  I feel like I'm a burning man, except we're all wearing clothes.
• 0:03
  Mad Max meets Vegas meets us in Wonderland.
• 0:06
  Google used Burning Man to find a CEO.
• 0:08
  Come out in a jet and like land at the airport.
• 0:11
  What it is, it's a laboratory.
• 0:13
  It is a laboratory.
• 0:14
  It's a container where social change is lived out in real time.
• 0:17
  It's the future being experimented with in the present.
• 0:20
  They think they're creating a new culture that they hope is going to eventually supplant what's left of our Christian heritage.
• 0:27
  We forget that God is within us and we are God.
• 0:30
  It is a pagan festival.
• 0:31
  We burn a man.
• 0:32
  The only belief they don't tolerate is Christianity.
• 0:35
  They said, you have three hours to get out of here.
• 0:43
  Welcome to Worldview Matters.
• 0:45
  Discussing controversial issues.
• 0:48
  Discerning current events.
• 0:50
  Defending biblical Christianity.
• 0:53
  No topic.
• 0:54
  Off limits.
• 0:56
  And now, here's your host, David Fiorazzo.
• 1:00
  Friends, family in Christ, thank you so much for tuning in to another episode of Worldview Matters.
• 1:04
  The only belief that they do not tolerate is Christianity.
• 1:10
  Very interesting, common, but we're going to talk about Burning Man today.
• 1:15
  And the title, Burning Man, Bible Prophecy, the Beast System.
• 1:19
  We've got Alex Newman in studio today, baby.
• 1:23
  So, brother, welcome.
• 1:24
  Thank you so much for coming in.
• 1:26
  It's a blessing to be here.
• 1:27
  Thank you, brother.
• 1:27
  Yep, he's speaking tonight, and then he's got a big event tomorrow in Milwaukee, which when this podcast airs, he would have already been done with it.
• 1:35
  But we're going to talk about Burning Man.
• 1:37
  That's the main focus today because we haven't discussed that on this podcast much, and a lot of people forget that that's real.
• 1:44
  A lot of people don't understand the agenda behind it, and we're going to discuss much more of that and who attends, what drives it, and Alex first, I want to mention your book.
• 1:57
  The most recent book Alex got out, Make Sure, Indoctrinating Our Children to Death.
• 2:02
  We'll talk about some of that maybe another time, because we've talked a lot about education on this podcast with Alex.
• 2:08
  But I saw this article.
• 2:10
  We're all set to talk about Burning Man, Bible Prophecy, the Beast System.
• 2:13
  And I see this article come on your sub stack, and I have to ask you about this first teacher-free book.
• 2:21
  AI school that opened in Chicago.
• 2:23
  And this is a UN backed agenda.
• 2:27
  When I first heard about this, Alex, I thought teacher for great teachers are the problem.
• 2:32
  Curriculum is the problem.
• 2:33
  So good AI school, but there's more to it.
• 2:36
  Explain this for us.
• 2:37
  Well, thanks again, Dave.
• 2:38
  And there's a lot more to it.
• 2:39
  So there's this organization now called Alpha Schools, and they're pioneering this idea that we don't really need teachers to teach academics, the AI, the algorithms, the devices can do that.
• 2:51
  And then we'll have basically glorified babysitters sitting at the front of the classroom, making sure that the kids don't spit spitballs at each other.
• 2:57
  And so that's the thinking, at least.
• 2:59
  And, you know, it's true.
• 3:01
  A lot of the folks that have gone into the teaching profession are very left wing.
• 3:07
  But even they have a limit to what they'll do.
• 3:09
  You know, a lot of them were like, OK, I guess if you tell me to teach the kitties that they were born in the wrong body and that castration would be the solution, I guess I'll do it.
• 3:16
  I'm not really comfortable with it.
• 3:17
  But there comes a point where they'll say, no, no more.
• 3:20
  We're not doing it.
• 3:21
  And of course, they can't collect the data like the AI systems can.
• 3:24
  They can't figure out using the data that they're collecting what needs to happen next in this child's so-called education to indoctrinate them properly.
• 3:33
  So there is a global agenda here.
• 3:34
  Back in 2019,
• 3:36
  The United Nations met in Beijing.
• 3:38
  They convened a big conference.
• 3:40
  The Chinese dictator Xi Jinping was very pleased with this, and they came out with the Beijing Consensus on Artificial Intelligence in Education.
• 3:47
  And if you read it, it says we need AI in all education, and we need to use it to pursue the goals outlined, particularly in goal number four of the UN's 2030 agenda, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
• 3:59
  Goal number four says all the kids need to be
• 4:01
  essentially so brainwashed they will not just submit to the UN's agenda, sustainable development, gender equality, global citizenship.
• 4:09
  They will promote it.
• 4:11
  And so that's what's happening here.
• 4:13
  Bill Gates is pouring hundreds of millions of dollars, really billions of dollars into this for that reason, not because they want children to be well-educated, because they hope it will be a more effective tool for indoctrinating and manipulating these children than ever before.
• 4:26
  There's so many follow-up questions.
• 4:27
  I know we want to get to Burning Man, but this is so interesting because just a short time ago, we thought 2030 was a long ways off.
• 4:35
  You know, now it's like three years and change away.
• 4:38
  And so explain to us, Alex, this sounds like a kind of like a test run in Chicago.
• 4:45
  Are they actually doing this in a school or where is this taking place where there's no teachers and it's just AI for, what is it, two hours?
• 4:52
  And why two hours?
• 4:54
  Two hours every day is what the founders and leaders of this school say is necessary for the children to master the academic component.
• 5:00
  And then for the rest of the day, they do have what they call human guides who will help them do fun activities and, you know, think about life and, you know, extracurricular activities.
• 5:10
  And the school claims, you know, we don't have independent verification, but they claim that the children who've gone through these programs do much better than your average child.
• 5:17
  Whether that's true or not, again, we don't know.
• 5:19
  But they hope to eventually have a really big network of these.
• 5:22
  They've got one down in Texas.
• 5:23
  They've got several.
• 5:24
  And there's a wealthy software billionaire who's bankrolling this.
• 5:28
  But if you look, the convergence of AI in education has been happening for years.
• 5:33
  And I think this is just a sneak preview of the future.
• 5:35
  Now, to be clear, this is a private school.
• 5:37
  But in Illinois, there are some laws restricting the introduction of AI teachers in public schools.
• 5:45
  But this is the direction the whole world's moving in.
• 5:47
  Wow.
• 5:48
  So I'm not surprised.
• 5:49
  We just want to keep up with as much as we can without being overwhelmed by it.
• 5:52
  But just to know that this is happening and there is an agenda behind it.
• 5:57
  That's what we want to really emphasize.
• 5:59
  And the UN.
• 6:00
  So transition now to your recent trip.
• 6:04
  You were at Burning Man.
• 6:06
  See, Alex does this research and goes to these places so you don't have to.
• 6:09
  Right.
• 6:10
  But no, I was before we got on the podcast, I was mentioning probably the majority of our viewers and listeners.
• 6:16
  are probably not familiar with Burning Man.
• 6:19
  If they heard of it, they don't know exactly what drives it, what's behind it.
• 6:23
  They just think it's goofy, but it's more demonic than goofy.
• 6:28
  It's not comical.
• 6:29
  There are people who really beat the drums and believe this stuff.
• 6:34
  So how did you end up going this time?
• 6:37
  And was this your first time there?
• 6:38
  Yes, and probably my last.
• 6:39
  Yeah, thank God.
• 6:40
  I was praying for your protection while you were there.
• 6:42
  Thank you, brother.
• 6:43
  So tell us about...
• 6:45
  How long has this been going on?
• 6:47
  This is like a city now and billions of dollars fund what's called Burning Man.
• 6:53
  So what is it?
• 6:54
  How did it start?
• 6:55
  And how did you end up going now?
• 6:58
  This is a huge story that I think people need to understand.
• 7:01
  So it started 40 years ago.
• 7:03
  Forty?
• 7:03
  Yeah.
• 7:04
  The guy who kicked this off, Larry Harvey, he had watched a movie about something called Wicker Man.
• 7:08
  So way back in the day, the pagan Gauls, the Celts in northwestern Europe, they would build a wicker man.
• 7:14
  They would stuff it full of people as an offering to the deities, and they would set it on fire.
• 7:19
  And so Larry Harvey, this guy from San Francisco, decided we ought to do that on the beach.
• 7:25
  So on the summer solstice, he and one of his buddies got together.
• 7:27
  They built themselves a little wicker man.
• 7:29
  They invited a few dozen people out, and they set it on fire.
• 7:32
  And that was the beginning of it.
• 7:33
  This was 40 years ago.
• 7:35
  Eventually, within a few years, they got kicked out of San Francisco because it was getting too wild and crazy.
• 7:39
  So they moved into the Black Rock Desert where they are.
• 7:41
  Wait, too wild and crazy for San Francisco?
• 7:43
  That should tell you something.
• 7:45
  It must have been out of control.
• 7:47
  And, you know.
• 7:48
  What's happening in the desert in Nevada, the Black Rock Desert, is just the tip of the iceberg.
• 7:54
  This is a global movement.
• 7:55
  They themselves identified as a global cultural movement.
• 7:58
  And Larry Harvey, the guy who founded it, really deep into the satanic and the demonic, we've got a video of him where he's sitting on what he calls the throne of Satan, and he invites people to come sit at his right hand, and they can have their souls physically sucked from their bodies.
• 8:11
  He he he, isn't that funny?
• 8:13
  That's, you know, they think this is some kind of big joke.
• 8:15
  So he argued, and we've got him on camera repeatedly arguing—he passed away a few years ago—that what they were doing was they're building a new culture, they're building a new world, they're birthing a new system.
• 8:25
  And we've got him on camera saying, you know, right now it seems impossible that this would supplant the old culture, what's left of our Christian civilization.
• 8:33
  But he said, when the crisis is bad enough, when people feel enough pain—
• 8:37
  that impossible is going to become inevitable.
• 8:40
  Wow.
• 8:41
  So that's what's going on.
• 8:42
  And it would be bad enough if this was just, you know, hippies and weirdos going out to the desert.
• 8:46
  What's really happening, Dave, is in recent decades, you've started attracting to this thing
• 8:52
  some of the wealthiest and most powerful people on planet Earth, and I mean that literally.
• 8:57
  Elon Musk, the world's only trillionaire, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, Mark Zuckerberg, the little fascist that runs Facebook, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the two co-founders of Google.
• 9:08
  They actually found Eric Schmidt
• 9:11
  the head of Google for a while, then the executive chairman of Alphabet, the parent of the company of Google and YouTube, they gave him the job because he was involved in Burning Man.
• 9:21
  The first ever Google doodle, 1998, you know, the little drawings they do.
• 9:24
  The first one they ever did was Burning Man in 1998.
• 9:26
  Oh my goodness.
• 9:27
  When all the senior leadership went out there.
• 9:29
  Wow.
• 9:30
  So Elon Musk said that Burning Man is Silicon Valley, and I think that's accurate to an extent, but it's not just Silicon Valley.
• 9:37
  It's not just all the leaders and senior officials at these companies that are basically designing the Panopticon we're all expected to live in.
• 9:44
  It's also a cross-section of the elite of society.
• 9:48
  So to go back to the demonic for a moment, one of the reasons why I knew I had to go, Nicole Shanahan, she was the vice presidential candidate with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. until he joined Team Trump, Silicon Valley billionaire attorney.
• 10:01
  And she was in the inner core of the Burning Man movement for about a decade.
• 10:04
  She was camping at the first camp where the founders, the CEO, the royalty, the diplomats, everybody congregates.
• 10:10
  And she said she had never in her—she became a Christian and defected and blew the whistle.
• 10:15
  She said never in her life had she seen the kind of concentration of political, spiritual, intellectual, and financial power that you see at Burning Man.
• 10:24
  She also said it was one of the most powerful tools that Satan was using to lead people away from God.
• 10:30
  I thought, this is serious.
• 10:31
  Yes.
• 10:32
  This is from an insider.
• 10:33
  I have to go see this.
• 10:35
  Now she's a believer.
• 10:35
  Thank God she got out.
• 10:37
  Praised.
• 10:37
  the lord but and she's blowing the whistle so to speak yeah so is that one of the reasons that you decided to go or did you find out about this from you know i've known about it for decades um i first heard about it from a party girl that i met while i was uh doing a contract in colorado and it wasn't really interesting and then i heard about it again from our mutual friend carl teicher who goes every year carl i can't believe he goes every year
• 11:00
  Yeah, he's been there seven years.
• 11:01
  It's absolutely crazy.
• 11:03
  I don't know how he does it, but he leads a little team in there.
• 11:05
  They call it the Camp of the Unknown God, and they're doing research, and they're trying to have conversations with people about Christ to the extent that that's even possible.
• 11:14
  One of the Christian camps there this year got kicked out, actually.
• 11:16
  True Christian?
• 11:17
  True Christian?
• 11:18
  Well, we were coming in as they were being kicked out, but they were proclaiming the name of Jesus, they were baptizing people, they were calling people to repentance.
• 11:27
  Wow.
• 11:27
  No wonder they got kicked out.
• 11:28
  Exactly, yeah.
• 11:29
  Repent!
• 11:31
  And they were having success.
• 11:31
  Apparently they baptized 14 people before they officially got kicked out.
• 11:36
  One of the complaints against them was that they had a baptismal pool in there, and that's against the rules.
• 11:40
  You can have orgies, you can take all the drugs you want, but don't you dare bring a baptismal pool in here.
• 11:45
  Yeah, you wouldn't want to hurt the desert floor where nothing grows.
• 11:49
  Right.
• 11:49
  By the way, friends, Alex is not exaggerating.
• 11:52
  Jeff, you have some pictures that are, you know, PG-13.
• 11:56
  You can show any of those while we're talking about this.
• 11:58
  Anything goes.
• 11:59
  I do want to mention, there we go, Orgy Dome.
• 12:02
  Yep, that's a real thing.
• 12:03
  Is there such a thing?
• 12:04
  There's an orgy dome, there's an orgy bus, and there's displays that we can't even talk about because they're so wild, wicked, perverted.
• 12:11
  Wow.
• 12:11
  So the New American magazine has an article come out that Alex wrote called Burning Man, Big Tech, Paganism, and Your Future.
• 12:20
  Yeah.
• 12:20
  That is days away from being in your mailbox if you subscribe to the new American dot com, the new American dot com.
• 12:27
  So Alex wrote that.
• 12:28
  And I just want to mention the bullet points and have you take us a little bit further into this.
• 12:33
  Alex, you say Burning Man is not just a music or arts festival in the desert, though it has those elements.
• 12:39
  It is also not a haunt for paganism and perversion, though it has that, too.
• 12:44
  It is.
• 12:45
  a model for the post-Christian New World Order, the elitists involved in it intend to create, and it must be taken seriously.
• 12:56
  That's what I really want to camp out on and emphasize today.
• 12:59
  This has to be taken seriously, because this has become a huge, massive... What did you say earlier?
• 13:04
  The spiritual, political, financial, and one more.
• 13:08
  They're all...
• 13:08
  Intellectual.
• 13:09
  And intellectual.
• 13:10
  These are all coming together, and this is in Black Rock City, where...
• 13:14
  So now walk us through.
• 13:16
  Tell us about your experience there.
• 13:17
  You got there.
• 13:19
  You knew all about this.
• 13:20
  You've read about it.
• 13:21
  You've probably written about it.
• 13:22
  You've interviewed people like Carl.
• 13:25
  But yet when you went there, I'm sure there's some things that still made you drop your jaw a little bit, or am I mistaken?
• 13:32
  Oh, you're more right than you know, Dave.
• 13:35
  Some of the things that we saw there were so monstrous that I don't even feel like we can talk about.
• 13:40
  Yeah, I mean, yeah, just horrible.
• 13:42
  And the worst thing was that there are children there.
• 13:44
  There are naked kids running around.
• 13:46
  There are children watching things that you could not describe on a porn show.
• 13:51
  They're so bad.
• 13:52
  I mean, pagan rituals out in the open, demonic channeling, occultism.
• 13:57
  All this is happening.
• 13:58
  And it's not even a secret anymore.
• 14:00
  Like, you know, Sam Altman, the guy who runs OpenAI, which produces ChatGPT, he's a regular longtime burner.
• 14:06
  And we have a podcast recording of him from 2024 where he talks about how he goes there regularly.
• 14:11
  He absolutely loves it.
• 14:13
  He takes psychedelic drugs, magic mushrooms while at these kinds of things.
• 14:17
  And he says that helps guide his work.
• 14:19
  And one of the things he said is...
• 14:22
  From seeing what's going on at Burning Man, you can get a sense of what the future, a post-AGI, post-artificial general intelligence future might look like.
• 14:30
  Because apparently AI is going to do everything for us, and so we can just all sit around and engage in weird sex and have pagan rituals and give each other gifts.
• 14:38
  And so he thinks that's a good idea, that we should move in that direction.
• 14:42
  But...
• 14:43
  I mean, there's so many different things that happen there.
• 14:45
  There's music, there's art.
• 14:47
  Some of the people who go there don't take drugs.
• 14:49
  They don't partake in some of the wicked stuff.
• 14:51
  We did a whole article in the special issue of the New American on the Christians of Burning Man.
• 14:55
  And there were at least five Christian camps there.
• 14:57
  I want to ask you about that, because you said there's some people that think they're Christians, but they're really not.
• 15:02
  Like the woman in the picture, there it is.
• 15:04
  It says, I love Jesus on her hat, but she was, I guess she was tripping.
• 15:08
  Tell us about these type of so-called Christians, which are really not.
• 15:11
  Go ahead.
• 15:12
  Right, God bless her.
• 15:13
  And we found a lot of people at this place who identify as Christian, but it's not my place to know their heart, but you talk to them, and it's very clear they don't have a relationship with the Lord.
• 15:22
  It's very clear they don't see the world through a biblical lens.
• 15:25
  Some of them are there to party.
• 15:27
  Some of them are there to partake in this stuff.
• 15:30
  One of the guys we interviewed, he leads a camp.
• 15:32
  I can't say the name because it's profane, but it's religious blank, blank.
• 15:37
  And yeah, so he's some sort of Anglican Episcopalian minister, whatever.
• 15:43
  They left the reservation a long time ago.
• 15:44
  Right.
• 15:45
  He goes by the Playa name, Reverend Rainbow, Captain Moo Moo.
• 15:49
  There you go.
• 15:50
  And so we did an interview with him, and he's talking about what a holy experience this is and what a sacred pilgrimage.
• 15:59
  It's frustrating.
• 16:01
  It's hard.
• 16:03
  Which is saying that if he's saying holy and sacred pilgrimage, that's really clearly who he's worshiping is not the God of the Bible, not Jesus.
• 16:11
  Yeah.
• 16:12
  And Jesus talks about, you know, there are people who are going to roll up at,
• 16:16
  judgment time and say, Lord, Lord, and he's going to say, get away from me, I never knew you.
• 16:20
  So we know that there are people who claim the name of Christ who don't truly know him, who Christ doesn't truly know.
• 16:28
  And, you know, I think there's a lot of that going on at Burning Man.
• 16:32
  You know, there's a lot of people who are lost.
• 16:34
  There's a lot of people who are very deliberately and consciously, I
• 16:38
  They're channeling spirits.
• 16:40
  And this is happening openly.
• 16:41
  There's people on stage channeling demons.
• 16:43
  There are people talking about how we all should be taking more magic mushrooms and communicating with the spiritual entities that are going to roll up.
• 16:50
  So this is really serious.
• 16:51
  And one reason why Christians have to pay attention to this— I've had a lot of people say, like, well, why do we need to know about this?
• 16:58
  The people who are building the world that we're all going into are the people behind Burning Man.
• 17:03
  The people who are writing the algorithms that govern your access to information, that govern the access to information for billions of people on this planet, are the people of Burning Man.
• 17:13
  It's a global movement.
• 17:14
  They have satellite burns in China, in South Africa, in Canada, in Florida.
• 17:20
  Satellite burns, what's that?
• 17:21
  So Kimball Musk, he's Elon Musk's brother.
• 17:25
  Elon bought him a seat on the board by giving a large amount of money.
• 17:28
  He had to resign last year because of his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
• 17:31
  But he described it this way.
• 17:33
  I thought it was a good way to describe it.
• 17:35
  He said, the one that happens in Nevada is the Vatican.
• 17:38
  And the satellite burns are the churches.
• 17:41
  So they're the ones out there, you know, preaching the good news of Burning Man.
• 17:46
  And there's also—the Burning Man represents kind of the bottom-up side of this.
• 17:51
  The top-down comes from things like the World Economic Forum.
• 17:53
  And this relationship is explicit.
• 17:55
  If you go to the Burning Man Journal website, you'll read an article called Davos is Burning.
• 18:00
  At least it was up there when we were making this podcast.
• 18:03
  And they say that Davos, the Burning Man, the World Economic Forum are animated by kindred spirits.
• 18:10
  I think there's more truth to that than even they realize.
• 18:13
  And they talk about we're having the same discussions.
• 18:15
  We're talking about the same issues.
• 18:16
  One of the co-founders of Google is on stage with Klaus Schwab at World Economic Forum.
• 18:20
  And he says, hey, I feel like we're at Burning Man, except we're all wearing clothes.
• 18:24
  Oh, my goodness.
• 18:25
  It's crazy.
• 18:25
  This is more deeply connected than we're even aware of.
• 18:27
  Oh, the chief technology officer, the CTO for the World Economic Forum, went to Burning Man and gave a talk about burnifying education.
• 18:36
  You've got Rockefellers involved.
• 18:37
  You've got billionaires, Ray Dalio.
• 18:39
  You have the former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO, General Wesley Clark at Burning Man.
• 18:44
  You've got Republican and Democrat members of Congress.
• 18:46
  You've got mayors of big cities across America.
• 18:57
  from Burning Man.
• 18:59
  Wow.
• 19:00
  It's everywhere.
• 19:01
  And the people who are creating the technological products that increasingly govern our lives, products and services, are the people who are deep, deep into this movement.
• 19:12
  So, friends, it's extensive.
• 19:14
  There's so much more to this, friends, that Alex and I can cover in this short podcast.
• 19:18
  But I do want to give you the main website for Alex and his writing and his work and his staff, libertysentinel.org, libertysentinel.org.
• 19:26
  Also, make sure you subscribe on substack.com at Liberty Sentinel.
• 19:32
  And, Alex, so I want to kind of make, before we run out of time, just kind of jump to...
• 19:39
  you explain how the sun below the nearby mountains, everyone's waiting anxiously for the climax of burning man, and that is a literal burning of the man.
• 19:51
  As you explain, in less than an hour, you write, a more than 100-foot-tall structure with an effigy of a wicker man on top would go up in flames in a dazzle of fireworks and celebration.
• 20:04
  The question is...
• 20:07
  why is this all just pagan?
• 20:10
  Is this something greater than what most people realize?
• 20:13
  Why?
• 20:14
  And then they start doing their dances and the demonic stuff kind of kicks into hyperdrive when the burning man is actually burning, right?
• 20:21
  Yeah.
• 20:22
  Is that the end goal?
• 20:23
  And then they take this to their churches or wherever they go outside when they leave?
• 20:29
  Yeah, the organization that runs Burning Man, they created an organization after it got a little bit too out of control, like people were dying out in the desert, so they created a formal LLC.
• 20:37
  And the organization is careful to never really define the spiritual or the symbolic significance of all this.
• 20:44
  And what they say is, we're just going to let you decide what it means to you.
• 20:48
  So we asked probably 100 different people there, what does it mean to you?
• 20:52
  What does it mean to the people around here?
• 20:53
  And we got a lot of different answers.
• 20:55
  But ultimately, I think what we're watching now is a rebirth of paganism on an institutional scale.
• 21:01
  You know, as the gospel was spreading through ancient Rome, and they were ruthlessly persecuting Christians, eventually the church became strong enough that all this paganism had to go in the closet.
• 21:12
  You know, we suppressed a lot of these wicked practices, the infanticide, the human sacrifice, the orgies at the pagan temples, like the institutional slavery.
• 21:20
  Like, Christians did away with that for good reason.
• 21:22
  Yeah.
• 21:22
  Yeah.
• 21:23
  And for a long time, that stuff went underground.
• 21:25
  That stuff went into the closet.
• 21:26
  That stuff went into the secret societies where you had to go through a bunch of degrees and do all the secret rituals before you could get to the true knowledge that Lucifer is God and God, Yahweh, Jehovah is the oppressive one.
• 21:38
  All of that's coming back out of the closet now.
• 21:40
  Yeah.
• 21:40
  And they look at this through the occult lens.
• 21:43
  I mean, we have the Bible.
• 21:44
  We know Ephesians chapter 6.
• 21:45
  We know powers, principalities.
• 21:47
  You and I just participated in a great movie on that.
• 21:50
  They have their own telling of this story.
• 21:52
  Okay.
• 21:53
  And I think nobody has done as good a job articulating it than Alice Bailey.
• 21:59
  Alice Bailey was the founder of the Lucifer Publishing Company.
• 22:01
  Yeah, Lucis Trust.
• 22:01
  Yeah, they rebranded it.
• 22:03
  Yeah.
• 22:03
  Extremely influential organization.
• 22:05
  Yeah.
• 22:05
  And if you boil down the teachings that she received from these spirits that she was channeling, it's essentially an inversion of what the Bible teaches.
• 22:12
  So she argues that there's a spiritual hierarchy that governs the world, and she's right, but they're the good guys in her telling of it.
• 22:19
  Lucifer's the good guy who came to bring us light and free us from Jehovah, who had us trapped and imprisoned in this garden.
• 22:26
  And so they believe that we're going to see an externalization of the hierarchy, of the spiritual hierarchy, as we move into the New Age, this Age of Aquarius.
• 22:35
  And what's going to happen is all the religions of the world are going to come together
• 22:39
  Apostate Christian churches are going to play a key role in this, she says.
• 22:43
  And eventually, all of these things that you could only learn of by going through the secret societies, the ancient mystery schools, the whole of humanity is going to be inducted into this.
• 22:52
  And she talks about, what her demon talks about, these powerful groups of individuals, these ashrams, that are going to help facilitate this process, wealthy and powerful people who are going to start bringing all of humanity into this new way of thinking in preparation for the new age, and that's going to be a key role in this.
• 23:07
  And I think Burning Man is the tip of the spear of that.
• 23:10
  I mean, you're seeing it manifested everywhere.
• 23:11
  You know, you turn on the stupid bowl and like they're doing satanic rituals.
• 23:14
  You turn on the halftime show.
• 23:15
  Right.
• 23:16
  You turn on the Olympics.
• 23:16
  They're blaspheming Jesus Christ on the last summer.
• 23:19
  You turn on the Grammys.
• 23:21
  They're like literally doing satanic dances with devil horns and flames everywhere.
• 23:25
  Like we're watching that process that she described.
• 23:29
  And I think Burning Man is the tip of the spear for this whole movement.
• 23:34
  That is one of the best explanations of this that I've heard in a long time.
• 23:38
  First of all, they're out of the closet now because I think our culture, our society is ready to say, well, anything goes now.
• 23:46
  I mean, perversion has been pushed.
• 23:47
  Evil is being called good.
• 23:49
  Good is being called evil to such an extent that it almost doesn't make us blush anymore to some degree.
• 23:56
  Real Christians are offended by this, but there are some people that go, yeah, I see that on TV, I see that on the Internet.
• 24:02
  What's wrong with that?
• 24:02
  Exactly.
• 24:03
  So I understand that.
• 24:05
  They're out of the closet.
• 24:06
  What I'm wondering, and I think some of our viewers, and we're down to just a couple minutes, Alex, how does it get from Burning Man to Everytown, USA?
• 24:16
  We understand how it might get to San Francisco and some of the big cities and some of the blue states, but how does it get?
• 24:21
  Is it education?
• 24:22
  Is it the internet?
• 24:23
  How does it get to small towns and young people?
• 24:26
  Because young people, you think they would want to reach them with this paganism.
• 24:30
  And that's what they're doing.
• 24:31
  And so it's all of the above, really.
• 24:33
  We've got a video of a member of Congress who went and said, we need to implement this in government.
• 24:37
  We actually ran into who we interviewed, Grover Norquist, the leading Republican kingmaker, was there.
• 24:42
  We interviewed him after he gave a speech.
• 24:44
  So this is now invading government.
• 24:46
  It's in India.
• 24:47
  All the technological services that you use are really developed by these people.
• 24:52
  It's invading the culture.
• 24:54
  But Larry Harvey was clear that what's really going to trigger the shift, in his view, was a major crisis.
• 25:00
  He said when the crisis gets big enough, when people feel enough pain, that's when we're going to make this switch from what's left of our Christian civilization into this new system of thinking, of being, of organizing the economy.
• 25:13
  And so that's what they are trying to bring about very consciously.
• 25:17
  So this is prophetic.
• 25:20
  In a very real sense.
• 25:20
  Yeah, very real.
• 25:22
  So the B system, we don't have enough time to talk about that, but that's on the horizon.
• 25:26
  We already see signs that are leading up to that.
• 25:29
  Everything, it seems to be building, right?
• 25:32
  Last two minutes, encourage believers just to be informed about what we need to be informed about, and how would you just encourage, especially parents and grandparents with young people growing up during these times?
• 25:45
  Well, if you have young people, you need to be very, very careful to read and study God's Word and to be in prayer about proper discipleship, because they are being attacked from all angles by the enemy.
• 25:55
  It's coming through education.
• 25:56
  It's coming through culture.
• 25:57
  It's coming through entertainment.
• 25:59
  You need to find a good option for education, whether that's Freedom Project Academy, Classical Conversations.
• 26:04
  I mean, there's wonderful options.
• 26:05
  You don't have to send them to a government school, and I pray you won't.
• 26:09
  And we need to be discerning, too.
• 26:10
  I'm not anti-AI.
• 26:11
  I'm not anti-technology.
• 26:13
  But I think there's a really good case to be made that a lot of these technologies are going to go into the beast system.
• 26:19
  And I think we're watching that emerge right now.
• 26:21
  So I would not be getting my theology from AI.
• 26:24
  I would not be getting my ideas on the Bible from these technology companies.
• 26:28
  We need to be discerning.
• 26:29
  We need to be wise as serpents, gentle as doves.
• 26:32
  And we need to have a sense of urgency for reaching the lost.
• 26:35
  Yes.
• 26:35
  Amen to that.
• 26:36
  A sense of urgency, which I pray we can just get more people involved in doing the job that God has us do while we're here.
• 26:44
  And discernment is the word of the year, continues to be.
• 26:48
  By the way, friends, Alex will be coming back to town to Green Bay next week.
• 26:53
  April 30th, May 1st.
• 26:55
  It's the Worldview Matters Conference.
• 26:57
  He was at this one this year.
• 26:58
  We sold out.
• 26:59
  We booked a bigger venue.
• 27:01
  We doubled the occupancy.
• 27:03
  14 speakers, two days, 89 bucks.
• 27:06
  Tundra Lodge Resort and Conference Center and Water Park in Green Bay, just down the street from the temple.
• 27:11
  I mean, from Lambeau Field on Lombardi Avenue.
• 27:14
  Alex, brother, thank you so much.
• 27:16
  You condensed a whole lot in a short amount of time.
• 27:18
  It's so good to have you in studio and safe travels and God bless all you do.
• 27:22
  Thank you, brother.
• 27:22
  It's an honor.
• 27:23
  God bless you, too.
• 27:23
  Thank you so much.
• 27:24
  Friends, share this one.
• 27:26
  God bless you, and as always, keep speaking the truth about things that matter.
• 27:29
  See you next time.
