In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, Jacob responds to the recent debate between Dave Smith and Douglas Murray on the Joe Rogan Experience, using it as a springboard to explore the deeper issues at play: narrative control, revisionist history, blowback, and the Christian response to war. Jacob unpacks why labeling alternative historical perspectives as "conspiracy theories" is often a power move to shut down dissent, not a defense of truth. Drawing from Scripture, he highlights examples where those in power—from David and Saul to the Sanhedrin and Herod—manipulated narratives to protect themselves. He then connects these biblical patterns to modern history, pointing to the USS Maine, the Iraq War, and the way states manufacture consent for war through deception.

Jacob also explores how blowback works—not only in America’s foreign policy but in Israel's handling of Gaza and Hamas. He breaks down the roots of Hamas’s rise to power, Israel’s role in preserving the group’s political dominance, and how these decisions contributed to the horrors of October 7th. Throughout the episode, he calls out the dangers of collectivism, especially in labeling all Palestinians as terrorists, and explains why biblical justice rejects collective guilt. From the weaponization of antisemitism to the idolization of "experts," this episode challenges listeners to seek the truth, love their enemies, and walk the narrow road of peace and prophetic witness in a time of tribalism and propaganda.
