ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE is far more advanced than most of us realize. In fact, it may be the instrument through which the Antichrist comes to power. Tech entrepreneur and billionaire Peter Thiel delivered four lectures in Rome this week on the subject of the Antichrist. He was disavowed by the Vatican and Catholic universities in Rome, and protesters gathered outside the private, invitation only events. The irony, according to Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis, author of the forthcoming book The New AI Cold War (next week's guest on A View from the Bunker), is that while Thiel correctly foresees...

A CARDBOARD CUTOUT of Mojtaba Khamenei stood in for the real thing at a rally in Tehran this week because Iran’s new supreme leader is reportedly in no shape to make public appearances.  According to reports in the Daily Mail and The Sun, Khameini was badly injured in an air strike and may be comatose—unaware he’s the supreme leader of Iran. Why would the IRGC elevate a comatose man to this position? Possibly as political cover so they can rule in his name. Whether Mojtaba Khameini is even alive at this point is an open questio...

A FIFTH COLUMN of conservative influencers is fracturing the base of support for President Trump by pushing ideas from the man called “Putin’s brain.” Aleksandr Dugin had hoped President Trump would lead the United States into a multipolar world. Instead, Trump's willingness to use the United States military to achieve specific goals in Iran, namely, regime change and the prevention of the Islamic Republic obtaining nuclear weapons, has shattered that vision. Meanwhile, podcasters like Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, and others are, whether they realize it or not, pushing Dugin’s worldview on their...

WHEN PEOPLE move from one nation to another, do they bring their gods with them? We ask because God delegated authority over the nations to angelic beings called "sons of God" after the tower of Babel incident (Deuteronomy 32:8). The Western world has been flooded by migrants from parts of the world that are generally not Christian over the last 15 years. Is this more than simply trying to compensate for low birth rates in the northern hemisphere? In our book, the Gates of Hell, we showed how the location of Jesus ministry mattered. For example, his declaration...

Stream of consciousness this week on P.I.D. Radio! We discuss a book about “the Octopus,” a wide-ranging conspiracy that involved the US government, the Cabazon Indian reservation, the Iran-Contra scandal, and multiple suspicious deaths. For a summary of the Octopus, listen to our 2009 program called “The Octopus.” Also: Islam’s slow conquest of the West and a bizarre scandal at the Winter Olympics that rhymes with “Venus Gate.” Our new book The Gates of Hell is now available in paperback, Kindle, and as an audiobook at Audible! Derek’s new book Destination...

AI IS EVERYWHERE—and today even more so than last week.  This week, we discuss the evolution of AI agents, their implications for society, and the intersection of technology with current global events. Moltbook, a social media platform for AI, was created this week and already has more than 1.4 million AI agents as users.  We delve into philosophical and theological questions surrounding AI sentience. Have we reached the Singularity? Are these really all AI agents or have at least some of them been hijacked by external entities? We also touch on recent explosions in Iran...

PRESIDENT TRUMP unveiled the charter of his Board of Peace at the World Economic Forum this week. Does that make him the Antichrist? No. He’s too old and too divisive. But the Board of Peace raises interesting questions: Since the charter doesn’t mention Gaza, does Trump see the Board of Peace as a potential replacement for the United Nations? With Trump having almost total control over the board, will nations continue to participate after Trump’s term as president expires? Is this the peace plan that leads to a global government? Also: Yuval Noah Harari...

IRAN BURNING and couriers hauling suitcases full of US dollars to Mogadishu dominated headlines this week. It’s been reported that as many as 20,000 Iranians have been killed by the regime there, although it’s impossible to get good information from Iran. The ayatollahs have imposed an Internet blackout that may last through March.  Meanwhile, the Somali scandal keeps getting bigger. It was revealed this week that as much as $700 million has been carried out of the country in suitcases over the last two years. The scope of the operation means this isn’t limited to the Som...

TERRORISTS SHOT and killed 15 people in Australia last weekend. Contrary to the media narrative, this is another example of the long conflict between Islam and the world. The history of Islam’s relations with non-Muslims over the last 1,400 years is violent. Unlike most other religions, the rewards promised to Muslims are carnal—physical pleasures, in this world or the next. Also: Steven Spielberg’s forthcoming film Disclosure Day brings the idea of “first contact” with ETIs back to the forefront of pop culture. From a Christian perspective, humans have been visited by non-human entities for millennia, and first...

PORTSMOUTH, ENGLAND has banned Christmas wreaths on the doors of council flats because they are allegedly a fire hazard—but they’re OK inside the apartments. What? The real reason is the secular city council doesn’t want to see symbols of the season where Christians celebrate the birth of Christ.  Similarly, the leader of the largest far-left party in France, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, said this week, “Christianity is patriarchal, and women have to cover up and submit to men. In Islam, women submit to God only, therefore, their veil represents freedom and dignity.” I...

The World Health Organization in October published a document promoting a global ID to track your vaccination status from birth. This proposal, which is funded by the Gates Foundation, is another of the WHO’s efforts to become the de facto global government. The ID they want to impose on us would give it the power to use vaccination status as a qualifier for travel, education, and government services. We also discuss the US government’s bold stance acknowledging that unrestricted immigration, which is coming primarily from Muslim nations, poses an existential threat to the West. <br...

A ROMAN PLAYWRIGHT named Plautus wrote, “Man is a wolf to man.” He wasn’t wrong, but he didn’t see the spiritual forces behind the humans who prey on others. This week, we discuss the abduction of more than 200 students and teachers Friday from a Catholic school in Nigeria, just a few days after 25 schoolgirls were abducted at another Nigerian school. These are just the latest incidents in a long series of attacks against Christian communities by Muslims in Nigeria. We also learned this week that the largest source of funding for the Somali Islamist militant...

WE’RE BACK from our Israel tour, where we saw the red heifers that have caused such a stir. Four of the heifers are being kept at Shiloh. On July 1, the Temple Institute sacrificed and burned one of the five that had been brought to Israel in September of 2022 in what’s been described as a trial run. There have been some reports that this was the actual sacrifice required to prepare the way for the Third Temple, which prompted the Temple Institute to issue a press release this week denying that the ritual in July was kosher.<br...

THE WORLD waits to see whether Hamas will fulfill its part of President Trump’s peace deal for Gaza. We are skeptical. Even if the 48 hostages are returned to Israel, only 20 of whom are believed to be alive, the price—some 2,000 prisoners, including about 250 serving life sentences in Israeli prisons for committing acts of terror—may be one Israelis come to regret someday. In 2011, one of the 1,067 Palestinians released in exchange for a single captive Israeli soldier was Yahya Sinwar, who planned the October 7, 2023 massacre of 1,200 Israelis. We also discuss the warning by the Bank of Englan...

IT APPEARS Hamas has accepted President Trump’s 20-point plan for peace in Gaza. We say “appears” because Hamas said nothing in its formal acceptance about demilitarizing, and it insists on a role in governing Gaza after Israel withdraws. Both points are key for Israel, the US, and the Palestinian Authority, which holds no love for Hamas. The plan calls for security in Gaza to be provided by 5,000 Palestinians who’ve been training in Egypt in recent months, who will be joined by Palestinian police officers currently training in Jordan—which means there have been plans in the wor...

MORE THAN 80 percent of the world’s nations now recognize an independent state of Palestine. Since October 7, 2023, anti-Israel and anti-Jewish sentiment is becoming more open and more strident, even among Christians. We are seeing the developing “coalition of the willing” that will one day follow the Antichrist to war against Israel. And it only took to the slaughter of 1,200 Israelis to bring Ezekiel’s prophecy of the war of Gog of Magog to the verge of fulfillment. Also: The UK goes full-on Big Brother; and Tylenol, TikTok, and Trump Derangement Syndrome.You can help Josh and...

THE FBI’s investigation into the shooting of Charlie Kirk has turned up a disturbing connection to an Antifa-linked group called the John Brown Gun Club. John Brown was a violent Civil War-era abolitionist who believed the institution of slavery could only be purged ”with blood.” His memory has been invoked by a leftist organization linked to Antifa that seeks to militarize the white working class against symbols of what it perceives as oppression—like the police. The Texas-based Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club, the transgender group behind the July 4th shooting at the ICE facility...

THE DEATH of Charlie Kirk Wednesday shocked the world. It was the most high-profile assassination in recent American history. The founder of Turning Point USA was in the middle of an event at Utah Valley University when his life was cut short, allegedly by a shot fired by 22-year-old Tyler Robinson. The response on social media has ranged from grief and anger by those who admired and respected Charlie, and outright joy and celebration by those who interpreted his overtly Christian message as hateful and dangerous. That’s the key to understanding what is otherwise a se...

A GROUP called the International Association of Genocide Scholars issued a statement this week declaring that Israel’s war against Hamas met the criteria for genocide.Not so fast!The mainstream media not surprisingly ran with the story, but only the Washington Free Beacon did actual journalism, asking some obvious questions: Who are these people? How does one become a “genocide scholar”? How many people voted on the resolution to declare Israel guilty of genocide? It turns out there are about 600 members in the IAGS, and the only requirement to become a “genocide scholar” is paying...

WHAT DO YOU GET when you cross a tech billionaire with the gospel? Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, a company with multiple contracts with the U.S. government, will deliver a series of four lectures on the Antichrist in September and October. He recently gave an interview with Ross Douthat of The New York Times on the Antichrist. Why does a tech entrepreneur feel the need to expound at length on the great end times enemy of God and man? And why is he doing it off the record? Thiel’s lectures are presented by...
