Episode 27: The Religion of Wealth Obsession and Greed, Christian Style/The Dire, Directionless State of Today's Young Men

This episode continues a lengthy series reviewing a key historical section of the founding of conservative Christian media from Dr. Bennett's last book, "Two Masters and Two Gospels, Vol. 1: The Teaching of Jesus Vs. the "Leaven of the Pharisees" in Talk Radio and Cable News," of which more about it and its availability can be found ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. This episode reviews the two major Christian wealth-class parachurch organizations of the mid-Century, Spiritual Mobilization and Christian Economics, coming together in Southern California, and refining their pro-business, anti-poor and immigrant gospel, as taken from their newsletters secured within the vaults of the CIA files. The "Contemporary Intelligence Briefing Case File" reviews recent reports characterizing the awkwardness of the modern male, in his insecurity around women and in the world, and the overreaction of the macho "manosphere" culture online, and speculations on how a proper balance of masculinity and meekness can be found.
