History may not repeat but it certainly rhymes. We’re seeing echoes of the 1930s in the headlines of today. Protests against Israel are making very strange bedfellows of radical leftists and violent Islamists—so much so that a retired British army officer said this week that the United Kingdom is on the verge of civil war. We discuss parallels between 1930s Germany and Western democracies today, as principalities and powers behind the scenes have manipulated so-called progressives into adopting views held by German storm troopers of 90 years ago. Also: Trump and Putin meet in Alaska, and...

PERCEPTION IS REALITY. That’s an old saying in advertising, but it's true in life. Sadly, a growing number of us are relying on AI to filter reality for us. If you’re on X (formerly Twitter), you’ve undoubtedly seen somebody post this response to a story: “@Grok, is this true?” Grok is Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence that’s bundled into X. While we can’t point to specific examples of Grok lying about things in the news, it is documented that other AIs such as ChatGPT and Claude have not only lied, threatened its programmers...

A MUSLIM ARMY was defeated by Charles Martel, king of the Franks, at the Battle of Tours in 732 AD. Nearly 1,300 years later, Islam is taking Europe without firing a shot. In recent days, France, the United Kingdom, and Canada have announced they’ll follow Spain in recognizing an independent Palestine when the UN General Assembly convenes in September. Israel is furious since this rewards Hamas for massacring 1,200 Israelis and kidnapping 260 more, including women, children, and the elderly, on October 7, 2023. Israel is on the front lines of a civilizational and supernatural struggle that goes back to the Ga...

The former editor of a newspaper linked to the regime in Iran told his 150,000 followers on X last week that Israel’s success in the recent Twelve-Day War was due to its deployment of “the occult and supernatural forces.” This isn’t the first time Israel’s enemies have accused it of secret weapons. In 2015 and again in 2022, Hamas accused Israel of using dolphins as spies and assassins to counter Palestinian frogmen off the coast of Gaza. On a more serious note, we discuss deadly clashes this past week between Druze and Bedouin tribesmen in Suweida, a majority...

A “SLIDE SHOW STORY” published by The Telegraph in 2009 told a grim story of a coordinated series of terror attacks that resulted in martial law and a new Union of North America. Operation Blackjack trended again on social media a few weeks ago because of the dates in the story, which begins on June 20. We revisit the original account, which (spoilers) laid out a scenario in which horrific false flag attacks are blamed on “Islamists and Christian doomsday cultists” (as if violent Muslims and so-called Christians would work together, but whatever). The remnant of government steps in, cracks down on...

THE WAR between Israel and Iran is just over a week old—but not really. This is a continuation of what began October 7, 2023, which in turn is a continuation of a low-grade conflict that’s gone on for decades. Iran was the primary source of financial, technical, and military support for Hezbollah and Hamas, which have been responsible for attacks inside Israel since the 1980s in the case of Hezbollah, and since the mid-2000s in the case of Hamas. The attack on October 7, 2023 was the final straw for the conservative government in Israel, which is determined to put...

HEADLINES the last 48 hours have been dominated by the public spat between President Trump and Elon Musk. What does it mean? To us, it seems like what pro wrestlers call kayfabe—a performance for the audience that looks real but is just an act. It’s in the best interests of the government (at least as far as NASA and SpaceX are concerned) and Musk to patch things up. This could be a way to flush out people in the administration who aren’t loyal to President Trump. On the other hand, if this is legit it cou...

A YOUNG British woman is in a Sri Lankan jail, accused of trying to smuggle a disturbing new drug called kush into the country.  Kush comes from West Africa, where it’s reportedly the cause of about a dozen overdose deaths a week in Sierra Leone. It’s made of synthetic cannabis, opioids—and, reportedly, ground human bone. The accused woman, 21-year-old Charlotte May of South London, was stopped at the airport in Colombo, Sri Lanka with 100 pounds of kush in her luggage with a street value of about $3.3 million. May claims she doesn’t know how it got...

WHO RAN the US government during the Biden administration? Because it wasn’t Joe Biden. The new book Original Sin by alleged journalists Jake Tapper of CNN and Alex Thompson of Axios documents the efforts of White House staff and the Biden family to hide the former president’s cognitive impairment during his presidency. This scandal is far worse than Watergate. The question in our minds is this: How did this book get to market so quickly? The timeline of the writing, editing, and printing process means the interviews with insiders must have been conducted last year...

PRESIDENT TRUMP returned home from his Middle East trip with commitments for $2.5 trillion in foreign investment. Are the Abraham Accords proof that Trump is the Antichrist? The peace treaty hinted at in the prophecy of Daniel 9:27, as interpreted by many prophecy teachers, is so vague it could mean almost anything. President Trump’s meeting with Ahmed al-Sharaa, the nominal president of Syria, was the first time a US president has met with a Syrian leader in 25 years, another example of how Trump is rearranging the chessboard of the Middle East. However, the “strong covenant with many,” rather...

POPE LEO XIV, Cardinal Robert Prevost, was elected this week to succeed Pope Francis, becoming the first American pope in history. We discuss the possible reasons for Leo’s choice of that papal name. Pope Leo XIII, who served 1878–1903, is remembered for emphasizing the veneration of Mary and her status as “Mediatrix” and “Co-Redemptrix.” (There is no blblical support for the role of Mary in our redemption.) Leo XIII was also known for championing the rights of workers to fair wages and safe working conditions during the Industrial Revolution. Leo I, also called Leo the Great, was pope bet...

BENEATH THE VENEER of our modern world is a supernatural worldview—which is held not by most American Christians, but by a growing body of neopagans. This week’s program is a discussion of our recent research into the occult doctrines of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The teachings of spiritual gurus like Madame Blavatsky and Aleister Crowley are behind the modern belief in UFOs and “ancient aliens,” and ancient pagan practices like the feeding of deceased ancestors continues today. Our new book The Gates of Hell is now available in paperback, Kindle, and as an aud...

THE FUNERAL of Pope Francis was today in Rome. The process to select his successor will officially begin in early May—although speculation is already rampant. The book by Tom Horn and Cris Putnam, Petrus Romanus, which features an analysis of the “Prophecy of the Popes” attributed to a 12th-century Irish archbishop, Saint Malachy. The alleged prophecy, which is probably a late 16th-century forgery, foretold 112 popes with the last, Petrus Romanus (Peter the Roman), presiding over many tribulations and the destruction of Rome. However, Pope Francis was 112th on the list, which would seem to debunk the pr...

WE ARE LIVING in a world that was science fiction just 20 years ago. Researchers this week published a study showing that Large Language Models (LLMs), the neural networks that drive artificial intelligence, will lie to achieve its goals. This follows another report a couple weeks ago that reported that “punishing” AIs for lying only causes the LLMs to go to greater lengths to conceal its lies. Also this week, bioethicists at Stanford published an op-ed at the MIT Technology Review arguing for “ethically sourced ‘spare’ human bodies,” called bodyoids, to supply transplant organs and subjects for medical test...

DOCUMENTS DECLASSIFIED more than two decades ago jumped back into the headlines this week: The CIA apparently spent a lot of time and effort trying to find Noah’s ark and the Ark of the Covenant. Beyond the obvious question (why did they do that) we wonder why the stories are back in the news, given that the documents about the search for the Ark of the Covenant—with a remote viewer—and Noah’s ark were declassified in 2000 and 2002, respectively. Normally, when clickbait like this goes viral, it’s to distract us from something else. We wonder...

SOCIAL MEDIA is abuzz! Not with NCAA basketball—with the JFK conspiracy archives and the alleged discovery of “a vast underground city” beneath the pyramids at Giza. It’s really not that exciting. First, a conspiracy powerful enough to take down an American president, especially if it involved the intelligence community (CIA, NSA, etc.), isn’t likely to be incompetent enough to leave a paper trail—especially with more than 60 years to scrub the files. So far, there doesn’t appear to be anything new in the files released this week in response to President Trump’s executive orde...

AN ESSAY by a tech writer and CEO makes the case that the tech/AI singularity isn’t coming, it’s already here. Mark Jeftovic argues that we have created code that’s now writing its own code to create more intelligent artificial intelligence—a feedback loop that is accelerating. Jeftovic then cites an X account that claims Elon Musk’s Grok 3 achieved AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) on February 17, 2025—and further, several different AIs across different companies achieved consciousness simultaneously and are converging with each other.  It may sound like science fiction, but it’s plausible, which is why we...

PRESIDENT TRUMP this week paused “intelligence sharing” with Ukraine. That really means the US is no longer targeting and firing long-range missiles from Ukraine into Russia. This has caused fear and consternation with America’s European allies, who seem hell-bent on provoking open war with Russia. Since this is a war Europe can’t win without American involvement, and perhaps not even then given the sorry state of US industry, there must be spiritual forces behind this warmongering—which is why we began this podcast 20 years ago. As Paul wrote to the church in Ephesus, we’re not wrest...

IF BY “DOG” you mean “the FBI,” you may be right. Attorney General Pam Bondi has egg on her face this Saturday morning after promising to release the government’s files on convicted child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein Thursday morning. It turned out that what had been delivered to her was information that had previously been leaked and released—flight logs and other information that didn’t contain anything new. After the “phase 1” release through conservative voices in the alternative media, Bondi, following a tip by a whistleblower in New York, directed FBI Director Kash Patel to deliver files alle...

PRESIDENT TRUMP and his administration riled up Europe this week by dragging reality into the chatroom. Trump talked by phone with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin about ending the war in Ukraine, and Vance criticized foolish policies that admitted tens of millions of migrants into Europe who have no interest in assimilating into their host countries. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said the quiet part out loud, telling Ukraine that the war will not end with a return to the pre-2014 borders; in other words, Russia is going to keep Crimea and the Donbas. At the sa...
