Nephilim Death Squad — "DIY Biochar: Clean Your Water, Heal Your Soil, Beat Glyphosate w/ Topher Gardner"

Podcast: Nephilim Death Squad
Hosts: Top Lobsta & Raven (David Lee Corbo)
Guest: Topher Gardner (Biochar Expert, Builder – topherhq.com)
Date: October 7, 2025

Overview

In this dynamic and freewheeling episode, Top Lobsta and Raven are joined by returning guest Topher Gardner, a biochar specialist and builder, for a deep-dive discussion on the power and promise of biochar. The episode explores biochar’s role in water purification, soil health, and combating the pervasive influence of glyphosate, a common agricultural chemical. This conversation bridges practical homesteading knowledge, biblical prophecy, social critique, and high-energy banter—infused with both skepticism and a search for hope.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. What Is Biochar? The Science & Superconductor Effects

• Definition & Process: Biochar is the "Lexus of carbon," made by burning biomass (wood, etc.) in a low-oxygen environment, resulting in a structured, highly porous carbon matrix. (05:10)
  • Difference from Charcoal: Not just standard charcoal—biochar's low oxygen process alters its magnetic properties and structure.
  • "Where biochar differs from charcoal is we cook that woody material...in a very, very low oxygen environment. That's what makes it special." — Topher (05:10)
• Superconductor & Water Structuring: Biochar is naturally abundant in graphene—a superconductor. When water flows over it, it becomes highly structured, improving conductivity and information transfer in living systems. (06:21)
  • Structured water in biology is linked to instant signaling (no latency), surpassing traditional nervous system models, e.g., explaining athletic "instinct." (07:57)

2. Glyphosate: The "Chemical of Convenience" Poisoning the World

• History & Spread: Glyphosate (e.g., Roundup) became ubiquitous post-1986 (the "glyphosate era"), devastating global soil and water health. (12:41)
  • "In the United States the epidemic of obesity is because people are starving." — Topher (13:00)
  • Causes leaky gut, mineral deficiency, and is linked to global health issues and obesity.
• Biochar as Remediator: Due to its charged, porous structure, biochar traps glyphosate in water and soil, acting as a powerful filter. (15:59)

3. Water, Soil, & the Diminishing Vitality of Nature

• "Juvenile Water" & Broken Hydrological Cycles: Modern rivers are "juvenile" (over-polluted, hyper-reactive), resulting in flash floods and ecological instability worldwide. (09:54)
• Worldwide Issue: Water pollution and soil degradation observed on every continent; nowhere is untouched.
• Personal Experience: Topher moved to the Ozarks for food resilience; witnessed ecosystem decline in South Florida, Costa Rica, Europe, the U.S. (21:02)

4. DIY Practicalities: How to Make and Use Biochar

• Home Production Simplified: Anyone can make biochar using a "smokeless fire pit" (available for ~$100–150 at retail).
  • “You can be outside with your family, enjoy a little pit fire...when there's a third left at the bottom, you just douse it with water—that will give you perfect biochar.” — Topher (48:11)
• Filtering Water & Soil: Add biochar to home gardens, rain catchments, and create simple in-line water filters.
• Topher’s Biochar: Agricultural-grade available at topherhq.com with consumer products launching soon. (18:32)

5. Problems with Modern Filtration & Consumer Products

• “Charcoal” Filters Today Are a Scam: Most filters (e.g., Brita) are "3 or 4% carbon," rest is plastic—introducing microplastics. (17:23)
  • "That's why my balls feel that way...filled with microplastics." — Raven (17:36)

6. Living with Systemic Poisoning: Practical & Spiritual Guidance

• Personal Agency: You can’t fix the whole world, but you can purify your bubble—grow food, filter your rainwater, build healthy soil. (46:15)
  • “You can only do what you can do. And you shouldn't worry about the [rest].” — Topher (46:15)
• Community Resilience: Move towards self-sufficiency, seasonal eating, nurturing local soils and water.

7. Climate Engineering & Soil Pollution

• Cloud Seeding & Weather Modification: Biochar is used in climate tech as "carbon black" in cloud-seeding and weather manipulation; paired with increased air travel and pollution, this accounts for “chemtrails” and environmental aluminum. (39:30–43:00)
  • “You can steer a system by just changing the pressure gradient, catalyzed by these very small materials that hold a charge.” — Topher (44:03)

8. Disaster Capitalism, Urban Decay & the Adversarial System

• Profit from Ruin: "Disaster capitalism" leverages hurricanes, fires, floods for land grabs and construction contracts, perpetuating social and environmental destruction. (97:06)
• Spiritual Manhattan Project: Modernity’s attacks on community and health (convenience, AI, social atomization) are interpreted as signs of “the little season”—an anti-human, anti-Christ era. (69:43)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On "Juvenile Water" and River Pollution:

  • “The Rhine river used to meander like every healthy real river did...now the hydrological cycle has been broken by all these little particulates.” — Topher (09:54)

• On Chemical Food Chains:

  • “Calories don't actually give us anything. The human population ... is starving [for nutrients].” — Topher (13:00)

• On Biochar’s Biblical Mystery:

  • “There's this layer of perfect biochar…on every continent at the same time… How is that possible?” — Topher (52:34)
  • “It says the Lord will return with centering heat and then everything is melted… Centering is a term … when they're making a magnet … you send a charge through it… It's caused by trauma, the electricity going through it…” — Topher (53:36 & 54:13)

• On the Spiritual Battle:

  • “The way the devil kills you is through convenience.” — Topher (69:55)

• On Agency & Fear:

  • “It’s a free will universe... Likes like: take care of your own shit. Go ahead and plant your own garden, purify your own water, pray, have fellowship with the people around you.” — Topher (83:57)
  • “Fear is this joy killer and … you’ve lived a life not worth living if you live in fear.” — Raven (86:32)

• On the Flow State & Inspiration:

  • “When you’re in the zone, you just find yourself performing perfectly ... you're not overthinking, you're not over-identified with performance. You are without boundaries; you're given genius.” — Topher (94:03)

• On Love vs. the Ledger:

  • “Love doesn’t profiteer. Love is in service, and there’s always energy in that.” — Topher (133:38)
