The world is trending toward the tribulation. The birth pangs are shortening, wars and rumors of war abound. How must the Christian prepare? What exactly is DARPA? The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, DARPA, is a pioneering agency within the United States Department of Defense responsible for spearheading groundbreaking research and development projects.
Welcome to Understanding the Times Radio with Pastor Josh Schwartz and Ken Michael. Brought to you by Olive Tree Ministries, a ministry founded by Jan Martell. In our program, Pastor Josh and Ken talk to Monkey of Monkey Works U.S. He reads the scriptures and watches the flights in the sky and connects the data points. Why is it important to watch the covert flights above our heads?
You need to hear this update. In the extended version, Pastor Josh and Ken continue the conversation with Monkey. You won't want to miss it. If you are listening on radio, you can find the extended version, ad-free, on our website, olivetreeviews.org. or on our YouTube and Rumble channels.
Few alliances resonate with the weight of history and strategy like the Five Eyes Intelligence Coalition. As the world plunged into the chaos of World War II, the United Kingdom and the United States forged an unbreakable bond. not just as allies in arms. but as pioneers of intelligence sharing. They recognized that the threats they faced were not merely military.
but deeply entrenched in the shadows of espionage and subterfuge. This nascent alliance laid the groundwork for what would evolve into a sophisticated web of security cooperation, ultimately bringing Canada, Australia, and New Zealand into the fold. One might wonder, why five? The unique amalgamation of these nations, each with distinct capabilities and historical legacies, creates a formidable alliance. Together, they epitomize a collective commitment to mutual defense against a spectrum of threats that range from the insidious grasp of terrorism to the ever-present menace of cyber warfare.
The roots of their collaboration can be traced back to 1946's Yucusa Agreement, a document that may seem dull on the surface, but, within its clauses, harbors the essence of shared security ideology. In this interconnected web, each nation upholds its own legal frameworks. It raises a thought, can security can truly exist without confronting the delicate balance between safety and privacy. Critics abound, raising alarms over accusations of mass surveillance that circulate through public discourse. The tension is palpable.
tug of war between national security and the rights of citizens. This is Understanding the Times. I'm Ken Michael, along with my co-host, Pastor Josh Schwartz.
Well, there's no doubt that there is chaos and calamity going on in the world. There's wars and rumors of wars. We're seeing the infiltration of so many things coming into our country around the world, and we're going to discuss those today with our guest. His name is Monkey. You may not have heard of him before, but Josh and I certainly are aware of what he does with his ministry.
He provides commentary and analysis on current events, especially related to the military, aviation, and geopolitics. He's a third-generation military veteran who spent more than 30 years in the aerospace and defense industry, and he's worked across a range of areas from supply chain logistics, aircraft maintenance, lean manufacturing, and advanced weapons programs. He's a follower of Jesus Christ. and a faithful watchman on the wall.
Well, we'd like to welcome today Monkey to our program. Monkey, thanks for joining us today. Hey, thanks for having me. It's a true pleasure just to be a part of this and just to get out there and spread the gospel and show people what is really going on in the world because there's so many. Folks that don't really pull it all together and connect the dots.
And this is, I think, a great platform to do that. I'm so thankful for your ministry. I'm so thankful for your work because it helps the people who watch to understand that there are so many deeper things that are happening, even in the United States, that we should at least be aware of and start questioning.
So, what we want to do in the first half of this program, Monkey, is just work through what are some of the domestic threats, some of the things that are happening in the United States of America that people need to be aware of, and how you can see that from the flights, specifically military flights that you track on a regular basis. Oh, yeah, for sure. You know, you mentioned Five Eyes at the very beginning, and I will tell you, when 9-11 happened, the Patriot Act came into play. And that actually stimulated. And put the five eyes on just a hybrid approach that.
Accelerated The spine on Americans. And then it actually. was renewed and Increased. In terms of the surveillance. in just the recent last couple years And so what I'm looking at over our heads on a daily basis are the intelligence balloons.
I track almost 70. Military intelligence balloons. They used to be called Google balloons. And that changed hands a couple of years ago. And so now, what I do is part of my flight tracker, I use a software called Skyglass.
And it allows me to do 3D tracking. And I literally have a giant watch list of about 8,000 aircraft that I track that are all tied to intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. And over our heads, 24-7, are these. These balloons that are gathering. Information, signal intelligence, images, they do everything from.
traffic monitoring. From a military perspective. To Listening. Uh to our devices and everything that gets transmitted. But it also goes a step further than that.
And that is How do they get around spying on US citizens? Without it technically being spying, well, it's that comes through Five Eyes, and they use other agencies. to do the data collection. on their behalf. And so in the United States, what happens is they may be looking for a bad guy, so to speak.
But what they're really doing is the data collection that you and I get caught up in.
So it may be. A group that they're watching, but that data that surrounds that group collects general US citizens, and we just get caught up in it.
Now, the dangerous part to all of that. Is the fact that AI now, you're not sending it to a desk with a couple analysts that are trying to pour over all the data. You have AI that is almost instantaneously pouring through the data.
So as it gets collected, It's sending what they think may be something that needs to be flagged to a desk of someone that's going to make a real-time decision. But that will slowly change hands. And I think what we're watching. Ultimately, is the beast system coming into play downstream? And I don't know that it's that far off.
because the technology and capability is there. AI gets smarter by the second. And if you go back and look at just recently when it started coming out in the last couple years. You know, the original framework, you would see kids in Gaza that have six fingers, and that was kind of your flag. But nowadays, it's perfected it so much you can't tell the difference between a real image and a fake image.
And so that Is how strong AI is, and if you watch. Trump just signed an EO the other day that basically Ties all of our agencies together through AI so that they can coordinate. their information real time. It is the slippery slope. And of course, our government is spending hundreds of billions of dollars.
through private enterprise as well as government entities. To build that infrastructure even further than it already is.
So it's a definite slippery slope, and it's a. It's kind of scary when you think about what's going on over our heads, but at the same time, There are a lot of other things that are happening. where we've been infiltrated. And if you guys want to talk about that, we can get into that as well. Yes, you made several great points there.
People don't understand that they're being surveilled almost twenty four seven. If you have cameras, if whatever devices are in your house, Anyone can hook into that, especially our government.
So that is spot on. You mentioned a number of things, but You mentioned DARPA, and I think that's a huge part of this whole thing, the Defense Advanced Research Project. Just give our listeners a little insight as to what exactly they're involved in, because they're a big part of this. Oh, yeah. They're involved in a lot of things.
Most of it we don't know about. There's a lot of things I can't talk about. Just because I've been read onto programs, and it's still most of those are classified. But the things that I can give you an example. Uh would be things like hypersonic missiles, uh drones, AI.
The internet, if you back up and look at the mass surveillance is happening from an internet perspective, they are the ones that created Google, Facebook, 23andMe, which is your DNA. Ancestry.com. Yes. And just a multitude of other. Sites that we use every day in our lives.
And what it was is a tool for them to conduct mass surveillance on all of us. And even down to the point where your phones, you know, when you hold it up and it does facial recognition. They create programs that make people you know give their photos like Snapchat, for example, when people do, you know, their their little selfies. They're feeding that system of facial recognition because they're taking a picture of themselves. And then they will post, you know, their name and everything tied to it.
And then it gets validated. And so about Fifteen years ago, The government probably had about 85% of the population tied into facial recognition. And now it is, it's probably everybody except for newborns coming out of the womb. It's really. Very, very Uh advanced.
And it's going to get beyond that. It's going to start going into biometrics, et cetera. But DARPA is behind every single bit of that. Yeah, he's absolutely right, Josh. And we're seeing the B system, like he said, being set up right now.
We've talked about this many times. If the church was raptured today, this system's already in place. Nothing else has to happen. Right. No, we are very far advanced, and the evil one has worked behind the scenes using all kinds of different technologies and governments to implement these things.
And Monkey, that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to ISR and tracking and surveillance. But another aspect of domestic threats that I think no one really that doesn't listen to you is aware of is the Club K missile threat.
So we pulled a quick clip from one of your recent programs. And after we show this, I want to get your comment on it. Let's get into the Club K missile system because many of you are probably asking, What are you talking about? These Club Ks. If you don't know what it is, I'll just give you a back of a napkin on what this thing really does.
Okay, you'll notice here it's sitting on a rail car. That's once it's inside your country. The reality is this thing is going to roll up on your shoreline. And into your ports on top of a cargo container ship. This is showing a cutaway, and you'll notice that the launch tubes are actually sitting straight up.
That is once it's deployed, it's not going to come into your shores or your country like that. All right, it's going to be laying down flat like a normal, contained. cargo vessels, uh steel. A container, all right. The missiles above my head, those are the various types of.
of caliper cruise missiles. that would go into this launch system.
Now, they can be... Conventional, nuclear, biological or chemical. The nuclear one's the one you really want to worry about. But if you're trying to take out infrastructure inside a country and cause chaos, hey, you throw some conventional in there, mix it with a little bit of biological chemical. and you're off to the races.
So Monkey, you've been talking about Club K missile systems for a number of years. For those that are hearing this for the very first time, can you really, beyond that video, break it down for them? Yeah, no, absolutely. It is a stealthy threat. The Russians developed the system a while ago.
And the reason it's so stealthy is because it can enter into your ports and ride into your country almost like a Trojan horse. To the point where you don't know it's even there, and they can sit dormant for a long period of time.
So There's no way for anybody in our intelligence community, even with all of the assets overhead For them to pick these up, they're inside a steel container, and unless they are transmitting. That's the only way, say, an R-135 aircraft that's doing signal intelligence is going to even pick it up. And so these things can sit inside your company. And the reason they're such a big threat Is because if you go back to the Obama era. He basically signed a 40-year port lease with Golf Tainer, and that was under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
when they were doing a lot of the Uranium one stuff, remember that scandal where it was pay to play, okay, and so. They gave a UAE company called Golf Tainer. Who the father of the son that owns Gulf Tainer was the nuclear scientist for Saddam Hussein. And they gave him a 40-year port lease in Cape Canaveral.
So, Port Canaveral, it was called Project Pelican. And that's just one of many. We've got another one that's up further up the coastline that UAE Gulf Tainer also runs. And so what happens when you have somebody else operating and running your ports, you have a porous system.
Now About 8% of the 12 million containers that come into our country every year are actually inspected. 8%.
So, that tells you if anybody wants to get something in and they control the ports, they can do so.
So, my thought is that this system is probably already here. It is not something that we're worried about coming in in the future. More than likely, those things are already in place, and we have no way to detect them and know where they are until it's too late.
Now, The Trojan horse aspect. is this. If they're internal to your country and they launch. By the time those launch tubes pop up and deplete the the tubes Then you have an inert system. There's nothing you can do to take that out because it doesn't really matter anymore.
Those systems can basically launch it can Write itself. deploy all four tubes. in a matter of minutes, and probably sub two minutes.
Well, then your time to target is Probably about the same because I'm sure you're not going to try to hit something on the West Coast if it's on the East Coast. You're going to probably hit something close by on the East Coast, i.e., the White House, the Pentagon, et cetera.
So That's the big threat. And then, if it's sitting off your coast, Even if it's 10 miles off your coast, you're still sub five minutes before the thing launches and it hits the target. And there again, what do you do to respond to that? There's really nothing you can do without hitting yourself. Especially if it's an internal threat.
So that's the big thing about the Club K missile system. The other piece, too, is. We're talking Club K, which is Soviet. Or Soviet era, it's a Russian system. But Iran has them?
Uh China has them. There's a lot of countries out there that have these. you know, absolutely use them.
So that's the scary part because it doesn't just narrow down to one country. that uh has the ability to do something that stealthy. Yeah, and my big concern is, and I've been talking about this as I've been Teaching around the country is the bioweapons part of it because even if they take it out, that's dispersed.
So they don't have to launch it very far. If they're off the coast of San Francisco or New York, they can launch one of these. And if it's a biohazard weapon, and what China is doing now in the biochemistry and biotechnology is unbelievable. I don't even want to know what they're developing right now. This could spread rapidly and wipe out a large part of the population.
So, yeah, this is concerning. As you said, this is scary.
So, how do we respond to that, especially as followers of Jesus Christ? I mean, we're not to be afraid, we're not to be worried, we're not to be anxious, but what should we do? People ask: how do you prepare for this? Yeah, you know, at the end of the day, it's faith over fear. You just stay prayed up.
That's all we can do. All things are going to go according to God's will, right? That's Isaiah 55:11. Nothing you and I can do to change that. And I would just tell our followers and our listeners just to be, you know, stay prayed up, stay strong in the word.
And that's what we're here to do. We're not here to live in fear, as Jan always says, right? I'm not. Trying to scare you. I'm trying to prepare you.
And the best way to prepare is to just know that God's got us. And our, you know, Jesus died on the cross. For our sins in advance.
So, if you believe in him, you know where you're going and not to worry about it. Absolutely.
Well, we're going to transition here to some international stuff. And I want you to take a listen to this clip, and I'll get your comment on it. Here's everything you need to know about the latest on the conflict. In August, President Trump secretly authorized the U.S. military to use force against Latin American drug cartels, classified as foreign terrorist organizations.
In a show of force to combat the cartels, which Trump blames for flooding American communities with fentanyl and other illicit drugs, the administration sent U.S. warships into Venezuelan waters. But Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro wasn't happy with the U.S. deployment, calling it an illegal regime change attempt. Two Venezuelan military aircraft even flew over a U.S.
Navy ship. Conducting counter-drug operations in the area in what the Pentagon described as a highly provocative move. But I would say, General, if they do that, you have a choice of doing anything you want.
Okay? If they fly, In a dangerous position, I would say that you can You or your captains can make the decision as to what they want to do. Trump has been critical of Maduro's leadership and doesn't recognize the dictator as legitimate. This past summer, the administration placed a $50 million bounty on the leader's head. To face outstanding drug charges in New York.
According to one survey exclusively shared with The Post, most Venezuelans don't even consider Maduro legitimately elected after the dictator stole the country's past two elections. You're listening to Understanding the Times, the program. Founded by Jan Markell.
Well, it's almost the new year, and I know many of you are looking for a new devotional book. We have one, a very good one in our store at olivetreeviews.org. It's Until He Comes by Amir Sarfati and Barry Stagner. We would love for you to pick it up. Remember, if you buy it at olivetreeviews.org, you get free shipping in the U.S.
and Canada.
So Monkey, you've been watching this escalate for months now. And so my question to you is this. What's happening in Venezuela and is it deeper than illicit drugs and drug cartels? Oh, way deeper. This is layered.
Beyond the cartels. And I will tell you, it goes into everything from. drug trafficking, human trafficking. When you talk about Maduro, Maduro is directly linked to the cartels. And he's directly linked to the military, and the military is directly linked to the cartels.
So, when you talk about that island chain, Caracas, just north of the mainland of Venezuela, that is just. It's heavily diluted with with human trafficking. And uh they're I here's just kind of to back up a little bit. During Trump's first administration, I had someone that was on his staff actually contact me. and because of my flight tracking and we talked specifically about Epstein.
And Epstein, you know, you see the three minutes of tape that just appears, and you know.
Something happened in the jail cell. All the cameras were cut, et cetera, around the area.
Well, this individual actually told me He gave me longe lats to Epstein's location. And I kind of tucked it away for a while. I knew exactly where it was. But then when all of a sudden We started to look at Venezuela again. I thought, this is kind of weird back in August, how we just all, it just.
randomly start sending ships navy navy ships down to the area Well, if you go back, remember. July 8th. Bibi Netanyahu shows up. unannounced to Trump's White House. They have a discussion.
July 9th, Pam Bondi comes out and says, there's nothing to see here from the Epstein files. What I believe happened more than likely is somebody Told Trump, hey, we got eyes on your boy. And so It's the only thing that makes sense for the US Navy to come down there. I think it's containment. Because I think if he gets out, if somebody captures him and he's alive and well.
Think about what that does, one, to our national security agency aspect. Right. That part would certainly be a big flag. Uh but the other piece too is what happens if he starts talking?
So that is a major, major deal, but that's just one simple layer. The other piece, too, is Russia and China are knee-deep in Central America and South America. They've got. A ton of assets. They've got, in fact, China.
has a Silk Road project going on. Down there, they're in Cuba. And so you've got our two arch enemies. at our doorstep. And if they continue to get a stronghold like Maduro, Who is pro-Russia, pro-China?
You know, They could absolutely end up running that country and having a large military presence down there. And so we've got to act on that as well. And the other piece, you know, when you start talking about it. not just cartels, but you start talking about terrorist organizations. Iran has big links in Venezuela.
In fact, Some of the aircraft that I've been tracking tied to a sanctioned airline in Iran called May uh Mahan. Air. They actually used to fly quite a bit down to Venezuela. And If you start looking at their connections with this particular airline, they are tied heavily to Hezbollah.
So there has been over the last 12 years proof that Hezbollah is operating. down in Mexico as well as Venezuela and the region.
So There is just almost a trifecta going on in terms of what we're trying to accomplish because you got our enemy at our doorstep, but you also have terrorists that are operating and funding their organization through the cartels. through Mexico and Venezuela. It's basically a hornet's nest or a dragon's den, so to speak. Spotlight on. I mean, the whole southern hemisphere has basically turned to communism, Marxism, the socialism that's going on there.
You mentioned it, not only Venezuela, you go to Colombia, you go to Cuba, Mexico. I mean, they're all being run. And like you said, they're all being infiltrated by our enemies.
So if we don't do something, we're going to have them right at our doorstep.
So do you see like a hot war? Or, you know, many people are saying we're on the brink of World War III. What's your take on what's happening? Yeah, I don't think Venezuela is a World War III issue. I think it's going to be a flash in the pan.
It's a containment situation. And we're going to be jockeying into position to try to prevent. it from getting to an escalated scenario. As long as Russia doesn't start loading up military assets in Venezuela. and into Cuba, I think we're okay.
But the minute they start to do that. For example, Just a week or so ago. The United States turned around some of the ghost ships that were trying to bring oil into Venezuela. and they went and parked in Cuba. But after about three attempts of them trying to get to Venezuela, the United States let them through.
And the only reason for that. Is because I think Russia probably said, I'm getting ready to put in some frigates and we're going to escort these ships down to Venezuela. and to keep from having a direct confrontation with Russia. that we we basically let the oil through. Wow.
I feel that's fascinating, monkey, to think through all of this. It is much deeper than illicit drugs and drug cartels and drug boats going back and forth. I mean, that is a big issue, obviously. But you've mentioned in that explanation the three key players of Ezekiel 38. We've got Russia.
We've got Iran and we've got Turkey working in cahoots with that. We know that they have, in essence, an agreement that they're working together openly and behind the scenes.
So, in the last couple of minutes that we have here on air, before we move into our extended version, can you just kind of pull that together for us? What does this look like with Ezekiel 38?
Well, yeah, that's a back in 2017. There was a trilateral agreement between Russia. Iran and Turkey. And they've been working in cahoots this whole time. Russia continuously feeds Iran what they need to survive.
Iran is in a state of collapse. You look at the water issue that they have in Tehran. There's 12 million people there that are about to be kind of on the outs because if you don't have water, you're not going to live there.
So that is a major upheaval. And it actually ties into Jeremiah 49, which I think dovetails into Ezekiel 38, just given the situation.
So when we watch the 12-day war and all these other things start to come into play. That's a pre-stage for Ezekiel 38, I believe. I will tell you when I look at the flights that I'm tracking. On a daily basis, the amount of equipment and assets that are going into the Middle East right now is astronomical.
So that tells me one of two things are happening. One, we're either building up for phase two of what's about to come into play. Which I do believe that is tied to Elam, which is the southern side of Iran. Just uh it runs right up against the Persian Gulf. Or The United States is evacuating.
Illegals out of Gaza that are being put into play, probably in UAE or Qatar. And we're putting them on flights and bringing them out of the country. Because you have to remember, there's almost a million Gazans that were displaced. Out of Israel. If that is the case, then we're right back into 2.0 of what we did when it came to.
Afghanistan on a grander scale.
So, but yeah, I do see the stage is being set. For a multitude of things, Ezekiel 38 being one of them, Jeremiah 49 being the other, and then I think Isaiah 17 may even be coming kind of into the picture. With what's going on with Syria and Israel right now. Yeah, that makes total sense.
Well, folks, we're going to continue this conversation on our extended version on YouTube, Apple, one place you can check it out with Monkey. And before we let you go, Monkey, how can people get in touch with you? Yeah, actually, go over to Patreon. I've got Monkey Works is over on Patreon. That's our primary.
And then our biggest audience is actually on YouTube. And that is also Monkey Works. And it's spelled W-E-R-X. And then I've got a website, Monkeyworks. US.com.
It's uh, I post all of my blogs. And if you want to know things like what the CAA has been up to the last. 80 years I can I'll walk you through all kinds of blogs that tell you. Every little bit of what they've been up to. And so it's a pretty informative site.
There's also some cool. gear and garb over there as well.
Well, we're looking forward to continuing this conversation. And, folks, make sure you check out his website. It is fascinating. Hey, everyone, welcome back to the extended version of Understanding the Times. I'm Ken Michael, along with Pastor Josh Schwartz, and we would like to welcome back to the program Monkey.
Monkey, thanks for joining us. Hey, thanks for having me. This is exciting stuff to talk about.
So I'm glad you guys are. we're headed down this path because I think it people need to hear it. And they need to pay attention to what's going on around them.
So, this is going to be an interesting topic. Absolutely.
We need to get the truth out there. And sometimes people don't like to hear the truth, but that's what we're here about. We're watchmen on the wall, and we're going to tell it like we see it. Like you said earlier, we're going to call it balls and strikes.
So, I want to play a quick clip for you and get your comment. But check this out. Delta and American Airlines flying illegals from the Arizona processing centers into the U.S. On late-night flights, here's a picture. People actually took pictures of them.
Here's the little packets they're given: cell phone charger, cell phone, five thousand dollars. on a card, uh a little Visa card. All right. And this is a Sky Harbor airport. Dozens of illegals in there sleeping in the airport.
Look at these guys. I'm pretty sure these are from probably like Somalia kind of deal.
Okay. Do they look like they are nice guys, probably not the most friendly Folks in the world. This is what we're up against as they bring them into our country in the droves, okay? Lots and lots of 'em. Monkey, that was a video that you did about a year ago.
And for years and years through the Biden administration, after the withdrawal from Afghanistan, you watched flights after flight after flight bringing people into the United States.
So can you walk our listeners through that for a time? And then let's just dive into the reality of are we seeing a rising intifada in America? Oh, 100% we are. And I will tell you, when you look at the amount of flights over the years that I tracked. Swift Air was one of the biggest ones that they ended up going bankrupt, surprisingly.
I don't know how that is possible, unless you're doing business with the government, then that is very possible. But they, yeah, I tracked just on the back of the napkin, looking over just the course of 12 months. When they came into the U.S., based on the aircraft type, the amount of seats on those aircraft. Uh, it was around 1.2 million people that we brought across the border into our country, so these weren't people that. necessarily showed up at the border.
These were people we were using the NGOs to go down to Central America and pick them up and fly them. over the border, deep into the heart of our country. In the droves, and this went on for years. And so, when you want to talk about having a problem on our hands, you'll notice I pointed out the guys from Somalia. And if you look at the guys that were showing up at our border that were also being caught.
Most of them were fighting age males. Those are the ones that were being caught. There were probably tens of thousands that came across that we never, ever knew because they were networked with the cartels. They were using underground tunnels. And finding their way into our country, and they are here.
to do damage to our country. They're just waiting. They're what we would call sleeper cells. And they've come from multiple different nationalities, from Haitians to Somalians to Afghanis. To other Middle Easterners, people, you know, that are probably from Palestine and Gaza.
Um there are Known uh terrorist organizations that are working with the cartels that we're helping them through.
So, this is, it's been porous for a very long time, but when you start talking about this intifada, That is We're already seeing it. It's already in play. You look at the college campuses. And all of the the uprising that took place under the guise of pro-Palestinian thing, right, this humanitarian piece. But if you looked at what the students were calling it, they were actually calling it a student in Tifada.
And so the next step to that is violence.
So they're here. And they're in Abundance. That's the the crazy piece. I did a a sit rep. yesterday on my show.
And I will tell you. That one I started pulling the data on it. When you start looking at just the mosque alone that have that have Popped up here in the United States. We're at over 3,000 mosques. It's like 3,300.
That's probably a soft number. In the United States, you get into Texas. I think there's 330 mosques in the state of Texas.
So they are here and they are in abundance, and it's stealth jihad. It's what they do. You can look at other countries where they have. done the same thing. England, for example, they were completely overrun a decade ago.
And so, but that's what's on the horizon. You're absolutely right. Yeah.
Well, monkey, we're living it right now in Minneapolis. The fraud and corruption that they're finding out, they're finding that billions of dollars were not only fraudulently obtained and used for various reasons, but some of this and a lot of it actually went to El-Shabaab, the terrorist group. And they're finding that out now. There's a full-on investigation going. I hope they're brought to justice.
But the sad part is, is the state government here is trying to cover for them. In fact, the police chief and mayor came out and said, you know what, if ICE shows up and starts giving you a hard time and they're not wearing masks, you just contact us and we'll come and we'll intervene.
So now what you're seeing is they're pitting the law enforcement agencies against each other. And this didn't just happen overnight. I've told this story before. When I was in law enforcement, I was there for 30 years. This started in the 90s and early 2000s when we started bringing the Somali culture over.
And they were the only culture that didn't want to assimilate to American culture. Every other culture we brought over after the Vietnam War, the Cambodians, the Laotians, the Vietnamese, they all assimilated. They started their own businesses. The Latinos came from all over South America. They came here, they're family-oriented, they started their own business.
They assimilated, but not Islamists. They're not here to assimilate. Why don't you explain that to our audience? Oh, yeah, no, they certainly aren't. In fact, you can go back into the 60s and when the United States and our agencies decided they were going to start playing some games over in the Middle East.
At trying to change the way things were. You know, these folks don't have technology, they live in the Stone Age. Yeah, they're they're a little better now today. uh because they've gotten a little savvier But The reality is, we realize quickly we can't change the way they are, we can't make them westernized and like us. with the exception of very small pockets.
And those pockets really haven't accelerated throughout the Middle East. Things like, you know, if you go look at Qatar and some of the more westernized areas, UAE, they've done some things, Saudi here and there, but I mean, they still stone people to death.
Okay. And if you get into Iran, there's some pockets around Tehran that are a little more Western thinking in some cases. But I think we realized very quickly we can't do this. The other way to go is to start doing forced immigration. And we just started pushing them into all these other countries.
Thinking that maybe they would assimilate, but the reality is, we are the ones that are assimilating to them. You look at it if you if you I think that sounds like a crazy statement. Look at all of the idiots that show up at their rallies, yeah, and you know. You know, with everything from the pride stuff to, Uh just trying to, you know. Be a part of their thing.
I mean, I watch people on prayer mats and all kinds of stupid stuff, and I go, Do you realize? that in their country these they would absolutely chop your head off or they would stone you to death. Like this is not, they're not here to be your buddy. Right. That is the scary part that a lot of Americans don't realize exactly what we're up against.
Now, if I talk to my SF community buddies, Uh I've got one friend of mine that is a former Delta Force. And when you talk to him, you know, the words that come out of his mouth, and this is a guy that's been in the African theater for a while. Uh, he's he says Crusades 2.0. Wow, he talks about it, and he's been saying that for a decade.
So he sees where this is all heading. That's a scary thought when you start to think about that because When you look at this, this intifada that's taking shape and how the colleges are starting to embrace this, and they're uh there, you've got governments that are supporting it in, say, little Somalia up there in your state. Yeah.
The crazy thing is, our government, this is the scary part. Our government is behind most of it. It's not just the people that snuck across our border. You go look at what happened when Afghanistan and Kabul We pulled out of that area. We opened our gates.
We took C-17 flights. Back to back to back to back to the point that we brought 200,000 Afghanis into our country and put them in everybody's neighborhoods throughout suburbia. We gave them money. We gave them jobs. We gave them everything that they needed.
to live. And most of them have multiple families, or when I say multiple families, they have multiple family members.
So they're coming in five, six, seven deep.
Okay, it's not just a one-off person that helped our military, it's their families, their extended families. And then, on top of that, you've got people that were assets that are tied to our agencies, like the guy that just committed the crimes in DC. And that guy, the scary thing is on him, and I'm just going to pull up some data for you here. There was an ID card that was leaked by Lara Logan. That talks about, it actually shows all the data on him, which this is the crazy part.
He was part of the QSF, which is the Kandahar strike force. It had a rank of E5. It had his blood type. And that connected him to Afghan and U.S. armed forces.
And they were actually on the ID card, it said for questions called Firebase Gecko.
Now the interesting thing is If you know anything about Kandahar Strike Force, that was created by the CIA. It was Operated under Omega program and JSOC. And then it it It was used as a deniable anti-Taliban, anti-insurgent strike element. It's got the agency written all over it. And that's the guy that just killed two of our.
soldiers in Washington, D.C. And then you take another guy that just, I don't know if you saw the local news that I posted out there on. Uh in Fort Worth, DFW area. But there was Another Afghani that had military background that was making bomb threats. of in Fort Worth, that he was going to blow something up there.
So you think about the skill set that these guys are coming in with. I mean, you could talk to Probably 8 million Americans, and not a single one of them, unless they're formerly military, are going to know how to make. A clock. We'll call it that just so we don't flag too many things. But These guys, everybody that comes over here, they know how to make clocks, if you know what I'm saying.
It's absolutely crazy. But 200,000 of them. are here And they're here legally. That's the scary part. This isn't the guys that are hiding from us.
These are the folks that came over under SIVs, which is a special visa application. That allows them to come into our country, and I don't see us kicking anybody out. Yeah, he's absolutely right, Josh. And when you look at it, we were over in Europe, we saw it in September. They're at the brink of civil war over there.
You have groups now, especially in Ireland, former Army personnel that are arming up, ready to go in and take back their city. They're on the brink of civil war. And if we're not careful, we're heading down that exact same path. And Monkey's absolutely right. We've brought so many of these people in here, and trained, well-armed, and trained al-Qaeda operatives are here, and they know what to do.
They're planning, we're hearing they're planning massive, multiple attacks. Yeah, you're spot on there. And I think there's a word that some people have been throwing around recently that brings in some theology with it, especially in Islam. And it's that the idea of what they would call takiyah, where lying is permissible under three conditions: battle, race. reconciliation of people and then reconciliation of spouses.
And they're seeing all of this as a battle.
So Monkey, in your opinion, as those that have come over legally have been shipped in, are they maybe taking a vow of Takia where they're going to go ahead and lie about all these things until the time is right for them to rise up and take over? Oh yeah, there's no doubt in my mind. In fact, And it's not just the Islamists that are here. You've got gang members and cartels and a multitude of other terrorist organizations that are hidden in our country. that are also probably going to work.
in coordinated effort with them because they are all working together. Yeah, Maduro made a statement. That Biden actually had a conversation with him and told him to send his bad folks here.
So that tells you our government was knee-deep in all of this. It's going to be orchestrated. And when it happens, we shouldn't be surprised given. The only surprise is that who's behind it all? And that's our government.
That's the scary part. And we hear them getting illegals out, but most of the illegals that they're grabbing out of here are people from Mexico and from. you know, Central America, et cetera. The ones that they need to be getting out are the ones that are here legally through visas, and that is the Afghanis. and the Somalians and Uh and you know There's a multitude of them from the Middle East that are here that are not here to be our friends.
Not here to make a better life, they're here to. Transition America into their country. Yeah, you're absolutely right. And as I was preparing to talk to you, I read an article by Leo Holman, and he was talking about, in essence, the weak vetting process and potentially even the missteps between both administrations, the Biden administration and the Trump administration. And this is his final quote in a whole article, and I think it really puts things into perspective.
And he says, This: the ultimate goal. Is not a global Islamic caliphate. It's a one-world beast system run by globalist technocrats and powered by AI. At this point, Islam is valued by the globalists only to the extent that it can help usher in the beast system. What do you think about that?
He called it. That's uh you talk about throwing balls or calling balls and strikes. That's one thing I do really like about him, he seems to be one guy that's in the administration that is really doing his part. And the fact that he called that out. Just goes to show you that where his heart is and where his mind is.
And I love to see that because he sees it for what it is. And yes, it's it's Look, Islam is is they're going to create chaos and terror. You go back to, we talked the Abraham Accords and the reason. That Trump is pushing all of this peace. when you look at it from a big picture perspective.
Is because it ties back to the separation of Isaac and Ishmael, right? That's why it's called the Abraham Accords. And because as long as if you don't ever tie it back up at the hierarchy of it all, which is Abraham. You're not going to ever get these folks all singing on the same sheet of music. But Islam is absolutely, they will come here, they'll lie, they'll lie to your face.
That was one of the red flags that I talked about was the fact that. Trump is entertaining these folks in the White House. And these are folks that are super bad. For example, You look at the president of Syria. He is a known terrorist.
He was on our most wanted list. There was a, I think it was a $10 million bounty on his head. Yep. And Trump's talking about how great a guy he is. And I'm thinking, what are you doing?
But it didn't stop there. He also on September 27th, I tracked. One of the cuds flights, which is Mahan Air that is tied into Venezuela, Iran, it's tied to. All of the, in fact, it's a sanctioned airline. Not permitted to even be here.
But tied to Hezbollah and all of this stuff, that's how they move all of these things around. It's called ghost ships, so to speak. Not the ocean type, but the air type. And that's how Iran is able to move things around and avoid sanctions because they use these aircraft. When the aircraft is sanctioned in the aircraft databases, they show as NA.
They don't track them, they don't really. Um, allow you to see where they're going because they are sanctioned, so therefore they just NA them. And our agencies watch those flights. And so I tracked on September 27th. One of these Aircraft come into New York.
For the UN, and then I watched it fly later that day over to DC to meet with Trump.
So you wonder, okay, so you've got him meeting with the president of Syria who is a A known terrorist with a $10 million bounty. You've got the Iranian Quds flight coming in. that should not be even on US soil. Then, right after that, you have the Crown Prince of Saudi come in, which is, you know, that's all about brokering the piece because he is the head for Islam. And then shortly after that, you see him meeting with this new mayor of New York, talking about how great a guy is and how many things they actually see eye to eye on.
I'm seeing this trend that's happening in the White House that are just red flag after red flag that is very concerning to me.
Now, granted, I voted for Trump four times, but I will tell you. Like we said, we're gonna call balls and strikes. I'm gonna speak truth no matter what. I don't care who it's against. Who it's for.
I'm going to call it like I see it. And that to me is a major concern when we're watching. the a mass of Islamist fundamentalists here in our country. And the the the thousands of mosques standing up. We're being overrun and we're being infiltrated.
And most people don't even realize it. Yeah, I completely agree with that. In fact, what concerns me about some of the things that President Trump has said, he said, we're going to have a two-state solution. We need to have a two-state solution. I mean, he wants that.
Very concerning. And then when he came out with the statement of, we're finally going to have not just peace, eternal peace in the Middle East. I mean, Josh, are we ever going to have eternal peace in the Middle East? Not until Jesus comes back. Amen.
With that. Um We're not preppers. We're not planning for to hunker down for years if something happens, but How should people be prepared for this? Tell our listeners, what do we need to do to prepare for some of the things or how can they get involved to maybe stop some of this or stop the rise of Islam is what we're talking about. Yeah, look, at the end of the day, prayer is going to be the strongest thing that any of us can do.
It's not about picking up your pitchforks and taking to the streets. Uh, you know, Jesus was here for peace, and uh, well, when he comes back, it may not be the case. Because he's going to definitely wrong a lot of or right a long a lot of wrongs. But um You know Prayer is the only way that we really need to be focused on all of this because, you know. God tells us we can move mountains through prayer.
We need to lean in on God and let Him do the heavy lifting for us to go out and do the things. Yeah, sure. I mean, you make preparations for your family. for things that maybe short haul. long haul You're not going to be able to do anything to change any of this.
It's all going to go according to God's will. We need to be working on strengthening the kingdom, understanding the word, so that when you have to talk to somebody about what's going on, You can explain it and sound like you know what you're talking about, right? But the other thing, too. It's staying when you're strong in prayer and you understand the word, your discernment is going to be significantly higher. You're going to recognize things for what they are, and you're not going to be fooled.
The Bible tells us that even the elect will be fooled. Um that that that shows you that the devil is He he can fool everybody. And Islam is is part of his lot. and and they are going to lie to your face and they're going to tell you they're here for peace and safety All right. But we know that's not going to be the case.
And so Uh this is just something that I think. For our listeners, you just Get into your word, get into your Bible. Form those circles, build those communities. That's what I do. I've got over on Patreon, I've got a huge community of like-minded individuals, and we.
We really focus in on God's word all the time because It's just going to keep you educated on where we are as a nation, where we are as a world, and what's coming. You're absolutely right, Monkey. Thank you so much for that encouragement. And you're spot on. We must be diving into the Word of God so that we know that we're a people with hope and not a hopeless people, that we serve a God who is sovereign and in control, and His will is being accomplished as we speak.
And we are to be faithful vessels in the midst of that. It reminds me really, really simply what Peter writes in 2 Peter chapter 3. He says, Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, talking about how the world is going to be dissolved by fire, he says, What sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn? But according to his promise, we are waiting for a new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. Verse 14, therefore, beloved, And since you are waiting for these things, be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish and at peace.
We must be living faithful, godly lives, honoring Jesus and at peace with one another, proclaiming the gospel, because every single day that goes on is one less day that we have here. And we praise God for that, but we also get to work in sharing the gospel with people. Samunke, thank you so much for your time. Thank you for this conversation. I really hope to have another one in the near future.
