 TrineDay's The Journey Podcast 173. John Loftus. "Q" Clearance Warrior.In this episode, Publisher Kris Millegan and TrineDay's new assistant host, A. W. Finnegan, speak with guest John J. Loftus, author of America's Nazi Secret (Formerly The Belarus Secret), about his pioneering work in America's Nazi Secret, being the first to disclose the to the public the biological warfare connections to Lyme disease, which he had learned early on through his connections with the intelligence community, particularly through one of his biodefense sources, who also held a "Q" Clearance like him. Loftus and Finnegan discuss their getting to know each other and corresponding for several years during Finnegan's writing of The Sleeper Agent: The Rise of Lyme Disease, Chronic Illness, and the Great Imitator Antigens of Biological Warfare. They discuss some of the intricacies in the way these biological wars began in World War I and continued through today. John Loftus also discusses his upcoming memoir "My Clients Were Spies" about his time as an attorney for sources in the Intelligence Community hoping to get more information about certain events in American history declassified, like he had done with the material on OPERATION PAPERCLIP in the 1980s, which produced an appearance on 60 Minutes in 1982 that was nominated for an Emmy award.

Operation Paperclip Shadow Allies: The Hidden Nazi Legacy in America Explore the unsettling truth of how the United States, a nation that sacrificed nearly 200,000 lives fighting Nazis, paradoxically harbored Nazi war criminals post-World War II in "Shadow Allies: The Hidden Nazi Legacy in America". This podcast delves into the chilling revelations brought to light by John Loftus, a former Department of Justice prosecutor, who exposed how high-ranking U.S. officials defied presidential orders to smuggle Nazi collaborators into America. These individuals were granted sanctuary and citizenship in exchange for Soviet intelligence, weaving a dark tapestry of espionage and moral compromise that echoed through the corridors of power. Join us as we unravel the complex web of deceit, secret operations, and the ongoing impact of these actions on American soil. Engage with a story that challenges the very understanding of justice and morality in the shadow of the Cold War.(00:01-00:34) Nearly 200,000 Americans died fighting Nazis during WWII, yet many Nazis and collaborators were later brought to the U.S. as citizens. High-ranking U.S. officials, contrary to presidential directives, facilitated their entry for intelligence on the Soviet Union.(00:34-01:09) Hundreds of Nazi collaborators were secretly smuggled into the U.S. for intelligence purposes by the Office of Policy Coordination, a precursor to the CIA, established by the State Department's intelligence sector.(01:09-02:17) John Loftus, a former prosecutor with a high security clearance at the Department of Justice, revealed these operations. Despite efforts to prosecute Nazis, other government units were hiding these secrets, violating direct orders from Presidents Roosevelt and Truman.(02:51-04:02) Key Cold War figures like C.D. Jackson, Nelson Rockefeller, and Vice President Richard Nixon might have been aware of these operations, which involved granting citizenship and protection to war criminals for their knowledge and cooperation against the Soviets.(04:02-04:38) Initial Nazi advances in the Soviet Union were supported by local collaborators who later became instrumental to U.S. intelligence, leading to a complex legacy of espionage, betrayal, and moral compromise involving high-level U.S. and Soviet infiltration.

John Loftus (BT Young Scientist STEM Inspirations podcast, 8Radio Ireland) and Dr. Nicola Millard return to Flixwatcher to review John's choice RRR. RRR (2022) is an Indian Telugu-language action epic - it's runtime is three hours plus - directed by S. S. Rajamouli. The central story is fictional but based on historical figures. In this version of history, S. S. Rajamouli took the coincidences between real life Indian revolutionaries Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem and imagined what it would be like if they had met and become friends. Don't be fooled by the historical context in thinking RRR is going to be an accurate or remotely believable story. From the outset we are informed no animal were harmed, because they are CGI and completely ridiculous. It made history when the big musical number “Naatu Naatu” was the Oscar for Best Original Song, making it the first song from an Indian film, as well as the first from an Asian film, to win in this category. RRR is a tricky one to recommend, it's mash of genres that include world cinema, historical epic, CGI action, romance and musical make for an even experience. Scores for recommendability reflected this, given its three hour plus runtime scores for repeat viewing were lower to give an overall rating of 3.24.   [supsystic-tables id=325]   Episode #312 Crew Links Thanks to the Episode #312 Crew of John Loftus (@loftysnds) and Dr. Nicola Millard (@DocNicola) You can find their website here And at https://twitter.com/8RadioIreland And at https://twitter.com/BTYSTE     Please make sure you give them some love   More about RRR For more info on RRR can visit RRR IMDB page here or RRR Tomatoes page here.

Dr. Nicola Millard and John Loftus (BT Young Scientist STEM Inspirations podcast, 8Radio Ireland) join Flixwatcher to review Nicola's choice I'm Thinking of Ending Things. i'm thinking of ending things is the 2020 Charlie Kaufman adaptation of the novel of the same name by Iain Reid. It stars Jessie Buckley as the Young Woman, who could be called Lucy, Louisa, Lucia, and Ames and Jessie Plemmons as her boyfriend Jake. On a wintery car journey to meet Jake's parents, Mother (Toni Collette) and Father (David Thewlis), the Young Woman is contemplating ending their relationship. After their arrival at Jake's family home things become increasingly surreal and reality, memory and imagination all merge into one. It is fair to say the reaction for i'm thinking of ending things was mixed for Flixwatcher and guests, despite being huge fans of other Kaufman films like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Being John Malkovich.

In the first part, we looked at Loftus's "outsider test for faith." He with others now take aim not at Christian faith in general but now the Bible specifically. In it the book claims that the Bible is too scientifically inaccurate, too textually inconsistent, and too easily misinterpreted to be divinely inspired. How could Christians claim otherwise?

John Loftus (former Army intelligence officer, Justice Department investigator, U.S. government prosecutor, and author of “America’s Nazi Secret”), with security clearances many levels above Top-Secret - worked on CIA and Nazi war crimes cases. John’s goal: discover who fixed Nuremberg (where certain Nazis were set free).Young Richard Nixon blackmailed the Dulles brothers about their laundering money to the Nazis. Dulles used Prescott Bush to help Nixon enter politics. (Their sister, Eleanor Dulles, was a spy for the Zionists. With her help, they blackmailed Nelson Rockefeller into reversing the votes in the U.N., to allow the creation of Israel. The test votes were against it.)Prescott was on the board of many firms that laundered Wall Street money to the Nazis before the war, and laundered it back after the war. (Brown Brothers Harriman, where Prescott worked, is the only banking company in NY history that was allowed to destroy its World War Two files. George H.W. Bush enlisted in the military because he feared his father, Prescott, could have been indicted for treason.)The Dulles brothers were idiots to use Nazi Reinhard Gehlen to spy on Russia. He was incompetent. His organization was infiltrated by Soviet communists. Every U.S. secret got to Stalin.Teddy Roosevelt forbade investments in countries involved in trusts, cartels or monopolies. But in 1918, a new law allowed them to be formed overseas, so Wall Street money rushed to Russia, Germany, and Arabia, and multinational companies funded right-wing groups (the House of Saud in Arabia, the Bolsheviks in Russia, and the Third Reich in Germany).We are subjected to psychological warfare, news that isn’t true. How much is Kabuki theater, and how much is real – that is the question.

After his death, David had to rebuild his life alone. He changed his career and eventually had a family of his own.

Carter Warden is a former conservative pastor of 25 years, now openly atheist. Using the pseudonym “Adam Mann”, he was a founder of The Clergy Project, an on-line support group for clergy who no longer believe the doctrines of the churches they serve. “Adam” was one of the original five interviewees in the 2010 Dennett-LaScola article, “Preachers who are not Believers.” While still in ministry, he was interviewed undercover by ABC World News Tonight and the Canadian Broadcasting Company. Last fall he "came out" publicly as an atheist at the Freedom From Religion Foundation's annual gathering. A press release was picked up by the Johnson City Press and Carter was outed to his church, friends, and extended family. In this interview, he talks about that experience, the challenge facing clergy who no longer believe yet who make a living for their families by serving their churches, and the liberation when people are able to be honest with themselves and others about what they really believe. Hear previous interviews on Progressive Spirit with individuals connected to the Clergy Project including Linda LaScola, Daniel Dennett, Dan Barker, Gretta Vosper, Ryan Bell, David Hayward, Pat Green, John Loftus, Bart Campolo, and Jerry DeWitt.

Join Dr. Carlos as he discusses how someone changes from christian to atheist with John Loftus. For about two decades John W. Loftus was a devout evangelical Christian, an ordained minister of the Church of Christ, and an ardent apologist for Christianity. With three degrees--in philosophy, theology, and philosophy of religion--he was adept at using rational argumentation to defend the faith. But over the years, doubts about the credibility of key Christian tenets began to creep into his thinking. By the late 1990s he experienced a full-blown crisis of faith.
In this honest appraisal of his journey from believer to atheist, the author carefully explains the experiences and the reasoning process that led him to reject religious belief. The original edition of this book was published in 2006 and reissued in 2008. Since that time, Loftus has received a good deal of critical feedback from Christians and skeptics alike. In this revised and expanded edition, the author addresses criticisms of the original, adds new argumentation and references, and refines his presentation. For every issue he succinctly summarizes the various points of view and provides references for further reading. In conclusion, he describes the implications of life without belief in God, some liberating, some sobering. 

This frank critique of Christian belief from a former insider will interest freethinkers as well as anyone with doubts about the claims of religion.About the AuthorJohn W. Loftus (Angola, IN) earned MA and MDiv degrees in theology and philosophy from Lincoln Christian Seminary under the guidance of Dr. James D. Strauss. He then attended Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, where he studied under Dr. William Lane Craig and received a ThM degree in philosophy of religion. Before leaving the church, he had ministries in Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana, and he taught at several Christian colleges. He is also the editor of The Christian Delusion: Why Faith Fails and The End of Christianity. In addition, he has an online blog at http://debunkingchristianity.blogspot.com.

In this episode, Bo Bennett and Kim Ellington speak with author John Loftus about his new book, How to Defend the Christian Faith: Advice from an Atheist – the first book on Christian apologetics written by a leading atheist figure that teaches Christians the best and worst arguments for defending their faith against attack. From Amazon.com: The Christian faith has been vigorously defended with a variety of philosophical, historical, and theological arguments, but many of the arguments used in an earlier age no longer resonate in today's educated West. Where has apologetics gone wrong? What is the best response to the growing challenge presented by scientific discovery and naturalistic thought? Unlike every work on Christian apologetics that has come before, How to De-fend the Christian Faith is the first one written by an atheist for Christians. As a former Christian defender who is now a leading atheist thinker, John Loftus answers these questions and more. He tells would-be apologists how to train properly, where to study, what to study, what issues they should concern themselves with, and how poorly the professors who currently train them practice their craft. In the process, he shows readers why Christian apologists have failed to reach the intelligent nonbeliever. For those Christian apologists who think this book will provide a secret formula to convert the nonbelieving mass-es, be warned: as an exposé of the present state of Christian apologetics, it can just as easily be used by atheists to refute apologetic arguments. Thus, this book presents both an opportunity and a challenge to Christians: they must either change how apologetics is done, or quit doing apologetics altogether.

With so many religions in the world, how can you tell which one is correct? John W. Loftus tackles this question in his new book, The Outsider Test for Faith: How to Know Which Religion Is True (Prometheus Books, 2013). In order to take on this perplexing question, John Loftus argues for a simple test called the Outsider Test for Faith, where believers – even if hypothetically – try to consider what their faith looks like to someone from the outside. There may be similar strands running through many religions, but there are also irreconcilable differences. It is easy for a Christian to explain why they do not believe in Vishnu, for example, and Loftus utilizes this approach to try to get believers to analyze their own faith as easily as they do others’. Loftus also deals with the Religious Dependency Thesis, which points out that what religion one holds is usually the result of where and to whom you were born. By applying the skepticism that many already have toward most gods, Loftus hopes that the OTF will aid those to let go of one more. Loftus’ blog can be found at here.

How can one accept the Bible at face value but reject the Quran's teachings? How can one accept Christian miracles as evidence but reject Hindu miracles? John Loftus, author of the Christian Delusion and God or Godless, joins us on the show to discuss the Outsider Test For Faith, which challenges believers to thoughtfully consider why they reject the claims of other religions and then apply the same critical standards to their own beliefs. Also on the show, its the Gospel of Superman! Why has Hollywood decided to promote the latest superhero film specifically to evangelical churches? And for God Thinks Like You, can just thinking about Superman turn you into a hero? All that plus a polytheism that is , quite frankly, a little twisted.

While on tour promoting his new book "The Magic of Reality" Richard Dawkins found himself banned from a book signing at a Detroit area country club after the owner learned that Dawkins was an atheist. Dawkins called the last-minute cancelation of the event an act of "sheer bigotry" but some insist that a privately owned business has the right to refuse service to atheists. Jennifer Beahan, the assistant director for the Center For Inquiry Michigan, joins us on the show to explain how the law does not allow discrimination against the non-religious and why CFIMI will be filing a lawsuit against the club. Meanwhile the American Cancer Society has also banned the atheist charity Foundation Beyond Belief from joining their "Relay for Life" even though the foundation was planning to raise over half a million dollars for the event.

Jim Marrs will explain how the U.S. is becoming an extension of an ideology thought to have been defeated in WW II. But while the U.S. helped defeat the Germans in World War II, as John Loftus told our listeners last year, ranking Nazis came to America where they set up corporate fronts. By using their combined wealth and ideology they have, over time, turned America into the Fourth Reich. From mainstream media accounts, this is an absurd notion but once you realize the media is largely owned by the very same interests that supported the Nazis before WW II, this is not so far fetched. Once understood, it's no mystery why rich bankers are being bailed out by a disappearing American middle class.

John W. Loftus earned M.A. and M.Div. degrees in theology and philosophy from Lincoln Christian Seminary under the guidance of Dr. James D. Strauss. He then attended Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, where he studied under Dr. William Lane Craig and received a Th.M. degree in philosophy of religion. Before leaving the church, he had ministries in Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana, and taught at several Christian colleges. Today he still teaches as an adjunct instructor in philosophy at Kellogg Community College and has an online blog devoted to "debunking Christianity." His new book is Why I Became an Atheist: A Former Preacher Rejects Christianity. In this interview with D.J. Grothe, John Loftus discusses his background as an Evangelical Christian preacher and apologist and what led to his rejection of the faith, including both emotional loss and "lovelessness in the church," and also philosophical arguments and historical evidence that caused him to doubt. He critiques the Christian illusion of moral superiority. He challenges religion with what he calls the "outsider test." He explores whether logic and reason led to his atheism, or followed only after he adopted an atheistic point of view for emotional reasons. And he explains what he does believe in now that he no longer believes in Christianity or God, and the benefits he thinks this new worldview brings him.
