THOSE IMMORTAL WORDS were spoken by Michael Kabuni, a political science lecturer at the University of Papua New Guinea, responding to a false claim by President Biden that his uncle had been eaten by cannibals after being shot down in WWII. Biden told the story twice Wednesday, in Scranton and then again in Pittsburgh. As it happens, his uncle, Ambrose J. Finnegan, was not a pilot and hadn’t been shot down; the plane on which he was flying lost power in both engines and ditched in the ocean with only the flight engineer surviving the crash. Needless to say, the people of Papua New Guinea are not thrilled about being characterized as cannibals. We also discuss the tense situation in the Middle East. Since last week’s program, Iran hit Israel with a wave of drones and cruise missiles, nearly all of which were intercepted. There was only one reported casualty, a 7-year-old Bedouin girl. In response, Israel on Friday reportedly destroyed the radar unit that protects Iran’s Natanz nuclear plant. Then, Friday night, reports from Iraq indicate that somebody struck a base south of Baghdad used by Iran-backed Shia militias. Israel and the US have denied responsibility, but the Shias in Iraq blame Israel nonetheless. We discuss who may have attacked the Shias there and why.

THE MOOD IN ISRAEL is tense this weekend, as intelligence sources say Iran is preparing an imminent strike to retaliate for the recent airstrike against Iran’s embassy in Damascus. Against this backdrop are Internet rumors about plans to sacrifice a red heifer to prepare for construction of the Third Temple. Some say it will happen on April 22, 2024. Unless Israel National News was wrong about the ages of the five red heifers delivered to Shiloh last July when we discussed it on this podcast (or unless someone was lying), the earliest one of them could be slaughtered, according to rabbinic tradition, is this coming September. Meanwhile, Iran seized a container ship owned by an Israeli in the Strait of Hormuz. This suggests that Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates have been working with Israel to bypass Yemen’s blockade of the Red Sea on the other side of Arabia. We also discuss the recent fascination with UFOs and “aliens.” Christians should be prepared to discuss the inhuman entities that have been visiting the planet for thousands of years. They’re not extraterrestrial, they’re extradimensionsal. We call them angels. Finally, we address Tucker Carlson’s misinformed and antisemitic interview with Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac this week. Carlson has never been a friend of Israel, but he made his bias clear this week by giving a platform to an Arab pastor from Bethlehem who places more importance on his ethnicity than his Savior.

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 https://www.raymondibrahim.com/2024/03/04/islamic-state-calls-for-beheading-and-burning-of-every-western-civilian/, 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?
