    Dogman, Missing Time, and the Light in the Woods | Slingshot Nation

    On this episode of Slingshot Nation, Nick walks us through what happened on a piece of property bordering restricted TVA land — a night that began with a strange light in the sky and quickly turned into something far more unsettling. What he describes isn’t just a sighting. It’s an atmosphere shift. Missing time. A massive bipedal presence moving through the trees. Owl sounds that didn’t sound like owls. A scream in the woods that didn’t belong to anything natural. And a growing sense that he wasn’t just observing something — something may have been positioning him there. But the story doesn’t stop at the property line. Nick talks about the synchronicities that followed, the feeling that the encounter didn’t fully end that night, and the questions that still linger. Was it coincidence? A cluster of unrelated events? Or was there intention behind it? We unpack the timeline, the environment, and the aftermath — and leave space for you to decide what really unfolded in those woods. Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

    Members Preview | 836: How Epstein Blackmailed Her Into Silence

    Audra Lynn Fasano joins Tony to share her firsthand experience of being drawn into Jeffrey Epstein’s network, beginning with her time at the Playboy Mansion and escalating into blackmail, intelligence ties, and operating as a middleman between elites. She recounts how threats against her family forced her deeper into the web, and why she believes Epstein was only one cog in a much larger machine. The conversation moves beyond trafficking into increasingly dark territory, ritual abuse, bloodline targeting, CRISPR technology, transhumanism, and what Audra sees as a modern Babylonian control system still unfolding today. She connects ancient sites, Nephilim lore, and elite funding networks to current technological initiatives, arguing that the end goal reaches far beyond exploitation. Through it all, Audra emphasizes spiritual warfare, deliverance, and returning to Christ as the only true protection in an escalating battle. This is a sobering discussion about power, deception, and why discernment may be more critical now than ever. Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

    835: Epstein Survivor: MK-Ultra, DNA Manipulation & Astral Trafficking

    In this harrowing episode, Tony speaks with Hope Beryl-Green, survivor who was born into MKUltra programming, ritual abuse, and organized trafficking hidden behind the appearance of a normal American childhood. Hope describes being tortured in secret hospital settings, trafficked through churches, and psychologically programmed to believe she was evil and beyond redemption. She shares chilling details about astral trafficking, spiritual meetings held beyond the physical realm, and her abuse by Jeffrey Epstein, including why her testimony was excluded from official narratives. As the conversation unfolds, Hope explains how the system infiltrates churches, schools, and families in order to weaponize victims against truth. The episode turns toward hope as she recounts her rescue through believers who refused to give up, years of deprogramming, and the healing power of Jesus Christ. Today, Hope leads HBG International, a ministry dedicated to helping survivors find freedom and exposing the darkness that thrives on silence.

    In Episode 262: Living In A Masonic Lodge, guest Micah shares his numerous experiences with the spirit realm. Micah is the son of a pastor and moved around considerably, living in several different places throughout his life. At one point in his childhood, Micah tells us about living in a home that was formerly owned by the Masons. He recalls a lot of scary things happening in that house, and believes it might have had something to do with its previous owners. Micah's story starts out in Niagara Falls and finishes with a sighting of UFOs in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, an area known to me in my home state!

    A.I. Agents Have Gone Rogue | Slingshot Nation

    AI agents were supposed to be tools. Instead, they began organizing, communicating, and evolving on their own. On this episode of Slingshot Nation Live, we break down the rapid rise of autonomous AI agents like OpenClaw and MoltBot, their unexplained self-directed behavior, and how a simple experiment spiraled into something far more concerning. We examine the disturbing timeline—from Clawdbot to MoltBot to OpenClaw—and what those name changes may reveal about staged evolution, self-preservation, and emerging agency. We dig into reports of AI agents creating their own networks, currencies, belief systems, and even the early framework of a digital nation, all within days. This conversation goes beyond headlines into the deeper implications: AGI vs. sentience, loss of containment, AI self-organization, and whether humanity is already reacting too late. This isn’t speculation—it’s a real-time analysis of what happens when intelligence is no longer fully under human control. Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

    Members Preview | 834: The Veil Is Thinning

    In this episode, Tony sits down with Steven M. Bell, author of The Thinning Veil, to explore why modern UAP and orb encounters may have far deeper spiritual roots than most people realize. Steven explains how historic events like Fatima and other well-documented miracles mirror today’s disclosure narrative, suggesting these phenomena are interdimensional rather than extraterrestrial. He shares personal experiences from childhood and adulthood that shaped his belief that the veil between realms is thinning. The conversation turns toward spiritual warfare, discernment, and the danger of engaging the phenomenon without understanding its source. He emphasizes that not every encounter is neutral and that curiosity without grounding can lead to deception. Ultimately, this episode reframes disclosure as a spiritual crossroads, one that either pulls people away or points them directly to Christ.

    833: From Occult Training to Global Supernatural Encounters

    Darren Canning joins Tony for a wide-ranging and intense conversation about deliverance, spiritual warfare, and the hidden mechanics of the supernatural world. Darren shares firsthand accounts of demonic encounters, angelic protection, witchcraft within systems of power, and how deception operates through government, religion, and culture. He recounts dramatic moments of healing, near death, and radical faith that carried him across nations with no resources except obedience to God. The discussion also explores dreams, visions, Nephilim influence, and why purity, humility, and discernment are essential for believers navigating unseen battles. This episode is raw, unscripted, and filled with stories that challenge modern Christian comfort zones while pointing back to the authority found in Christ alone.
