Tags: In a world where surveillance and manipulation were pervasive, the KGB, or Committee for State Security, cast an ominous shadow over global politics for nearly half a century. Established in 1954, the KGB swiftly rose as one of the most formidable and relentless intelligence agencies. Espionage, disinformation, and ruthless control tactics were their weapons, infiltrating governments, corporations, and even orchestrating high-profile assassinations, with the recruitment of the infamous Cambridge Five as a centerpiece of their Cold War operations. From 'honeypot' schemes to domestic surveillance and political upheavals like the crushing of the Hungarian Revolution, the KGB's influence knew no bounds, even extending to the brink of nuclear war during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. The KGB's sinister reach extended beyond the Iron Curtain, affecting international businesses through industrial espionage and infiltrating foreign governments at the highest levels. Their disinformation campaigns, exemplified by Operation INFEKTION, sowed distrust and confusion that lingers to this day. The agency's legacy didn't end with the fall of the Soviet Union; it endured through the enduring power of former KGB operative Vladimir Putin, illustrating the lasting impact of their methods and strategies. The KGB's profound manipulation of global political landscapes, and the pervasive culture of suspicion and fear it left in its wake, continues to echo through modern intelligence practices, influencing contemporary political and economic arenas. The KGB wasn’t just an agency; it was a powerful entity that manipulated the very fabric of global politics, leaving a legacy of fear, manipulation, and covert control that is still felt today.

I cannot believe that this happens in the USA now.
The kgb did way more than psychological torture.
Rhodesia did not have, never had, an apartheid policy, over 80% of the regular Rhodesian Army was made up of black Rhodesians. Get your facts right.
Now the oppressors are the victims? Gtfoh
Ahh yes my daily amount of CIA sponsored propaganda.
It wasnt the KGB at that point was the NKVD and its predecessor the chekka.

Why darkest , why ?
I read a book on the Spanish Flu that was published in about 2015. At the end of the book were several citations from the modern CDC’s website. One such citation was that “masks were ineffective at combatting influenza.” 🤦♂️
Wanrong resembled Alfre Woodard of a 1996 miniseries.
Japan played a race card of East Asian right wing solidarity of a failed attempt to try to recreate Mongolian Empire only for "Orient" to become derogatory so Hollywood serials, Manhattan Comic books, and periodical pulps engaged in of xenophobic racism to Trekkie episode "Omega Glory" so my father who was part Chinese was roughed about in of WWII Cleveland, OH. so later upstream Detroit autoworkers murdered Vincent Chin mistaking him for Japanese.
I don't give an F about this.
But you care enough to leave a stupid comment.
Unfortunately, your algorithm disagrees.
Whatever, "MANlingehring"
A prank, in 1855? For 100 miles over the snow? Over rooftops and through walls? I don't think so. Hoaxes back then tended to be for money or fame. This would gain the "prankster" neither of those things. And the effort to travel 100 miles then isn't like today, it was harder and took much more time. No, this was something, but not a prank.
3:03 there we go
2:19 I prefer my plague doctor masks circumcised
Thats super small. 😂 be a 3' devil wandering around their village. Definitely a prank. I myself would be proud to hear schollared men say "hlthe devil is afoot!". Especially without TV In 1855. 😂
Though they may sound fascinating to anthropologists, their uncontacted status is their savoir.
Most probably done by some local prankster or deviant
How are the gulags any better than the concentration camps?
I have no Problem with people of Faith as long as you don't force your faith on me
see if you can spot the non russian illustrations.
please keep the way you narrate and continue to improve this channel. thank you.
Far out dude
This is the worst bullshit lie I have ever read. Fuck you asshole.
We know he was a recruiter for the children's crusade.
I thought I read somewhere that the Piper was a man who would lure children out of the village and kill them - a medieval serial killer
and round and round we go. when will it end? People are making careers from racism.
While everything may have happened, I take issue with your showing of unrelated, modern political photos. This tragedy clearly was conducted by a group of soldiers (which we do not know their orders) and your extension to continued anti race historical and modern life is irresponsible. Please - posting pictures of modern day rappers had nothing to do with this historical event.
Multiculturalism never works.... cultures have different values and morals therefore should be policed by their own.
Multiculturalism never works. Ask Babylon, Rome, Atlantis ...ect.
Why was he called pied? Doesn't that mean spotted/speckled? Did that refer to his outfit, or his person?
The common explaination in Germany is that there was a advertiser for a new settlement who took with him a large part of the young adults. The rest is embellishment to make the story spectacular :)
This video sucked.
Race baiters suck .... not even close to the holocaust you pathetic snowflake
Ah, more race-baiting Bull Shit. Stuff it.
The white soldier prison camps were no picnic either.
What people don't understand is that under such circumstance it is less about race and all about power. The Union was just as harsh to Southern POW's as the South was toward Union POW's. Give a man the flimsiest excuse to hate and he will get bigger and harder than Johnny Wad to wage cruelty and terror against that enemy, regardless of race, color, religion, or even the street they live on just...because. Cruel, sociopathic creatures posing as human care only for their power over everyone else. Small, petty creatures scurrying about, shades of men with no passion or talent outside the exercising of horrors upon their fellow humans. Insatiable pits of despair, never to be satisfied until they consume themselves through the flames of their own self-loathing.
Is the narrator a woman or.....?
There's a tale from another place in the same time period of children of unknown origin coming out of a cave.
Are you referring to the "Green Children of Woolpit" in 12th century England?
@@dwellyn No, I think this was a different story. Though I have heard of the green children.

What are you talking about?
Pied Pieper was a pedo in a clown suit.

This has NEVER been a democratic society, it has always been a republic since our founding.
He's indirectly responsible for the modern world............... From Comic Books, Anime, Current Wars, arguably Video Games and the Internet.
Y’all can blame him but no one man is responsible for starting war it takes a lot of wheels in motion.
Great video. Wish I heard the end.
Crap, not sure why it cut out. Thanks for letting me know!
Just saying i havent met a black person with white lips or eyes. It should be renamed panda face.
Then indigenous women of America are not Africans. We are indigenous to this land we have tripes and nations. We are not Africans. We did not come over here on a fake slave ship. They did not have ships back then. They had sailboats so therefore you cannot short a curse for you to travel. If the wind is taking you where you are going, stop believing the lie when we were growing up, our grandparents taught us. What tribe we came from nothing's about Africa. It did not exist in the midst education school to prison pipeline
While these women reveled as one May say against the law …. The law needs to be changed on the legal books.
