  • Weird, Not Based In Reality

    Uneducated, struggles to articulate thoughts clearly, and weird sci-fi religious themes. This is so dumb it's silly.

    Tony, crew & guest did an excellent job explaining that the enemy of our souls works 24/7 to destroy us with weapons.

    “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.”

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

907: The Hidden Hierarchy of Darkness That Most Christians Never Learn About
Q: Do you feel like there are geographical locations that are such a stronghold on earth that the veil is that thin, where there is an exchange back and forth?
Pagani and Price Jr. agree that some locations may be especially associated with spiritual activity, pointing to accounts from the Solomon Islands and biblical places such as Gadara, Mount Hermon, and Caesarea Philippi.
907: The Hidden Hierarchy of Darkness That Most Christians Never Learn About
Q: Was there a moment when you started seeing things differently and identifying what was happening, and did you struggle with whether it was really happening?
Pagani describes moving from preaching against deliverance to seeking it for his own anger and finding freedom. Price Jr. says his interest grew from studying biblical accounts and wanting to equip Christians with a deeper understanding of spiritual warfare.
RELOADED | 472: Peru's Megalithic Cave of Mystery
Q: Do you think that the Nephilim had access to this technology through sorcery?
Olson says the forbidden knowledge described in the Book of Enoch may have been the source of ancient technology, and argues that such technology was held by an elite ruling class rather than an entire civilization.
RELOADED | 472: Peru's Megalithic Cave of Mystery
Q: What is your why as to why you think they would have any motivation to cover up history?
Olson argues that mainstream archaeology and anthropology exclude evidence that conflicts with accepted accounts of human history. He also cites the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act as a reason, in his view, that elongated skulls and other remains are not publicly displayed.

Tabitha recounts her father's memory of an excavation that uncovered a large man's skeleton, which he estimated was at least eight feet tall, and connects the account to local giant traditions.
