Wyatt’s descent into the dark masquerade begins when a powerful spirit disguises itself as Jesus and pulls him into a ritual that opens his life to sleep-paralysis abductions, sexual manipulation, and years of demonic illusions so convincing he truly believed he was serving Christ. This counterfeit “Jesus” takes him into churches in the spirit, seduces him with twisted intimacy, and uses psychosis like a joystick to drive him deeper into destruction. The deception grows all while the antichrist entity that claims it is Yahweh, convinces Wyatt he is its chosen vessel, and lures him toward a horrific plan involving Nephilim-level corruption. But everything shatters on his daughter’s birthday when Wyatt collapses in a field and the real Jesus Christ tears every demon out of him in an instant. Shame turns into sonship as God lifts his face and calls him His own. Now Wyatt walks in the truth, exposing the masquerade that almost destroyed him and pointing others to the Christ who saved him.

When AI robots start landing like superheroes, China rolls out combat-ready humanoids, and a surveillance screen at Skinwalker Ranch morphs into the words “I LIVING,” you know it’s getting weird. In this Slingshot Nation Live replay, I break down the rise of AI house robots and military humanoids, what happens when tech is wired to the cloud and allowed to learn from our lives, and why this all feels a lot less “cool future” and a lot more dystopian prophecy. From Black Friday chaos to boycotts, Stranger Things, Dark, and the spiritual cost of a world built on subscriptions and smart machines, we’re asking: what happens when the devices stop serving us and start serving something else?

Then we get into the clip from the Shawn Ryan Show where Brandon Fugal describes Eric Bard’s encounter at Skinwalker Ranch—the security system glitching, the screen melting, and the phrase “I LIVING” appearing in direct response to his verbal demand. I walk through why this fits the biblical category of principalities and second-heaven entities, not “friendly advanced intelligence,” and how it ties into this week’s talk about the Dark Window and the partial Schumann Resonance blackout. Did you feel off—tired, anxious, glitchy, or strangely bold—during that window? We talk about frequencies, CERN, portals, spiritual warfare, and why the supernatural worldview of the Bible explains more of this than any New Age timeline-shift language ever will.

If you like these deep dives into AI, the supernatural, Skinwalker Ranch, frequencies, and spiritual warfare, hit like, subscribe, drop your thoughts in the comments, and share this with someone who’s paying attention to how weird things are getting.

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!

What if the thing crushing your chest in the dark wasn’t a nightmare—but a demon wearing the face of The Predator? Chip’s story centers on the night a Predator-like demon sat on his chest, crushed the breath out of him, pulled his spirit out of his body, and tried to choke out the name of Jesus before he could speak it. That attack was just one piece of a larger onslaught tied to his wife’s deepening occult involvement; Baphomet standing at the foot of the bed, hooded figures circling the room, and a briefcase-carrying Hat Man stalking him up the driveway. He even faced a dragon-sized entity whose breath tried to peel back his spiritual armor until the name of Jesus shattered it into nothing. Every manifestation pushed him closer to the truth: he wasn’t dealing with imagination, but with spirits hijacking a broken woman’s rituals to destroy him. Yet every time he invoked Christ, the darkness fled. This is Chip’s warning, and his redemption story.

What if the blueprint for what’s happening right now isn’t science fiction, but the days of Noah repeating themselves? In this episode, Tony and Pastor Larry Ragland trace every modern “mystery”; AI, disclosure, transhumanism, back to the original rebellion of the Watchers and the moment humanity first lost its identity in Eden. Larry breaks down how fallen angels didn’t just corrupt bloodlines; they corrupted purpose, truth, and destiny, and that same fallen intelligence is resurfacing in our generation with new weapons. As he reveals the spiritual architecture behind portals, programs, and the coming great deception, Larry argues that we’re not just in prophetic times, we are the generation of Noahs, called to build with conviction while the world sleeps. This isn’t fear. It’s a warning to stay awake while the ancient enemy runs the same playbook in a modern world.

In Episode 454: The Inverted World, we are joined by Ashleigh from Australia for a two-part overtime episode. Ashleigh has had a life filled with the paranormal and bizarre. From "scribbled men" and the "black doorman" to out-of-body experiences, to what I at first thought was a dogman but now, with new knowledge that I've gained since our recording, I believe could have been a rake entity, for lack of better terminology. With all these things in her life, Ashleigh has been through a lot. Her most intriguing encounter in this first hour is when she slipped into an inverted world that was this world, but different. She describes what she saw and what happened, and her experiences are like talking with someone straight out of a "Stranger Things" episode!

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!

Human trafficking may be happening where most people never think to look: out on the open sea, in the dark zones of international waters where ships vanish from satellite view and people disappear without a trace. This morning we’re exploring how modern trafficking networks could be operating across the ocean, and then pushing deeper into the supernatural side of the topic — from portal-related disappearances connected to places like the Bermuda Triangle to the chilling possibility that some victims are taken through non-physical means.

We’ll also examine the disturbing idea of astral trafficking, a reality claimed by victims who say they were exploited outside their bodies. This includes the testimony of next Tuesday’s guest, Hope Beryl Green, who says she was trafficked by human networks tied to Jeffrey Epstein and taken in the astral realm as well. This conversation blends real-world danger with high strangeness, exposing how physical and supernatural trafficking may overlap in ways most people never imagine.

What if the camera didn’t just catch a creature, but the doorway it came through? In this episode, Tony sits down with Travis Carpenter to revisit the night his father, Scott Carpenter, filmed one of the clearest portal manifestations ever recorded. From that moment on, everything changes. They unravel Scott’s groundbreaking DNA research suggesting Bigfoot’s supernatural origins, the eerie connection between metallic “door” sounds and portals, and the possibility that East Tennessee’s ancient mountains are dotted with thin places, geographic points where spiritual war bleeds into the physical world. By the end, it’s not just about a portal in the Smokies, it’s about realizing we live on a battlefield where those doors are opening again.

An FBI Agent goes undercover inside America’s darkest pagan cults… and discovers something far more sinister than criminal activity. Rituals. Blood offerings. Blóts. Pagan ceremonies that weren’t just symbolic, something was responding.

In this exclusive interview, a retired federal agent, Scott Payne, recounts the supernatural encounters he experienced while infiltrating extremist groups who blended ideology with occult ritual. What started as an investigation into domestic terror slowly revealed a deeper war, one not fought with weapons, but with spirits, influence, and ancient forces still active today.

Inside these pagan rituals, the Kingdom of Darkness wasn’t just present… it looked back.

If you’re interested in the supernatural world behind real investigations, spiritual warfare, cults, rituals, and the hidden battle influencing culture today, this is an episode you won’t forget.
