Speaker 0: Describes the cutting off of heads during Operation Stone: a lieutenant colonel there, two people had their heads cut off and put on stakes and stuck in the middle of the field. Speaker 1: Describes a brutal act against a woman: he went over there and ripped her clothes off and took a knife and cut from her vagina all the way up, well, just about up to her breast and pulled her organs out completely out of her cavity and threw them out. And then he stopped and knelt over and commenced to peel every bit of skin off her body and left her there as a sign for something or other. And there were Speaker 2: Describes a child-killing incident: two little boys playing on a dike. One sergeant just took his M16 and shot one boy off the dike. The other boy tried to run. When he was almost out of sight, this other guy, Spec Four, shot this other little boy off the dike. And the little boy was, like, lying on the ground kicking. So he shot him again to make sure he's dead. Speaker 3: Notes that the people are aware of what American soldiers do to them, so they hide the young girls. Found one hiding in a bomb shelter in sort of the basement of her house. She was taken out and raped by six or seven people in front of her family, in front of most of the villagers. This isn’t just one instance. This is just the first one that I could remember. Speaker 4: Describes a game-like brutality and a system of trophies: It got to be like a game. The object was to see who could kill the most people. Different ways to prove how many people you killed included cutting off ears. If you brought back someone’s ears, pretty likely you had to kill them to get them. Then people would, you know, whoever had the most ears, they would get the most beers, and you trade your ears for beers. Speaker 5: Recounts another atrocity in which civilians were targeted: As I was walking over to him, I turned and I looked in the area. I looked to where the VCS were, supposed VCS. And two men were leading a young girl, approximately 19 years old, very pretty, out of a hooch. She had no clothes on, so I assumed she’d been raped, was pretty SOP. And she was thrown onto the pile of the 19 women and children, and five men around the circle opened up on full automatic with her M16s. And that was into that.

In The Dharma Jews, Mustafa Turan writes that the founder of Wahhabism, Abdul Wahhab Ibrahim al Shamari, is a descendant of Dharma from Turkey. Wahhab’s grandfather Suleiman was actually named Shulman from the Turkish community of Bursa; after being expelled for practicing sorcery in Damascus, he fled to Egypt and fathered Wahhab. This claim is echoed in The Origins of the Saudi Wahhabis by Rifat Salim Kabar. It appears that much of the Saudi family has Jewish ancestry. According to the Wahhabi movement, the truth and roots by Abdul Wahhab Ibrahim al Shamari, Ibrahim Saud descends from Mordecai bin Ibrahim bin Mushi, a Jew from Basra. Abdul Wahab himself claims that in 1943, then Saudi ambassador Abdullah bin Ebrahim al Mufaddel paid 35,000 jinni to forge a family tree connecting them to the prophet Muhammad. These claims are not verified. But considering the controversial role Wahhabism plays in Islam, along with intel documents released from the Department of Defense, a report in 2002 shows that the Iraqi government was aware of the Wahhabist activity to undermine Islam.

Iraqi soldiers committed atrocities during Desert Storm, including pulling out fingernails and using electric shock. The story of babies being left to die after their incubators were taken was a hoax. The Gulf War was sold to the public by portraying Saddam Hussein as another Hitler. The war led to the deaths of many Iraqis, including children and the elderly, both during the conflict and due to sanctions. The propaganda surrounding the war, including fake claims about Saddam's weapons program, had lasting consequences, such as the presence of US troops in Saudi Arabia and the rise of Osama Bin Laden.

Various genocides and atrocities throughout history were not mistakes, but rather deliberate actions. The planning and execution of these acts were not due to incompetence or lack of knowledge, but rather occurred in plain sight. Governments, organizations, and individuals played their roles in perpetuating these crimes. The control grid was established by bankers, laws shielded contractors, and dissenters were silenced. The population was terrorized, isolated, and dehumanized. It is important to hold those responsible accountable and not let them escape justice.

After World War II, American General Eisenhower mistreated German prisoners, leading to the deaths of thousands from starvation, neglect, and abuse. The prisoners were denied proper food, shelter, and medical care, with some dying from thirst and disease. Guards even shot prisoners for fun and prevented civilians from helping. Despite the abundance of food in American supply depots, prisoners were starved while excess food was burned. The International Red Cross tried to intervene, but their efforts were blocked by American officers. Eisenhower's cruel treatment of German prisoners resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands, far surpassing the casualties of the war itself.

Numerous horrifying acts of violence were witnessed, including individuals being shot in the head, babies being mutilated, and genitals and heads being severed. The cruelty displayed was senseless, with no justification for the atrocities committed. Shockingly, even after death, some were shot in the head multiple times, long after all blood had ceased. Disturbingly, women of all ages, from children to the elderly, were subjected to rape, resulting in broken bones due to forced entry. These distressing accounts have been confirmed.

The speaker delivers a stark account of a grave moral failure in British history: for decades, children across the United Kingdom, some as young as four, were groomed, trafficked, raped, beaten, tortured, drugged, impregnated, criminalized, murdered, and psychologically destroyed by organized groups. These were not isolated incidents or expressions of sexual gratification; they were sustained campaigns of exploitation against terrified, vulnerable children who were systematically trapped. Children were degraded, humiliated, and controlled through violence, threats, drugs, alcohol, and terror. They were forced to fight to carry weapons, sell drugs, and commit murder, with some made to dig their own graves. Extreme abuses are described, including petrol poured over victims and set on fire, scriptures from the Koran read during gang rapes, young children placed inside microwaves, ovens, and freezers in attempts to murder them, ouija boards used to call spirits, and animals killed in sexual acts against children. Some were passed from rapist to rapist, and not all survived; survivors faced suicide, substance abuse, or murder. The abuse extended beyond sexual exploitation, reflecting a pursuit of power and domination and the systematic destruction of a child’s sense of self. The speaker emphasizes that, years later, professionals pressured survivors to take medication or risk losing custody of their children, and victims were told they were too damaged to care for their own kids. They were removed from families, placed into the care system, and trafficked, with rapists invited into the lives and custody of the next generation. Children born from these crimes were forced into contact with their mothers’ rapists by social workers and the family courts. The professionals who should have protected them did not, and some still do not. The inquiry is exposing the scale of institutional failure: warning signs, reports, patterns, and evidence ignored or destroyed; victims dismissed as troubled, promiscuous, or consenting; children in care raped by staff and sold to gangs; parents threatened with fines or arrests for attempting to safeguard their children. The speaker notes that whistleblowers were targeted and silenced, and politics played a role. Political parties sacrificed children for votes, and leaders hesitated to confront abuse due to discomfort or concerns about appearing racist or Islamophobic. The inquiry will follow evidence into institutions, systems, cultures of silence, and places where truth has been buried, with no race, religion, profession, or agency exempt from scrutiny. Survivors are acknowledged: they were children, not to blame but failed by the system. The true scale of what happened and continues to happen is described as too large for the inquiry to fully resolve quickly; many victims may never receive justice, but the inquiry aims to be ambitious in pursuing truth. The speaker thanks MP Rupert Loh for establishing the inquiry andextends gratitude to the participants, survivors, and the team for their bravery and resilience in confronting this evil crime.

The transcript presents an investigative-style alternation between eyewitness testimonies and narrative framing, asserting that Ukraine operates secret torture prisons run by the SBU (Ukrainian security service) where dissidents are beaten, waterboarded, electrocuted, subjected to gas-lit forms of torture, raped, and often murdered. It frames this as a systemic, state-sponsored program that predates the 2022 invasion and intensified with the Donbas conflict, accusing Western NGOs of collusion and portraying Ukraine as a totalitarian regime suppressing opposition. Key claims and testimonies include: - Mehdi Firvanovic, an engineer from Kharkov, describes becoming politically engaged after the Maidan and the Odessa trade union massacre, joining the Russian underground resistance in Kharkov. He was arrested by the SBU in August 2017 and sentenced to twelve years, later released in a prisoner exchange. He recounts elaborate torture in SBU facilities and details the treatment of a cellmate, Zverev, a 1955-born professional from the Ministry of Emergency Situations, who endured brutal beatings, water dousing, and “swallow technique” confinement. Zverev allegedly described being beaten with sticks, truncheons, and rubber hoses, having his body bruised, and facing death sentences read aloud and executions simulated with gunfire near the head. Mehdi also describes a method in which prisoners are bound, taped to a door, a helmet placed on, and noise cranked to 100–120 decibels to induce unconsciousness or death. - The narrative alleges that court testimony is the only admissible record of abuse and that torture occurring outside of court is not recorded. It asserts the existence of a deliberate collusion between the Ukrainian SBU and Western NGOs, claiming that Human Rights Watch representatives (including a Lithuanian named Vikentas Ladikis/Ladikis) were used by the SBU to interrogate prisoners, and that testimonies were transmitted through lawyers and prison mail. Mehdi claims to have alerted HRW to the collusion, and that Ladikis was removed about a month later. - The Mariupol center is highlighted as the most elaborate torture hub, with accounts from Olga Silevskoye, a former Mariupol resistance leader, who describes detentions at a gypsy settlement, the library at the Mariupol Airport, and SBU basements, where torture included suffocation, waterboarding, electric shocks, and a hostile environment overseen by Azov Battalion personnel. She recounts being held for 120 days, enduring electric shocks, and witnessing a rack, bloodstains, and a room with a stockpile of torture indicators. She describes “libraries” as covert torture sites, with victims coerced into implicating militia members or voters who supported the referendum. - Father Fiophan, an Orthodox priest, testifies to his arrest in 2015 and over a month of torture at Mariupol, including interrogations, electric shocks, spiritual trauma, and suffocation. - A survivor named Speaker 3 describes an interrogation regime at a temporary SBU facility, where he was forced to confront questions about drugs, subjected to electric shocks, batons, suffocation, and water torture, with a method involving placing a heavy bench to press the legs. - Another Donbas veteran, Alexander Matushin, explains prisoner exchanges that included civilians and soldiers and recounts a case of a girl who was gang-raped, and later assaulted with various objects when men were no longer able to rape her. - Russian accounts describe a broader pattern: civilians, Saint George ribbon wearers, and those with Russian contacts were targeted for torture, and torture chambers were found in liberated settlements; officials used informants to accuse individuals of supporting the referendum or having ties to Russia, leading to imprisonment and exploitation as a means to suppress dissent. - The 2022 conflict is said to have intensified the system, with claims of castration in some cases and the transfer of detainees to concentration camps in central or western Ukraine, intensifying cruel treatment and dehumanization. - The narrative concludes with a broad indictment: the testimonies illustrate a pattern of war crimes, political repression, and a regime that, in the view of the speakers, warrants Western scrutiny and raises concerns over foreign support for Ukraine. The call to action asks viewers to like and repost to raise awareness and “expose the truth” about Ukraine. Throughout, the speakers emphasize personal experience, firsthand testimony, and the alleged pervasiveness of secret detention facilities across multiple Ukrainian cities, including Mariupol, Kharkov, Kramatorsk, Pokrovsk, and others, with torture described in graphic detail.

The key takeaway about the Immaculate Constellation document is that the US military and intelligence community possess a vast amount of high-resolution visual information, including still and video images, that has not been disclosed to the public. This goes beyond the unclear photos previously shared. Estimates suggest there could be hundreds to thousands of these visuals. Concerns have been raised about revealing sources of this information, but some visuals are simply taken from helicopters using standard cameras, which shouldn't compromise any secret technology. It's unreasonable to withhold such evidence, especially when it involves photographing unidentified objects off the coast of Kuwait.

Sexual abuse, including rape, was used as an interrogation technique in US detention centers. The CIA employed tactics like coerced sexual acts, electric shocks, and humiliation to break down detainees. Female personnel would strip or perform inappropriate dances during interrogations, while one woman even wiped menstrual blood on a male detainee. Female detainees were also raped in front of men. These revelations show that the sexual abuse at Abu Ghraib was not an isolated incident. Threats to detainees' lives and their families were made, taking advantage of the negative perception of the US military. Sleep deprivation was another method used, lasting from days to months, with tactics like frequent cell changes, cold water, bright lights, and starvation.

The transcript presents a compilation of eyewitness testimonies and reported documents asserting that German prisoners of war (POWs) in American and French camps after World War II suffered lethal conditions, starvation, exposure, disease, and violent treatment. The speakers consistently describe systemic neglect, punitive policies, and instances of murder or near-murder, arguing that the death toll was high and that authorities at various levels were complicit or negligent. Key witness: Martin Breck - Breck, drafted in 1944, guard and interpreter at a POW camp near Andernach on the Rhine in 1945. - About 50,000 prisoners (men and women in separate enclosure) with no shelter, little clothing, and inadequate latrines; many slept in mud, suffered from exposure, dysentery, and starvation. - He observed prisoners eating grass and weeds in a tin can of soup; medical care was withheld despite protests to officers who claimed higher-up strict orders to ration severely. - He witnessed a captain firing a pistol for target practice at civilian women in the distance, implying cold-blooded brutality and moral contempt. - He notes propaganda from Stars and Stripes that glamorized German camps, allegedly facilitating cruelty by likeness to enemy propaganda. - Breck describes prisoners’ zombie-like states, attempts to escape toward the Rhine, and postwar brutality when transferring prisoners to French labor camps, including beating and killing of staggered prisoners. - He recounts a moment of human connection: a German woman feeding prisoners in a graveyard area, which Breck witnessed before the end of the war, influencing his later philosophical/rel religious interests. - After VE Day, Breck depicts continued brutality, famine, and rapes among German civilians, and the lack of Red Cross aid at camps. - He argues that Allied retaliation and punitive measures mirrored enemy atrocities and advocated speaking out to influence policy and oppose dehumanizing propaganda. Other American eyewitnesses and accounts - Corporal Daniel McConnell: Suffered PTSD from serving at Heilbronn; describes Baker Number 4 as a hospital tent with no equipment, where dying prisoners were gathered for transport, and mass burials by bulldozer were common. - Major General Richard Steinbach (then colonel): Administered camps near Heilbronn; testified that conditions were terrible, with prisoners underweight, ill, and starving; argued Morgenthau Plan policies and Roosevelt’s approval caused starvation and idleness; he ordered remedial action by securing rations and tents, though he was reassigned before conditions improved. - General Withers Alexander Burris (a sixth army commander): Found Heilbronn conditions similarly dire; corroborated Steinbach. - Lieutenant Colonel Henry W. Allard: Describes Austrian camps as having only rations provided, with lacking supplies; remarks that POW camps’ living standards compared poorly to other camps. - Colonel James B. Mason and Colonel Charles H. Beasley: Observed late-April 1945 conditions along the Rhine — freezing weather, 100,000 men underfed and exhausted, many dying from hunger, dysentery, and exposure; noted near collapse of the prisoners’ condition. - Captain Ben H. Jackson: Noted the stench and encampment conditions, with severe hunger and disease. - Medical and auxiliary observations by German and French observers: Doctors and French aid workers described moribund POWs, with hospital tents crowded and lacking supplies. A Jewish intelligence lieutenant at Bad Kreuznach questioned why German prisoners were half-starved in Allied cages. - Dr. Joseph Kirsch (French volunteer): Observed moribund German prisoners moved by American ambulances to hospitals with minimal care; hospital roles appeared as morgues rather than care centers. - Charles Pradervan (ICRC delegate) and the ICRC reports (1945–1947): Documented severe undernourishment, illness, and malnutrition in French and Austrian camps; called for increased rations, clothing, and medical supplies; described the situation as “more than alarming.” - Le Monde and Le Figaro correspondents: Noted horrific conditions in French camps, including skeleton-like prisoners, typhus, tuberculosis, and mass deaths; reported incidents of random shootings and beatings, sometimes linked to attempts to escape or as punitive measures. - Ernest Kramer and other German POWs: Confirmed the existence of inhumane holding pens in American camps; described guards’ brutality, lack of food, and poor treatment even after the war’s end. French camps and American–French transition - Reports describe French camps where 900–1,000 calories per day were provided, with tens of thousands of prisoners malnourished; as camps were transferred to French authorities, conditions sometimes improved when humanitarian approaches were implemented (as in Dietersheim under Captain Julian, who increased rations and provided shelter and clothing with external aid from German authorities and the ICRC). - Captain Julian’s improvements reportedly reduced the death rate by more than half by August 1945; his humanitarian approach contrasted with the lethal policies observed elsewhere. - The testimony includes allegations that American policies explicitly aimed to exterminate or starve prisoners in some camps, and that food was sometimes burned or blocked from local civilians as part of punitive measures. Counterpoint and framing - Some witnesses argued that German camps were not treated this way by the Nazis, pointing to the Red Cross inspections and harsher consequences for abuse in German camps, contrasting with Allied practices postwar. - The compilation also references postwar debates among historians, including criticisms of James Back’s Other Losses; yet the testimonies emphasize a pattern of lethal conditions in Western Allied POW camps after the war. Overall, the transcript assembles a broad spectrum of testimonies and contemporaneous reports alleging systemic starvation, exposure, disease, and violent treatment of German POWs by American and French forces after World War II, including specific camp-by-camp observations, individual incidents of murder or brutal treatment, and calls for accountability and humanitarian reform.

About ten days after 9/11, the speaker describes going through the Pentagon and seeing Secretary Rumsfeld. A general then pulls him aside and says they must talk briefly. The general says, “we’ve made the decision. We’re going to war with Iraq.” When the speaker asks, “Why?” the general replies, “I guess they don’t know what else to do.” The speaker asks if they found information connecting Saddam to Al Qaeda. The response is, “No. There’s nothing new that way.” The general explains they had “made the decision to go to war with Iraq,” and that it seems, as the speaker reflects, “we don’t know what to do about terrorists, but we got a good military and we can take down governments.” A few weeks later, the speaker returns to see the general amid bombing campaigns in Afghanistan and inquires again, “We still going to war with Iraq?” The answer is presented as worse than prior: the speaker says the general tells him, “I just got this down from upstairs, meeting the secretary of defense office today.” He describes a memo that outlines “how we're gonna take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off Iran.” The speaker asks if the memo is classified, and the general confirms, “yes, sir.” He adds, “Don’t show it to” (the transcript ends there). Key elements include the asserted decision to invade Iraq without evidence of a direct link to Al Qaeda, the perception that the administration chose military action because other options were unclear, and the claim of a broader plan to “take out seven countries in five years” beginning with Iraq and extending through Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran, with the memo described as classified. The account ties the Iraq invasion decision to a larger strategic agenda and emphasizes a chain of communication from the secretary of defense’s office to field-level comprehension, all within the context of ongoing Afghanistan bombing.

Epstein Cover-Up, Ghislaine Maxwell & Israel's Role w/ CIA Whistleblower John Kiriakou | PBD Podcast
Guests: John Kiriakou
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Patrick Bet-David interviews John Kiriakou, a former CIA officer known for being the first to publicly expose the CIA's waterboarding practices. Kiriakou shares his extensive background in the CIA, where he served for 15 years, traveled to 72 countries, and felt he was serving the American people. He recounts a memorable experience of being in the Oval Office during a crisis meeting shortly after Iraq invaded Kuwait, highlighting the unpredictable nature of his job. Kiriakou discusses the controversial torture program initiated after 9/11, revealing that only 16 people initially knew about the CIA's waterboarding plans. He explains that the idea for waterboarding came from two psychologists who reverse-engineered survival training techniques. Kiriakou was approached to participate in the program but refused, citing its illegality and moral implications. He was the only one out of 14 colleagues to decline involvement, leading to his eventual arrest and imprisonment for whistleblowing. The conversation shifts to the dynamics within the CIA and the relationships between various administrations. Kiriakou notes that Bill Clinton had little interaction with CIA Director James Woolsey, while Vice President Al Gore was more engaged with intelligence matters. He contrasts this with George W. Bush's administration, where Dick Cheney was perceived to have more control over foreign policy than Bush himself. Kiriakou also discusses the CIA's interrogation techniques, criticizing the agency's approach compared to the FBI's more effective and humane methods. He emphasizes that the CIA's tactics were driven by a desire for revenge after 9/11, which ultimately proved ineffective. He describes the extreme measures taken, such as sleep deprivation and the "cold cell" technique, which resulted in prisoner deaths. The discussion touches on the political implications of the torture program, with Kiriakou asserting that the CIA operated outside legal boundaries. He reflects on the consequences of his whistleblowing, including his imprisonment and the loss of his pension. Kiriakou expresses frustration over the lack of accountability for those involved in the torture program, particularly John Brennan, who he believes has evaded scrutiny for his role in the CIA's actions. As the conversation progresses, Kiriakou shares insights into the relationships between intelligence agencies, noting a lack of trust in the Israeli Mossad while expressing admiration for British intelligence. He recounts experiences of intimidation from Israeli operatives and the challenges of working with foreign intelligence services. The interview concludes with Kiriakou discussing the broader implications of intelligence operations, including the potential for corruption and the manipulation of political narratives. He reflects on the current state of American politics, particularly regarding the investigations into figures like Brennan and Comey, and the ongoing influence of intelligence agencies in shaping policy and public perception.

The 9/11 Files: From Tragedy to Tyranny | Ep 5
reSee.it Podcast Summary
The podcast episode critically examines the official narrative of the 9/11 attacks, suggesting the 9/11 Commission failed to provide an accurate explanation and instead protected the Bush administration while expanding the power of agencies that failed to prevent the attacks. Lawyer Kristen Brightwiser, a 9/11 widow, asserts the attacks were preventable, citing existing intelligence capabilities. The Patriot Act, passed before the commission's report, is criticized for granting the deep state excessive power to access personal records and conduct surveillance without proper oversight. John Kiriakou, a former CIA counterterrorism officer, discusses the CIA's transformation into a paramilitary organization post-9/11, focusing on capturing or killing suspected terrorists. He recounts operations in Pakistan, the filling of local jails, and the transfer of detainees to Guantanamo Bay. The discussion shifts to the controversial detention and interrogation practices at Guantanamo Bay, including torture, euphemistically termed 'enhanced interrogation techniques.' Kiriakou highlights the illegality of waterboarding, referencing historical instances where it was considered a severe crime. The CIA's establishment of secret black sites for torture in various countries is revealed, with details of interrogation methods, such as waterboarding, sleep deprivation, and physical abuse. The reliability of information obtained through torture is questioned, with examples of false confessions, including that of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. The Bush administration's denial of torture is contradicted, and the legal justifications for these practices are scrutinized. The episode further explores the aftermath of 9/11, noting the CIA's increased budget and influence, as well as the FBI's shift in priorities towards counterterrorism and cybercrime, leading to a reduction in traditional crime fighting, particularly drug enforcement. Kiriakou, while not a conspiracy theorist, suggests there is more to the 9/11 story than has been revealed. The episode concludes by identifying the winners and losers of 9/11, with the victims, service members, and the American people as losers, and government officials and agencies as winners, who benefited from increased power, resources, and wealth. The episode calls for a new, honest commission to investigate unanswered questions about 9/11 and hold those responsible accountable.
