Constitutional attorney Danny Sheehan — the legal voice behind Citizens for Disclosure — maps the real implications of full UAP disclosure: the constitutional crisis, the citizen-diplomacy path, and the Majestic 12 successors who are now known by name. From 43 states organizing on the ground to live Congressional testimony confirming retrieved craft and non-human biologics, Danny walks through what disclosure actually looks like when it happens. He covers psionic propulsion that moves entire UFO vehicles instantaneously, the candidate-pledge strategy circumventing media gatekeepers, and the citizen-led ET-contact diplomacy bypassing the national security state. This is the disclosure aftermath nobody is yet preparing for.

Karen Silkwood, an employee of the Kerr-McGee plutonium processing plant, was killed in a car crash on her way to deliver important documents to a newspaper reporter in 1974. Silkwood was a union activist concerned about health and safety issues at the plant, and her death at age twenty-eight was considered by many to be highly suspicious. Was it Kerr-McGee's revenge on a troublesome whistle-blower? Or was it part of a much larger conspiracy reaching from the Atomic Energy Commission to the FBI and the CIA?Richard Rashke leads us through the myriad of charges and countercharges, theories and facts, and reaches conclusions based solely on the evidence in hand. Originally published in 1981, his book offers a vivid, edgy picture of the tensions that racked this country in the 1970s. However, the volume is not only an important historical document. Complex, fascinating characters populate this compelling insider's view of the nuclear industry. The issues it explores―whistle-blowers, worker safety, the environment, and nuclear vulnerability―have not lost relevance today, twenty-six years after Silkwood's white Honda Civic was found trapped in a concrete culvert near Oklahoma City.For this second edition, Rashke has added a Preface and three short chapters that explore what has been learned about Silkwood since the book's original publication, explain what happened to the various actors in the drama, and discuss the long-term effects of the events around Silkwood's death.https://amzn.to/48SIkj0Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Heute vor 80 Jahren wurde im US-Bundesstaat Texas Karen Silkwood geboren, die als Whistleblowerin einen Plutonium-Skandal aufdeckte und unter nie geklärten Umständen ums Leben kam.
In 1974, lab technician Karen Silkwood left work carrying something more dangerous than plutonium — evidence.She had uncovered missing nuclear material, falsified safety records, and contamination inside an Oklahoma plant that powered the Atomic Age. She told friends she was being followed. She arranged to meet a journalist with proof.On the way to that meeting, her car left the road. Karen Silkwood died. The documents she carried were never found.What followed was a battle that stretched from accident reconstruction scenes to federal courtrooms — a fight over contamination, corporate negligence, whistleblowing, and whether her death was a tragic crash… or something far darker.This episode dives into the investigation, the legal war, the theories, the suspects, and the aftermath — from the closing of nuclear plants to the legacy of a woman who refused to look away.Some stories fade. This one still burns.
On November 28, 1974, 28-year-old Karen Silkwood was killed in a car wreck on Highway 74 near Crescent, Oklahoma. Her death was officially ruled an accident. But her friends, family, and co-workers knew the real story: she had been killed for what she knew - and what she was about to do about it. In her car was a folder full of evidence that she was about to turn over to the New York Times detailing the plutonium contamination of herself and her fellow workers at the local nuclear energy plant, and, crucially, evidence that the plant and THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, was complicit in nuclear proliferation - AKA GIVING FOREIGN POWERS THE TOOLS TO MAKE NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

In this episode of our Mike Nichols marathon, we reunite with the battle-worn director to talk about a movie that took him out of his self-imposed Hollywood exile, Silkwood. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how this movie contributes to the spawning of a crusader realism subgenre, the genesis of his fruitful collaboration with Nora Ephron and Meryl Streep and how the movie is both an important piece because it sheds light at an important story and a reflection of the director's personal awakening. We also talk about the many health and safety violations depicted in the movie, raise an eyebrow at the living conditions of the characters and even wonder what it would have been like if the company Karen Silkwood worked for was run by Batman villains.

Do you believe in UFOs? Is it possible that there are extraterrestrials here on planet Earth? Do unidentified beings walk among us? This is so hard to imagine, but humanity is at a time where we can take a leap in consciousness and understand that this may be a possibility. Our guest today is the esteemed civil rights attorney, Daniel Sheehan. Daniel is Harvard-educated and has worked on high-profile cases such as the Karen Silkwood case and Iran Contra civil case. He is also at the forefront of the unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) Disclosure movement which aims to bring transparency to this phenomenon. He is also the founder of the New Paradigm Institute and the Romero Institute, dedicated to social and environmental justice. Today Danny talks about the direct link between spirituality and consciousness. When confronted by challenges, we can turn to spirituality. When we see how incredibly vast our universe really is, it's easier to imagine that we are not alone. There are different dimensions and different realities. We have limited understanding, but by opening up to exploration, and especially by learning from indigenous peoples, we can broaden our perspectives. As a civil rights attorney, Daniel has done a lot of work with the Lakota people. He explains how they believe they come from the Pleiades in their spiritual tradition. This is a specific constellation visible to us. They believe they have had a lot of encounters with Star People. The Shamans receive messages which they share within their community. We have evidence of tens of thousands of people having these encounters around the world. Now science is studying this phenomenon, and our government is investigating these incidents. Our worldviews depend on whether we view them as a threat, or as spiritual, enlightened beings. We are in a period right now where more people are open to this information. It may help us to answer profound questions – it may be a threat, or it may be an opportunity. We have Free Will and we can explore and determine our own answers. Daniel Sheehan will be speaking at the upcoming Conscious Life Expo at the LAX Hilton on Saturday, February 8, 2025, at 2pm Pacific. His topic is “The Present State ‘Official U.S. Government Disclosure' of the UFO/E.T. Reality.” He will also have a post-conference on Monday, Feb. 10. The Conscious Life Expo held at the LAX Hilton in Los Angeles will take place Feb 7 – 10, 2025. Lisa Garr will be moderating the Radical Healing Panel on Sunday, Feb 9 at Noon Pacific.

In this episode of Truth Be Told Paranormal, Tony Sweet sits down with renowned Harvard-trained attorney Daniel Sheehan to explore the groundbreaking developments in official U.S. government disclosure of the UFO and extraterrestrial reality.As the legal counsel for Luis Elizondo—the former Director of the Pentagon's secretive program investigating UFO phenomena—Sheehan provides unparalleled insights into the U.S. Senate's demands for transparency. He discusses the historic directive requiring all military branches, intelligence agencies, and defense departments to turn over every document and piece of material related to UFOs and non-human intelligence to the National Archives.Beyond the headlines, Sheehan shares his experiences as a civil rights attorney leading landmark cases such as the Karen Silkwood investigation and the Iran-Contra affair. With decades of expertise in public interest law, he sheds light on the current push for disclosure and the challenges faced by whistleblowers and activists seeking truth.Don't miss this compelling conversation that delves into the latest updates, the implications for humanity, and the journey toward uncovering the truth about unidentified anomalous phenomena.Available on all major podcast platforms.#UFO #Disclosure #DanielSheehan #LuisElizondo #UAP #TruthBeTold #Extraterrestrial #UFOPhenomenon #GovernmentDisclosure #NonHumanIntelligence #UFOWhistleblowers #ParanormalPodcast #CivilRights #ConsciousLifeExpo #TonySweet #AnomalousPhenomena Subscribe and listen now at @TheClubParanormal on your favorite podcast platform Please Like, Subscribe and Share today's show Visit www.ClubParanormal.com for more information about upcoming shows.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/truth-be-told-paranormal--3589860/support.

The Killing of Karen SilkwoodNovember 18Karen Gay Silkwood was an American chemical technician and labor union activist known for reporting concerns about corporate practices related to health and safety in a nuclear facility.She worked at the Kerr-McGee Cimarron Fuel Fabrication Site in Crescent, Oklahoma, making plutonium pellets. She was the first woman ever elected to the union's negotiating team at Kerr-McGee. After testifying to the Atomic Energy Commission about her safety concerns, she was found to have plutonium contamination in her body and her home. While driving to meet with a New York Times journalist and an official of her union's national office, she died in a car crash, the circumstances of which were never explained entirely.Her family sued Kerr-McGee for the plutonium contamination that Silkwood suffered from. The company settled out of court for US$1.38 million, while not admitting liability. Her story was chronicled in Mike Nichols's 1983 Academy Award-nominated movie Silkwood in which she was portrayed by Meryl Streep.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
Three investigators tried to solve the mystery of what happened to Karen Silkwood on that dark highway the night of November 13th, 1974. An accident investigator hired by the union believed so strongly that Karen's car had been forced off the road that he saved the bumper as evidence, handing it down to his daughter on his deathbed. A private eye pieced together a theory that Silkwood was under surveillance. And a state trooper launched his own investigation inside law enforcement. They all hit dead ends. Or did they?
