ABOUT The Exile Nation Project: An Oral History of the War on Drugs & The American Criminal Justice System - A film by Charles Shaw
The Land of the Free punishes or imprisons more of its citizens than any other nation. This collection of testimonials from criminal offenders, family members, and experts on America’s criminal justice system puts a human face on the millions of Americans subjugated by the US Government’s 40 year, one trillion dollar social catastrophe: The War on Drugs; a failed policy underscored by fear, politics, racial prejudice and intolerance in a public atmosphere of “out of sight, out of mind.”
The United States has only 5% of the world’s population, yet a full 25% of the world’s prisoners. At 2.5 million, the US has more prisoners than even China does with five times the population of the United States.
8 million Americans (1 in every 31) languish under some form of state monitoring known as “correctional supervision.” On top of that, the security and livelihood of over 13 million more has been forever altered by a felony conviction.
The American use of punishment is so pervasive, and so disproportionate, that even the conservative magazine The Economist declared in 2010, “never in the civilized world have so many been locked up for so little.”
The project will unfold over a two year period, beginning with the release of this feature-length documentary and then continuing on with the release of short films and complete interviews from each of the 100 participants in the project, meant to represent the 1 in 100 Americans that are currently sitting behind bars.
Dr. Linda Salvin Noted Modern Psychic
Linda received her Bachelor of Arts in Health Education from San Francisco State University in 1975 and went on to earn a Masters Degree in Public Health at the University of Michigan in 1977. She was ordained as a Doctor of Divinity in June, 1999. In June, 2008 Linda was awarded her Ph.D. in Metaphysics from the American Institute of Holistic Theology. Born bereft of psychic gifts and originally trained in public science, Dr. Linda Salvin has traveled, and still does travel, a remarkable life journey.
Devastating but Transcending Accidents
A series of devastating accidents transformed her life. A successful public health professional, Linda survived a commercial airliner crash in 1981 while on company business. As she was sliding down the shoot, Linda had an out-of-body experience. That was the beginning of her psychic and spiritual changes.A year later, she was struck by a fire truck and in 1984, another traumatic auto accident brought her to the white light. A surgery in 1991 proved to be another life-altering experience, opening her to her healing gifts. By 1996, her body had developed tumors from healing people which needed to be removed; after her first of three surgeries for the tumors, Linda became a transmedium and began communicating with the other side to assit other people. With each of these experiences, her spiritual connection, psychic, healing and mediuamship abilities began to grow. Rather then dwell on her own challenges, Linda reached out to futher assist and heal others. Linda began her radio career in 1994.
Full Time Psychic
Eventually, Linda left her career as an epidemiologist to devote her full time energies to her metaphysical gifts. In addition to developing, through referral, an international following as a respected psychic, healer, and channeler in private practice, she took her skills to a wider audience via radio in 1994.

I am a conventional doctor of medicine, who is also blessed with the gift of clairvoyance. I have been through training as a psychic, a healer, and a medium in addition to my training in an anesthesiologist. My passion is to bring healing to a whole new dimension: with Spirit. Healers of the past, used spiritual technique because there was no technology to aid them in the care of patients. Medicine has progressed to the point where multiple-drug resistant organisms, advanced cancers, and other incurable disease is causing suffering to a multitude of people on earth. Why not put Reiki and other energy healing techniques, which are traditionally the expertise of 'alternative' medical therapy, and combine the best of both worlds? This is my dream, and I hope, yours too: to take medicine to the next level in compassion and efficacy for everyone who is experiencing disease. One patient at a time, for the past five years since I learned Reiki, I have made this form of healing available as part of their treatment for anyone who wishes to have it. For free.

Dieter Braun (Indian in the machine) is a 43 years young “free spirit”, and is a mixed blood of Cree (Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation), and German ancestry. Dieter has two degrees from the University of Saskatchewan (Food Chemistry and Masters in Business Administration), and has taught at Business Administration at Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies, Saskatchewan Indian Federated College, and Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation. About 8 years ago, Dieter cashed in his RRSP’s from his cushy teaching gigs, and was spiritually guided to become a spiritual messenger and healer, and in the process became one of Canada’s top “infamous” internet bloggers. Dieter’s one blog, ”Listen To the Red Shaman 2012″ (indianinthemachine.wordpress.com) has higher internet ranking (https://www.alexa.com/) than both the canadian Assembly of First Nations, and Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations… not too shabby for one “crazy indian” with no government funding or support.
Dieter has recorded numerous CDs, played his spirit music at numerous concerts, festivals and gatherings, self-produced over 145 youtube videos. Dieter’s ten “Indian in the machine” websites reach 150000-250000 page views a month touching upon a wide range of subjects that many people, organizations, and media, are afraid to go public, including: chemtrails, modern day genocide strategies, mainstream conspiracies and coverups, Sananda (“Jesus” from the bible), messages from the Heavenly Hosts, Haarp weather modification, Sky elementals, UFO cloudships, Galactic Federation of Light, illuminati, ufos, extraterrestrial visitations, Archangels, Ascended Masters, and so on.
Dieter manufactures ionic foot bath plates in Saskatoon Saskatchewan for international delivery, and has assisted thousands of people all over the world to “detox from the modern world”, to remove radiation and heavy metals from the body which contribute to cancer, and to prepare ourselves spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally for the end of 2012 and the Golden Age of Aquarius.
Dieter currently lives in Mexico, and will be returning to Canada in the spring 2012, for healing work, recording music, drum-making, ceremonies, and drum circles in Red Deer, Banff and other western Canadian and international locales.
Dieter is living proof that living with passion, will and spirit, and sticking with what his heart tells him is the truth, a person can accomplish the ‘impossible’ and make much of it, possible. Dieter’s message to the world with a special nod to his indigenous worldwide family is to “keep shining your light, and go where the truth and your joy are, no matter what others around you are willing to believe… after all is said and done, the truth and love will remain”.
