Beneath Sheep's Clothing

Directed by Steve Rey Sorensen

A riveting journey through Soviet history and modern America to understand the pattern of a communist takeover of culture. Witness firsthand accounts of historical Soviet tactics to overtake education and religion.  Observe the compelling evidence that similar tactics have been at play with our schools and churches here in America – for over a century!  If our culture-making institutions here in America, the West in general, and globally are subverted to Marxist ideologies, what comes next? Today we stand at the precipice of history. 

COST: Normally free, we are requesting a $10 Donation/Attendee to cover the Film Makers’ $150 screening fee. (Legally, DVDs are not for group viewing.  Ann Streit had hoped to make DVDs available for purchase, but they have been on backorder for 6-8 weeks.)

Tucker Carlson’s interview with former Nixon White House staffer, Geoff Shepard

Geoff came to Washington, DC in 1969 as a White House Fellow, after graduating from Whittier College and Harvard Law School. The youngest lawyer on President Nixon’s White House staff, he served on the Domestic Council for five years, rising to associate director. He also worked as deputy counsel on Nixon’s Watergate defense team.

He has spent much of his career researching Watergate issues and is today the foremost authority on behind-the-scenes developments, both at the White House and the Watergate Special Prosecution Force, as the scandal unfolded.

He has written three books, given dozens of lectures and written dozens of essays. As detailed below, he was technical consultant to an off-Broadway stage play in 2021 (“Trial on the Potomac”), did a series of podcasts with Hugh Hewitt in 2020 (“Known Unknowns: Watergate”), and taught an adult education course at Temple University in 2019 (Watergate Revisited: An Insider’s View”).

His most recent project is a documentary, “Watergate Secrets and Betrayals, Orchestrating Nixon’s Demise,” written and directed by George Bugatti and narrated by John O’Hurley, which will be released on August 8, 2024, the 50th Anniversary of President Nixon’s resignation.
