When AI robots start landing like superheroes, China rolls out combat-ready humanoids, and a surveillance screen at Skinwalker Ranch morphs into the words “I LIVING,” you know it’s getting weird. In this Slingshot Nation Live replay, I break down the rise of AI house robots and military humanoids, what happens when tech is wired to the cloud and allowed to learn from our lives, and why this all feels a lot less “cool future” and a lot more dystopian prophecy. From Black Friday chaos to boycotts, Stranger Things, Dark, and the spiritual cost of a world built on subscriptions and smart machines, we’re asking: what happens when the devices stop serving us and start serving something else?

Then we get into the clip from the Shawn Ryan Show where Brandon Fugal describes Eric Bard’s encounter at Skinwalker Ranch—the security system glitching, the screen melting, and the phrase “I LIVING” appearing in direct response to his verbal demand. I walk through why this fits the biblical category of principalities and second-heaven entities, not “friendly advanced intelligence,” and how it ties into this week’s talk about the Dark Window and the partial Schumann Resonance blackout. Did you feel off—tired, anxious, glitchy, or strangely bold—during that window? We talk about frequencies, CERN, portals, spiritual warfare, and why the supernatural worldview of the Bible explains more of this than any New Age timeline-shift language ever will.
