Exploring Affiliations in Charismatic Organizations and Global Expansion

(6 of 11)

The sixth episode in conversation with Wendy Painting, author of Aberration in the Heartland of the Real: The Secret Lives of Timothy McVeigh. In this episode, we discuss McVeigh's relationship with Jack Oliphant, which leads us to discuss Jack Oliphant's spooky career. This includes Oliphant's involvement in the whole JFK thing, Oliphant's involvement in the whole Hoffa thing, Oliphant's weird religious ties and spooky ordinations, and Oliphant's career as a cult leader. This episode also includes information Wendy has never discussed publicly. Wild stuff.
