A View from the Bunker

LOVE HIM or hate him, there's no denying the syndicated radio and Fox News host Glenn Beck, a Mormon, has become the de facto spokesman for conservative Christians in America.  But his "Restoring Honor" rally at the Lincoln Memorial yesterday shows that his call for political change has morphed into a call for revival: "Something beyond imagination is happening.  America today begins to turn back...

TALKING FOR a living takes on extra significance when you're a follower of Jesus Christ. Al Gross, host of The Al Gross Show on 1010 KXEN in St. Louis and The National Countdown Show, the only countdown show featuring music from the Golden Age of Top40, discusses the challenge of living a public life as an outspoken Christian. Plus: Glenn Beck's 8/28 rally, the return of Ralph Reed, and Rick Joyne...

"TAKE AMERICA back!" is a common rallying cry for conservative Christians lately. We've met someone who may have the formula, if it's ever going to happen. Tim Berends is a 40-year radio veteran who's worked for Billy Graham, the 700 Club, and the Moody Bible Institute.  In 1986, Tim and his partner, Al Gross, were named the "top jocks" in Los Angeles by readers of the Herald-Examiner. Now, Tim wo...

LIKE IT or not, every man, woman, and child on planet Earth is deployed in a spiritual war that's been ongoing since the Fall. Connie Huft, inspired by her personal confrontation with demons, discusses the world of the paranormal, from angels and demons to ghosts and UFOs, and her book, Know Thine Enemy: A Guide to Intelligent Deception. Soldiers don't go to war without training to defeat the enem...

DURING MY reading on the Dominionist movement this year, I noticed that one book kept popping up in footnotes, cited by researchers studying this heresy. Vengeance Is Ours: The Church In Dominion, published in 1990, was an early warning call to the church about a group of self-appointed, self-anointed apostles and prophets who believe God wants them to take over the world. Al Dager, author of Veng...

AS CHRISTIANS seethe at the moral decay spreading through our culture, the temptation builds to impose a legal framework of biblical morality. But by doing so, we risk imposing the kind of theocratic tyranny on others that our forefathers fled when they rejected the authority King James in matters of faith. So what do we do? Pastor Ian Farnsley, Family Life Minister at Town & Country Christian Chu...

FROM ARMY intelligence to the leading edge of the tech industry, Chad Miles is a man who's mind is always engaged. He's a former contributing editor for Defense Watch Magazine and former contributor to The Michigan Journal.  As a political blogger he has written regularly for Right Michigan, Tech Republican, Hip Hop Republican, and The Michigan Minority Report.

DOES THE Bible hold a hidden time code with the answers to some of life's greatest questions, such as: "What is our destination?" and "When will we get there?" In The Template of Time, Tom Payne draws on eight years of intensive research as he makes the case for a comprehensive, chronological study of the quirky time patterns scattered throughout the Bible that, when assembled, create an eternal t...

THE PORTAL to the spirit world may be inside your head.  Author and professor of psychiatry Dr. Rick Strassman makes the case in his book DMT: The Spirit Molecule that a substance found in plants and the human body may be the key to unlocking that portal. In 1990, Dr. Strassman began the first new US government approved and funded clinical research with psychedelic drugs in over twenty years. His...

THE ELECTION of Barack Obama has prompted a visceral response from conservatives in America.  The tea-party movement has a strong appeal to conservative Christians, who respond to the movement's call for smaller government that abides by the Constitution. But within that movement are those who seek to remake the Earth for religious reasons.  Paul and Phillip Collins, co-authors of The Ascendancy o...

THERE WAS a coverup of what really happened at Roswell, New Mexico in July of 1947.  But the conspiracy wasn't the coverup of a UFO crash; the UFO was the coverup. Dr. Joseph Farrell, author of Reich of the Black Sun, The SS Brotherhood of the Bell: NASA's Nazis, JFK, And Majic-12, Nazi International, and Roswell and the Reich: The Nazi Connection, makes a case for the crash at Roswell of an advan...

THE CHURCH has been invaded by false spirits manifesting lying signs and wonders. That's the message from Andrew Strom, a longtime member of the charismatic movement and author of the new book, Kundalini Warning: Are False Spirits Invading the Church? Strom was part of the New Apostolic Reformation for 11 years before realizing that the leadership of the movement had no interest in discernment and...

IN THE words of the very minor 1950s TV celebrity the Amazing Criswell, "We're all interested in the future because that is where we'll spend the rest of our lives." Unlike Criswell, however, Bible prophecy always proves to be true, even if our understanding now is clouded by seeing as though we're looking at a mirror into a darkened room. Pastor Kevin Johnson is a longtime student of Bible prophe...

WHAT IF the mark of the Beast is not a physical mark or implant, but a genetic marker? Minister Dwayne Lewis and J.B. Thomas, Jr., author of F.A.D.N.A.: Mark of the Beast, join Derek to discuss end times prophecy, the enemy's ongoing genetic manipulation program, and sharing a supernatural worldview with other Christians who aren't really comfortable with, well, the supernatural. Then we introduce...

FOLLOWING UP our discussion of ufology and "alien" theology last week, we continue to examine the alien gospel with Paul and Phillip Collins, authors of The Ascendancy of the Scientific Dictatorship: An Examination of Epistemic Autocracy, From the 19th to the 21st Century. The Brothers Collins make the case that elements within the intelligence community have deliberately and systematically encour...

NAZIS, TIME travel, and Noah's ark!  Author Sam Batterman talks about his speculative fiction novel, Wayback. We discuss his research into the Flood and the world that came before it, the technology of the ark, and his thoughts on the intersection of faith and science. Plus the Bunker Intelligence Briefing, the growing alliance between America's political right and self-appointed, self-anointed ap...

A NEW interpretation of end times prophecy this week. Former radio broadcaster longtime student of Bible prophecy Joe Ortiz, author of The End Times Passover and Why Christians Will Suffer Great Tribulation, believes scholars have misinterpreted key passages that are commonly thought to point to the Rapture — a literal "catching away" of believers before (or, as some believe, during) the so-called...

63 years ago, Americans might have heard news reports of a flying disc recovered near Roswell, New Mexico. However, it wasn't until 30 years later, largely through the efforts of physicist Stanton Friedman, that the 1947 Roswell UFO crash attained its status as one of the iconic moments of modern history. In the first hour, we talked with Guy Malone of Alien Resistance Ministries and Joe Jordan of...

TENSIONS BETWEEN Turkey and Israel raised the specter of the war prophesied in Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39, popularly called the Gog/Magog War. However, prophecy scholar Bill Salus, author of Isralestine: The Ancient Blueprints of the Future Middle East, points out that Israel's neighbors aren't mentioned by Ezekiel. Bill suggests that a coalition of Israel's neighbors, described in Psalm 83, will...

WHEN THE end comes, it may be not with a bang but with a GRIN — as in genetics, robotics, artificial intelligence, and nanotechnology. Tom Horn, publisher of Raiders News Network and the author of Apollyon Rising: 2012, talked about GRIN technology and the growing trans- and post-humanist movements. Will advanced biotechnology create the end times army of the Antichrist? Here's a link to the book...

THE TENSION between Turkey and Israel over the so-called freedom flotilla incident in late May has led astute prophecy watchers to ask whether this was a precursor to the war prophesied in chapters 38 and 39 of the book of Ezekiel. We talked with Douglas Berner, author of The Silence is Broken: God Hooks Ezekiel's Gog and Magog for an overview of the prophecy, where it fits into the end times time...

Minister Dante Fortson, host of The Omega Hour and author of the new e-book How To Hunt The Supernatural, discussed the Angelic Research Center and what he's learned from his study of the paranormal. He also talked about the upcoming Omega Hour Conference with L.A. Marzulli and Andrew Hoffman August 27 & 28 in Las Vegas. In the second hour, Derek talked about the simmering conflict between Israel...

CHRISTIANS WHO oppose dominion theology, the heretical idea that Christ isn't coming back until we take over the Earth (starting with America, of course), are no better than Nazi collaborators or Communist sympathizers. That's according to Janet Porter, who made those claims last week in her column at WorldNetDaily and an interview on KFAX radio in San Francisco. Sarah Leslie of Discernment Minist...

Joe Jordan, president of CE4 Research Group and co-author with David Ruffino of the new book Unholy Communion: The Alien Abduction Phenomenon–Where It Originates And How It Stops, joined us for the first 90 minutes. We discussed what's really behind the abduction phenomenon and the evidence secular ufologists don't want you to know about. We also talked with The Whyman about the reasons for trusti...

MOST OF us assume that a portal is a physical gateway. But what if the entrance to another dimension is inside your head? Dr. Michael Bennett, A/K/A Dr. Future of the Future Quake radio program, tells us about government experiments to find and control supernatural doorways, the kinds of drugs that unlock those doors, and how this may lead to a disturbing end times scenario. Future Quake airs week...
