P.I.D. Radio 4/20/24: “They Wouldn’t Just Eat Any White Men That Fell From the Sky”

Derek — Sat, 20 Apr 2024 15:48:29 +0000

THOSE IMMORTAL WORDS were spoken by Michael Kabuni, a political science lecturer at the University of Papua New Guinea, responding to a false claim by President Biden that his uncle had been eaten by cannibals after being shot down in WWII.

Biden told the story twice Wednesday, in Scranton and then again in Pittsburgh. As it happens, his uncle, Ambrose J. Finnegan, was not a pilot and hadn’t been shot down; the plane on which he was flying lost power in both engines and ditched in the ocean with only the flight engineer surviving the crash.

Needless to say, the people of Papua New Guinea are not thrilled about being characterized as cannibals.

We also discuss the tense situation in the Middle East. Since last week’s program, Iran hit Israel with a wave of drones and cruise missiles, nearly all of which were intercepted. There was only one reported casualty, a 7-year-old Bedouin girl. In response, Israel on Friday reportedly destroyed the radar unit that protects Iran’s Natanz nuclear plant.

Then, Friday night, somebody struck a base south of Baghdad used by Iran-backed Shia militias. Israel and the US have denied responsibility, but the Shias in Iraq blame Israel nonetheless. We discuss who may have attacked the Shias there and why.

Also: Bluetooth LE has created a mesh network independent of the Internet, ready for AI to transform into the real-world equivalent of Skynet, and car wash turns Tesla Cybertruck into a Cyberbrick.

Here’s the link to the video for “Watchers,” the new song by the Caspar McCloud Band, featuring the Gilberts, Pastor Paul Begley, and Col. David Giammona.

P.I.D. Radio 4/13/24: UFOs, Red Heifers, and Tucker Carlson

Derek — Sat, 13 Apr 2024 16:13:26 +0000

THE MOOD IN ISRAEL is tense this weekend, as intelligence sources say Iran is preparing an imminent attack to retaliate for the recent airstrike against Iran’s embassy in Damascus.

Against this backdrop are Internet rumors about plans to sacrifice a red heifer to prepare for construction of the Third Temple. Some say it will happen on April 22, 2024.

Unless Israel National News was wrong about the ages of the five red heifers delivered to Shiloh last July when we discussed it on this podcast (or unless someone was lying), the earliest one of them could be slaughtered, according to rabbinic tradition, is this coming September.

Meanwhile, Iran seized a container ship owned by an Israeli in the Strait of Hormuz. This suggests that Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates have been working with Israel to bypass Yemen’s blockade of the Red Sea on the other side of Arabia.

We also discuss the recent fascination with UFOs and “aliens.” Christians should be prepared to discuss the inhuman entities that have been visiting the planet for thousands of years. They’re not extraterrestrial, they’re extradimensionsal. We call them angels.

Finally, we address Tucker Carlson’s misinformed and antisemitic interview with Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac this week. Carlson has never been a friend of Israel, but he made his bias clear by giving a platform to an Arab pastor from Bethlehem who places more importance on his ethnicity than his Savior.

Also: Keeping an eye on HPAI, Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, which is now reported in seven US dairy herds.

P.I.D. Radio 3/23/24: Terror in Moscow

Derek — Sat, 23 Mar 2024 17:36:50 +0000

A TERROR ATTACK at a rock concert in Moscow has left more than 140 people dead as of this recording. A branch of the Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the deaths. The question is what happens next?

It’s been reported that the terrorists were arrested as they tried to escape into Ukraine. The government in Kyiv has denied any connection to the attack, but will Putin use this to justify escalating the conflict?

What is ISIS-K, the Islamic State-Khorasan, and why did it attack Russia? The group, named after an old term for the region that included parts of Iran, Turkmenistan and Afghanistan, emerged in eastern Afghanistan in late 2014 with a reputation for extreme violence. It has been at war with the Taliban in Afghanistan, but has reportedly developed the ability to conduct operations in Europe and Asia.

ISIS generally hates everyone who is not on board with its agenda of remaking the world according to its interpretation of the Quran, which is more or less the way it was practiced in the 7th century under Muhammad and his immediate successors. As Raymond Ibrahim reported earlier this month, ISIS issued a statement in January calling for beheading and burning every Western civilian, including Muslims who reject the Islamic State’s violent jihad.

ISIS even declared that Muslims must not support Hamas or the Palestinian Authority because their struggle is not for Shar’iah, but “for national legitimacy, and the kufr covenants of the United Nations.”

We also speculate on territorial spirits who may be involved in this event. We know from the Book of Daniel that there is a prince of Greece—we think it’s Zeus/Satan—and a prince of Persia. Is there a prince of Russia, and if so, who is it, and how does that help us understand yesterday’s terror attack in Moscow?

And we answer one of your questions submitted through our app: Who is Lilith?

P.I.D. Radio 11/18/23: The Gods of War

Derek — Sat, 18 Nov 2023 16:36:07 +0000

PAUL WROTE that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood.” So, since our struggle in this life is against supernatural evil, which spirits are behind the Israel-Hamas war?

That was a question posed to us by a young man in India named Eric. That’s a good question, although the answer is necessarily speculative. As Paul also wrote, we see into the spirit realm as though we’re looking into a mirror in a darkened room (“through a glass, darkly”, 1 Cor. 13:12).

That said, we think the conflict serves the ends of Satan, who Jesus described as having a kingdom (Matt. 12:22–26); Inanna, who we believe is the woman riding the Beast (the Antichrist) in Revelation 17 and 18, who’s called Astarte (Ashtoreth) in the Bible; and Shemihazah, the leader of the rebellious Genesis 6 “sons of God” called by various names throughout history including El, Enlil, Dagan/Dagon, Kronos, Saturn, and Molech. We believe Shemihazah is the entity worshiped by Muslims as Allah.

Also: The shifting media narrative on Israel, and a warning that Türkiye may intervene in Gaza.

Here is the link to the interview we did with the late David Flynn in 2006 on the connections between ancient Babylon and Washington, D.C.

P.I.D. Radio 10/14/23: The Dagon War

Derek — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 16:30:01 +0000

THE WAR between Israel and Hamas is, at its core, spiritual.

We call this program P.I.D. Radio because we see our mission as Peering Into Darkness so we are not ignorant of the enemy’s designs. That enemy, as Paul wrote to the church at Ephesus, is not human, but supernatural, intelligent evil—principalities, powers, thrones, dominions, archons, and “cosmic rulers over this present darkness.”

The city god of Gaza in the time of Jesus was called Marna (or Marnas), identified by scholar Edward Lipiński as Dagon, chief god of the Philistines as far back as the time of the Judges in Israel. Dagon, or Dagan, was the chief deity of the Amorites along the Euphrates River dating back to the mid-3rd millennium BC, and under the names Enlil, Assur, Kumarbi, Milcom (Molech), Baal-Hammon, Kronos, and Saturn, was believed by pagans to be the father of the gods from the beginning of recorded history well into the Christian era.

As Derek wrote in The Second Coming of Saturn, we believe this entity was the leader of the rebellious sons of God in Genesis 6, named Shemihazah in the Book of 1 Enoch. He is the angel of the bottomless pit—the Destroyer, Abaddon/Apollyon.

That being the case, the horrors of the last seven days should make more sense.

P.I.D. Radio 8/19/23: First Amendment and Free Will

Derek — Sat, 19 Aug 2023 16:02:49 +0000

Marion County Record Wednesday, Aug. 16, 2023.

MARION, KANSAS finds itself making national headlines this week after local police raided the offices of the Marion County Record, which was investigating the town’s new police chief.

The town of 1,900 about 150 miles southwest of Kansas City is now at the center of a debate over press freedom. Some in the community believe the paper has been too aggressive and “inappropriately negative” in its coverage of local politics. The editor and publisher says the paper is just fulfilling its job as a watchdog, protecting the public’s interests.

This story is set against a backdrop of rising opposition to free speech in the United States. While a majority of the public claims to support the First Amendment to the Constitution, which guarantees freedom of speech (and the press), a growing number of mainly younger people want to exclude “hate speech” from those protections. But without protection for speech that’s potentially offensive, there is no freedom of speech.

That said, we note that just because you can say something doesn’t mean you should.

Also: Biden green-lights F-16s for Ukraine while US intelligence sources admit that the Ukrainian counteroffensive has failed; US military wants Minority Report style prediction capability; euthanasia in Canada becoming mainstream; artificial DNA touted as cancer cure; and new Netflix animated film Monkey King that brings Buddhist mythology to American children.

P.I.D. Radio 6/17/23: Synthetic Human Embryos and Fake UFO Disclosure

Derek — Sat, 17 Jun 2023 16:22:22 +0000

SCIENTISTS AT Cambridge and Cal Tech announced this week that they’ve created synthetic human embryos without the use of eggs or sperm. They say this could help research into genetic disorders; we wonder if there’s another agenda.

We also discuss the recent media attention to a purported UFO/UAP whistleblower, David Grusch. We note the lack of hard evidence behind his claims, which appear to be based on hearsay. You should look into the investigative reporting by Steven Greenstreet of the New York Post, who revealed that the “secret Pentagon program” to investigate UFOs, AATIP, never existed (link opens YouTube video). In other words, this is another intelligence op, just like every major UFO flap going back to Roswell in 1947.

Also: Space Force confused about its mission (but NORAD will still track Santa); Blackstone buys Ancestry but promises not to do anything with all that DNA data (yeah, right); and Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers, passes at 92.

P.I.D. Radio 5/20/23: Bilderbergers With Cheese

Derek — Sat, 20 May 2023 17:32:21 +0000

THE MEN AND WOMEN who would rule the world have been meeting in Lisbon the last few days. It’s the annual meeting of the Bilderberg Group, a collection of globalist technocrats, bankers, politicians, and thought leaders who gather each year to decide how we should live.

Are the Bilderbergers really that powerful? Probably not. Yes, they constitute a cross-section of the wealthy and well-connected, but we think they’re a red herring. As Paul wrote, “We wrestle not against flesh and blood”—in other words, our real opponents are not human.

That said, it’s still interesting to note that two-time unsuccessful candidate for Georgia governor Stacey Abrams was invited to this year’s meeting.

We also discuss the Biden administration’s decision to allow other nations to give F-16s to Ukraine. If this is a convoluted legal way of denying direct responsibility for dead Russian pilots, we don’t think Vladimir Putin will be impressed. As Sharon said in 2020, it may be that Joe Biden’s role as president is to usher the U.S. into World War 3.

Also: Assad returns to Arab League; James Corden’s Neolithic dolmen; dancing with the dead; and Summanos, the Etruscan god of nighttime lightning.

P.I.D. Radio 5/13/23: Financial Armageddon!

Derek — Sat, 13 May 2023 16:59:41 +0000

THE U.S. GOVERNMENT is facing a disaster of Biblical proportions if it doesn’t raise the debt ceiling by June 1! At least, that’s how the media spins it.

The fact is the government’s debt level is unsustainable, closer to $80 trillion than the official number of $31 trillion. Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is trying to use the debt ceiling showdown to pressure Democrats into cutting back on spending. We’ll see who blinks.

We also discuss the situation at the southern border as Title 42 restrictions on admitting migrants expire. The real story here is the human trafficking, especially of children, that’s been facilitated by the Biden administration.

A whistleblower named Tara Lee Rodas told a House subcommittee two weeks ago that the government is delivering migrant children to traffickers. According to The New York Times, the Department of Health and Human Services has lost track of some 85,000 children brought into the country and delivered to “sponsors” since Joe Biden took office in 2021. That’s about a quarter of the total number of unaccompanied minors who have entered the country over the last two years.

You can watch Ms. Rodas’ testimony here.

We also discuss the ancient kingdom of Assyria and its connection to Babylon, a name that was used for many cities in ancient Mesopotamia—including the Assyrian capital, Nineveh.

P.I.D. Radio 3/11/23: Fractured World

Derek — Sat, 11 Mar 2023 17:59:23 +0000

ONE OF THE LARGEST banks in America went belly-up Friday. Silicon Valley Bank, with nearly $190 billion in deposits, was seized by federal regulators, leading to questions about how far this financial contagion will spread.

We also discuss the global split between the West and the rest of the world, led by the BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—with Saudi Arabia clearly moving out of the US orbit.

China has brokered a rapprochement between the Saudis and Iran, a move that has serious implications for the role of the US Dollar as the world’s de facto reserve currency. Coupled with what may be a looming economic meltdown heralded by the collapse of SVB, we could be looking at the first step toward the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency put forward as a way to stabilize the global economy.

The question is how an increasingly divided world comes together to form the infrastructure of a future global government.

P.I.D. Radio 2/11/23: Faces of the Old Gods

Derek — Sat, 11 Feb 2023 17:55:10 +0000

2023 Brit Award (click to enlarge)

DISTURBING IMAGERY is all around us, but the Christian church in the West is so desupernaturalized that we don’t recognize what’s right in front of our eyes.

From last Sunday’s Grammy Awards to the statue honoring the late Justice Ruth Bader to Travis Scott’s deadly 2021 Astroworld Festival concert to any number of Super Bowl halftime shows, pagan iconography is increasingly in our faces, produced and presented as “art.”

Ophidian (reptilian) figurines from Mesopotamia c. 6500–3700 BC (click to enlarge)

We discuss the entity honored by last Sunday’s performance of “Unholy” by a non-binary/transgender duo and the disturbing statues that will be handed out at this weekend’s Brit Awards—a three-faced image that reminds us of the reptilian figurines from ancient Eridu, the site of the Tower of Babel.

Also: Solar activity linked to the massive earthquake in Turkey and Syria; China’s spy balloon and the new “object” shot down over Alaska; Seymour Hersh reveals how the Biden administration bombed the Nord Stream gas pipelines; and Saudi Arabia declares end to petrodollar.

THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM meets this week in Davos, Switzerland, a gathering of world leaders in politics, banking, technology, business, pharmaceuticals—well, everything—who will tell the rest of us how we’re supposed to live.

We discuss the Great Reset (or Re:Set, for you fans of the old Egyptian gods) and its parallels to the ancient kingdom of Nimrod, especially the desire to summon (and become like) the gods who walked the earth before the Flood.

Here’s the link to the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2023 (opens PDF document). In a nutshell, climate, climate, climate, migration, and climate.

P.I.D. Radio 12/10/22: Killers from (Inner) Space

Derek — Sat, 10 Dec 2022 18:44:32 +0000

TERRITORIAL SPIRITS have influenced human politics for millennia. The princes of Persia and Greece are explicitly mentioned in theBook of Daniel, but it was understood in the ancient Near East that every city-state or tribal territory had its patron god.

This week, we discuss the work of these entities and how their struggle to overthrow God is reflected in scripture and in the headlines of the day. And sometimes even in cheesy movies, which (probably without intending to) present stories similar to the ultimate goal of the Fallen—world domination.

P.I.D. Radio 9/6/15: Freedom from Religion or Secular Sharia?

Derek — Sun, 06 Sep 2015 22:23:40 +0000

Kim Davis

WE TEND not to be alarmists when it comes to Christian persecution. We’ve had a pretty good run in the United States over the last couple centuries.

But things have shifted in recent years and it’s getting ugly. Think what you will of Kim Davis (the Clerk of Rowan County, Kentucky, who has refused to comply with the Supreme Court’s ruling on same-sex marriage and issue marriage permits to gay couples), some of the criticism she’s received is chilling–for example, equating her actions with sharia law.

Lest we forget, the Islamic State marked the Supreme Court’s ruling by throwing four gay men off a rooftop and tweeted the pictures under the hashtag #lovewins. THAT is what sharia looks like. And frankly, some supporters of same-sex marriage are getting close to advocating sharia-type penalties for people who don’t share their worldview.

Also: Blood Rave in Amsterdam; Cicada 3301; remembering Operation Blackjack; the “gospel” chorus that sang for Hillary; and living forever as a virtual social media profile.
