Nephilim Death Squad – Episode 216: Programming a Patsy w/ Austin Picard (Sept 18, 2025)

Host: Top Lobsta (Top Lobsta Productions)
Co-host: David Lee Corbo (Raven)
Guest: Austin Picard (The Underclass Podcast)

Episode Overview

This episode dives into the theory and mechanics of "programming a patsy" within the context of mass shootings and political assassinations. Using high-profile recent events—specifically the assassination of Charlie Kirk—as well as historical examples, the hosts and guest examine the intersection of trauma-based mind control, conspiracy operations, culture war escalation, and mass psychological manipulation through the lens of projects like MKUltra, Monarch, and Operation Gladio. The conversation explores both the micro and macro scales: from individual mass shooters and their backgrounds, to collective programming and engineered polarization of society.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Show Opening & Announcements ([02:00])

• Raven and Top Lobsta set the frame for a “conspiratorial” episode, reminding Patreon supporters about exclusive access and teasing upcoming live event info and merchandise.
• Quick, comedic banter on their “Baneja Elohim” shirt—wordplay on “B’nai Elohim” (“sons of God”) and a pun involving Benihana’s and hibachi dining ([03:55]).

2. Introducing Austin Picard & the LIBOR Scandal ([04:26])

• Austin Picard plugs his projects — "The Underclass Podcast" and a recent appearance on “Tinfoil Hat.” He describes bringing up the under-reported LIBOR scandal connections to James Holmes (Aurora shooter) and Adam Lanza (Sandy Hook shooter), noting that both their fathers were due to testify about LIBOR, possibly linking mass shootings to high-finance coverups.
  Quote: “The idea that that is a coincidence is, is—I wasn't even aware of that.” - Raven ([06:51])

3. Programming a Patsy & the Psychology of Mass Shooters ([08:14])

• Austin introduces his research into the psychological and systemic conditioning of mass shooters, positing that many recent violent events are about inflaming the culture war and racial tensions—media always selects the most “emotionally arousing, violent false flags.”
• Discussion of the Charlotte train stabbing, where the suspect claimed to be under mind control and influenced by “man-made material” ([09:33]).
• Hosts note the similarity in presentation (e.g., excessive blood) between this stabbing and other high-profile attacks—suggesting narrative orchestration ([10:15]).
• Raven: "At any given moment they are cultivating and looking for the most emotional, heart-wrenching version to achieve whatever outcome..."
• Austin: "Through the over-emotional induced reaction you lose all ability of critical thinking… It is by design." ([11:14-11:51])

4. Charlie Kirk Assassination Fallout ([15:19])

• Charlie Kirk’s death: Multiple narratives swirl, including disbelief in his actual death (“it’s a squib”), and debate on whether Israel, or another actor, orchestrated his assassination.
• Massive online fallout: Doxxing, activists losing jobs, viral sob stories, and trolling highlight “reciprocity” in the online culture war.
• Top Lobsta, himself a victim of doxxing, comments: “That's the ground rules... I'm not doing it, but when I see it…this is the game you’re playing.” ([18:15])
• Austin frames this as a "modern strategy of tension"—akin to Operation Gladio—designed to destabilize the public and escalate societal conflict. Quote: "Project Operation Gladio just went underground. This is how you destabilize the domestic population." ([19:45])

5. Media, Mind Control & Trauma Programming ([21:44], [41:23])

• Austin provides a detailed breakdown of government mind control programs: Project Artichoke, MKUltra, Monarch—noting how trauma, SSRIs, and societal conditioning create fertile ground for mass manipulation.
• Reading directly from Project Artichoke docs: The CIA found they could trigger hypnosis over the phone with no prior programming for suggestible targets ([43:55]). Quote: "They can pass from a fully awake state to a deep H controlled state… via telephone, via some very subtle signal that cannot be detected by others..." - Austin ([44:19])
• Layers of hypnosis, triggers, and fracturing of the psyche (with explicit Manchurian Candidate references and the use of Oedipal trauma).
• Discussion: Is "demonic possession" functionally indistinct from advanced mind control?
• Collective trauma as a driver of mass reactivity: “Instead of opioids, the thing we’re losing grip and sliding towards is this massive reactivity... that’s got us to that point is trauma… we're all being traumatized on a mass scale.” - Raven ([41:24])

6. Culture War, Social Media, and Manufactured Consent ([29:57], [34:15])

• All hosts reflect on their own roles—comedy, engagement, “culture jamming.” Increasingly, former strategies for “getting the truth out” now just feed the same machine.
• Raven: “Turns out I kind of suck and don’t have a whole lot to contribute besides this thing I’ve been mad about.” ([30:04])
• Top Lobsta notes the (mis)use of edginess and irony: "Now you can't meaningfully misinterpret what I'm saying. I've just stepped away from it..." ([33:44])

7. Discussion of Demonic Possession vs. Mind Control ([40:59])

• Austin and Raven speculate that the end goal of these psychological programs is “government-funded demonic possession.”
• Repetition of mass trauma, conditioned disassociation, and the possibility that spiritual oppression, technological mind control, and societal pharmacopeia are all converging.

8. Individual Responsibility in an Engineered Civil War ([81:19], [146:18])

• Stark warnings against “falling into the trap” of fighting the engineered civil war.
• Austin: “The only way forward is to pursue individual sovereignty—not collectivist traps. That’s the only way you become a net positive.” ([157:10])
• Raven: “Every time they tell you they got a new enemy…look inside, burn some other piece of weakness off. ‘Cause even if it IS all these people, we're going somewhere dangerous and we're gonna need people that don't suck.” ([156:08])

9. “Programmed to Patsy,” Historical Gladio & Serial Killers ([51:37], [56:56])

• The term "programmed to patsy" coins the episode—referring to weaponized individuals set up to take the blame for orchestrated acts.
• Austin draws direct lines from the end of the serial killer era to the rise of mass shooters: “...right around the same time serial killers fall off the face of the earth statistically, we now get mass shooters to fill the void.” ([56:56])

10. Occult Connections, Schools, Monarch, and Child Trafficking ([58:44], [64:12], [164:50])

• In-depth recounting of embedded occult and trauma-based rituals within both mass shooting sites (Columbine, McMartin Preschool) and mind-control programs.
• Tunnel systems, bulldozing of schools, and testimony about pre-planned ritual abuse sites ([62:13]).
• Franklin Scandal, Monarch programming, recruiting and abusing children for elite blackmail operations—firsthand testimony cited ([164:50])
• Weaving the trans/gender movement and current political movements into long-term psychological subversion strategies.

11. Charlie Kirk Assassination Deep-Dive ([69:11], [110:45])

• Exploring every angle: Israel’s possible involvement, the PR spectacle around Kirk’s wife, Masonic symbolism, numerology, and theories about potential staged death.
• Kirk’s wife’s background gets scrutiny, as does the coordination of the official narrative and security apparatus.
• Oddities surrounding the shooter and the “trans/furry” angles; multiple layers of suspect signals and contradictory forensic reporting ([123:00]).

12. Advice for Listeners in a Culture of Psyops & Escalation ([145:18])

• References to the viral Sam Hyde “buy a gun” clip and practical advice for families facing the unpredictable consequences of a rapidly escalating social/psychological war.
• Emphasis: Resist collectivist programming, focus on protecting and improving yourself and your immediate family, and don’t play the game they’ve laid out.
  “I'm not going to fight your civil war.” - Raven ([34:15])

13. Personal Reflections: Hope, Resilience, and the Need for Male Leadership ([157:02])

• Discussion closes with calls for “burning off weakness,” improving oneself, and building resilient communities as the only real resistance to manipulation.
• Austin, despite the dark subject matter:
  "Remind yourself how beautiful your life truly is…stop focusing on all the darkness. You need to prioritize focusing on the light, at least to pull yourself out of that demoralization that I think is by design." ([177:43])

• Top Lobsta: "You're playing a blood game. That's where we are now. I didn't ask for this game—this is the game you're playing..." ([18:49])
