Premium 37 - the Azusa Street Revival, Holy Rollers, Oral Roberts, William Branham, the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International, Moral Re-Armament, Auto Manufacturers, the Kardashians, MKULTRA Subproject 84, Invesco, and Jim Jones (Patreon)

In this episode, I discuss the rise of the US Pentecostal/Charismatic movement, going through the Azusa Street Revival, the story of Oral Roberts, the Kansas City Prophets, William Branham, the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International, the Kardashians, Moral Rearmament, and how MKULTRA subproject 84 studied the trance states which these religious movements created. In relation to this, I discuss William Sargant and the early career of Jim Jones. 

Re Jones, I focus on Dan Mitrione and police snitching, Father Divine, and Invesco S.A. Ultimately, I argue that Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple was, among many things, the weaponization of Pentecostal states studied by MKULTRA.
