Countdown 2 Eternity

Voiceover: Welcome once again to Countdown to Eternity with Pastors James Kaddis and Tom Hughes, a weekly radio ministry from Calvary Chapel Signal Hill. Together, Tom and James examine current events and connect what's going on in our world to Bible prophecy. Let's lean in and listen.

James Kaddis: Well hello, my dear brothers and sisters. I want to welcome you to another episode of Countdown to Eternity. I'm going to tell you this one is going to be a doozy because we're going to be talking about Russia. We're going to be talking about Europe. We're going to be talking about Canada.

Tom Hughes: Canada?

James Kaddis: We have a lot to talk about.

Tom Hughes: Let's start here because this is going to go into Canada. All of this is going to tie together: the KGB and Russia. In fact, that documentary I told you about that we did, KGB's Most Wanted, this all ties together. You're speaking in Santa Barbara with us, and one of the people from that is going to be there. We're going to announce it pretty soon.

Now with that, Scott Wiener—you know who he is—the congressman taking Pelosi's seat. Did you see that? He's done everything he can in his power to make child molestation legal. He's an evil man. What he's done is passed this—he's the person behind this law getting passed in California that is the most wicked and evil and vile law ever passed in the land.

James Kaddis: He's absolutely thoroughly disgusting. He's a filthy pig. So, what's that have to do with socialism or communism, whatever? We know there are slight differences on them. Check this out. He goes to an anti-Israel protest, right? He gets kicked out of it. Did you hear about that?

He got kicked out of the anti-Israel protest. Now, why did he get kicked out? Here's the thing. He also believes that Israel committed genocide in Gaza. Why did he get kicked out of an anti-Israel protest? One thing is he's Jewish. We've said this all along. It doesn't matter what kind of Jew you are when they come for you; they're coming for all Jews.

But he gets kicked out of the anti-Israel protest. He's a wicked person. He's the one that supported transgenderism, these evil laws, everything that they stand for. Israel's committed genocide, he said this. Not all Jews should be killed. Hence, boom, get out of here.

What is really going on? He is one of the very useful idiots to bring about this whole Marxist teaching. This stuff, like the entire LGBTQ community, is totally used. They're useful idiots. So once you are used, once you've accomplished what they need, they don't need you anymore.

They got you to bring about these wicked laws here in California, wicked laws in the nation, all these wicked things they want. They brought them about. Now they don't have any need for you because we're watching a rise to socialism.

Now with that, the last election in New York, these people that Mamdani supported, you saw that, right? These crazy radical socialists, AOC, Democratic Socialist Party, DSA. This lady gets elected. Looks like she's going to be the nominee for the Democratic nominee. She's so bad that James Carville said this person's bad.

James Kaddis: You know that's bad when someone that evil says, "Oh look, look at how evil this person is." That's so crazy.

Tom Hughes: She's a socialist. So what's happened is Mamdani's lifted up all of these people. People voted for them. These people are radical, probably Marxists is probably what they really are, not just regular socialists. This is what's going on in America. We are watching the takeover of the United States of America. There are useful idiots that come from all of these special interest groups.

And here we are. They're doing exactly what they want. So now you have Islam as this hammer that's being used against America and they use the useful idiots. What kind of person is LGBTQ that actually thinks it's a good idea to go along with Islam? Who would do such a thing?

James Kaddis: You just have to be brainwashed. Islam at the apex, at the very core of Islam, is deception. We know that their own Quran says "Allahu khayru al-makireen," which basically means Allah is the chief of deceivers.

Tom Hughes: I have a theory. So why would LGBTQ support Islam? Why would they do that? Because there's no logic to it at all. It doesn't make any sense. Why would they support Hamas? Because all you got to do is look and go, "Okay, they're going to kill me because I'm gay," right?

So why would they do it? Because I have a theory. LGBTQ has shoved tolerance down your throat and down my throat forever. You must be tolerant, right? So suddenly they find themselves in a position, "Well wait a minute, we have to be tolerant of Hamas."

It's subconsciously or consciously they have no choice. Take that to Romans Chapter 1. In Romans Chapter 1, God says men will lie with men, women will lie with women and do that which is unnatural. God says, "I will give them over." The third time He says He'll give them over to a debased or reprobate mind, meaning not just a mind that's given over to total immorality, but a mind that can't make a decision in their own best interests.

In other words, they will hate the other side so much, they will make a decision against them that will destroy themselves. God has given them over. They came in on this magic carpet of tolerance and guess what? Now they have themselves a problem. Whether they can admit it consciously or subconsciously, that's where they are. America appears to me to have been given over when you start looking at what's going on in the cities. But hence, we must fight against the lies with the truth. So that's why we do these programs because we're not going to give up. We're not going to roll over and say just take over.

James Kaddis: Amen. And it's just pure evil. There are people that are generally on the left that are beginning to see the writing on the wall, which is why they're changing. Did you see this recent rant that Nick Fuentes went on recently? He's an evil guy. He's super evil. But he recently went on a rant where he basically defended Israel.

He said there's no way Israel killed Charlie Kirk. He said Tyler Robinson did it. Stop blaming Israel. Israel had nothing to do with it and you guys are wrong for blaming Israel for everything.

Tom Hughes: Nick Fuentes? What? He's one of the most anti-Semitic voices that's out there.

James Kaddis: Two times in the last three days he has gone on a "Let's defend Israel" rant.

Tom Hughes: In the world of—what's Tucker Carlson going to do about that?

James Kaddis: Bro, there's some kind of a game being played. Something is happening where this leftist side of the world is beginning to observe something turn and they're scared of it.

Tom Hughes: That's interesting because we take a guy like Bill Maher. I watch Bill Maher. He's an atheist. He admits he's an atheist or an agnostic, whatever he says now, but I've watched him. He's been turning and it's been over the Israel issue. Another lady, Jillian Michaels—I don't know if you know who she is—she used to have the show The Biggest Loser.

James Kaddis: Very pro-Israel lately.

Tom Hughes: Extremely. She's also Jewish and she's a lesbian. She was left. She leaned absolute left. She admits it and she's totally dissociating herself from the left, totally. And it's been her wake-up call has been watching what's going on with Israel. Bill Maher, watching what's going on with Israel. This whole thing with Nick Fuentes is really weird because he's anti-Semitic and has been.

James Kaddis: It's shocking what he's been doing. As a matter of fact, if you want, I can play a clip of this. I can find this for you right now. It will blow your mind. Now, we'll try to bleep the language.

Nick Fuentes: Charlie Kirk was killed by Tyler Robinson. He was. Tyler Robinson's transgender boyfriend sold him out. His parents turned him in. His DNA was found at the scene of the crime. His grandparents' gun was found in the bush discarded after the killing. Tyler Robinson was the killer. He confessed.

And what was Tyler Robinson? He was part of the radical left. He was in left-wing Discord servers. He organized with left-wing students. He was one of these people that would have been in favor of Zohran Mamdani. He's a radical left, trans liberation, socialist progressive, hicklib. That's what he was.

He killed Charlie Kirk. And what immediately happened after Charlie Kirk died is all of a sudden there was a mandate from an angry nation which was unequivocally, "Destroy the radical left." Everybody in America was horrified, horrified by the violence. Everybody. Everybody other than the most extreme elements on the left. Young people and old people, black people and white people, men and women, boys and girls, gay people.

Everybody was horrified that Charlie Kirk was gunned down, gushing blood out of his neck at some campus college event. And the mandate was unequivocal, which is: find the culprit, destroy them. And that's exactly what the government was going to do.

But then what happened? What happened right after that is all of a sudden everybody started to muddy the waters and blame it on Israel. Suddenly there was this narrative that people were wearing maroon and there were these Egyptian planes chasing Charlie Kirk and there were a bunch of Israelis there. And what about the angle from behind him? Didn't Charlie Kirk just get—didn't he just crash out on Bill Ackman?

Would you like to know where this narrative originated? The narrative that Charlie Kirk was killed by Israel originated in The Grayzone with Max Blumenthal. Max Blumenthal is a Jew. Max Blumenthal used to work for the SPLC, The Huffington Post, Slate, the most far-left publications that are out there.

And you think this guy criticizes Israel? He was out there doing hit pieces against David Irving, the World War II historian that happens to be a Holocaust revisionist, for the SPLC. He's a radical leftist. He's a socialist. And Max Blumenthal is the one who initially promulgated the false narrative in The Grayzone that Charlie Kirk might have been killed by Israel.

Max Blumenthal made up the story that Bill Ackman crashed out on Charlie Kirk. He made up the story that Netanyahu tried to pay Charlie Kirk $200 million to stop criticizing Israel. Neither of those things were true. This $200 million contribution was never corroborated by any other source. But that was the story that everybody took, Candace Owens included, and it was off to the races.

James Kaddis: You believe that, bro? And that's the second video, by the way, that I've heard Nick Fuentes defending Israel in the last few days.

Tom Hughes: And just by what he said, he also took a shot at Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, that Carrie Progen-Boller and all these other things that are total lies. Erica Kirk, all of it. Just right on down the list what they did to her. You look at this and go—James, it's the truth. Satan is the father of lies and he's utilizing these savage animals to continue to promulgate these lies.

James Kaddis: Okay, I'm going to give you another lie since we're talking about lies. We're going to talk about KGB. It's all I think it all relates, believe it or not.

Tom Hughes: Let's go here first because I want to hear your thoughts on the KGB. I mean, from everything I've read, the KGB was the money and the influence behind getting the term Palestinian into mainstream to create this idea with Yasser Arafat.

James Kaddis: Yeah, so that is true. We do know that the KGB was involved with Yasser Arafat to bring that in. And as a matter of fact, Yasser Arafat was an Egyptian national, a gay Egyptian national, by the way. That's a whole other story. But what I really want to focus on is the KGB.

Soviet intelligence understood how to manufacture what everybody refers to as a revolutionary movement, okay? They are the best at weaponizing language and they are clearly gifted when it comes to taking regional conflicts and turning them into these global ideological causes. Think about this. Arafat was born in Cairo. He was born to a Palestinian family, fair enough if you want to look at it that way. Try to define a Palestinian family for me, it's ridiculous.

But he later became this massive figurehead of the PLO and that was presented by Russia. What is the name of the guy who was the former head of Romanian intelligence? Do you remember that guy? Pacepa, I believe is Ian. Was it Ian? I can't remember. Anyway, okay, that guy defected to the West. You remember the videos of him talking about Arafat?

He defects to the West and he ends up telling this story which, by the way, is corroborated. It's easy to be able to tell. He claimed that Arafat was trained and armed and funded—trained, armed, and funded—by the former Soviet Union. I think that matters because the modern propaganda that we see right now, the whole architecture of that propaganda is an important issue.

It centers around Israel. It wasn't simply organic outrage, like all of a sudden everybody woke up overnight and said, "I hate Israel." A massive portion of it, a great deal of it was cultivated through Cold War information warfare. This is Cold War stuff. The KGB understood that if Israel could be recast from a small nation surrounded by enemies into a colonial oppressor, then terrorism could be repackaged as resistance.

Tom Hughes: Ion Pacepa.

James Kaddis: Thank you. Ion Pacepa. They believed that if they could do that then they could take terrorism, repackage it as resistance, and anti-Semitism could be dressed up—ready for this, brace yourself—as anti-imperialism. And the whole world could be conditioned to view Israel's very existence as the problem. That started with the KGB. Well, it started with Satan. So what we're seeing in Canada right now may be a recreation of that same element.

Tom Hughes: Well so this is interesting. Let's go to this whole anti-imperialism. I just was on a podcast with Bill Federer. He brought up the whole connection with KGB anti-Semitism being formed as anti-imperialism and so the Jews became this target.

And then you look at the Russian pogroms and you look at what's happening now. If we go back in the Bible, you go back to the time of the Roman rule, the Caesars at the Book of Revelation. Let's go there because you have your book, The Last Book, Book of Revelation. You have the seven churches. What was the main issue was that when you have Smyrna and Philadelphia, they would not give their allegiance to Caesar. Smyrna was the persecuted church. They were persecuted and they were small if I remember correctly. Their allegiance was to Jesus, not the imperialism of Rome and that was the issue.

James Kaddis: Well we were talking about Soviet propaganda. And I'll just say this, as much as we hate it and can't stand the evil represented by it, there's kind of a genius associated with the propaganda. It wasn't merely about supporting Arafat. They used Arafat as a literal puppet. It was literally teaching the world to describe Israel's enemies in very morally accepted language while describing Israel's survival as oppressive.

Think about how genius you have to be to be able to create that. Almost like you're satanically inspired.

Tom Hughes: Totally. When you follow that story and you think somebody actually was able to think this thing out and they did. Friends, it's bizarre when you follow this. You think how could a person have actually thought all of these different steps that are necessary? Yet they did. So when you say satanically inspired, you go, "You get there." Satan's been doing this for years.

James Kaddis: All right, so let's go to Canada. Check this out. Canada's introducing it's called—has introduced, I guess, called the C-9 Bill. And I think it passed, the C-9 Bill and it's the Combating Hate Act. A proposed amendment to Canada's Criminal Code that creates new criminal offenses for hate propaganda, hate crimes, and obstructing or intimidating people accessing religious cultural or senior facilities supposedly under the guise of the rise of anti-Semitism.

But that's not true because Islam in Canada's doing pretty much anything they want. And yet we watch anti-Semitism in Canada just at an all-time high, increasing. Okay, now we've also watched what's been going on over in the UK, right? So over in the UK a person who has the Bible gets arrested under the same kind of thought process. This is hate speech.

Tom Hughes: The prayer around abortion clinics, all of that.

James Kaddis: C-9 did pass. It becomes law July 19th.

Tom Hughes: It's called the Combating Hate Act.

James Kaddis: So this gets even more interesting. So in the UK you get arrested, right? But you can rape 250,000 women that have been abducted, girls, even little girls, and that's okay. If you say anything against that, you're a hater. Okay, so Canada's going this way. So check this out. This is what it comes down to.

They say there's a protection for preaching. So the government maintains that normal scriptural reading, preaching and religious teaching communicated in good faith will not meet the standard of hate. Who defines what normal is, right? This is the problem. Also Canadian courts define hatred narrowly as intense, extreme vilification or detestation that dehumanizes an identifiable group. You dehumanize them.

How do you—well, all you got to do is just say read Romans Chapter 1 or many other parts of the Bible. "Oh, you've dehumanized them, therefore—" So you look at this and go, "Oh, they're trying to say they're here to protect." No they are not. And the Jew and the Christian are going to be put into a very bad position with this because now it's becoming official. And I guarantee you, just what we watch going over in the UK and what we've already seen in Canada, and our viewers in Canada will tell us, this is the direction it's already going in Canada. Islam gets protected. I mean, we hear about Islamophobia. I'm Islamophobic, James. You're Islamophobic because I'm kind of concerned there's one group of people with a certain ideology, not religion, that want to blow me up if I speak against them.

James Kaddis: Listen to the summary of this bill, bro. I'm going to just read this to you because this is staggering. This is wild and every Christian should pay attention to this. It says that it amends the Criminal Code by repealing the Attorney General's consent requirement for hate propaganda prosecutions, creating an offense for publicly displaying certain hate or terrorism symbols, creating a hate crime offense or criminalizing intimidation or obstruction connected to access to places used for religious worship by identifiable groups.

That part right there should concern Christians the most. That should concern us the most because Canada's own Justice Department says that this Bill C-9 repeals the specific good-faith religious opinion. That's a defense for certain hate crime propaganda. What they're doing is, and this is really scary, they're using a real crisis, rising anti-Semitism, which is real, it's a real crisis, to create a speech control mechanism. No joke, this is a speech control mechanism that may not stay aimed at anti-Semitism. It won't stay aimed at anti-Semitism. That's the bridge, by the way, to the UK and eventually America.

Tom Hughes: I'm going to throw something else at you. So I'm going to be speaking in a foreign country, not Canada, not in the Americas, not in this continent. A foreign country, I'm not going to mention the name because I don't want to get arrested while I'm there. So I was told just the other day that I can't talk about Israel and I can't talk about Islam.

James Kaddis: Don't go. Bro, I talk about Israel and I talk about Islam.

Tom Hughes: So then I go online and start doing some search. So you can't have an Israeli flag. And it falls under the same thing with Canada. You want to know why? Because they don't want to stir up hate.

James Kaddis: Make a remote appearance. Don't go. It's not worth it.

Tom Hughes: Isn't that weird, James? It's evil. So when you see this in Canada and what you just read with the summary, you go, "That's the direction this is going to go." And we know Israel is the target. So this flag right here is a very offensive flag. That city behind you, apart from the gold dome, is a very offensive city. Bro, no matter how you cut it, we're in the last days. I mean, we are. There's just no way around it.

James Kaddis: We talked about so many different things and we can see everything closing in. But we got to remember not to be afraid to look up, our redemption draws near. We need to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Just a reminder on that, that Psalm 122:6, that is God's prayer request. When somebody says, "What would God want?" God is the one who tells us, "Hey, I have a prayer request for you. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem while everybody else is hating on them."
