It's the last of our Best of 2025 and the final Bunker of the year! And how better to see off/kick out the year than with the thing that's blighted the last twelve months, crappy artificial intelligence imagery? The far-right stuffs your feeds with blond white children at play, London as an open sewer patrolled by threatening migrants, and Trump as Superman – but why? Is A.I. slop the official art style of the new authoritarianism? New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie talks to Andrew Harrison about why the radical right loves shiny, sentimental images; how they connect to Hitler's fascist kitsch; and what it means when reality doesn't live up to your fantasies. patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Andrew Harrison.

ENOCH'S TOUR of the spirit realm continues with a view of the throne room of God. He describes the four archangels—Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Phanuel—and their responsibilities. Interestingly, Phanuel is the archangel believed to fend off “the satans” to keep them from approaching God to “accuse them who dwell on the earth.” Apparently, there were Jews during the Second Temple period who believed that there were multiple satans (“accusers” or “adversaries”), a concept most Christians today find odd to say the least.  Our purpose in going through the Book of 1 Enoch is to better understand the theological background of the New Testament. Although there are good reasons 1 Enoch is not in the Bible, there are clear links between 1 Enoch and New Testament theology. Sharon's niece, Sarah Sachleben, has been diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer, and the medical bills are piling up. If you are led to help, please go to GilbertHouse.org/hopeforsarah.

TERRORISTS SHOT and killed 15 people in Australia last weekend. Contrary to the media narrative, this is another example of the long conflict between Islam and the world. The history of Islam's relations with non-Muslims over the last 1,400 years is violent. Unlike most other religions, the rewards promised to Muslims are carnal—physical pleasures, in this world or the next. Also: Steven Spielberg's forthcoming film Disclosure Day brings the idea of “first contact” with ETIs back to the forefront of pop culture. From a Christian perspective, humans have been visited by non-human entities for millennia, and first contact took place in Eden.

personal.Nl: De presentatie was levendig en memorabel.En: The presentation was lively and memorable.Nl: Dus, in het koude licht van de bunker, leerde Lieke dat flexibiliteit even waardevol is als voorbereiding.En: So, in the cold light of the bunker, Lieke learned that flexibility is as valuable as preparation.Nl: Soms moet je de geschiedenis laten spreken, zonder plan, maar vanuit het hart.En: Sometimes you have to let history speak, without a plan, but from the heart.Nl: Samen met Bram en Sanne keerde ze tevreden terug naar de wereld boven, waar kerstlichten vrolijk fonkelden in

Not long ago, China's pandemic response was met with deep scepticism in the West. But fast-forward just a few years, and the picture looks very different. China's bio-pharma industry is now booming, racing from low-cost manufacturing hub to serious contender in the global battle to create the next blockbuster drugs. China is rolling out vast new pharma facilities capable of producing next-generation medicines at a scale the West is struggling to match. Today on The Bunker, Gavin Esler speaks to the FT's China Technology Correspondent, Eleanor Olcott, to find out what this means for global drug development, competition, and who controls the future of medicine.

For more than a decade, Tommy Robinson has been written off again and again. Yet he keeps re-emerging, reshaped for the moment. From street agitator to convicted criminal to most recently, self-styled Christian crusader. Robinson has followed a familiar far-right playbook: collapse, reinvention, repeat.  On The Bunker, Alex von Tunzelmann is joined by journalist Daniel Trilling to examine the staying power of Tommy Robinson and the strategy that keeps bringing him back. We look at the warning signs we missed and what Robinson's latest reinvention reveals about the durability, adaptability and danger of Britain's far-right ecosystem.

When it came time to decide what to follow up our 100th episode, the guys made a comment that we should interview a prominent podcaster and blogger in the vintage camera realm.  With a long list of guests already, we thought hard about who we've missed, who is one person who has helped grow GAS as much as any one single person can?  Anthony spoke up and said, "Hey, it should be Mike"!  While I had my doubts about how interesting a whole episode about me could be, I thought that I do like to tell stories, why why not?! Joining Anthony, Paul, Stephen, Theo, and Mike this, our 101st episode are returning callers A.J. Gentile, David Palumbo, Fernando Villava, Ira Cohen, Mark Faulkner, Pat Casey, Rob Lattimer, William Ponder, and Will Pinkham. Over the course of the episode, I field a variety of questions from how I got started, what is my while whale camera, what cameras never clicked for me, what was an example of a camera that I felt overwhelmed trying to shoot.  Paul gets me to revisit my 2023 trip to Los Angeles when I went through the collection of Kurt Ingham and what it was like going through such a large collection.   We get into camera accessories, especially how difficult it is to adapt Kilfitt lenses and that the "Rear Window" Kilfitt lens was never made specifically with an Exakta mount, we talk about what is a good first camera is, and we get into how I am resisting the urge to collect carbon filament light bulbs and Nixie Tubes. Amazingly, we make it through the nearly 2 hour run time without repeating too much of what's been covered before, and while doing so managed to cover a whole lot of GAS! As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you!  Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show.  We LOVE people who are into shooting or collecting cameras, no matter how long you've been doing it, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining! The guys and I rarely know where each episode is going to go until it happens, so if you'd like to join us on a future episode, be sure to look out for our show announcements on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, the Camerosity Discord server, and right here on mikeeckman.com. We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. We will be back shortly with our next episode, which is going to be two days before Christmas.  We'll call this one our "holiday eggnog episode" where we recap the year and open up the call in lines for whatever you all want to talk about.  Episode 102 will be recorded on Tuesday, December 23rd at 7pm Central Standard Time and 8pm Eastern Standard Time.  Make sure you set your calendars and look out for the show announcement at the usual locations and be prepared to join us!

CHRISTIAN ORACLES. Is that even a thing? Apparently there were early Christians who adapted writings attributed to the Sibyls, prophetesses who channeled messages from the “gods.” What do we make of this? Our esteemed panel, Dr. Judd Burton (BurtonBeyond.net), author of Interview With the Giant; Doug Van Dorn (DouglasVanDorn.com), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods; and Brian Godawa (Godawa.com), best-selling author of the theological thriller Cruel Logic, and two new novels based on the period of the Maccabees in Judea, discuss the historical context, significance, and the interplay between pagan and Christian thought found in the Sibylline Oracles.  We discuss the role of the Sibyls as ancient prophetesses, the legend of Nero Redivivus, and the implications of women as prophets in these texts. We also examine the cultural dynamics of the early church and how the Sibylline Oracles reflect messianic expectations and the incarnation of Christ.  Overall, the discussion highlights the complexity and richness of these ancient writings and their relevance to understanding early Christian theology. 

From 9/11 and the wars that followed to the expenses scandal, the Financial Crash, austerity, Brexit and a carousel of leadership crises, Westminster has spent the last 25 years governing through upheaval. Since 2000, crisis has shifted from disruption to default setting, with governments reacting rather than governing and institutions stretched well beyond their limits. Prof. Andrew Hindmoor, author of Haywire, talks to Zoë Grünewald about how British politics got stuck in crisis mode and what we can do about it. 

Ron takes listeners on a wide-ranging conversation that links America's past to its present — from classic TV sitcoms to today's political battles. Drawing parallels between All in the Family's Archie Bunker and modern MAGA politics, Ron explores how culture once forced hard conversations into American living rooms — and what's changed since, revisiting a CBS Sunday Morning segment from 2010 featuring Rob Reiner.The show also digs into the high-stakes fight over voting rights, with Lauren Groh-Wargo of Fair Fight Action warning about the potential fallout if the Supreme Court weakens the Voting Rights Act. Plus, CBS News business analyst Jill Schlesinger breaks down what rising unemployment numbers really mean for everyday Americans, and Dr. T. Jamison Brewer of the University of North Georgia weighs in on the growing push against “wokeness” in higher education.A WaPo letter to the editor openly asks "are we the bad guys?" "Telling conservatives to stop being bigots is admitting they're bigots. And I'm pretty sure a professor of jurisprudence telling them to cut it out isn't going to work. Hey, you guys — stop being bigots!" The letter writer cites Robert P. George's piece stating that as much as conservatives want to be a "big tent" party, they have to draw a line against white supremacy, antisemitism, eugenics, the subjugation of women, and other forms of ideological extremism and bigotry.Tune in to catch the Ron Show weekdays from 4-6pm Eastern time on Georgia NOW!

Schlafen ist zentral für unser Überleben. In der Ukraine ist das kaum mehr möglich: 80 Prozent der Menschen in der Ukraine leiden an Schlafproblemen. Manche beginnen abzuwägen, was sich mehr lohnt: Ein paar Stunden Ruhe im ungeschützten Bett oder eine schlaflose Nacht im Bunker? In dieser Folge erzählt Stefan Günther von der jungen Mutter Olena und dem Soldaten Alex. Wie schaffen sie es, mitten im Krieg doch noch zu schlafen? Heutiger Gast: Stefan Günther Host: Simon Schaffer Stefans ganzen Text könnt ihr [in der NZZ nachlesen](https://www.nzz.ch/fotografie/schlafen-im-krieg-wie-geht-das-einblicke-aus-der-ukraine-ld.1912913).

Summary In this episode of the Summit podcast, Bob Turner hosts Mark and Michelle Bunker, who share their journey of building Bunker Building and Remodeling. They discuss the challenges and triumphs of working together as a couple in the construction business, the importance of communication, and the evolution of their definition of success. The Bunkers emphasize the significance of finding community and support, as well as the necessity of maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Their candid conversation offers valuable insights for couples navigating the complexities of business and marriage. Takeaways Mark never intended to start a business; it happened out of necessity. The transition from individual work to partnership was challenging but necessary. Communication is key in both business and personal relationships. Setting boundaries between work and home life is crucial for a healthy relationship. Success is not just about revenue; it's about personal fulfillment and happiness. Finding a supportive community can make a significant difference in business. Couples need to give 100% to each other in both marriage and business. It's important to learn from past mistakes and grow together. The Bunkers emphasize the importance of humor and positivity in tough situations. Investing in coaching and support can lead to personal and professional growth.   KeywordsBunker Building, Remodeling, Business Partnership, Communication, Success, Couples in Business, Work-Life Balance, Coaching, Community Support, Marriage  

Die Schweiz hat so viele Schutzbauten wie kaum ein anderes Land. Alle Einwohner sollen im Ernstfall Zuflucht finden. Doch Bunker allein reichen nicht, um die Bevölkerung zu schützen.

The stories that will shape the week ahead: How will the atrocity at Bondi Beach reverberate in a world where antisemitic violence is rising? Plus: the shocking murder of Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife. Junior doctors decide whether to strike as Britain hits peak winter flu. Will Phase Two of the Gaza peace talks stay on the rails? And happy 250th birthday to Jane Austin. Alex von Tunzelmann and Andrew Harrison set out the week ahead. 

ISAIAH WAS a wordsmith. And the Hebrew word he used translated “idols,” ʾĕlîlim, identifies the spiritual nature and origin of the idols he condemned. Dr. Christopher B. Hays, citing work of A. T. Clay published in 1907, identified the origin of ʾĕlîlim as the name of the Mesopotamian deity Ellil, which was the Akkadian form of the Babylonian/Sumerian god Enlil. As Derek documented in The Second Coming of Saturn, Ellil/Enlil was the equivalent of the Canaanite father-god El, and thus “the abomination of the Ammonites,” Milcom (i.e., Molech). He was also known as Assur, chief god of the Assyrians, Dagon of the Philistines, Kronos of the Greeks, Saturn of the Romans, and probably Osiris of the Egyptians, among others. We believe this entity is also Shemihazah, leader of the sons of God in Genesis 6, whose rebellion created the monstrous Nephilim, the spirits of which became demons upon their deaths in the Flood of Noah. Isaiah, then, was condemning not carved blocks of wood or stone, but the demonic spirits they represented—the “gods” of the pagans whom the kingdoms of Israel and Judah continued to worship. We'll see as we get deeper into the Book of Isaiah that the prophet understood the nature of the entities the Israelites were interacting with. The cult of the dead was alive and well in the time of Isaiah. Sharon's niece, Sarah Sachleben, has been diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer, and the medical bills are piling up.

PORTSMOUTH, ENGLAND has banned Christmas wreaths on the doors of council flats because they are allegedly a fire hazard—but they're OK inside the apartments. What?! The real reason is the secular city council doesn't want to see symbols of the season where Christians celebrate the birth of Christ.  Similarly, the leader of the largest far-left party in France, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, said this week, “Christianity is patriarchal, and women have to cover up and submit to men. In Islam, women submit to God only, therefore, their veil represents freedom and dignity.” It's obvious M. Mélenchon has never read the Quran or the Bible. But that's the direction government is going. In Canada, government is on the verge of criminalizing portions of the Bible, Quran, and Torah as hate speech as the religious exemption from hate-speech laws. We know such things are to be expected from secular globalist governments, but it's still disturbing when it's being rolled out in front of us.  Sharon's niece, Sarah Sachleben, was recently diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer, and the medical bills are piling up.

Wrapping up the stories of the week… Alex von Tunzelmann is joined by LBC host Natasha Devon to break down Keir Starmer's latest approach to tackling the migration crisis. Across the pond, we take a look at Trump's ongoing campaign against the EU and ask”why now”? Plus, Natasha shares her view on the proposed ban on social media for under-18s, we read your comments from the week, and finally we take a look at the stories that have gone under the radar.

Personality politics isn't just a modern problem – it started centuries earlier with an aristocrat called Charles James Fox. You can trace the roots of modern political celebrity back to this 18th-century provocateur, whose charm, scandals and theatrics helped redefine what leadership looked like. Fox built a movement around himself rather than his policies, offering an early blueprint for the dangerous style of politics reshaping democracies today. Alex von Tunzelmann speaks with Dr Callum Smith of Aberystwyth University about Fox's rise and how history helps us understand the dominance of modern figures like Trump and Farage.

It's a fine show this week, even if there are...tensions. El'Ahrai and John deliver big news up front about Netflix getting all spendy, plus a bunch of year-end awards were announced, and the opportunity to see something for the first time...again. Then big honkin' reviews of "Eternity" and "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You", plus video picks, questions, and the rest. You should listen! At least you found love, even if you can't get it. I've never been lucky enough to even know what the hell it is.

Nigel Farage continues to react furiously to growing allegations that he engaged in racist and antisemitic bullying when he was a pupil at Dulwich College in the late '70s and early '80s. But are his angry response and his attempts at diversion doing the real damage? And can you really judge an adult on what they may have done at school? Long-time Reform-watcher Michael Crick joins us to explore a crisis unlike anything Farage has faced before. His verdict? “Farage is as rattled as a baby's pram.” 

Far fewer people are getting into relationships than they were in the past, with a major rise in the amount of single people across the world. Why are we seeing this so-called “relationship recession”? And how can it impact us all?

THE PRIDE of a king who elevated himself above what God ordained left King Uzziah with a debilitating disease. Uzziah, also called Azariah, ruled the kingdom of Judah 792–742 BC. He was a good king for most of his reign until pride got the better of him. He dared to offer incense in the Temple, a function reserved for the priests. As a result, he was afflicted with leprosy the rest of his life. This week's question: What's the context of Joel 2:25:I will restore to you the yearsthat the swarming locust has eaten,the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter,my great army, which I sent among you.

The World Health Organization in October published a document promoting a global ID to track your vaccination status from birth. This proposal, which is funded by the Gates Foundation, is another of the WHO's efforts to become the de facto global government. The ID they want to impose on us would give it the power to use vaccination status as a qualifier for travel, education, and government services. We also discuss the US government's bold stance acknowledging that unrestricted immigration, which is coming primarily from Muslim nations, poses an existential threat to the West. This is obvious to anyone who's read world history going back to the 7th century, but most people haven't. We highly recommend the books of Dr. Timothy Furnish and Raymond Ibrahim, and especially Raymond's new book The Two Swords of Christ (https://amzn.to/48IByeV).

It's a Wizard shop Peter! Special guest this month Ben Potter joins Pete and Spoons to tell all about his exciting new venture, The Bunker collectibles shop, just opened in Hogwarts - err sorry, Royston near Barnsley in the frozen North. The show opens with a remembrance of poster artist Drew Struzan, who recently passed, and a chat about the lads' favourite posters. Rich expands the New Acquisitions section to take in any old tat, and there's another international Face-Off, taking in Croatia, Venezuela, Israel and the land of Dog Chow. Andy P hosts a colourful cardback quiz, and the NA shout-outs feature some tasty 32-backs, a cracking carnival mirror, a trio of vinyl capes, an exciting early bird, and a lovely lenticular poster. Rebel Briefings brings in stories from around the collecting world including fab food ads, a Toy Fair find, Boba's blaster, the final (sob!) Farthest From, featured finds from Vectis, and re-living Echo Live. Licensee this month is Burtons Biscuits, who produced a range of ‘Crisp biscuits sprinkled with mint sugar' in Star Wars packaging, popular with 80s kids in Britain. This sparks an outbreak of biscuity nostalgia among the lads, and cookie cravings. Plenty of Zollux and banter along the way, find the podcast in all the usual places.
