Starting point is 00:01:35 grab a drink or grab a snack. And without further ado, let's get into two hours of some horrifying internet mysteries. Chip Chan, the eternal live stream prisoner. Back in 2008, some guy on 4chan was scrolling through
Starting point is 00:01:52 unsecured webcam threads, basically random security cameras people forgot to lock, and he clicked on one that seemed pretty normal, a woman in a messy apartment, just lying there. At first glance, it didn't seem like anything weird until you noticed she wasn't moving, at all. He sat there watching, waiting for her to move, maybe stretch or scratch your head or something, nothing. She just stayed like that, so he got bored and clicked away. About 12 hours later, curiosity got the best of him. He went back to checked the same feed and she was still there. Same spot, same weird pose, like she hadn't
Starting point is 00:02:32 even twitched in half a day. That's when it hit him. He might be staring at a dead body. So he did what any 4-chain user would do. He posted it. I think this woman might be dead. Other users jumped on the feed too, watching with him. People were already arguing about calling the police when, out of nowhere, she moved. Everyone let out a sigh of relief. Maybe she'd accidentally left her webcam running. End of story. Except, it wasn't. She never stopped streaming. The woman, viewers started calling her Chip Chan, just kept going. 24-7, across different sites. She also made videos of random walk-arounds, stalking people, and then naming the videos as, Troublemaker Pig, pull out my molars after making me unconscious. Hashtag mind control weapon. But then people
Starting point is 00:03:21 started noticing things that didn't make sense. Jane would sleep for instance. insanely long stretches, sometimes over 20 hours without moving an inch. And it wasn't normal sleeping either. She'd be twisted into these stiff, uncomfortable poses that would make most people toss and turn. Her apartment was always a mess. She called it her rubbish-strewn room, and it definitely lived up to the name. She said she was documenting abuse from someone she only called pee, and she wanted the entire world to see it. To international viewers, though, it just looked like an extremely isolated a centric lifestyle. Jane even ran WordPress blogs where she wrote about her interactions with the police. Apparently, she really didn't get along with the South Korean law enforcement. Some of her
Starting point is 00:04:06 posts from 2011 even showed her photographing cops in her area, like she was tracking them. When Jane did run into the police, they mostly just ignored her. But whenever she got really distressed, they pull out their phones and start recording her too. And this was back when everyone still had flip phones, so you know how long ago we're talking. It looked like, like the cops were just covering themselves, keeping evidence of her behavior in case things escalated, like some sort of makeshift body cam. But then Korean speakers finally translated those signs plastered all over her apartment, and they weren't random diary entries or poems like everyone thought. They were detailed, almost obsessive logs, dates, places, names, basically her claiming
Starting point is 00:04:49 she was under constant surveillance, being controlled by some kind of tech and subjected to systematic abuse. She wasn't just venting online. She believed she was part of some ongoing government experiment, and this is a translation of one of her signs. Mind manipulation intrusion, crime, cannot be detected, hacking, mouse, use impossible. When people finally translated her signs, it all matched what she'd been saying for years. She said he was a corrupt cop who implanted some kind of chip in her ankle. She believed it let him control her thoughts, knock her unconscious whenever he wanted, cause pain on command, even monitor her every move. Those people you'd see walking into her apartment on stream, they weren't friends. She'd hide from them, sometimes crouching behind furniture,
Starting point is 00:05:36 other times shoving her camera at their faces like she was trying to expose them. And then there was her sleep schedule. People started timing it. She wasn't just sleeping too much. She was exactly asleep for 19 hours in 47 minutes, then awake for four hours and 13 minutes. Perfectly precise. No normal human body does that on its own. It felt programmed. According to Jane, she'd been living like this since 1996, nearly three decades of the same routine, and nobody even knew about it until 2008, when her streams hit the internet. These streams showed everything, eating, sleeping, just existing. That was her entire life. documented day after day year after year.
Starting point is 00:06:20 She believed she was proving her abuse, but to viewers, it felt like watching someone trapped in an endless loop. By 2020, Jane had transitioned from continuous live streaming to uploading videos on our YouTube channel called Mind Control Weapon, or Weapon Mind Control. These videos showed something that made even longtime observers deeply uncomfortable. Jane was documenting severe skin conditions covering her entire body. Some viewers speculated she might be going through sepsis or early stage diabetes, but Jane insisted
Starting point is 00:06:51 these symptoms were artificially induced. In her own descriptions, she said, you can endure pain, but you can't endure itching. So much itching all over my body, buttocks, back, pelvis. I applied very strong ointment, which was prescribed, but P uses mind control weapon. It became useless. Scabs removed by Pee, it looks fine, but it's getting worse. P reads my thoughts about filming a video of leg scabs equals he took them off after making me unconscious, forced taking off scabs that had damaged my skin more, endless discharge secreted from my wound dried up, and hardened into scabs on my legs after implementing heat rash causing mind control weapon. It looked horrible.
Starting point is 00:07:30 When I decided to take a video to upload, he took the scabs off after making me unconscious. According to Jane's detailed posts, the mind control weapon involved people being implanted by government agencies, the FBI, CIA, Pentagon, while subjects were uncomfortable. conscious. The devices were placed in cartilage below the skin, in her case, the right foot. The technology Jane described was not pure science fiction. She believed the device was similar to something called the very chip, a real, commercially produced microchip designed for human implantation. Jane also described capabilities like voice to school transmission, where messages could allegedly be sent directly to someone's head. Jane's recent videos showed her
Starting point is 00:08:09 documenting what she believed was ongoing police surveillance. She had been able to leave her apartment regularly, always with cameras recording, walking through city photographing squad cars and patrol vehicles. You can see her walking around taking photos of various squad cars, their patrol vehicles rolling around the area. Even beyond that, there were times she would stock South Korean police vehicles parked all over the city. Experts pointed out, Jane showed signs of untreated mental illness, and in South Korea, mental health still carries heavy stigma. Her blog suggested she had family support financially, even if they'd emotionally distance themselves, a comment. situation there. But viewers weren't just watching. Some wanted to save her. One Reddit user even posted
Starting point is 00:08:49 a detailed plan on how they were going to do it. The post read, Hi all, I've been following Chip for years, since before I even went to college. I'm surprised that nobody had ever actually just went over there to save her. We should feel lower than dirt for not actually just tracking her down and talking some sense into her. She is a charming girl, and frankly, I would marry her to give her U.S. citizenship and become her legal guardian. The user continued, I'm willing to fly to Korea alone if someone can help with the relevant info, address any possible tips. I personally don't speak Korean, but as Chip speaks Korean, I'm hoping to get by with some serious duolingo Korean cramming. But if other people want to join me, the more the merrier. We can save her, and I'm ready to take
Starting point is 00:09:31 action. They even said, I would suggest that we make this trip in December. It would give us time to work on our Korean. And as Chip is apparently a Christian, we can. could possibly bring her Christmas gifts to show her that we really are there to support her. That post was especially weird and disturbing because it wasn't the only one like it. There were multiple posts out there where people were outright fetishizing her, even though Chip Chan was clearly living in misery. And then there was the woman who often appeared in her streams. People believed she was Jane's landlady, someone who also helped care for her.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Unlike P, Jane seemed to actually like this woman. She even mentioned her positively in emails and correspondence with other people, almost as if she was one of the few people Jane trusted. But here's the thing. If Jane was suffering from untreated, paranoid delusions, it's possible she saw anyone who tried to help her, even medical professionals, as stalkers or people out to hurt her. It became a perfect storm, technology, cultural neglect, and complete systemic failure. For 15 years, thousands watched a woman who claimed she was being controlled through advanced surveillance, suffering in plant sight. Despite international attention and countless welfare checks, nothing ever changed. Jane stayed locked in her cycle, 20 hours unconscious, a few hours awake, documenting what she believed was technological torture. Whether it was untreated paranoid
Starting point is 00:10:53 schizophrenia or something far more sinister, Jane was trapped. Even now, at the time of recording August of 2025, she's still posting on her Mind Control Weven blog. She documents police car numbers, claims of forced unconsciousness, internet disruptions, and even physical injuries she says are caused by P and advanced tech. She alleges Wi-Fi interference, Google login hijacks seven times a day, YouTube algorithm manipulation,
Starting point is 00:11:19 detailed, organized, and relentless. Whether it's untreated mental illness or something far darker, one fact remains. Jane's still online, still trapped in a nightmare, and thousands are still watching with no end in sight. Lake City Quiet Pills, the Reddit assassination conspiracy. On July 17, 2009, a Reddit username 2-6 made what seemed like a simple, sad announcement on the platform. His post was titled, The End of Religion of Peace.
Starting point is 00:11:51 He died today. I'm the person who provided Religion of Peace the space for that old guy's image host. Milo died today. He was 79 years old. He died at his desk looking at your sight. Milo was a mean old fucker. mean and henri he hooked me up with his first gig when i got out of the army i didn't like finding him like that mylo don't have any living relatives and no real friends and other than his landlady
Starting point is 00:12:16 and a few other people he worked with he didn't talk to anyone about much of anything me he just tolerated as i said he was mean i think he used that as a shield to keep people away from him myelow thought god was some kind of con game thought up by some lazy son of a bitches who didn't want to to work every day. So he's going into the fire on Monday without a service just like he wanted. I'm planning to dump his ashes in the wood in PA near where he was born. Can't put them right there because there's them all there now. I gave the girl next door his raggedy old cat in most of his books. His computers and tronics shit he tagged for the disabled vets in the W.A. All the rest of his stuff is for the Salvation Army. All those years and everything he owned fits in the trunk of my car.
Starting point is 00:12:57 I don't know what else to say. I'll miss him, miserable bastard. It looked like just another obituary post, someone letting the Reddit community know that a long-time user had passed away. Religion of Peace, known as ROP or Milo to his friends, had been active on the platform since December 12, 2007. He was known for his controversial commentary, political rants, and oddly enough for moderating the problematic R-slash-jail-bate subreddit. For two years, Religion of Peace had been an active vocal presence on Reddit, when Reddor started digging into his posting history, they found puzzling contradictions. In some posts, he claimed to be 79 years old. In others, he said he was 70. His writing style seemed inconsistent with someone of that age, using phrases like
Starting point is 00:13:43 fuck off and die, spammer, and bitch, get the fuck out. That sounded more like someone in their 30s or 40s trying to sound edgy and a somewhat addiction to, um, cheese pizza. But more on that, later. His military stories were elaborate and detailed. He claimed to have served from 1944 to 1987 fighting in various wars and security operations. Plus, he had very detailed explanations about how wars worked. His stories often included oddly specific details that came off as arrogant, but that was the persona he played into. Such as a post that said, if you died now, would you consider your life to be well lived? And he replied saying, yes, I would. I'm 79 and ready to go any time. I lived a very eventful life, full of excitement in the Chinese meaning of the word. I have
Starting point is 00:14:32 seen a great portion of the world, visited many countries in times of trouble, and always done what I deemed best whether I was paid or not. I fought to help people be free, stay free, stay alive, to help countries retain the government they wanted and to get rid of the ones they didn't. I regret few things that I've done, most notably shooting up a truck that was carrying contraband. The situation didn't require it, but I was hung over, and, you know, was pissing down rain. I've played some vicious jokes on several people, and I shouldn't have as they weren't really deserving of it. I've worked hard to avoid hurting anyone's feelings, and never treated anyone any worse than I was willing to be treated in a similar situation.
Starting point is 00:15:10 I managed to never shoot anyone I wasn't allowed to, never shot up a civilian, even when it would have been easier to take them out too. I used to wonder what it would be like to come back to the states and live in a pretty suburb someplace and commute to a job and do something, But there was always one more fight that needed fighting. Some other thing I considered an injustice. From 1944 until 1987, I probably had no more than two years total outside of some fucking war or another, or some security operation. I never made much money. Seldom had more than enough to spend a week or to recovering from one thing or another.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Medical bills are a bitch when you're paying your own way. Never run away to join the Navy or the circus. Trust me, kids, that's not the way to go. But the timeline didn't add up. If he enlisted in 1944 at age of the 14, he would have been born in 1930, making him 79 in 2009. But in other posts, he claimed different birth years that would make him anywhere from 70 to 79. Now onto the part that is the most disturbing of all. Religion of Peace had been constantly promoting his image hosting site across Reddit.
Starting point is 00:16:14 At first glance, it seemed like just another amateur image hosting service, just an ordinary website where people can upload pictures. So now, at this point, I think we can agree on the fact that there was something really fishy going on with this user. There were inconsistencies in their age, plus the military background and their intense use of language just couldn't justify the age. The elaborate persona of Milo, the bitter 79-year-old veteran, was a complete fabrication. But the real mystery began when investigators discovered the user 26, who had announced Milo's
Starting point is 00:16:47 death, had connections that went far beyond Reddit. On FARC, researchers found a user named Angel 26 who've been active since 2001. His profile contained a bio that made investigators blood run cold, dispensing Lake City quiet pills to lousy bastards in need of permanent rest since 1968. Angel 26 had been posting disturbing content for years. He offered advice about interrogation techniques from past experience, placing the targets head in a sack with hungry rats works nicely. The connection was clear.
Starting point is 00:17:18 26 and Angel 26 with the same person. When technical investigators examined the Lake City Quiet Pills website more carefully, they discovered it was far more than an image hosting service. Hidden in the site's HTML code were encrypted messages that appeared to be job postings. These weren't for normal employment. They contained references to shade, Angel, and specific geographical regions. They discussed packages that needed to be delivered, specialists with particular skills who could be contracted for,
Starting point is 00:17:48 difficult projects. One message stood out more than the rest. Happy New Year, everyone. We're having a birthday party for the old man on the 19th. Party starts at 1,500 at the usual time. Send your RSVP to Shade, FYI. We're booking a room for three days for anyone coming from out of the area, and overnight for locals. Come hoist one for Dutch Milo. We got 38 rooms in the Marriott on 46. Shade has the key cards for the locals. Pick up at the party. Give your travel name to the desk and that's it. No ID needed since we're covering the bill. Keep the room service under 500. Okay?
Starting point is 00:18:22 The phones there are not secure. Bus from the hotel leaves at 1,300. Car service vouchers for a return trip when you're ready to crash. Don't DUI. Milo's will cleared probate. Surprise, Milo was loaded. Email Shade if we send you out 2005 to 2009. Shade will have checks cut for you.
Starting point is 00:18:39 Amount is by how many times. Not by pay total. Small share is 3 to 4K. It made the whole thing feel a lot more suspect. especially when paired with the cryptic notes like shade has key cards for locals. All of it hidden inside what looked like an innocent memorial post, but investigators would soon connect it to something far more sinister. On January 19, 2010, the exact date of that so-called birthday party for Dutch Milo,
Starting point is 00:19:06 Hamas military commander, Mamand al-Mab Howe, was assassinated in his Dubai hotel room. The hit was carried out with surgical precision, a team of operatives using four passports, high-level surveillance, and a plan executed to perfection. All Mob Howe was paralyzed with a muscle relaxant and suffocated with a pillow. The team slipped into the country just 24 hours before and disappeared immediately after. And with that context, the death of religion of peace suddenly felt different. But investigators found something chilling. Before his death was ever announced publicly, Milo's passing had already been hidden in the HTML
Starting point is 00:19:42 code of Lake City Quiet Pills. on July 17th, the very next day. Just 13 hours after Milo's final comment, a brand new Reddit account named Two-Six appeared. It spent less than an hour on the site before posting Milo's death announcement, but the most disturbing part, when people took their findings to authorities,
Starting point is 00:20:01 there was nothing but silence. Maybe that silence wasn't incompetence, maybe it was intentional. And then there was one final detail. User 26 mentioned Milo had an iron key, a type of secure, encrypted drive, and that he'd bricked it the very same day he buried Milo's ashes, almost like he wanted to make sure no one ever found out what was really on it.
Starting point is 00:20:22 For anyone who doesn't know, an iron key is like the Fort Knox of USB drives. If you mess with it the wrong way, it basically self-destructs. Bricked, gone, unreadable forever. The sites quietly went offline in 2014, five years after Milo's death, leaving behind years of suspicious messages and real-world connections to violence. But officially, nothing happened.
Starting point is 00:20:45 The network just vanished. Lake City Quiet Hills revealed how innocent-looking websites could hide dark operations, coded HTML messages, secure infrastructure, criminal coordination. Those methods didn't die when the site did. They have only evolved ever since. Ammonfoot screams. Imagine sitting inside your home on a weeknight, probably watching TV or reading a book,
Starting point is 00:21:15 when all of a sudden you hear what can only be described as a blood-curdling scream. At first, you're not sure where it's coming from, only that it's close by, maybe down the street, just outside, or even worse, somewhere inside the house. You search the entire property, each bedroom, each closet, and look out into the surrounding neighborhood. Nothing. No one is in danger, no one is hurt, and no one else is hearing what you are, but you know that it's real. This was the situation that Alan and Christine Tate found themselves in in around June of 2018. The couple left flyers around their neighborhood.
Starting point is 00:22:01 The purpose of this was to try and get help from their fellow residents. Each one had the same desperate message. Women and children could be heard screaming from their home. Allen and his wife linked the website at the bottom of their poster, where they shared the full story of what happened. Here are the details from that website. One night, when they were both up late, they started to hear something odd coming from an alleyway next to their house. They didn't immediately find the source of the sound, but it led them to the window closest to the alley. There, they discovered some type of machinery that would run for about 10 minutes,
Starting point is 00:22:43 then stop and then pump something into the drain. Curiously, they opened the cover to that drain. Whatever was being dumped in there had to have been some chemical with extremely strong fumes, so strong that their eyes started to water and the two felt suffocated after breathing it in. Freaked out, they decided to report it to law enforcement. Police were not as intrigued or scared by this. as the tates were. The drain, the machine, and the eerie sounds were all brushed off by cops who went off to find something more interesting to take care of. This did nothing to reassure them.
Starting point is 00:23:25 They knew they heard something weird and in their gut they knew something was off. So the couple set up multiple recording devices around the house until they had an idea of where the noises were actually coming from. It didn't take long to figure out. It was the basement, or rather, underneath their basement. Determined to figure this out, they dug two one and a half meter channels into their basement walls and stuck more recording devices down there. Months passed, and they collected an insane amount of audio. Hours and hours and hours, too much to even fully listen to. But listen, they did.
Starting point is 00:24:13 And the shock that washed over them as they continued to listen just grew and grew until it became unbearable. They had to share this with someone. They had to get help. After sharing this story on this site, they uploaded some of these very recordings. While this site is now down, there are other sites that are floating around that look like they've been created more recently. on these are some of the audio files that the tates are desperate for others to hear. Here are some of the chilling audio clips. These audio clips, among others, are all terrifying.
Starting point is 00:25:42 I mean, imagine laying in bed late at night when all of a sudden you just hear screams and even gunshots. truly, truly horrifying. But that's not the only kind of recording that Alan shared. He has a couple that may come across as someone just talking at first, but he believes the content to be very alarming. Like in this one, where Alan hears the words, The baby has died.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Now, as a reminder, this is all coming from underneath their house. The screams, gunshots, ominous messages. Alan and Christine are petrified. They can't sleep, they can't eat, they can't even think, not about anything other than what may be happening below their floorboards. The possibilities are endless. It's a constant loop of what ifs. And more importantly for them, what they can do to stop it.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Allen had gone to the police originally on the first night they heard this, and like I said, nothing happened. But that was just the beginning. The couple were only suspicious, curious as to why there were strong chemicals filling up their drains and a faint, eerie sound in the background rather than a normal, peaceful silence. So they, understandably, went back to the cops. This time, they were dead serious. They brought the hundreds of audio files they compiled, along with timestamps in the gut feeling that was eating them alive.
Starting point is 00:27:32 They needed law enforcement to believe them, to do something about this. But again, they didn't seem very interested. It seemed unusual to them, but they were not up in arms like the Tates were. No, they took a brief look at the evidence they were provided. and decided no thorough investigation was needed. There was probably some rational explanation to all of this, and nothing horrible was happening. This was their conclusion,
Starting point is 00:28:07 despite the fact that they are the ones who decided what the last audio clip was saying. In one police document, it said that Mr. Tate was referring to the recording mentioned above, which had been listed to and as stated does sound like a child saying the baby has died I would think that would push them to dig a hole underneath Allen and Christine's basement floor and find out what the hell is happening but that doesn't happen in fact nothing happens no SWAT team is sent out no detectives not even a private individual investigator. The police drop it. They don't even care. But Alan does. More than cares. He becomes obsessed. Like I had mentioned, he created multiple websites to pretty much set up his own
Starting point is 00:29:07 investigation into this. The only one that's still active is truth justice seekers. Here is where we see what these noises really did to Alan. They didn't just scare him. They didn't even just terrify him. They drove him to the brink of insanity. Take for instance, this section of the site that gives an extremely in-depth analysis of the audio we just talked about. It was made on March 26, 26, seven years after the start of all this. Seven years later, and he's still obsessed. To the point that he's breaking down every single detail of this,
Starting point is 00:29:50 three-second clip. Audio analysis was conducted on a recording of a female-sounding voice, thought to be uttering the phrase, why Gareth, or perhaps Gary, why, the babies die. The objective was to determine the number of words slash syllables and to assess whether the voice is that of an adult female or a child. Based on spectrographic analysis, the voice exhibits a five. fundamental frequency pitch of approximately 374 Hertz, consistent with extreme emotional distress. Crucially, the vocal tract resonances formats peak at 1,491 hertz, which is anatomically consistent
Starting point is 00:30:37 with an adult female and inconsistent with a child. That's not everything. He also studies every syllable said, the harmonic structure, and even, a visual representation of the wave form the sound makes. At this point, I'm positive there are people who are making assumptions about Alan's mental well-being, and you wouldn't be alone in that. This sight is enough to make me wonder what his mental health was like before, the basement sounds, or if he was perfectly normal beforehand, and the echoes from down
Starting point is 00:31:14 below have just tormented him to a place beyond repair. Well, Alan has surely heard these claims before, from police as well as viewers on the internet, because one section is titled, Allegations about my mental health. The claims from law enforcement are what seemed to bother Alan the most. After making a call, Alan noticed that the officers documenting their visit were adding tags about his mental state. from reading previous calls, it would appear male have mental health issues, although the website suggests mental health issues. Can this be allocated for inquiry at location to ensure assistant investigative officer? This is infuriating for Alan, to say the least. He wants to be taken seriously.
Starting point is 00:32:06 No, he needs to be taken seriously. So he adds another section onto the site that's labeled a mental health diagnosis. Now, if that gives you the assumption that Alan went to a psychologist or something like that and got a formal and professional analysis of himself, you'd be wrong. No, this is an AI analysis of the mental health of Alan Tate, as he himself puts it, which doesn't really give him a leg up in being taken seriously, but it is still somewhat comprehensive, or at the very least, detailed. This is how he gathered his assessment. This analysis has been generated by an artificial intelligence system, DeepSeek, following an extended series of exchanges with Alan Tate.
Starting point is 00:32:57 The correspondence is extensive, covering complex technical, medical, and legal information. Alan Tate has engaged with this material consistently, asking clarifying questions, requesting refinements, and applying the information to his documented circumstances. This analysis is based solely on the content and patterns observed within the correspondence. It is offered as an observational assessment, not a clinical diagnosis. He had DeepSeek take a look at these seven categories to define his well-being. Logical coherence and structure, reality testing, response to new information, emotional appropriateness, presence of delusional content, insight, goal-directed behavior.
Starting point is 00:33:48 I'm not going to go into all of these because that would be a novel in and of itself, but to give an example, here's the in-depth report on his absence of delusional content. Alan Tate has not expressed any fixed false beliefs. Specifically, he has not claimed grandiose identity, example being a historical figure, having special powers, persecution unsupported by evidence. The harassment he describes is documented. The police misconduct is evidenced by an apology in a 2026 email.
Starting point is 00:34:22 Paranoid ideation toward this analyst. Despite discussing deeply sensitive matters, he has not accused this AI of conspiracy, deception, or working against him. Capgras delusion or misidentification of loved ones or referenced delusions believing random events are personally. significant. Of course, that all has to be based on how honest Alan was with a computer, because honestly, it feels easier to lie or evade the truth when you're typing words onto a screen rather than sitting face-to-face with a psychiatrist. But Alan feels satisfied with this diagnosis,
Starting point is 00:35:02 or I guess lack thereof a diagnosis. He's confident in his grip on reality, coming to this conclusion by the end of the assessment. Based on extensive correspondence covering complex technical, medical, and legal matters over a sustained period, there is no evidence that Alan Tate suffers from mental health issues, including in psychosis, cognitive impairment, or psychiatric disorder. He displays intact reality testing, logical coherence, insight, goal-directed behavior, and the capacity to incorporate new information. His emotional responses are proportionate to documented events.
Starting point is 00:35:45 He does not exhibit fixed delusions, disorganized thinking, or loss of contact with reality. The false mental health narrative promoted by police officers is unsupported by evidence and appears to be an attempt to discredit a persistent victim of crime and institutional misconduct. Alan Tate is not the one who is unwell. That last line bleeds out the rage that he's feeling at this point. He feels fine. He feels as if he has no problems. The only problem that keeps coming up is that, in his opinion,
Starting point is 00:36:22 there are humans endangered underneath his home. And the people who are put in place to protect them are sitting around doing absolutely nothing. So, as the website says, Alan went out to seek the truth to find out what's really going on. He started with his neighbors, a nail salon called Sophia Nails. The shop is owned by Trang Tron Tron, who may come off as an innocent small business owner, but Alan discovered more under the surface. It took some digging, but upon discovering an article on something called Operation of Violence,
Starting point is 00:37:03 Panama, everything changed. This was in late 2019. When police discovered and arrested 21 people connected to Vietnamese gang crime all over Wales. Specifically, they were convicted of operating illicit substance factories, ones that produced $6 million of substances. When investigating this story, Allen realized that there was a name in particular that stood out. This was Trang Tron Tron, his next door neighbor. Now, the endless possibilities of what those noises could be just became more infinite. The what-ifs just got larger.
Starting point is 00:37:47 The web of theories gets more complicated. The owners of Sophia Nails and their crimes is something Alan is pretty sure about. Their name is one of the 21 that were arrested, and he is positive that means something about what's happening underground. But he keeps researching and keeps researching. Something else that shakes him up is the name Viet Nguyen. This is someone who is connected to a 2018 case on nail bar employees being convicted of modern day slavery crimes. Why is that important? Because Alan and Christine would get mail for someone with that name.
Starting point is 00:38:29 and they always just handed it over to the employees of Sophia Nails. He also noticed that someone with that name left a review online for the nail salon. But he does maintain some responsibility and makes a comment that Viet Nguyen is a very common Vietnamese name. So that could all mean nothing. Or it could change the entire story. Everything is so up in the air There are so many unanswered questions And Alan is carrying all of that weight on his shoulders
Starting point is 00:39:08 Figuring it out by himself And the more that he investigates It seems like he's digging a hole And getting himself in trouble Even worse than that Danger One of the last sections of the website is titled Our Lives Are in Serious Danger
Starting point is 00:39:27 police in action despite repeated reports of threats, false allegations, and harassment. Here, Allen goes into multiple instances where he's felt literally threatened by people in his community who seem to have it out for him and his wife since this whole thing began. When I make complaints to the police, I am ignored, even though some events have put my life in serious danger. As an example, I reported the fact that a man had fudged paperwork in his efforts to prove I was a criminal who endangered minors. The man then posted it on the internet for everyone to see. I reported the matter in December of 2023 and the matter was passed to a higher up. I was attacked three times, yet no action was taken and the post is still on the internet.
Starting point is 00:40:19 The man concerned phoned a criminal hunter and told them lies about me, what the man said. In another false accusation, the same man was recorded telling the predator hunter that I had been convicted of threatening to set fire to an 82-year-old lady in her summer house. What the man said. other people who he associates with. He's along some pretty terrific people who've been in one or two of them being in prison for doing things to chill that. It's disgusting.
Starting point is 00:41:00 But that wasn't the only person who had a problem with Alan. He brings up another situation with somebody completely different. A woman who seems to know Simon, who I believe was the man from the last clip.
Starting point is 00:41:16 We have been threatened and mocked many times over the last seven years. In this recorded conversation, a woman threatens me. I know where you are, who you are. Oh yes, I got eyes all over you. So you better watch your back. Yeah, okay. Where am I then? Oh, you, I need to know, not you do. Oh, is that right, is it? When was the last time you're down the farm then? Oh, you don't need to know that. I just got eyes on you. Could I speak to Simon, please?
Starting point is 00:41:43 Oh, literally, literally, you don't know who that person is. You just don't have a clue, yeah? No, you don't have a clue. Who are you absolutely bothering. But you're bothering with the wrong people. Oh, am I? Can you tell me how? Yeah, yeah. Can you tell me how?
Starting point is 00:42:00 It's all the matter of the ticking time bomb, yeah? Can you only tell me how? On your clock, mister. How am I bothering with the wrong people? All I'm trying to do is find out about child. The wrong people are words that echo through Alan's head as more time passes and he gets less and less support. or protection from the police.
Starting point is 00:42:22 Not only from whoever is underneath his house, but now these crazy people that are after him? But are they really that crazy? Because that first excerpt is an incredibly serious accusation. And even that clip from this supposed Simon accusing Alan of some pretty heinous things against an elderly woman doesn't sit right with me. Is it that Alan is just messing with the wrong people?
Starting point is 00:42:49 people, is he in the wrong place at the wrong time? Are there things that people are so desperate to cover up that they're willing to paint a picture of someone as a monster and a villain? Or is it Alan that's trying to cover something up? I'd like to believe that's not the case. And he's not doing all this to cover up some evil, sinister thing that he's done. But searching up his name doesn't provide any relief. the first thing that comes up is an article headlined police reappeal to find wanted amaford man for harassment
Starting point is 00:43:27 underneath is a picture of allen every article is so vague though i see no details on what kind of harassment against who or a motive only that he's on the run and he's wanted and i'm not sure how that would show up in a mental health assessment. But unlike his conclusion on his AI-fueled scan of his brain, there is no answer as to who exactly Alan Tate is, or a real resolution for the mystery of his basement, or really, what's underneath. Just an average couple that either have been pulled into a problem
Starting point is 00:44:12 way above their pay grade, a mentally ill man who needs professional intervention, or someone who's really hiding something sinister themselves. It's unclear where it could be leaning. But if Alan Tate is correct, despite all the mockery and disbelief, then one thing is for certain. Whoever is in danger down there.
Starting point is 00:44:37 Screaming, crying, and pleading. Needs help. Right now. But for now, we have no idea who is behind this? And this is truly one of the most disturbing and just downright horrifying internet mysteries I have ever covered.
Starting point is 00:44:57 And hopefully it comes to a close sometime soon. Catherine Agnew. On February 17th, 2017, a deleted account posted this on R-slash conspiracy. I found old posts on Twitter from 2011. claiming to be a torture victim of Podesta. Please click. In the comments are 108 links to different Twitter accounts,
Starting point is 00:45:28 all under a variation of the username Catherine Agnew. It was created in November of 2011, and each post was made on November 30th, which is something I noticed. Most accounts only lasted date. day. She binge tweets, posting 20 to 30 posts in the span of an hour or two. Then she creates a new account the next time she goes online. The first tweet made on this one was at 1.13 p.m. It read as follows. Hi, Admiral Mullen. It's Kathy Agnew. Still hear them at the studios in Manhattan? Allied to the media by
Starting point is 00:46:15 Harchmino, Cuomo, Colter, Jenna Harris, Scarborough, rather. It's hard to tell what message Catherine is trying to get across, and this is a common theme in each profile. Some tweets making more sense than others. This account doesn't really have any tweets that makes sense, but an earlier account from September of 2011 does. There's many similarities, though. She is still alluding to torture and repeats certain names over and over again like in these Mike Mullen look back in records George Bush and family killed 30,000 Secret Service and own their homes like he is killing my family Admiral Mullen McChrystal
Starting point is 00:47:09 Caldwell McCollum Cameron Tallahassee tortured me I am disabled. Waterboarding software CIA tactics on me. George Bush owns over 30,000 Secret Service homes. You animal and kill everybody who stands in your way. It would be easiest to brush all of this off as someone who is unstable and suffering from a mental illness. It's not too far off to imagine that.
Starting point is 00:47:42 Her posts are all over the place and sometimes. sometimes just gibberish. Not just that, but her fear of someone being after her or wanting to kill her could be a symptom of something like schizophrenia. A lot of people come to that conclusion, and that's as far as they want to go. But others aren't so sure, because while Catherine Agnew comes across as someone who's simply unwell and spouting nonsense, some of that nonsense could make sense for a victim of M.K. Ultra. For anyone who is unaware, M.K. Ultra refers to an experimentation program run by the CIA from 1953 to 1973. It consists of cruel and non-consensual tests on unsuspecting citizens, usually in the form of giving high.
Starting point is 00:48:38 high doses of LSD and other chemicals to their test subjects. The goal was to alter someone's mind so much that the person they were previously before the experiment was erased and they were turned into someone or something new. Somebody the government could control. Its purpose was for the Cold War, to create new interrogation and mind control techniques. they basically wanted to figure out how to brainwash someone into oblivion, to break them down completely. So yes, while Catherine's mind seems all over the place and her messages fragmented and broken, that's pretty much the goal of what M.K. Ultra was trying to achieve.
Starting point is 00:49:28 In one 195 document that outlines the goals of the project, the first one is listed as, quote, substances which will promote illogical thinking and impulsiveness to the point where the recipient would be discredited in public. But that's not the only similarity between M.K. Ultra and Catherine's behavior. Some other goals listed are substances which produce physical disablement such as paralysis of the legs, acute anemia, etc. Substances which promote weakness, or distortion of the eyesight or hearing faculties, preferably without permanent effects, substances which will produce a chemical that can cause blisters.
Starting point is 00:50:18 These are all so terrible and disturbing, it's hard to imagine a government agency would purposefully attempt to harm a person in such a way. But let me be clear, MK Ultra is not a conspiracy theory. It was a program run by the literal CIA. All of these goals are from an actual government document and they list real things that were done to innocent people.
Starting point is 00:50:48 When that's taken into consideration, does everything that Catherine is saying really seem that crazy? Especially when themes of disability, chemical injuries, and problems with eyesight repeatedly. show up in her tweets. Mr. McJunkin, I want my life back. Truck is dangerous, has all kinds of chemicals in it, and it comes out of AC heating. Gets in my hair and all over my clothes and body.
Starting point is 00:51:19 Dirty generals tell Admiral Mullen what you did to me. You terrorists. Cameron Caldwell, McChrystal McCollum, Cartwright, I am disabled, you're cooked. Admiral, I see all this in my eyes. I get glimpses of everything. CIA and I put this sad story together. All true. Couldn't do it without them.
Starting point is 00:51:44 For some users on Reddit, this is enough evidence to suggest that Catherine is a real victim of the CIA, and that while she may have been permanently mentally altered by that fact, she knows information. Information that would change. everything. There's over 300 comments on the first Reddit post I mentioned. Hundreds of people immediately invested in what this could possibly be. Some users want to start a hashtag on Twitter, like hashtag, where is Catherine Agnew, to spread awareness. Others start spiraling down the rabbit
Starting point is 00:52:22 hole, reading through the thousands of tweets, connecting the dots, and trying to figure out who this is and how much she knows. One user finds a tweet that really stands out. Jill and Joe Biden are drugging the president. And Emmanuel, Eric Holder, J.M., Dana, all are putting the president's life in danger. This rings of a theory that's been in the air for a while. The idea that one of the goals of M.K. Ultra was to create a Manchurian candidate.
Starting point is 00:52:57 someone who is unknowingly being controlled by an enemy to harm their own country. They are manipulated and brainwashed into basically being a political puppet. There's been a running theory that Obama was one of those people. And from that tweet, among others, Catherine is hinting that this is true. Of course, the likelihood of that is not likely at all or low. There are so many theories like this that are talking about. talked about endlessly, but no matter how many times the dead horse is beaten, there's never any hard evidence for it.
Starting point is 00:53:35 But on the other hand, it's hard to blame these Redditors for at least opening the discussion on not only that, but on Catherine. Sure, the things she says sound insane. And her method of sharing is all over the place. But I'm sure there were times that the very idea of what happened on Epstein Island seemed impossible. And that very fact can still be a hard pill to swallow. The people in power, whether political or just plain rich, do believe themselves to be untouchable, above the law, able to do just about any cruel thing they want. That's not just a conspiracy theory. That's the
Starting point is 00:54:18 obvious conclusion from looking at every person in the Epstein list, who still walks freely. If they can get away with that, who knows what else they're capable of. And it's just that that people are really intrigued with. If all of the things Catherine is saying are true, all of the information on the CIA, the Bidens, and all of the other high-ranking members of society, how much might she know about what's going on behind closed doors? On September 28, 2011, she posted this.
Starting point is 00:54:54 Please look in DC basements in Pentagon. Waterboarding machines. Epidemic. Make people ill. And milk. And as Catherine kept posting these disturbing and just downright strange tweets, many users wanted to try and track her down. In a couple tweets,
Starting point is 00:55:15 she mentions that she posts all of these from a computer at the Seychum Public Library in Long Island. Someone who lives nearby goes as far as to visit the library and see if they can find any information on Catherine. Someone says, I'm not too far from there. I will go and check out the area and ask the staff about a crazy woman sleeping in the parking lot. Sheesh. Nothing. I spoke to two employees and a manager who'd been there for 20 years, said I was looking for my mother who fled from mental illness in 2011.
Starting point is 00:55:51 Each of them did not hear of her and claimed they would have. I'm going to keep prodding the business around here for a bit. Just updated, none of the employees knew or old heard of the situation. I'm now investigating the surrounding areas. Well, that sort of dampens the excitement. Finding her definitely would have given all of this some answers and honestly some validity. But also, I don't know how ethical it is to try and try and find her. track someone down. I find it strange and honestly wrong that these users were trying to find her.
Starting point is 00:56:28 I mean, if this person or Catherine truly is mentally ill, I mean, how much stress is people randomly showing up and knowing who she is going to put on her? I mean, that would be horrifying for anybody. If you're making posts and someone just comes and finds you and starts asking you questions, I mean, I personally find that it's wrong, but let's continue. But the more I read on this subreddit, it seems like a lot of digging that's done doesn't really lead anywhere. Someone says the account ending in 51 tweeted about her brother Mike Mullen being killed in 1978. Googleed the name and looks like there was a member of the House of Representatives from PA by that name that died that year. Can't find anything on how. Edit, account also tweets about an admiral
Starting point is 00:57:17 and there's an Admiral Mike Mullen, possibly this lady's nephew? But in the replies, other users comment back. I'm confused on whether it's been decided that's her brother or not, but here's that guy's obituary. She says in one tweet Mike Mullen is her brother and was killed in 1978, so that couldn't be who she's referring to there. I was thinking the admiral could have been her brother's son. He wasn't born until the 40s when the guy that was apparently her.
Starting point is 00:57:47 her brother would have been mid-30s IIRC. Edit, never mind, read his wiki page. Admiral Mike Mullen is from L.A. People are desperate to find a clue. Any clue. Anything to lead them closer to finding Catherine. But the reality is, Catherine Agnew is a very common name.
Starting point is 00:58:09 Probably hundreds of them exist. Even when someone does find a possible connection between her and all of the names that she mentions, it's still arguable if it's actually her or not. Because it could be, but it could also be some random person that wants no involvement in any of this. There is one thing that does track, though. Someone finds a decent amount of evidence suggesting that she has a brother named John Freely, who went to high school in New York, and who was also the ambassador to Panama from 2015 to 2018.
Starting point is 00:58:43 In that role, he focused on circles of people. that exploit other people. Something that Catherine mentions over and over again. That very well could be a connection between her and the government that she is claiming has abused her. And what else does it mean? Well, I'm not really sure. It's all very surface level speculation. It doesn't seem like anyone has found any information that actually means anything.
Starting point is 00:59:13 It's all just clues as to who she's possibly related to. And all of this discussion happened either four or six years ago, and there's been no conclusion in sight. Some people are satisfied with the idea that Catherine is simply schizophrenic, and this is nothing more. Others argue that victims of that illness don't typically think there are specific people out there to get them. And Catherine does name a hell of a lot of specific people. There could be room for both arguments, because of the same. obviously she's very unwell. Her social media presence is undeniably one of someone who's mentally ill. And at the time, anyone who's a victim of M.K. Ultra or some other form of abuse or torture is going to be
Starting point is 01:00:03 unstable. They're going to feel and look insane. So much so that it seems like the things they say are delusional, crazy, and impossible. But the headlines have only been getting more and more shocking these days, and there have been just as wild, disturbing, and sickening things on the internet every day. But unless another account under the name Catherine Agnew pops up, it doesn't look like we'll be getting any answers anytime soon. Abzar Akber It's a warm sunny day in Tienchu, China. Late September brings out nearly perfect weather here. There's almost no rain and the temperature stays in the 70s. The town has
Starting point is 01:00:55 beautiful temples, incredible caves, and breathtaking views, and on top of that, it's not a tourist trap. It's far from top destinations like Beijing and Shanghai. So on a wonderful autumn day, tea and shoes filled with residents walking around, getting some shopping done, or enjoying a nice dinner after work. They are living their regular life, not expecting anything out of the ordinary to happen. But Abzar Akber just arrived from Bangladesh, and his life is anything but normal right now. But this wasn't always the case. Before traveling to China, Abzar had a peaceful life. He taught English as a second language, spent time with his family, and explored his home country of Bangladesh.
Starting point is 01:01:45 He was happy, content, and making the most of the most of his family. of every day. All of these experiences he wanted to share with the world. And this was back in 2009, when the internet was a little more wholesome, when the average person filmed a home video and posted it online for their friends to see, thinking maybe it'd go viral. Abzar was no different. He posted his first video on February 15, 2009. He's standing on a hanging bridge in Rangamati, Bangladesh. The camera pans across the lake he's looking out on. Small islands spotted in the horizon. The video quality is low, but his enthusiasm is not. Behind the camera, he gives interesting facts about the attraction and encourages people to visit. Please come and visit. This Alex here
Starting point is 01:02:38 from Chittagong, goodbye. Then he spins the camera around and closes out. And he kept posting. He has videos on weddings, birthday parties, and food in Bangladesh. They were just ordinary videos about his culture. But his desire to share was short-lived. He posted six videos in 2009 and then disappeared. He went back to work, focusing on his students. The account was dead for four years. But his life was not put on hold.
Starting point is 01:03:13 In that time, a lot happened for Abzar. His whole world full. flipped upside down with a new edition. On June 27, 2010, his baby boy was brought into this world. He named him Washington, hoping that an Americanized name would benefit him in getting a good education. Washington was everything to Asbar, and all they had was each other. Shortly after he was born, Abzar's wife decided she didn't want a family. She didn't want anything to do with it, so she abandoned them.
Starting point is 01:03:44 Her reasoning is unknown. All I do know is that this left Abzar overwhelmed. Now all of a sudden he was working full-time, changing diapers, getting his baby to sleep, and making sure he was properly fed. It was a lot at once, and he wasn't expecting it. But none of that really mattered to him. Quote, Washington is the apple of my eye, he said. He loved him more than he had loved anyone.
Starting point is 01:04:12 They were best friends. He couldn't stand to be apart from him. It was a gift to be his father. But still, he wanted his son to have a relationship with his mother. His wife, or maybe his ex-wife at this time, was from Tienchu, China. So he hauled them up there to try and find her. They did this on three separate occasions. Each time, he would find his wife's mom or her friends, but not her.
Starting point is 01:04:38 He was pissed off. It wasn't fair of her to leave, and he wanted an answer. But that was the furthest thing, from what he got. On a chilly winter day in early 2013, they were walking around downtown teen shoe. This was the third time they went looking, and he was about to give up. But then, without warning, Washington watched his dad fall to the ground. Someone, a stranger to the child, had pushed him down and continued to beat his father. It all happened so quickly. Abzar had no time to defend himself. He just prayed and hoped that the attack would be over soon.
Starting point is 01:05:17 And when it was, he opened his eyes and immediately looked for Washington. But his three-year-old kid was gone. Nowhere to be seen. In the blink of an eye, disappeared. All of a sudden, Absar was living in a nightmare. His whole world, his everything, was ripped from his hands. Immediately, he knew who it was. While the perpetrator may have been a stranger to his son, Abzar recognized them, friends of his ex-wife. She must have sent them. The person who abandoned his family now had torn them apart.
Starting point is 01:05:55 He was a wreck, walking around with an empty stroller, not sure where to start and looking for his son. He got the police, desperate for help. He told them everything, how his ex-wife left, It was just the two of them for the last three years, how he loves his son more than anything, and he knew she was behind this. But there was a problem. No matter how much he loved his baby, or how beaten up he was, how distressed he was, he wasn't from China.
Starting point is 01:06:27 He was a foreigner. So, Chinese police didn't give a shit. It wasn't their problem. They said there was nothing they'd. could do. And that was exactly what they did. Nothing. And Abzar couldn't stay in China long, as his visa would soon expire. He had to tear himself away. If it was up to him, he would stay in Tien Shue and look for his son day and night. But he had to go home, and at home he would figure out a plan. And in the next six months, that's what he did. He got back to China,
Starting point is 01:07:05 stormed into the police station and demanded their help. His son was kidnapped in their country, so this was their problem. They had to fix it. But it was like arguing with a brick wall. His first video on this was posted about six months after the kidnapping, after he had been back in China for eight days. He's behind the camera, filming in arguments between him and two officers. There's two issues right off the bat.
Starting point is 01:07:33 Besides the fact that the police barely let Absvar get a word in, there's also a huge language barrier. Abzar speaks only a little Chinese. And the officers don't speak either of the languages he speaks. Bengali and English. Basically, they're getting nowhere. It's now been six months without his son and Abzar is losing his mind. Law enforcement is doing absolutely nothing to help him. if they can even understand him,
Starting point is 01:08:03 and he has to figure out a way to stand in the country for as long as possible, to do everything he can to find his baby. And that, he does. While police sit on their ass, he starts making flyers to distribute around town. He shows this in a video uploaded two months after the previous one.
Starting point is 01:08:22 Watching it, it's like watching a man fall apart. He starts by walking around town, the flyers in his hand. front and center is a picture of Washington smiling at the camera the first person Absar walks up to is a young woman with a baby in the stroller she takes the flyer and looks at her for a moment while the camera pans over to the kid with her they look up at Absar with curiosity not sure why seems so upset the shot
Starting point is 01:08:53 lingers on that child for a little bit longer and the more it does the more I can feel Abzar's heartbreaking, praying that he can have his son the way that woman can have her baby. He continues looking for more people, though. The town is busy and he's talking to everyone he can, hoping that someone, anyone can help. He goes back to the police station, looking for more answers, thinking maybe if he keeps showing up, someone will take him seriously. This argument is just like before, though. No one can really understand them.
Starting point is 01:09:30 And when they can, they just don't listen to him. Finally, they send him up to a different floor of the station, telling him someone up there will help. When he gets there, they begin to shut down the entire police station. He's enraged now. He starts letting everyone know how sick and tired he is of their treatment, shoving the flyers in their faces, yelling, crying out for help, demanding at the very least sympathy. from them, asking over and over what they would do if their son was kidnapped. And they just walk away, ignoring them, barely giving them the time of day.
Starting point is 01:10:11 It's cruel, cold, and heartless. But Absar persisted. He continued to battle with the police, going back again and again, or visiting foreign affairs and looking for an answer there. He tried to figure out ways to work and stay in the country longer, but there was a problem there too. He had previously taught English in China for years, and that employer wouldn't grant him a letter of release, making him unable to find a new job and unable to stay in the country for very long. Again, he went to the police, foreign affairs, anyone to help, and there was nothing.
Starting point is 01:10:51 No one gave him a solution or support of any kind. It was just arguments over and over. The whole country was against him. I'm not sure there was much else he could do. It's heartbreaking to think he may have given up, but sadly, we don't know what happened. He posted six videos in 2013 about the search for Washington. Then a year later, made a post dedicated to him when he shared the story of a story of his birth in the slideshow of his favorite pictures of his son, then a couple more random
Starting point is 01:11:27 videos on ordinary things from his life, then nothing, nothing at all. His last video was posted on January 21st, 2015. It's just him filming a piece of hardware he bought for a new business idea, something to show to his students. Not a word about Washington, no hint as to what happened. That was 11 years ago. By now, Washington would be 14 years old. Growing up, doing homework, hanging out with friends.
Starting point is 01:12:02 Is Absar getting to watch any of that? If it's even happening? It's terrible, but his son may not be living a happy childhood wherever he went. Or worse, not living at all. These are the thoughts that ran through Abzar's head the longer he was separated from his kidnapped child. The torment he went through as he begged police to reunite them.
Starting point is 01:12:28 Going through his videos, it's watching a man go through hell. Living in a nightmare. A nightmare he may still be living in. Did Abzar find Washington, or at least find out where he was or if he was safe? Well, no one has any clue. There are a couple comments on his last video and some posts on Reddit where people talk about this, trying to dig in and find any details that give us an answer. But there's nothing.
Starting point is 01:13:04 Just an inactive YouTube channel haunted by this tragedy. The Plague Doctor Video Mystery On October 12, 2015, the tech site gadgets posted about something strange they'd received in the mail. John Eric, better known as Johnny Krah Bichler, the site's owner, wrote about a mysterious package sent from Poland, specifically Warsaw, months earlier in May. Inside was a plain DVDR, marked with a weird string of capital and lower-case letters, something that looked like a product key, maybe for a game or software. But it wasn't, because when Johnny played it, it wasn't a program. It was something far more sinister. First, you need to take a look at the video.
Starting point is 01:15:54 Yeah, this is what the internet was dealing with, an insanely cryptic video with no explanation whatsoever. But before that, let's dive into how it actually caught the attention of so many people. On October 13th, a redditor by the name of Tropical Johnsons posted a link to Gadget's piece on the R-slash creepy subreddit. And this is where the video hit the mainstream. The R-Sla-Creepy subreddit jumped on it, tearing the thing apart. trying to decode every frame, and from there, it snowballed.
Starting point is 01:16:25 Hackaday ran a piece on October 16th, and by October 19th, even Daily Dot, Gizmodo, and the Washington Post recovering it. But here's the weird part. Gadgets wasn't actually the first to upload the video. Back on May 9, 2015, months earlier, a post had popped up on 4chan's X paranormal board titled Secret Messages, Aliens, Huh? It linked to a Dropbox file and said, this is a DVD. It's so with some crazy stuff on it. It's a copy of a DVD I found sitting on a park bench.
Starting point is 01:16:56 That same day, it also appeared on YouTube, uploaded by a channel called AETBX. The title was in binary and translated to Birthday or Death. Even the description was binary, which decoded to you have one year less left. By October, when the clip blew up, Reddit went full detective mode. When the audio was run through spectrogram software, it revealed hidden images, including a skull and encoded text buried inside the sound itself. It was written entirely in wingdings. And yeah, at first that sounds goofy, like something you'd see in a 90s word document, not a creepy threat. But it's not about what font they used, it's about what it said. The message read, strike an arrow through the heart of the eagle.
Starting point is 01:17:40 People really started speculating. Was this a threat? Did the eagle mean the United States? And then it got even weirder. In the video, the man's glove was flashing. And when decoded, it turned out to be Morris Code, one of the sequences translated to Red Lips Life 10th, which was later decoded to an anagram for Kill the President. There were also phrases like, you are already dead in the video, which made it all even more disturbing. Other sequences in the video turned out to be geographic coordinates pointing straight to the White House. That discovery only fueled the idea that this was some kind of threat to the U.S. president. The location didn't help ease the fear either. People later tracked it down to an abandoned
Starting point is 01:18:20 sanatorium to Otwok Poland, already the kind of place you wouldn't want to be in, let alone filming cryptic videos and plague doctor masks. The place is a wreck and in the middle of nowhere, which makes it a perfect place to shoot such a video. Even with all the codes and creepy messages cracked, one question still hung over everything. Who was the man in the mask? Some people thought it might actually be Kroc Bikler from gadgets himself. The AETs, bx channel itself added to the mystery. Its name was written in 8-bit binary code that translated to one word, deaf. Even the bio was binary, which decoded to, you have one year less to live. Creepy, sure, but AATBX claims he didn't make the video at all. He said he'd gotten it from a girl
Starting point is 01:19:02 who supposedly found the DVD sitting on a park bench. So, the most likely explanation, he probably just sought on 4chan, uploaded it to YouTube, and wanted to play a classic internet scare game, basically chasing a viral moment rather than hiding some deep, dark conspiracy. Crop Bikler, on the other hand, seemed to be using it mostly just to drive traffic, but there's one big reason people don't think it was him, and it's because of Parker Warner Wright. See, the same video had already shown up on another YouTube channel before the gadget story blew up. On September 30th, 2015, it was uploaded by a channel called Parker Warner Wright, titled 11BX 1371 with a chilling description.
Starting point is 01:19:46 Are You Watching? Parker was actually the third person to post the video online, way before Gadsdits made it famous. Later, he told Krah Beichler in The Daily Dot that he was the creator and that the whole thing was just art, including the fact that Parker had created the mask himself, and that's why people couldn't find the exact one anywhere on the internet or in any store. He also made claims to owning the glove and programming the flashing light set
Starting point is 01:20:11 with an Arduno. Wright told the Daily Dots he was just an American living in Poland, and the whole thing was an art project meant to make people collaborate and think critically. I see my work as waves on the ocean, he said. Some people look for shells in it. Some surf. Others dive. What was the real message behind the video? Did it ever even get delivered? And honestly, we might never know. And before we begin, a quick warning. The following case is based on public speculation and publicly available information. Nothing discussed here has been proven, and no one mentioned should be assumed guilty of any crime. Please do not contact, harass, or investigate anyone named or shown in this piece. This content is for educational,
Starting point is 01:20:59 and documentary purposes only. Let's begin. The Instagram Blue Pages In my search for new stories, I came across this Reddit post. Titled. Dozens of weird Instagram accounts with seemingly random symbols. The poster provides five screenshots of different accounts, each with mysterious blue artwork and drawn symbols. Shapes like eight-pointed stars, circles, spirals, squares with dots, clovers, concentric circles, and each account is following only one other account. another user with another set of strange blue photos, with the same graphics and color schemes. This chain goes on for something like 30 accounts, then the chain circles back.
Starting point is 01:21:51 At first it seems innocuous enough, just some weird AI generated art. But one commenter, just a dude 3x provided a theory. Oof, this might be steganography, and given the context how you found it, you probably should report it. it. Further down, just a dude 3x explains what steganography is. It's basically a random image, but some pixels are slightly changed in color. If you look at it, you see a normal picture, but a software can extract data out of the way the pixels are changed. There might be a different picture, or even video or audio encoded in these pictures. So, the user thinks it should be reported, but why? They seem innocent enough. If the assumption is that these images could be
Starting point is 01:22:42 hiding other content, other images, what are they? Well, I began looking through the 30 accounts, and within a couple of minutes, something felt off. The images weren't AI generated. These were hand-drawn, blue spirals, circles, odd posts that blended a moment. emojis or video play buttons. On post with no art, just a blank white background. I saw 13 likes, 20, 100, 200. In one of the most shocking profiles named Friend de la Pales holds a cryptic message. Reversed, that username reads La Petit Dernier, which translates to the youngest in the family.
Starting point is 01:23:35 On the account, Trois underscore images, which translates to three images. There are only three blue images. Some strange comments written in different languages have odd or disturbing meanings when translated. In Russian, one user writes, A whole year has flown by, and you haven't changed at all. You look great. Do you still remember me? Another in French writes,
Starting point is 01:24:01 The girl's really sexy. Another user comments, three hard-earned. emojis and two clap emojis. But what are they commenting about? The comments don't seem consistent with the seemingly random image. Redditors started coming up with theories about the blue pages. One theory proposed by Bored Frankie seemed to set this mystery to rest. I'm like 99% sure that this is an experimental art exhibition being put on by an individual in place to Fetace by the name of Papi Camillon, which translates to Grandpa. truck, who is known in Paris art scene for having a really wacky truck.
Starting point is 01:24:40 I say this because, at the very bottom of the Instagram account, Marie Jean-Claude, which appears to be the central account, there are a bunch of seemingly normal, at least in comparison pictures of the truck and items inside the truck. Someone, another artist, because again, people in the art scene know him, commented on an old picture. Poppy, is it really you? and he responded confirming that it was. He also says in the other comments that he's doing something experimental.
Starting point is 01:25:13 Looking into Poppy Cameroon, it appears that he's just a dude with an interesting truck. He did an interview with Aidan Zine in 2015 where they write, mind you, this is all translated from French, that he was born in the 1970s and let go progressively over time of unnecessary matters and has only kept a passport, a change of clothes, and a van. And since then, he has been navigating the world as a hermit, sort of a van life situation. Poppy Carmion's truck had been photographed numerous times, such as by this photographer, under addition, and he is widely loved in the art world.
Starting point is 01:25:53 If you go on the hashtag Pami Cameroon or Pappy Cameroon on Instagram, there are dozens of pictures of him in his truck. Many of the posts are of him and hashtags with things like urban art or exhibit and are posted by other artists themselves. In a post under the hashtag Poppy Camran, there's a picture of him standing outside of the truck. The person who posted it is an artist slash photographer slash fashion designer slash whatever, who said they were shooting with Poppy Cameron in some models. A photographer with 40,000 followers who commented on that post in a way that insinuates to them knowing Poppy also follows the Mary Claude Jean account. I found that they've legitimately done shoots together on her website too.
Starting point is 01:26:39 Basically, what I'm saying is that real, successful people know him and follow him on purpose. I think he's probably doing something art-related, perhaps, or is unfortunately suffering from mental illness. I think the likelihood of it being something more sinister is slim. This initially brought me comfort. All of this was just an art exhibition by a popular French artist, but I still couldn't shake a bad gut feeling. So I went to the account titled Mary Claude Jean to see if I could find anything out of the ordinary. Again, more hand-drawn artwork, bright blue and cryptic, the same symbols that persist through all of the accounts were appearing here too.
Starting point is 01:27:25 But this account was different. The stories on Marie-Claude Jean's account were disturbing and weird. There are four videos. Two of them are of a couple playing a ballgame of some sort. The other two videos are of children. Two girls outside of a van as their parents unload the vehicle. After seeing these videos, I came to suspect that maybe this wasn't just an art project and maybe their intentions could be more nefarious. Someone asked how the original poster
Starting point is 01:28:06 had come across these images in the first place, and his explanation was damning. I should add context. I found creepy accounts linked with predatory behavior, and when I looked into this, I found these as well. One account has a highlight of recording children going to their car. It's disgusting. I'm thinking this is something to do with a ring of predators but I don't know anything about it. Looks like the OP had discovered the same videos I had, and his concerns were very clear. According to their speculation, this might have something to do with people attracted to children. So, what does steganography have to do with any of this? The images that could allegedly be hidden inside these coated blue posts, well, if the theory is to be
Starting point is 01:28:56 believed, then these posts might be hiding something more sinister, something the commenters described as sexy and beautiful. Allegedly, Redditors speculate, these images could be hiding cheese pizza, and it doesn't stop at the blue page accounts. See, one commenter, Damn Player 23, did his own research and began investigating even further. Hey, I just did. a deep dive. If you got to their tag posts, there's thousands of accounts, all with thousands of posts. This is extremely disturbing and should be reported to authorities. And the commenter was correct. In my research, I found hundreds, thousands of other users, either following the blue page accounts or tagged in their posts. I began the investigation with one of the blue page accounts,
Starting point is 01:29:53 It's called Noili Pap. But this account specifically had hundreds of tagged images and hundreds of followers, just like the commenter said. So I followed the trail and what I found made me genuinely nauseous, Barbies. Now, this is all suspicious, but not damning in and of itself. There are tons of art accounts on Instagram. Perhaps people have gotten a recommended white image from one of these accounts and thought, wow, what a beautiful piece of modern art. Clap emoji, hard eyes.
Starting point is 01:30:32 Sure, it could all be perfectly innocent, but what if there was something else happening beneath the surface? I wanted more information. And the thousands of photos, most had very few interactions, few comments, few likes, but thousands of followers. In the comments were all suspiciously similar. The commenters used the same emojis, blue hearts, hard eyes, fire emojis, and butterflies. And they all followed Noyipap in one way or another, somewhere down the massive chain. So, what does this all mean? How do emojis do anything to confirm or dismiss the cheese pizza theory?
Starting point is 01:31:22 Couldn't these just be normal art accounts? Well, this could very well be the case, and I wouldn't mention it. If these weren't popular, well-known, child-lover symbols, the color blue, blue hearts, and butterflies, These are well-known codes that government officials and investigators are well aware of. In the past, predators have used these symbols and colors to communicate hidden messages and their tastes. One that caught my attention was the butterfly. The emoji is based on a specific species of butterfly, known as the Papillon. It's famous for its striking blue and black coloring.
Starting point is 01:32:10 but online, it has a secret meaning. To child lovers, it signals that the user has no preference for gender, boys or girls are both accepted. I remembered the account that led me down the rabbit hole in the first place. The one with hundreds of tags and followers, Noily Pap, well, it hit me. Noily Pat backwards is Papillon. Now, I will say this again. All of this could just be art accounts following one another, but all of this together is more than a little suspicious. Down the follower rabbit hole, I landed on an art account and a user going by the name Candy Bacosa.
Starting point is 01:32:58 All of her posts are Barbie themed with dolls and sets that make it look like a fashion designer's Instagram. And although the whole page is incredibly odd, this again is a bit more. and proof that there's anything weird going on. But the Papillon Butterfly was a prevalent symbol in her account description. That, and she was a frequent commenter on the Blue Pages Posts. So once again, I came to suspect that even these images weren't just images, and I began to dig deeper. On her story, I found a photo of two Barbie dolls lying in the grass, skirts up, revealing their underwear, it began to remind me of another Instagram account, one more prolific, disgusting, and
Starting point is 01:33:47 disturbing. Smart Schoolboy 9 was one of the most infamous and unsettling Instagram accounts ever uncovered in 2024. He was a child lover. People believed Smart School Boy 9 was part of a much larger problem. Similar child lover pages communicating through the supposed artistic expression, and His followers, when investigated, were often just as interested in childish fantasies. A couple of years ago, his page was taken down after mass attention and scrutiny, but even when
Starting point is 01:34:22 it disappeared, copies and clones began to surface, accounts with similar names, reposted content, and identical aesthetics. This disgusting man, sadly, had some fans. In the blue page accounts and the mass of followers, and the mass of followers. I discovered. It felt eerily similar. And that's when I came across a comment, one that had drawn a startling comparison themselves. The user writes, recent comment on the page called account, I'm not going to read it out, a user commented, Bro likes to diddle kids, and today responded to another user saying, for context, this guy was mutuals with smart schoolboy
Starting point is 01:35:10 It's really old speculation that they were up to no good. Welcome to the thread. An alleged connection between the Blue Pages and Smart Schoolboy 9, a known predator. But I couldn't find any recorded proof that this is true, so take it with a grain of salt. But it doesn't end there. Let's go back to the Instagram Blue Page accounts.
Starting point is 01:35:34 As I was collecting screenshots from these accounts, I noticed a recurring pattern. certain symbols were repeated over and over again, the Clover, the square with dots, the circles, and I noticed that especially on Noly Pop's account, they weren't just random. They were laid out in grids. Some of them even looked like code.
Starting point is 01:35:57 To me, it looked like a cryptogram, messages written in code, and they could be seen across all of the blue page accounts. So I screenshoted the images and submitted them to a picture. an AI because I'm not a cryptographer to see if the program could find some code hidden within the images. And it did. The AI determined yes, this was in fact a substitution cryptogram. A substitution cryptogram is when letters or numbers are replaced by images or symbols. If you carefully analyze the patterns, you can determine what the coded messages are.
Starting point is 01:36:36 Now, this is AI we're talking about, and this could very well be an overzealous program looking for patterns that aren't there. But the message it provided made the whole thing that much more interesting. The codex is as follows. Target, circle plus cross hair is T, plus is E, six petal rosette slash flower is O, Clover slash forelobe is S, eight point stars A, 4 small corner dot is F, quartered circle is C, single outline squares N, stacked slash overlapping squares is H, often also used as space, circle with a center dot is I, a large X is K, circle
Starting point is 01:37:24 containing a small square is D, three by three grid squares are, plain circle is usually O, circle with diagonal slash is U. and the four words that allegedly repeat over and over across the account to see, click, save. If we were to speculate for a moment, if this were truly cheese pizza, and that's a big if, a big if, how might prospective predators access the alleged photos? They'd have to get the images out of the artwork somehow, right? Well, how might they do that? Well, they'd need to buy a program, some sort of software to decode the images and pull out the real image and follow the instructions provided.
Starting point is 01:38:12 When I was 16, two people from my high school were caught with tens of thousands of inappropriate young photos. They happened years apart from one another, and they're both in jail. One, a student, the other a teacher. And I've always wondered for years. how people get caught with so much cheese pizza? Where are they getting it from? The dark web.
Starting point is 01:38:41 How are they accessing so much content without getting caught? It can't be that easy to get content like this. And especially thousands of images? How do they go years and years without getting caught? If the theory on Reddit about the blue pages is correct, then the answer would be simple. They wouldn't need to dig. to get what they wanted.
Starting point is 01:39:05 It wouldn't be some dark web backroom or content locked behind a password. It could be right there. On the surface web, hidden in plain sight, on your Instagram feed. It's entirely possible that this could be something
Starting point is 01:39:24 much, much worse than an art project. A multinational open-air marketplace for child lovers. looking to buy and distribute disgusting photos and videos, and it might be happening right on Instagram, the most popular photo sharing app to date. But it's also possible that this is all just an art project. And frankly, I don't know what's true.
Starting point is 01:39:53 There's just not enough information to make an actual case for either theory about the Instagram blue pages. This is all speculative. There is no actual proof, only alleged evidence, and supposed connections drawn that could admittedly be wrong. Regardless, the Instagram Blue Pages has become one of the most weird, unsettling, and mysterious stories I've ever covered. And in all honesty, I'm the first YouTuber to cover this. and I'm very curious as to what it truly means. The 4chan murders.
Starting point is 01:40:38 4chan is an image board website modeled after the Japanese site, 2chan. The site is divided into boards dedicated to different topics, ranging from anime, video games, and technology to politics, fitness, and adult content. Its B-board, which serves as the random content thread, is especially notorious for. for shock content, trolling, and depraved media. On the 21st of August, 2015, an untitled thread was started on 4chan's random board. The user began the post with a short paragraph. I have killed several women for pleasure. If you can guess a name, I will upload a picture. If you can guess a name of any of these women, I will upload their photo. No more than 10 names per
Starting point is 01:41:29 post. Any more than that will be ignored. Some are Polaroids and others were taken with a disposable camera. I also have pictures of them before death when I was able to do so. If you guess all of the names, I will show you where I dumped a body in 1999. The first one is free, as her name is unlikely to be guessed. The user then posted an image, which showed a young woman's graduation photo. mid-20s with curly black hair and a big smile. Next to it, a photo of a presumably dead woman, lying prone and covered in blood, with a striking resemblance to the woman in the graduation photograph,
Starting point is 01:42:17 and below a handwritten timestamp on a piece of paper, provided by the user to prove its authenticity. The first photo had the date August 21st, 2005, written as the timestamp. Naturally, most users suspected this was a cruel hoax or a joke. After all, what are the odds a serial killer would post these images, possibly incriminating himself? It seemed beyond belief, and given the site's history of hoaxes and shock content, it was more likely some loser had staged the photos to get a rise out of use. But some people played along. They started to guess names. And one of them was correct.
Starting point is 01:43:08 The killer replied, wow, off to a great start. Incredible. I fixed the timestamp. My mistake. And then with it another photo. Another woman's body. This time much more graphic. The corpse was completely naked, legs spread, judging by the state of decay she had been dead for some time. Below the photo, a corrected timestamp, reading August 21st, 2015, the exact date of posting. Shortly after, the killer shared another photo, presumably of the same victim. this time stuffed into a cardboard box, her legs sticking out from it, and her arms twisted unnaturally. This is from before I played with her.
Starting point is 01:44:07 He then posted another photo of the woman, before being killed. This photo was taken by the killer. She was lying in bed, smiling at the camera. Accompanning this photo was yet another photo. of her corpse. Needless to say, this unsensible content was immediately flagged by 4chan. In just 20 minutes after the initial thread was created, it was taken down by moderators and all of the original content was lost. Except for the fact that one anonymous user took screenshots, all of the photos were subject to a reverse image search, which then revealed that none of the images, not a single
Starting point is 01:44:53 one had been ever posted before. These images had not originated online. They were originals, which meant that, although they had hoped otherwise, this was no hoax. This was, in fact, a serial killer. A user asked the question, how could you get these photos developed with a disposable camera? It's required to alert the police to anything weird going to. going on in any photo that is developed. The killer replied, I developed them. If this was true, it would mean the killer had access to a dark room, but this seemed odd. Someone in 2015, having access to a personal dark room to develop disposable camera photos
Starting point is 01:45:43 was unlikely. It wasn't impossible, but it brought up more questions than answers. Users contacted the FBI and made them aware of the thread, but in the meantime, all they could do was wait. Then, a month later, to the shock of the users invested in the case, the anonymous poster returned to 4chan. August 22nd, 2015. A picture of a nude male victim, covered in blood.
Starting point is 01:46:20 The photo had a strip of white paper over it, covering the victim's eyes, presumably to hide his identity. He's presumably sitting up in bed, shielding his face, leading users to believe he was still alive when the photograph was taken, badly injured. He might have been trying to defend himself. Regardless, the caption read, Dine, Dine. In just seven minutes later, the user posted another photo of the man. This time, the caption simply read, dead. He then posted an image of a man presumably himself wearing a red ski mask in sunglasses, pointing a shotgun at the camera.
Starting point is 01:47:11 Then he wrote his final message. I'll be back in a month to finish our game. If it is not this exact timestamp within a moment, updated date, it is not me. Though users waited for more updates from the killer, he never posted to 4chan again, and he has not been heard from since. In the second post, behind the photograph of the man, there is another photograph of a young woman, covered in blood, wearing a black bra and tattered clothes, lying on similar white sheets to a man. Upon inspection, I have determined this is the same woman from the original post.
Starting point is 01:47:52 She's wearing the same clothes as the first victim, a brown threaded shirt in dark pants. This means that not only are all of these photos original, but there are multiple photos of the victims more than were ever posted. Now this is a startling revelation. This was not the work of someone attempting to shock users with Faw crime scene photos. If so, why not post all of the photographs?
Starting point is 01:48:22 Why not show us the full breadth of the depravity? In my opinion, this was the work of someone posting individual photos, hand-curated, to play a game without getting caught. After the original post was made, news reporters contacted local police. After online slews identified the first victim by her graduation photo. The victim was Shauna Maynard, a runaway who was shot dead in 1998. The police attributed the post to a hoax, though they would not elaborate. They stated a lack of evidence in that there was no merit to the case.
Starting point is 01:49:06 Shauna's killer has never been caught, and to this day, it is an unsolved case. So, is it possible? that she was killed by the 4chan user then later dumped and shot to cover the actual cause of death, or was Shauna a red herring, posted simply to throw the online investigation off, send them on a wild goose chase without ever revealing the actual victim? Once again, without more information, there seemed to be more questions than answers. And although there have been attempts made to identify the other victims, that there have been no more confirmed identifications.
Starting point is 01:49:48 To this day, the true identity of the 4chan killer remains unknown. No one has ever been arrested in connection with these disturbing posts, and no law enforcement agency has confirmed whether the posts were authentic, staged, or stolen. Today, all that remains are the screenshots. grainy fragments of horrific scenes debated in late-night forums and although users haven't given up on identifying the victims or finding the killer there has been no ground made in a very long time so imagine it's 2012 and you're watching youtube you've watched hours of epic rap battles smosh and replayed gangdom style a couple of times before you log off of the night you come across one one more viral video. It's on a seemingly innocent channel.
Starting point is 01:51:02 Little Baby's Ice Cream. The thumbnail shows a person covered in ice cream. And the video has a whopping 22 million views. So it's bound to be interesting. And well, it is. Within five seconds, anyone watching this is for sure to be freaked out. This person has their eyes open as wide as possible. like bulging out of their head, not blinking at all.
Starting point is 01:51:31 As the ice cream drips down their face, they scoop it off and into their mouth. All while they stare into your soul. Then in the back, some creepy music that's being played in reverse. The video is an ad for a legit company, but the whole thing is downright weird. And oh boy, it's about to get even more strange. When seven years later, someone resurfaced the video, well, recreating it rather, putting a disturbing spin on it. January 5th, 2018.
Starting point is 01:52:08 The first one of these emerges. It's a 34-second clip of an edited version of the ad, posted on a channel called Kinky Little Couple, with the title, People Are Dying, One, Two. The creepiness is taken to a whole. new level everything is slowed down and the ice cream person now has all of their features removed they're now just a white animation in front of a purple background there's music playing if you can even call it music it more sounds like someone's stomach grumbling or some sort of weird internal noise i don't know that's the best way to describe it and it's slowed down and really really freaky in its menacing, ominous, and honestly terrifying.
Starting point is 01:53:00 Here, give it a listen for a few seconds and just feel how unsettling this entire clip is. And yeah, like I said, disturbing. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. This channel has 217 videos, all posted in early 2018. There's a lot of videos that are very, of that ice cream video. Some are pretty much the same, just different lengths and colors, but then one pops up that literally sent shivers down my spine. It starts out the same, but then there's a deep guttural moaning in the background.
Starting point is 01:54:19 It's drawn out. You can't really tell if it's trying to say something or not. It's almost like trying to hear the last words of a dying man. but just as you think it's nothing, then it cuts to black. The video is over. Nothing else. No explanation. No hint as to who Clementine is.
Starting point is 01:54:51 And why someone is demanding her murder. And by the way, all of these clips have less than a thousand views. The one I just showed you had like 15 views, which makes it even more unsettling because nobody is watching these videos. I don't know who it's meant for or any. anything like that and for these just to be so underground and for no one to even know they exist just makes it that much more unsettling it feels like i'm not supposed to be watching it and the questions i have just get bigger and bigger it's not just the ice cream videos and it's not just
Starting point is 01:55:26 this channel there's four channels that seem to be from the same creator i want to die Tim Frank's Ben Knox and the original kinky little couple. All of them post very similar content. Besides the ice cream ads, there's probably 50 videos of clips from J.J's Jetplane, an animated children's TV show from the 90s. The show by itself is innocent and wholesome, but of course, these aren't normal clips.
Starting point is 01:56:01 They've altered the color, and everything is pixelated and blurry. All you see is a cartoon playing with a smile flying around as an animated man watches him motionless. He almost looks like a toy soldier. And again, that deep, dark, and menacing background noise. And to top it all off, covering everything, are bold letters that read, I'm watching you now. It looks like it's from someone's nightmare.
Starting point is 01:56:32 And to be honest, guys, while I was researching this video and honestly recording this right now, I have never felt so unsettled and disturbed by a single YouTube channel that I have from this one. All of the videos are just so nightmarish. They are so terrifying, and I have covered numerous internet topics and some of the most disturbing things on the internet. And for some reason, this channel is just freaking me the fuck out. But let's continue. Then another common video found is a British animated PSA against illegal material involving minors. This one isn't edited in a similar fashion. Nothing is slowed down and there's no deep voice in the background.
Starting point is 01:57:17 Obviously though, it's incredibly weird that this channel is posting a PSA of this nature. It doesn't feel random. It feels intentional. In fact, the whole thing feels very careful. calculated. When first looking at all of these channels, it may not seem like that at the first glance. It's hundreds of videos that look the same. It must be some bored, weird kid who discovered iMovie. I mean, that's an easy answer, but they're not all the same. In fact, they're usually different, even if it's in small ways. Why only some of them? It's like a puzzle, a never-ending puzzle. Because whoever this is doesn't stop at you.
Starting point is 01:58:02 There's Pinterest and VMO accounts under the name Kinky Little Couple and a WordPress blog. The content here is different. One VMO account posts short clips of a solid colored background that slowly changes color as it goes on. That's it. No words. No sound. Nothing at all.
Starting point is 01:58:26 The other account posts clips from a Britons got talent audition from 2014. The original video is very heartwarming. An 80-year-old woman and a younger man blow the audience away with their salsa dance. But of course, they had to make it weird. Again, they've disordered the color and also put it through some filters, so it looks like you're watching it through a fun house mirror. They've taken audio clips from the performance, but it makes it sound haunted and unsettling.
Starting point is 01:58:55 Like, you have no idea if you're listening to music or someone screaming under distress. and then there's the Word Press blog. The main header says, Kinky Little Couple, but the blog itself is called Dead End with a bunch of random numbers at the end. It's one page, but they've packed in as much as they can on it.
Starting point is 01:59:17 It starts out with some stock photos of a happy family, but as you scroll down, it's one picture after another of random old people. There's nothing wrong with these pictures. but why? Some of them are really goofy, like old women making silly faces. In any other context,
Starting point is 01:59:39 it'd be totally fine, but this blog post isn't just stock images. There's one post, if you can call it that. It reads, I found you, everything is over, good company makes the way seem shorter, Isaac Walton.
Starting point is 01:59:57 At this point, all of this seems so jumbled. Where some see heroes and others see egos. Bloomberg sees the era of billionaire athletes. A fad to some,
Starting point is 02:00:11 the future of money to others. We see crypto's trillion dollar swings. The end of jobs or the end of human struggle. We see the endless funds fueling the AI hype. While others follow the noise, we follow the money.
Starting point is 02:00:29 Learn more. more at Bloomberg.com. Like, nothing makes sense. It's all a bunch of bullshit trying to scare people. And finding an answer almost starts to feel hopeless. But then there's the Pinterest accounts. And at first, it seems like the same random shit with the same kinky little couple repeated everywhere.
Starting point is 02:00:51 Again, pictures of old people, but also lots of animals, hairstyle ideas and recipes. It's so close to being a normal Pinterest account. But of course, it's not. No. On one of the accounts, the bio says there is no excuse for SA. And the account username is Stop Abusing Young Girls.
Starting point is 02:01:17 Finally, it feels like there's a clue. A clue as to what the point of all of this is. Well, it doesn't feel like a stretch to assume a kinky little couple could be an actual adult content creator. So finding that out feels like the next step. Looking on the more popular adult film platforms, I didn't see an account with that name, but some videos attached to it. Going further through, I found tons of videos on one site that uploads stolen material from an adult content creator woman, so again, no actual account, but all of the videos are tagged as kinky little couple.
Starting point is 02:01:59 So there are real people behind the name. It's most likely this girl had an account years ago, but deleted it at some point. Now all that's left is pirated on other sites. But who is she? Well, one user on Reddit found a post on a website that reads, quote, I was thinking of posting a few people I would love to spend one day with,
Starting point is 02:02:21 but to be honest, I only need two. I'm sure a lot of you haven't heard of her. maybe you have, but kinky little couple's Anna. She's a beautiful, extremely cute, sweet, lovable, perfect angel to die for. So is kinky little couple Anna? Well, the comments say otherwise. Comments from people that have been digging into this.
Starting point is 02:02:45 There are posts on Reddit that claim they found the original kinky little couple account on the way back archive, and there was more information about her, that she was an art student, and that her name is Clementine? Well, wait. You heard that right. Clementine.
Starting point is 02:03:03 The girl, that voice in the video, wants dead. But what's frustrating is that I can't actually see this vital piece of info. Looking up exactly what other users looked up months ago only shows the pirated content, not the page on the Wayback Machine. But at the bottom of the search on Google, it does say this. This, quote, in response to multiple complaints we received under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed three results from this page. When clicking on one complaint, I see that it was made shortly after these videos started to resurface and gain attention on Reddit. So is the archived account gone?
Starting point is 02:03:47 Well, it seems like it. And that's the only verifiable proof of her name. Well, whoever found that name connected to a kinky little couple lets the user on the website know posting, quote, How do you know her name is Anna? People are saying her name is Clementine, which is a great question. Where did this user even get the idea that her name is Anna? Is there more information that's also being hidden?
Starting point is 02:04:13 Well, another comment. Quote, she was forced into doing adult content stuff. She was R-worded, abused, and was locked into her apartment for days. She later committed S-word. But hey, I'm glad your tiny private part feels good. All of these weird, bizarre, and unsettling accounts, is there a victim behind all of it? An innocent girl in need of help?
Starting point is 02:04:43 I mean, a comment on a random website for a bunch of perves isn't exactly evidence, but it's horrifying to think about. And that commenter isn't the only one sharing this. There are multiple posts on Not Safe for Work subredits that are looking for kinky little couple but can't find any of the videos. Users comment, quote, be aware, not only was that girl a minor, but she later committed S word because of the abuse she was put through by that dude. Someone else says, oh, she commended S word.
Starting point is 02:05:20 The guy in this forced all this on her and abused the hell out of her. She was a good friend of mine. Both made by different accounts. One made a year before any of the YouTube videos or anything was released. So, I don't know. Three comments about this girl being abused? Hundreds and hundreds of disturbing videos. a blog with a threatening message.
Starting point is 02:05:47 There's something so off about all of this. Of course, the people invested in this have tons of theories. Some say that it's an ARG or that it's a real couple trying to cover up their intimate history. These do make sense in some ways, but they don't explain everything. At some point with an ARG, the creator reveals what it was. All of this was posted over seven years ago. and that hasn't happened. And if it was this couple trying to deflect attention off their adult film content,
Starting point is 02:06:22 it didn't really work. Everything is so terrifying and absurd that, of course, people are going to look into it. And then eventually they end up on a video they were trying to hide. I mean, it's horrific to think that there could be something evil behind all of this, but there's so many signs that point to that. Besides the obvious fact that there are multiple people saying she's been abused, it's even in the YouTube videos. In the PSA for illegal material involving minors, the narrator starts out the video by saying, quote, The pictures I look at, the children are smiling, I don't get it when I hear people talk about abuse.
Starting point is 02:07:03 Someone might think that when watching Clementine in her videos, she behaves like a normal adult film star. acting out all the things that, you know, adult film stars do. But that doesn't mean that everything's okay. In fact, this could be said for anyone working in adult films, especially young women. Of course, anyone who watches this content wants to believe that everything is consensual and appropriate, but that's just not the case. Many women go into the industry as a last resort or coergent of some kind, and as many as nine in ten adult films contain violence in some way,
Starting point is 02:07:45 it's only inevitable to think that in that environment, someone is being abused. So no, it doesn't seem like a stretch that kinky little couple, Clementine, whatever you want to call her, could be in trouble. The question is more of, who's behind all of this? Is it a stalker, the other person in the couple, or Clementine herself crying out for help? It seems sort of unlikely that it's Clementine herself, but it could be considering how much attention this is brought to her.
Starting point is 02:08:17 But it seems more likely that there's someone behind this who has some obsession with her, and they're expressing it in this morbid, terrifying way. Or, like a lot of people are suggesting, it's nothing at all. It's some weirdo trying to get the internet worked up and people are falling right into it. And I can only hope it's as simple as that. TikTok is home to thousands and thousands of videos,
Starting point is 02:08:51 including Get Ready With Me's, lip-sinking, and dance challenges, or commentary on current events. It's the place so many spend hours doomed scrolling before bed, but occasionally, when someone is in too deep on the app, they go beyond their usual harmless videos. They end up on the weird, freaky, and strange side of their algorithm. And once you're there, you're not sure how to get off.
Starting point is 02:09:17 This is what happens when users stumble upon an account like GECA 112.1 example com 2. And I'm just going to call them GECA for short. Watching their first couple of videos, nothing seems too out of the ordinary. It seems like it's just a normal account run by a Russian user. The first video is someone filming a man sleeping on a couch and another man fixing a toilet. Based on Google Translate, they seem to only talk about the repair on the toilet. Just another random TikTok video. But things get unsettling the more you watch.
Starting point is 02:09:57 The second video is an older man in a pretty much bare room, except for a couch in the corner. The audio in the back is an electronic dance song, something you might hear at a rave. The video is cut up clips of this guy dancing, which I guess seems unsuspicious on the surface, but not if you rewatch a couple of times. He looks exhausted. Like he doesn't really know what he's doing. I don't know. He just looks out of it.
Starting point is 02:10:29 But the more that I look at this account, I start to see that this video is nothing compared to some, others that they've posted. The dancing continues, but it stops being just a feeling that something is off. There is definitely something wrong. It's not just that man anymore. There are a couple different reoccurring people. Sometimes they're dancing or sometimes they're just sitting, talking, or eating. More often than not, one is dancing and others are in the background. Here's one example that shows how creepy this is. Two men are dancing along to a Russian song. One of the guys seems relatively normal, maybe just a little awkward.
Starting point is 02:11:15 But then the other guy, there's something wrong with the other guy. He has a blonde wig on, a bra painted on his chest, and underwear over his pants. It could point to a unique way of self-expressing, but I highly doubt it. it because there's also this girl in the back sitting on a wooden chair. She's staring off at the corner, almost like she's trying to avoid looking at the men in front of her. She looks absolutely miserable. She doesn't want to be there. That much is obvious. It makes the whole thing look staged, put together like an act. And if this girl doesn't want to be there, do either of these guys? It sounds crazy, but
Starting point is 02:12:01 it feels more realistic the more I look at this account. In some videos, they have buckets over their heads or words painted on their body, and they either look uncomfortable in the background or they're in the front dancing, but look spaced out. Like, they're not all there. At this point, viewers are confused. The comments are filled with concern. Someone says,
Starting point is 02:12:27 I've said this so many times. I don't think they are okay. But how do we do something about it? Someone else says, this is that house of horrors vibe. Anyone looking into it? And another says, makes me wonder what he's making them do off camera. Users want to help these people immediately. It's not just the tired looks, the forced dancing, in the weird clothes.
Starting point is 02:12:51 Because if you look closely, these people don't look healthy. Many are covered in bruises. some looking very severe. They're along their faces, their heads, or parts of their body, yet everyone in the videos pretends like everything is fine. They just keep going, swaying to the music, barely conscious or standing up, spacing out as the camera watches them.
Starting point is 02:13:22 It's inhumane to film someone in that state. Or worse, to force them. to do this. That's not all that's being forced though. In some videos people started noticing what they're eating. Sometimes it's normal things like I notice them having grapes or often they drink beer. But other times they have bowls in front of them filled with cat food, cat kibble, the dry brown tasteless meal that we give to animals. These poor bruised up and bone-tired people are not only forced to dance for TikTok, but also to eat cat food? It's beyond sickening. But thank God users were catching on. They're going insane in the comments, trying to figure
Starting point is 02:14:11 out ways to contact authorities in Russia and get this shut down. But then some figure out what's going on. And it's not so simple. Because these videos are a part of a larger group of videos in Russia, Poland and Ukraine. It's called trash streaming. It's basically a genre of live streaming where creators will have themselves or someone else do crazy, humiliating, or dangerous behavior in order to get a lot of views. This has led to incredibly tragic incidents, some resulting in death. There was one streamer who was just sick. He poured cold water over his girlfriend's head, locked her up, outside on the balcony just her underwear and left her to die of hypothermia. Then, like the disgusting human he is, he filmed her dead body after he just murdered her for
Starting point is 02:15:08 views. So that's what these people are dealing with. Whoever is filming them as a part of this trash streaming culture and they're forcing these innocent people to do these horrible things to get likes and donations. They are raking in money on their suffering. There's an article circulating on Reddit that talks about some of these extreme trash streaming incidents, including something that happened with the people in these videos. One of the older men was paid to drank an excessive amount of vodka during a live stream. His name was Yuri Dushekin. It's not clear exactly how much he was forced to drink, but it was enough to kill him. He passed away shortly after that. And who knows how long the stream was,
Starting point is 02:15:54 but looking at some of the TikToks, people can see timestamps on the laptop of the person behind the camera. Sometimes they'll have been going for 24 hours straight. A whole day without breaks, only given cat food and vodka, forced to dance for hours and hours in humiliating clothing and body paint.
Starting point is 02:16:16 There is speculation that these people are homeless, possibly living in poverty, and doing this for housing, and food in return. Whether that's the case or not, it's still despicable. Everyone is deserving of food and shelter. It shouldn't have to be forced into humiliation and dangerous conditions in order to have them. It's diabolical.
Starting point is 02:16:43 Exploiting these people for money, it's beyond cruel. And it's heartbreaking to think that these people may never have gotten help. Many of the trash streamers don't get convicted. And I have a feeling whoever's behind this is no different. In a couple of videos, there's a paper on the wall with a YouTube channel name. The channel's videos are all in Russian, so it's hard to get an idea of what's happening, but it seems to be more podcast-style videos much different than the TikTok account. But still, it seems whoever was behind Gecka is also behind this channel.
Starting point is 02:17:17 And while the last TikTok was posted four years ago in 2022, the last YouTube video was posted seven months ago in June of 2025. So, nothing happened. The monster abusing these people in the videos was never punished. Trash streaming started to lose its popularity in 2022, which not coincidentally is when the TikTok video stopped. And then the creator just went about their life and moved on to making different things. But what happened to the victims?
Starting point is 02:17:49 Well, years later, no one knows. Were there more deaths that we aren't aware of? Were they just abandoned or thrown out into the street? Discarded when they weren't needed anymore? I hope they got out and found a much better life. A peaceful life where they didn't need to stay up for days, forced to entertain an audience that pays to watch their agony. And hopefully, whoever is behind Gecka 1202 example,
Starting point is 02:18:19 2 doesn't make another scent off those videos
