Podcasts about Trojan Horse

The fellas are back from vacation and back in the bar

Five years ago, back in Episode 29, Misty Phillip joined me to share her incredible freedom journey, her ministry, and the Bible study that God had placed on her heart. It has been amazing to watch how God has continued to guide her steps, and I couldn't be more excited to welcome her back to the podcast!This time, we're talking about a topic that affects every single one of us—Artificial Intelligence.Misty's newest book, The Trojan Horse of the Digital Age: Why Christians Must Discern AI, challenges believers to think critically about the technology we're using every day. AI isn't going away, so how do we use it wisely while remaining firmly rooted in God's Word?In this conversation we discuss:Misty's unexpected journey from ministry into cybersecurity and AI.Why AI is a powerful tool—but should never replace biblical wisdom.The importance of protecting your personal data and digital footprint.The growing concerns surrounding AI, surveillance, and data collection.How AI is impacting children, education, mental health, and relationships.Why parents need to understand how their children are using AI.Deepfakes, misinformation, and learning to recognize truth in a digital world.The importance of community, discernment, and walking closely with the Holy Spirit.Practical ways Christians can use AI responsibly to save time while continuing to seek God first.One of my favorite reminders from this conversation is that AI can be used for good or for bad—just like many other tools. The key is not fear, but discernment.As technology continues to advance, we must stay anchored in God's Word so we can recognize truth, guard our hearts, and wisely steward the tools He's placed in our hands.Misty reminds us that no artificial intelligence will ever replace the wisdom that comes from the Holy Spirit.Bio:Misty Phillip is a Christ-follower, author, speaker, and advocate for faith-driven discernment in the digital age.As COO of TrilogyWorks, a boutique technology firm specializing in cybersecurity and AI-driven solutions, Misty brings real-world expertise to the conversation about technology and faith.

Take 240: What's NewBig week. Jonathan and JP are back and there's a lot to get into.List It or Nix It kicks things off with seven fresh trailers — Mayday, I Play Rocky, The Uprising, Behemoth, The Other Mommy, Bad Apples, and Doomsday all go through the gauntlet.In What We've Been Watching, Jonathan saw The Odyssey and then apparently went on a full childhood cinema tour — Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, The Pagemaster, Harriet the Spy, Stuart Little, Shark Tale, and Zathura. JP brings Project Hail Mary, Lawrence of Arabia, After Hours, and The Odyssey to the table, with House of the Dragon and Silo on the TV side.Then the news, and it's a good one this week.The Odyssey opened to $124.5 million domestically and $264.1 million globally — Nolan's biggest worldwide opening ever, beating The Dark Knight Rises. The only films that opened bigger this year are Toy Story 5 and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Jon Bernthal filmed the Trojan Horse sequence submerged in cold water, Nolan offered to pull him out, and Bernthal's response was essentially: try harder. The film has no real competition until Spider-Man on July 31, which gives it room to run on a $250 million budget that needs the legs.And then — the Avengers: Doomsday trailer dropped this morning. First proper look at Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom. Thor rallying heroes, closing with "we need a miracle" before turning around stunned at a "hey pal." Channing Tatum as Gambit. Cyclops, Mystique, Ant-Man, the Fantastic Four, the Wakandans. Tickets on sale now. Opens December 18. The SDCC Hall H panel is Saturday — further reveals expected.It's a good time to love movies.

Christopher Nolan does not do anything small, so of course his Odyssey is shot entirely on IMAX film, scored on Bronze Age instruments, and staged with a sixty-foot practical Cyclops in an actual cave full of actual bees. Pete Wright, Tommy Metz III, Ocean Murff, and Steve Sarmento pull up an oar for The Film Board's monthly round-table to figure out what all that machinery is actually in service of — because the surprising thing about The Odyssey isn't the spectacle. It's that Nolan takes Homer's victory lap and turns it into a reckoning.Full spoilers throughout. The board digs into how the film reframes the hero: Matt Damon's Odysseus is a man who's very good at winning and increasingly sick about what winning costs, the Trojan Horse recast from clever trick to war crime, the whole story quietly asking whether "war hero" is a contradiction in terms. They get into Nolan the skeptic making a fantasy — the gods pushed to the psychological margins, Athena reimagined as guilt wearing Zendaya's face — and how a stacked cast (Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Charlize Theron, Samantha Morton, Robert Pattinson as a suitor you will genuinely want dead) grounds all the myth in something human.But the craft you guys… Ludwig Göransson's relentless, orchestra-free score built from gongs and scrap metal; the editing that makes a 172-minute movie move; the new camera Nolan had built and the reels that had to change every three minutes mid-scene. Steve saw it in the pristine 70mm format and comes back a little evangelized. Is a 98% Rotten Tomatoes score is earned or just the Nolan logo doing its work? What is the film is really saying about who we root for in a war? Plus, stick around past the credits for a genuine argument about whether the gods exist in this movie at all.The Film Board is a monthly round-table on new theatrical releases.

This week is a monumental one for the show! We are tackling the cinematic event of the year: Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey (2026). And, to make this episode even more special, we are joined by cast member Andrei Lenart!Directed by Christopher Nolan and shot entirely on IMAX 70mm film, The Odyssey isn't just a movie—it's a global experience. Starring Matt Damon as the war-weary Odysseus, the film charts his decade-long struggle to return to Ithaca after the Trojan War, weaving together his grueling sea voyage and the desperate situation back home with Penelope (Anne Hathaway) and Telemachus (Tom Holland). Fun Flix Fact: This production makes history as the very first feature film to be shot completely on IMAX film, pushing the boundaries of what large-format cameras can capture—from the desolate shores of the Scottish Moray Firth to the sun-drenched landscapes of Sicily and the sands of Western Sahara.Fun Flix Fact: The film's "Trojan Horse" sequence is a masterclass in production design, reimagined by Nolan as a towering, unsettling monument that draws inspiration from Ozymandias and Planet of the Apes, turning the ancient trick into a dark, visceral centerpiece of the film's opening act.We are thrilled to welcome Andrei Lenart to the show! Having worked on projects ranging from Kingsman: The Secret Service to Kill 'Em All 2, Andrei brings an incredible physical intensity to the screen. We'll be diving deep into what it's actually like to work on a high-stakes, multi-country Nolan set.And if that's not enough entertainment for you, we've even thrown in new trailers to watch and what you can catch on streaming. Hit that subscribe button right now so you never miss an episode of The Flixters!

What's our response when we are betrayed or when find ourselves as the betrayer?1st Homily for the 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time, July 18, 2026

“I want someone who has regrets. I want someone who's learned the hard way. I want someone who understands that life is made of those messy compromises.” — Joel Christensen on the Odysseus he hopes to see in Matt Damon Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is out — the controversial movie of the year, much of the controversy raging before anyone had seen a frame. So, before either of us had seen the epic, I talked to the CUNY classicist Joel Christensen, author of the timely Why Odysseus? Survivor, Scoundrel, (Anti)hero. What, I asked Christensen, did he most dread about Hollywood's treatment of his beloved Odyssey? His answer: a hero too noble to be interesting. The Odysseus of the epic is a survivor, a scoundrel, an antihero — the master sergeant who does what needs to be done, from engineering the Trojan Horse to making sure Hector's infant son doesn't survive it. Christensen's worry about Matt Damon came down to one word: too likeable. What he wanted instead was a man with regrets — De Niro in Raging Bull rather than anybody noble. So did Christensen get the Odysseus he wanted? Below is his review, written after seeing the film when it came out. Postscript: Joel Christensen's Verdict on the Film Nolan's Odyssey is not Homer's Odyssey. This should be clear to anyone. Nolan faced an almost impossible task well: ancient audiences knew the story already. Modern audiences do not, so he created a ring structure with the beginning union of Penelope and Odysseus anticipating the reunion at the end, also introducing plot elements like the dog Argos and the pin by which Penelope will recognize Odysseus. The film is not Homer. Homer's power is poetry; the film's is image. Some of the images are striking: the scene when Circe turns his men into animals is the most arresting in the whole movie, showing everything that can be done with visceral imagery and a slight adaptation (Circe here is a survivor of sexual assault). The changes made to the plot such as omitting the Phaeacians, Nestor, Laertes, the bed and more are not as jarring as some of the general decisions. Calling “Zeus' Law” “do unto others…” makes an understandable translation to a Christian context, but it is somewhat nonsensical for Homer. Depicting a mutilated Helen is a strange decision that I am struggling with. What the movie gets right is making humans responsible for their own suffering. In a novel take on Odysseus as a traumatized warrior, the hero spends seven years with Calypso eating Lotus to forget the loss of his men. Damon, too likeable, regrets the trick of the Trojan Horse after witnessing the slaughter during the sack of Troy. We find out as well that the “sea people” from history, bringing an end to the “civilization” are actually the Greeks returning from the Trojan War and suffering for the transgressions they committed there. Is this ending an echo of Zeus' plan to end the race of heroes in the Trojan War? Is it an allegory for our civilizational collapse in the future thanks to technology, environmental catastrophe, and fascism? Any potential social critique dissipates with the movie's end. The traumatized veteran turns out to be merciful and kills only some of the suitors, showing many mercy. Then, guilty of violating “Zeus' Law”, Odysseus happily goes into exile with Penelope, leaving Telemachus to be king. There's no way to make Homer's Odyssey into a film and convey all its ambiguity and depth. That would be an unfair expectation. Nolan's film is a compelling spectacle and it makes me wonder more about how it reflects who we are as an audience. Do we need the hero to be ultimately good, even if he messed up? Are we so simple that we need to hear about Zeus' Law and the Sea People so repetitively? I fear that in this age where fiction and fact are so hard to disentangle, that we long for narratives that are just simpler. We don't get the Odyssey we want; we get the one we deserve. Five Takeaways •       A Complicated Man: The Translation Problem. Every word of Homer carries echoes no English can hold, and the fights over Nolan's dialogue replay the fights over translation. Emily Wilson detonated a controversy by rendering polytropos — poly, many; tropos, turn — as “a complicated man,” alluding at once to Odysseus's travels and the many forms of his character; Daniel Mendelsohn's “man of roundabout ways” does the work too, if you can stop thinking about rotaries. Even the objection to Tom Holland's Telemachus saying “dad” collapses on inspection: Telemachus uses the colloquial form in Homer. And the “authentic” dialect purists want was an artificial amalgam that no ancient Greek ever spoke. •       The Culture Wars Come for Homer. Nobody remembers a brouhaha over Wolfgang Petersen's Troy — a pretty bad movie, Christensen notes — but Nolan's Odyssey generates more controversy than a scholar can track daily. Lupita Nyong'o's Helen is attacked as inauthentic by one side and as cultural appropriation by the other; since 2015, classicists have watched the Western tradition weaponized by the alt-right while their own field argues about who owns it. Christensen's advice channels the epic itself: between Scylla and Charybdis, take Scylla. You'll lose six men. The alternative is losing the ship — and if the story doesn't persuade in three hours, nobody will remember the armor anyway. •       The Valence of Violence. Modern audiences are more accustomed to represented violence than any in history — you don't need Natural Born Killers when Twitter serves unverifiable clips from Gaza and Iran. The question Christensen brings to the film is what the violence is for. Uberto Pasolini's The Return gave Ralph Fiennes's Odysseus a steady, untroubled thump of arrows; the epic's own slaughter of the suitors, read closely, approaches Tarantino-adjacent parody. And the hardest tests are the atrocities the adaptations always cut: the mutilation of the goatherd Melanthius, and Telemachus hanging the enslaved women. Does the violence glorify the hero — or show what even the best of us are capable of? •       Keep Penelope Ambiguous. The great interpretive question of the Odyssey is when Penelope knows the beggar is her husband — the suitors, dead in the underworld, are convinced she was in on it all along. The epic grants her remarkable intelligence and agency, then reins it in: Agamemnon's ghost praises her by way of insulting all women, and she vanishes from the text. Christensen's advice to Nolan wouldn't be Margaret Atwood's Penelopiad, which centers the women's voices; it would be more screen time and total ambiguity — no access to her mind, a wife who matches her husband in wits and may even have outwitted him. Though based on Nolan's arc, he doubts we'll get a woman at the center. •       Survivor, Scoundrel, (Anti)hero. Christensen's worry about Matt Damon was simple: too likable. Odysseus is the master sergeant — the one who takes the hard orders, tricks Achilles into the war, engineers the Horse, and makes sure Hector's infant son doesn't survive to rebuild Troy. The ancient hero is neither good nor ...

Enjoy this episode? Please share it with at least ONE friend who you think needs to hear it!Former Freemason Leo Zagami explores the Vatican's hidden role in UFO disclosure, the Jesuits' influence on Disclosure Day, and the alleged reverse engineering program that began with Italy's 1933 extraterrestrial crash in episode 253 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.A former Freemason with connections to Italy's infamous P2 Masonic network, Leo Zagami is an Italian author whose work explores the Vatican, intelligence agencies, secret societies, and UFO disclosure. Drawing on decades of research and his own experiences inside esoteric organizations, he investigates the historical forces he believes continue to shape global politics, religion, and the modern disclosure movement. His latest book, The Vatican's Top Secret Alien Agenda, traces the origins of modern UFO disclosure through the Vatican's role in extraterrestrial encounters, Jesuit astronomy, hidden archives, and Italy's alleged 1933 UFO crash.What if the modern UFO disclosure movement didn't begin with Roswell at all? Faust and Leo argue that today's debates over extraterrestrials, the Vatican, and non-human intelligence can only be understood by looking much further back — through the Book of Enoch, the theological changes of Vatican II, and the institutions that have shaped public understanding for generations. As the conversation expands from alleged reverse engineering to the CIA's Legacy Program and the enduring aliens-versus-demons debate, it asks whether disclosure is revealing something new — or reviving a story that never truly disappeared.In this episode:• The 1933 Magenta Crash: Was Roswell really the beginning?• Disclosure Day: Why Leo believes Hollywood may be prepping us for what's coming next.• The Book of Enoch: The ancient text that changed entire aliens-versus-demons debate.• The SOL Foundation: Is the world's leading UAP think tank managing disclosure?• Vatican II: The forgotten theological shift—how the Church views extraterrestrials.• Jesuit Astronomers: Why would one of the world's oldest religious orders be watching the skies?• Remote Viewing & Stargate: What the CIA hoped to learn from psychic contact with non-human intelligence.• Marconi's Death Ray: The bizarre World War II technology story most people have never heard.• Anunnaki & Nephilim: Are the oldest stories in human history describing the same phenomenon?• Brother Extraterrestrial: Why one Vatican phrase could redefine the entire disclosure narrative.If the story of UFO disclosure really began long before Roswell, the biggest secret may not be what we're discovering today — but what we've been taught to forget.00:00:00 Leo Zagami's New Book The Vatican's Top Secret Alien Agenda00:00:42 Spielberg's "Disclosure Day" Screenplay & Hollywood Gatekeepers00:01:54 Mussolini's UFO Crash: Hidden 1933 Italian Evidence00:03:41 David Grusch Exposed: Whistleblower or Authorized Agent?00:08:15 Vatican Secrets on Extraterrestrial Life00:13:31 The Magenta UFO Crash & The Real Birth of Reverse Engineering=00:19:20 Inside Cabinet RS 33: Italy's Top Secret Fascist UFO Team00:22:51 The Marconi Death Ray & Secret Pope War Interventions00:31:48 Pope Pius XII's Close Encounter in the Vatican Gardens00:35:45 53 Miles of Vatican Secret Archives00:38:01 The Vatican Faculty of Paranormal: Training Priests for Aliens00:40:20 Pope John XXIII's Secret 1961 Alien Encounter at Castel Gandolfo00:45:31 Inside The Sol Foundation: The CIA's New Disclosure Playbook00:54:29 Zecharia Sitchin's Hidden Collaboration with the Vatican00:56:03 Forbidden Book of Enoch: Why the Vatican Censors Malevolent Entities01:08:19 Jack Parsons, L.

Mortality and the End of the Iliad. Guest: Professor Emily Wilson. The final stages of the Iliad focus on Achilles' intense grief and the rituals surrounding death. Following the violent funeral pyre for Patroclus, Achilles organizes funeral games, which Wilson suggests represent his growing realization that all mortals are ultimately "losers" in the face of death. These games provide a new model for competition where skillful men can win prizes without the conflict ending in the destruction of society. A significant moment of reconciliation—or perhaps a "sick burn"—occurs when Achilles gives Agamemnon a prize for spear-throwing without requiring him to compete, acknowledging Agamemnon's status while potentially mocking his habit of taking things he did not earn. The poem notably concludes not with the fall of Troyor the Trojan Horse, but with the voices of three women—Andromache, Hecuba, and Helen—singing laments. Their grief highlights the future of enslavement and loss facing the survivors. This ending, marked by a humanitarian pause for Hector's funeral, underscores the poem's central theme: the universal struggle to accept human mortality. 1

The Homeric Question and Epic Tradition. Guest: Professor Emily Wilson. The identity of Homer remains a subject of intense scholarly debate, as the Iliad emerged from a long oral tradition that existed before the return of literacy to Greece in the 8th century BCE. For centuries, performing poets developed stories of heroes like Achilles and Agamemnon, using dactylic hexameter to aid memory and performance. The Iliad is a monumental written poem that takes a sophisticated approach to these familiar tales, often subverting expectations. Interestingly, it omits many "famous hits" like the Trojan Horse, the judgment of Paris, and the actual fall of Troy. Instead, it focuses on a mere month and a half of the ten-year war, centering on internal Greek conflict rather than just a battle against Trojans. Wilson notes that while she translates the work into iambic pentameter to capture its drive, the poem itself possesses the narrative complexity of a modern novel, utilizing techniques like shifting perspectives and narrator omniscience. She also mentions lost epic poems like the Cypria, which provided more backstory on Zeus's plan to reduce the human population through war. 2

This news comes as multiple US states restrict internet access to children and demand government identification verification for access. On one hand, yes, social media is destroying the minds of children. On the other hand, that is a parent's job to restrict. What the government is doing is a Trojan Horse to bring in digital IDs and a new technocratic tracking and tracing system. It's the typical problem, reaction, solution system. Prop up social media companies, use them as a new social credit system in combination with big corporations, then come in with a ban, demand ID, blame big corporations for any resistance to the new measures. Yes, Keir Starmer is claiming any resistance to this will be coming from big corporations. Absurd. We are seeing similar bans in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, countless US states including Missouri, Texas and Florida, we are seeing it through all of the EU, Mexico, Russia and of course the origin state for all of this, China. China was propped up by the United States as a guinea pig state for technocracy over 50 years ago and is the precursor for all of this technocracy. Meanwhile, in the United States, who came up with this first? The Obama Administration in 2011. Yet, we have so-called "conservative" leaders in the US pushing it forward, using sob stories about what children might access if we don't track and trace everyone. And now on top of this all, your PC may actually demand ID for access. Not just for the internet. Your computer may soon demand ID just for the system itself to turn on with proposals for 2027. This is happening as digital IDs are rolled out across the board and moves are made for food rations, AI governance, UBI, carbon credit systems, 5 years of social media history to enter the United States, war, poverty and civil unrest? This is Big Brother and if you aren't prepared for it and if you are dependent on its system, you will fall prey to this entry point for the Great Reset. Stay tuned for more from WAM!

In this episode of Cryptid Warfare Podcast, I welcome back historian Brice for another History Monday discussion. With the upcoming release of The Odyssey movie, we take a deep dive into the legendary story of Odysseus and the events that followed the Trojan War.   We explore the history of the Trojan War, the decade-long conflict between the Greeks and the city of Troy, the role of Helen of Troy, and the famous Trojan Horse that helped bring the war to an end. We also discuss the adventures of Odysseus as he journeyed home, including his encounters with the Cyclops, mythical creatures, monsters, and other strange beings that have fascinated people for thousands of years.   Were these stories purely mythology, or were they inspired by real events, real places, and real creatures? Join us as we separate history from legend and examine one of the greatest epics ever told.     Topics Covered:     The historical Trojan War (12th–13th century BC) Helen of Troy and the causes of the war Odysseus and his role in the conflict The Trojan Horse and the fall of Troy The Cyclops and other creatures from The Odyssey Ancient Greek mythology and possible historical connections How these stories continue to influence modern culture and film     Question for listeners: Do you think the creatures encountered by Odysseus were entirely mythical, or could they have been inspired by real-world sightings and events?   #CryptidWarfarePodcast #HistoryMonday #TheOdyssey #TrojanWar           Ways to Support and Connect with Brice Witherow :  ✅https://www.instagram.com/bricewitherow?igsh=dnJpYTRkem43aTRh     Help a brother out and buy me a Coffee  (Monthly or one time donation keeps the show going): We know there is room for improvement and have decided to ask you (Our amazing listeners) to help the podcast grow!

This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ . When you stop and really consider the existential risks of AI, it becomes very apparent that we should do something. Yet so few people do. Someone who's attempting to make up for that is Katja Grace, founder of AI Impacts, a forecasting and risk research project focused on AI safety and governance. Her surveys of the AI community's evaluations of risk have gotten her named to Time Magazine's 100 most influential people in AI for 2024 and her papers on those surveys have been some of the most discussed scientific papers of their time. She's an expert on technological trajectories, model scaling, and anthropic reasoning. We talk about what's driving Katja to do this work, the fundamental risks that she sees in AI, AI evolving unexpected goals, risks of agents, comparing unemployment risks and like extinction risks, artificial general intelligence, the stunning results of the surveys she's run on when AI will have serious effects, and… Trojan Horse racing. All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines! Transcript and URLs referenced at HumanCusp Blog.        

It's Friday, June 12th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Hundreds of Nigerians freed from Boko Haram captivity after months Ready for some good news? Hundreds of Nigerians, who had been abducted by Boko Haram Muslim militants during a devastating March attack, have just been freed after months in captivity, reports International Christian Concern. It's one of the largest releases of hostages in the region in recent years.  Officials claim that the Nigerian army rescued 360 captives from a remote hideout in the Mandara Mountains of Borno State near the border with the country of Cameroon. However, local community leaders insist that local negotiations, rather than military action, secured their freedom. Pentagon on lock down over “air quality issue” On June 11th, the Pentagon was placed on lockdown after officials detected an “air quality issue” inside the building, reports NewsNation.com. Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said the War Department activated standard safety procedures, including a “shelter-in-place order for affected areas. The Pentagon has sophisticated systems to ensure the safety of the building and its occupants. Those systems have detected an air quality issue necessitating precautionary measures until we determine its significance.” Trump adds SAVE Act to Pentagon reconciliation bill Despite the fact that the U.S. Senate has failed to make progress towards passing the much-needed Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act or SAVE America Act, which would secure our nation's elections, President Donald Trump is not throwing in the towel. In a post on Truth Social, he just announced a huge move to get the act passed by adding it directly to the upcoming $350 billion Pentagon reconciliation bill. This way, the legislation can clear the Senate with a simple majority, rather than the 60 votes needed under current rules. Referencing the SAVE Act, he wrote, “THE SAVE AMERICA ACT … will protect our Elections for Generations to come.  Our Warriors protect our most Sacred Rights, and Voting is at the top. Time to defend that Right for every American!” Yesterday, President Trump made these comments from the Oval Office. TRUMP: “All voters must show photo I.D.  So, you go to vote and show photo ID. Not complicated. But who could oppose it? … “All voters must show a little thing called proof of citizenship. No mail-in ballots except for illness, disability, military, or travel. So, we're being very progressive. We just don't want cheating. You see what's happening in California. They're rigging the election.” Urge your two U.S. Senator to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act or SAVE Act by calling 202-224-3121. That's 202-224-3121. Suspicious newly registered homeless votes in LA Mayoral race In a suspicious turn of events to block Spencer Pratt's candidacy for Los Angeles mayor, thousands of homeless voters were registered to vote at Los Angeles  shelters — despite many not living there or the facilities not having any beds at all, reports the New York Post. As Spencer Pratt was eliminated by Nithya Raman in the mayor's race during additional counting of votes on June 8th, one drop-in center, St. Joseph Center in Venice, which had received $600,000 from Nithya Raman, had 185 registered voters at the address but offers absolutely no accommodations.  After the New York Post inquired about this suspicious activity, the photograph of Raman presenting a check to St. Joseph's was taken down from its website. The revelations have prompted U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli to say he will investigate the concerns uncovered by The New York Post and “follow the evidence” to see if the law has been broken.  A review of records shows 7,600 voters tied to homeless shelters and service providers. The largest concentration of homeless voters was at the Midnight Mission in Skid Row, where voting records show 1,160 registrations — but its website shows it only has beds for 9% of that number -- 84 men and 36 women. Something stinks in Denmark! Proverbs 17:23 says, "A wicked man takes a covert bribe from his bosom to pervert the ways of justice." ACLU asserts a “religious right” to abortion in Indiana The Thomas More Society is weighing in on a pending ACLU-inspired abortion case before the Indiana Supreme Court, urging the state's highest jurists not to recognize a so-called “right” to abortion under the guise of religious freedom, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Indiana law bans most surgical abortions. Sadly, chemical abortions persist due to mail-order Abortion Kill Pills, which the state legislature has so far been unable to quash. The ACLU suit claims that denying Indiana mothers abortions would violate Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act, a 2015 law that says that government may not “substantially burden a person's exercise of religion.” Indiana Republican Attorney General Todd Rokita has appealed, and the Indiana Supreme Court agreed in April to take the case. Oral arguments are set to begin in September. Thomas Olp with the Thomas Moore Society, said, “This case is a Trojan Horse. The ACLU and its clients want to call this religious liberty, but it isn't—not under any historically honest understanding of the term. From Cicero to John Locke to the framers of Indiana's Constitution, the natural law tradition that gave us religious freedom has never treated the taking of innocent life as an exercise of religion.” Missionary David Brainerd had a heart to see Indians saved And finally, on June 12, 1744, David Brainerd was ordained by the Presbyterian Church to be a missionary to the New England Indians. He first went to an Indian village on the Housatonic River in Connecticut. Then, he studied the Algonquin languages in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. According to the Generations-published Taking the Americas for Jesus, Brainerd loved the Indians which is why he wanted them to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. He said, “I taught that men are sinners. All sinners will be judged by God. Then, I told them that Christ could save them. Christ was a great Savior.  All who believe in Jesus will be saved.” Even living in a wigwam and missing many meals, Brainerd was undeterred.  Indian witch doctors tried to poison him. He asked, “Why can't your magic harm me?” Sometimes Indians trusted in Christ. But many did not want to leave their idols. In 1745, Brainerd went to an Indian tribe in New Jersey where 100 Indians converted to Christianity. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here!” He died from tuberculosis on October 9, 1747, at the young age of 29.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, June 12th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

What if alien disclosure is not the revelation people have been waiting for, but the trap they never saw coming? In this episode, Tony and Fringe unpack the hidden danger buried inside the disclosure narrative. They explore how the promise of answers, advanced beings, and cosmic origins may become a Trojan Horse designed to pull people away from the truth of Jesus Christ. Fringe warns that the coming deception may not look distant, vague, or purely spiritual, but physical, convincing, and deeply personal. Together, they discuss why the church must prepare for a narrative that claims aliens created humanity, shaped religion, and hold the keys to mankind's future. This conversation is a sober warning that disclosure may arrive wrapped in wonder, but carrying a spiritual war inside.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

In this action-packed segment, the host sounds the alarm on a brutal dark money blitz targeting the South Carolina Freedom Caucus. Exposing shady groups like the Palmetto Truth Project, the host breaks down how weak campaign finance laws allow outright lies to flood voter mailboxes—though the conservative block managed to survive the hit! The conversation then tackles a terrifying "Trojan Horse" system: Western nations using online safety laws to sneak in total tracking systems, and how local grassroots pushback is the only line of defense left. Finally, the host delivers an expert breakdown of the historic, record-shattering voter turnout in the primary. With candidates like Ralph Norman and Rom Reddy splitting the conservative base, Pam Evette and Alan Wilson are propelled into a high-stakes gubernatorial runoff! www.whqr.org South Carolina politics, Freedom Caucus, Dark money, Primary runoff, Pam Evette, Alan Wilson, Digital ID tyranny, Voter turnout, Vote splitting, Conservative grassroots

Send us Fan MailAchilles doesn't want peace, he wants a name that survives him, and Troy (2004) builds its entire engine around that hunger. We come at this rewatch from two angles: some of us grew up with it on heavy DVD rotation, and some of us are seeing it for the first time and wondering why critics ever dismissed a movie with this much scale, sweat, and practical fire on screen. With Christopher Nolan's Odyssey on the horizon, we use Troy as a springboard to talk about the Iliad, Greek mythology, and why people are suddenly circling back to ancient epics again. We dig into what makes Troy feel different from early-2000s blockbusters: it plays things straight. That sincerity can read “too serious” if you're expecting quips, but it also lets the film breathe as a tragic war story. We talk through the craftsmanship that still pops: the grounded production design, the brutal battle staging, the Trojan Horse build that looks plausibly cobbled from shipwreck materials, and the fight choreography that makes the Achilles vs Hector duel genuinely thrilling. We also shout out the underrated details, from the costumes and armor to the hair and makeup choices that give the whole world a distinctive look. Then we get into the big adaptation question: what happens when you strip most of the gods out of a myth where the gods normally meddle constantly? We debate what the movie gains in realism and what it loses in fate, irony, and cosmic consequence, plus we poke at the timeline shortcuts that make the “they just left the beach” moment hard to swallow. We close with final grades, favorite performances, and a quick history detour on how Troy went from “probably a legend” to an archaeological site with real layers beneath Hisarlik in modern Turkey. If you enjoy smart movie talk, ancient history rabbit holes, and honest hot takes, subscribe, share this with a friend who loves epics, and leave us a five-star review with your spiciest Troy opinion.Twitter handles:Project Geekology: https://twitter.com/pgeekologyAnthony's Twitter: https://twitter.com/odysseyswowDakota's Twitter: https://twitter.com/geekritique_dakInstagram:https://instagram.com/projectgeekology?igshid=1v0sits7ipq9yYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@projectgeekologyGeekritique (Dakota):https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwciIqOoHwIx_uXtYTSEbASupport the show

Allie was joined by Megan Basham, culture reporter for the Daily Wire, to discuss her investigation into the After Party, a curriculum written by Curtis Chang, David French, and Russell Moore, which is being pushed onto churches in an effort to bring Christians of different political backgrounds together. Megan shares how this curriculum not only fails at its objective but is funded by secular progressives: Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors. We discuss why Rockefeller's interest in bankrolling Bible studies is a red flag, including the fact that among the other initiatives funded are organizations that are pro-LGBTQ and pro-abortion. What's in the After Party curriculum and what message is it really sending? We also look at the "AND Campaign" and how it is also funded by the Rockefellers. We explain how politics is a way to love our neighbor and why getting it right matters for the church. --- Timecodes: (01:12) What is The After Party? / Rockefeller funding (07:50) What are their motivations?

By Mario Seiglie - There is a lesson for us to learn from the Iliad, Homer's tale of the Trojan war where the Trojans were defeated being fooled by the Greeks with the gift of a huge wooden horse unknowingly filled with Greek soldiers. In this Powerpoint Presentation, we see that in Galatians, a "Trojan Horse" was

Most people approach The Iliad expecting the Trojan Horse. Instead, they find something darker: a story about wounded pride, uncontrollable rage, brutal violence and the moment vengeance finally gives way to pity.In this review, I break down Samuel Butler's translation of Homer's epic, the feud between Achilles and Agamemnon, Hector's terrifying presence, the petty interference of the gods, the oral tradition behind the poem, and whether a modern reader should actually tackle this ancient monster of a book.00:00 — An Ancient Epic in My Hands00:42 — The Samuel Butler Translation01:03 — Did Homer Actually Write The Iliad?02:23 — What Is an Epic Poem?03:05 — This Is Not the Trojan Horse Story03:40 — Achilles, Hector and the Gods04:53 — How This Edition Structures the Story06:15 — The Core of The Iliad: Rage07:33 — Achilles Loses Everything08:19 — The Gods Are Petty as Hell09:49 — Violence, Nature and Ancient Imagery11:41 — The Sections I Fast-Read13:19 — The Power of Oral Storytelling15:00 — The Brutality of Battle15:43 — Hector Smashes Through the Gates17:29 — No Simple Villains, Only Human Beings18:13 — Honour, Glory and the Heroic Code19:03 — Should You Read The Iliad?19:22 — The Odyssey Review Is Coming Connect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcasts.com/Discord: https://discord.gg/Xs9DjsurFqTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspodsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcasts/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcastsValue 4 Value Support:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcasts.com/supportPaypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/meremortalspodcast

Is this UK supplement company smart or crazy? For decades, the U.S. sports nutrition market has been a graveyard for ambitious British brands. They cross the Atlantic with huge UK market share, only to get crushed by the brutal realities of the American marketplace. But Applied Nutrition is throwing out the traditional expansion playbook. Instead of spending millions to acquire their own brand name trademark in the United States (forcing them to launch under the clunky moniker AN Supps) they are betting everything on operational excellence. In this content, I break down Applied Nutrition's massive $16 million cash acquisition of Buffalo-based manufacturer Nutrablend Group. Also, I explore why building supply chain resilience matters more than flashy marketing, and how their genius "Trojan Horse" flavor partnerships with Mondelēz International (Sour Patch Kids & Swedish Fish) might just unlock success on Walmart shelves.Key Takeaways From This Video:Margin Fix: Shifting manufacturing to Upstate New York instantly eliminates transatlantic shipping costs and import duties.Retail Security: Localized production capacity gives them the operational resilience required by retail giants like Walmart.North American Revenue Catalyst: The Nutrablend facility is projected to contribute $30 million in third-party manufacturing revenue by FY2027.What do you think? Can Applied Nutrition officially conquer America without using their own brand name?
