A View from the Bunker

Dark forces in the fallen realm wear multiple faces that look nothing alike. 

Dr. Gregory Reid (gregoryreid.com) joins us to discuss the multi-pronged attack on the faithful remnant. We touch on the impact of the new Steven Spielberg film, Disclosure Day, the alluring deception of artificial intelligence, and disturbing ways children at risk are being used to summon spirits from the unseen realm.

This is an important discussion. Please take the time to watch or listen.

THE PHRASE “money to burn” takes on a whole new meaning in light of this week’s discussion. Patrick M. Wood has been analyzing the political and financial schemes of the global elites for more than 30 years, and he believes that the hype around global warming is intended to prepare the world for a new one-world currency: carbon.

Think about that. Every month, we’d all get an allocation of carbon credits that we could use for food, fuel, or anything else. And whatever we didn’t use would disappear at the end of the month, like unused cell phone minutes that don’t roll over.

This isn’t a new concept. Please read Patrick’s report “Carbon Currency: A New Beginning for Technocracy”, and visit his site Technocracy.news for news about the encroachment of technology into our lives.

Zombies can teach us something about ourselves. 

In recent years, zombie movies have transitioned from mere horror flicks to a profound commentary on humanity, morality, and the essence of civilization. With the rise of popular series like “The Walking Dead,” audiences have been challenged to reflect on deeper themes that resonate beyond the screen. 

Joining us to discuss zombies and their relevance to us as Christians, we assemble our regular Iron and Myth panel: Doug Van Dorn (DouglasVanDorn.com), author of Battle for the Bible’s Truth: Genesis, Jesus, and the Second Century Plot to Deny the Messiah; Brian Godawa (Godawa.com), best-selling author of Daniel: Exile in Babylon, the first novel in a trilogy about the life of Daniel; and Dr. Judd Burton (BurtonBeyond.net), Director of the institute of biblical anthropology and author of Interview With the Giant. 

Zombie movies have undergone a remarkable transformation since George Romero’s groundbreaking film, “Night of the Living Dead.” Initially, these movies were simple horror stories centered around gore and survival. However, as society has changed, so have the narratives surrounding zombies. Today, they often reflect contemporary societal fears, such as viral outbreaks and the erosion of humanity. This evolution compels viewers to confront their own values and behaviors in dire situations. 

Stories centered on zombies transcend the boundaries of horror; they serve as a profound cultural, moral, and spiritual reflection. These films compel us to consider our core values, the fabric of our communities, and the essence of our humanity. By embracing the lessons imparted within these narratives, we can cultivate a deeper sense of empathy and comprehension in our own lives.  

Put simply, how far would we go to save those we love—remembering the words of Jesus, “Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.”

IT’S RARE that new information emerges in UFO research, but we’re honored this week to feature a man who’s managed to disclose the existence of a group that’s remained under the radar of ufologists for over 60 years. 

Researcher and author Nick Redfern discusses his new book Final Events and the Secret Government Group on Demonic UFOs and the Afterlife, in which he describes a secret group inside the U.S. intelligence community called the Collins Elite. 

Formed in the wake of the 1947 Roswell crash, the Collins Elite came to believe that UFOs are the product of fallen angels who want to harvest human souls, and that radical action — imposition of an Old Testament form of morals and dogma on a planetary scale — is needed to save humanity from a hellish end. 

Final Events is a must-read for anyone who sees through the thin scientific veneer of the UFO phenomenon. The Collins Elite, if Redfern’s sources were telling the truth, are not Christians. Christ never called his followers to literally conquer the world and make disciples by force, which logic tells us doesn’t work anyway.

Sadly, there are those who either can not or will not make a distinction between true followers of Jesus Christ and those who seek dominion in His name.

Who would have thought Steven Spielberg could make a boring movie about aliens? 

Spielberg’s first major film in 10 years, Disclosure Day, was released Friday to mixed reviews. I haven’t seen the film, but based on the reviews of those who have my sense is that the movie is about an hour too long and 30 years out of date. 

For example, the movie is described as a long chase scene in which the two protagonists are trying to reach a television studio to share proof of the existence of extraterrestrial life. Pardon me, but who actually believes the mainstream media anymore? Spielberg may be showing his age, but pretty much everyone under the age of 75 knows that anyone with the laptop and Wi-Fi could get the same information out to the entire world, faster, easier, and with a better chance of being believed than by racing a team of trained security professionals to a broadcast news studio.

This movie would have been received a lot better during the height of the popularity of The X-Files. 

Meanwhile, aliens of a different type have the United Kingdom rising up in protest after several incidents where new arrivals to the UK took bladed weapons to people of European ancestry. Citizens of the UK want elected officials who have foisted unrestricted immigration on their constituents, held accountable for streets that are increasingly unsafe and budgets that are increasingly unbalanced because of the imported diversity. 

Also: 100 days of war with Iran.

DESPITE NEAR-UNIVERSAL skepticism from mainstream science (and most Christians) Dr. Judd Burton, director of the Institute of Biblical Anthropology, believes the giants of Genesis 6 are to be taken literally.

In fact, he suggests in his new book Interview With the Giant: Ethnohistorical Notes on the Nephilim, that the Nephilim may have planted the roots of mankind’s earliest known civilizations.

We discussed the evidence for the existence of the Nephilim, both biblical and extrabiblical, their impact on the ancients, and their influence on the world today.

The world is being prepped for the disclosure of the existence of extraterrestrial life. The church needs to be ready with answers.

This coming Friday, the new Steven Spielberg film, Disclosure Day, will be released, and it’s almost certain to be a blockbuster. The message of the film, according to Spielberg, is disclosure is imminent. He wants to convince audiences that ET is real, and to challenge people of religious faith to think hard about what that means for their world view. 

Guy Malone (alienresistance.org) and Joe Jordan (ce4research.com) are offering a free event Thursday, July 2, 2026 from 3 PM to 8 PM Central Time as part of the annual UFO Festival in Roswell, New Mexico (details here: christiansymposium.live). You can attend in person or participate in the live stream at youtube.com/@gilberthouse. 

Guy and Joe explain their reasons for organizing this symposium, the impact they think Steven Spielberg will have on this discussion, and why this phenomenon is spiritual rather than scientific.

First released February 7, 2010

THE WORLD is more like The X-Files than most people would like to believe. Of course, coming from Hollywood, The X-Files didn’t present the whole story behind UFOs and alien abductions.

Joe Jordan is the President and co-founder of CE4 Research Group, an alien abduction investigation and research team based out of Cocoa, Florida. Joe has been a Mutual UFO Network Field Investigator since 1992. He’s been a guest speaker at six Roswell UFO Festivals in Roswell, New Mexico, including the 60th Anniversary Conference in 2007, and he hosted the official Roswell UFO Festival Conference in 2008.

Joe is the co-author with David Ruffino of the book Unholy Communion: The Alien Abduction Phenomenon, Where It Originates and How It Stops. We discussed his research into the phenomenon, where the “aliens” really come from, and how contactees and experiencers can make them go away.

THE BLOOD is the life. It’s a memorable line from the classic 1939 film Dracula. 

It’s also a reference to Genesis 9:4–6 and God’s prohibition on the shedding of human blood. The vampire,  of course, survives by violating that prohibition on a regular basis.

This month, our Iron and Myth crew—Doug Van Dorn (DouglasVanDorn.com), author of Battle for the Bible’s Truth, and award-winning screenwriter Brian Godawa (Godawa.com), best-selling author of the new novel Daniel: Exile in Babylon—discuss the depiction of vampires by Hollywood, their historic descriptions in ancient texts, and the surprising appearance of vampires in the Bible.

Sadly, our friend Dr. Judd Burton (BurtonBeyond.net), author of Interview With the Giant, was unable to connect due to technical problems. We promise to have that corrected for next month!

Originally released September 20, 2009

A SECRETIVE religious group that wields power in Washington, D.C. and other world capitals — sounds like the basis for Dan Brown’s next novel, but it’s real.

Jeff Sharlet, author of The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power, has been following this group for years, even living at The Family’s headquarters for a time. What he found is a group that justifies its pursuit of political power by claiming that it’s for the kingdom of God.

Read Jeff’s original expose of The Family, “Jesus Plus Nothing,” at Harper’s Magazine online.

Christians are taking heat for The Family from the likes of The Huffington Post and MSNBC. The irony is that The Family isn’t promoting a Christian agenda, but a New Age agenda. See Constance Cumbey’s five-part series The Family and its Hijacking of Evangelicalism.

As Jeff Sharlet asked, where is the outrage from influential evangelicals?
