Unit 731 & Treeman

WEBVTT
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.240
Hey besties! Welcome to Plot Business and Punchlines.
00:00:02.319 --> 00:00:03.600
I'm Steph, and I'm Mel.
00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:05.679
Two best friends here to distract you from the world.
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:11.039
Join us each week while we both dive into a new conspiracy theory we saw this week and give our questionable takes on them.
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:14.240
So grab your blanket, your coffee, and your emotional support from this.
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:16.559
And let's get into today's episode.
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:17.600
Hello.
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:22.480
We're from uh five minutes ago.
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:23.839
You don't know that though.
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:24.480
Well, actually, you do.
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:25.440
We said that last episode.
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:26.640
So you you definitely do.
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:27.920
We made it pretty obvious.
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:31.359
I like that you deleted Eidma Bark immediately.
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:36.399
It wasn't racially motivated, okay?
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:38.079
Anyway, hi.
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:43.840
This week I am going to be starting.
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:48.479
I don't think we have anything to talk about at the beginning because we literally just talked a second ago.
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:49.039
Yeah.
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:49.439
Yeah.
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:50.479
I don't think so.
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:52.320
I think we can just get right into it.
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:53.280
Also, I don't know.
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:54.479
Uh, this is kind of fun.
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:57.039
Um, my favorite band is Sleep Token.
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:07.519
And Jason has made it his life's mission to make sure that I have literally everything that Jason.
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:13.439
Jason has made it his life's mission to make sure that I have literally everything.
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:15.760
Oh my god, I can't believe I just did that.
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:17.519
Please spend all my money.
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:18.799
Jesus.
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:21.200
I don't know if you can actually see anything.
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:24.000
I just kept looking and I'm like, she's she's not.
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:24.719
I am.
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:25.519
I want.
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:27.439
Oh my god.
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:33.599
For anyone not watching the video, um, I just flashed my debit card numbers to the video.
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:36.079
It won't be in the video, so don't try anything.
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:37.359
It will not be in the video.
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:39.840
It will be cropped out or edited out.
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:45.840
All I wanted to do was show you that Jason got me like credit card stickers.
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:46.799
That's so cute.
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:48.719
That have the sleep token on it.
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:50.560
And I think so beautiful.
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:53.359
Anyway, let's get into today's episode.
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:55.760
I can't believe I did that.
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:57.040
Actually, I can.
00:01:57.359 --> 00:01:57.840
I can.
00:01:58.000 --> 00:01:59.359
I can believe that.
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:03.840
All right, let me get to my notes.
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:09.919
So last week we talked about MKUltra and their horrible human experimentations.
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:10.639
Yes.
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:16.800
This week we're gonna talk about Japan and their horrible human exp uh experimentations.
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:17.439
Oh good.
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:32.800
Yes, and this um we're gonna be talking about unit 731 and unit 731 and Project Artichoke happened at the same time.
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:34.639
Oh yes.
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:39.439
So worldwide we people are being ones doing it.
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:40.240
Ha ha.
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:42.240
Nope.
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:49.280
But remember where some of our concentration camps or or detention centers were, the detainment centers?
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:51.520
Where we like put them in other places?
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:52.719
One of them was Japan.
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:53.199
Really?
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:55.439
I did not know that.
00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:01.360
Unit 731, officially known as I'm just gonna apologize right now.
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:03.199
This is in Japan.
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:04.240
Names.
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:05.840
I know exactly what it is.
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:07.680
I am not Japanese.
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:08.080
Yeah.
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:09.599
I have never been to Japan.
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:16.240
I am going to pronounce 100% of these names wrong, and I apologize sincerely.
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:19.520
I'm very, very, very sorry from the beginning.
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:26.159
Um and also trigger warning for everything.
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:28.319
Just in general.
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:33.360
Just if you think it might be a trigger warning, I'm probably gonna talk about it.
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:34.639
Okay, great.
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:52.479
Unit 731, officially known as the Manchu Detachment 731, and also referred to as Camo Detachment and the Ishii Unit, was a secret research facility operated by the Imperial Japanese Army between 1933 and 1945.
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:58.159
It was located in Pingfeng district of Harbin.
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.680
That was the most American way I could have said that.
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:02.560
I'm sorry.
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:09.759
In the Japanese puppet state Manchukoyu, now part of Northeast China.
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:10.319
Okay.
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:15.360
And maintained multiple branches across mainland China and Southeast Asia.
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:28.720
The Empire of Japan initiated its biological weapons program during the 1930s due to the prohibition of the biological weapons and interstate conflicts by the Geneva Protocol in 1925.
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:33.839
They reasoned that the ban implied their efficiency as weapons.
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:42.319
Japan's occupation of Manchuria began in 1931 after the Japanese invasion of Manchuria.
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:47.199
I I can hear my white voice saying it and I'm cringing inside.
00:04:48.079 --> 00:05:07.759
Japan decided to build Unit 731 in Manchuria because the occupation not only gave the Japanese an advantage of separating the research station from their island, but also gave them access to many Jap Chinese individuals as they wanted to use for test subjects.
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:10.639
So Japan and China are fighting.
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:11.439
Forever.
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:12.240
Okay.
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:12.720
Yeah.
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:14.000
They've always been fighting.
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:14.800
There's okay.
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:16.240
Yeah, they're still not gotcha.
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:17.360
Still not cool.
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:18.240
Nope.
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:20.000
You're gonna find out why.
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:20.879
Okay.
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:25.519
Yeah, no, uh, China and Japan never really don't get along.
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:25.759
Okay.
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:26.959
Been close.
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:37.759
Um they viewed the Chinese as no cost assets and hoped this ready supply of test subjects would give them a competitive advantage in the biological warfare.
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:38.399
Jeez.
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:44.079
Most of the victims were Chinese, but many victims were also of different nationalities.
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:49.759
These facilities contained more than just medical research and experimentation areas.
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:55.600
They also included spaces for detaining victims, essentially functioning as prisons as well.
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:06.959
The research and experimentation rooms were constructed around the detention area, allowing research to conduct their daily work while monitoring the prisoners.
00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:22.879
Founded in 1933, Unit 731 expanded to include 3,000 staff members, 150 structures, and the capacity to detain up to 600 prisoners concurrently for experimentational purposes.
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:23.839
Wow.
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:38.560
Unit 731 was the first of several covert units established as offshoots of the research lab, serving as field station and experimentational sites to advantage to advance biological warfare techniques.
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:53.759
Under the direction of Shiro Ishii, the Epidemic Prevention Research Laboratory was established following his return from a two-year exploration of American and European research institutions.
00:06:54.560 --> 00:07:01.920
With the endorsement of high-ranking military officials, it was established for the purpose of developing biological weapons.
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:12.399
Ishii aimed to create biological weapons with humans as their intended victims, and Unit 731 was formed specifically to pursue this objective.
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:21.199
Ishii organized a secret research group, the Togo Unit, for chemical and biological oper experimentation in Manchuria.
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:21.920
Wow.
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:27.439
In 1936, and again, trigger warnings for it all.
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:41.920
In 1936, Emperor Hirohito issued a decree authorizing the expansion of the unit and its interrogation to the Quantong Army as the Epidemic Prevention Department.
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:52.879
It was divided at that time to the Ishii Unit and the Wakamatasu Unit with a base in Xingjin.
00:07:53.279 --> 00:08:06.480
From 1940 on, the units were known collectively as the Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department of the Kwantong Army or Unit 741 for short.
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:24.560
Unit Togo was set into motion in the Zongma Fortress, a prison and experimentation camp in Bianchi, a village 100 kilometers or 62 miles south of Harbin on the South Manchara Railway.
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:37.840
The prisoners brought to Zhangma included common criminals, captured bandits, and anti-Japanese partisans, as well as political prisoners and people rounded up on false charges by the compete.
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:41.200
So like the Japanese Nazis?
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:41.759
Yeah.
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:42.159
No.
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:53.759
Prisoners were generally well fed on a diet of rice or wheat, meat, fish, and occasionally even alcohol in order to be a normal health at the beginning of the experiments.
00:08:54.799 --> 00:09:01.279
Then over several days, prisoners were eventually drained of blood and deprived of nutrients and water.
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:04.240
Their deteriorating health was recorded.
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:07.039
Some were also vissected.
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.840
Others were deliberately infected with plague bacteria and other microbes.
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:26.399
A prison break in the autumn of 1934, which jeopardized the facility's secrecy and an explosion in 1935, which was believed to be by sabotage, led Ishii to shut down the Zongma fortress.
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:38.159
He then received authorization to relocate to Pingfeng, approximately 24 kilometers or 15 miles south of Harbin, to establish a new, much larger facility.
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:39.600
Drain their blood?
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:40.159
Yes.
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:40.639
Ew.
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:56.240
The military police and the special service agency were responsible for locating victims to serve as test subjects for the unit, while a group of physicians was tasked with maintaining the health of victims and dispatching them for experimentation.
00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:12.960
Human experiments involved intentionally infecting captives, particularly Chinese prisoners of war and civilians with disease-causing agents and exposing them to bombs designed to disperse infectious substances upon contact with the skin.
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:17.200
There are no records indicating any survivors from these experiments.
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:21.840
Those who did not die from infection were murdered for autopsy analysis.
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:23.039
Oh my god.
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:31.039
After human experimentations, researchers commonly used either potassium cyanide or chlorofoam to kill survivors.
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:32.639
That's crazy.
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:33.759
That's horrible.
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:37.519
According to American historian Sheldon H.
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:44.480
Harris, the Togo unit employed gruesome tactics to secure specimens of select body organs.
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:52.399
If Ishii or one of his coworkers wished to do research on the human brain, they would order the guards to find them a useful sample.
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:59.440
A prisoner would be taken from a cell, guards would hold him down while another guard would smash the victim's head open with an axe.
00:10:59.919 --> 00:11:05.759
His brain would be extracted off to the pathologist and then the crematorium for the usual disposal.
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:11.279
Prisoners were injected with diseases disguised as vaccines to study their effects.
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:19.919
To study the effect of untreated venereal diseases, men and female prisoners were deliberately infected with syphilis and gonorrhea, then studied.
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:28.159
A special project codenamed Mauta Maruta used human beings for experiments.
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:36.960
Test subjects were gathered from the surrounding population and sometimes referred to as logs, as in how many logs fell.
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:45.600
This term originated as a staff joke because the official cover story for the facility given to local authorities was that it was a lumber mill.
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:48.399
Oh my gosh.
00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:52.080
So far, I'm gonna argue that this is worse than MK Ultra.
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:53.840
Yeah, I didn't say it wasn't.
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:55.360
Yeah, no, I know.
00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:59.120
I just I'm putting it out there, I feel like, of the two.
00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:04.480
Yeah, I mean, one is physical torture, the other one is psychological torture.
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:06.799
I don't think we can compare it.
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:07.840
Yeah, it's not.
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:11.919
They're both they're both bad.
00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:18.799
Um and there's a reason that the CIA didn't really do this, but we will get into that.
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:19.440
Okay.
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:39.519
Thousands of men, women, children, and infants interned at the prisoner of war camps were subjected to bisections, which is a surgery conducted for experimental purposes on a living organism, typically animals with central nervous systems, to view the living internal structure.
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:44.720
It was often performed without anesthesia and usually lethal.
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.639
I was just gonna say, I bet this is without anesthesia, too.
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:50.480
So yeah.
00:12:52.240 --> 00:13:02.960
In a video interview, former Unit 731 member Aqua Fukumatasu admitting to having bisected a pregnant woman.
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:12.480
Visection were performed on prisoners after infecting them with various diseases, removing organs to study the effects of the disease on the human body.
00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:19.360
I I will say America has done this many times, but we don't talk about it because they only did it to black women.
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:22.240
So I don't like that.
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:26.159
They used to say that uh black women were couldn't feel pain.
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:29.200
Couldn't feel pain, so they would never use anesthesia.
00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:31.919
So they would just cut them open without it.
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:32.480
Yeah.
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:34.960
So yeah, it's not just Japan.
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:35.440
Yeah.
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:38.720
Again, if there's evil to be had, it's been done here.
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:39.360
Right.
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.519
Prisoners had limbs amputated in order to study blood loss.
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:49.519
Limbs removed were off were sometimes reattached to the opposite side of the victim's body.
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:56.159
Some prisoners had their stomachs surgically removed and their esophagus reattached to their intestines.
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:02.480
Parts of the organs such as brain, lungs, and liver were removed from others.
00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:20.000
Imperial Japanese Army surgeon Ken Yuasa said that the practicing vivation on or on human subjects was bright spread even outside Unit 731, estimating that 1,000 Japanese personnel were involved in the practice in mainland China.
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:35.279
Yusa said that when he performed vice actions on captives, they were all for practice rather than for research, and that the such practices were routine among Japanese doctors stationed in China during the war.
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:45.440
The New York Times interviewed a former member of Unit 731, insisting on anom on in the non- Oh my god, I can't talk today.
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:46.480
Anonymity?
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:47.360
Anonymity.
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:48.480
Thank you.
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:53.919
Insisting on anonym insisting on anything.
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:55.200
They wanted to be anonymous.
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:56.480
Anonymity.
00:14:57.519 --> 00:14:59.360
A man anemone.
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:01.200
Anonymity.
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:04.799
They wanted to be anonymous.
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:05.279
Yep.
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:06.000
Anony.
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:22.159
The former Japanese medical assistant recounted his first experience in bisecting a live human being who had been deliberately infected with the plague for the purpose of developing plague bombs for the war.
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:23.840
Uh the sorry.
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:24.720
It's okay.
00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:26.399
So this is a quote from him.
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:26.960
Okay.
00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:34.399
Um The fellow knew that it was over for him, so he didn't struggle when they laid him in the room and tied him down.
00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:37.600
But when I picked up the scalpel, that's when he began screaming.
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:42.000
I cut him open from the chest to the stomach, and he screamed terribly.
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:44.720
And his face was twisted in agony.
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:49.840
He made this horrible, unimaginable sound, and he was screaming so horribly.
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:51.679
And then he finally stopped.
00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:58.159
And this was all in a day's work for surgeons, but it but it really left an impression on me because it was my first time.
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:01.679
That's so horrible.
00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:03.120
I don't feel bad for him.
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:03.759
Fuck it.
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:06.080
Not the guy right.
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:07.759
No, I'm personal on me.
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:08.720
I don't care.
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:09.840
Yeah, I hope it haunts you.
00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:10.720
Ugh.
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:30.720
Unit 731 and its affiliated units, Unit 1644 and Unit 100, among others, were involved in research development and experimental deployment of epidemic creating biological weapons and assaults against the Chinese populace, both military and civilian, throughout World War II.
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:45.759
By 1939, Ishii had condensed his laboratory discoveries to six potent pathogens: anthrax, typhoid, paratyphoid, glanders, descentary, and plague-infected human fleas.
00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:46.320
Ew.
00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:54.720
These agents were robust enough to ignite epidemics of cons of considerable magnitude and resilient to aerial dispersal.
00:16:54.960 --> 00:17:15.440
This marked the initiation of a later phase of Ishii's elaborate screen scheme, conducting field trial through military expeditions on unsuspecting civilians, aiming to devise a method of dissemination that would efficiently spread the pathogens in optimal concentrations for maximum devastation.
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:30.079
His experiments involved developing biodegradable bombs that house live rats and fleas infected with diseases designed to explode mid-air, ensuring the safe defense descent of the infected creatures to the ground.
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:36.319
Additionally, he deployed birds and bird feathers contaminated with anthrax for low-flying aircrafts.
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:42.319
How you have to be like you have to have so much time to think about all of these things.
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:44.160
That is crazy.
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:48.559
Like who how did you even come up with this?
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:52.480
Like what your first thought was, oh, we need biomedical weapons.
00:17:52.799 --> 00:18:04.720
Steppen said that, like, or at the beginning, it said that like he was on a two-year expedition looking at American and European research centers, and then he came back and started working on this.
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:08.720
So what did he see in America and Europe during World War II?
00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:11.039
Eugenics, uh definitely.
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:22.480
I mean, we just read last week about I mean, not last week, yeah, but we just read a few minutes ago everything that I said that the Nazis were doing that became ultra or MK Ultra.
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:23.519
Ultra, yeah.
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:26.960
And this was happening at the same time that they were doing project artichokes.
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:31.759
So, like, what else were they doing that was destroyed in the files?
00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:33.599
Oh, yep.
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:35.279
We'll never know.
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:36.160
No, we won't.
00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:37.440
Because they were destroyed.
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:42.559
Human targets were used to test grenades at various distances and positions.
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:44.880
Flamethrowers were tested on people.
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:59.200
Victims were also tied to stakes and used as victims to test pathogen releasing bombs, chemical weapons, and sharp shrapnel bombs with varying amounts of fragments and explosive bombs as well as bayonets and knives.
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:00.000
My God.
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:11.920
A quote saying, to determine the best course of treatment for varying degrees of sharpenel wounds sustained on the field by Japanese soldiers, Chinese prisoners were exposed to direct bomb blasts.
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:22.319
They were strapped unprotected to wooden planks that were stacked into the ground at increasing distances around a bomb that was then detonated.
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:25.920
It was surgery for most autopsies for the rest.
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:40.160
Unit members orchestrated forced sex acts between infected and non-infected prisoners to transmit syphilis as the testimony of prison guard on the subject of devising a method for transmission of syphilis between victims.
00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:42.319
I was wondering when that was gonna happen.
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:45.279
I knew that forced sex was coming.
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:46.559
Yeah, of course.
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:52.799
Um, so one of the prison guards said about this method of transmission.
00:19:53.359 --> 00:20:00.960
Infection of venereal diseases by injection was abandoned, and the researchers started forcing the prisoners into sexual acts with each other.
00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:10.640
Four or five unit members dressed in white laboratory clothing, completely covering the body with only eyes and mouths visible, rest covered, handled the tests.
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:17.759
A male and female, when infected with syphilis, would be brought together in a cell and forced into sex with each other.
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:21.519
It was made clear that anyone resisting would be shot.
00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:27.359
I feel like I would rather get shot.
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:28.559
Me too.
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:30.079
Me too.
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:42.559
After victims were infected, they were bisected at different stages of infection so that the internal and external organs could be absorbed as the disease progressed.
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:51.359
Testimony from multiple guards blames the victim or the female victims as being host of the diseases, even though they were forcibly infected.
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:01.039
Ew.
00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:03.599
That's disgusting.
00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:06.000
This is so gross.
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:07.680
I wish I was done.
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:09.839
Yeah, I wish so too.
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:12.559
This is not funny.
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:13.200
No.
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:17.759
Female prisoners were forced to become pregnant for use in experiments.
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:32.240
The hypothetic the hypothetical possibility of vertical transmission, which means like passing it from the mother to the daughter, of diseases, particularly syphilis, was the stated reason for that torture.
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:43.440
Fetal survival and damage to the mother's reproductive organs were objects of interest, though a large number of babies were born in captivity.
00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:48.400
There were no accounts of any survivors of Unit 731, children included.
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:53.599
It is suspected that the children of the female prisoners were killed after birth or aborted.
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:59.200
Oh, so these like accounts, the quotes that you're they're all from prison guards.
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:00.400
There.
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:00.960
Yeah.
00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:01.599
Victims.
00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:02.079
Yep.
00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:19.200
While male prisoners were often used in single studies so that the results of the experimentation on them would not be clouded by other variables, women were sometimes used in bacteriological or physiological experiments, sex experiments, and the victims of sex crimes.
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:26.720
The testimony of a unit member that served as a guard graphically demonstrated this reality.
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:36.160
And he quotes: One of the former researches I located told me that one day he had a human experiment scheduled, but there was still time to kill.
00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:41.920
So he and another unit member took the keys out of the cell and opened one of the ones that housed a Chinese woman.
00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:43.839
One of the unit members raped her.
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:46.799
The other member took the keys and opened another cell.
00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:51.119
There was a Chinese woman in there who had been used in a frostbite experiment.
00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:56.319
She still had several fingers missing and her bones were black with gangrene set in.
00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:58.079
He was about to rape her, anyways.
00:22:58.160 --> 00:23:07.920
Then he saw that her sex organ was festering with pus oozing to the surface, so he gave up that idea, left and locked the door, then later went back to his experimental work.
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:19.359
Unit 731 conducted a wide range of experiments beyond biological warfare, including torture, chemical exposure, and physiological manipulation.
00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:52.240
Prisoners were subjected to extreme methods of physical stress, including prolonged starvation and dehydration, exposure to low pressure chambers until their eyes burst, suspension upside down until death, crushing with heavy objects, electrocution, forced dehydration using hot air fans, spinning and centrifuges until death, exposure to extreme heat and burns, injection with animal blood, injection with seawater, burning alive or alive burial.
00:23:52.640 --> 00:24:00.720
At what point there's no way that all of this, I mean, you said that the point of some of this is literally just torture.
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:01.279
Yeah.
00:24:01.519 --> 00:24:02.079
100%.
00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:09.200
There's no way that you can make a scientific argument for honestly, even the scientific purposes.
00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:10.480
It's disgusting.
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:13.440
Yeah, I mean, and that's what they said with the MK Ultra.
00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:15.839
Like eventually they're like, there's no research purposes.
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:18.240
They were just like, what if this happens and tried it?
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:18.720
Right.
00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:25.680
Like to be able to even do this kind of stuff in the name of scientific research, you have to be broken.
00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:26.640
You have to be evil.
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:26.960
Yeah.
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:30.640
So it's pretty easy to see.
00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:38.400
And and to sign up to be like a guard here and to witness it, again, you have to be a psychopath.
00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:40.079
There has to be something wrong with you.
00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:49.680
So it's not hard to imagine that the people who would be involved in the scientific part of this would easily just go to torture.
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:50.960
Yeah, just translate.
00:24:52.799 --> 00:25:02.079
It was said that a small number of these poor men, women, and children were also mummified alive in total dehydration experiments.
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:07.039
They sweated themselves to death under the heat of several hot dry fans.
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:11.920
At death, the corpses would only weigh about a fifth of normal body weight.
00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:29.200
Victims were also exposed to a wide range of toxic agents, including mustard gas, luazite, cyanic acid gas, white phosphorus, atamcyte, and phosgen.
00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:32.960
I probably pronounced a couple of those wrong, I'm sorry.
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:38.799
Unit 731 operated a facility dedicated to gas chamber experiments.
00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:41.759
Again, he studied in Europe.
00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:49.440
Victims were placed in sealed chambers wearing either full uniform, partial gear, or no protection.
00:25:49.759 --> 00:26:01.839
A former army major and later professor recalled, in 1943, I attended a poison gas test held at the Unit 731 test facilities.
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:16.160
A glass walled chamber about three meters square, 97 square foot, and two meters, 6.6 feet, high, was used, and inside it a Chinese man was blindfolded with his hands tied around a post behind him.
00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:20.720
The gas was atomcy, which is sneezing d sneezing gas.
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:29.359
And as the gas filled the chamber, the man went into a violent coughing convulsion and began to suffer extre extrusiating pain.
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:32.319
More than ten doctors and technicians were present.
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:36.880
After I watched for about 10 minutes, I could not stand it anymore and left the area.
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:40.160
I understand that other types of gases were also tested there.
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:45.200
I just don't understand how this was allowed for so long.
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:53.759
For s it was only I know I'm not gonna say like it was only but it was only a few years ago.
00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:55.759
It went from like, what did I say?
00:26:56.559 --> 00:27:00.319
30 nine to 43, I think is.
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:19.359
Yeah, something so it really wasn't that I mean that is years of torture to the Chinese, so I'm not trying to like downplay it, downplay it, but it compared to yeah, 1933 to 1945, so it was oh I guess that was a while.
00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:20.559
That's still 10 years.
00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:22.960
Oh that okay, yeah.
00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:25.200
I thought it was shorter in my mind, sorry.
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:29.759
12 years is a long time of torture.
00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:36.319
It is a long time, and I just don't understand, like, where are where are the police?
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:39.920
I mean, these are the police, that's the whole thing.
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:45.839
Oh and they were hiding it behind a lawn company.
00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:48.480
Yeah, where did all the timber go?
00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:54.240
Did no one ever ever question why they didn't have any lumber coming from this place?
00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:57.279
I don't know.
00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:03.680
Unit 731 also studied blood loss and incompatible blood transfusions.
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:16.160
Former member Akawa Fukumatusu stated that some prisoners had 500 milliliters of blood withdrawn every two to three days.
00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:19.599
Experiments with incompatible blood types were conducted.
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:37.279
Unit member Nao Ikida recorded, in my experience, when type A blood 100cc was transfused into an O type subject whose pulse was 87 per minute and temperature was 35.4 degrees Celsius.
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:43.839
30 minutes later, the temperature rose to 38.6 degrees with a slight trepid trepidation.
00:28:44.079 --> 00:28:49.839
60 minutes later, the pulse was 106 per minute and the temperature was 39.4 degrees.
00:28:50.079 --> 00:28:55.920
Two hours later, the temperature was 37.7 degrees, and three hours later the subject recovered.
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:10.720
When A B type blood 120 C was transfused to a O type subject, an hour later the subject described melee and psychore in both legs.
00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:18.160
When A B type blood 100cc was transfused into a B type subject, there seemed to be no side effect.
00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:34.480
Prisoners were also exposed to biological toxins, including tetrodoxetin, which is from the pufferfish, heroin, Korean bindweed, bactyl, and castor oil seeds.
00:29:35.359 --> 00:30:00.960
In 2002, Cheng Day, China, the site of the one of the plague flea bombings, held an international symposium on the crimes of bacteriological warfare, which estimated that the number of people slaughtered by the Imperial Japanese Army's germ warfare and other human experience was 580,000.
00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:01.920
My God.
00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:06.160
So in the 12 years, they killed 580,000 people.
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:08.160
That's so many people.
00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:22.079
After the war, 12 Unit 731 members were tried by the USSR in 1949, war crime trials, and sentenced to prison.
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:38.720
However, many key figures, including Ishii, who again is the one who ran it, were granted immunity by the United States in exchange for their research data.
00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:40.079
No.
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:41.279
Why?
00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:45.200
So we can have biological weapons too?
00:30:46.799 --> 00:30:52.960
The Truman administration concealed the unit's crimes and paid stipends for two former personnel.
00:30:53.599 --> 00:30:54.160
What?
00:30:54.559 --> 00:31:07.039
On August 28th, 2002, the Tokyo District Court formally acknowledged that Japan that Japan had conducted biological warfare in China and held the state responsible for the related deaths.
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:12.880
So that goes back to why was MKUltra not as bad?
00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:20.480
Because it was happening at the same time we were doing um Artichoke and then we just got their research.
00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:21.440
Wow.
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:23.599
So we didn't have to.
00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:24.480
We didn't have to.
00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:24.880
Yeah.
00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:27.119
We already had the results.
00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:27.680
Ugh.
00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:28.880
That was disgusting.
00:31:29.119 --> 00:31:29.839
You're welcome.
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:31.680
Sorry, guys.
00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:32.880
Horrible.
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:37.519
I was sick and miserable, so I thought I would make you guys sick and miserable too.
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:39.119
Well, it worked.
00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:40.640
That's horrible.
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:46.000
Next week I am going back to I I need to do something light.
00:31:46.079 --> 00:31:47.200
I need to do something silly.
00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:49.599
Next week I am doing aliens again.
00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:53.039
I need a mental break from yeah.
00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:55.440
What's the past two episodes?
00:31:55.759 --> 00:32:04.079
What is crazy is that like it's not surprising that any of this happened um anywhere, right?
00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:06.960
Whether it's United States, Japan, whatever.
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:12.319
It just is so uh to like think about it front and center.
00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:13.759
It just is disturbing.
00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:18.480
And to know that things like this are still happening in the world today.
00:32:18.640 --> 00:32:25.200
We're just not gonna find out about it till years later when we find Israel's documents.
00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:26.000
Yeah.
00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:31.519
Well, my topics are a lot lighter than that.
00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:39.759
That is why I went first this week, so that we um have a little levity after that fun stuff.
00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:40.559
Yeah.
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:43.039
So uh there's only a couple things.
00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:47.920
I basically just like uh I've seen a couple weird things on TikTok recently.
00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:53.359
So the first one is uh I don't know if you've seen the tree guy on TikTok.
00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:56.160
The guy who's like who's convinced his tree is moving.
00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:56.480
Yes.
00:32:56.640 --> 00:32:56.960
Yes.
00:32:57.119 --> 00:33:02.480
So there's like eight episodes of this guy who is like something's weird with this tree.
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:04.640
It starts off pretty like innocent.
00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:05.920
Something's weird with this tree.
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:09.599
I've grown up here, I don't remember this tree being here.
00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:13.759
Yeah, and then it just transforms into this like experiment.
00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:20.880
Closer, yeah, it keeps moving closer, and then he puts string around it, and then he comes back the next day and it's loose.
00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:26.559
So the tree moved, and then he goes on to be like, it doesn't even look real anymore.
00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:32.880
And I just feel like this is how mass hysteria starts.
00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:38.000
Do you do you believe the tree is moving?
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:38.880
I want to know.
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:47.759
No, I don't believe that the tree is moving, however, I think it is suspicious that he suddenly is like in legal trouble for doing this.
00:33:48.079 --> 00:33:50.319
Oh, I didn't know he was in legal trouble for doing it.
00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:50.559
Yeah.
00:33:50.640 --> 00:33:51.599
What kind of legal trouble?
00:33:51.839 --> 00:33:56.160
Yeah, so I don't know if it's I'm pretty sure it's like the FBI.
00:33:56.640 --> 00:33:58.640
They were like, you need to stop doing this.
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:00.720
This is spreading a false narrative.
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:01.920
Blah blah blah.
00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:06.480
But I that doesn't make sense to me because how many false narratives are on the internet?
00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:07.279
Right?
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:08.239
Like all of them.
00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:11.679
I don't know why this specific tree.
00:34:11.840 --> 00:34:15.920
Is it like it's real that the FBI cares?
00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:18.639
I just got no no no.
00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:24.719
This is uh reports, like I saw news reports, those can be AI generated, true, right?
00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:29.519
So I don't know if have you seen any from like a reputable news source.
00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:31.440
I I can't say that I have, no.
00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:32.000
Okay.
00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:33.920
So I will do more research.
00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:34.800
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:42.960
I can look into it more too, but it's just like I was intrigued by this at first because I don't believe that we're living in a simulation.
00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:46.079
I don't believe that the earth is like pixelated or anything like that.
00:34:46.239 --> 00:34:47.039
I don't believe that.
00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:51.119
I do believe in timelines though, like I've said many times.
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:53.440
So that tree is just hopping between some?
00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:54.320
Maybe.
00:34:54.559 --> 00:35:03.280
Or maybe it's just like that tree is in a different timeline, and that timeline is changing differently than this one.
00:35:03.599 --> 00:35:05.360
Okay, so I don't know.
00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:16.239
I still don't think it's real, but if if it were to be real, that is the only like plausible uh not even plausible, that is the only thing that I would be willing to accept.
00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:23.119
I was a tree, and I had the ability to fuck with someone by moving.
00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:24.880
I would do it.
00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:26.079
Absolutely would.
00:35:26.320 --> 00:35:29.679
Well, and then you see all the videos of like walking trees.
00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:33.840
Yeah, I would get closer and then I would sit.
00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:38.239
And I would get closer again, I would sit, and then I would go back to my original position.
00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:39.519
Oh, yeah.
00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:42.320
I would really mess with I would, I would.
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:43.440
Ugh, yeah.
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:51.760
So uh that guy was just interesting to me, and then I had just briefly seen that he was actually in trouble for doing this, and uh I would have to research more.
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:54.400
Why are you in trouble for telling a lie?
00:35:54.559 --> 00:35:55.199
There's so much more.
00:35:55.360 --> 00:35:59.920
I'm not texting, I am researching tree man and the FBI, yeah.
00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:00.800
I don't know.
00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:02.320
It's very weird.
00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:14.239
Um the other thing that I am sure everyone has seen is the guy that they put on Fox News clearly wearing a mask.
00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:15.119
You've seen that, right?
00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:15.599
Yes.
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:17.679
He is clearly wearing a mask.
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:18.880
So why?
00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:20.880
Like, are you trying to Sorry?
00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:26.159
I put Tree Man and Thorn Bradley came up, so I just Oh yeah.
00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:26.639
Yeah.
00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:28.719
You don't know who Thorn Bradley is.
00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:31.519
Do yourself a favor and just search him up on TikTok.
00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:33.039
And thank us later.
00:36:33.199 --> 00:36:34.000
Thank us later.
00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:35.280
It's for science.
00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:35.840
Yeah.
00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:38.239
Just watch it nice and slow for science.
00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:39.760
But yeah.
00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:40.800
You can't find tree man.
00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:41.679
What's tree man's name?
00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:44.000
Putting uh um here.
00:36:44.239 --> 00:36:45.760
Oh, I don't have my phone.
00:36:46.320 --> 00:36:48.000
We'll research and talk about it next week.
00:36:48.159 --> 00:36:49.119
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:54.079
Um, but the guy that they just had on Fox News that was wearing a mask.
00:36:54.719 --> 00:36:55.199
Why?
00:36:55.440 --> 00:36:57.039
Yeah, why was he wearing a mask?
00:36:57.519 --> 00:37:01.280
And why would you do such a piss poor job of covering it up?
00:37:01.840 --> 00:37:02.880
Literally see it.
00:37:03.280 --> 00:37:03.760
Lifting.
00:37:04.159 --> 00:37:13.920
Like are and some of the theories are like, like you see the the deep conspiracy theorists on TikTok who are like it's happening.
00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:20.159
They're coming out into real life, they're you know, slowly subjecting us to lizard people.
00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:27.599
I think my theory is they're testing us, they want to see if we notice.
00:37:28.159 --> 00:37:30.400
Oh, we did.
00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:31.119
We did.
00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:34.400
Well, it's so obvious.
00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:40.320
I think they didn't mean for that like they didn't mean for it to be that obvious.
00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:44.239
They wanted to see if right, if we would know, yeah.
00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:44.800
Ugh.
00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:50.880
It's just so weird to see, and not even like like this is not AI.
00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:52.559
This is like real.
00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:54.480
Weird.
00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:55.840
Yeah, it's so weird.
00:37:56.000 --> 00:38:01.360
So that was another weird thing that I saw on TikTok that I was like, is this is he a lizard man?
00:38:01.679 --> 00:38:02.559
Is he a robot?
00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:03.679
Is he an alien?
00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:06.559
Well, he was supposed to be like a real guy, yeah.
00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:07.599
I can't remember his name.
00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:08.719
It's Howard something, right?
00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:11.519
Yeah, he's supposed to be like a military general or something.
00:38:11.599 --> 00:38:15.440
Yeah, and then Howard didn't even look like the guy in the mask.
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:22.159
No, no, you see videos of the actual guy, and it's like that it's not what are you trying to do here?
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:24.960
Yeah, like it's yeah, it's weird.
00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:28.960
Um very weird.
00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:30.079
Was that it?
00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:31.199
Yep, that's all you got?
00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:31.679
Yep.
00:38:31.840 --> 00:38:39.039
Okay, well, there's your lip at stop talking.
00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:41.599
My brain needs to shut off.
00:38:42.559 --> 00:38:45.840
There is your entertainment after the story.
00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:48.880
Yeah, I just and I mean there's so many.
00:38:49.039 --> 00:38:56.639
After you research conspiracy theories on TikTok so often you start seeing the same things, so you kinda gotta start saving them.
00:38:56.719 --> 00:38:57.840
So I have to dive deeper.
00:38:58.159 --> 00:38:58.800
So many.
00:38:58.960 --> 00:38:59.599
Yeah.
00:38:59.920 --> 00:39:02.000
You said you had to dive deeper.
00:39:02.719 --> 00:39:03.360
Yeah.
00:39:03.760 --> 00:39:05.039
Not to find those ones.
00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:06.159
But like, no.
00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:07.679
Where's the deep dive?
00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:10.239
You shouldn't even know Tree Man's name.
00:39:11.280 --> 00:39:12.239
You're right.
00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:13.519
No, no, no.
00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:18.559
To find things that are like not the same consistently on TikTok.
00:39:18.719 --> 00:39:20.639
Yeah, you gotta go other places.
00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:22.159
Yep.
00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:29.840
Gonna ask you if you would rather have been part of the MK Ultra experiments or the Japanese bio war.
00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:31.119
MK Ultra.
00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:31.920
Okay, yeah.
00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:32.239
Yeah.
00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:32.800
Easy.
00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:35.199
I can't handle physical pain.
00:39:35.360 --> 00:39:37.119
I mean, to an extent I can.
00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:40.159
Like I have tattoos, but that's no.
00:39:40.320 --> 00:39:43.679
I would much rather be psychologically out of it.
00:39:43.920 --> 00:39:44.239
Yeah.
00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:46.239
Then I want to be tortured.
00:39:46.639 --> 00:39:48.079
The prostitutes they hired.
00:39:48.239 --> 00:39:48.480
Yeah.
00:39:48.719 --> 00:39:49.039
Yeah.
00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:51.280
Just that was a joke.
00:39:51.440 --> 00:39:51.679
Okay.
00:39:52.079 --> 00:39:52.400
I joke.
00:39:53.280 --> 00:39:56.800
But how much did you get paid to fuck with a man?
00:39:56.960 --> 00:39:57.599
Yeah.
00:39:58.000 --> 00:39:59.119
Sign me up.
00:39:59.760 --> 00:40:00.800
But you had to have sex with them.
00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:01.920
So that's where I like, uh.
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:02.880
Yeah.
00:40:03.119 --> 00:40:04.159
Don't want that.
00:40:06.079 --> 00:40:07.199
Oh my god.
00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:13.920
And if you guys know anything about the tree guy, let me know because genuinely I'm interested.
00:40:14.159 --> 00:40:20.239
If you guys know anything about the topic I researched today, I'm super interested in it.
00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:21.840
Can you guys let me know?
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:23.760
Can you just do my job for me?
00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:27.519
And then I will take your notes and do a part two next week.
00:40:27.599 --> 00:40:30.320
Yeah, with the stuff that you find out.
00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:35.599
Speaking of research topics that she had that I did more research on.
00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:41.519
Because I I'm a psycho, and if I like hear something, I need to know everything I can about it.
00:40:41.920 --> 00:40:48.400
So remember our debate two day two weeks ago now, um, about whether it was aliens or Nazis?
00:40:48.559 --> 00:40:50.639
Oh yeah, I'm convinced it's Nazis now.
00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:51.760
But I have convinced her.
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:53.039
I did more research.
00:40:54.239 --> 00:41:04.639
So the flugel, whatever, yeah, whatever the flugel rods that the aliens said that they flew in on, the ones with the Nazi symbols.
00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:18.559
Turns out in World War II, the Nazis were researching circular warcraft that they called flu rods.
00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:22.079
I didn't know.
00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:27.360
If I had known that, I I wouldn't have fought so hard for aliens.
00:41:27.599 --> 00:41:27.920
Okay.
00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:30.639
I wouldn't have fought that hard.
00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:35.039
We for the people who listen and who have made it this far.
00:41:35.280 --> 00:41:35.920
Yeah.
00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:37.360
I was right.
00:41:38.239 --> 00:41:40.079
I think I think you might have been right.
00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:41.760
They're Nazis.
00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:44.639
Not aliens from the middle earth.
00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:46.400
Sorry, Richard Bird.
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:48.239
Sorry about that.
00:41:48.400 --> 00:41:49.760
I wonder what they poisoned him with.
00:41:49.920 --> 00:41:51.280
Maybe it was LSD.
00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:53.519
Honestly, probably.
00:41:53.760 --> 00:41:57.599
Because we got the research from the Nazis from that time.
00:41:57.760 --> 00:41:57.920
Yeah.
00:41:58.079 --> 00:41:58.639
I bet it was.
00:41:58.800 --> 00:41:59.199
I bet it was.
00:41:59.519 --> 00:42:03.760
And that's probably how he saw like the TV and that's why he started tripping balls.
00:42:04.079 --> 00:42:04.800
Magical stuff.
00:42:05.119 --> 00:42:07.840
And they were learning how to suppress your memory.
00:42:08.079 --> 00:42:08.480
Yes.
00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:09.440
Oh my god.
00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:10.159
Full circle.
00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:12.159
Do you have any beef of the week?
00:42:13.199 --> 00:42:13.679
Yeah.
00:42:13.920 --> 00:42:14.239
Okay.
00:42:14.559 --> 00:42:14.800
Yeah.
00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:16.559
What's your what's your beef of the week?
00:42:16.639 --> 00:42:18.079
Given that I'm with it.
00:42:18.880 --> 00:42:21.440
My beef of the week is summer clothes.
00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:25.599
So the weather here in Michigan is getting hot.
00:42:26.639 --> 00:42:34.960
And uh consistently, my beef with summer is not that it's necessarily hot, it's that it is an uncomfortable hot.
00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:37.840
It's never just like a nice warm.
00:42:38.079 --> 00:42:43.280
It's always humid, it's always sticky, it's always a sweaty situation.
00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:44.719
And I hate it.
00:42:45.119 --> 00:42:46.079
That's my beef.
00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:58.239
So summer clothes in particular are it's just hard to find something that is going to be comfortable because you don't you want to wear less clothing.
00:42:58.559 --> 00:42:58.960
Right.
00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:07.920
So it's hard to find something that is comfortable, but still like and I'm thinking specifically like for work.
00:43:08.079 --> 00:43:12.159
Now I'm in an office all day, so um air conditioning is a thing.
00:43:12.239 --> 00:43:22.480
I'm privileged in that in that sense, but like I just don't it's so hard to find clothing that you just feel comfortable in in the summertime, is what I think.
00:43:22.880 --> 00:43:23.360
I agree.
00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:27.360
Because like I don't like to show off too much of my body.
00:43:28.400 --> 00:43:32.880
But when you wear like clothes, yeah, especially like form fitting clothes.
00:43:33.199 --> 00:43:33.440
Yeah.
00:43:33.599 --> 00:43:33.920
Yeah.
00:43:34.239 --> 00:43:36.000
And that's what a lot of summer clothes are.
00:43:36.079 --> 00:43:43.199
Like you can't just buy like a and if you do buy a flowy like tank top, you just end up looking frumpy.
00:43:43.599 --> 00:43:43.920
Yeah.
00:43:44.079 --> 00:43:44.400
You know?
00:43:44.719 --> 00:43:44.880
Yeah.
00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:49.519
It's not there's not a good dresses are a good option, but I don't want to wear a dress every day.
00:43:49.840 --> 00:43:52.880
Especially when it's like really windy like it is here.
00:43:53.119 --> 00:43:53.280
Yeah.
00:43:53.440 --> 00:43:55.679
And then you have to wear like the shorts underneath it, and then you chase.
00:43:55.840 --> 00:43:56.639
I just I don't like it.
00:43:56.719 --> 00:43:56.800
Yeah.
00:43:57.039 --> 00:43:57.199
Yeah.
00:43:57.280 --> 00:43:57.519
No.
00:43:57.679 --> 00:43:59.760
That's so my beef of the week is just summer.
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:22.320
Clothing shorts are okay, but there's never a good length of shorts, it's either like all the way down to your knee or all the way up to your butt cheek, and it's like there's no good in-between tank tops are okay, but I also have uh HS, so I don't like to necessarily show my underarms all the time, and that's a problem, so it's just like it's so annoying.
00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:24.000
I feel it, I feel it.
00:44:24.159 --> 00:44:25.679
Yeah, what's your beef?
00:44:26.719 --> 00:44:28.400
That Trump is still alive.
00:44:29.599 --> 00:44:32.000
That Netanyahu is still alive.
00:44:35.199 --> 00:44:38.719
Sometimes I don't expect what comes out of your mouth.
00:44:39.039 --> 00:44:44.960
I just I should learn to expect it, but I just You know who I am as a person.
00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:46.400
I do, I do.
00:44:47.119 --> 00:44:48.960
Israel is my beef of the week.
00:44:49.280 --> 00:45:05.599
What they did to the volunteers who were going to try to blockade them, raping all of the women there who weren't even Palestinian, the Australians who they just with dogs, and then saying that rape with dogs doesn't count even though that's what Hitler did to you guys.
00:45:07.840 --> 00:45:09.199
I did not know about that.
00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:09.760
That's interesting.
00:45:10.239 --> 00:45:11.840
Israel, Israel is my beef of the week.
00:45:11.920 --> 00:45:12.480
And Trump.
00:45:12.719 --> 00:45:13.679
I like your bracelet.
00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:14.400
Thank you.
00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:15.679
Yeah, thank you.
00:45:19.280 --> 00:45:20.400
Yeah, but whatever.
00:45:20.800 --> 00:45:22.400
Yeah, that's my beef of the week.
00:45:22.719 --> 00:45:23.920
The world sucks, that's it.
00:45:24.079 --> 00:45:25.039
Yeah, basically.
00:45:25.360 --> 00:45:25.920
Definitely.
00:45:26.159 --> 00:45:26.400
Yeah.
00:45:26.559 --> 00:45:27.679
I didn't I didn't have a lot.
00:45:28.400 --> 00:45:31.679
I noticed that be nice to me.
00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:32.880
Please.
00:45:35.199 --> 00:45:36.880
Summer clothes and genocide.
00:45:37.519 --> 00:45:42.480
Um I need you to pick a beef of the week that is normal.
00:45:42.800 --> 00:45:50.079
I mean, it's normal to not support genocide, but I need you to like pick a first world problem.
00:45:53.599 --> 00:45:57.280
Maybe not necessarily right now, but like in the future.
00:45:59.199 --> 00:46:02.880
Tell Israel to stop doing fucked up things.
00:46:03.119 --> 00:46:06.000
And then maybe I can focus on world problem.
00:46:06.320 --> 00:46:07.039
First world problems.
00:46:07.280 --> 00:46:08.639
First world problems.
00:46:09.199 --> 00:46:09.920
I would love that.
00:46:10.079 --> 00:46:11.519
I would love to be able to just do it.
00:46:11.679 --> 00:46:14.400
I would love if they just listen to thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:46:14.639 --> 00:46:15.679
Some white American.
00:46:16.239 --> 00:46:18.719
Well, more likely to listen to you than me.
00:46:19.360 --> 00:46:20.239
That's true.
00:46:20.480 --> 00:46:21.039
That's true.
00:46:21.199 --> 00:46:23.039
If anyone has a chance, yeah.
00:46:23.280 --> 00:46:23.519
Okay.
00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:29.039
So you guys listening, use your voices, speak out, sign positions, go to Palestinian rallies.
00:46:29.199 --> 00:46:29.360
Yeah.
00:46:29.519 --> 00:46:29.679
Yep.
00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:31.599
So I hope you guys enjoyed today's episode.
00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:33.360
Yeah, this one was a little lackluster.
00:46:33.440 --> 00:46:33.920
I'm sorry.
00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:37.360
Um to be fair, we didn't expect to record two episodes today.
00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:38.800
Um, this is true.
00:46:39.119 --> 00:46:44.639
In Stephanie's defense, we uh planned this uh so it's pretty last minute yesterday.
00:46:44.880 --> 00:46:50.000
So I I had already knew I was gonna be talking about unit 731.
00:46:50.159 --> 00:46:59.360
So I didn't have a single note done, but like I had watched videos about it, so I kind of knew what I was gonna be talking about, so it was easier for me to get the notes done.
00:46:59.440 --> 00:47:08.719
Um Stephanie had to like come up with something yeah, and also you are so knowledgeable in so many different conspiracies already.
00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:14.320
Yeah, like you already have things in the back of your mind that you're like, oh, I can talk about this, I can talk about this.
00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:17.840
Genuinely, I just look up conspiracies.
00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:23.039
Like, I don't already have something that I would like to talk about planned, so it is a little bit hard to do.
00:47:23.199 --> 00:47:24.480
I watch a lot of documentaries.
00:47:24.639 --> 00:47:25.119
I don't.
00:47:25.280 --> 00:47:26.559
I l I love documentaries.
00:47:26.719 --> 00:47:28.000
I have a document slot.
00:47:28.159 --> 00:47:28.800
Yeah.
00:47:31.840 --> 00:47:40.239
And also, like I mentioned when I got here, my brain, I just feel like my brain is disconnected the last few weeks.
00:47:40.400 --> 00:47:41.679
It's like gone.
00:47:41.920 --> 00:47:44.559
I wish I could disconnect my brain sometimes.
00:47:44.719 --> 00:47:45.599
In another century.
00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:48.559
I don't know where it is, but I would like for it to come back, please.
00:47:48.719 --> 00:47:50.559
I'm gonna put up missing poster.
00:47:50.719 --> 00:47:52.239
Uh, is there anything else we want to talk about?
00:47:52.400 --> 00:47:52.960
I don't think so.
00:47:53.119 --> 00:47:58.239
Sorry, this one was a little shorter, but you know, sometimes you gotta take a break from the crazy.
00:47:58.639 --> 00:48:01.280
