Escaping the Beast's Trap (1) (audio) David Eells - 8/30/26 B. A. - 03/14/2012 (David's notes in red) (The foundation for this dream is that the D.S. is poisoning the food and water supply.) I dreamed I was walking down my lane, as the morning was dawning, to go up to the main road to the mailbox and get the newspaper. Just as I got to the road, I saw one of my neighbors getting into his truck. He drove up to me and said, “You'd better get to Walmart quickly; they are giving away free food, water, medicine, and gas”. (Trusting in the arm of the flesh. Psa.146:3 Put not your trust in princes, Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. Pro.3:5 Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding. Heb.12:16 lest there be any fornication, or profane person, as Esau, who for one mess of meat sold his own birthright. I said, “My husband is asleep, so I will have to wait until he wakes up”. My neighbor said, “Well, I wouldn't wait too long or you might miss out”. Then he left. I went on over to the mailbox and got the newspaper. I got halfway back down the lane when I heard a voice say to me, “It's a trap; it's a trap. Don't go”. Jer.17:5 Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah. 6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited. 7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in Jehovah, and whose trust Jehovah is. 8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreadeth out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat cometh, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. I asked, “What's a trap?” The next thing I knew, I was standing in a Walmart parking lot. The lot was packed like it always is, so I asked what was wrong. I heard that same voice say, “Look at the people”. So I looked at the people. They were coming out of the store with grocery carts full of items and getting into their cars and leaving. I asked again, “What's wrong?” The voice said, “Look closer at the people”. So I zeroed in on the people, and all of a sudden I noticed they were all wearing dog tags. (Symbolizing trading needed free stuff for freedom.) Then I found myself inside the store. There was a long line on the left side of the store against the wall. They had it set up like at the airport with the roped lines, so the flow of people would be orderly. The store was full of products and people were shopping, so everything looked normal to the people in line. However, I noticed that the people shopping were wearing dog tags like the people in the parking lot. My oldest brother had been in the military years ago, so I knew what these dog tags were. I said to myself, “These are soldiers dressed up as civilians”. (Government giveaways are designed by the beast system to trap you into trusting in them until you are addicted in your mind. The flesh pots of Egypt were a government giveaway to the slaves to control them. The people who own the megastores are owned by the same people who own the government and military. Bondage to them is the spiritual mark of the beast. Pharaoh will rule the slaves.)  All of a sudden, I was standing at the back of the store. The store manager was standing in front of a set of doors marked Personnel Only. I noticed he was wearing dog tags as well. (Government and big business are one in socialism.) He was telling the people that only four people at a time could go with him to be processed to get their vouchers for the free stuff. He had them line up two on the left and two on the right behind him. As they went through the first set of doors, there was a breezeway area, then another set of metal doors. He told them that when they went through the next set of doors, two women would be sitting at a desk, and they should go up to the desk and wait. As soon as these people got up to the desk and the second set of doors closed, four very large men (they looked like sumo wrestlers) came up behind these people, put their hands over their mouths and gave them some kind of a shot. (The giants of their own flesh will bring into bondage those who do not believe the promises but trust in men. Flee into the wilderness where God provides out of heaven through faith and the old man is dead at the Red Sea. Php.4:19 And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.) Then these soldiers took their driver's license and car keys from them. (I believe the driver's license represents taking away their identity or place in Christ, and the car keys represent taking away their freedom; they NOW belong to the beast -- lock, stock and barrel!) (At first they will want your Social Security number and income to receive food; now it will be the Digital ID; then the Mark will make it easy for you. This gradualism is the way to harden one's conscience. Remember when they mandated the vaccinations, and you could not travel, go back into work, shop in stores, dine out, etc., unless you were vaccinated and everyone was forced to wear a face mask? This was a type of their ways to institute the Mark.) The two women sitting at the desk stamped these people on their right hands. (Representing the beastly works of flesh.) (Rev.13:16) And he causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead. I got closer so I could see what the stamp read; it read, Bus #1, Section A. Then these people were led out the back door onto a waiting bus. These people couldn't put up a fight, as the shot they were given made them like zombies and they could barely walk. (They stumbled out of the way, put to sleep by demons using the lusts of the flesh.) These people's, or victims', driver's licenses were placed in a box that read, Bus #1, Section A, as well. I'm sure this was so they could keep track of who they were and where they were taking them. Their car keys were given to some soldiers standing close by. (They are no longer individuals using cars but members of the collective riding buses; they are one in the beast body.) I decided to follow these soldiers with the keys to see what they were going to do. They found these people's cars and drove them off the parking lot. I then went back to the bus to see what was happening there. I noticed they started taking people to the back of the bus and working their way forward. When they would get two people in a seat, there was a large harness that came over these people's shoulders. Then the soldiers reached down and grabbed another harness that went through their legs, and it all joined together at their waist and locked. There was no way these people could get up. (They will be spiritually brought into bondage and few will escape. They will either deny the Lordship of Jesus over them and serve the collective or confess Jesus before men and lose their beastly life for their heavenly life.) Then, again, the next thing I knew, I was standing in a large field off a dirt road. This field was full of empty car carriers. I watched as the soldiers drove the people's cars onto the field and up onto the car carriers. When the car carriers were full, they drove away. I lost count of how many there were, as there were so many. I just stood there trying to digest everything I had just witnessed. I closed my eyes and when I opened them again, I was back home on my lane. (Many will lose their individuality and freedom as the economy crumbles through mismanagement, war, natural catastrophes, and plots of the DS globalists. The so-called “Golden Age” does not fit with the Rev.13 mark of the beast.) I stood there thinking how clever that whole process was; they didn't have to go to the people. They devised such a clever way to have the people come to them without putting up a fight, like lambs to the slaughter. (It is natural for those who have no faith to gravitate to the beast for salvation in all forms, for they worship him.) Also, I thought to myself, they have been planning this for a long time. Walmart would be a very logical staging area, as they provide food, clothing, supplies, water, medicine and gas. They are always advertising it as a one-stop shop; now we know why! I took another look at Walmart. For some reason, I looked at it in reverse from the dash out, and it reads “Mart law”, or martial law! Then I woke up. (They will be the number one store under martial law. Mom-and-Pop stores will continue to die. Cheap Chinese labor and materials will win. An executive order was signed on March 16, 2012, giving the Executive Branch the power to control and allocate all energy, production, transportation, food and even water resources by decree. They have control over all food, farms, livestock, farm equipment, fertilizer and food production across America.) A secret behind Walmart's rapid expansion in the United States has been its extensive use of public money. This includes more than $1.2 billion in tax breaks, free land, infrastructure assistance, low-cost financing and outright grants from state and local governments around the country.   “It's a Trap” Henry Jansen - 03/29/2012 (David's notes in red) I recently had a few interesting experiences, one of which involved David in a dream. Because of the common theme of “a trap or being trapped”, I thought I would share it. Here is some background:  My work requires me to travel to our company's project sites once or twice a month. The trips can be a few hours long, so I normally listen to UBM teachings. One of the ladies who works for me (a Christian lady I will call “S”) sometimes travels with me to the site when she is required to discuss some things with the site staff to complete her work. As we are both Christians, I play UBM teachings during our trips, and “S” has listened to these with interest. Until recently, “S” was a smoker (with a bad cough and high blood pressure) and no amount of prodding from other staff to quit could convince her to do so. She has a twin sister who is also a Christian and her exhortations to “S” to quit smoking also bore no fruit. “S” tried to quit a few times in the two years that I have known her but always fell back into the habit again. I noticed this going on but didn't feel led to say or do anything about her smoking habit. About a month ago, I was planning to visit a site again, and “S” was going to travel with me. The night before the travel date, the Lord put it upon my heart to dig up an old UBM teaching from March 2008 on smoking and play it during our trip to the site, which is what I did. The Spirit brought a strong conviction upon her during the teaching, and about halfway through it, she took her cigarettes and lighter out of her handbag and handed them to me. She said she never knew the things about smoking that you taught and realized that she was in bondage to demons. She suddenly had a strong urge to be free from this bondage. We stopped at a town halfway to the site. I gave her the cigarettes and lighter, and she threw them both into a trash can. That was the last time she touched the stuff. When we returned to the office later that day, the Lord put it upon my heart to pray with her, commanding the spirits of bondage to leave her and not return. We also asked the Lord to deliver her from any withdrawals, and she didn't have any. The next day, she came to work with a bright, sunny face, saying she felt as if a weight had lifted from her. Through your teaching, the Lord has made her free from the bondage of smoking forever. Since then, she also started to listen to UBM Bible study teachings regularly. The Lord has also led her through various events recently to remind her of her deliverance and she is now ministering to bring others out of this bondage. One event she had was driving to a site in a car that was owned by a heavy smoker. Driving in the smoke-smelling car made her violently ill, and she had to stop to be sick along the way. The Lord has a sense of irony, doesn't He? Now for the next bit: About a week ago, “S” asked if we could have a meeting. She told me that she was awakened at around 3:00 am by a voice saying the words, “It's a Trap. It's a Trap”, repeated a few times. Because of the urgency of the voice and her anxiousness over it, she couldn't sleep and got up and listened to the latest UBM Bible study, which happened to include an interpretation of a dream received about being Trapped by the Beast. (The above revelation was an amazing confirmation that the same words were used in this dream as in “S”'s revelation: “It's a trap. It's a trap. Don't go”.) I thanked her for telling me and left it at that, thinking that I would listen to the UBM teaching she mentioned to hear what it was about. I have not listened to this teaching yet. Then, a few days ago, I had this dream: I was working for David Eells. David asked me to go to a meeting that he was scheduled to go to in town. He could no longer attend, as he had other commitments. (It appears as though I will not fall into a government sting operation.) I knew that the meeting was with government officials and that the meeting was about the government wanting to sell weapons to David. The meeting time was set for 8:30 am. (Praise the Lord that I don't want any of the world's weapons.) On the day of the meeting, I was at an office in a town, and I got there on my bicycle. While attending to my activities in town, I forgot about the meeting I was meant to attend on David's behalf that day. When my activities in town were completed, I got on my bicycle to ride back to the center of town. While riding on my bike, I suddenly remembered that I was supposed to attend that meeting for David. I looked anxiously at my watch and noticed that it was 8:10 am, so, fortunately, it was not too late yet. I then suddenly remembered (the following events actually happened ...) a meeting I had with one of my work colleagues, during which she told me that a voice woke her early one morning (about 3:00 am), saying the words, “It's a trap. It's a trap”, repeated a few times. Because of the urgency of the voice, she couldn't go back to sleep and instead decided to listen to the latest UBM Bible study teaching. It just happened to be the teaching Trapped by the Beast. She was so startled by the whole experience that she told me about it the next morning at work. As of the writing of this dream, I have not yet listened to that Bible study. In the dream, I remembered the meeting with my colleague and what she had said, and then it suddenly dawned on me that the meeting with the government was a “trap”. The government was trying to set a trap for David and this meeting was part of that trap. I suspected that the government was planning to set up a meeting with real arms dealers and then planned to arrest everyone who attended the meeting. (I have no need or desire for physical arms. It appears that the government will seek to try to trap church leaders into giving them proof that they were guilty of taking up arms against the government in order to imprison them.) No amount of explaining that the meeting was to be with government officials will matter. I then realized I had to let David know as soon as possible and cycled to what I thought was the center of town. I looked for a place to park my bicycle and noticed two separate sets of stairs (made from concrete or masonry) leading down from the level I was standing on to some other level of town far below me. I tried to take my bike down the first set of stairs but quickly realized it was very steep, with narrow steps and dangerous; if you stumbled, you could be severely hurt. I then took the second set, which had a gentler slope, to the bottom. When I got to the bottom, I tried to park my bicycle, but all the bicycle parking spots were full, and I couldn't leave my bike safely anywhere. No matter where I looked, I couldn't find a parking spot for my bicycle. They were all taken. This made me very frustrated. (A sign of there being many people in the underground Church.) I then cycled to David's place. When I got to where I thought David lived, I didn't see a house but noticed a shed, which I understood was a workshop. I also “knew” that David drove a car and his parking garage was underground. I remembered seeing the garage door open at some previous time. I knew the garage door hinged up out of the ground when it opened, and one had to drive into a hole in the ground to park the car. I couldn't see the garage door when I arrived and realized it must be closed because when the garage door was closed I couldn't see the garage at all, as it was covered with vegetation and level with the ground (camouflaged). I pushed my bike into the workshop to look for David and to find a place to park my bike. I noticed an old bike rack inside the workshop with some kids' bikes and an adult bike (similar to mine) taking up all the slots in the old bike rack. The bikes were covered with dust and looked like they hadn't been used for a long time. (Could it be that my spiritual children have outgrown their “kids' bikes”?) I couldn't find any room to park my bike. I saw a man whom I knew as “Newman” (“new man” in Christ) and asked him if he had seen David. He said he had seen him twice that day.    Tribulation, Government, the Mark & Evangelism Sultana - 09/17/2007 (David's notes in red)  The year before 9/11, I dreamed of four explosions. I told my husband that the World Trade Center was blown up and I saw an explosion on the ground, then I saw the Pentagon explode. (fulfilled) In 1998, God sat Kevin down and said, “The government will be altered in a way that it is not overthrown, but our freedoms will change. All the people who hated God's people will now have the ability to persecute them and even kill them like they could not in the past. (Update: Kevin did hate and kill God's people and died for it.) This was very similar to martial law; military police will evolve on a global scale. People will have to choose whether they will cooperate with this government or suffer without its benefit (the mark). Many professing Christians will give their allegiance to the new system of government in order to keep their freedoms and benefits in this world. In spite of the persecution of the body of Christ, personal evangelism and missions will thrive during this time. Finances will flow for missionaries and relief of suffering churches like never before (which does not make sense to me). (Father has already planned for this time and we will have every need met.) However, the compromising believers will receive a demonic guilt because they denied the Lord and their brothers in order to keep their comforts. They will not be able to repent of what they have done, nor will they escape the torment they will feel for denying Christ (reprobation from the mark). The pressure will be so great that you will not be able to prepare for it then. Now is the time to sell out for Christ and give your very all to Him. Preparing now is the grace to be ready for that time”.   Escape from Walmart Cassandra – 8/17/2021 Dear brothers and sisters in Yahushua, I had a brief dream last night of escaping a Walmart. Others have mentioned that many of the Walmart stores have been [or will be] converted to FEMA camps, and I remember reading about that, Jade Helm, and even railroad tracks leading out of the Walmarts. Also, people being sprayed with something when entering, and the hand scanners for MOTB payment. Walmart/Martial Law. (That's what B.A saw too.) My dream was brief; my daughter and I were in a Walmart (which, in real life, I would never do; I stopped going to those places years ago; stay out of the Walmarts!) and as we went to leave, I noticed HEAVY MILITARY-TYPE SECURITY near the entrance and the checkout areas. It looked sort of like the riot police, except it was even more advanced. Black colored armor; maybe some were even robots or hybrids. Scary-looking, and there were 5-7 around each checkout area. Somehow we drove out the front door in a car, bypassing the checkout areas to escape. I took some different route as we left, in case I was being followed or tracked. Now that I think about it, I have had another dream of escaping a Walmart, but this one, I was just in the parking lot area and knew not to go in, but that I needed to escape the area. End of dream.  Note: I had a strong feeling others were unable to get out or escape from Walmart.  It could be that the military/security presence was there due to inflation and scarcity of items. I am not sure. It felt more ominous than that, but I have also read that as grocery prices inflate and food becomes more scarce, food trucks and grocery stores will need extra security. See related article:   FEMA Rounding Up “Radical Christians” into Closed Walmarts 8/4/2017, Jennifer Schultz (link) Had another dream last night. It dealt with FEMA, Walmart, and Trump and Obama. It started out with FEMA buses coming into every town, rounding up the “radical Christians,” as the director told an agent who was rounding up the people. They were taken to Walmart. More stores started closing due to false “plumbing issues,” like the ones down south did.  The UN and FEMA were working together. Pastors were ratting out people in their church who didn't vaccinate, who believed in the 2nd Amendment, and who were truly on fire for God. Then I saw Obama talking to “ISIS.” He threw down a picture of Trump and told the sniper/shooter, “I want him to be next.” There was a bullseye in the middle of his forehead. Before I woke up, I saw dark clouds coming across America along with bugs that were huge, and they had on armor with razor-sharp teeth. (The shots were found to cause cancer from bugs in the bloodstream.) When I woke up, I asked God if it was from Him. The verse about ‘what is hidden in darkness will come to light' came into my head. Luke 8:17 KJV For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.   Almost Trapped In a 15-Minute City  Cassandra -12/12/2013 The time this was received, 1:30 a.m., 130 in Strong's Greek, is shedding of blood. I had a dream I was riding a bicycle on a freeway leading into Minneapolis. Normally there are no bicycles on a freeway. All of a sudden, the road was closed. Those of us on bikes (I think bicycles may represent homelessness, or poor people) (or lack of gas or EMP) had to get off of them and leave them and go into a certain area while the road was being fixed, or so I thought at first.  I tried calling my friends to drive and come and get me, but then realized they would be stuck there too.  The area behind the construction reminded me of a bad area in Minneapolis. I soon realized that all of the apartment buildings looked vacant.  Those of us who had been taken off the road were moved into a building. Others and I were forced off the freeway. There seemed to be a “nice woman” there showing us buckets of supplies. The buckets were from Trader Joe's, a local grocery chain, and I have seen these buildings going up with Trader Joe's and also a Lunds on the ground floor of these apartments. The buckets had a roll of toilet paper in them and not much else. I think at that point, it dawned on me that this was a 15-Minute City and they were trapping us. I lied in my dream, which I try not to do (forgive me, Father, for this), and told the “nice lady” my ride was there. She let me leave. I saw a few others escaping and quickly followed them. I saw our bikes and grabbed one, but the front wheel had been bent (intentionally, so we couldn't escape?). I grabbed another bike, and it worked. End of dream. These 15-Minute Cities are real, folks. I have seen several of these apartment buildings in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. They are easy to spot because they have grocery stores underneath. You do not want to move to or get trapped in these places. This ties in with a dream someone else had where, when you see the cities getting ready to be bombed, you have about half an hour to flee and get out. Those that get stuck there will be rounded up and moved somewhere. Those stuck in these cities will be forced to be a part of the beast system, or likely be sent to a FEMA camp for martyrdom.  I just had an awful flashback; a real memory. Several years ago, I saw a huge truck carrying what looked like human-sized portable incinerators. I am also reminded of a recent story in the news of all the homeless in San Francisco disappearing the night before world leaders were coming in for a meeting. 11/11/23.  This is coming to the US. Look at what they have allowed in Israel. B.N. is a war criminal. They know the areas of land they want and what their plans are. They will remove anyone standing in their way and have no regard for human life. These plans have been in place for a long time. Everything is in place. The good news is that Jesus is with us. He is with the poor. He will be with us in captivity and even in martyrdom. Are you ready if this is your fate? Are you ready to flee your home? There will be Goshen's or safe havens for some. Are you ready spiritually for all that is coming? Betrayal from your nearest and dearest? There have been so many messages warning to brace yourself and be ready. Pray for help on this; I do as well. Pre-trib rapture is a lie; repent if you have allowed yourself to be deceived by false prophets, teachers, and preachers. Wake up to the truth.  Please heed the warnings given on this site, brethren…. Cassandra. So, how do we prepare to escape these traps and captivity?   Escaping the Tribulation Mark Sandy Shaw - 11/08/2011 (David's notes in red) When I had this dream on November 8, 2011, I knew that we were already in the middle part of tribulation. They were already making it mandatory that everyone get the mark. We were still where we live now, but we were getting ready to move up on “the hill”. Michael (Meaning “who is like God”) had come through the side or sunroom door and I saw him. Then he said, “The last one is gone”. I'm not exactly sure what that meant, but at the time I felt that there was no one left at the school. (The first 3 1/2 years of the tribulation are for training, just as it was in Jesus' ministry before Acts. Then the disciples or Two Witnesses went forth two-by-two into every place Jesus was about to come.) I knew that we were preparing to go to “the hill” (representing escaping the mark in Zion).  Then the Lord took me from this house to a room. In the room, there were a bunch of men in suits (stuffed shirts is what I used to call them) and you could tell that they had much money and were up to no good. They couldn't see me, though. (Invisibility, or the secret place of the Most High, will protect many from the Beast's plots.) They were talking about the barcodes that are on everything we buy. While listening to them talk about the barcodes, the mark that people took was linking them up to all kinds of things electronically, including the barcodes. They showed an instrument that couldn't have been more than 4” wide and 7” long. This machine had buttons to push and a little screen. They could tell, by pointing this machine at a house, who bought what and who lived there because of the codes and marks they had accepted. They also knew who did not buy items in your house; these items were either given or traded. This was how they found out who didn't have the mark. When they pointed this machine at a house and saw a bunch of store-bought stuff there, and no one in the house had accepted the mark, then the soldiers would go in there and take the people to the FEMA camps. The FEMA camps were changed from an earlier use to now house these prisoners who refuse the mark. It reminded me of the Nazi concentration camps of Hitler, where the Jews were sent to be slaughtered. After hearing these men talk about all this, I was at “the Hill”. I knew that we were already living at “the Hill”. There were many from the local UBM at “the Hill” and some other faces I hadn't seen yet. While we were up there, I was very upset. I kept hearing a man, as if he was standing next to me, crying out to God for help. I was standing in a room with David Eells, Michael Hare, another brother, and my husband. I was crying and telling them that I kept hearing this man crying out to God, and we needed to go back down and get him. I told them that I knew where the house was. I was pleading with them to go back down because it was dangerous times to do that. David, Michael, and I got into a small car that I had not seen before. We then drove to the house. The house and neighborhood around it were empty. Michael asked, “Are you sure this is the house? Because all of these look empty.” (The underground railroad will once again be in use to rescue others from the mark and beast. “Righteousness delivereth from death.”) I said, “No, this is the house. As we go in there will be a stairway. Behind this stairway is another hidden door leading down to another stairway. They are in the basement. I had only heard a man crying out, but I had a feeling that his family would be with him.” But there were even more people than I thought in the dream. It was him (the only male), his wife, and children. Then, there were two more women and their children (whose husbands had been killed). So, we all packed into this small car. Almost all the children were in the trunk, and we were all sitting in laps on top of laps. This was so we could all fit into the small car. I was driving the car. As we pulled out, we looked, and the soldiers were entering the house. But we kept going.  When we had driven just a few miles, soldiers pulled us over. I told everyone in the car to be quiet and not to say a word, to let me do all the talking. No matter how long it took, to be quiet. I had some kind of papers, and I was showing them to the soldiers. The soldiers knew they needed to accept those papers, but they didn't want to. (So they all escaped to the Hill.)     Who Will Escape to the Hill? Psa.15:1 Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill (Zion)? 2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, And speaketh truth in his heart; 3 He that slandereth not with his tongue, Nor doeth evil to his friend, Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor; 4 In whose eyes a reprobate is despised, But who honoreth them that fear Jehovah; He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not; 5 He that putteth not out his money to interest, Nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved. Psa.24:1 The earth is Jehovah's, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein. 2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah? And who shall stand in his holy place? 4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, And hath not sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah, And righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6 This is the generation of them that seek after him, That seek thy face, [even] Jacob.  Psa.125:1 They that trust in Jehovah Are as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abideth for ever. 2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, So Jehovah is round about his people From this time forth and for evermore. 3 For the sceptre of wickedness shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; That the righteous put not forth their hands unto iniquity. 4 Do good, O Jehovah, unto those that are good, And to them that are upright in their hearts. 5 But as for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, Jehovah will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity (the mark). Peace be upon Israel. Isa.43:1 But now thus saith Jehovah that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee; I have called thee by thy name, thou art mine. 2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 3 For I am Jehovah thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour; I have given Egypt as thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in thy stead. 4 Since thou hast been precious in my sight, [and] honorable, and I have loved thee; therefore will I give men in thy stead, and peoples instead of thy life. (Those who will take the mark.) 5 Fear not; for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; 6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back; bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the end of the earth (to the Holy Hill); 7 every one that is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yea, whom I have made.   America in Darkness after Judgment David Eells – 8/26/26 In the morning when I was in the midst of waking up, I had a dream that turned into a vision. I believe it was about Christianity in the U.S. I was standing on a line between two visions of the near future. Part 1 was to my right and Part 2 was to my left and a result of Part 1. Part 1 was a large room representing the U.S. Many chandelier lights were hanging from the ceiling and were very bright. (I believe this may be the EBS revelation of all the criminality that has been done in darkness being revealed to the people. Also the Man-child reformers will be anointed to share truth, which will anger criminals of church and state.) While still standing on the line, I looked to the left or Part 2. It was the room, but the lights were gone including the fixtures. Then when I looked straight ahead down the line and just past the two rooms, I saw a tornado. (This is what I believe caused the darkness and represented judgments, probably the ones we have been discussing as coming soon: earthquakes and volcanic activity through the Ring of Fire. These judgments will destroy and plunder the new economy that the right wing is now creating. Of course, the left would blame the right for this and harden and change many minds. A tornado also represents wind turning around abruptly to go in the opposite direction. Winds of doctrine or teaching represent a change of mind, probably of the people in the U.S. For those who will be righteous, this will be a good change of mind, but for those who will be wicked, it will be a bad change of mind. There is a polarization happening in the U.S. and the world between left and right.)  When I saw the tornado, I ducked behind the wall of the second time period and felt safe. Please remember that the people who considered themselves the people of God sided with the Roman Beast to persecute and kill the disciples of Jesus. Ecc.1:9 That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Mat.24:9 Then shall they deliver you up unto tribulation, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all the nations for my name's sake.  Now let me share the following revelation:   From: “REVIVAL List” Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 Subject: [revival] THE END of EMPIRE AMERICA - Robert Holmes NOTE from Mario Liu: On 16 October 2008, I was in a prayer meeting with Robert Holmes and Kurt Pfanstiel, who was visiting us from the USA. Robert shared with us a vision he had recently received. Robert had a vision of Alexander the Great standing victorious in the middle of the USA. We discussed Robert's vision in some details. Alexander the Great in the vision was a foreign looking man. He was surrounded by many US citizens, who seemed to welcome Alexander as their leader. I asked Robert whether there were any signs of violence and Robert said, no. I remembered God has given similar visions before about Alexander the Great conquering USA and we did not understand God's meaning then. Now that God repeated this vision, I felt that there is significance in this and asked God for more revelations, such as which country is conquering USA, who is Alexander, etc. But God did not give us any clear revelations apart from saying that “Alexander took Babylon without bloodshed.” After the US election, Robert recognized that the Alexander he saw was Obama. Then God revealed more information. These revelations are enclosed below... We need to pray.   THE END of EMPIRE AMERICA by: Robert I Holmes (David's notes in red) This article will cover a range of issues which have been brewing for six to twelve months in my heart. History will judge America as an empire. That empire is coming to an end. The election of Barak Obama is a significant prophetic event, marking the sunset of that empire, and the rising of other powers in the earth who represent ancient powers and civilizations. (But few know that B.O. still sits at the top of his leftist empire pulling the strings. He recently proudly admitted to being Biden's head.) These ideas have consequences for believers living both in the US and the countries that rely on her (like Australia). … Barack Obama became President of DS ruled Babylonian America. Although he severely weakened America, he did not conquer her during his presidency. Hillary was to be Obama II and would have finished the job … but God used a modern-day Cyrus of the Media-Persian Empire to conquer Babylon America. Clearly, this is President Trump, who, as a Cyrus also discovered the “hidden treasures of Darkness” (in underground tunnels of darkness), spoken of in Isaiah 45. Using this and other reforms as a lure, President Trump has come to lead a mighty Alliance of Nations. Where he also set the people of God free from Babylon to rebuild the Kingdom of God and also bankrolled it with Babylon's stolen loot. No one else has followed in the steps of Cyrus but President Donald Trump. Keep in mind there are not two kingdoms involved here but three. Original Babylon ruled by the DS Obama, then Babylon under Cyrus/Trump, and then comes this Babylon conquered by Alexander the Great, whom Robert saw as Obama in his vision. It was reported by the military that Barack Obama was arrested for his crimes and taken to Gitmo. There he was given a monitoring boot and told to play his part under their direction, but he rebelled and they took him back to Gitmo and shot him. However, it was after this that the military began to discover clone-growing labs that were manufacturing copies of the important DS criminals like Obama. LATER they learned how to tell the difference between a clone and the original. I believe it is likely that the DS had their clone of Obama available when they took clone Obama back in and shot him. Obama is known to still be out there and calling the shots for the DS. Remember, Alexander did not come until AFTER the Media-Persians under Cyrus/Trump conquered Babylon. It was DS Obama Babylon, then Trump Media-Persia, then Alexander of the Grecian Empire. Obama is still in the third Empire as an Alexander to conquer Trump. Remember history must repeat. Ecc.1:9 That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. 10 Is there a thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been long ago, in the ages which were before us. We know the prophecies were manifest through history naturally as these three Kingdoms, but somehow these beast kingdoms must be repeated and we are watching it. Another thing that should not be forgotten: Obama was a figurehead for the DS and their 4th generation AI computer. Trump's steps came from a 5th generation AI computer that was programmed by the people pushing him. I take nothing from him; he is a genius. Alexander had political power back home holding down the fort. Revelation's seven-year Tribulation beasts, both the Dragon and then the Beast, had seven heads, not one. Nowhere in the bible does it describe one “antichrist beast.” See absolute Biblical proof in our book, Hidden Manna For The End Times. Jesus said there would be many antichrists. Only in parables of dreams, visions or types is a man described and sometimes a very big man, which identifies a corporate body head. Also, according to history repeating, Alexander is still coming to conquer the Medo-Persian/Cyrus/Trump/Empire. Back to Robert I Holmes: -   Alexander Cometh! In 1999, as I prepared to travel to the US on ministry, the Lord gave me a very unusual prophetic word. He said that “In the days of Babylon, when her walls stood wide and her leaders stood tall, her defenses were strong and her campaigns victorious, (Babylon under the Trump Alliance of nations) Alexander the Great (Obama) came and defeated her. In the same way, my Alexander will stand in the very midst of the United States of America”. The phrase “in the same way” indicates that America's walls are wide, her leaders stand tall, her defenses are strong, her campaigns until now have been victorious. (This best describes Cyrus/Trumps Alliance campaigns) But a man like Alexander - someone God refers to as “my Alexander” will stand in her midst, victorious and defeat her. Alexander the Great, a Mediterranean Greek, defeated Darius the Mede in 331BC at the Battle of Gaugamela (Darius ruled Babylon due to Cyrus' victory), and the gates of Babylon swung open to him (Alexander/Obama) (when he was just 25 years old). He stood in the midst of the courtyard declaring himself king. He then spent considerable time and effort trying to restore Babylon to its former glory. (Which neither Alexander nor Obama are capable of, for God decreed its fall.) As I prayed in preparation for going to the US two weeks ago on ministry again, I had a vision of a map of America from high above. There, almost in the centre of it was a marketplace. I zoomed down toward the marketplace and saw a man standing there. I recognized by the Spirit that it was Alexander the Great, standing in a dusty, sandstone area, sword lifted high, victorious. I believe that God's “Alexander” is Barak Obama. (If so, and I don't doubt it, he would come after the Trump Alliance to conquer it. Trump has prepared everything for the beast. The one world order, the world economic system, complete control and knowledge of everyone's business through satellite and Artificial Intelligence. Cyrus/Trump will be good to give time for the reformers to mature the saints for when the beast makes war on them in the second half of the tribulation.) He has now stood in the middle of America and declared his victory speech in Grant Park in Chicago. There, he prophetically declared, “Change has come to America,” (6). Yes indeed, it has. Barak, apart from having the appearance of a Middle Eastern or African man, is also very young and inexperienced. Barak Obama has not even had a full year in his Senate position. I do not question the right of a 47-year-old to rule a nation, but his inexperience is not reduced by his amazing oratory skill. “Your sons will take the place of your fathers; you will make them princes throughout [in all] the earth,” (Psalm 45:16 NIV). He represents the end of empire America as we know it, and the opening of a new regime, one which, like Alexander, represents a conflagration of old powers (But Alexander/Obama? conquers Cyrus/Trump's America. The Alexander Grecian Empire came after the Cyrus/Trump Media-Persian Empire): European, Middle Eastern and Asian. He will try to restore America's glory, but in doing so relegate her to second position on the global scene. (Obama's job was to conquer America but failed to finish the job. He is still working as Alexander to conquer Trump's America.) The prophet Daniel, who wrote his book from 605 to 530 B.C., predicted Alexander would head a world power around 200 years before it happened (see Daniel 2, 7, 8 and 11). In Daniel 2, his empire is described as a belly and thighs of bronze (brass) in King Nebuchadnezzar's dream (Daniel 2:31-32, 39). In Daniel 7, it is described as looking like …The leopard with wings.   The Four Generals Will Conquer Alexander/Obama Eve Brast - 1/29/10 (David's notes in red) (I asked God to confirm my role in this dream as a watchman on the tower. Twice, I opened my Bible and put my finger down. The first was Eze.3:21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and thou hast delivered thy soul. And Isa.21:6 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman: let him declare what he seeth.) (Eve represents those watchmen who are watching for the enemy attacks on the tower of Zion.) I dreamed I was a watchman standing on the roof of a tower made of logs crossed at the corners like a log cabin. The tower was coming up out of the Gulf waters off the northwest coast of Florida (where UBM began). (When I had this dream, I didn't connect it with UBM, but when I was told to send it to David, I realized that he had a dream or vision from the Lord that UBM was represented by a log tower like this [in the same area but on land].) (The tower is Zion or Jerusalem, “the tower of the flock”. Mic.4:8 And thou, O tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, yea, the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem. Micah 4 is indicative of how God will use the Bride/tower in the “latter days”. Also typed as the Bride in Rev.21:9-10 And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were laden with the seven last plagues; and he spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb. 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.) This tower also simultaneously existed in the Mediterranean waters farther east off the shores of Israel. (Israel is a type of the Church. An elect Bride will be taken out of the Israel/Church. Esther was the Bride taken out of Israel as a type of the Church.) I was dressed in an Old Testament Israeli soldier's outfit and standing at the northeast corner of the tower. (The Israeli soldiers' outfit represents the true New Testament church, circumcised in heart, in its Ephesians 6 armor.) It was dark and the wind was gusting. I could feel rain or sea spray on my face, forearms and lower legs. I was keeping the night watch facing northeast. Suddenly, out of the darkness, Alexander the Great came down and stood to my left. (Obama rules from the northeast of the tower and has been likened to Alexander the Great in other dreams and revelations, indicating his ambition and ability to conquer and take what God is giving into his hands for chastening.) He said, “I want to show you something”. He then swung over the north side of the tower and went feet first inside of it through a 24x24 inch window where a golden light shone out. I followed him in the same way. (The golden light in the heart of the Bride/tower is Christ and the Word. Alexander/Obama on the left will conquer the flesh of Christianity in America. However, as the Assyrian Beast leader, Sennacherib, conquered all of Israel but lost 185,000 men and was assassinated when he tried and failed to conquer Jerusalem, the Bride/tower, and so it will be in some form in these coming days [2 Kings 19:30-37]. I saw a vision of America as Nineveh, the head of the Assyrian world Beast. As Assyria was conquering other parts of Israel, some of these fled to the safety of the tower. As this happens, the people will seek God and their capital city, the Bride Zion/tower.) Inside, there was a very bright, white light. When my eyes adjusted, I saw it was a laboratory of some sort with countertops and lab equipment all around. In front of the north window that we had entered, there was a double stainless-steel sink with a high faucet. Next to it on the countertop was a black microscope. Alexander pointed to the microscope and exclaimed, “Look!” I looked into it and was sucked through it into a spiritual realm that was dark, with black, choppy water everywhere. I was aware in my spirit that it wasn't black just because it was dark. When I got my bearings, I looked around and realized I was on one of four Greek vessels sailing east at a quick and steady pace. (Could these represent the four generals that divided up Alexander's kingdom after they poisoned him?) The white sails were missing (not powered by the Spirit; i.e., wind) and the masts were bare and there were no oars. (not powered by man). (These vessels of judgment have no power against the Bride, who is guiltless by God's grace.) I was standing on the deck of the third vessel to the right. (Pestilence and blood? Corexit brought blood disorders and destroys the immune system like the vax does now.) There was one more vessel to my right, making it the fourth. Alexander was standing next to me on the deck. (I asked the Lord what the four vessels represented and he gave me Ezekiel 5:16-17: four judgments of famine, evil beasts, pestilence and blood (third vessel), and the sword.) (Today these have all been judgments through the DS. i.e the Ohio, East Palestine Chemical Dioxin fiasco, and other environmental disasters and blood contamination through MRNA vaccines. Microscopes are used many times to look at harmful microorganisms, representing unseen biohazards in food, water, and air that cannot be otherwise detected.) I looked ahead to the east and saw a large, bright star bigger and brighter than any I've ever seen. I knew instantly that it was Christ. Suddenly, two giant branches of lightning struck out sideways to the north and south of the star through dark gray clouds, and a voice came out of the star that resonated through my whole being on a cellular level. It said, “Proceed no further, for truly these are the very end of days!” Then, only the vessel we were on began to break apart into many broken pieces of splintered wood planks. Immediately, I was caught up away from Alexander, who was still on the deck of the vessel, back through the microscope and into the tower. (In his war against the Church at that time of the Tribulation, he will “proceed no further” against the Bride in these “end of days” by the edict of the King. This was just as it was when Ahasuerus stopped Haman, who, like Sennacherib of Assyria, died for his attempt on Esther, the Bride. Alexander the Great is said by some historians to have been assassinated by poison as he drank a bowl of unmixed wine to Hercules in the palace of Babylon, the great eagle. There seems to be a common thread of death or assassination to those rulers who attack the Bride/tower. I would like to remind any who read this that a Christian could never do this, for the Word says, “If any man shall kill with the sword, with the sword must he be killed,” and “love your enemies,” and “Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto the wrath [of God]: for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the Lord”.) I looked to my left where the sink was and noticed a reddish dyed tablet to the right of the drain in the right side of the sink, and there was a small stream of water running down onto the tablet, causing a red swirl that ran around the bottom of the sink clockwise before going down the drain. Then I woke up. (Because Jesus, the Word [water] poured out His blood [reddish tablet] unto death, the Bride will have life. If we take the tablet, or cure, we will have life. He said unless we ate His body, the bread and Word, and drank His blood, we would not have life.)   The Eagle and the Serpents Michael Boldea (David's notes in red) (The Angel said, “This has been revealed to you, that you may know, the first bite (on the eagle of the U.S.) has been, the second is yet to come, and the third will be its destruction”.) Psalm 34:7-8, “The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him”. Upon my return to the United States in late August, I had a very vivid and troubling dream. I dreamt I was walking through a sparsely wooded forest, and suddenly my attention was drawn to an eagle (the U.S.) flying high above the tree line. It was a beautiful sight to behold as the eagle rode the thermals, flying in slow, lazy arcs across the blue sky. I began to quicken my pace and keep up with the eagle's flight, all the while keeping an eye on it, noticing that it was slowly descending toward the earth. (Becoming more corrupt) I followed it for a long time, its descent not being sudden but very gradual. Finally I came upon a small clearing, where there were no trees, just some bushes on the edges of the green grass. The eagle landed in the clearing and began to look around, not seeming to notice me. As I began to wonder what the relevance of this was, a man dressed in white, hands clasped in front of him, appeared beside me and said, “Be patient, in due time you will see the purpose”. I was silent as I watched the eagle, and was beginning to grow somewhat impatient, when suddenly (9/11 happened suddenly), it seemed out of nowhere a brown snake (the Muslims are a brown people and the Nazis wore brown shirts) lunged at the eagle, and bit down on its left wing. (In effect, 9/11 devastated the left wing and brought about a short-lived swing to the right as this nation's Christians prayed to their God to save their country.) The snake's strike was very quick and very precise. The eagle reacted without delay, clawing and pecking at the snake, cutting deep wounds in its underbelly, trying to defend itself and ward off the serpent. (USA, the great eagle is still pecking away at these enemies.) Just as it seemed the eagle was winning the battle, and the serpent was retreating, another serpent appeared, red and black diagonal stripes covering its body. (Red and white were the Obama's colors of choice for the election victory speech. Why red and black? Obama's associate for 20 years and mentor was Bill Ayers, who is an unrepentant terrorist, anarchist and Marxist who bombed his own country to bring about “change”, which is Obama's chief motto. Red and black are the colors of anarchists, socialists, left-wingers, communists, etc. Ayers told the New York Times on 9/11/01, “I don't regret setting bombs... I feel we didn't do enough.”) This serpent without hesitation struck out at the eagle's right wing, biting down, and refusing to release. (Many strikes have come from the left, false flags, plagues, assassinations, etc. These Satanists have never slowed down.) After a momentary tug of war, the serpent tore off flesh and feathers, leaving a large wound on the eagle's right wing. (Obama is purely a left-wing socialist who will use anything to tear a huge wound in the religious right of this land. Cheri Watson saw a vision of the Statue of Liberty sliced in two by a huge knife from right to left and the top half, or government, began to slide to the left and fall into the water. A line of leftist governments did much damage that President Trump has worked to reverse.) The second bite was much worse than the first, and for an instant the eagle was stunned. Then a serpent much larger than the previous two, made up of many colors came. (Leftist revolutionaries internally join with many enemy nations. Obama formed ISIS and gave billions to Iran to build underground cities to hide their missile and nuke program. Obama and Hillery sold our weapons to Saudi Arabia.), It slithered toward the eagle, opened its jaws and lunged, taking the whole of the eagle's head in its mouth before biting down. (The enemies take down the government and devastate the U.S., which brings revival.) The serpents retreated and the man (Jesus) who had been standing beside me walked to the eagle, knelt down, picked it up, and held it in his cupped hands. The look of grief on his face was beyond any I have seen in my life. Just seeing the look on the man's face broke your heart. The man continued to look down at the eagle, and with a pained voice said, “The true tragedy, is that at any moment it could have sought the safety of the above, it could have soared toward the heavens and would have found its protection. This has been revealed to you, that you may know, the first bite has been (9/11), the second is yet to come (leftist governments), and the third will be its destruction”. (In dreams we were shown the leftists have engineered many faults to magnify the destruction of coming earthquakes. This will cause the fall of the U.S. into wilderness tribulation.)   A Gigantic Wave Coming Samuel Fire - 2/22/23 (David's notes in red) I saw Tianna, myself, and many other UBM brethren standing together on the beach as a group. (The Lord told Abraham that his seed would be as the sands of the seashore.) Behind us, spread all around, was a large crowd of different people that I didn't know. The place was completely full. From afar, I saw a gigantic wave coming. The wave was about 42 stories high. (The beast will persecute the saints for 42 months. Rev.13:4-5 and they worshipped the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? And who is able to war with him? 5 and there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty and two months.) All the people that I didn't know began freaking out. Some were screaming and crying and others were trying to run away. All those people were so scared and shocked. All the UBM Brethren were so joyful and excited for this wave to come. It was as if we all had been waiting for this wave. (For us, this wave will bring victory for the Kingdom of God in that it will separate the tares from the wheat, which will shine forth in the kingdom as a great revival. Mat.13:40-43 As therefore the tares are gathered up and burned with fire; so shall it be in the end of the world. 41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity, 42 (notice the number) and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. (Notice what comes at the end of verse 42 as in 42 months.) 43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear. For those who are dead to self, there is no fear of the Beast. The end of this 42 months is the end of the crucifixion of the saints and the coming of the Lord for His saints.) Some of the crowd kept trying to run away to save themselves. A few others fell on their knees in repentance, crying to God because they knew they couldn't save themselves or do anything. (God will bring repentance through judgment to His elect.) As the wave came, the brethren had special equipment for the water. They had experience and had been trained to ride the wave, so they were prepared and knew exactly what to do. When the wave came, we were gently lifted up, and we just surfed the wave, riding the wave, and some were just walking on the water. (1Th.4:13 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall in no wise precede them that are fallen asleep.) Everyone else was wiped out from the wave, but all the brethren were calm, having fun and a great time. (Psa.37:18-20) Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect; And their inheritance shall be for ever. 19 They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. 20 But the wicked shall perish, And the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs: They shall consume; In smoke shall they consume away.)   Two Visions of a Wave of Destruction Marie Kelton – 2/17/23 (David's notes in red) Vision #1: During our evening meeting, I had a vision of a city with a few tall buildings. I saw white cars that were parked in the city. (Representing the righteous who are in the rest.) I then saw a huge wave come in from the right and flood the city. (Judgment begins in the house of God to cleanse it and then the wicked are judged, as we will see. 1Pe.4:17 For the time is come for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if it begin first at us, what shall be the end of them that obey not the gospel of God?) Vision #2: Later on in the meeting, I had another vision of people in a city. The people were trying to run away from a huge wave of water that was coming towards them. (God is going to give His people a 3-year grace period during these times to work in Revival for His People and Kingdom. All provision will be given by Him.)

See the full webinar list → Robert Holmes, founder of Spectrum Weather and Specialty Insurance, joins Phil to demystify weather insurance for the snow and ice industry. From explaining what an independent broker actually is, to walking through real-life examples of how contractors use lack-of-snow policies to protect equipment rentals, collateralize operating loans, and build client-loyalty credits, Robert shows why weather insurance isn't just for the biggest operations. He also shares the story of his 18-year path from research meteorologist and Antarctic weather-station builder to founder of a family-run brokerage that helps contractors turn weather risk into a Lego box of solutions. Key Learnings Know the Difference Between Agent and Broker - An agent works for the insurance carrier, but an independent broker's fiduciary responsibility is to you, which means access to the best coverage across carriers instead of whatever one company sells. Weather Insurance Triggers on Snowfall, Not Expenses - Claims are paid based on measured snowfall against a defined threshold, so you don't have to prove salt costs went up or your labor spend spiked to collect. Airport Measurements Keep Things Clean - Coverage typically uses a central, historically tracked location like a major airport because it's a disinterested third party with reliable data underwriters can price against. Insurance Offsets Big Contract Risk - Landing a large contract usually means renting or buying expensive equipment that has to sit ready, and weather insurance can protect that outlay if the snow doesn't come. Weather Policies Can Collateralize Bank Loans - Snow-only contractors going into winter cash-poor can use a lack-of-snow policy to name their bank as an additional loss payee, giving lenders peace of mind on operating capital loans.

It's time to say goodbye to the Fifth Doctor as Robert Holmes triumphantly returns to the show with The Caves of Androzani – a story that is so often lauded in fandom as one of the greatest Doctor Who stories OF ALL TIME! But will the Watchers agree?   Join us as we discuss the consequences of unbridled oligarchy, the brilliance of the cast of utterly awful characters, how much better the Fifth Doctor is with Robert Holmes' dialogue, the tendency of disfigurement to turn TV & film characters into predators, and directors saying “screw you!” to Robert Holmes by casting a woman in a part written for a man (as is so often the way). As you might expect, Julie and Diana get the serious ICK from Sharaz Jek, while Reilly gets angry about Kamelion.   If you would like to watch along with us, you can find this entire season available for streaming on Britbox in the USA (http://www.britbox.com) and BBC iPlayer in the UK (https://bbc.in/48GSaCB).

John and Jim conclude Colin Baker's tumultuous era with a two-part finale born from tragedy, scrambled rewrites, and production chaos - resulting in wildly divergent reactions from the hosts and fandom's most controversial regeneration-that-never-was. The Production Nightmare: John details Robert Holmes passing while writing Part 1, Eric Saward writing Part 2 from Holmes' notes but refusing to release it when JNT rejected his cliffhanger ending (the Doctor and Valeyard falling into an abyss), Pip and Jane Baker getting 10 days to write an entirely new Part 2 using only existing sets from Part 1, and the longest Classic Who episode clocking in at 30 minutes when the Bakers' 38-minute script had to be pared down. The Valeyard Revelation: Extensive discussion of the bombshell that the Valeyard is "an amalgamation of the Doctor's darker impulses from between his twelfth and final incarnations." The hosts debate why this huge concept has never been revisited on screen despite New Who passing that point in the timeline, compare it to Star Trek's "The Enemy Within" and Jekyll/Hyde dynamics, question how the Valeyard established himself on Gallifrey as a respected prosecutor, and marvel that this mythology-altering revelation planted seeds that never grew. The Master's Motivations: Jim questions why the Master appears at all beyond Robert Holmes liking the character. Discussion covers the Master entering the Matrix with a duplicate key, his refusal to let the Valeyard deny him the pleasure of destroying the Doctor personally, and the irony of him being frozen in the Matrix alongside Glitz by story's end. Peri's Resurrection: The hosts examine the shoehorned reveal that Peri survived to become Yrcanos' warrior queen - a retcon driven by negative audience reaction to her original death. Discussion includes Nicola Bryant's mixed feelings (initially disappointed, now embracing it in recent appearances), comparisons to Leela, and whether either ending serves the character well. Continuity Catastrophes: The Inquisitor doesn't recognize the Master then suddenly knows he's a renegade Time Lord within the same episode. The Seventh Door to the Matrix is inexplicably on the space station. The High Council gets deposed by insurrectionists in unexplained chaos. Jim gets "completely lost" by events on Gallifrey that are told but never shown. Bonnie Langford's Redemption: Both hosts praise Bonnie's performance in Part 2 when freed from Robert Holmes and Eric Saward's diminishment of Mel. Discussion covers her not being reduced to singer/dancer stereotypes, total recall ability introduced in "Terror of the Vervoids," recognizing Time Lord modems, and Jim's appreciation that she's treated as the Doctor's equal rather than damsel. The Detective Doctor: Jim dubs Colin "The Detective Doctor" for his Sherlock Holmes/Batman deductive reasoning throughout the trial, calling himself "Old 60" and piecing together clues about Matrix manipulation, fake Mel's knowledge gaps, and the list of judges in his own handwriting. The Ending That Never Was: Colin Baker's final words as the Doctor - "Carrot juice, carrot juice, carrot juice" - haunt him to this day. Discussion of newspapers announcing his firing the day Part 2 aired, his refusal to return for a regeneration story (offering one more season instead), becoming the only Doctor without an onscreen regeneration until Big Finish remedied it, and the raw deal of only 11 stories total. Production Chaos Recap: No script editor credited for Part 2. JNT forced to act as story editor while fighting to keep Doctor Who alive. The Bakers writing without access to Holmes' notes or Saward's script. Sets already built constraining Part 2's possibilities. Colin knowing this was his swan song but giving his finest courtroom performance. The 30-minute runtime requiring BBC schedule adjustments. The Final Twist: The Keeper revealed as the Valeyard in disguise, laughing menacingly as the ultimate cliffhanger - planted seeds for a new showrunner who would start from scratch with Sylvester McCoy. The hosts question why this twist exists when they already knew Colin was gone and had no next doctor or story editor lined up. Mel's Future: Discussion of older-looking Mel with Beverly Crusher-style hair arriving with Glitz, speculation about when they were plucked from (possibly her eventual departure with Glitz's carrot juice company and TV show), and total recall proving essential to exposing the fake Matrix trial. Coming Up Next: Patreon Exclusive (Monday): Comics "Changes" and "Salad Daze," Memory TARDIS spin, more music, and a Season 23 retrospective examining the good, bad, and ugly while preparing for Sylvester McCoy's arrival. Patreon Exclusive (Friday): "Colin Baker: One Last Look" - a retrospective on the man and his 11-story tenure. Main Feed (Following Saturday - Hiatus Content): Peter Davison retrospective from Patreon archives. Season 24 Premiere: "Time and the Rani" - Sylvester McCoy's debut AND Kate O'Mara's return heralding the new Doctor's arrival.

John and Jim tackle the second story of Trial of a Time Lord - a divisive entry that Jim describes as "fair to middling" until a jaw-dropping finale that left him questioning everything. Production Challenges: John provides extensive background on Philip Martin's return after "Vengeance on Varos," Ron Jones directing his final Doctor Who story, and Eric Saward's resignation as story editor during production. Discussion covers Robert Holmes' passing during rehearsals and the courtroom set drama continuing with union issues. The Return of Sil: Jim does NOT hold back on his feelings about Sil's return to Doctor Who. The hosts debate whether bringing back the green marshmallow-eating Mentor serves any real purpose beyond annoying viewers. Discussion includes comparisons to Star Trek's Ferengi and whether Kiv (played by Christopher Ryan) proves more interesting than his obnoxious predecessor. Brian Blessed Arrives: The hosts examine Brian Blessed's appearance as King Yrcanos - a performance John considers a saving grace while Jim finds increasingly one-note. Behind-the-scenes stories include Blessed's F-bomb outtake, JNT's gentle handling of the larger-than-life actor, and revelations about Blessed nearly becoming the Second Doctor at age 25. Cultural Appropriation Concerns: Jim and John discuss troubling 1986 production choices: Kabuki-style makeup and samurai aesthetics for Yrcanos, servants and slaves portrayed by minority actors, Native American-styled costumes, and the questionable treatment of Dorf (transformed into a dog). The hosts question why these decisions felt appropriate in the mid-1980s. Colin Baker's Motivation Mystery: Extensive discussion of Colin Baker's struggle with unclear direction - was the Doctor acting under mind control, being crafty for observers, or was the Matrix testimony itself tampered with? Nobody could give him answers, leading to confusion that permeates the performance. The Claustrophobic Complex: Jim criticizes the confined, repetitive sets of Thoros Beta, noting the same corridor and computer banks appearing from different angles. Discussion covers the limited scope compared to "The Mysterious Planet" and whether the laboratory scenes provide the only visual relief. That Ending: The hosts unpack the shocking finale where Peri's brain is replaced by Kiv's, Yrcanos bursts in and shoots everyone, and the Doctor is pulled backward into the TARDIS by Time Lord intervention. John admits this originally made him consider quitting the show, while both hosts question whether companions deserved such ignoble exits. Time Lord Treachery: Discussion of the High Council ordering Peri's death, the Inquisitor's sudden inside knowledge, and why this story made John truly understand why the Doctor ran away from Gallifrey. The Doctor's proclamation about "second-rate gods" resonates as one of Colin Baker's finest courtroom moments. The Muddled Middle: Both hosts struggle with unclear storytelling - repetitive running through corridors, vague motivations, forgotten plot threads about weapons trafficking, and whether anything meaningful happens between the shocking beginning and devastating end. Listener Perspectives: Jameson weighs in on theme preferences, Inquisitor Darkel's ruthless portrayal in Gallifrey audios, and teases Jim's eventual reaction to trial revelations. Jamie Girl appreciates the pink/purple planet effects and Brian Blessed's Viking philosophy while sharing YouTube finds of cast reunions. Coming Up Next: Patreon Exclusive (Monday): More Dominic Glynn theme music, the three-part comic "Nature of the Beast," a look back at the first five Doctors with another Memory TARDIS spin. Main Feed Episode (Friday for Patreon, Following Saturday for All): Parts 9-12 of Trial of a Time Lord - "Terror of the Vervoids." Mel arrives, and John cryptically warns the creatures' name isn't the only unfortunate thing about them.

John and Jim welcome back special guest artist Jerry Lange to discuss the Season 23 opener - a story that surprises everyone involved and showcases Colin Baker delivering what may be his finest performance in the role. The Return After 18 Months: John provides extensive background on how the show returned after the hiatus with a reduced budget, shorter episode format, and completely different vision from what was originally planned. Discussion covers the tumultuous production environment, Eric Saward's declining interest, and the challenges facing the production team. Dominic Glynn's Theme: The hosts react to the new arrangement of the Doctor Who theme - and Jim does NOT hold back his feelings. Discussion explores why this version feels cheaper than previous iterations and whether anything can redeem it. Jerry's Fresh Perspective: As someone experiencing Colin Baker's Doctor properly for the first time, Jerry shares his impressions of the "grumpy Doctor" and how this performance compares to what he expected. His observations about how each Doctor can be characterized provide interesting insights. Colin Baker's Courtroom Brilliance: All three hosts agree: Colin Baker shines brightest in the trial sequences. Jim examines how Baker balances humor and outrage, the effective "fencing" between the Doctor and the Valeyard, and why these courtroom interruptions actually enhance rather than detract from the story. The Mysterious Planet Story: The hosts discuss Robert Holmes' final full script, the Beneath the Planet of the Apesinfluences, the impressive (and expensive) model work, Drathro's excellent robot design, and whether Glitz and Dibber work as comedy relief characters. Jerry questions whether certain characters were even necessary to the narrative. Production Challenges: Discussion covers wrong studio construction, extended recaps to fill time, rating troubles despite heavy BBC promotion (blamed on the Roland Rat lead-in and The A-Team counterprogramming), and which actors stood out in guest roles. The Valeyard Factor: The hosts examine Michael Jayston's performance, the mysterious prosecutor's agenda, and why his dynamic with Colin Baker creates such compelling television despite being filmed primarily in one courtroom set. Listener Perspectives: Jamie Girl weighs in on the arrogance factor and Perry's odd reaction to Earth's fate, while Jameson provides expanded media context and praises the Baker/Jayston chemistry. Jeff from Australia offers thoughts on problematic elements and the Young Ones connections in "Revelation of the Daleks". Coming Up Next: Patreon Exclusive (Monday): Dominic Glynn theme variations, the comics "Exodus," "Revelation," and "Genesis," plus another spin of the Memory TARDIS wheel. Main Feed Episode (Friday for Patreon, Following Saturday for All): Parts 5-8 of Trial of a Time Lord - "Mindwarp." John handles narration duties, and he cryptically promises Jim will thank him for the division of labor.

John and Jim welcome back special guest Felicity Kusinitz to discuss the Colin Baker era finale - a story that generates surprising ratings diversity and sparks debate about Eric Saward's best (or most problematic) work. Production Background: Director Graham Harper returns after "Caves of Androzani" to helm this two-part adventure, the last to be shot using film for location work. John shares fascinating details about Eric Saward writing the script while vacationing in Rhodes, drawing inspiration from Evelyn Waugh's satirical novel The Loved One, and Greek locations providing character names. The story features newly constructed Daleks for the first time since "Planet of the Daleks," plus some surprising casting stories - including Sir Laurence Olivier being approached to play... the mutant. Best and Worst Guest Stars: Jim declares this story contains both the best and worst guest stars ever - a proclamation that generates immediate discussion. Eleanor Bron's appearance delights Jim (who knew her from "Help!" and "Bedazzled"), while the DJ character sparks the episode's most heated debate. The hosts and Felicity find themselves split on whether this comedic character works or derails the story's tone. The Duo Dynamic: The hosts examine Eric Saward's interesting structural choice of populating the story with paired characters - from Orsini and Bostock (the assassin and his squire) to Jobel and Tasambeker, Kara and Vogel, and more. Discussion explores whether this represents a Robert Holmes homage and how these relationships drive the narrative. Davros as Emperor Palpatine: Jim presents his case for Davros completing his transformation into Emperor Palpatine, complete with blue lightning and manipulation tactics. The hosts debate the character's evolution, Terry Molloy's performance, and the story's handling of Davros versus the "real" Daleks. The Mortuary Planet Concept: Jim shares his fascination with funeral home settings in science fiction, praising the story's dark humor and satire. Discussion covers the story's Soylent Green elements, the disturbing glass Daleks, and whether the various subplots serve or detract from the core narrative. Perry's Accent Meta-Moment: The hosts discuss the scene where DJ asks "Is that your real accent?" - exploring what the production team knew about Nicola Bryant's secret by this point. Listener Perspectives: Jameson and Jamie Girl weigh in with contrasting views on the DJ character, Herbert from "Timelash," and the season's violence levels. Final Ratings: The three hosts land across the spectrum - demonstrating this story's divisive nature even among those who generally enjoy it. Felicity's Colin Baker Era Assessment: The returning guest shares her overall thoughts on Season 22, Colin Baker's Doctor, and her relationship with Perry as a companion. Coming Up Next: Special Hiatus Content: Patreon Exclusive (Next Week): John and Jim cover "Slipback" - the BBC Radio 4 audio drama featuring Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant that aired during the 18-month hiatus. Patreon Exclusive (Week After): A deep dive into the missing Season 23 - examining what stories were planned, what could have worked, and where to find them in expanded media through Big Finish and Target novels. Main Feed: Classic Patreon episodes will be released for non-subscribers during the two-week break. Regular Patreon Episode (Monday): Episode 159 concludes the Steve Parkhouse comic run with his final story "Once Upon a Time Lord."

Join hosts John Drew and Jim Beard, along with special guest JB Anderton (Doctor Who Gives a F*ck/The Bat 77 podcast), as they tackle one of the most controversial multi-Doctor stories in classic Who history. Production Overview: The hosts discuss the behind-the-scenes details of this 1985 three-part adventure, including how the location shifted from the originally planned New Orleans to Seville, Spain. They explore the challenging filming conditions, including extreme heat that made the production difficult, and discuss how this became Colin Baker's favorite story due to his friendship with Patrick Troughton. Creative Conflicts: The episode examines the tension between writer Robert Holmes and director Peter Moffatt, who had very different visions for the story's tone. The hosts also discuss script editor Eric Saward's influence and his preference for darker, more violent content. The Season 6B Theory: The hosts dive deep into fan theories explaining why the Second Doctor and Jamie appear older and why the Doctor seems to be working for the Time Lords, introducing listeners to the concept of "Season 6B" - the idea that the Second Doctor had adventures between his trial and regeneration. Performance Praise: All three hosts agree that Patrick Troughton delivers an excellent performance, giving the role his full commitment despite the script's issues. Colin Baker also receives praise for his dedication, though the hosts feel the material doesn't serve either Doctor well enough. Major Criticisms: The character of Shockeye and the extended focus on food/cannibalism themes Gratuitous violence including the rat-eating scene Poor pacing that stretches the story beyond its natural length Wasted potential for Jamie's character The controversial ending where the Sixth Doctor kills Shockeye Questionable makeup choices for Troughton's Androgum transformation Tall Sontarans that contradict established lore Historical Context: The hosts note that during the airing of part two, the BBC announced Doctor Who would be "rested" for 18 months, creating controversy among fans. The hosts conclude that while the story began with promise in part one, it devolved significantly by part three, with the violence and Shockeye subplot overwhelming what could have been an engaging multi-Doctor adventure. Coming Up Next: Patreon Exclusive: John and Jim wrap up their look at Colin Baker's Voyager comic story, spin the Memory TARDIS, and dive into the infamous "A Fix with Sontarans" special from Jim'll Fix It. Plus, Jim finally shares his thoughts on the legendary (and infamous) charity single "Doctor in Distress" by Ian Levine and company. Next Main Episode: The hosts continue their Colin Baker journey with "Timelash," joined by special guest Alan J. Porter.

Season 5, Episode 712:  What happens when creativity becomes both escape and healing? Dean Robert Holmes, a transmasculine author from St. Paul, Minnesota, uses writing to manage schizoaffective disorder and explore identity through fiction. Since 2020, he's written over 350 fanfics and 2.5 million words (that's equivalent to five copies of Stephen King's "It") before publishing his collection "Unlocked: Seven Titillating Tales of Gay Trans Love and Lust." Dean identifies as aegosexual, experiencing attraction only through third-person perspectives, and thrives in a relationship with his fiancée May through roleplay where he never portrays himself. In this conversation, Dean dives into his writing processes as a pantser who daydreams his way through stories. They discuss maladaptive daydreaming as a coping mechanism, the challenges of balancing creativity with social media, and how indie publishing has shattered traditional word count constraints (finally!). Both Dean and Ruan share experiences of losing mothers to suicide, which fuels an urgency in their writing careers. Dean's upcoming May release, "Treading Water," features a gender-fluid bi man and a plus-size woman with chronic pain navigating romance amid poverty and trauma. The book tackles serious themes while celebrating connection and joy, representation that's desperately needed in romance literature. Tune in to hear Dean read an excerpt from "Treading Water", his upcoming novel, and learn how writing serves as healing for both author and reader. Excerpt triggers: poverty, homelessness, explicit scene and language, chronic pain, body image issues, panic attacks, and mention of religion. Author Bio: Dean Robert Holmes (he/him) is an aegosexual, transmasculine author and artist who uses creativity to manage schizoaffective disorder. Like many alphabet porn purveyors, he got his start in the wonderful world of fan fiction. Through his saucy stories, he often explores psychological themes and the power of queer love. As someone who is autistic, fat, and disabled, he makes a point to represent those communities and possesses a strong belief in the healing potential of kink. After writing over 350 fan fics, including almost 200 requests and a feature on the celebrated podcast Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend, he recently self-published his first collection of short stories, "Unlocked: Seven Titillating Tales of Gay Trans Love and Lust," which is available at four bookstores throughout the Midwest. His debut novel, "Treading Water" will be released soon. Currently, he lives on stolen Dakota/Anishinaabe land, also known as St. Paul, MN, and enjoys spending time with his lovely partner, Mae.   https://deanrobertholmes.com/ https://www.instagram.com/fandomtransmandom/   Dean Robert Holmes's Book: Unlocked: Seven Titillating Tales of Gay Trans Love and Lust (affiliate link) https://amzn.to/3LKtFxZ   Ruan's Links, Newsletter Signup, Affiliate links and Deals:  PodNation Podcast Affiliate link, Get 15% OFF with code podna15 on Ryze Coffee at https://www.ryzesuperfoods.com/ Support the show and get exclusive content Sign up for Ruan's Newsletters https://subscribepage.io/ruanwillow All Ruan's links and books: https://linktr.ee/RuanWillow Affiliate link, collect your body's health and sexual health info with a wearable device for men from Firm Tech 15% OFF with code ruan15 https://myfirmtech.com/ruanwillow

Episode Title: "From Carnage to Cleavage" - Planet of Fire Review PLANET OF FIRE (February-March 1984) Writer: Peter Grimwade (his final Doctor Who work) Director: Fiona Cumming (her last story, dating back to The Highlanders) Location: Lanzarote, Canary Islands - chosen after Cumming promoted it with holiday photos! THE SHOPPING LIST EPISODE: Peter Grimwade faces an enormous writing burden with his final Doctor Who script - a literal checklist: Introduce Perry, reintroduce Kamelion (and write him out), fill in Turlough's background, bring back the Master and kill him off, and oh yes, set it all in Lanzarote because we want a holiday! PERI: The accent is terrible, the acting is broad, the costumes are... strategic. But she's a complete 180 from Tegan, which makes her "a refreshing change" in Jim's words. Also: Why does Fiona Cumming, a female director, go along with the obvious cheesecake shots? THE QUESTION: Why was Turlough sent to Earth instead of being on the ship with the others? THE DEATH: The Doctor hesitates as the Master burns in the flames. Both hosts question whether he could've saved him (echoing the Davros dilemma from Resurrection). KAMELION'S END: The prop finally works by having Kamelion transform into Howard (Perry's stepfather) and then the Master. Jim asks the obvious: "Why didn't they just do that all along?" THE PSYCHOLOGICAL WOUND THEORY: Jim theorizes that while previous Doctors showed physical deterioration before regeneration, Davison is being psychologically and mentally wounded - all the ethical dilemmas (Davros, the Master, Kameleon) are wearing him down, setting up the regeneration. LOCATION WORK: Both hosts praise the Lanzarote filming and volcanic landscapes doubling for Sarn. Jim wanted more of the shipwreck dive sequences. The café scene where the Doctor leaves alien money behind stands out as atypical behavior. THE SOPHIE ALDRED ACE PODCAST UPDATE: John reports the interviews barely discuss Doctor Who - Sylvester McCoy talks about pissing off Richard Burton and friendship with Ian McKellen; Katy Manning discusses life philosophy ("Every day is a blessing"). The hosts approve: "We've heard all the Doctor Who stuff for years!" NEXT TIME: The Caves of Androzani - "Once daily Androzani! Major and minor!" The end of Peter Davison, the introduction of Colin Baker, and the return of Robert Holmes! Subscribe on all platforms. Email thedoctorsbeardpodcast@gmail.com.

Did New Who start in 2005 … or 1973? The Time Warrior fell from the stars with a surprising number of firsts for a show in its 11th year: not just the first Sontaran, but the debut of Sarah-Jane Smith, the diamond logo, the time tunnel, and a planet called (checks notes) Gallifrey. But that's not all: Robert Holmes' script brings a Moffat-y level of jokes and self-awareness, including the first crack about the Doctor chasing young women.

Andy and Martin travel back in time to the summer of 1965 and the adventures of HR consultant Drew Heriot and his sister-in-law Anne as they face up to the machinations of 'Undermind': aliens who have brainwashed British citizens in order to cause national unrest ahead of their imminent invasion. Their various schemes include: spreading pirate radio misinformation; inciting youth violence in a seaside resort; influencing the works of a popular children's author; the distribution of suicide-inducing birthday records; interference with the printing of exam papers, and most abominably of all, the assassination of Eamonn Andrews! Yes, really. Starring Jeremy Wilkin (best known as Kellman in Revenge of the Cybermen) and Rosemary Nichols (Annabelle in ITC's Department S) Undermind is an, often overlooked, sci-fi oddity created and ‘evolved by' Robert Banks Stewart and written by many familiar Doctor Who writers including Bill Strutton, David Whitaker and Robert Holmes. Other regular cast members were John Barron and Denis Quilley, while big name guest stars included Michael Gough, Peter Barkworth, Barrie Ingham, Judy Parfitt, Derek Francis and Philip Latham. Although there is much to enjoy here, the series' convoluted and sometimes incoherent plots tend to undermine (geddit?) its overall feel. Join Andy and Martin as they attempt to review all 11 episodes in 2 hours! And find out which of them was brainwashed into drawing Mulligatawny (a one-eyed turd with claws) while making their notes.

Big Methane, Swampies, the legendary Philip Madoc, and Brussell Sprout-looking Giant Squid-Gods? It's that time Season 16 where things start to drop off a bit, as we get to The Power of Kroll! There's some drama behind the scenes on this one – including actors being turned green for much longer than planned, and script writer Robert Holmes being a little petulant!   Join us as we discuss elaborate uniform designs for rig workers, colonialism (of course) and the revival of associated tired tropes that we have seen so many times before (hello companion sacrifice!), how the roguish Rohm-Dutt is actually quite charismatic, whether the Swampies would taste minty or of seaweed, and how the whole story is crafted around a fart joke. Also worth listening out for is Julie's rage over badly handled woodwind.   If you would like to watch along with us, you can find the entirety of the Season available for streaming on Britbox in the USA (http://www.britbox.com) and BBC iPlayer in the UK (https://bbc.in/48GSaCB).

And with this bonus episode, Ken & Mike close out Season 3 of "Prepare the Timelash!!" with a look at a Fourth Doctor classic, "Pyramids of Mars". They get into a lot with this one, including why the Fourth Doctor/Sarah Jane pair is so darn good, why Sutekh the Destroyer is one of the best villains ever to grace the show, and Robert Holmes' predilection for poachers in a story. Did they save the best story for last in this season? Listen and find out!

Tread Perilously's celebration of Tom Baker's 90th year continues with the Doctor Who story called "Pyramids of Mars." A quirk in time and space forces the TARDIS to land at UNIT HQ some 60 years before it is built. Instead, they find a priory owned by archeologist Marcus Scarman. For his part, the explorer has been possessed by Sutek, an alien imprisoned under a Saqaara pyramid for millennia. Will The Doctor and Sarah Jane figure out the Osirian's plan before he launches a rocket at Mars or will the bodies of hapless Edwardians keep piling up? Erik points out the Robert Holmes hidden in the proceedings. Justin enjoys the silliness of it all. Elisabeth Sladen proves to be the MVP as Sarah Jane snarks her way through the adventure. The Scarman brothers prove to be compelling guest characters even as Justin and Erik can't help but riff on Sutek's genocidal tendencies. Ancient Aliens comes up every so often. The presence of a poacher leads to a lot of discussion. The many highs of the story are tempered by an unusually soggy middle and an obscure plot. Erik figures out where Sutek was the whole time and Ramses II starts selling discount pyramids.

Are you an outgoing script editor? Do you have a grievance against a government agency? Is it specifically the tax authority? Well, why not write an entire serial of a kids' show about the unfair burden of taxes? It's a sure-fire winner, right?!? Right!?!? Even if not, it's what happened for us to get The Sun Makers. Good job, Robert Holmes. Thankfully, your three favourite members of Watchers in the Fourth Dimension are here to dissect it for you!   Join us as we discuss the unfair burden of taxes (surprise, surprise), the Doctor being a sore loser, whether the Collector is an anti-semetic trope, whether or not Leela and Bisham actively ran over some Inner Retinue guards, and how we miss Vicki and Jamie helping to foment rebellion. Lastly, Anthony attempts to fire Reilly and Julie from the podcast over their dislike of jelly babies.

Time for the yarn on Karn that unravels the Doctor's entire history — while cramming in more cranial puns than you can shake an oversized amygdala at. The Brain of Morbius is like a New Who embryo in a jar: a self-aware homage (to Frankenstein), a feminist fable (sort of) with a serious theme (immortality) that's laced with laugh-out-loud lines, and bold changes that go beyond even the Timeless Child. Grab an elixir, don't touch the wine, and let's all stare at the magnificent headcanon.  Give your own rating for The Brain of Morbius on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

Adventure Game Hotspot sat down with Jane Jensen and Robert Holmes on the podcast to discuss the future of Gabriel Knight 4. Jane and Robert spill the beans regarding their discussions with Activision, what the style of game they imagine it will be and what the story will be about. Let me tell you, it's NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT'S GOING TO BE but it's a real possibility of happening. As you might imagine, so much more was discussed. Do you want to meet Jane and Robert? Well, you can at the Adventure Game Fan Fair in Tacoma.

Ian and Nathan are on another Adventure in Time and Spain. Nathan wanted to go to Gallifrey even though it's a silly place. The Deadly Assassin (1976). Directed by David Maloney. Written by Robert Holmes. Produced by Philip Hinchcliffe. Starring Tom Baker, Bernard Horsfall, Peter Pratt and George Pravda.

The Doctor's off on a solo venture to his home planet of Gallifrey, where an old enemy awaits, but this time in a form as crispy as sesame chicken! It's a bonkers one, with ventures into the Matrix (sadly without Laurence Fishburne), forgotten relics, a German Time Lord, and Robert Holmes driving a bulldozer through established continuity. Listen in as we discuss The Deadly Assassin!   Join us as we talk about our ongoing opinion of the Time Lords, the excellent directorial choices, Time Lords eating mints, the influences of the British Empire on Time Lord society, the continuing trope of bad bosses, whether there are actually clowns on Gallifrey, and, of course, the motives of the Crispy Master.   If you would like to watch along with us, this story is available for streaming at both Britbox US (https://www.britbox.com) and Britbox UK (https://www.britbox.co.uk).

Tread Perilously celebrates the 60th Anniversary of Doctor Who with two straight months of that very special programme. First up: "The Deadly Assassin." When The Doctor is summoned back to Gallifrey, he has a vision of the Lord President being assassinated. His attempts to foil the plot are ignored and he soon becomes the prime suspect in the murder. But to save his life, he nominates himself to replace the slain head of state. Will The Doctor end up leading his own people? Will he discover the true assassin and the real shape of the conspiracy? And will an old foe appear from the shadows for one more tussle with the Time Lord? Justin has complicated feelings toward this story. Erik revels in the Robert Holmes script, although even he admits there are problems with Episode 3. He also attempts a Tom Baker impression. The lack of a companion is quite noticeable. Justin admits he's just not that into The Master. A Bane discussion, naturally, occurs. Justin attempts to understand key points of Doctor Who continuity. The Hi-Hats' place in The Warriors gets examined. A curious idea about Gallifrey itself comes into play and an attempt is made to grasp Time Lord politics.

Composer Robert Holmes joins Seoirse to discuss his new album “Sequel”. He talks about recording the music for his alum, how a friend of his shot the video for his songs and he also discusses what may be in store in the future including a possible new album and some intriguing possibilities for Gray Matter. And yes we also discuss a possible Gabriel Knight 4 and whether Jane Jensen could possibly return...Robert Holmes Official SiteSequel Official SiteAdventure Games Podcast Official SiteIf you would like to stay up to date make sure you subscribe to the podcast.

Omnibus time again, this time with poor old The Power of Kroll, a rather unloved entry into the Tom Baker canon, and indeed the Robert Holmes one. There's thunder (and that's not just the expression on Philip Madoc's face), lightning, and not a lot that's very frightening but it does have a superb cast on paper and a big giant squid. Worship at the alter of Kroll, or else host Toby Hadoke and guest (playwright and journalist) Ian Winterton will come round and thwack you with their big tentacles.
