What if the realities of war, media manipulation, and ancient cosmology all linked together in a complex web of global intrigue? This episode with special guest Michael Hichborn, founder of the Lepanto Institute and the breaker of the Cindy McCain idol story, explores these connections in a thought-provoking conversation. We unveil the weaponization of war, scrutinize the misinformation rampant in today's media, and ponder the spiritual implications of the controversial gift given to Pope Francis. With a deep dive into ancient texts and the potential existence of dragons, the mysteries of the past become a gateway for understanding our present.Boldly questioning the status quo, we draw parallels between the Bhagavad Gita and Oppenheimer's haunting quote, "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds." The impact of technology on our lives, especially as it intertwines with idol worship, is put under the microscope. Together with Michael, we analyze the rising tide of wickedness throughout the world. Uncover how technology, once seen as a boon, may be aiding the proliferation of sin and leading to a culture of idolatry on an unprecedented scale.To conclude this riveting episode, we reflect on the symbolic discussions, cultural influences, and an assault against Michael himself. We draw potential links between mythical creatures, ancient cultures, and our modern beliefs. More than just a trip down memory lane, we attempt to understand how these myths have shaped our society's narrative. We invite you to continue this journey with us. Prepare to question, to learn, and to see the world through a new lens.*******************************************************https://www.avoidingbabylon.comLocals Community:  https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comStore:  https://avoiding-babylon.sellfy.store/RSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssSpiritusTV:  https://spiritustv.com/@avoidingbabylonRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-1626455Odysee:  https://odysee.com/@AvoidingBabylonBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched! Start for FREE Support the showCheck out our new store!
