The Two Spies Report - The Original WRFN Broadcast Archives

This episode primarily comprises research presented by Dr. Bennett at the 2021 Strange Realities Conference, and supplemented by new findings. It briefly reviews a history of military involvement in paranormal studies and remote reviewing for their exploitation. It then discloses declassified military documents from Army's Ft. Meade not long ago that revealed their earlier foray into the Monroe Institute's technique of binaural beats auditory stimulation to reliably create out of body experiments, travel forward and back in time, and contact with non-human entities, which the Army report confirms based upon experiences of their platoons of intelligence officers trained in such. It reveals the common technique of advanced spiritual practices to put the discerning left brain lobe to sleep, and casually dismisses the supernatural dangers they admit it creates.

This episode explores the impact of electronic online media on the fundamental processes of the human mind, by its mechanisms and basic structure regardless of content, and the particular reality-defining nature of the simple meme images and phrases of social media, based upon careful scientific studies, as well as the exploitation of such who pursue occult magical activities today, who construct memes as a magical working to successfully alter the world to the will of the magician as a kind of sorcery, based upon the testimony of practitioners, and their techniques.

This episode is an edited recording of the Live Surveillance Contemporary Case Files live broadcast of the show in the studios of Radio Free Nashville (WRFN-LP, 107.1/1037 FM), joined by good friend "Agent" Adam Sayne of the popular and venerable ⁠Conspirinormal⁠ podcast. Again, this broadcast in the WRFN local studio encountered numerous audio and technical difficulties, particularly in the first few minutes, but has been post-processed to minimize difficulties in listening. In another informal, laid back discussion, we review recent stories about a tragic religious family suicide pact, new studies of increased mental illness and violence in teens, consideration of legitimate vs imaginary societal threats, and more information on ReAwaken America, and the prophecies of its Prophetess Julie Green.

This episode considers a detailed world history of techniques of individual and mass mind control and perception of reality, from entheogens and shamanistic experiences, through religious ritual, mesmerism/hypnosis, Freudian psychoanalysis, and new techniques of electronic stimuli via the Computer and Internet Age, the latter of which control our impulses and perceptions of our world and issues today, in more dominant fashion than ever, including another Pew study in a Contemporary Case file showing the degradation of mental and social skills resulting today, as a precursor to a future show exploring a disturbing case study.

Six shows into this series, we finally divulge the perceived current spiritual state of affairs of our society that warranted the creation of the Two Spies Report radio series, and the strategy and messages it employs. It includes the "'Five Pillars' of My Discontent with the Current Conservative Religious Culture." In addition to some selections for Music for Meditation, it also includes a Contemporary Case File of recent Pew Trust survey findings of the erosion of public support for organized religion.

This episode reviews another short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne that may be more disturbing than the previously-reviewed "Young Goodman Brown," at least to a spiritual-minded person. "The Minister's Black Veil" recounts the reaction a pious Puritan community has to the sudden and unexplained appearance of a "black veil" covering their parson's face one Sunday, and thereafter. The reactions of all parties to its sinister effect reveal their inner thoughts and guilt, group think, paranoia and repressed secrets, and the gravity of lives and communities lived behind veils. These ideas will be considered, and their relevance today. This episode was originally broadcast by WRFN on Feb. 2, 2023. (c) Joseph Michael Bennett 2023

This episode is an edited recording of the inaugural live Contemporary Case Files broadcast of the show in the studios of Radio Free Nashville (WRFN-LP, 107.1/1037 FM), joined by good friend "Agent" Adam Sayne of the popular and venerable Conspirinormal podcast. In an informal, laid back discussion, we review recent stories about local problems with Greg Locke and his Global Vision Bible Church, the Reawaken America Tour, the Cookeville drag show protests, a Christian school sex abuse scandal, and Russian Orthodox Church pronouncement of Putin as Chief Exorcist in his "desatanization" work. This live recording was edited due to in-studio audio and technical difficulties, and was originally broadcast on Jan. 26, 2023. (c) 2023 Joseph Michael Bennett

This episode explores a 14-page 1835 short story by the author of The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne - a story which author Stephen King described as "one of the ten best stories written by an American." This chilling story, which can still keep people today awake at night, through its narrative of deep occult doings in a sleepy "Christian" town, reveals a loss of spiritual innocence and trust in community and its religious institutions and leadership. Dr. Bennett summarizes the cogent elements of this tale, and how he and possibly many others now relate to the spiritual alienation Goodman Brown felt, now from the modern, "righteous" Bible Belt spiritual culture of their upbringing, as they similarly "pull back the veil" on the true nature of their beloved religious institutions and peers.

Although broadcast on a secular radio station, this episode recounts the historical narrative from the Bible that gave the Two Spies Report blog, and subsequent radio show and podcast its inspiration, of the children of Israel on their Exodus from Egypt, culminating in their decision whether to enter a foreign land and culture, with the fearsome "giants in the land." After pointing out key details of the events, it ruminates on its relevance to people of faith today, and whether they will believe the "minority report" of "two spies" to enter a secular culture with faith in God for flourishing, or the "ten spies" and the mass media murmurers based upon paranoia, alarmism and ultimate lack of faith in God's reliability, as a theme for the current blog, radio show and podcast forward.

This kickoff episode, in which Mike Bennett (formerly known as Dr. Future) kicks the rust off the rails of his fledgling show production skills (having produced his last show in February 2012) and with new primitive production tools at his disposal, cobbles together an introduction show that describes himself, his role in the origins of WRFN Nashville community radio, how it changed him as a person, what he has been up to since being gone from the airwaves for eleven years, and he feels it is necessary to renew a public discussion on WRFN once again.
