Are Flock cameras really about public safety, or are they laying the foundation for a surveillance state powered by AI? In this episode of Slingshot Nation Live, we investigate how Flock cameras, facial recognition, AI, drones, and emerging technologies like 6G could reshape privacy, policing, and personal freedom. We examine the promises behind these systems, the concerns surrounding mass data collection, and how rapidly advancing AI may change the relationship between citizens, corporations, and government. If you've ever wondered where today's surveillance technology is headed, and what it could mean for the future, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.Take Control of Your Money and claim $10 in US Stablecoin (USA₮)!

In Episode 542: Weaponization Of UAPs | From Rendlesham Forest to Artificial Intelligence we are joined by John Burroughs to talk about what he saw during his legendary 3-day encounter with UAPs in Rendlesham Forest in 1980. The Rendlesham Forest incident is possibly just as important or more so than Roswell. John came on to talk about what his experience was and also what he thinks the purpose of it was. We talk about how Project Blue Beam could play into the future of UAP sightings and collective consciousness. What does the government know and how do they plan on using that knowledge to their benefit against the people? What are they doing behind closed doors with pseudoscientific methods to create wormholes to affect time and space? We talk about it all on today’s show.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

What if your search for spiritual enlightenment opened the door to something far more terrifying than you ever imagined? Tony Merkel sits down with Charisse and her husband Marco as they share an extraordinary testimony of growing up in a family influenced by the occult before years of immersion in New Age beliefs led to a frightening battle with unseen spiritual forces. After exploring practices that promised healing and personal power, Charisse found herself facing disturbing supernatural encounters that pushed her to the brink. Marco reveals what it was like to witness the chaos firsthand as their home, marriage, and family came under relentless spiritual attack. Together, they discuss the generational influence of Freemasonry in Charisse's family, her decades immersed in Wicca, Reiki, and spirit guides, the reality of deliverance, and the life-changing encounter that brought her to Jesus Christ. This powerful testimony explores the realities of spiritual warfare while ultimately pointing to the hope, freedom, and restoration found in Christ.If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890📕 Pre-order Tony's Book: https://a.co/d/0bJS3SaVBecome a member for ad-free listening, extra shows, and exclusive access to our social media app: theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinThe Confessionals Social Network App:Apple Store: https://apple.co/3UxhPrhGoogle Play: https://bit.ly/43mk8kZThe Counter Series Available NOW:The Counter (YouTube): WATCH HEREThe Counter (Full Episode): WATCH HERETony's Recommended Reads: slingshotlibrary.comIf you want to learn about Jesus and what it means to be saved: Click HereMerkel Media Apparel: merkmerch.comSPONSORSGHOSTBED: GhostBed.com/tonyQUINCE: quince.com/tonyIVERMECTIN: twc.health/tonyVENICE AI: https://venice.ai/theconfessionalsRUMBLE WALLET: https://rumblewallet.onelink.me/bJsX/ConfessionalsCONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comEmail: [email protected] ADDRESS:Merkel Media6726 Morganton RdP.O.

What if one terrifying 911 call was only the beginning of a much larger mystery? Tony Merkel welcomes Rusty from Carolina Case Files to reveal the chilling investigation that thrust his team into the center of one of the internet's most unsettling paranormal stories. As their conversation unfolds, they uncover eerie witness accounts that point toward a hidden reality lurking in the forests of North Carolina, where credible eyewitnesses continue to report encounters that defy explanation. The discussion expands into Dogman sightings, translucent entities from military testimonies, and the biblical framework that may explain why these encounters are happening. Along the way, they wrestle with the dangers of chasing the supernatural and why discernment is essential for anyone seeking the truth. If these encounters are more than folklore, the greatest question may not be what these beings are, but what they reveal about the unseen spiritual battle unfolding around us.If you’re able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay’s GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890📕 Pre-order Tony's Book: https://a.co/d/0bJS3SaVBecome a member for ad-free listening, extra shows, and exclusive access to our social media app: theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinThe Confessionals Social Network App:Apple Store: https://apple.co/3UxhPrhGoogle Play: https://bit.ly/43mk8kZThe Counter Series Available NOW:The Counter (YouTube): WATCH HEREThe Counter (Full Episode): WATCH HERETony's Recommended Reads: slingshotlibrary.comIf you want to learn about Jesus and what it means to be saved: Click HereMerkel Media Apparel: merkmerch.comRusty Martin Sr.Website | YouTube SPONSORSGHOSTBED: GhostBed.com/tonyQUINCE: quince.com/tonyIVERMECTIN: twc.health/tonyVENICE AI: https://venice.ai/theconfessionalsRUMBLE WALLET: https://rumblewallet.onelink.me/bJsX/ConfessionalsCONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comEmail: [email protected] ADDRESS:Merkel Media6726 Morganton RdP.O.

The world feels like it is shaking, literally and figuratively.Across the United States and Europe, brutal heat waves are pushing temperatures into dangerous territory, straining power grids, overwhelming cities, and raising serious questions about what is happening to our planet. At the same time, Venezuela has been rocked by powerful earthquakes, with strange reports of lights in the sky leaving people wondering if these events are simply natural disasters — or signs of something deeper.On this episode of Slingshot Nation, we’re looking at the chaos from every angle.Is the sun the common denominator? Are solar storms, radiation, and changes in our atmosphere playing a bigger role than we’re being told? Or is there another possibility,  that manmade technology, weather manipulation, geoengineering, or hidden systems are helping drive the instability we’re seeing around the world?From record heat to earthquake lights, from official explanations to the theories people are afraid to say out loud, we’re asking the question everyone is thinking:Is this nature, is this the sun, or is something else turning up the pressure?▶️ Jae Woodward's video breakdown Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.
