Executive Producer Dave Duncan and Mormon CIA Connections
Executive Producer Dave Duncan contributes $333.33 and provides a detailed note about the recruitment of Mormons by the CIA, FBI, and NSA at BYU. He explains that Mormons are often targeted for recruitment because they typically lack "vices" like drugs or alcohol that could compromise agents. The note also touches on the political divide among Mormons regarding Donald Trump, Mitt Romney, and Mike Lee.
The hosts speculate on a connection between the Mormon Church and anti-Trump intelligence operations, noting that figures like Evan McMullin, Mitt Romney, and Mike Lee all have ties to BYU. They discuss the church's massive genealogical database and the proximity of the NSA data center in Utah as potential components of a "spook" operation.
