    853: Inside the Alien-Human Hybrid Agenda

    Something is being grown… and it’s learning how to be you. In this episode, Tony is joined by Ali Siadatan, who unpacks years of research into what he believes is a structured alien-human hybrid program operating behind the scenes. He describes a system where abductees are used in a controlled reproductive process, genetic material taken, pregnancies induced, and fetuses removed, only to be developed into hybrid beings off-world . But creation is only the beginning, as Ali explains how these hybrids are then trained through human interaction, learning emotions, relationships, and behavior by directly accessing the human mind . As the program advances, the focus appears to shift toward integration, with reports of hybrids being coached on how to live among us, obtaining identification, learning social norms, and blending into everyday society . What emerges is a chilling possibility: this isn’t just experimentation, it’s preparation. Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!

    Teen Game Opens Real Portal Doors (And Something Is Waiting Inside) | Slingshot Nation

    Millions are playing a viral "game" where someone guides you into a trance to walk through doors inside your own mind. They're calling it Red Door Yellow Door. Most think it's harmless. It isn't. On this Slingshot Nation Live, we break down where this ritual actually comes from, its direct roots in shamanic spirit journeying and occult trance work, and why people keep encountering the same dark entity behind those doors, a tall man in a suit no one told them to expect. We're also discussing how NASA's Artemis II just carried astronauts around the far side of the moon for the first time since 1972. The world cheered. But who is Artemis? Why does the space program keep reaching into ancient mythology, and what does that signal beyond the headlines? Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

    Members Preview | 852: He Died and Saw Heaven's Portals

    He died for 15 minutes… and says he stood in heaven, spoke with an angel, and was sent back with a message he couldn’t ignore. Tony sits down with Rich, a former Alaska public safety officer, whose story builds toward a near-death experience that changed everything. After his heart stopped during a medical procedure, Rich describes waking in a place of overwhelming light, standing on what looked like sapphire glass, surrounded by swirling, radiant particles and a towering angel who confirmed he was in heaven. He recounts being led toward God’s throne, witnessing portals opening in the sky with angels moving in and out, and encountering Jesus in a moment defined by power, clarity, and indescribable love. Though he didn’t want to return, he was sent back, only to wake on the table declaring that heaven is real. Along the way, his earlier experiences in Alaska, moving stars, unexplained disappearances, and encounters tied to strange entities in the wilderness, take on new meaning through a spiritual lens. This episode moves from mystery to revelation, pointing to a reality that may be far closer than we realize. Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

    851: The Near-Death Experience That Exposed The Second Heaven’s Mosh Pit of Chaos

    He died for 18 days… and what he saw changed everything. Gabe Poirot joins Tony to share the shocking moment a skateboard accident left him clinically dead, launching him into an encounter beyond the veil where he witnessed the chaos of the second heaven, the reality of spiritual warfare, and was ultimately drawn into the presence of Jesus Himself . What he describes isn’t symbolic, it’s a vivid account of leaving his body, being pulled through a war-filled spiritual realm, and standing before Christ, where fear, guilt, and shame were instantly erased by grace. The conversation unpacks what he saw about prayer, spiritual authority, and the unseen battle happening right now, along with the urgency of the time we’re living in. Sent back with a clear message, Gabe now shares what he believes people are missing: this life is not the full story, and the window to respond is closing faster than we think.

    RELOADED | 428: Childhood Abductions

    In Episode 428: Childhood Abductions we are talking with Robert. He has had a wild life of experiences with abductions where as a child he would be checked on by aliens only to be rejected because according to them he was "flawed." The police were called once because his parents were convinced their house was broken into but when the police narrowed the breaking and entering to Roberts's room he knew it wasn't a human that came in. He lived his whole life with the memories of these experiences and recently it all came full circle. Robert met his girlfriend's friend and this friend tells him that she too was abducted as a child. She also tells him that she recognizes him because when she was being abducted as a child the aliens would frequently stop at his house and she would see him through the window. This friend then proceeds to describe Robert's childhood home perfectly for him proving that she was present during his abductions.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.
