Demon encounter sends FBI agent FLEEING to church



Glenn Beck interviews former undercover FBI agent Scott Payne about the harrowing experience that sent him running to Jesus.

Retired undercover FBI agent Scott Payne spent much of his career infiltrating the most extreme, nefarious groups in the history of America. From the Outlaws Motorcycle Club, a notorious white supremacist gang with a deep history of illegal activities, to the KKK, Payne has seen things most of us couldn’t dream of.

However, there is one incident from his youth that he says was far more terrifying than being held at gunpoint or watching cultists sever a goat’s head as an undercover cop.

In his interview with Glenn Beck, Payne shared the story that sent him literally running to church.

While Payne “grew up in a Christian home,” where “both of [his] grandfathers were pastors,” he strayed from the faith and got involved in “witchcraft” following the unexpected divorce of his parents.

“It [started] kind of innocent and stupid, but I ended up just going into full-blown Satan worshiping — you know, wanting to sign a contract in blood” and “[watching] every horror movie from A to Z,” he says. “I was in a real dark place.”

One night, that darkness culminated in the manifestation of an actual demon.

Payne, who was in high school at the time, was at a party in his friend’s basement. He began talking in his “demon voices” and “acting out a scene” from a horror movie — a joke he coined to get a negative reaction out of others. While he may have been playing around, Satan’s forces were not.

There were “no psychedelics” involved that could have caused him to hallucinate the image that suddenly appeared before his eyes. In the midst of acting out a skit of a “satanic possession,” Payne saw a demon appear before him.

“What I saw was all red, like a watery image, and it was a demon looking at me smiling with this crooked finger and nails and looking at me and giving me the ‘come here’ [sign],” he recounts. “I screamed probably the highest I've ever screamed ... I was as white as a sheet; I was panting, pouring sweat.”

His friend’s immediate response was perhaps even more haunting. Having previously warned him about the darkness he was meddling in, he looked directly into Payne’s eyes and said, “I told you, didn’t I?” as if he’d seen the same demonic vision.

The traumatic experience was enough for Payne to march himself directly to church that very night.

“I walked to Edwards Road Baptist Church in Greenville, South Carolina, and I think I sat through every service,” he tells Glenn. “That was it for the demonic stuff for me.”

Payne’s terrifying encounter with a demon in his youth was a turning point, driving him to embrace an unshakeable faith in Christ. Ironically, it was only the first of many encounters with evil he would face — not as a wayward teen but as an FBI agent infiltrating heinous groups. Strengthened by his faith, Payne endured the darkness of these missions, carrying the burden of confronting humanity’s worst. To hear his gripping story, watch the full interview above.

Data Shows White Supremacists Are Not The Most Likely Mass Murderers

Democrats are lying to Americans about the most likely motivations for mass murderers and the prevalence of guns in violent crime.

Seth Rogen claims 'tens of thousands of white supremacists' were 'pissed off' by his new 'Santa Inc.' series. Well, critics hate his 'televised lump of coal' too.



Outspoken, pot-smokin' actor Seth Rogen has been on a roll of late, so to speak.

Besides making headlines this week for smoking "a ton of weed" before attending a televised Adele concert, Rogen got pummeled as a "champagne socialist" late last month after downplaying the brazen crime happening in Los Angeles — just like a good leftist does.

And now, Rogen apparently is seeing "white supremacists" — lots of them. "Tens of thousands" of the pesky buggers, in fact.

Say what?

See, Rogen's new "Santa Inc." animated series is out — he and comedian Sarah Silverman lend their voices to it — and it seems Rogen now has white supremacists on the brain:

We really pissed off tens of thousands of white supremacists with our new show #SantaInc which is now available on HBOMAX! (Please read the responses to this tweet for confirmation)

"We really pissed off tens of thousands of white supremacists with our new show #SantaInc which is now available on HBOMAX!" Rogen tweeted Thursday, adding "(Please read the responses to this tweet for confirmation)."

One might wonder — is Seth projecting or deflecting?

As in, does he figure that shining a spotlight on make-believe white supremacists will take the focus off the fact that the make-believe series he's in — full of decidedly adult themes (just in time for Christmas) — is getting pretty bad reviews?

'Televised lump of coal'

The headline of Variety's review accused "Santa Inc." of "misguided raunchiness." Reviewer Daniel D'Addario added that it's "dour and heavy, a televised lump of coal."

"When the show displays a visual wit or a loopy joy with wordplay, it makes it feel all the more like a waste of energy that it, elsewhere, depicts Mrs. Claus dancing on a candy-cane stripper pole," D'Addario adds. "That doesn’t say anything, really; it just suggests a readiness to provoke."

'Lowest rated TV series ever'

Not to be outdone, the Cult MTL review headline says "Santa Inc." is the "lowest rated TV series ever."

That'll put a dent in anybody's joint.

"Almost all of the show’s user reviews on IMDb are 1 out of 10, and, while most are very harsh, are overall very entertaining to read," the review adds. "Ranging from 'A Pile Of S**t' to 'Possibly the worst show ever made' to 'Cancelled my HBO Max' — it’s possible that, as one review points out, the only positive to be taken away is that all the extremely low reviews are a "sign that people aren’t idiots.'"

'Proudly crude and immature'

The Hollywood Reporter was a little kinder with its verdict, saying "Santa Inc." is "proudly crude and immature without wholly abandoning the holiday spirit." However, it adds that "often that immaturity comes at the expense of Santa Inc. ever being nearly as subversive as it thinks it is, but I’m not sure anybody involved here is likely to take my wish that the series were a bit smarter and maybe a hair more refined seriously."

How did folks react to Rogen's 'white supremacists' claim?

As you might expect, Twitter users took Rogen to task for calling out "white supremacists" instead of just taking the proverbial "L" like a man:

  • "Have you considered the audience rating isn't based on white supremacy, and that maybe~ it's actually just not that good?" one user asked.
  • "Maybe it’s just s**t," another commenter posed. "Why isn’t that an option?"
  • "I love how all critics can just be shoved aside by calling people Nazis," another user noticed. "What a convienent shield for your creative decline."
  • "Dude, you cannot just define 'white supremacists' as 'people that don't like my sh**ty movie,'" another commenter said. "People are tired of: 'Christmas bad!' 'America bad!' 'White people bad!' Get some new material."

Rep. Cori Bush says white supremacists 'can shoot at us' if Kyle Rittenhouse is found not guilty — just like in Ferguson. Ferguson police chief says that never happened.



Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) tweeted Monday that white supremacists will run rampant and shoot at people if Kyle Rittenhouse is found not guilty and said that such things took place in Ferguson, Missouri, following the 2014 police shooting of Michael Brown Jr.

Rittenhouse is facing charges of murder in the shooting death of Kenosha, Wisconsin, rioters in 2020.

What are the details?

In her tweet, Bush said that white supremacists hid behind a hill and fired on Ferguson, Missouri, protesters following the 2014 shooting.

She wrote, "When we marched in Ferguson, white supremacists would hide behind a hill near where Michael Brown Jr. was murdered and shoot at us. They never faced consequences. If Kyle Rittenhouse gets acquitted, it tells them that even 7 years later they still can get away with it."

Activist Ohun Ashe corroborated Bush's claims.

Ashe tweeted, "This is FACTS! I vividly remember hiding under porches in Canfield as shots were fired at us. No one came to help us. We would come from under porches using cars as shields in between gun shots to make it out," tweeted Ashe.

What else is there to know about this?

Her remarks spurred on a frenzy of comments — many of them accusing her of flat-out lying.

On Monday, Ferguson Police Chief Frank McCall Jr. said that he had no knowledge of any such incidents taking place, the Webster County Citizen reported.

"Not that I'm aware of," he said.

The Citizen reported that the only similar documented incident took place in March 2015 when two police officers on security duty outside of the Ferguson police headquarters were shot, which prompted protesters to flee. Authorities arrested a black suspect in connection to the incident, who was later convicted of the shooting.

A spokesperson for the Bush campaign on Monday night attempted to defuse the situation by issuing a statement supporting her accusations of white supremacists shooting at protesters and said, "While on the frontlines of the Ferguson Uprising, Congresswoman Bush and other activists were shot at by white supremacists vigilantes. The question we need to ask is why white supremacists feel empowered to open-carry rifles, incite violence, and put black lives at risk across our country."
