Nephilim Death Squad

Episode: Age of Deceit, Tucker, Zionism & The Great Deception w/ Canary Cry Podcast

Date: December 4, 2025
Hosts: David Lee Corbo (Raven), TopLobsta
Guests: Gans & Basil (Canary Cry Radio)

Overview

In this engaging and eclectic episode, David Lee Corbo and the Nephilim Death Squad are joined by Gans and Basil of Canary Cry Radio to explore the current explosion of conspiratorial and spiritual topics—their overlap, dangers, and redemptive opportunities for truth-seekers. The group dives deep into the biblical frameworks for understanding modern phenomena, shares war stories from years of Christian podcasting, and debates the challenges and rewards of talking unconventional theology in today's polarized world. Topics range widely: the viral nature of “Age of Deceit,” the mainstreaming of fringe ideas, the pitfalls of “Christian” influencers, the Israel-Zionism debate, archetypes in prophecy, spiritual warfare, and, of course, the looming specter of Alien Disclosure.

1. Meet the Guests: Canary Cry Radio Origins

(03:15 – 08:35)

• Gans shares the origin of their ministry and viral film:
  • Started FaceLikeTheSun in 2011; "Age of Deceit," YouTube documentary on fallen angels & NWO, went semi-viral.
  • Met Basil while working tech in a large church: “We’d walk into the same room, not talk to each other, do our business, and then go away … It wasn’t until Bible study we found out we had similar interests.” (03:56, Gans)
• Podcast Beginnings:
  • Launched Canary Cry Radio in 2012. Transitioned to News Talk in 2016. Survived multiple YouTube bans.
  • “My favorite was we got put in timeout for cyberbullying Bill Gates…Wasn’t even for medical misinformation.” (05:28, Basil)

2. Fringe Christianity Goes Mainstream

(06:35 – 12:20)

• Changing landscape of “conspiracy” topics:
  • “I was the big conspiracy theorist in my friend group…because I was telling everybody Facebook is watching you. Now it’s mainstream.” (05:53, Basil)
  • “Biblical prophecy scholars, … now they’re going on Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens.” (07:01, Basil)
  • “We started ‘Nephilim Death Squad’ thinking we were edgy. A few months later, Tucker’s talking Nephilim with Roseanne Barr.” (10:42, David)
• Reflections on the scene:
  • “I had this notion we’d enter a community of ‘schizo content creators’—then realized, oh, we’re ALL schizo.” (11:19, David)

3. The Power & Peril of “Conspirituality”

(12:20 – 17:42)

• Spirituality catalyzed by conspiratorial thinking:
  • “So many obvious, concrete connections between biblical prophecy and the events happening right around us. Nobody can deny it. You don’t even have to be a Christ follower.” (13:13, Basil)
  • “We get messages: ‘I was an atheist/agnostic, but you guys are onto something.’ People come to Christ through these topics.” (14:13, Basil)
• Misfit Christianity:
  • Hosts discuss church backgrounds, disconnects with 501c3 organizations, and the value (and difficulty) of “institutional church.”
  • “The biggest problem Christians have today is balancing established traditions with the reality that it’s still a creation of man and it’s going to go bad 100% of the time.” (19:25, Basil)

4. Authenticity Versus the Christian “Influencer” Class

(34:09 – 43:30)

• The Danger of Celebrity Christians:
  • “If you build your relationship with Christ on [a public figure]—when the foundation is torn out, where are you left?” (43:24, Basil)
  • Examples: Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes—“the message people get from them isn’t building on the rock, but on sand.” (42:01–43:30, Basil)
• Faith and the Perils of Idolatry:
  • “Are they pointing you to Christ or standing next to a straw man?” (49:08, David)
  • “Nick Fuentes tells people not to read the Bible, to depend entirely on the Church Fathers. That’s exactly backwards.” (50:18, David)

5. The Great (and Near) Deception

(51:24 – 53:11)

• The spiritual inoculation against deception:
  • “True relationship with Christ is the inoculation for the great deception…Without Christ, there’s no getting past it.” (52:25, Basil)
  • “Conspiracy leads to spirituality, and spirituality—if you’re honest—always leads you to Jesus.” (paraphrased, 32:49, David)

6. Zionism, Israel, and Divided Allegiances

(73:49 – 95:42)

• The challenge of spiritual discernment in geopolitics:
  • Hosts voice frustration over Christian Zionism, pornography, the “false binary” choice between defending Israel vs. recognizing evil.
  • “Supporting Israel was always the default…But the friction is on purpose. Christ doesn’t tell us to avoid uncomfortable issues.” (75:02, Basil)
  • “If you don’t shift your target to principalities and powers behind everything—you’ll try to fix the issue in an earthly manner…and that always leads to terrible things.” (92:22, Gans)
  • Ephesians 6:12 and recurring archetypes in prophecy: “Nothing new under the sun—every time we think prophecy is being fulfilled, it might just be another cycle.” (Finalized by both Gans and Basil)

7. Archetypal Conspiracies and Prophetic Patterns

(61:38 – 71:01)

• On prophecy cycles and archetypes:
  • “Prophecy works in archetypes. There’s nothing new under the sun.” (61:35, Gans)
  • “Are we closer to the End? Or will this all blow over, repeat in 200 years with better tech?” (72:55, Co-host)
  • “Endurance comes from following the faith Christ gives us, not what we generate ourselves.” (78:31, Basil)

8. Spiritual Warfare, Fifth Generation Warfare, & the Manufactured Christian Voting Bloc

(81:11 – 87:17)

• On spiritual vs political battle:
  • “The world wants you to think DNA or political movements are the enemy. But defeating those does NOT defeat the true, cosmic rebellion at hand.” (95:01, Gans & Basil)
  • “If you haven’t studied the ‘ops’ that created modern America, start there: Episode 153, ‘Jesus versus the Spiritual Industrial Complex’ with Dr. Future.” (83:01, Basil)

9. Alien Disclosure, AI, and the Interdimensional Threat

(97:13 – 113:38)

• Trump & the coming “disclosure”:
  • “Trump’s hinted at declassifying extraterrestrial info—could set the stage for a tech/AI revelation rather than ‘alien’ disclosure.” (99:08, Gans)
  • “All signs point toward interdimensional, not interstellar, beings being the gateway to the most elaborate, convincing deception the devil’s ever done.” (105:52, Basil)
  • “For Christians, there’s nothing to disclose! Interdimensionality is our worldview—it’s just getting painted with sciencey words.” (105:52, Basil)

• Discerning the Great Deception: Only intimate knowledge of Christ inoculates against compelling counterfeits, whether political, technological, or supernatural.
• Endure and Stay Joyful: Humor and camaraderie are God-given tools for navigating an often dark and absurd world—laughter is strength, not sin.
• We Are All in This Together: Even fringe podcasts play a role in someone’s journey to the truth; we are all “vessels,” never the destination.
• All Roads Lead to a Battle Beyond the World: Whether the topic is Zionism, New Age Christianity, or aliens, the battle is spiritual—Ephesians 6:12.
