      <title>The Anthropological Case for Original Monotheism - BLK SHP</title>
      <link>https://drudge.com/news/294072/anthropological-case-original</link>
      <wordzilla:destination>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp7qMJcknzw</wordzilla:destination>
      <description>Every civilization that has ever existed worshipped something. Not most of them &quot; all of them. And for a long time the academic world told us that meant religion evolved upward &quot; that primitive people invented spirits, those spirits became gods, and monotheism came last as the most sophisticated development.</description>
      <wordzilla:extended>That story is wrong.
&lt;p&gt; And the evidence that contradicts it has been sitting in the anthropological and archaeological record for over a century.
&lt;p&gt;In this video we follow the actual evidence &quot; from the oldest human structure ever discovered, to the most isolated cultures on earth, to the linguistic roots of languages that predate recorded history &quot; and show that the world's most ancient religious expressions don't point toward primitive animism groping upward.

      <description>Skydog Sanctuary, the nation's largest voice for wild horse and burro protection, today called for an immediate suspension of the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Wild Horse &amp; Burro Sale Authority program following an investigation published today by The New York Times. The report confirmed that the federal program is actively funneling federally protected wild horses and burros directly into commercial slaughter pipelines.</description>

      <description>Aug 18, 2026&lt;p&gt;This morning, NATO has deployed large aircraft forces around Putin's Kaliningrad region next to the Polish border in what appears to be a sudden and urgent show-of-force. We are currently monitoring ongoing developments. &lt;p&gt;In the meantime, NATO has also deployed several aircraft toward Northern Norway as it's believed that Russian submarines are on the move out of Murmansk for some unknown reason. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Moscow came under the largest drone attack that it's experienced in the last two years over the past 24 hours, with more than 600 UAVs targeted the capital as explosions rang out across the area. &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Dubai has come under a missile attack from Iran as warnings were sent out to civilians to seek shelter, which marks the first Iranian attack on Dubai in Months.</description>

      <title>Do Not Say His Name!</title>

      <description>Aug 16, 2026 &lt;p&gt;I want to talk about The Antichrist Who Shall Not Be Named. &lt;p&gt;And by that I mean channels such as mine who talk about the person who lines up with the biblical Antichrist are in my opinion being suppressed. I say that because despite repeated attempts to promote my videos, I keep getting the message that these are election advertising. &lt;p&gt;And I've been getting this message for over 5 years. This despite the fact that my videos are about Bible prophecy and the person who matches the biblical descriptions for the Antichrist described in those prophecies is not up for election anytime soon.</description>
      <wordzilla:extended>So, in this video, I'm not going to say the name of the person who lines up with the biblical descriptions for the Antichrist. I'm also not even going to show the picture of this person, but I'm going to very briefly summarize how the Bible actually describes the Antichrist. 
&lt;p&gt;And from those descriptions, we should be able to visualize in our minds exactly who matches that on the world scene today.</wordzilla:extended>
