Speaker 1: The following presentation isn't del Marvis Studio's production.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to siers from around the world. It's time
for another edition of the Fat Hunter podcast. As we
record on this Tuesday, May the twelfth, twenty twenty six.
I hope everybody had a great weekend and your week
is off to.
Speaker 3: A great start. Today we kind of of wind down
our series on this entire season between August of ninety
two to April of ninety five, that two and a
half year span where many Americans woke up to the
truth of how this country really operates and the overreaching
power of the government. And that's Ruby Ridge and the
story of the Weaver family, and we'll get into that.
As I mentioned, this will kind of complete that series.
But we're starting something new, something beneath the surface. We've
kind of been talking about for a while, how the
news is changing by the hour, and the whole social
media AI everything that's going on, and this new series
that we're starting coming in the following weeks and months
for much of the summer. We'll see how far along
it goes. We're beginning a deep dive that's called Exposing
the Matrix, and that's going to start a week from today,
not the Hollywood version, not the science fiction. We're talking
about the system of control, deception, which is a big
word Satan uses. He deceives us, manipulation, propaganda, the fear
porn that they use to drive us into subversion. This
spiritual blindness that surrounds our society today. And it's a
system so large and that has become, unfortunately so normalized
that most people can't even see it anymore because they've
lived inside of it their entire lives. So again, this
matrix isn't one single organization. It's not just one political party.
It's a web, or you could call it a network
of influence, involving governments, corporations, financial institutions, media conglomerates, intelligence agencies,
on and on and on right, big tech, pharmaceuticals. It's,
you know, this ideological movement for lack of better words,
that works together and they shape a perception and our
behavior on a massive scale. That's why out of the
whatever oney ten uploads that we've had over the last
six years, between classic audio and the radio shows and
the regular episodes, we've uploaded like one thy and ten
podcasts just for the Fact Hunter. The one on Burnet's
is one of the more important ones. Understand that they
know they can psychologically manipulate it us. They know that
with the introduction of first the printing press, and then
the radio and then the television, they're able to manipulate
our mind because we're so easily deceived and our level
of trust is way too high than what it should be. Right.
So here's why this series is going to be different
from a lot of the things we've done before. We're
we're not going to break down the left and the right.
It's deeper than just the corruption we see on a
daily basis. We're going what's the spiritual foundation underneath the chaos.
We're going to look at each system within the matrix
that is used to break us down. You look at
Ephesian six twelve. It says for we wrestle not against
flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the
rulers of the darkness of this world, and that verse
sounds less symbolic with every passing year. We're living in
an age where truth itself is under attack and objective
reality is dissolving. People can't even agree on basic biology.
In this moronic world, we live in today. The morality
is completely destroyed, our history is askew, and nobody even
knows what constitutes truth anymore. And what this twenty four
to seven Internet TikTok thing has become is an emotional manipulation,
engineered outrage, tribal politics and manufactured one hundred percent manufactured division.
And because we take the bait every single time that
they dangle the bait out there, and then you have
to take a side right the left of the right.
And the thing is, people who are spiritually weak are
easy to deceive. And again, and if you go back
to the late eighteen hundreds when when into the you know,
turn of the twentieth century, Satan has infiltrated these churches.
And that's why I take it so personally when I
go into a church and see improper leadership sermons that
aren't being you know, all these topical sermons that aren't
you know, citing scripture at all, instead of doing an
expository sermon, going verse by verse and educating the flock
on what the Bible means. You know, this whole Christian
light like a light beer movement is the reason that
they have been able to manipulate us so easy. And
you know, instead of teaching discernment that the churches teach
comfort and their standards keep sliding backwards. Well that's okay,
that's okay. And instead of repentance, they're teaching self esteem.
And instead of warning about deception like we do here
on a weekly basis, they're entertaining with their smoke machines
and the cool music. It's all part of the matrix.
And I'm going to show you how easily we're manipulated.
But I'm also going to show you how easy it
is to fight back. It's not a call to arms.
It's so simple to walk away from this system. But
I'll also show you probably why we never will, because
I'll give you a sneak peek. Because of our dependency
on the matrix, people are waking up. Over the last
several years, millions of people have indeed started waking up,
questioning the official narratives surrounding wars, the banking systems, media manipulation,
public health care, campaign surveillance, technology, censorship, education, and the
growing merger between governments and corporations. Right, and remember, anytime
there's an emergency, no bid contracts, they just award their
buddies the money and they get their kickback and everybody's happy.
And those are the little things the nine to nineties
that we talk about ad nauseam people just that they
won't take the time to discern things for themselves. And
that's something that we're going to be talking about, right
and again, the series isn't about creating fear. It's about discernment.
It's about pulling back the curtain. We will say names,
we will say the people behind these things. We're going
to learn how propaganda works, how psychological operations happen, about
fear conditioning, about how entertainment shapes our perception and even
our morality, and how they've normalized garbage language. You have
a president that's dropping f bombs on Easter and everybody
just says, well, it could always it could have been Kamala.
That's how weak we've become. But be all of that.
You know, this series is going to be about learning
to remain spiritually awake in a world that is designed
to keep people spiritually asleep. Okay, I want to fire
you up like Roddy Popper and Roddy Piper pardon me,
and they live, and I want you to get those
glasses on your family and friends. Okay, John eight thirty
two says, and ye shall know the truth, and the
truth shall make you free. And notice that truth comes
before freedom. Most people want comfort before truth. And there's
a lot of air quotes here conspiracy theories that some
folks won't look into because it makes you uncomfortable, because
you don't want to be that guy. Well, this world
system that we're going to be exposing, the matrix. The matrix,
i should say, promises freedom while producing bondage. It promises
connection while producing isolation. You know, people know the world
is broken, but they're afraid to look. So beginning next
week wrap this up, we're going to go deeper than
we ever have gone before on this podcast. We're going
to examine the narratives, the systems, the institutions, the symbols,
something we've been talking about for years, the agendas, the
spiritual forces that shape the matrix that we live in today. So,
you know, the big question we'll ask is who benefits
from the deception and more importantly, how we break free
from it. But the biggest question is are people willing
to change wholesale to actually, you know, to actually fix
what they complain about on a daily basis. That is
the million dollar Questions. So beginning next week we start
our new series Exposing the Matrix. So looking forward to that.
Another thing I wanted to mention. Please go to our
sub stack, the Fact Hunter and subscribe and share and
click that like button. Today I wrote an article, and
this is something that would go right into that series,
you know, exposing the Matrix, because you know, let me
ask you this, look at your family, your children, how
much money and time have you spent on Disney over
the years. And look, you know I had nineties children.
You know, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Frozen was a
big one with the grandchildren, right, and then you realize
the evil behind Disney. I'm not going to read this
whole article. I'd ask that you subscribe it and read
it and share it. And it's important that you know
you hear the people on YouTube ask you to click
that like button. It only takes a second and most
people never do it. And it's these things actually affect
the algorithm. So when people say, well, how can I
help you? The little things like that that don't cost
you a penny, they help out a great bit. But
I'm going to read some of this to you because
it's important to understand that Disney is so much more
than entertainment, and it's actually evil, it's witchcraft and it's
magic with a K. Few entertainment figures shape the modern
world like Walt Disney, and you know many of your
children and grandchildren and maybe even yourself have had that
moment at the Magic Kingdom. We've been there a lot
of really neat stuff, the Big Tree and the Animal Kingdom. Right.
I was there twenty eighteen eight years ago, starting to
come out of my zombianess, not understanding the entire truth
was hipped to obviously nine to eleven and things like that,
but still blind to what was really behind those smiling
mascots and that polished corporate image that really intertwines with
wartime propaganda, government influence, intelligence relationships with the FBI and
I'm sure the CIA as well. But the occult symbolism,
technological futurism, and this gradual normalization of magic and witchcraft,
which if you show this nonsense to our forefathers, they
would have slapped us upside our head for accepting this
as mass culture and something that began as cartoons and
fantasy slowly not involves, evolved into one of the most
powerful cultural institutions on Earth, and it's capable of shaping
the worldview of generations. And on the surface, you know,
when somebody sees this article, they're like, this is such nonsense.
Why would somebody make such a big deal, you know,
as something as harmless as Disney. We'll look back. Shortly
after the release of Dumbo in October of nineteen forty one,
we entered World War Two following the attack on Pearl Harbor,
which we all know was known well in advance. During
that time, Disney Studios transformed from this simple entertainment company
into a direct instrument of the US war machine. So
Walt Disney established the Walt Disney Training Films Unit, so
they were actually making these training videos for lack of
better words, that produced these films entitled Aircraft Production Methods
and four Methods Pardoning of Flush Riveting. And these were
not just harmless cartoons for children. These were industrial training
tools designed to increase wartime efficiency and to support military logistics.
So Disney also partnered with the US Department of Treasury
to create these propaganda cartoons that promoted war bonds. And
what's the whole thing we talk about patriotism, that patriotic loyalty,
and Donald Duck became went from a cartoon character to
a wartime messenger for the federal government, blending entertainment with
political persuasion to and here's a word we're going to
be using a lot in the coming weeks normalize. And
that's an important word. You need to stop and kind
of ponder normalize because there was a time when many
of the things we see today that you might roll
your eyes at, but ten years ago you would have
been infuriated. Why because it's become normalized. And in this
way it was done through messaging, through or state messaging,
through animated media. And I even have an image from
February of nineteen forty two. They had a little slow
imagine being excited to pay your taxes using Donald Duck,
and the slogan was taxes to bury the axes, pay
your income taxes before March sixteenth. And again here is
the Disney Corporation using cartoon characters as government propaganda. And
then of course we talk about the examples der Fearer's Face,
which mocks Germany while simultaneous simultaneously serving as this morale
building propaganda machine for the American public. That film even
won an Academy Award, and it demonstrated just how deeply
Disney had become intertwined with wartime psychological operations. And every
time the government saw a success with this type of propaganda,
they would continue on with it. So they're nineteen forty
three production victory through air power pushed strategic bombing and
military aviation policy directly into American homes. Now you're way
past storytelling. At this part. Disney had become a conduit
for a national messaging, using colorful animation to emotionally guide
public opinion during one of the most volatile periods in
modern history. And again, the relationship between Disney and the
federal government didn't just stop at the end of World
War Two. In fact, it expanded, and to this day
they're still working together, certainly with the CIA. But Disney's
post war productions, you know, it started reflecting the optimism
of American technological supremacy and the rise of this centralized
international order. Now what's interesting, there's some historians that have
described Disney functioning like a cultural extension of the Marshall Plan.
And if you're not familiar with that, you can do
a little research. We did a podcast on it last year.
You know, Disney played a part of exporting American values
and consumerism and these ideological influences worldwide. So the smiling
optimism of Disney wasn't just entertainment. It was a broader
cultural campaign that was built to promote specific, modern, progressive
and American influence. And then, if you listen to my
other podcast, you're aware of this. That the space age
came along and during the nineteen fifties, Disney became deeply
involved in promoting the public fascination with outer space and
rocket technology. So nineteen fifty five, Disney released Man in Space,
an episode of the disneyline Disneyland I'm Struggling to I
Apologize Disneyland television series produced in collaboration with rocket engineer
Warner von Braun, a former German scientist brought to America
under Operation paper Clip and became one of the most
influential figures in America's space program. Now, Disney helped present
him to the American public not as a former member
of a war machine, but as a visionary guiding mankind
into the future and millions of Americans were introduced to
the coming space age through Disney productions, blending science fiction
and that term should always be used when describing outer
space futurism, government narrativeives and to put it frankly, childlike
wonder into one unified message, and all of that goes
hand in hand, right two thousand and one A Space Oddity,
Star Wars, Star Trek, Battle, Star Galactical. It's all for
brainwashing and accepting the narrative for when it happens. So again,
for critics of the modern space narrative and the seventy
million dollars a day nasagats, this partnership raises enormous questions.
Disney didn't merely entertain children with fantasy. The company actively
participated into shaping public perception regarding exploration in space, rocket technology,
and the future of humanity itself. And by the way,
a lot of the rides at Disney and Epcot they
reinforced that. But the merging of Disney with NASA really
blurred the line between fantasy and reality, and of course,
Walt Disney played a major role again in psychologically preparing
the public to accept the fake moon landing as a
real event on July twentieth, nineteen sixty one, which again,
July twentieth is the two hundred and first day of
the year, just like event twoh one. Look at the
history of that number. So I'm going to move on
from there to his relationship with intelligence agencies. In nineteen
ninety three, The New York Times reported that Walt Disney
was an informant for the FB high maintaining a close
relationship with Jay Edgar Hoover. Disney provided information to federal
authorities while simultaneously benefit from FBI cooperation and approving film projects.
And just like the Department of Defense, they have a
studio in in Hollywood. They have to approve scripts and
they want to make sure that we're the good guys.
And it tells the right message. So if you want
to borrow our equipment and then to make your movie
look good, you're going to have to send a certain narrative.
I know what you're thinking, Well, it was Disney in
a secret society. I'm glad you asked. Another layer to
the story is Disney's involvement with Freemasonry through the Order
of Demo Lay. He openly credited the organization with shaping
his life and his character. DeMolay itself is a Masonic
sponsored youth organization tied historically to the traditions and symbolism
of Freemasonry. Disney joined the organization in Kansas City in
nineteen twenty and remained proud of his involvement throughout all
of his life. Now again, for Christians, Freemasonry raises serious
concerns because of its secret rituals, symbolic systems, oaths, etc.
And again, you're going to have people who dismiss these
is harmless. They're just you know, these fraternity traditions. You
better look again and maybe open your Bible. But yeah,
Disney went on to become one of the greatest storytellers, right.
But listen how he shapes children's imagination with magic, sorcery, spells, enchantments, fairies, wizards, necromancy,
talking spirits, supernatural power, divorced from the authority of God,
from fairy godmothers to enchanted castles. Disney normalized the occult.
I want to say that again so you understand stand.
Disney normalized the occult not as something dangerous or spiritually corrupting,
but is something beautiful and empowering, whimsical and morally neutral.
What scripture repeatedly warns against became family entertainment, and even
the holiest of families, the most spiritual of families. Right,
what family back in the nineties, you know, felt they
were endangering their children's spiritual future by popping in Aladdin.
And look, the Bible doesn't treat witchcraft as some harmless fantasy.
Scripture consistently connects sorcery and occult practices with rebellion against God.
Galatians five, verses nineteen through twenty one lists witchcraft among
the works of the flesh. Deuteronomy eighteen, verses ten through
twelve worn against divination, enchantments, familiar spirits, and sorcery, calling
them abominations before the Lord. Just because you make it
into a cartoon doesn't make it less of an abomination.
And this modern culture today trains children to admire magicians,
sympathize with witches, and celebrate supernatural power outside the framework
of biblical truth. Now, again, Disney didn't invent this trend.
It's been going on for a long time, but he
undeniably helped normalize it on a worldwide scale. So that's
what makes this discussion larger than cartoons or amusement parks.
Disney became one of the most influential cultural catchisms of
the modern age. It taught generations how to think about magic, authority, technology, fantasy, morality,
all of it. Because underneath the music, the castles, and
the fireworks lies a powerful machine of storytelling, capable of
shaping the minds of millions. And listen, if you follow Christ,
you should at least be willing to ask difficult questions
about what messages have been embedded beneath the surface of
the entertainment. They were never taught to question even the
speed of the frame rate. For decades, researchers have been
discussing the psychological effects on motion pictures and television. Now,
traditional film has historically been projected at about twenty four
frames per second. Now modern video they operate around twenty
four point ninety seven frames per secon depending on the format.
Now people argue that these frame rates that they did
a lot of research, and the current frame rate they
use creates this dream like state in the viewer, which
lowers your critical resistance and increased emotional absorption into the
story being presented. So you have a darkened room, a
glowing screen, rapid image succession, synchronized sound, emotional music, and
this uninterrupted visual focus, and it all creates this immersive
experience where the audience temporarily suspends rational analysis and emotionally
bonds with the narrative. Now is it all out hypnosis
conditioning psychological immersion? You know? What we know is that
viewers become deeply and emotionally attached to fictional worlds, characters
and message delivered through moving images. And if you don't
believe it, go on YouTube. And they have the ones
called like the people of Disney, the Adults of Disney,
and they interview these people and you know, they work
to go to Disney, like that's what they do for
six eight times a year. They'll spend a week down
there and they'll blow twenty grand and they live in
this fantasy world. These aren't children. These are full grown
adults who work and spend their entire savings to go
play whatever, to see Mickey Mouse, and to be a
part of the Magic Kingdom. That's not normal, you know.
I think the American tradition is like, you know the
goal of the family to go as a family one
time to the Magic Kingdom. Right, And we've all many
of us have done that. But there's a line that
becomes concerning when entertainment is saturated with occult themes and
spiritual inversion. And you know, once you wake up to
that stuff, you kind of feel dirty. And when my
wife woke up to this a couple of years ago,
I was just telling my friend Mark about this. She
rounded up all the Disney movies and got rid of
them all. She gave some away, some went straight to
the trash because you realize that this is, like I said,
a spiritual inversion, but it's also rebellion against biblical authority,
that the glorification of magic and supernaturals, you know, apart
from God. And again, people, there's going to be people
who think this is overreaction, but it's not. It is not.
Scripture repeatedly warns believers to guard both the heart and
the mind because what enters through the eyes and the
ears will eventually shape your thought, behavior, and belief. And
they know that. Bernets know that Proverbs for twenty three
says keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of
it are the issues of life. And modern media doesn't
just entertain it shapes beliefs, values, and behavior, and when
children spend countless hours immersed in worlds where witchcraft is heroic,
spells solve problems, and mystical power is celebrated. If you're
a Christian, you shouldn't be shocked when biblical warnings about
sorcery begin to sound old fashioned to the next generation.
And that's where it's gotten to. Oh, here comes that,
you know, the old ball and chain again. The guy
who always complains about Disney doesn't want to have any fun.
I think we just don't know how to have fun anymore.
I'll take my fishing and fishing rod and go fishing.
That's fun, Go out and play with the chickens. I
love cutting the grass, just being outside, playing with my radios,
sitting in front of a box for two hours and
watching sorcery and being propagandized. No thanks, And again, we're
all at different points in our life. I get it.
But you know, let's give you some examples. Okay, Fantasia.
What was that first movie that helps cement the foundation
early The Sorcerer's Apprentice, right, that presents Mickey Mouse stepping
into forbidden magical power that he can't control, animating objects
through spells and supernatural forces and that imagery is mesmerizing
and it's dream like, but it's also deeply a cult.
And how about the Sword and the Stone that introduced
generations to who Merlin, you know, the wise old wizard
that would later dominate modern fantasy storingtelling. Now, look, magic
is not portrayed as this dangerous deception, right, It's portrayed
his wisdom, guidance, and enlightenment. And that's the thing about
this world. And again, something we're going to be talking
about in this series. Evil is rarely does it come
at you as look at me, I'm evil. It appears
harmless and in many ways inviting. Right, go back to
the Fall of Man. Right, the serpent didn't run up
and hold a knife to even say eat the apparol
or else. No, he said, wisdome on, eat the fruit.
Come on, you know what harm could it bring. It's
again with the Sorcerer's Apprentice modernizing these magic relics and
spell books and mystical rings, and the movie Onward mourns
the world where magic had been forgotten. A snow white
and the Seven Dwarfs, you know, a talking magic, mirror, potions,
a lot of deep occult deception, sleeping beauty, right, a
lot of dark supernatural power through the character what is
it Malifestan? It's been a while for that one, and
it went on to be one of Disney's most iconic villains.
And it goes on and on, the enchantments, the dragons,
butting the beast, transforming human beings and household objects through
magical curses. Right, the Little Mermaid introduces children to Ursula
the who, the sea witch who uses spells and contracts
to manipulate occult power. And again, the occult theme is
not peripheral, it is the foundation to the plot itself.
And you know, hocus pocus, bed knobs and broomsticks. Who
you know? I did an interview a couple of weeks
ago and the gentleman mentioned that specifically that was part
of his awakening process, watching bed knobs and broomsticks, right,
normalizing broomstick writing, witches and spellcasting. That was from was
that seventy five And it just goes on and on
and on. So and it says everywhere in scripture Deuteronomy
eighteen condemning witchcraft, Isaiah eight warning against seeking out mediums,
which people do today. Acts nineteen records new believers publicly
burning occult books after coming to Christ, which we should
be doing. Galatians five list witchcraft among the works of
the flesh that separate man from God. Yet modern entertainment
culture has done the opposite. It celebrates these practices, markets
them to children, and we hold the door open for
these evil entities to come into our homes. And that's
the other thing about the matrix. We pay for our
own demise. We'll pay fifty bucks for four tickets to
go see a Disney movie. We'll pay another fifty for
popcorn Minnesota. What we'll spend ten grand to go down
to Disney for four days, on and on and on. Also,
they can poison our mind and enrich themselves. So yeah,
it's larger than cartoons, larger than movies. It's about spiritual
conditioning and normalizing the occult. And we've spoken a naulging
before at Hollywood itself, right, Hollywood, which was believed to
possess magical properties and was sometimes associated with rituals and
wind making and spellcasting across various pagan traditions. And that's
what Hollywood is all about. That's there was a reason
they made outbreak and contagion before COVID and whenever the
next thing happens, you can bet that there were movies
about it before. So again, the battle for your child's
mind didn't begin with smartphones or social media. No, no, no,
It began long ago through stories, symbols, music, imagery, and repetition.
Hollywood became one of the most powerful engines of cultural
influence in human history because it understood something that scripture
warned about thousands of years ago. What people can continually
see here eventually shapes their desires, beliefs, and moral boundaries.
Entertainment is never just entertainment. Every film carries assumptions about
good and evil, truth and deception, power and identity, but
also God and rebellion, and children absorb those messages long
before they possess the maturity to filter them through discernment.
So that's why, again, if you're a Christian, you can't
afford to treat witchcraft lightly just because it's wrapped in humor,
music or sentimentality, you know, being sentimental about it. But
that's how we're sentimental beings. We're traditionalists, and we're not
willing to change the things we like. And that'll be
brought up up in these coming episodes as well, listen,
these people have spent decades, centuries removing the fear and
the seriousness surrounding the occult. Right whiches are now funny Halloween,
They're all over the place. Right darkness has softened through familiarity,
until many believers no longer recognize how aggressively occult themes
have dominated the modern media. Again, Satan doesn't always attack
through obvious horror or blasphemy. He works through gradual desensitization,
right boiling the frog, a little compromise, amusement, curiosity, a
little exposure, over and over and over. And look where
we are today. You will not find anywhere in the
Bible that presents the occult as harmless curiosity. And Hollywood
understands the power of emotional attachment better than most churches do.
The goal is not to entertain audiences for two hours.
The goal is to shape culture itself. I walked out
of a church that had a movie night with one
of these movies. I said, you can't be serious, Oh,
it's just a harmless I was the clown. I was
the one who ever reacted. This entire world is built
on deceit. We wrestle not against the flesh everything that
goes on on a daily basis is a spiritual battle,
because there's only two places you can go when you
leave this earth. That's why you know that the book
works so diligently on called a scripture the church we
were supposed to be. I actually had a different title
for it, which was simply called the Problem with the Church.
But I talked to some people a little too negative.
Let's rework it a little bit. But you know, can
you believe you walk down here, it's just a Disney movie.
It's the occult in the Church of the Lord. And
if you criticize it right, it feels mean or that
guy is extreme, right, because nostalgia has emotionally protected the
very things that scripture warms warns us against. Again, it
appears as beautiful, harmless, funny, emotional, empowering. Genesis three, The
Fall of Man didn't begin with violence. It began with
a conversation and a question. Tewod Corinthians eleven, verse fourteen
warns that Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
So that verse alone should make you cautious about blindly
consuming media that glorifies supernatural power while removing God from
the center of it, and that's what it is. If
you're a parent, you should never allow occult books, tarot cards,
witchcraft manuals, you know, the Ouiji boards, none of that, oh,
you know. But they package it, this occult symbolism as entertainment,
and it's packaged as family friendly. People need to wake up.
And I understand parents don't want to rob their children
of joy, wonder, imagination and memories. We love our children.
We want them to laugh and to dream and to
enjoy life. Love is not passive. Love discern danger before
danger fully reveals itself. So a parent would never knowingly
hand poison to a child simply because the bottle looked
colorful or harmless. In the same way, you cannot ignore
spiritual influence simply because it's wrapped in Disney music and
nostalgia and humor and childhood emotion. Once you see it,
that the silence becomes harder to justify. And that's the
thing moving on with these things, you know, people who
say we need to change. You can't remain silent. If
you see something wrong, you have to stand up for it.
Right like today, what did we see? A pastor in
Northern Ireland got arrested for reading scripture outside of a hospital.
This is where we're headed. So again, you know, I
could go on and on the world mocks discernment, called
extreme and an overreaction. The Christians were never called to
blend in comfortably into a corrupt culture. We were called
to stand up or to stand apart from it. Right first,
Peter five eight says, be sober, Be vigilant, because your
adversary the devil. Because your adversary, the devil, as a
roaring lion, walketh about seeking whom he may devour. And
you can bet that he's in that Disney film room
trying to corrupt your children. So just know this went
on with COVID, this goes on on a daily basis,
This goes on in the education system. And I'm going
to leave it with this, your child, that the fight
for your child's mind is real, and it happens every day.
The fight for their heart is real, the fight for
their soul is real. And in a generation that is
drowning in distractions, fantasy, spiritual confusion, parents have to be
the watchman at the gate and listen. I know this
is a very important podcast today with Ruby Ridge. But
the Lord really spoke to me to start this series,
and we're going to see if people really want to
change the world, because you know, in the world, in
my fifty six and nine tenth years on this earth,
people love to complain, but rarely do they want to
do something about it. So we're going to see and
again we're going to close out. Thank you for your patients.
I didn't realize we're already forty five minutes in. I
really hope you enjoyed that or it resonated with it. Shulton.
I don't know if enjoys the right word, but you know,
this event really woke a lot of people up and
was the birth of a lot of militias, which again
for all the people who scream were free. Just look
at the Constitution and our Bill of Rights. That Second
Amendment is supposed to guarantee us the freedom to have militious,
well regulated militias to protect ourselves from a tyrannical government
so we can have our freedom right. The whole story
about you know, walking away from England and their taxes
and what they paid back then and what we paid
a day, it's not even close. And now you go
on YouTube, just thousands of videos every week released about
you know, police overstepping just doing my job and again,
I'm not here to batter the police or you know.
It's the system, and that's what we're going to be
talking about. It's the system going on people's property. Guy
has a gun, sir, I'm going to disarm you for
my safety. You're going on someone's property with a gun
on his hip. And as you question this guy, you're
taking him. You're taking his gun. His protection is from
the government. If you take his gun, he cannot protect himself.
He did nothing wrong. And this is just one exact
I saw this video this morning after we were done
taking care of the chickens, having my coffee, finish my
devotional I'm watching YouTube. I'll usually watch something in the
morning just to get going. And it was this cop
who got fired because you know the new thing now,
it's for their safety. They took the guy's gun on
his property. As far as safety, I'm just gonna hold
it for you and I'm gonna ask you a few questions.
Everything's good, I'll give it back to you. That's not
how it's supposed to work. How are you defending the
constitution when you're trampling it, and then the new thing
is I'm going to detain you, and they put you
in handcuffs. I will tell you what if I ever
get detained in handcuffs. I am not a I've never
sued anybody in my life, but I'll tell you what
if you put me in handcuffs to quote detain me.
Of course, you know many of these people, I understand
they put themselves in this situation. And unfortunately, there's so
many reasons into the system why we have our criminal
problems today. Single parent homes, broken families, no church, no foundation,
no spiritual foundation, no moral compass. When somebody back in
the day when they did something, you know, you stole
a horse, you were hung in a public square. So
you know, now I saw a guy he killed his
wife and a lot more of the things that I'm
not going to say on this podcast, but something he
should have probably never seen the light of day. He
got twenty years. He will be eligible for Pearl and
twenty forty five and he was like twenty five years old.
And it's just amazing to me. If there's no deterrent,
people are going to continue. Delaware, like many of the
states out there in New York California kind of catch
and release right on their own recognizance. So if there's
no right, mom tells you not to have a cookie
before dinner, you get caught with a cookie. If she
just rolls her eyes, you're just going to continue to
eat that cookie. But my folks, you know, you get
a belt across the bottom. And I'm not telling you
to beat your kids. I'm just saying I lived in
a different world. I knew better, I knew there was consequences,
and all of those things combined kind of add up
to where we are today. But the Ruby Ridge standoff,
this siege of the Weaver family is very you know,
upsetting took place in Idaho in August of nineteen ninety two.
On August twenty first of nineteen ninety two, deputies of
the United States Marshall Service. Once again, it's the federal
government getting involved. Came to arrest now, you got to
pay attention. Came to arrest Randy Weaver under a bench
warrant for his failure to appear on federal firearms charges
after he was given the wrong court date. So they
set him up. Now, the charges stemmed from weaver sale
of a sawt off shotgun to an undercover federal informant
who entrapped him into modifying the firearm. It wasn't like
a quarter of an inch below the legal barrel length.
And again, this is your government tax dollars at work.
And again who do we answer to these? And this
is all part of the matrix. Now, during a pre
arrest surveillance operation, Officer Art Roderick shot Randy Weaver's dog
when it ran at them, and then pointed his rifle
at Weaver's fourteen year old son, Samuel, who was armed
again on his property in extremely rural Idaho. So what
does Samuel do while he fires back? And then this
fourteen year old was shot in the back and killed.
Then there was an exchange of fire which looked to
be frank. I think most people in our situations would,
if you were found in this unfortunate situation, do what
you needed to do to defend your family. And in
the ensuing exchange of fire, Weaver's friend Kevin Harris, shot
and killed Deputy Marshall Francis Deacon Junior. Subsequently, Weaver, Harris,
and Weaver's immediate family refused to surrender. So what do
they do? They bring in the HRT or the Hostage
Rescue Team of the FBI, because why not top off
government and competence with more government and competence. So the
siege was on, and in the standoff, FBI sniper Lou
I'm sorry, Ln Horiucci shot Weaver, then shot Harris, but sadly,
as many of you know, the second shot also hit
and killed Randy Weaver's wife, Vicky, blindly through a doorway.
The conflict was ultimately resolved by so villion negotiators, including
veteran activist Bo Gritz, who eventually convinced them to surrender,
and Harris's surrendered on August thirtieth, and Weaver and his
three daughters surrendered the next day, and extensive litigation followed,
and initially Weaver and Harris were tried on a variety
of federal criminal charges, including the first degree murder of
Degan Now In the successful defense, Weaver's attorney Jerry Spence
accused the agencies that were involved of criminal wrongdoing. Of course,
the FBI, the military, I'm sorry, the Marshall Services, and
of course the clowns at the ATF. Boy, we need
to do a podcast on those guys soon. And the
US Attorney's Office in Idaho. Now, Harris and Weaver were
acquitted of all the charges. I think the only thing
they got Weaver on was a bail term failing to
appear in court. But it's small potatoes, and the Weaver
family and Harris both filed civil suits and ninety five
shortly after Oklahoma City. Actually the Weavers won a little
over three million dollars. Harris was awarded three hundred and
eighty thousand in September of two thousand. But the behavior
of the government agents during these events drew a lot
of scrutiny, and at the end of Weaver's trial, the
Department of Justice, Justice's pardoning Office of Professional Responsibility. Of course,
what do they do. They form a task force, right,
the Ruby Ridge Task Force, and you know Senate Subcommittee
on Terrorism, Technology, Government Information, and on and on and on.
But it was one of the just most heinous acts
against you know, a civilian. And here's Randy Weaver. He
was a former Iowa factory worker. He was an Army veteran.
He moves his He moved his wife and four children
from Iowa to northern Idaho in the eighties so they
could homeschool his children and escape what they described and
what we all see as a corrupted world. That's what
I did. I got out of the city, got just
a little bit of land in the rural area. We homeschool.
We just want to be left alone. And they antagonized
these people. They killed their dog, killed their wife. Just
unbelievab and of course they tried to play them off
the same way that they tried to play off the
folks at Waco. And it's really sad. And there's a
couple of articles I wanted to address about this. This
one was written a couple of years ago. It's on
lou Rockwell. I had the author I was from ammo
dot com. That's where I found it from, and it
was written in August of twenty nineteen. But the Siege
at Ruby Ridge is often considered a pivotal date in
American history, and it truly is. It really reshaped the
narrative how America saw the government going forward. The shootout
between Randy Weaver and his family and federal agents is
one that kicked off what it is formally known as
the Constitutional Militia movement, and it really left Americans with
a deep distrust of its leadership. And again this was
the end pardon me of HW. Poppy Bush's term. We
know Waco in Oklahoma City twa eight hundred. All that
happened under Clinton, his buddy. He passed the torch to
Janet Reno and it's the same people, right, But you
know the short version. Randy Weaver and his wife moved
out to the Idaho Panhandle near the Canadian border. Again,
they wanted to get away what they saw a corrupt world.
They were not involved in any violent activity or rhetoric.
They considered themselves and they were by all accounts, peaceful
Christians who simply wanted to be left alone. But of
course they would portray him as you know, these religious fanatics.
That's how they always framed them, and again specifically for
his beliefs. Randy Weaver was targeted by the ATF and
in this entrapping sting operation, it was designed to gain
his cooperation as a snitch. Well, of course, he refused
to become a federal informant, so he was charged with
illegally selling firearms and again due to a miscommunication about
his court date, the Marshall Service was brought in, who
laid siege to his house and shot and killed his
fourteen year old son. And you know, by all accounts
it was a typical American. He grew up in Iowa
farming community, got decent grades in high school, played football,
you know, went to church every Sunday, dropped out of
community college, joined the Army in nineteen seventy, and after
three years of service, he was honorably discharged. One month later,
he married Victoria Jordanson. He then enrolled in the University
of Northern Iowa, studying criminal justice with an I. This
is the interesting part. He wanted to become an FBI agent,
but he dropped out because tuition was too expensive. Boy,
I can you know we should do a podcast on
that sometime, the criminality of how much it cost to
get an education in this country. But he ended up
working in a John Deere plant while his wife worked
as a secretary before becoming a homemaker. Both of the
Weavers increasingly became They used the term apocalyptic in their
view world right end times eschatology, if you will. This,
combined with an increasing emphasis on Old Testament based Christianity,
led them to seek a life away from mainstream America,
a life of self reliance. A Vicky in particular, she
had strong visions of her family surviving the apocalypse through
life far away from what they viewed as a corrupt world.
And to that end, Randy purchased twenty acres in Ruby Ridge,
Idaho and built a cabin there. They got twenty acres
for five thousand dollars and they moved there. They homeschooled
the children there, and after moving to Ruby Ridge, Weaver
became acquainted with members of the Aryan Nations in nearby
Hayden Lake. He did, by all accounts, attend some rallies.
Pardon me. The FBI believed his involvement in the church
was much deeper than it actually was. They thought he
was a regular congregant of the Aryan Nations and had
attended the Aryan Nations World Congress. Now, both Randy and
Vicki were actually interviewed by the FBI seven years before
this ever went down, and Randy denied membership, and he
cited many, many theological differences. Right, just because I visit
a Pentecostal church doesn't make me a Pentecostal, Right, And
you know, I'm just using I'm just throwing that out
there as an example. But the Weavers who Look, they
did have some agreement with the Aryan nations. Mostly it
was about the importance of the Old Testament. Right, they
use the term Yeshua and that type of you know,
the Torah, the Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus numbers due toonomy, almost
like you see the Messianics today. Right. They saw their
affiliation with the Aryan nation as a social outlet, living
off grid. The nearby members of the Aryan nations were
neighbors in remote northern Idaho. So later in nineteen eighty six,
Randy was approached at a rally by an undercover ATF
informant by the name of Kenneth Fader, and he used
a biker alter ego of Gus Magisano and was currently
monitoring investigating Weaver's friend Frank Kumnick, and fatterly introduced himself
as an illegal firearms dealer from New Jersey. Now Randy
later encountered fatally at the World Congress of nineteen eighty seven.
Now he skipped the next year's Congress to run for
County sheriff, an election that he lost, And boy, you
think about how things would have changed if he would
have won that election. The ATF claims that nineteen eighty nine,
Fatally purchased two illegally shortened shotguns from Randy Weaver. However,
Weaver disputes this, saying that the shotguns he sold were
entirely legal and were shortened after the fact, and the
notes from the case show that Fatally purchased the guns
and showed Weaver where to shorten them, which would constitute
illegal entrapment. What's more, the government preyed on the destitute
nature of the Weavers. Again, this family who lived in
a small cabin in the woods, no electricity, no running water,
They preyed upon them. The real purpose of the investigation
was not to grab Weaver, but they wanted to use
him to infiltrate a group in Montana that was being
organized by Charles Hollworth. Now in November of eighty nine,
Weaver refused to introduce Fatally to Howorth. Howorth, I'm sorry,
and Fatally was ordered by his handlers to have no
further contact with Weaver. So Weaver's like, no, I'm not
going to be a government snitch, and by June of
ninety Fatally's cover was blown and it was then that
the ATF reached out to Weaver right they played their
trump card, if you will, They said, we have evidence
that you were dealing illegal firearms, and they told him, look,
Randy will drop all charges if you just come and
agree to be our new informant regarding the investigation of
the Aryan Nations group in the area. Weaver said no,
thanks hard pass. So to coerce him to change his mind,
the Feds stage this stunt where a broken down couple
were at the side of the road. Weaver stopped to
help them and was handcuffed, thrown face down in the snow,
and was arrested. He had to post his home as bond,
and he still refused to become a federal informant. So
the irony of the federal government's desire to obtain informants
within the Aryan Nations is that different branches of federal
law enforcement and intelligence gathering occupied five of the six
key positions in the organization. That means that the Aryan
Nations were effectively a government run shop, with agents spying
on each other to ensure the integrity of their own
investigation into an organization that was almost entirely run by
the federal government itself. The government had an obsession with
the Aryan Nations due to Robert J. Matthews, who was
a member of the Order, a terrorist organization including the
members of the Aryan Nations, and of course, the FBI's
hostage Rescue team burned Matthews alive inside his own home.
I say again, the FBI hr TIS burned Matthews alive
inside of his own home. Don't forget to pay your taxes, folks.
Due to his ongoing refusal to snitch, Weaver was then
arrested in January of nineteen ninety one on illegal firearms
sales charges, and these charges stend from Weaver's earlier sale
of two shortened shotguns to fatally remember the undercover ATF agent,
a sale of which the FEDS later admitted constituted illegal entrapment.
So Weaver's court date was set for February nineteenth, nineteen
ninety one, but they changed to the next day. Weaver
received notice that his court date had been moved till
March twentieth, so he missed his court date and they
put out a bench warrant for his arrest, and the
United States Marshall Service wanted to allow Weaver the chance
to appear for what he thought thought was his court date. However,
the United States Attorney's Office sought a grand jury indictment
on March fourteenth, six days before his notice that he
was doing court. Already skeptical of the Feds after their
repeated strong arm tactics. Right, remember, thrown down face face
down in the snow and arrested, and everything the government
has done to this man and his family has to
put his home and his property up for bond all
of a sudden, You think he's going to trust the government. Yeah,
he trusted the government like he trusted a submarine with
a screen door. Already skeptical, Randy and Vicki saw this
as further evidence that the Weavers would not receive a
fair trial. They increasingly isolated themselves on their Ruby Ridge farm,
and they vowed to fight rather than surrender peacefully. Now,
during the standoff, a voluntary surrender date was negotiated with
the US Marshall Service for over of ninety one, but
the US Army, I'm sorry, the US Attorney's Office refused
the settlement. The deputy director of the Special Operations Group
of the Marshall Service, all right, that's quite the title.
Using evidence obtained through surveillance believed that the best course
of action was to drop the indictment, issue a new
one and use undercover agents to arrest Weaver, who presumably
would have dropped his guard, and that was rejected. Now
we come full circle to August twenty first, nineteen ninety two.
Six heavily armed camouflaged US Marshals went to the Weaver
property with the purpose of reconnaissance, and of course, the
Weaver's dogs gave away their positions, alerting their fourteen year
old son, Sammy and twenty four year old friend of
the family, Kevin Harris. They went to investigate what the
dogs were barking at while they were carrying their weapons
on their property. Unsurprisingly, there are several accounts of how
the shooting began. The Weavers claim that the camouflaged marshals
fired first and refused to identify themselves. The Marshals claim
that when they rose to identify themselves, they were fired
on by Sammy and Kevin. And yet another version, Marshals
shot the weavers dog striker as he exposed their position,
and then were fired upon by Sammy in retaliation. But
once the shooting began, Randy weaversun Sammy was shot in
the back by marshals immediately after yelling I'm coming Dad,
as he was running back to the house, so that
is to say he was fl the scene. He was
not regrouping for another attack, and he was shot in
the back a fourteen year old. After this initial exchange,
the FBI's hostage a rescue team due to their they
were called in to assess the situation. They brought in
sniper and observer teams. Just a sniper aimed for an
instant kill shot on Randy, but Randy moved just as
the sniper was pulling the trigger and the shot entered
his shoulder exited his armpit. He then fled back to
the house or yeah, back to the house from the
shed where he had been viewing the body of his
dead son. There was a second shot that missed Kevin Harris,
that hit Vicky in the head, who was holding their
ten month old daughter at the time in her arms.
Very powerful image often invoked in the telling of the story,
and again the same second shot hit Harris after exiting VICKI.
An internal investigation found that the second shot was out
of policy and that the failure to request surrender was inexcusable.
FBI sniper ln Hryucci fired through a door without seeing
who was on the other side at people who were
fleeing and posed absolutely positively no threat. He was charged
with manslaughter, but of course the charges were dropped. Marucci
was also you can't make the stuff up. Was also
involved in the Waco siege, and Timothy Vey printed up
cards for gun shows encouraged people to target him. Indeed,
McVeigh considered target ding Haruci and his family. I think
that's more fodder. Obviously, McVeigh was a government agent again
for the eighty sixth time you can't be on General
Sharp's cost PSD and turned out to be mister crazy
pants now. So again the rules of engagement were changed
on the fly to effectively encourage shooting anyone on site.
This included the remaining Weaver children, and once the siege began,
none of the Weavers fired shot. The standoff lasted ten days,
involved between three hundred and fifty to four hundred agents,
and they named their camp Camp Vicky. They would routinely
call out Vicky, we have blueberry pancakes. Of course, they
claimed to know that they didn't know she was dead.
During that time, there was supporters of the Weavers and
opponents of the government. They formed a vigil Weaver's CEO
from Vietnam, commanding Officer Bo Gritz, who was if you remember,
he was running for president on the Populist Party ticket.
He became a mediator between the family and the government agents.
Even Paul Harvey loved Paul Harvey right now, the rest
of the story. Paul Harvey, good day. He intervened, offering
to pay for a defense for Weaver if he surrendered.
He was willing to finance the best defense money could buy,
and this what led Weaver to abandon the standoff and
finally surrender himself to federal authorities. You know, tip of
the cap to Paul Harvey. You know, go back and
listen to his If I were the Devil on YouTube.
It's five minutes. So the aftermath, Weaver was charged with
ten counts, including the original charges. His attorney, Jerry Spence,
successfully defended him, and we spoke about what what came
about of it and his trial. It is worth noting
again that the federal government took active steps to cover
their tracks after Ruby Ridge Pardon me, the chief of
the Bureau's violent Crimes and Major Offender Section, pled guilty
to attempting to destroy all copies of the FBI's internal report.
Now again, it is noted that some people think that
there was some important documents in the Murraw building. We'll
leave it at that. Federal Judge Edward Lodge penned a
lengthy list of misdeeds, including fabrication of evidence and refusing
to comply with court orders. Devil Patrick, then Assistant Attorney
General for Civil Rights and governor of Massachusetts, later found
that federal aid had not used excess as force of
course not the government's not going to find it self guilty.
But one of the biggest changes after Ruby Ridge was
the change in the rules of engagement. October of ninety five,
the Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology and Government Information ordered
all federal agencies to standardize their rules of engagement. Randy
and his daughter wrote a book ninety eight, The Federal
Siege at Ruby Ridge. And what's interesting to me is
they went and moved to Calispell, Montana. And that's where
Pastor Chuck Baldwin preaches Callispell, Montana Liberty Fellowship, and they
became born again Christians. In twenty twelve, and they actually
forgave the agents and predictably very little meaningful blowback on
the Marshal Service or anyone in the federal government. The
Ruby Ridge Task Force delivered a highly redacted, shocking, I know,
five hundred and forty two page report. The six marshals
involved in the initial shootout were given the highest commendations
awarded by the US Marshal Service. I say again, the
six marshals involved in the initial shootout were given the
highest commendations awarded by the US Marshal Service. In nineteen
ninety seven, the Justice Department declined to prosecute senior FBI
officials for covering up the details of the case. Two
FBI agents were prosecuted. One served eighteen months in prison
for destruction of evidence and the other had the charges dismissed.
The second in command of the FBI was demoted, and
three other agents were suspended very light for what happened
to that family. In nineteen ninety six, Weaver offered his
services to diffuse tensions between the FBI and Montana Freeman.
It was declined. In two thousand, Weaver visited the former
site of the Branch Davidian Church that had been destroyed
in another high profile siege, and he later offered support
to Edward and Elaine Brown. That was a big resisting
of tax story at the time. So you know, there
you go. We'll leave it at that. You know, it's
really a sad state. It's one of those things that
you know, we need to talk about. We need to
remind our children and our grandchildren that there's a reason
we have to keep the government in check. We answer
to God, not to man. I think the government is
important to have in place, to be a mediator for people.
I think we can all agree that we'd like to
have our potholes fixed and not have people doing fifty
miles an hour down our streets. And we have some
wonderful first responders, awesome first responders. You know, I remember
getting hit by a drunk driver and how fast they
were there to take care of me and my family
many many moons ago. But there's also a lot of
corruption to and that's in every walk of life, every
walk of life. So that's it for today, remembering Ruby
Ridge and being a little more observant when it comes
to Disney. So there you go, God bless you would
just stop buy our website Foundations and faith dot Net.
