Dan 11:32

For decades we've been told that there are too many human beings on this planet for life to be sustained, and apocalyptic predictions about our imminent demise have been made since the 1960s. In this episode, we look at the international drive toward population reduction, its roots and fruits, and discuss what our response to this movement should be in the light of God's Word.

In today's episode we'll look at the way the media and political narrative surrounding Ukraine has shifted over the past year, especially concerning the activity of "extreme right-wing" groups in that country. 

Today we'll listen to Tony Blair speaking about Digital ID at the WEF in Davos, consider how it is being touted as a cure for all ills, and what this push for Digital ID means for us. 

Darren Byler's 2021 book In the Camps: China's High-Tech Penal Colony reveals how Big Tech and the totalitarian State in China have combined forces to develop systems of oppression and control of the Uyghur population in China's Xinjiang province. In today's episode, we look at the links between these developments and American tech corporations, and the danger of imagining that "this could never happen here."

I recently stumbled across a Canadian public school curriculum website that vividly demonstrates the necessity for discernment, digging a little deeper, and being aware of the interests at work behind the scenes in shaping public opinion. In this week's episode of Dan 11:32, we take a look at kidsboostimmunity.com. 

Author Yasha Levine refers to Silicon Valley as "Surveillance Valley," and the book that bears this title reveals much about how true that moniker really is. In this episode of Dan 11:32, we'll look at the roots of the Internet in the American military-industrial complex, and the continuing role that Big Tech continues to play in seeking to build a world where  everyone is watched, predicted, and controlled.

How did we become a society that proclaims "tolerance" to be the greatest good, while still being so intolerant toward certain points of view? In this week's episode, we explore this question, looking at the influential 1965 essay by Herbert Marcuse, "Repressive Tolerance," and considering its lasting and destructive influence.

In this week's episode I discuss Dr. Mark McDonald's 2021 book The United States of Fear: How America Fell Victim To A Mass Delusional Psychosis. McDonald argues that America suffered two pandemics: a viral one, and a psychological one, with the "pandemic of fear" being far more dangerous and damaging. His thesis, that this "fear pandemic" is rooted in the natural anxieties of women on behalf of their children and families, worsened by the way in which feminized men failed their women, inflamed and amplified by sensationalistic media, and driven over the top by authoritarian measures, remains important to consider even outside of the "pandemic" context.

In today's episode, I go through the introduction of Mark Milke's 2021 book The Victim Cult: How the Grievance Culture Hurts Everyone and Wrecks Civilzations, and address what Milke has to say about this "grievance culture" in the context of the previous two episodes on "Truth and Reconciliation."

The truth matters, and it often falls victim when the dominant ideology is being promoted. In this episode, we use the examples of the Kamloops Residential School and the Nicholas Sandmann case to discuss the importance of discernment, and the lack of discernment that has often been shown, even in the evangelical world. In this episode, I go through the following article, published in January of this year: https://www.dorchesterreview.ca/blogs/news/in-kamloops-not-one-body-has-been-found
