P.I.D. Radio 12/9/23: Propaganda from Eden to Armageddon

Derek — Sat, 09 Dec 2023 17:49:57 +0000

PROPAGANDA BEGAN in the Garden of Eden. It’s no surprise that humans have adopted this tactic for spreading the doctrines of demons.

Independent journalists Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi, and others report that whistleblowers have shared documents showing that as far back as 2017, defense and intelligence veterans along with data scientists began working on programs to counter mis-, dis-, and malinformation online that “appear to have been absorbed into multiple official projects, including those of the Department of Homeland Security.” This forms what Shellenberg and Taibbi have dubbed the Censorship-Industrial Complex.

This “anti-disinformation” group, called the Cyber Threat Information League, is behind a quasi-governmental effort to get around First Amendment protections of free speech, targeting and eliminating not just wrong facts, but “disfavored narratives.” According to one whistleblower, this included a directive from the outgoing Obama administration in 2017 to “stop a ‘repeat of 2016’”—the election of Donald Trump.

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 12/12/15: Open Source A.I.

Derek — Sat, 12 Dec 2015 19:46:29 +0000

TECH VISIONARIES Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman are among a group that’s announced a new non-profit artificial intelligence startup. The goal, apparently, is to make sure the first true AI is “good”, and its backers say they’ve committed $1 billion to the project.

This is an interesting development, considering that Musk previously compared building an artificial intelligence to “summoning the demon.”

Also: Prophecies of a Muslim caliphate and the return of Messiah by mystics Baba Vanga and the Vilna Gaon; bulk purchases of prepaid cell phones and stolen propane tanks have Missouri on edge; tangled alliances in the Middle East; and Israel trains against the anti-aircraft missile system Russia sold to Iran.

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.

P.I.D. Radio 11/22/14: Darkness

Derek — Sat, 22 Nov 2014 23:30:11 +0000

FIFTY-ONE YEARS ago today, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. What is not known to this day is exactly who killed the president and why. What is fairly certain is that the official conclusion of the Warren Commission is false, which begs the question: Who found it necessary to fabricate a lie?

That event ushered in a new era of dissatisfaction and unrest that continues to this day. Maybe the scales fell from our eyes that day in Dallas, making us aware of the darkness that has been with us all along.

Elsewhere: Pedophile rings in the UK coming to late decades after the fact; a string of apparently unconnected animal mutilations goes back decades; President Obama writes his own law again; and a plasma physicist believes an ancient Martian civilization was wiped out by nuclear blasts.

Here is a link to the Vice documentary on the Hosanna Church case we mentioned in our discussion of the HBO series True Detective.

Please join us Sunday mornings at 10:30 AM Central Time (GMT -5) for the Gilbert House Fellowship at www.GilbertHouse.org, a virtual gathering to study the scriptures in chronological order. And check out the website for our forthcoming book on transhumanism, Rise of the Cybergods.

P.I.D. Radio 11/8/14: Balkanizing the Nation

Derek — Sun, 09 Nov 2014 00:04:33 +0000

THE AMERICAN public voted this week and swept the Republican Party to its largest majority in Congress since World War II. Exit polls showed that Democrats lost big with white voters this time around, which indicates that the country is beginning to divide politically along racial lines. This, of course, plays into the hands of the elites who will gladly keep up fighting one another so we don’t pay attention to the people behind the curtain.

But the big story this week was the suicide of Brittany Maynard, a 29-year-old woman suffering from terminal brain cancer. Her death was facilitated by the assisted suicide law in Oregon and used by activists to promote their goals of legalizing death as a prescription for perceived suffering, and getting the government to assist.

Also: Ferguson, Missouri prepares for more rioting; torture death of 3-year-old in Pennsylvania; cannibal killer in Wales; mysterious incest ring death investigated in Alabama; and Ebola statistics don’t add up.

Derek and Sharon will be a virtual part of the Prophecy Forum conference in Dublin, Ohio on Saturday, November 15th. They will participate in a round table discussion of transhumanism at 3:00 PM Central (UTC -6). It will be streamed live to the Internet. Click here for information and to register.

P.I.D. Radio 6/15/14: ISIS Rising

Derek — Sun, 15 Jun 2014 22:37:40 +0000

AN UGLY scenario is playing out in Iraq. An al-Qaeda linked group, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), has essentially invaded Iraq from Syria and is on the verge of launching a battle for Baghdad. News reports from the region depict ISIS as a brutal terror organization, leaving a trail of beheaded bodies in its wake.

But until recently, we in the West were sending these guys money and weapons to help them fight against the government of Bashar al-Assad in Syria. What in the world is going on over there?

Also: Turkey shuts off the Euphrates River; child immigrant crisis along America’s southern border; Ebola and chikungunya spreading; and meet the exorcists next door.

Derek and Sharon Gilbert will be at the Prophecy in the News Pikes Peak Prophecy Summit July 25-27, 2014 at the Marriott Hotel in Colorado Springs. Watch for information here.

P.I.D. Radio 12/21/13: Holidays in the Bunker

Derek — Sat, 21 Dec 2013 21:44:43 +0000

WE’RE BACK after six weeks away, just in time to wish everyone a happy holiday season.

Yes, we know Jesus was probably born in the fall. Reflect on the fact that He was born, died, and rose again, and — unlike the false gods worshiped by other Ancient Near Eastern cultures, such as Osiris, Baal, or Dionysus — He is not dead, but lives!

Meanwhile, as the world fixates on Phil Robertson, we discuss the growing “holographic universe” meme, Google’s robot army and back-channel foreign policy, the US plan to put the Vatican in charge of East Jerusalem, H1N1 deaths in Texas, and the death of the woman who released Barack Obama’s (bogus) birth certificate.

Here’s the link to Derek’s interview with Jeff Sharlet, author of The Family.

P.I.D. Radio 10/20/13: The (Radioactive) Shadow of Arafat

Derek — Mon, 21 Oct 2013 00:22:11 +0000

HE JUST won’t go away. Those of us old enough to remember Yasser Arafat are probably somewhat surprised that the former leader of the Palestinian Authority, who died in 2004, is back in the news. The British medical journal Lancet published an article last week that supports a claim by Al Jazeera that Arafat may have been poisoned with the highly toxic radioactive isotope polonium-210.

But wait — not so fast! It appears that the Lancet article doesn’t quite say what Al Jazeera said it said. Also, counter-terrorism experts were saying a year ago that researchers couldn’t have found enough 210Po to prove their case because it has a half-life of about 138 days — so any polonium that was found must have been planted.

This story isn’t over yet.

Also: Hollywood’s portrayal of God; Dr. I.D.E. Thomas and William H. Kennedy pass away; Diane Reidy’s rant on the House floor (see Natalina’s article here); Turkey makes inroads into USA through relationships with Native American tribes; the Brown Scapular of Saint Simon Stock; and Sam T. Dachshund speaks.

P.I.D. Radio 10/12/13: Consecrated to an Apparition

Derek — Sat, 12 Oct 2013 20:57:02 +0000

POPE FRANCIS will consecrate the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary tomorrow, October 13. A statue of Our Lady of Fatima, normally kept at the Chapel of Apparitions in Fatima, Portugal, is en route to Rome for the ceremony, which takes place on the 96th anniversary of the so-called Miracle of the Sun.

Interestingly, the Pope has already consecrated his pontificate to Our Lady of Fatima, in a ceremony following mass on May 13 of this year, the 96th anniversary of the first apparition at Fatima.

We don’t doubt people saw something at Fatima, but it wasn’t Mary.

P.I.D. Radio 8/19/13: The NSA Strikes Back

Derek — Tue, 20 Aug 2013 00:22:26 +0000

THE PARTNER of Guardian reporter Glenn Greenwald was detained at Heathrow Airport in London for nine hours Sunday under the UK’s Terrorism Act. Encrypted files from whistleblower Edward Snowden, on a portable computer drive intended for Greenwald, were among items confiscated from David Miranda. Comes word this afternoon that the White House had advance knowledge of Miranda’s detention — although, a spokesman said, “it’s not something we requested.”

Meanwhile, we learn that Snowden began downloading NSA files a year earlier than previously reported, while he was an employee of computer maker Dell Inc. Also, the NSA awards North Carolina State a record grant to study data analysis; Verizon invited to participate in a $10 billion contract to provide cloud services to the government; and scientists call for papers on how to build a golem.

P.I.D. Radio 8/14/13: Trash Bins Are Stalking You

Derek — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 23:29:21 +0000

IN JUST the most recent example of how insecure our digital privacy is, we hear that the city of London has ordered an advertising company to quit using its wifi-enabled trash bins to track the serial numbers of passing smart phones.

Renew, the company that makes the LCD-equipped bins, claims that they weren’t able to see information likes names, addresses, or passwords. However, the proof of concept demonstrates that the technology exists for other organizations — or government agencies — to do it.

Also: NSA to fire 90% of its sysadmins; the rise of Google; violence in Egypt; “angel priest” comes forward; and the Sun is about to flip.

If you’re in the North Central U.S., please consider attending the Minneapolis Underground Summit with Russ Dizdar, Doug Woodward (Derek’s guest this weekend on A View From the Bunker), and Rob Skiba September 27th and 28th at the Hotel Sofitel, Minneapolis.

P.I.D. Radio 7/8/13: Virtually Real

Derek — Mon, 08 Jul 2013 23:58:18 +0000

Eternity in Second Life: A poor substitute for the New Jerusalem

A COUPLE in Philadelphia recently gave birth to a baby from an embryo selected through a cutting-edge procedure called “next-generation sequencing”. This technology was developed to read whole genomes cheaply and quickly. Are we on the verge of a generation of designer babies?

Also: PID Radio begins a Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule; Global Future 2045 and your future as an avatar; Morsi’s fall tied to Muslim (Sunni vs. Shia) civil war; and Oprah Winfrey to appear at T.D. Jakes’ MegaFest 2013 (see this article at the Christian Apologetics Research Ministry on Jakes’ doctrinal position on the Trinity).

P.I.D. Radio 3/4/13: Sinkholes and Locusts

Derek — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 00:15:37 +0000

LAST WEEK had plenty to chew on for people who like a good dose of impending doom: As we prepare for the election of Pope Benedict’s successor, a 20-foot sinkhole swallowed a Florida man while he lay in bed, and a swarm of more than 30 million locusts ate its way across Egypt — interestingly, just three weeks before the start of Passover.

Also: Cardinal Bertone bugs the Vatican; DHS buys light-duty tanks and dozens of drones; Stuxnet beta’s devious attack on Iran; and we briefly discuss the work of Sue Bradley (article archive here).

Sharon and Derek are presenters at the upcoming Chicago Summit #3, with Russ Dizdar, L.A. Marzulli, Doug Woodward, Rob Skiba, Doug Hamp, and Tom Dunn of the Josiah Project. Details online here.

We will also be at the Pikes Peak Prophecy Summit July 26-28, 2013 with Gary Stearman, Tom Horn, Chuck Missler, L.A. Marzulli, Joseph Farah, Dr. Stan Monteith, Cris Putnam, and many more. Get information here.

P.I.D. Radio 2/4/13: Looking to 2030

Derek — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 01:36:02 +0000

AS WE enter month #2 of 2013, we discuss a new intelligence analysis that looks ahead to the year 2030. It’s an interesting read — but from our perspective, mainly useful to know what the National Intelligence Council wants us to think about the future.

Also: Hostage situation in Alabama resolved; parallels between ancient Rome and the modern USA; world population may be on the verge of declining; and defending the faith with gentleness and respect.
