Episode 34: The Tragic Legacy of Fascist Gerald L. K. Smith/The Earlier Roots of Tim Ballard's Operation, and Later Big Surprises

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 concludes the amazing but sad story of fascist Gerald L. K. Smith, who found some redemption at the hands of some "long hairs," and introduces Rev. Ralph Lord Roy and his 1953 book, "Apostles of Discord," beginning with its discussion of the "Nazi Jayhawk" Gerald Winrod. The "Contemporary Intelligence Briefing Case File" explores some of the earliest reports (in 2015) about Operation Underground Railroad and Tim Ballard, both by fawning reporters and skeptics as to their alleged accomplishments and tactics, and then exposes their use of psychics involved in necromancy with deceased Mormon prophets to find the trafficked children, as first exposed in a March 2021 VICE report.
