Death To Tyrants Podcast

This week, Isaac Weishaupt joins us to discuss all things conspiracy, occult, and Orthodoxy. From Isaac's bio: "Hello, my name is Isaac Weishaupt and I'm the founder of IlluminatiWatcher.com. I've been researching my entire life as an ongoing mission to determine if this reality is the truth or a cunning holographic deception. I don't fully subscribe to any conspiracy theories, but I do find some intriguing if they resonate with any logic (also if they don't; who am I kidding, some of them are just clever). I live in America and feel that a lot of people are more concerned with being entertained than being informed or educated. Our media reflects that." Isaac was great to chat with, and I know you'll love this discussion.

This week, my friend and your friend, Cyprian, a.k.a. Vin Armani, is back with us. We discuss what 2023 represented and what is to come in 2024. Cyprian posits that we are no longer in a capitalist system but rather a techno-feudalism system now. We discuss the power brokers in this and what it means for the rest of us.

My guest this week is Hank Hanegraaff, widely known as the Bible Answer Man. Widely regarded as one of the world's leading Christian authors and apologists, Hank is deeply committed to equipping Christians to be so familiar with truth that when counterfeits loom on the horizon, they recognize them instantaneously. Through his live call-in radio broadcast, Hank equips Christians to mine the Bible for all its wealth and answers questions on the basis of careful research and sound reasoning. Through the Hank Unplugged podcast, he interviews today's most significant Christian leaders, apologists, and thinkers. In this episode, we delve into his journey to Orthodoxy and how his deep research and study of the Bible, in a way, lead him there. We also get into the very real dangers of Zionism, misconceptions on the Book of Revelation, the rapture, the Scofield reference Bible, and more. This one is not to be missed!

This week on the show, we have the fellas from the Kingpilled podcast, Matt Erickson and Cooper Brooks. They have been doing some wonderful episodes analyzing the various generations. In this one, we break down the similarities between the boomer and millennial generations and then the Gen X and Gen Z generations.

Today, Father John Peck returns to the show. Fr. John contributed  a number of articles for the Orthodox Study Bible and commentary on the Old Testament books of Hosea, Song of Songs, and III Maccabees (perhaps the first Orthodox commentary for this book in existence). He founded Journey To Orthodoxy for helping those inquiring into and seeking contacts within the Orthodox Church and assisting heterodox pastors in their transition to Orthodoxy. He also launched Good Guys Wear Black, a website designed to help men who are discerning a vocation in the Orthodox Church. Fr. John teaches a class on the myths and truths around Christmas. Today, we dive into many of these. With the rise of social media, there's been a ton of bad theology, inaccurate history, pop culture Pagan takes, and just way too much misinformation about Christmas. Was it Pagan? Why December 25th? Can we know when Christ was born? We get into all of this and more. Plus: What might 2024 bring us? More insanity and lies from the regime. We get int

This week, a man with a true eye for beauty in art and architecture joins me. Andrew Gould is an artisan and designer specializing in traditional buildings and liturgical art. Andrew has designed dozens of new buildings, renovations, and custom liturgical furnishings. His practice is based in Charleston, South Carolina, and his residential and commercial work is focused within the Charleston Historic District. When designing churches and liturgical art, Andrew works in the Eastern Orthodox traditions (Byzantine and Russian), and his work can be found throughout North America and beyond. We discuss the awful state of ugly modern architecture and how it relates to our souls. When did we lose beauty and love in regards to art and architecture? Do some architects purposely make things evil and ugly? Are beautiful old style buildings too expensive to build these days? Andrew also discusses the importance of making American Orthodox Churches not only beautiful but respectful to and of the local culture. Should we p

My guest this week is John Heers. John is head of the First Things Foundation. First Things Foundation was conceived as a way to remind wealthy westerners of what gives meaning to life and as a mechanism for serving the poorest among us. As a couple of men working in the aid field, we saw how do-gooders sometimes do profound damage to struggling communities. That damage isn't always physical; things get built when the cash shows up. The damage is spiritual, resulting in local people and local economies becoming dependent on outsiders. Or worse, these communities are violently transformed into what outsiders deem to be "good". We get into the spirit of what John calls "old world thinking" and the Orthodox way to offer philanthropy and aid. At the end, join me in the quiz that I take! Am I more of a new world enlightenment thinker, or do I trend towards the OLD WORLD?

This week, author, podcaster, and Orthodox Christian Jamie Hanshaw joins me. Jamie is well-versed in psy-ops, secret societies, demonic forces in Hollywood, and more. She's also quite articulate and thoughtful as she talks about the red-pilled man-o-sphere and feminism, which are really the same energy, just directed in different ways. Is the ultimate end of the red-pilled men trend to make more homosexual men? What gurus do modern females fall for? What gurus do modern men fall for? We get into all of this and more.

My guest this week is the author of the new book, "Lost in TransNation: A Child Psychiatrist's Guide Out of the Madness", Miriam Grossman, MD. Dr. Grossman and I get into the early foundations of what became the widespread child abuse phenomenon of guiding children to transition into the opposite sex. Dr. Grossman pushes back against the junk science and cult-like tactics of this movement and provides parents direction and information on how to navigate these disturbing waters.

This week, my guest is Father Moses McPherson, rector of Holy Mother of God Orthodox Church in Georgetown, TX. He is also the newest contributor over at Patristic Faith. Fr. Moses grew up in a rough area outside of Los Angeles, CA, with a Protestant Pastor as a father. He didn't have a lot of parental oversight and thus got into crime, drugs, and running adjacent with LA gangs. His journey into psychedelics took him down some seriously dark paths. He landed himself in an abusive military boys home where he soon found Christ. He details this wild journey that eventually led him to Orthodoxy. This is one of my deepest, most emotional interviews to date. I know you will be touched by this story. To check out Fr. Moses's Church, go here:   To visit his Patristic Faith page, go here:   Sponsors: The Texas Independence Conference (Texit Con): November 9 - 12 in Waco, TX: Use promo code BUCK at checkout for a discount on your tickets!

My guest this week is my friend Jim Jatras. Jim and I discuss what's going on with Israel, Hamas, and the USA. Many people see this as a "choose one side or the other" ordeal, and it's not that simple. Zionist politicians and pastors have a misunderstanding of what the Christian view of Israel is, and Jim is here to explain the truth about it all.

Today our friends Jonah Martin and Alex Braszko are back on the show to discuss "prepping" from an Orthodox standpoint. Often, the term "prepping" can have a negative connotation to people. This may be because it very often focuses on what one can do to prep for themselves and their immediate household only. It often has to do with material goods and food alone. In this episode, my guests breakdown how and why we should prepare for a dim future as well as how we got here and why we even exist in the first place!

This week, I welcome back Joe Allen to the show. Joe has a new book out called "Dark Aeon: Transhumanism and the War Against Humanity". This discussion dives into the dystopian future that we are facing with the rise of artificial intelligence and transhumanism. We get into the religious and spiritual lens that many AI proponents see AI through, their end goals, possible dangers we face, and then how to deal with it all.

My guest this week is Father John Whiteford. Fr. John is Archpriest and pastor at St. Jonah Orthodox Church in Spring, Texas. He is also the dean of the southern deanery (Texas and Louisiana) of the Diocese of Chicago and Mid-America ROCOR. Today, we are discussing some themes from a talk he gave at the Ludwig Orthodox Fellowship Inaugural Conference recently. It deals with his realization that once he became an Orthodox Christian, he could no longer support the neoconservative pro-war foreign policy philosophy. We get into the multiple wars that the US has participated in and the eradication of Christians in various parts of the world due to the actions of the US military. This leads us into a discussion on the Yankee mentality and the Southern mentality. The Puritanism of the Yankees has unfortunately won out when it comes to wars and democracy, and that has led to some very bad results. Fr. John feels as though Orthodox Christianity is suited for the agrarian southern heart and mind. We also get into a sub

My guest this week is Jay Dyer. Jay runs one of the largest podcasts in our space as well as being the author of "Esoteric Hollywood" volumes one and two. He is known for his deep analysis of Hollywood, geopolitics, and culture. His graduate work focused on psychological warfare and film. In this episode, Jay and I get into the non-organic, controlled-from-the-top nature of the 1960's "counterculture" that so many people still think was a grassroots freedom expression. Jay discusses the multiple figures that had CIA ties, military intelligence ties, elite global ties, and so on. From Hollywood to LSD to the music business and from Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles to the Haight Ashbury scene in San Francisco, much of the movement was steered from the top.

My guest this week is one half of the Mystic Sisters Podcast and Substack: she is Amy Mastrine. Amy is an Orthodox Christian and an artist and iconographer. Amy's journey through far-left politics and feminism left her not only spiritually sick, but she became physically and mentally ill as well from her empty political ideology. At times, she couldn't even speak because, instinctually, she knew her ideas were wrong. She went through multiple secular therapists, all of whom weren't prepared to give her the help she really needed. After a journey through atheism, Catholicism, and multiple other churches, Amy found Christ through the Orthodox Church, and her healing began. Her art showed in this transformation as she began to work on icons of Christ, Mary, and the Saints. Amy's story is gripping, and she's open and honest about her pain.

My guest this week is someone I've wanted to interview for quite a while. He is the proprietor over at The Symbolic World, none other than Jonathan Pageau himself. Jonathan is a French-Canadian icon carver, public speaker, and YouTuber exploring the symbolic patterns that underlie our experience of the world, how these patterns emerge and come together, manifesting in religion, art, and popular culture. He's also the editor of the Orthodox Arts Journal and host of the Symbolic World blog and podcast. In this episode, we discuss the dark issues with AI and where the world is headed in that regard. We discuss how it works as far as "agency" goes, the demonic aspects of it, as well as what not to necessarily worry about. I get into art, beauty, Jordan Peterson, symbolism, and more.

My guest this week is back for his second appearance. He is "Nicholas", a writer over at Orthodox Reflections. Nicholas wrote a very good piece titled, "There is No Free Market or Democracy in America", and he's here to dive into the points he makes in it. Largely, we discuss the three mega-companies that own much of what we know as corporate and governmental America. They are State Street, BlackRock, and Vanguard. The 401(k)s and pensions of millions and millions of ordinary Americans are the key to untold power and influence. The big three asset management firms own almost the entire corporate sector and an increasingly large chunk of the residential real estate market as well. How does it change things when the same management firms own everyone and their competitors? We discuss all this and more.
