Episode 31: The Intoxicating Financiers of the Reagan Revolution/Disturbing Initial Revelations of Operation Underground Railroad

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 a 1988 LA Times interview with the Coors family - the primary financiers of Ronald Ronald Reagan's political career, and a microcosm of the contradictions of the Religious Right: a family whose patriarchs are open adulterers, yet also apocalyptic fundamentalist extremists, a Colorado horror story to their workers and the environment, and filled with bigotry and elitism, and even central figures in Iran Contra. The "Contemporary Intelligence Briefing Case File" goes deeper into investigative findings by VICE of Tim Ballard and Operation Underground Railroad from December 2020, including his background and the role of his LDS faith, and the wreckage left behind in the theater of their "rescue" operations with bigger revelations to come.
