About this listen
Francisco Madero begins his second phase of mediumship under the guidance of a spirit identified as José—supported by another spirit identified only as BJ (probably liberal icon Benito Juárez). These spirits encourage Madero to engage in political action and eventually in armed rebellion, against the increasingly corrupt and authoritarian regime of Porfirio Diaz.
