The Confessionals

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.

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.

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. Your prayers make a difference!

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. Your prayers make a difference!

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. Your prayers make a difference!
