Episode 42: The Mystical Second-Generation Path of Christian Libertarianism/The Ballard Affair Leads To Crises for Others In their Sphere of Influence

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 discusses the replacement of James Fifield Jr. both in Spiritual Mobilization and his church pastorate in the mid-1950s with James Ingebretsen, who had a mystical experience in hearing the voice of his dead infant daughter, and thus took the conservative Christian media outlet Spiritual Mobilization in a recognized Gnostic spiritual direction, as a consortium of Big Business Gnostics began to reshape the minds of conservative Christians, and brought in the influence of the enigmatic mystic Gerald Heard. The "Contemporary Intelligence Briefing Case File" cites reports showing that, in the wake of growing complaints about Tim Ballard and Operation Underground Railroad, his key supporters began distancing themselves, with Glenn Beck dropping him from his organization, and the director of his biographical film as well, the same film producing grassroots "instant experts" in trafficking, and Marco Rubio intervenes on the military banning of its showing.
