Satanic Ritual Abuse: Long-Term Damage

What if the fight against human trafficking isn’t just physical, but deeply spiritual, woven into culture, power, and unseen forces?

Tony sits down with Joseph Charafi, a Las Vegas filmmaker and founder of Stop the Traffic Foundation, to expose the harsh reality behind one of America’s largest trafficking hubs. What began as inspiration from Sound of Freedom quickly turned into a full-scale investigation into child exploitation, systemic corruption, and the hidden infrastructure enabling it in Vegas. Joey shares disturbing accounts of survivors of satanic ritual abuse, underground networks, and the psychological grip that pulls victims back into captivity even after rescue. The conversation also explores how culture, pornography, OnlyFans, and weakened family structures are feeding the problem at scale. Through it all, the discussion points to a deeper battle, one that requires discernment, courage, and a return to Christ if there’s any hope of pushing back the darkness.

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!
