Episode Details

Join David Lee Corbo (The Raven) and Top Lobster on Nephilim Death Squad as Thomas the Paranoid American returns for one of the wildest episodes yet! Thomas, 15-year conspiracy & occult comic creator, ex-Disney animator, ex-military, and current Freemason, drops his viral theory: BUGS ARE DEMONS.

He traces the 14th-century Middle English origin of “bug” meaning disembodied spirit, hobgoblin, and ghost — not insect — then connects it to biblical Beelzebub (Lord of the Flies), plague locusts that sting like scorpions, worms that don’t burn, Exodus flies, and Mesopotamian scorpion-men from the Epic of Gilgamesh.Thomas announces live he is ready to renounce Freemasonry entirely and bend the knee to Christ as King. 

They break down Masonic boy bride rituals, Albert Pike, the controversial South American photo that triggers every Mason, and why low-level Masonry feels like Rotary Club networking while higher degrees hide darker truths.Plus: Bohemian Grove 2026 updates, general admission tickets still available first to Patreon members at TopLopsa.com, cursed Paranoid American merch (grab it at the Standard Coffee Shop Casino / NDS studio), Thomas’s new children’s chemtrails book “Connect the Dots” (Magic School Bus style with real research on Morgellons, nanotechnology, Draco star system & Space Preservation Act), eat-the-bugs WEF propaganda, parasites as spiritual conduits, pop culture insect demons in Men in Black (Edgar the Bug), Constantine (Vermin), The Tingler, Alien, Naked Lunch, Spawn’s Violator, Nightmare Before Christmas Oogie Boogie, Kafka’s Metamorphosis, and more.Thomas also performs at Bohemian Grove every year and is the official Donut convincer. Full episode packed with etymology, scripture, Hopi Ant People, Zoroastrian fly demon Nasu, devil’s coach horse beetle, and why killing (or eating) bugs carries spiritual weight.
