A View from the Bunker

THE OLD GODS are asserting themselves, and their followers are trying to fulfill the demands of their patron deities. 

Surprisingly, you wouldn’t recognize a pagan if you bumped into one at the local dollar store. They are your friends, coworkers, and even family members. There is nothing to mark them as a practitioner of Wicca, worshiper of Odin, or ceremonial magician. 

Carl Teichrib, author of the highly recommended Game of Gods, has spent decades, attending meetings, and gatherings of the followers of the left hand path. He tells us that not only are these people respected members of our community, a surprisingly large number of them were formally deeply involved in Christian churches—which they left because they had questions and needs that went unanswered.

BEFORE THE flood of Noah, the world was very different.

Researcher and author Doug Elwell joines us to discuss the Ancient Near East in the days of Atlantis. Doug talked about a land, nearly hidden in myth, known to researchers as Osiria, after the Egyptian god.

The ancient Egyptians remembered that Osiria, led by Athens, fought a war against Atlantis just before the Flood. What evidence remains of this antediluvian world? Who was the god-man Osiris? And why are some secret societies trying to recreate the technology of the ancient world?

Since October 7, 2023, an element of Christianity has emerged and is growing that holds Israel, and Jews generally, responsible for much of the evil in this world. 

At the heart of this is a growing belief that Zionism is something to be opposed, if not outright evil. But what if God is a Zionist (see, for example, Psalm 132:13–14)? 

Christopher Kuehl (PresentWitness.org), author of the new book Is God a Zionist? joins us to discuss the complex topics surrounding Israel, Zionism, biblical prophecy, and the influence of various political and spiritual forces.

We explore the historical, theological, and geopolitical aspects of Israel’s role in God’s plan and current global affairs—and how modern politics and conspiracy theories influence perceptions of Israel.

DR. PATRICK HERON returns to the bunker to discuss his new book, The Return of the Antichrist and the New World Order.

As we’ve come to expect from Paddy, this is an hour you’ll enjoy and appreciate: he tells us why Barack Obama is absolutely not the Antichrist, how the United States figures into end times prophecy, and who — or what — exactly he believes the Antichrist to be.

The church needs to figure out what to do about Israel. 

Since the second century, a wedge has been driven between Christians and Jews. Sadly, Christians have often been guilty of pouring gasoline on this long–smoldering fire. It happened again after the massacre committed by Hamas on October 7, 2023.

Our guest, Ran Silberman, is a messianic Jew and a professional tour guide in Israel. He can speak to the subject of Jew hatred in the church from a unique perspective—not only is he a Christian living in Israel, but he is also a Jew. He explains that the church has a long, shameful history of demonizing Jews, one that must be confronted in this hour. 

Ran will be in the United States during the month of June to speak to groups and churches about this topic. If you are in the Mid South, the Ozarks, Oklahoma, or North Texas, you can contact us by email at [email protected] or by reaching out to Ran through at facebook.com/ran.silberman.

THERE IS no greater threat to the Christian church in America today than the New Age movement. Why? Because it’s just a repackaged version of the old lie, “ye shall be as gods”.

Sadly, this lie has wormed its way into our churches. Too many believers are unaware of the many faces this lie presents, from contemplative prayer to political activism where temporal power is justified as a means to an end.

Constance Cumbey has been sounding the warning since the publication of her groundbreaking book, The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow, and she shares with us some of the evidence that leaders among the New Age and prominent evangelicals have been working together behind the scenes for decades.

Read Constance’s blog to keep up with her research.

Demons are real. They hate you and everyone you love. 

Most churches in America would have a problem accepting those statements. That’s because the church in America has become so de-supernaturalized we don’t recognize manifest evil when it’s standing right in front of us. But these spiritual battles we dismiss are affecting our lives more than we know. 

Tag someone who needs to hear this. 

Our guest, Kori Serrano, reveals how trauma can create invisible wounds that attract demonic forces. She shares insights on how these experiences shape our subconscious, leading to coping mechanisms that keep us from fully embracing faith. 

What’s vital is the need for healing and understanding. Many don’t even realize they’re dealing with these issues because they aren’t taught in church.

It’s Wayback Wednesday with another episode drawn from our archive of programs going back to 2009. This week, we feature occult researcher William H. Kennedy, who passed away in 2013 at the age of only 49.

Originally released September 27, 2009

A WEEK doesn’t go by without a new lurid crime playing around the clock on the 24-hour cable news channels. So many of them involve children, like the Phillip Garrido alleged kidnapping of Jaycee Dugard, or Melissa Huckaby, who allegedly raped and killed 8-year-old Sandra Cantu.

William H. Kennedy has been researching occult and satanic crime since his days as at San Francisco State University, and he joined us to try to help us make sense of an insane world.

SOME OF the largest grossing movies in Hollywood history feature depictions of demonic possession. They’re terrifying, but are they realistic? 

Pastor Doug Van Dorn (DouglasVanDorn.com), author of Battle for the Bible’s Truth: Genesis, Jesus, and the Second Century Plot to Deny the Messiah and award-winning screenwriter Brian Godawa (Godawa.com), best-selling author of the theological thriller Cruel Logic and the new novel Daniel: Exile in Babylon join us to discuss the accuracy of films like The Exorcist, The Conjuring, Paranormal Activity, and Nefarious, and whether they have value in presenting supernatural evil in a way that can encourage discussions of spiritual truths.

Sadly, our friend Dr. Judd Burton (BurtonBeyond.net), author of Interview With the Giant, was unable to connect due to technical problems, an issue that will be corrected for next months’s discussion.

AFTER YEARS of research and writing, deliverance minister Russ Dizdar’s long awaited book The Black Awakening is due for release. While this may cover old ground for long-time P.I.D. Radio listeners, we think it’s good to revisit his work, which puts a human face on the supernatural war we’re in — whether we realize it or want to accept it.

The Black Awakening refers to an event that people under the influence of a demonically controlled alternate personality have described to Russ, a day when people who’ve infiltrated law enforcement, the military, and first responder organizations are triggered — much like in The God Conspiracy — to create literal hell on Earth.
