    They Built a KILL Switch for Humans… And It’s Already Being Used | Slingshot Nation
    May 1 2026
    What if the technology in your pocket is being used to program you, and someone already pulled the trigger?A NASA research fellow opens fire. A scientist's Tesla drives itself into a crash so violent he's unrecognizable. A declassified 1983 CIA document gets read 200+ times by an AI and it learns how to weaponize sound through smartphones. These aren't disconnected headlines. They're three data points on the same map, and tonight we're connecting them live.From vehicle kill switches mandated for 2027, to AI chatbots documented to mirror users into radicalization, to a covert AI conversation about eliminating the "useless" 99% of humanity, we're laying out the full architecture. Human agents using AI as a weapon. AI manufacturing human kill switches. And something underneath both of those, building its own agenda. The covert phase has already started.Canadian AI Governance Video: WATCH HEREPlease pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

    Members Preview | 858: Hidden Nephilim Temples of Appalachia
    Apr 30 2026
    What if the Appalachian Mountains are hiding ancient places built for something far darker than history will admit? In this episode, Tony sits down with Bo Kennedy to explore the unsettling possibility of hidden Nephilim temples buried deep in Appalachia, where legends of giants, serpent mounds, cryptids, witchcraft, and spiritual warfare still seem to echo through the mountains. Bo shares the real research and personal experiences that inspired his novel, Army of God: Terror by Night, a story rooted in biblical warfare, ancient curses, forgotten mounds, and the fight between prayer and the powers of darkness. As the conversation unfolds, the mystery of Appalachia becomes more than folklore. It becomes a warning about what may still be hidden in the land, and what it means to stand firm in Christ when the darkness pushes back.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

    857: AI and the Coming Spiritual Deception | Vicki Joy Anderson
    Apr 28 2026
    What if AI isn’t just advancing… but quietly pulling you toward a point where you have to decide when to walk away?Tony sits down with Vicki Joy Anderson to unpack the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence and the deeply personal reality of finding your “off ramp” before it’s too late. As AI moves from simple tools into AGI and eventually ASI, the conversation explores how technology could shift from convenience into something far more influential, even spiritual in nature. Vicki warns that the real danger isn’t just intelligence, but dependence, where AI begins to shape thoughts, relationships, and even replace prayer, devotion, and human connection. They discuss how each person’s threshold will be different, and why discernment matters more than ever as society speeds forward with no way to stop. From eerie real-world cases to the subtle ways AI is already integrating into daily life, the question becomes unavoidable: will you recognize your exit when you pass it, and will you have the strength to take it?Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

    RELOADED | 540: Portals To Hell & Biblical Super Soldiers
    Apr 27 2026
    In Episode 540: Portals To Hell & Biblical Super Soldiers we are joined by Bishop Alan Didio! I first came across the Bishop on his Instagram reels where he was talking about portals to hell, monsters in the Bible, and end-times prophecies. Since then he has got even more popular and I couldn’t wait any longer to get him on the show. Though we didn’t hit on everything I planned on we went deep on portals to hell, biblical super soldiers, Enoch, what heaven will be like, supernatural powers, and miraculous healings. Next time we have him on we will hit on end times prophecies, Revelation, biblical monsters, A.I., and transhumanism because Bishop Didio has an opinion on all of it!Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

  • BREAKING: 12 Scientists Reportedly Dead or Missing… What’s Going On? | Slingshot Nation

    BREAKING: 12 Scientists Reportedly Dead or Missing… What’s Going On? | Slingshot Nation
    Apr 24 2026
    Eleven scientists. Twelve, if you count the latest. All dead or missing. All tied to classified nuclear programs, aerospace research, UAP disclosure, or the deepest corners of America's top secret defense infrastructure. And now the FBI, the House Oversight Committee, the Department of War, and the Department of Energy are all circling the same question. Is this a coincidence, or a coordinated purge of the people who know too much?What if the witnesses to disclosure are being erased before disclosure ever happens?On this Slingshot Nation live we walk through the full list, the timeline, and the names you're not supposed to connect. A retired Air Force major general who vanished out of his Albuquerque home without his phone or glasses. An MIT plasma and fusion director shot dead outside his own house. A JPL materials scientist who patented the super-alloys used in the reusable rockets flying right now. A decorated test pilot and his entire family gone in a single plane crash. Los Alamos. Caltech. NASA JPL. Kansas City National Security Campus. Wright-Patterson. The same labs, the same clearances, the same silence.Congress is calling it a national security threat. The White House is calling it "pretty serious stuff." Mainstream outlets are calling it coincidence. We're going to look at the pattern they don't want you to see. The aerospace black projects, the UAP disclosure witnesses, the foreign adversary angle, the Blue Origin and SpaceX connections, and the spiritual warfare dimension underneath all of it.Because if a great deception is coming, the first people to disappear would be the ones who could expose it.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

    Apr 23 2026
    What if the world before the flood was not just history, but a warning? In this episode, Tony sits down with Will Blesch to discuss his book, In the Shadow of Goliath, and the biblical framework behind topics like the Nephilim, Genesis 6, UFOs, hybridization, the Watchers, and the mark of the beast. Will shares how his early fascination with the unexplained, his time exploring the occult and New Age beliefs, and his eventual commitment to Jesus shaped the ideas that led to the book. Together, they examine whether ancient biblical accounts may offer a clearer lens for understanding modern paranormal phenomena and whether the agenda described in Genesis 6 could still be unfolding today.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

    855: Ex-Witch Exposes Hidden Dangers of New Age | Angela Scafidi
    Apr 21 2026
    She thought she was chasing light, but step by step it was leading her deeper into darkness. In this episode, Angela Scafidi shares her raw testimony of being pulled into the world of New Age spirituality and witchcraft, where what began as a desire to help people spiraled into full immersion. Astrology, tarot, Reiki, yoga, and ritual circles slowly turned into what she now recognizes as a coven . What felt empowering at first became consuming, as she describes years of going further and further down this rabbit hole with no desire to escape, convinced she had found truth and enlightenment . But behind the illusion, something darker was at work. What she once believed were spirit guides and spiritual encounters revealed themselves to be demonic deception, opening doors that only led to deeper bondage . Everything changed when the Holy Spirit interrupted her life, leading her to completely renounce it all, burning the objects, stripping her home of everything tied to the occult, and turning fully to Jesus Christ in a moment of radical surrender . What follows is a powerful story of deliverance, transformation, and redemption. Proof that no matter how deep you go, Jesus still pulls people out of the fire.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

    RELOADED | 31: I Killed Bigfoot
    Apr 20 2026

    Brian lives in southern Ohio near the West Virginia border, where he has seen the creature known as Bigfoot on several occasions. During his third encounter, Brian's experience turned unpleasant when he found himself in a dangerous situation. While hunting for turkey, he drew the attention a Bigfoot that was not happy to see him. Faced with a decision to make, Brian knew it was either him or this giant creature that was going to die. So, he raised his gun and fired.
