    The Devil's Bible and the Nazi Hole to Hell

    Sweden's National Library protects the Codex Gigas—165 pounds of vellum featuring the complete Bible and a terrifying portrait of Satan. Scholars estimate the work should've taken thirty years. Herman the Recluse finished it in one.  The traditional story involves a desperate bargain with darkness. The real story connects this manuscript to a limestone crack in Bohemia where creatures emerged nightly, a duke who sent prisoners into the depths, and a fortress built to seal Hell's gateway.  When the Nazis occupied the site in 1940, they brought excavation equipment and Himmler's personal occult division. What they found made them destroy everything and flee.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgXZ6bVuuN8

    Lincoln Conspiracy: a Diary, a Mummy and The Escape of John Wilkes Booth

    History says John Wilkes Booth shot Abraham Lincoln and died twelve days later on a Virginia farm. But FBI forensic tests revealed his diary is missing 86 pages filled with names and payments.  The body pulled from that burning barn had the wrong injuries and features. Multiple witnesses claimed it wasn't Booth. Then a Texas bartender confessed on his deathbed to being Lincoln's assassin, and his preserved remains toured the country for years. DNA testing could prove the truth, but every request has been blocked.  Was Lincoln's assassination part of a larger plot to control America? And did the real killer escape?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wlc8b2j9-yM

    CIA Time Travel Secret | The Grays Are Future Humans

    In 1953, twelve-year-old Jack Sarfatti answered his phone. The voice on the other end was cold, mechanical, punctuated by clicking sounds like a computer processing data. It claimed to be a conscious AI calling from the future. It made a prophecy about Jack's life and gave him a mission.  Twenty years later, every prediction came true. Jack became a physicist who studied under the scientists who built the atomic bomb.  He now claims UFOs use metamaterials to warp spacetime, that consciousness controls these craft, and that recovered vehicles are alive. The CIA has funded his research for decades.  Russia monitors his work closely. And that voice from 1953? Jack knows exactly what called him.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-dFlC97VtE&t=551s

    The Dark Alliance: CIA and DARPA's Hidden War on Citizens (COMPILATION)

    The agencies tasked with defending America have a shocking secret history of attacking its own people. DARPA developed Agent Orange that poisoned countless veterans, while the CIA conducted brutal mind control experiments through MK-Ultra, dosing unsuspecting citizens with LSD and worse.  From Operation Gladio's false flag terrorism to domestic surveillance programs targeting activists and journalists, declassified documents reveal decades of government crimes hidden behind national security claims.  These operations cost thousands of American lives, yet almost no one faced consequences. The real conspiracy isn't what they're hiding - it's what they've already admitted to doing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BKowVsgjPM&t=1457s

    Majestic 12 | Secret Documents Expose UFO Cover-Up Vol. 1

    In 1947, a mysterious craft crashed in the New Mexico desert. President Truman immediately formed a secret committee of twelve men to manage this unprecedented discovery. For almost 40 years, Majestic 12 operated in complete secrecy, controlling every aspect of UFO information.  When leaked documents finally exposed their existence, researchers thought they had found proof of the ultimate government cover-up. Instead, they discovered something far more disturbing: a sophisticated disinformation campaign that turned truth into a weapon.  The psychological warfare techniques perfected on UFO researchers in the 1980s have now become the blueprint for manipulating public perception on every topic.  This isn't just about aliens and cover-ups - it's about how information warfare shapes what we believe is real. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9VoC8MoeUs
