Built as the area's first frame house, it stood with just two rooms upstairs and two rooms downstairs. Yet even in its early days, the property became more than just a family home. It served as a stagecoach stop for weary travelers, a lively tavern, a doctor's office, and even a bank. Most remarkably, its cistern is believed to have hidden enslaved people seeking freedom along the Underground Railroad—adding a powerful layer of human history to its walls.Over the decades, the Red House grew into the Cheney Mansion, a place of grandeur and prominence in Jerseyville.

Many say the spirits of former residents and visitors never left. Among them is P.D. Cheney himself, whose presence is often felt within the mansion's historic halls. Reports of unexplained sounds, mysterious figures, and an undeniable energy have convinced many that the mansion is still very much alive with ghostly activity.From stagecoach guests who never checked out to long-past owners still keeping watch, the Cheney Mansion is a site where history and the paranormal intertwine.Today on The Grave Talks, we sit down with Roger Scheffel to explore the incredible history and chilling hauntings of this Illinois landmark.#HauntedHouse #HauntedIllinois #TheGraveTalks #GhostStories #HauntedHistory #HauntedMansion #UndergroundRailroad #HistoricHauntings #HauntedPlaces #UnexplainedPhenomenaLove real ghost stories?

While the term “Underground Railroad” is probably most associated with enslaved people fleeing to free northern states and Canada in the 19th century, there was actually a less formal southern-bound route and destination centuries earlier. We learn about this overlooked aspect of North American history with a woman who gives talks through the Florida Humanities Speakers Bureau. She'll be giving a talk on this topic on Thursday, June 18 in Fort Lauderdale.

Peter Miele, Senior Project Leader with the Susquehanna National Heritage Area, joins the show to explore how the region's natural landscapes, waterways, and historic communities are preserved and shared with the public. He discusses the mission of the Heritage Area, highlighting efforts to connect people with the Susquehanna River's environmental, cultural, and historical significance.In his new book White Care: The Impact of Race on American Infrastructure, Prof. Cotten Seiler examines a provocative argument: the decline of U.S. infrastructure isn't just about cost—it's about who benefits. He explores how, beginning in the mid-20th century, white Americans withdrew support from public systems like schools, parks, and transportation as those systems became more racially integrated.

Colson Whitehead is one the few novelists, and the only still alive, to win two Pulitzer Prizes for Fiction—for “The Underground Railroad” and “The Nickel Boys.” Whitehead's protagonist in the Harlem trilogy is Ray Carney, a small-time crook who fences stolen goods while working as a furniture salesman. Ray first appeared in “Harlem Shuffle,” and the final book of the trilogy, “Cool Machine,” will be published in July. David Remnick and Whitehead discuss the trilogy's second book, “Crook Manifesto,” and how David Bowie inspired Whitehead's genre-hopping approach to fiction. This segment originally aired on July 21, 2023. Further reading and listening:  “The Theresa Job,” by Colson Whitehead “Colson Whitehead on Historical Heists,” by Deborah Treisman “The Match,” by Colson Whitehead   New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday. Join host David Remnick as he discusses the latest in politics, news, and current events in conversation with political leaders, newsmakers, innovators, New Yorker staff writers, authors, actors, and musicians.

Step into the pages of American history in this fascinating conversation with retired Brigadier General, historian, and author David Deputy. What began as the purchase of an old Delaware mill house turned into a decades-long investigation that uncovered remarkable connections to some of the most significant events in American history.In this episode, David shares the incredible story of the Spring Grove Mill House, a historic property with roots stretching back to the colonial era and the American Revolution. We explore the site's connection to General George Washington's Philadelphia Campaign and the pivotal 1777 skirmish known as General Weedon's Foray, an event that helped Washington track British movements before the Battle of Brandywine. David also discusses how his research uncovered layers of history tied to early industry, the War of 1812, the Civil War, the Underground Railroad, and other defining moments in America's past.Through detective work, historical documents, and a passion for preserving the past, David demonstrates how one seemingly ordinary property can reveal extraordinary stories hidden in plain sight.

The Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell reflects on her time as Ontario's lieutenant governor and what defines the province she served for nearly a decade. Then, more than 60 years after Canada adopted the Maple Leaf and Ontario unveiled its own flag, why didn't everyone rally around these new symbols? #onpoli's John Michael McGrath explains. And we visit Salem Chapel in St. Catharines, where Harriet Tubman once worshipped and where the legacy of the Underground Railroad and the fight for civil rights still resonates today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Harriet Tubman was a heroic abolitionist in the cause to end chattel slavery. She was also an excellent astronomer and naturalist — and an expert birder. She mastered the hoot of the Barred Owl, using it as a signal throughout the Underground Railroad to let freedom seekers know she had arrived. This week is Black Birders Week!

Birder and naturalist Marcus Rosten loves to watch the American Herring Gulls that flock to Freedom Park in Buffalo, New York. Once a final stop for freedom seekers on the Underground Railroad, the park is also known for supporting birds that face an uncertain future.

In this episode our civics teacher and neighborhood political strategist L. Joy debuts a brand-new series: The Porch Light. Drawing inspiration from the simple yet powerful tradition of leaving a light on for loved ones, L. Joy frames democracy itself as a light—something that offers guidance, protection, and hope in uncertain times. This episode lays out the foundation for the Porch Light series, a syllabus that will run through the end of the year. She takes listeners on a journey through history, memory, and symbolism, reminding us how light has always signaled safety and freedom, from lanterns in the windows of the Underground Railroad to the North Star guiding the enslaved toward liberation.

In this episode of Horse First, Lockie Phillips sits down with long-time collaborator and now teaching team member, Lori Halliday. This conversation explores a shift happening quietly within horsemanship—a movement that is less visible, less performative, and increasingly happening beneath the surface. Together, they discuss what it means to carry forward work that challenges traditional systems, and why meaningful change often doesn't happen in the spotlight. Using the idea of an “underground railroad” of horsemanship, this episode looks at how people are being guided—sometimes gently, sometimes reluctantly—out of dominance-based approaches and into something more honest, more humane, and more sustainable for the horse. They also explore the responsibility of teaching within this space, how to avoid guru dynamics as the work grows, and what it means to develop real authority without losing independence of thought. This is a conversation about quiet influence, long-term change, and the kind of work that doesn't need to announce itself to be effective. Because not all progress is visible. But it is happening.

A creepy old house. A terrifying basement. A hidden Underground Railroad tunnel beneath the floor. And one frightened boy who makes the worst possible choice: he decides to see where it leads.In this terrifying episode of Weekly Spooky, Curtis Tucker is afraid of the unfinished basement in his family's old home — the cold concrete, the rotting doors, the flickering light, and the strange wooden shed tucked away in the corner. When his father reveals that the shed hides a tunnel once used as part of the Underground Railroad, Curtis's fear turns into obsession.One rainy night, unable to sleep and desperate to conquer his nightmares, Curtis creeps downstairs with a flashlight and opens the shed. What begins as a child's attempt to face his fear becomes a claustrophobic crawl through dark underground passages… and ends in a place far worse than anything he imagined.If you love basement horror, hidden room stories, secret tunnels, old house horror, serial killer fiction, creepy kid horror, and scary stories with a brutal twist ending, this one will make you think twice before opening any door you were never meant to find.Turn out the lights, my spookies… but maybe leave the basement door locked.Come On In — by Morgan Moore

This episode explores the Peter Mott House in Lawnside, New Jersey, a modest home that served as part of the Underground Railroad and a focal point for local resistance to slavery. It places the house in broader context—northern slavery, Quaker-led Free Haven, and the risks individuals like Peter and Elizabeth Mott took to shelter freedom seekers. Preserved as a museum, the Peter Mott House shows how ordinary places and everyday courage shaped a hidden but powerful fight for freedom.

Blood Coming to America (1) (audio) David Eells, 4/26/26 (Note: Parts of this may be a little scary for children. They could at least need encouragement in faith.)    American Flag Bleeds Marie Kelton – End of March 2026 (David's notes in red) While I was at work, I went to the back room in my work area to get something. I saw that someone had stuck an American flag in a box located on top of a shelf so that the flag was just hanging over the floor. I then had an open vision where I saw drops of blood falling from the American flag.   Blood up to the Horse's Bridle Marie Kelton - 4/16/26 As I was driving to work, I had an open vision. My windshield wipers were going, and blood splashed on my windshield, covering it. I saw the following written in the blood: “Blood of the saints.” Then my windshield wipers wiped it off. But blood splashed on my windshield again, and what was written this time was, “Blood of the innocent.” My windshield wipers wiped off again. Then I heard a voice say, “America will burn.” (This is a quote from Dumitru Duduman's revelation. https://www.ubm1.org/?page=dumitru_duduman-5 ) “He said, The Russian spies have discovered where the most powerful nuclear missiles are in America. "It will start with the world calling for 'peace, peace'. Then there will be an internal revolution in America, started by the Communists. Some of the people will start fighting against the government. The government will be busy with internal problems. Then from the oceans, Russia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Central America, Mexico, and two other countries (which I cannot remember) will attack! The Russians will bombard the nuclear missile silos in America. America will burn". Then, in the open vision on both sides of me on the highway, I saw that the whole land was covered in blood like a lake. In the vision, I had stopped my car and stepped out of it to look at the scene in shock. In the vision, my hair was its normal color again. The blood reminded me of the verse about it being about as high as the horse's bridle. Rev.14:20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and there came out blood from the winepress, even unto the bridles of the horses, as far as a thousand and six hundred furlongs.   Marie Kelton - 4/19/26 At my work, we have a big American flag in front of the store. After finishing my work for the night, I walked out to my car. I saw the flag blowing in the wind. As I was walking to my car, I looked back at the flag, and I had an open vision. I saw the flag had blood dripping from it, just like it was in the vision of it hanging from the shelf.   Marie Kelton - 4/21/2026 While I was having lunch at work, I had an open vision of the Statue of Liberty. She had a sad look on her face, and she was crying tears of blood. The flame on her torch was a real flame, while the rest of her was a statue. (America will burn)   4-23-2026 During the morning meeting, David asked me to seek the Lord with these questions about the visions: what is the cause of the blood, who did it, and when. After the meeting, I asked the Lord “why” concerning the visions above, and a verse came to mind about broken cisterns that hold no water. Jer.2:13 For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. (They cannot contain the “water of the Word.”) Then I heard the Lord say, He would lessen the judgment if His people would seek Him. Antichrist vision, and World War III vision - April 24, 2026 During worship, I had an open vision of ancient Rome it was an open auditorium with roman pillars around the auditorium The sky was blue with clouds. I saw the back of a Ceaser he had a golden laurel crown on his head. He had a red cape on which is called a paludamentum. The Ceaser was on platform there was a large crowd in front of him. (Representing the anti-christ leadership of a revived Roman Empire.)  I could see the demon in the Ceaser, and I can see the demons in the crowd I heard the crowd say, "Who is like the beast,". The large crowd then came together and turned into a giant ceaser. The sky turned into a night sky with a lot stars in it. I then saw a giant Jesus Christ come and I saw the foot of Jesus step on the giant Ceaser and squish him.    Antichrist vision, and world war III vision I had another open vision, the Lord was sitting next to me and He had a newspaper, it was open to where I could see it. The newspaper page said in bold print World War III is happening soon, then in little letters it said underneath Peace Peace, sudden destruction. The Lord shook the newspaper in his hands as He was holding it open a couple of times. I saw this multiple times. The Lord then folded the news paper and laid it on the floor in a square. The front of the news paper said the Daily News.  (There are several newspapers in the world called The Daily News, one is in New York, another in India, another in Australia,  another South Africa and one Britain etc. ) 1Th 5:3 When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape.   War and Blood on U.S. Hands Michael Boldea, October 2003 Psalm 32:6-7 For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You in a time when You may be found, surely in a flood of great waters they shall not come near him. You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. It was October 11th 2003, and I dreamt I was kneeling by my bedside praying, when I felt a presence behind me. I turned, and a man was standing there, dressed in white, his hands clasped in front of him. It was the same man I had seen in a dream some time earlier. “Why didn't you say something, if you were standing there”, I asked. “I would never interrupt your communion with the Father”, he answered, “it is a precious thing. Take my hand, I must show you something. I took his hand, and suddenly we were standing in front of the US Marine War Memorial. It is a statue depicting a group of soldiers raising the American flag on Iwo Jima in World War II. I looked to the man standing on my right, but he pointed toward the statue, and said, “look at the flag”. As I was watching the flag flap in the wind, a red spot appeared in its center, it began to grow, and spread turning the flag red as it went. (Just as Marie's revelation) It was like someone had spilled this red liquid in the flag's center, and absorbing it the stain continued to grow. I watched as the entire flag became saturated until it finally started to drip. To my surprise, I realized the liquid dripping from the flag was blood. “What is this supposed to mean?” I asked the man. “The leaders of this nation have war on their hearts, and on their lips, and soon they will have blood on their hands. The banner of war is upon this land”, the man answered solemnly. Before I could ask anything more, I found myself sitting up in bed in a cold sweat. I shared this dream with a friend that Sunday night, as I happened to be speaking in his church in Topeka. I also shared it with Geno and the rest of the staff here at the Hand of Help office, but in my heart, I had decided not to make it public until after the holidays. The reasons for choosing not to share this until after the New Year are something I choose not to elaborate on at the present time. Then three weeks after this initial dream, I had another. I dreamt the same man was standing by my bedside, but he was no longer dressed in white. Over his robe, he had a breastplate, and as he stood, I could see the handle of a sword protruding from behind his right shoulder. It was the fiercest image I had ever seen in my life, but I was not afraid. Kindness still showed in his eyes, and I knew he meant me no harm. As I looked up at him, the one thing that struck me was that his breastplate was not shiny. For some reason, I had expected it to shine, rather it was dented and scarred, and looked as though it had seen much battle. He looked down at me with what I could only describe as disappointment in his eyes. Before I could speak, he said, “For a vessel to fulfill its task, substance must be poured into it, then that same substance must be poured out. If it is never poured out, it will overflow, being of use to no one. Do you understand?” I nodded halfheartedly, although I knew what he was trying to tell me. “When a vessel is chosen, it is an honor”, he continued, “be faithful in completing your task and share what is given you without delay. Come, I will show you once more. Once again, we stood before the monument, and the same scene played out. “When will this happen?” I asked before he could turn away. “When the Father wills it”, he answered. “His will be done”. “Can't you ask Him?” I asked, realizing only after the words had left my mouth how infantile the question had been. “You speak of things your mind cannot comprehend,” he said. “You speak of time concerning the One to whom centuries are no more than a blink of an eye. Be diligent in what you have been shown, and more will be revealed. All things proceed as He ordains, that is all you are given to know for now”. The dream ended, and I found myself in my bed. I have had some time to contemplate this dream, and if I were one given to speculation, there are many theories I could come up with, but I am not. What I do know is whether, in retaliation for a certain action, or as a preemptive measure, this nation will set out on a course that will eventually be the cause of innocents losing their lives. This nation will be perceived as having blood on its hands, and it will stir the emotions of the world against it. I pray with all my heart this does not occur, that all who are denoting peace and safety for generations to come are right, and I am wrong. Regardless of what some may think, I do not want to see the judgment of God fall on this land, but the path we have chosen as a nation is leading us to it. More than ever, I urge you to pray for this nation. and its leaders, because it is our duty as children of God to do so. May He who ordains all things be with you and guide you, knowing that in Him there is perfect safety, and perfect peace. My heartfelt gratitude and thanks go out to all those who pray for and support this work, being more than certain that your reward will be great indeed. Jonah 3:8-9 “But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God; yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. Who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away His fierce anger so that we may not perish.”   Earthquake, Slaughter, Economic Destruction  Charlie and Linda Smith - July 2013 (David's notes in red) If the following scenes make you fearful, remember, Pro.11:4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath; But righteousness delivereth from death. Charlie's Dreams What started out to be a beautiful day to travel and visit a nearby city turned out to be a horror story that we both became witnesses to. First Night's Dream As the dream began to unfold, Linda and I were traveling by truck to a city to the north, not far from us. (All of us here know this city, which has a high population of “Christians” but far fewer disciples.) We traveled on a four-lane highway to our destination. Our intention was to buy something we needed, have a meal, and return home. As we came to the city limits and topped a hill, I saw the store to my right and pulled into the parking lot. We must have been early because there were only two or three cars in the parking lot. Our thought was to run in, get what we came for, have a meal and leave. But while at the store, the place trembled and shook. We thought, “QUAKE! We have to leave”. I told Linda, “Hurry, and I'll get the truck”. But I couldn't find where I had parked it. When I finally got to the truck, the dream was ending, and we became separated from one another. It was a fearful feeling. I did not like the dream or the way it was being played out. I woke up full of fear. Second Night The second night, the dream started again. It picked up as I entered town at the store/shopping center. This time, I didn't park in the store parking lot, but decided to park the truck across the highway, behind a hill of dirt in view of the store. Still separated from Linda, I found myself walking and looking around. No one was around. Everything had now changed. Everything was a dirty, dark gray color. (The color of death.) The sky, the land, the town also. It looked like ash from a wood stove. I was looking at what was left of a city. Everything was destroyed. The city was gone, except for a building or two in the distance here and there. The streets were empty -- no cars, no people, nothing, only piles of gray rubble where buildings once stood. Later in the evening, as darkness closed in, I saw people - a family of three or four running through the streets, running and hiding. I believe they were trying to get away from the city or someone in the city because they looked around before they moved again. As I watched, I saw three men of dark complexion and demon-possessed. The demon-possessed men ran upon a woman, her husband, her son, and a small girl, with swords (which were curved) and daggers and took off their heads. (This curved sword is the Muslim scimitar, which is most effective for cutting off heads with one blow. How could such an attack come on a city in darkness in the U.S.? This certainly wouldn't happen with swords in the U.S., where guns are everywhere, right? Notice it is after the earthquakes here that martial law will be used to take guns away and restrain people in their homes or FEMA camps. Many could be killed quietly before this is found out, and it certainly wouldn't make the news in the US today. Most or all of this would be blamed on deaths from earthquakes and fire. Jihadists always target as many Christians and Jews as possible. God Himself has warned the rebellious: Amo.9:10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, The evil shall not overtake nor meet us. ...7:17 therefore thus saith Jehovah: Thy wife shall be a harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line (by earthquakes, or war, or civil war?); and thou thyself shalt die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land. It is Islam's goal to behead Christians, unless they deny Christ. They are doing this now in places where they can get away with it. Rev.20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God.... Many will have to die in this way, or they will not enter the Kingdom. Others, through maturity, will be alive and remain until the coming of the Lord. A few days later, the Lord reminded me of something in the dream: the woman and her child who had escaped. He had to remind me of the timing of the birth, then the escape, because I couldn't remember it. (The Woman, a parable in Revelation 12 of the Church who bears the fruit of Jesus, will escape. Also, the Woman who brings forth the corporate Man-child at this time will escape into the wilderness.) The woman gave birth to her child at the same time Linda and I were at the store/shopping center when we felt the shaking (quake). Later, the woman took the child and escaped (the sword). I thought of the Woman and Man-child escaping the Dragon, as in Revelation 12:4, or escaping Herod the Beast, as in Matthew 2:13. (As we have seen, the Man-child is manifested after the earthquakes begin destroying America.) After all night watching this dream, I asked the Lord, “Lord, is this dream from You, or am I having nightmares?” I said, “I don't want to see anymore. Lord, if the dream is from You, give me a confirmation. Give the same dream to Linda tonight”. And God did. Third Night Again, the dream picked up where it had stopped the night before. More death and destruction everywhere. Then the dream changed. In the distance, I saw a three or four-story building. I quickly arrived there and found myself entering a door into the building. Inside was dark, except for some light that came in through a window. I crossed a large room of the building and came to a staircase going to the top floor. When I arrived at the top floor, before me was a steel double door. As I went in, I found myself in a large, dark conference room with a large round table with a hanging light illuminating the table, where seven men in dark suits were gathered. Six men were sitting around the table, each having a stack of papers before him. One man, the leader or head man, stood before the six men and was speaking. They were going over plans to destroy the economy. Each of the six men was in control of a different part of the economy. They were in disagreement about what was about to happen. The head man who stood over them speaking was enraged because the other six men were complaining, saying, “It won't work”, shaking their stacks of papers before the head man who stood. They were railing back and forth when the head man began to curse and say, “This economy is finished”. He said, “Tomorrow at this time it will be over” (or finished). (Shortly after the earthquakes, the financial ‘powers that be' will bring down the economy in order to control the people and bring in their New World Order.) He cursed again, struck the table with his fist, and said, “Don't worry. Everything will be all right; you will see”. The six men, yet greatly troubled, went along with the plan. The dream ended. The Lord gave Linda and me the same dreams. It's from God. Linda's Dreams First Night I had just gone to bed, closed my eyes, and somehow I just appeared in this dream. Charles and I were in our truck, and he was driving. He drove to a city and found a parking place where we both got out and walked to a building. Charles went inside, so I followed him. I didn't know where I was or why I was there. While we were inside looking around at some things, the building began to shake. It shook for what seemed like 30 or 35 seconds. In my dream, we were trapped in this building. There were other people in this building, about 12 of us in all. A man about 35 years old came up to me and said, “Please come with me; I think I know of a way out”. He grabbed a long rope, and we went up some stairs to the second floor. The man took the rope and tied knots in it almost all the way down the length of it, and then tied it to a steel I-beam and then dropped it out of a hole where a window had been. We went back and told the others, and each one climbed down the rope, and we all were able to get out. Once outside, we could see that most of the buildings of this city were like great heaps of rubble, but a few smaller buildings were badly damaged but were still standing. Then, suddenly, there was a four or five-second aftershock, and everyone scattered. Charles said to me, “Just wait here. I'll go get the truck, and we'll get out of this place”. So I stood there waiting for about three or four minutes. I decided to walk down the same way Charles had gone. When I got to the parking lot, there weren't any cars or anyone there, so I quickly turned and ran back to where I had been waiting. Then I walked 20 feet to the front of the building, looking up and down the street, but saw no one. I walked back and waited. I just stood there, not really knowing what to do, just standing there all alone. It was starting to get dark, and Charles had not returned. Suddenly, I saw a young woman with a little boy about three years old coming down the sidewalk on the other side of the street. She was quickly passing by me. I called out to her, but she turned left at the corner and, crossing the street, she kept on walking. I ran down to the corner to see where she was going. As she got to the end of that block, three men stepped out in front of her. She screamed, and two of the men began to beat her. The other man grabbed her little boy and, with his raised sword, hit the boy on top of his head, cutting him in half all the way down, and I saw his intestines falling out of his little body. I was close enough to see the man's eyes, and they were black as coal. Laughing, he picked up the two halves of the body and carried them away. The other two men, drawing their swords, began to slash the woman numerous times. Both men, each grabbed one of her ankles and dragged her body away. I ran back to the building where I had been waiting for Charles to return. Fear had overtaken me, but seeing the rope still hanging down from where we had escaped from this building earlier, I climbed up, went back in the building, and pulled the rope up so no one else could get in. I was so fearful that my whole body was shaking because what I had just witnessed was so horrifying. I cried out, “Jesus, help me. Fill me with Your peace, Lord”. In the dream, I lay down on the floor to go to sleep, and I woke up from the dream. I did not write down the dream at that time because I just wanted to forget it. Second Night The second dream continued where the first left off: In the dream, I lay down and went right off to sleep. When I woke up, it was late afternoon, and I was lying on the floor in the building. I got up and looked out the hole where a window had been. I wanted so badly to find a way out of this city. I got the rope and climbed down to the sidewalk. I decided to walk 15 blocks down the east side of the city. I walked block after block, counting each one and looking for a road that would take me out of there. At the 15th block, I saw no way out going this way, so I turned around and went back to my starting point. I decided to walk 15 blocks west and check it out. I got to the 15th block, and the sun was setting, and I knew I didn't have much time because I didn't want to be out after dark again. Then I heard voices. I looked in the direction from where I thought the voices were coming. I saw a park-like setting. I looked and saw some people in the park -- a man and a woman with two kids. I walked down a little way and hid behind a large tree. In the far distance, I saw a big fire. Then I saw some of those demonized people surrounding the man, woman, and the two kids. They began screaming and begging, “Don't hurt us, please”. The kids were crying. The demonized men had curved swords, and some of the men began to strip them. The ones with the swords were cutting all their heads off, then arms and legs. Others of them carried the body parts to the fire and threw them on the fire (to destroy the evidence). I slipped away, going back to the building where I had been staying. I ran the first eight blocks as fast as I could. I was getting very tired, so I tried to walk at a fast pace for the next seven blocks. I heard voices behind me saying, “There is another one. Get her. Don't let her get away. Hurry, hurry, she's getting away. Get her”. The voices were louder and getting closer. I ran into a dark alley and hid. Then I heard a scream and slowly looked out of the alley and saw that they had caught a pregnant woman. One of the men took his sword and plunged it into her chest, and cut her all the way down her body, and her baby fell out. I saw the baby's and the woman's bloody bodies mutilated. The men dragged the bodies back toward where the fire was. I woke up from the dream. Again, I did not write down these dreams; I did not want to. I just wanted the dreams to stop. I just wanted to forget all of it.   Mena Lee - 04/05/2013 (David's notes in red) About two nights ago, the Lord gave me a dream where He was speaking directly to me. He said, “Al Qaeda is here in the country”. I responded with, “What?!” The Lord continued, “Al Qaeda is in the country, and Obama knows that they are here”. (This administration has been using Jihadists overseas to fight for his causes. It will be so here, too. Islamic Jihadists have been entering the country through Mexico, disguised as Mexicans who do not speak Spanish. These cells are placed strategically all over the U.S. now. This has been reported for years. This is not about blaming that President, who is a vessel of God's wrath to judge apostate Christianity. God is the one who has pronounced these judgments. So what is the moral of this story? Fight against the government? No. Deal with God, Who works all things after the counsel of His own will. Pro.16:7 When a man's ways please Jehovah, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. Be Holy and be safe.) “They are remaining low-key and not wanting to draw attention to themselves. I will show you where they are hiding”. And with that, the Lord began to show me places throughout the country where they were stationed. I saw small businesses, beauty supply stores, local grocery stores, and small shops. The Lord said, “Tell the people that a war event is coming to the coastline of this country”. And with that, I woke up. Four nights later, He returned to me again with the same thing. The Lord told me to study the book of Zephaniah as a reference on what is to come. He also informed me that the fourth month would be significant. (Please read Zephaniah. How can this be seen as a judgment coming now? Zephaniah is a prophecy of many things that happen almost simultaneously. It is a prophecy of coming judgment on apostate Judah, representing apostate “Spirit-filled” Christianity. Then a warning about the coming Day of the Lord to those who refuse to repent. Also, a demand for repentance so they will be hidden in this time of judgment. Then there is the judgment of their persecutors. Then there is a destruction of Nineveh (the capital of the Assyrian Empire), which I was shown was the U.S. head of the world Beast. [Not to be confused with that ultimate judgment at the end of the tribulation.] Then the corruption of apostate Jerusalem, as a type of the false leadership of God's people. Then the matured remnant of the Bride, who has been purified of all of the above and blessed. Read it and be exhorted to be in the secret place of the Most High, a Psalm 91 Passover of Judgment.) This morning, I asked for a word concerning the date of a factious attack on 4/11, which came to pass, and I looked down on Micah 4:11. This was the Sennacherib scenario in which the Assyrians attacked Jerusalem [in confirmation of the text above]. In this case, the Bride, Jerusalem, is victorious over the enemy army that had conquered the rest of God's people. I believe God is speaking of a spirit army that is using apostates to come against the remnant. This is a spiritual earthquake of sorts. Mic.4:9 Now why dost thou cry out aloud? Is there no king in thee, is thy counsellor perished, that pangs have taken hold of thee as of a woman in travail? 10 Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and shalt dwell in the field, and shalt come even unto Babylon: there shalt thou be rescued; there will Jehovah redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies. 4:11 And now many nations are assembled against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye see [our desire] upon Zion. 12 But they know not the thoughts of Jehovah, neither understand they his counsel; for he hath gathered them as the sheaves to the threshing-floor. 13 Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion; for I will make thy horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass; and thou shalt beat in pieces many peoples: and I will devote their gain unto Jehovah, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth. I also received a confirmation: Zec.12:8 In that day shall Jehovah defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of Jehovah before them. 9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. I also received: Isa.28:22 Now therefore be ye not scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for a decree of destruction have I heard from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, upon the whole earth. (Earthquakes and WWIII.F 23 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech. 24 Doth he that ploweth to sow plow continually? doth he [continually] open and harrow his ground? Meaning God is almost through breaking up the fallow ground of His remnant; He is ready to plant.   Linda L. Gray - 08/29/2014 I just finished listening to UBM's Wednesday's (8/27/14) audio file while at my mom's house for my caregiving responsibilities. The topic of the evening was the violence of the ISIS/Islamic movement and the possibility of another incident happening on a large scale within our country. In the early morning hours of Friday, August 22nd, I had the following dream: In the dream, I was alone in my home. It was daytime, and the sun was shining. My front door was open so fresh air could come into the house. I walked over to one of my windows facing the front of the house (it faces the east). Standing in the distance, I could see a line of men dressed in black clothing (similar to ISIS photos). In front of the black-dressed men was a large pit. Inside the pit were bundles of packaged newspapers (like you see prior to delivery to a news stand). While looking at this strange sight, the newspapers suddenly exploded up into the air. Discerning that these individuals and the situation were dangerous and threatening, I went over to my front door to close and secure it. Upon reaching the door, a demonic-type figure was standing outside. I quickly shut the door and locked it. Whatever or whoever the entity was, they were not permitted to come inside my home. The door was wide open. After securing the door, I picked up my pet parrot and proceeded to go to the “secret place” (Psalm 91). Isa.26:20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee; hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. End of dream. Additional notes: As a note in history, western Pennsylvania was involved in the Underground Railroad during the Civil War. In designated homes, secret rooms were built to house individuals running away from slave owners. Another reference would be what the family of Corrie ten Boom did in preparing their home to hide Jewish people from the Nazis in (The Hiding Place). Could all the coming bloodletting have anything to do with America reaping what it has sown with millions of slaughtered babies and constant wars? Here is a portion of Dana Coverstone's Dream on 5/19/23   Let Me Show You Something (David's notes in red) ….Then he (the Lord) said to me, “There's more to see.” Suddenly, I'm on the southern border. I saw an enormous line of volcanoes that seemed to have sprung up overnight. They covered from the western point of California all the way to Texas. Literally, these were volcanoes on the border. (Hell's demons coming out of hell upon the earth to use the wicked enemies. Rev.9:2-3 And he opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.) They were very tall; they shadowed the ground. And I cannot emphasize this enough. These volcanoes on the border were (shooting) hundreds of miles up into the air. The ground was shaking, seemingly creaking, and the volcanoes trembled, and they started erupting magma and lava. And then suddenly the entire border shook, and I saw the volcanoes appear to grow, and the ground below them looked like it was torn. It was like, how a tree that gets knocked over in the wind or damaged by a tornado, there was an area of the earth that opens up at the base of the tree trunk. So the volcanoes tip backwards, they're still spewing lava and all these other things. (Hell on earth) But there was a hole where the volcanoes came up along the entire southern border. (This is a demonic empowered invasion over the southern U.S. border.) At that moment all sorts of people dressed like normal migrants came running out, and they were sprinting. (This would be in addition to those who have already come across the border and those anarchists and radical Muslims already inside the US. And the left-wing military faction. It has been reported that millions of migrants are below the border waiting, and many are military-age men, and also, there are many Chinese Communists there to support their DS. MS-13 has been an arm of the DS military too.) They were running as hard and as fast as they possibly could to get into the country. As they ran, they were taking off backpacks, and they were pulling out weapons, and they were putting them together. They were unfolding them, and they were pulling them out. They were putting clips in, but they're doing it as they were running. The people on the American side were watching the eruptions, watching the magma and the lava and the smoke and the ash cloud, and they didn't even notice the people who were running towards them. They pointed to the sky and acting as if they were watching fireworks, they were just, like, “Oh wow! Look at that.” And they are pointing over there, and over here and saying things like, “Look at that!” They were looking up, and they did not see any of the people who were rushing towards them. (Because of enemy distractions.) And now they were running up and they were shooting. They were teaming up on people, they were storming properties, but they took nothing. When they went into the buildings and the houses, they took nothing; they just shot and killed the people. They sprinted on and they were moving with skilled intent and military precision. They would come together to a house, they would go in, and you would see gunfire; they would run out, not taking a thing. They were brutal. They showed no mercy. And some carried samurai swords, and they were beheading many people along the way. I saw death and destruction. I saw danger. I saw chaos on the border and it was rushing towards us. It was rushing north. This was on purpose, a “dismantling,” and this was also on purpose, a “distraction”.  Back in Times Square, the broadcaster was informing citizens that spectacular eruptions on the southern border were getting people out of their homes to watch. (The DS MSM involved again to cover up) They were saying, “Hey, folks, you need to go out of your homes and watch these incredible magma fields and watch these incredible volcanic eruptions that are going on. Go outside and watch.” He said, “If you live within 100 miles of the border, you need to go outside immediately and see if you can see them from where you are.” (On foot, they could not go very far without stealing vehicles from their victims. Maybe 100 miles before they were dispersed enough it would be hard to make war on them.) And I said to the man (the Lord) that the newsman is trying to get people outside so they will be killed, and the man nodded. And then he said, “There's more.” Suddenly, we're standing outside the Capitol of Washington, DC. Then I could hear all kinds of noise going on inside the Capitol building. And someone yelling with a bullhorn. But these people are talking about taking the country back (Democrats will join the Communist Chinese and the Islamics like they are now. Obviously they plan to take the country back from the Alliance and Trump) and making people listen. (This fits with their M.O. They can't win by vote.) There were screams that seemed very demonic and just wild coming out of humans. It was like growls and screams and cries. Demonic, almost like banshees. And there was a fence outside the Capitol building. They surrounded it. But suddenly, the police and military came, and they tied ropes, making loops and threw them up on the tops of the fence, like a noose. They were pulling the fences down with all their might. They bent the fences over. (We have been told that military tribunals are being held there at this time. Hence the fence.) And then just as suddenly, the doors of the Capitol pushed open and the congressmen, congresswomen, senators, faces of people I recognized, people who are in power, leadership, elected officials at the federal level. (Satanists, the head of the dragon, devouring the people.) They all came rushing out into the streets, and they were jumping and leaping and stepping over those fences. (This could just symbolize that the leftist DC leadership, some under investigation, will escape and will join and be behind this invasion against the people. As far as I know, they have not met in the Capitol anymore.) And they were armed with guns and clubs. And they began attacking and beating any citizen who was close. (Symbolizing their abuse of the people.) They left this extremely bloody trail. And they pursued people until the people became so exhausted that they dropped from exhaustion, and then they beat them to death. I watched elected officials beat these people to death. (Now I do not think this is what's going to (physically) happen. I think the whole point of it is these people are the ones that make the laws.) This is horrific because they were beating people to death in the streets, and it was getting darker. (Through more demon possession and death.) It was horrific to the point I said to the man, “Why are our elected officials doing this to the people?” Well, this time he didn't move, he didn't nod, he didn't move his head at all, but he said, “There's more to see.” And it suddenly became very, very quiet. (Folks, we now have laws that are changing and shifting, we have people who believe that men can be pregnant, that men can be women, that women can be men, and everything else. And we absolutely know better. We're starting to see culture believe every single lie that's being pushed out there, and then we have new laws being passed to protect those lies. Think about that.) The Congress began to beat these people to death. They were attacking ordinary citizens. I saw families taking pictures outside the capital who were just pummeled and beaten, and the elected officials who were running were covered in blood from the people that they had beaten to death. (Meaning they are guilty of the blood of the people.) And they just kept on going, looking for somebody else to attack and beat on. The man didn't move his head when I said, “Why are elected officials doing this to the people?” He didn't move his head at all. He just simply said, “There's more to see.” (Well, obviously, we know the government is corrupt, and they are compromised, everything it is and was and it's going to be. It's not to be trusted, it's not going to be a help to us at all.) (And the Alliance has gathered all their crimes to prosecute and, in many cases, execute them as is going on now. So, they are desperately trying to save their lawless lives.)   AMERICA The Bison with Two Heads REPENT NOW!!! Daniel Masika - 7/9/25 (David's notes in red) Vision: I saw a pregnant wolf coming out of the desert, and it was ready to deliver, for her time was due. The wolf was hungry for blood and fresh flesh. It looked somewhat like a bear, but no, it was the wolf. The wolf had tears in its eyes, as if on a mission of revenge.  The wolf had two colors: gray and yellow-brown, and stars upon its head. It was a desert wolf, but it crossed mountains and seas covered in snow and arrived in the land of the bison and the bald eagle. (power) I saw one huge bison with two heads: the head of an eagle and the head of a bison. The wolf captured the two-headed bison by the neck, and the bison surrendered without a battle. The wolf drank its blood. The wolf acted like a vampire, carrying a virus, and now the blood of the bison was mixed with the wolf's.  Then the wolf delivered 24 babies; half bison, half wolf. She did not die but was wounded in the neck, while her teeth remained fastened in the throat of the bison. Whenever the wolf turned, the bison turned, for the wolf controlled it. The bison's freedom was taken away, and it was in great pain. It cried out for help, but none came to its rescue. I looked to the east, and when I turned, I saw moving fire like a whirlwind. The fire looked as if it were being carried on wheels of gold. A voice came out of the fire, saying: “The bison with two heads is the nation of the United States of America. The wolf is her enemy (This is Islam), the one she did not destroy when she had the strength.  Now she will cry, for she will be forced to bow and follow the rules and laws of the wolf.  The seed of the bison's freedom will be taken away.  The bison will suffer and long for her freedom, but her tears will become her meat and water, for her walls of protection will be broken. (The Democrats invaded this country for this purpose.) The bison is dancing with her enemy. The bison lies in bed with the ravenous wolf. Unless the bison uproots now the seed and agenda of the wolf, there will be no time. Unless the bison builds her defense now, there will be no time. Unless the bison tears down and destroys the works of the wolf now in her land, she will suffer adversaries and judgment. For the pain of the wolf will be greater than that of the scorpion. Repent and turn, bison. Daniel, go stand on the tower and declare this vision.” As I was coming out of the vision, I heard a loud voice saying:  “We want Sharia Law!”    Sharia Law in America Mena Lee Jones, 11/21/2013 Last week I had a dream. In this dream, I walked into a convenience store with my mother. The store was small, as any convenience store would be. I walked up and down each aisle, browsing the items on the shelves. I noticed that at the end of one aisle, there was a stand with homemade honey. They were in small jars and had handwritten labels on them. I walked over to the stand and saw that at the top, it had a sign made out of cardboard. On this sign, it said, “Support Islam.” At this point, a Middle Eastern man with his wife and two sons walked into the store. I could tell they were Muslim by the clothes the wife was wearing. The peculiar thing was that the two boys (who looked to be around the ages of four and eight), had on kippahs (or yarmulke. For those who do not know, these are the little caps that the Jewish men wear). The father spoke and said to his sons, “Allah requires us to be pure and live holy. We must make sure we are following his rules and living holy.” But all the while he was saying this, the man kept looking over at my breast. I was paying attention to this, and when I would look over at him to make eye contact, he would quickly turn his face to the side as if he was avoiding something despicable. Next, I looked over towards the cashier who was running the store. He looked to be Middle Eastern as well. On the front of the cash register, there was another cardboard sign; it said “Sharia Law.” At this point, I was on the opposite side of the aisle as the man with his family. I blurted out, “Allah is Satan! Mohammed is in hell! Jesus Christ is the only answer!” Everyone was quiet. Finally, the man at the cash register broke the silence. “No one disrespects the holy prophet!” he exclaimed. But I repeated what I said the first time. I looked around the small store and noticed that my mother had left. When I looked towards the door, I saw a mob of men bust through the door. They all had leather whips in their hands. They were coming for me!  The funny thing was, I quickly walked down the aisle and went straight for the door. I walked right through the crowd without them laying a single finger on me. It was as though I was invisible. I thought about the times when Jesus would slip through the angry crowds after he spoke. I found myself outside on the street. I looked ahead and saw my mother walking. I paced myself to catch up with her, but I only got close enough to speak. “Mom, why did you leave?” I asked. “They were going to beat you,” she responded. “But you are safe now.” The strange thing was that she never turned around to look at me; she just kept walking. I noticed the white, almost iridescent dress she was wearing. It glowed softly, like a guide for me. I started looking around the area where I was. That's when I noticed these dog-like creatures roaming the streets. They were black with cat eyes, and seemed to be disappearing and then reappearing in different places. They were evil spirits! I looked up at a billboard. I saw the face of the president on it. Next to his face was a caption that said, “Support Sharia Law.” I stopped. I looked up to the sky and said, “Lord, what are you showing me? Where am I?” At that moment, I saw the top of a familiar building. It was the Empire State Building! I then knew I was in New York. My dream ended.  Saints, roughly two years ago, I had a couple of similar dreams to this one. They involved me being in the midst of Muslims and calling out the name of Jesus as the One true God. In one dream, I even prayed for several Muslim women, and through their healing, they accepted Christ as their Savior. The Lord has let me know that Islam will increase in this nation at a rapid rate. This is in preparation for the beast to come forth. We know that “Chrislam” (the marriage of Christianity and Islam) is on the rise today. We have a pope who is admired by the Muslim people and is pushing the idea of “peace” between the two religions. We have a commander in chief (Barack Obama in 2013) that is a Muslim at heart. (By his own confession to Islamic leaders.) This deceptive spirit is being lorded over our nation. And between that and the continuous increase of immorality and wickedness in this nation, we will see the persecution of Christians just before the Rapture. I want you all to be prepared and stand strong. We must know that as it began, it will end.  We are reverting back to the times of the first-century church. It was a time when the true believers were meeting in homes and secret places, a time when being a Christian was hostile. But remember that our brothers, the Apostles, continued to spread the gospel, no matter what the cost. So we, too, must be bold and confident in Christ. Know your authority (The Word), put on your armor, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood. Let us be encouraged, and therefore encourage one another. The finish line is in sight. Our Bridegroom is coming!   The Assassination of President Trump, Muslim Jihad  Jenni Haan, 8/26/2017 (David's notes in red)  I just woke up from a very disturbing dream. In my dream, my family and I were camping in northern Wisconsin. My husband had taken the kids into town to go to church. I stayed behind at the campground to get everything packed up because it was Sunday, and it was time to go home. I was in my tent packing up suitcases and sleeping bags, and I was just about finished when all of a sudden, I heard the announcer on the radio interrupt the song to come on air and say that the President had been shot by a Muslim radical while he was attending a church service. His voice sounded so sobering, as if he couldn't believe what he was announcing himself. He went on to say that they were able to get close to the President because the Muslims were pretending to be Christians in order to get into churches. The President thought they were people of peace. (Maybe back in 2017 but he knows better now.) Then the announcer's voice went from distressed to hopeless. He was getting more reports of Muslims opening fire, saying that their holy war had started, and it was every man for himself. The triggering event was the assassination of President Trump. Once that happened, every radical Muslim around the world opened fire wherever they were. (The DS, communists, democrats, Islamists, all want to kill Trump and they are not shy about working together to do this. Could this be why there are different assassination dreams about who done it? Also, some of these scenarios may have been prayed down and another not so.) I was scrambling in my tent looking for my 9 mil, and I realized I had just thrown it in my car. All of a sudden, through the door in my tent, I could see that there was a family of Muslims that was starting to open fire with assault rifles, shooting towards my direction. I knew I needed to get to my car, and that is when I woke myself up because my heart was pounding so fast. When I woke up, my adrenaline was pumping because it seemed so real. Northern Wisconsin gets pretty cold quickly, but we were still camping in the fall. The leaves had not quite started changing colors, but the air was very crisp that Sunday morning.   War Brings Death, Destruction, Ruins McKana - 03/07/26 (David's notes in red) Psalm 103:19 (KJV) The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. Psalm 145:13 (KJV) Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.  We know the Kingdom of Heaven governs heaven and earth and everything in it forever. God is the ultimate authority. There is nothing impossible for God. Nothing happens without the Lord allowing it, and everything He allows has a purpose. Judgment has started to fall to test the faith of all and bring redemption. The Kingdom of Heaven is coming, but first the earth must be cleansed of evil and corruption. All global governments pursue power, money, and territory. Which government in the world serves the Lord? The word of the Lord is trustworthy. The Lord speaks and it is done.  In a previous message, the Lord said, “This Iran deal will lead to world war.” (Spoken in 3-7-26)  And in reality, the war we have long warned about has begun with its consequences. On the morning of March 3 at 6:00 AM, the Lord said, “Iran war will ruin America.”  The Lord has order and sequence in what He does. He has been teaching and preparing His children for what is coming. Everything happening now was foretold centuries ago and revealed again in our time.  Before the start of the war in Iran, I asked the Lord a question about the sequence of events. I asked whether the great shaking would happen before or after Elam. Soon after, the Lord answered: “After.”  The great shaking will happen after the war in Elam. Elam is modern-day Iran.  The war in Iran will soon be followed by a global earthquake, and after the great quake, events will rapidly move toward world war. What This War Will Bring: Mass death and destruction Economic calamities affecting oil prices, trade, groceries, and commodities Depletion of military resources and strain on everyday life Global powers stretched thin and weakened Internal political conflicts and division A divided nation — “A house divided cannot stand.” Internal and external conflicts leading toward collapse Breakdown of diplomacy and mass evacuations Encouragement for other global powers to advance their ambitions  Global Tensions  China over Taiwan China over Japan China over the South China Sea China over Australia China over the West North Korea against South Korea Russia against Ukraine, Europe, and Eurasia Russia against the West Global terrorism Religious friction between Christianity and Islam Step by step, this war will lead to the collapse of governmental systems, anarchy, and world war.  Yes, the bear, the dragon, the serpent, and the scorpion — even fallen angels, called “aliens” — are moving as the end approaches.  Final Warning  Make your last preparations and wait for the Lord. Endure to the end. Repent, Repent, Repent! The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.  Jeremiah 49:34-38 (KJV) 34 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam…    George Washington Saw America Invaded (David's notes in red) I felt the Lord impressed me that George Washington's vision of an invasion from the East was happening with Islamists coming into the US both with permission and illegally. The full vision Washington saw two future wars fought on US soil that were fulfilled: the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. This, of course, gives credibility to the rest of the vision. In the last part of the vision, concerning these end times below, the third invasion appears to have come, and its resulting war comes soon after. Here is George Washington's Vision of the Third and Most Fearful Peril: “Again, I heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn'. At this, the dark, shadowy angel placed a trumpet to his mouth and blew three distinct blasts; and taking water from the ocean, he sprinkled it upon Europe, Asia, and Africa”. (God is bringing a Jihadist Invasion from these continents to make war, especially against the Christians and Jews.) “Then my eyes beheld a fearful scene. From each of these continents arose thick black clouds that were soon joined into one, and throughout this mass there gleamed a dark red light by which I saw hordes of armed men. These men, moving with the cloud, marched by land and sailed by sea to America, which country was enveloped in the volume of cloud, and I dimly saw these vast armies devastate the whole country and burn the villages, towns and cities which I had seen springing up”. (A prophet friend in Florida shared a vision he had with me many years ago. He said, 'The Lord took me to the streets of America, and I saw the cities on fire. We have eight million Muslims in America, and when the war breaks out in the Holy Land, and when America gets involved, they will burn America to the ground. I saw Muslim women coming into America and in their inner body parts, vials of anthrax and bio chemicals. I saw 180 million Americans die in a 72-hour period. He also spoke of many people being butchered, as we also have seen in dreams.) I believe the third war Washington saw has started with the Islamic Jihadist invasion into the US from Europe, Asia, and Africa for the purpose of making war on the people and making this a Muslim nation. This video by Avi Lipkin from March 26, 2015, speaks of Muslim radio stations repeating the Saudi demand to make America a Muslim nation. The plan is to bring tens of millions of Muslims into the United States. In this video, it is also mentioned that the plot to destroy Israel and Iran involves using them against each other. The elite are cornered as investigations leak out their crimes, and the Lord has told us they are going to come out fighting with an attack on America soon. The globalist elite have tried to keep the border open to bring in their troops who are joining with the Islamics (and communists) here who are practicing for a jihad. ISIS has flooded into the country with Hamas. Antifa is getting weapons, too. A large rebellion is about to begin. They are also going to spray chemicals and biologicals from the sky, as they have to a lesser extent already been doing. They own the pharmaceutical companies, and they don't make money on healthy people. The chemtrail fleet was built by these monsters. They all claim the population is unsustainable and want to bring it down to a fraction of what it is. Unscreened Muslims are flooding into the US with government permission. Many do not understand the sovereignty of God, Who works ALL things after the counsel of His own will and works ALL things together for the good of those who love Him and even for the good of those who will love Him when they get the fear of the Lord. Many do not understand when I say God ordained chastening the rebellious Church to bring many to repentance through the fear of the Lord. Without this, many would not bear fruit and be saved. He will bring more to repentance than all the lukewarm preachers could ever do. ISIS is in the US by their own admission and planning attacks. ISIS, Al Qaeda, and other Islamic Jihadists are here to make war. Under Obama, a woman witnessed that large buses with whited-out windows were coming over the border with Homeland Security and its logo on the side of them. She decided to speak to one of the drivers at a stop, who told her he was transporting Muslims to cities in the US. ISIS claims it can smuggle nuclear weapons through Nigeria and Mexico into the United States. Nazi Germany's Night of the Long Knives took place in the timeframe of Jade Helm. The Night of the Long Knives (German: Nacht der langen Messer (help·info), sometimes called Operation Hummingbird or, in Germany, the Röhm Putsch, was a purge that took place in Nazi Germany from June 30 to July 2, 1934, when the Nazi regime carried out a series of political murders. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_of_the_Long_Knives_(1934) Consider my prophet friend's statement from years ago: “We have eight million Muslims in America and when the war breaks out in the Holy Land, and when America gets involved, eight million Muslims will burn America to the ground”. Not so shocking that Egypt has accused Turkey of providing Turkish Passports to members of ISIS, the Islamic State, to facilitate the travel of fighters across the region. Seems the Turkish leadership and the DS leadership may be in agreement to rid the world of Christians and Jews. You who are truly righteous, trust in our God. Remember the three Hebrews. Is this the coming World War 3 we have been expecting to bring in the New World Order tribulation? Back to Washington's vision: “As my ears listened to the thundering of the cannon, clashing of the swords, and the shouts and cries of millions in mortal combat, I again heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn.' Where the voice had ceased, the dark, shadowy angel placed his trumpet once more to his mouth and blew a long and fearful blast.” (It is apparent that at this time enough repentance is given to America that God says, “Enough”.) Heaven Intervenes “Instantly, a light as of a thousand suns shone down from above me and pierced and broke into fragments the dark cloud which enveloped America. At the same moment, the angel upon whose head was still showing the word 'Union' and who bore our national flag in one hand and a sword in the other, descended from the heavens attended by legions of white spirits. These immediately joined the inhabitants of America who I perceived were well-nigh overcome but who, immediately taking courage again, closed up their broken ranks and renewed the battle”. (We were told here that 'the inhabitants of America' were warring with the invaders. I prayed about this and felt the Lord tell me, ‘When the Christians fear God and start being a witness of true Christianity, the inhabitants of America will begin to listen and be given victory by the Lord.' I remember when I was a young Christian, and the non-Christians would ask forgiveness when they said bad words or did bad things around you. There was a respect for the Christians and their God. But now that Christianity has sunk so low, this respect is not there. Is it any wonder that God would send chastening before it's too late? These 'inhabitants of America', even though they war with flesh and blood, can have that conscience again through a good witness from us.) “Again, amid the fearful noise of the conflict, I heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn.' As the voice ceased, the shadowy angel, for the last time, dipped water from the ocean and sprinkled it upon America. Instantly, the dark cloud rolled back, together with the armies it had brought, leaving the inhabitants of the land victorious”. (Notice the armies, plural, were fighting with the Americans.) “Then once more I beheld the villages, towns, and cities springing up where I had seen them before, while the bright angel, planting the azure standard he had brought in the midst of them, cried with a loud voice, 'While the stars remain and the heaven send down dew upon the earth, so long shall the UNION last.' And taking from his brow the crown on which blazoned the word 'Union', he placed it upon the standard while the people, kneeling down, said, 'Amen.'“ Interpretation “The scene instantly began to fade and dissolve, and I at last saw nothing but the rising, curling vapor I at first beheld. This also disappeared, and I found myself once more gazing upon the mysterious visitor who, in the same voice I had heard before, said, 'Son of the Republic, what you have seen is thus interpreted: Three great perils will come upon the republic. The most fearful for her is the third, but the whole world united shall not prevail against her. (Notice the world Beast, will wage war against her and after chastening her lose.) Let every child of the republic learn to live for his God, his land, and UNION'. Rom.12:18 If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men. With these words, the vision vanished, and I started from my seat and felt that I had seen a vision wherein had been shown me the birth, the progress, and destiny of the United States. “Such, my friends”, the venerable narrator concluded, “were the words I heard from Washington's own lips, and America will do well to profit by them.” (American Christians repent and turn to the Word that doesn't change quickly to receive mercy and grace from God.)

What would you do if a single letter revealed that everything you thought you knew about your family was only half the story? Scott Pratt walked into a historic Brooklyn church as part of Ancestry's powerful documentary Railroad Ties expecting to find some connection to his Scottish colonial roots. Instead he discovered that he's a descendant of enslaved people who escaped to freedom on the Underground Railroad. In this deeply moving conversation, Scott and I trace the extraordinary arc of his family tree: from Sophia, the light-skinned Black woman who fled slavery through Brooklyn, to her grandson Frank, a silent film star who kept a journal about passing for white that now sits in the Harvard Library. Scott's story is about so much more than genealogical discovery. It's about the grief of lost stories, the complexity of inherited identity, and the fierce resilience that echoes across generations when we finally let ourselves claim the whole truth of who we are.〰️

This month on Conversations from the Pointed Firs: Carol Gardner, author of "The Divided North, Black and White Families in the Age of Slavery" (2025) written as part of a series, "Black New England." Divided North is a beautifully researched history of two families from Portland, Maine, one black, one white, who represented two multi-generational paths through the history of slavery in Maine, one as a founder of the abolitionist movement and underground railroad, and the other as captains and traders of slaves between Africa, Cuba, and the United States. These parallel histories are astonishingly evocative of the history of race in Maine, the north, and the larger USA from the mid-19th century to present day. 

The Underground Railroad Education Center is suing the National Endowment for the Humanities and several federal officials, after the museum had a $250,000 grant canceled as part of President Donald Trump's crusade against diversity, equity and inclusion programs and initiatives.

We carry on our Women's History Month films with Kasi Lemmons' remarkable Harriet Tubman biopic Harriet, starring Cynthia Erivo. While the film received mixed reviews on release, it is more than worth seeing it for yourself, as it explores the life and history of one of the most famous conductors on the Underground Railroad and the psychological and generational trauma of slavery. TW for discussions of violence. Next up: Belle (2013), directed by Amma Asante and starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw.

One of the most celebrated stories from the Underground Railroad is that of Henry Box Brown, the man who mailed himself to freedom. In 1849 Henry Brown successfully had himself shipped out of slavery in a packing crate from Richmond, Virginia, to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Brown's ingenious and audacious escape from slavery immediately caught the attention of abolitionists all over the country. The story of his escape was not only exciting, it was deeply symbolic, and proved a powerful tool that could draw people into the anti-slavery movement. Box Brown soon became one the most sought after speakers on the abolitionist lecture circuit. However, Henry Brown was not content to remain a typical anti-slavery lecturer. He was soon creating elaborate multimedia shows that incorporated music, moving panoramas, and stage magic. His on-stage swagger and flashy style eventually put him at odds with much of the mainstream abolitionist community. Was Henry Box Brown too "glam" for solemn and sober activists who had once been his allies? Tune-in and find out how wombs, tombs, Tricky Sam, and the King of All Mesmerizers all play a role in the story.Check out the merch at out T-Public store HERE!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Israel case before the International Court of Justice in December 2023. The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant in November 2024 for Netanyahu for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity as part of the ICC investigation in Palestine. Netanyahu was born in 1949 in Tel Aviv. His mother, Tzila Segal, was born in Petah Tikva in the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem—her family had migrated from Minneapolis in 1911, having relocated there from Lithuania in the 1870s—and studied law at Gray’s Inn, London. His father, Warsaw-born Benzion Netanyahu (né Mileikowsky), was a historian specializing in the Jewish Golden Age of Spain. His paternal grandfather, Nathan Mileikowsky, was a rabbi and Zionist writer. When Netanyahu’s father immigrated to Mandatory Palestine, he adopted a Hebrew surname of “Netanyahu”, meaning “God has given.” While his family is predominantly Ashkenazi, he has said that a DNA test revealed some Sephardic ancestry. He claims descent from the Vilna Gaon. At MIT, Netanyahu studied a double-load while taking courses at Harvard University, completing his bachelor’s degree in architecture in two and a half years, despite taking a break to fight in the Yom Kippur War. Professor Leon B. Groisser at MIT recalled: “He did superbly. He was very bright. Organized. Strong. Powerful. He knew what he wanted to do and how to get it done.” At that time he changed his name to Benjamin “Ben” Nitai (Nitai, a reference to both Mount Nitai and to the eponymous Jewish sage Nittai of Arbela, was a pen name often used by his father for articles). Years later, in an interview with the media, Netanyahu clarified that he decided to do so to make it easier for Americans to pronounce his name. This fact has been used by his political rivals to accuse him indirectly of a lack of Israeli national identity and loyalty. Netanyahu worked as an economic consultant for the Boston Consulting Group… Revisionist Zionism – Wikipedia Lebensraum – Wikipedia Greater Israel – Wikipedia Pastor Adam Fannin, Law of Liberty Baptist Church: Who is the Synagogue of Satan? – YouTube Mentioned Genesis 9 (KJV) – God shall enlarge Japheth, and Genesis 10 (KJV) – And the sons of Gomer; Japheth – Wikipedia Linked END TIMES Prophecy – YouTube Romans 11 Israel was Cast Away, Not God’s People – YouTube Who is the Israel of God? – Pastor Tim DeVries – YouTube American civil religion – Wikipedia Ceremonial deism – Wikipedia The Apotheosis of Washington – Wikipedia Biblical Religion and Civil Religion in America by Robert N.

This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.

In this unexpectedly heavy episode of Canada Is Boring, Rhys and Jesse dig into a part of Canadian history most people never hear about: Canada's 200‑year relationship with slavery.While many Canadians grow up hearing about the Underground Railroad and Canada as a safe haven, Rhys reveals a much darker past—from New France-era slavery to British rule, and the brutal legal framework that allowed slavery to exist in Canada.Rhys and Jesse take a hard left turn from jokes into one of the darkest and least‑discussed parts of Canadian history: slavery in Canada. From New France's Code Noir to household slaves as status symbols, from Marie‑Joseph Angélique and Chloe Cooley to the slow legal death of slavery by the 1820s, this episode challenges the myth of Canada as the purely “good guy” of North American history.In the STD Zone, Jesse debriefs his recent trip to Cuba—tourism, cash chaos, and the everyday realities behind the resorts.

 I can say, without exaggeration, this is one of the most extraordinary stories that I’ve ever heard. and maybe one of the most important, so my guest today is Max Smith. He’s a historian, a storyteller, and a lifelong steward of the history of Peterborough New York. So this is a tiny village in Madison County that most people have never heard of, but that quietly shaped the course of American history. So what you’re about to hear. Is the story of how the abolitionist movement functioned in many ways, like an early startup, so a small group of people that had an idea that was considered radical, dangerous, and disruptive, and the epicenters of that abolitionist movement. it wasn’t Boston or Washington. it was right here in upstate New York. The story starts with the drunken mob shutting down an abolitionist meeting in Utica and how that meeting was reborn the next day in Peterborough. And hundreds of people walked miles overnight to continue that work, and those choices sent ripples across the country that still shape our politics today. Now Max walks us through the life of Gerrit Smith, whom I’m sure you’ve probably never heard of. I’ve never heard of him, but he was one of the wealthiest men in America in the 18 hundreds. And after this event, he started giving away his fortune to fund abolition, women’s suffrage and civil rights. He was hosting Frederick Douglas, Harriet Tubman, John Brown, and formerly enslaved people at his own dinner table, and his mansion in Peterborough became one of the stops on the Underground Railroad. This is also a deeply personal story for Max. It’s one that connects his own family lineage directly to the Underground Railroad, the Civil War, and the long arc of freedom in this country. So if you care about how change actually happens and how movements are built, how courage, community, and conviction scale over time. This is a conversation you are not going to forget. It’s not a startup story in the way we usually tell them, but it might be one of the most powerful ones we’ve ever shared.

Doug Stuart interviews Caleb Franz, author of The Conductor: The Story of Reverend John Rankin, Abolitionism's Essential Founding Father. Franz shares the fascinating story of how he discovered and researched this largely forgotten figure from his hometown of Ironton, Ohio. The conversation explores Rankin's pivotal role in the abolition movement, particularly in the Ohio River Valley—a region often overlooked in abolitionist history that typically centers on New England.Franz discusses Rankin's theological arguments against slavery, his work on the Underground Railroad helping thousands of enslaved people escape to freedom, and his profound influence on key historical figures including Harriet Beecher Stowe (whose "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was inspired by Rankin's letters) and Ulysses S. Grant (who studied under Rankin before attending West Point). The episode delves into the research process behind writing historical biography, the intersection of faith and liberty in the abolition movement, and how Rankin's Christian convictions drove his radical opposition to slavery from the 1820s through the Civil War era.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs  ★ Support this podcast ★

A statement from Gaslit Nation listener Annie in Minneapolis, Minnesota:  Real Resistance I live in Minneapolis, 6 minutes from where Renee Good was shot and killed today by an ICE agent. I am 39, a white woman, with a 6 year old like Renee. I am on my neighborhood rapid response thread and on another morning it could easily have been me who was shot and killed. I feel grief, I feel rage, but I am also hopeful that her death will crack open something that needs to see the light of day. On Tuesday, dozens of people were brutally kidnapped and taken from their families, but there were no press conferences and no headlines. Today, all eyes are on ICE. Schools are canceled for the rest of the week. My manager wrote to say she understands if we need to take time off. It finally feels like the whole city is grieving in the way I have been for the past five weeks since ICE first began occupying Minneapolis, and the past five months since ICE first descended on Chicago. It feels like I can finally grieve openly. Politicians are taking the occupation more seriously. Governor Walz is talking about the national guard, Mayor Frey is talking about Minneapolis police officers protecting first amendment rights. There is so much the state and the city could be doing to assist and protect people at risk right now, but their opposition has been limited to press conferences, social media posts, and an ordinance that limits the use of city property by ICE. This is really different than playing an active role in protecting and supporting people. Actual resistance could look like tracking ICE apprehensions and accounting for all victims, running a support hotline for impacted families, providing legal aid to immigrants, tracking ICE locations and sharing this information with immigrants at risk, maintaining a list of ICE license plates, serving as constitutional observers during ICE stops, or even just lifting up the work of rapid response networks and encouraging residents to participate. None of this has been happening, and that probably won't change, but I now have a tiny bit of hope that it might. There's a recent video put out by Tad Stoermer, a historian of resistance movements, about the "loyal opposition" that puts words to how I have been feeling. He says, "When the opposition party treats an authoritarian regime as a normal political opponent, […] it doesn't just fail to resist, it just becomes a loyal opposition, [loyal to the system it is operating in.] […] It actively teaches people the wrong lessons about what resistance looks like. It […] tells everyone watching 'this is the only appropriate response. This is how serious people handle this situation.' And when 'this' is press releases, and podium speeches, and fundraising emails, and strongly worded social media posts endlessly about, I don't know, cost of living issues, while the regime is invading sovereign nations, announcing it will run them, threatening NATO and world stability in addition to our domestic stability, what people learn is that the situation might not in fact be that serious." He goes on to contrast this with real resistance, which includes developing organizing infrastructure, building parallel institutions, and building resistance networks. He uses the Underground Railroad as an example of real resistance, and talks about how the "loyal opposition" absorbs energy that could otherwise be used for building the resistance infrastructure that we need. Today, Jacob Frey told ICE to "get the f*ck out of Minneapolis," but he didn't say what he will do if they don't. We need to be thinking about resistance dynamics. When ICE does not get out of Minneapolis, what action will the City take? What actions are we taking to back up our demands? The phrase that keeps repeating in my head today is "Make repression backfire." Collectively, let's channel our grief and rage into making state repression backfire and building a real resistance movement that will allow us to protect people, take back power, and build the world we need.
