State of the Octopus
03/09/24 • 66 min
A NEW DOCUSERIES on Netflix had us thinking that somebody had been listening to 15-year-old episodes of P.I.D. Radio.
That’s not the case, of course. The Octopus Murders, a four-part series, is well researched and connected some dots that we hadn’t put together back in 2009. However, it was a bit surreal seeing people whose names we’d become very familiar with, like Danny Casolaro, Michael Riconosciuto, John Philip Nichols, Robert Booth Nichols, Cheri Seymour, and others, on screen.
If you’re not familiar with “the Octopus,” we refer you to our episode from October 4, 2009, where we summarized the investigation and highly suspicious death of investigative journalist Danny Casolaro in 1991. Casolaro was found dead in a hotel room in Martinsburg, West Virginia with his wrists deeply slashed 10 to 12 times. It was ruled a suicide, despite the impossibility of slashing the second wrist when the tendons of the opposite hand have been severed.
We also discuss this week’s State of the Union address, undoubtedly the angriest SOTU message we’ve ever seen. For a president who claims to be optimistic, Joe Biden sure seems ticked.
Also: If Israel isn’t the “real Israel,” why is the god of Islam and his followers obsessed with destroying it?

Supernatural Gaslighting
THE CORPORATE MEDIA and its deep state masters want you to believe that reality is what they tell you, not what you see with your lying eyes.
President Biden’s cognitive decline is apparent, but only a few in the media have dared break the wall of silence around that topic. This isn’t the first time the media has concealed a president’s physical limitations, but it was easier to convince the public that, say, Woodrow Wilson was still performing his duties after his debilitating stroke in an age without the Internet and social media.
We’re also supposed to believe that children are competent to demand and receive chemical sterilization and surgical mutilation, and in some states, such as Illinois, it may soon be considered child abuse for a parent to refuse to consent to such procedures for minor children.
Overseas, we continue to hear that Ukraine is on the verge of defeating Russia if we just send another aid package worth tens of billions of dollars—while at the same time we’re supposed to fear that the Russian military, which we’re assured is on the verge of losing a war to its much smaller neighbor, will roll over all of Eastern Europe if we don’t stop it now in Ukraine.
At the end of the day, this is all about stoking fear and division. If we give in, we help fulfill the prophecy that nation will rise against nation—bearing in mind that the word translated “nation” is ethnos, from which we get “ethnic.” The world is being divided back into tribes in a supernatural plot to divide and conquer.
Just remember Psalm 2: “He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision.”

Terror in Russia
A TERROR ATTACK at a rock concert in Moscow has left more than 140 people dead as of this recording. A branch of the Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the deaths. The question is what happens next?
It’s been reported that the terrorists were arrested as they tried to escape into Ukraine. The government in Kyiv has denied any connection to the attack, but will Putin use this to justify escalating the conflict?
What is ISIS-K, the Islamic State-Khorasan, and why did it attack Russia? The group, named after an old term for the region that included parts of Iran, Turkmenistan and Afghanistan, emerged in eastern Afghanistan in late 2014 with a reputation for extreme violence. It has been at war with the Taliban in Afghanistan, but has reportedly developed the ability to conduct operations in Europe and Asia.
ISIS generally hates everyone who is not on board with its agenda of remaking the world according to its interpretation of the Quran, which is more or less the way it was practiced in the 7th century under Muhammad and his immediate successors. As Raymond Ibrahim reported earlier this month, ISIS issued a statement in January calling for beheading and burning every Western civilian, including Muslims who reject the Islamic State’s violent jihad.
ISIS even declared that Muslims must not support Hamas or the Palestinian Authority because their struggle is not for Shar’iah, but “for national legitimacy, and the kufr covenants of the United Nations.”
We also speculate on territorial spirits who may be involved in this event. We know from the Book of Daniel that there is a prince of Greece—we think it’s Zeus/Satan—and a prince of Persia. Is there a prince of Russia, and if so, who is it, and how does that help us understand yesterday’s terror attack in Moscow?
And we answer one of your questions submitted through our app: Who is Lilith?
