Love your channells😊😊😊
Some join the military in a dictatorship with the hope you never draw the ire of the government, not just for a steady income. With the analogy of a cardgame in mind I can only imagine feeling like you drew a messed up hand in the crazy arse game we call life... You do the right thing by not killing the innocent only to be _thrown into prison for it!!_

Hi Simon. What happened to your GED video? It was one of the most shocking and soul crushing vids on this and among the top 5 even among all your channels. Hope these people didn't sue you as mentioned how they did to many others in the video itself? I was about to share it...again but the video is made private now and can't even be viewed.
slam has no problem with murdering or torturing anyone they consider a hypocrite or anyone who isn't Muslim, including ex Muslims. Indeed, this dates back to Mohammed himself. More than that, Islam considers it heavily recommended for little girls to have their clitoris cut off, or far worse. Search online for FGM, or female genital mutilation. This is widespread practice all through the Islamic world. This means women cannot enjoy sex. This is just a taste of what Islam has to offer, especially to women.
Syrian here. I have been trying to educate people on the crisis for almost two years. Very few people are doing it and even fewer are actually from Syria. Thank you SO MUCH for bringing light to Assad's horrors.
Peace be with you, friend. The horrors that some enact don’t reflect all of humanity. Much love and support from Hawai’i.
As a American I heard story's here and their so I figure it had to be bad real bad in your country and the war didn't help matters either. I hope your country can heal in the future and the people can all come together as one..
Salam Ahk,. Didn’t know you was on UA-cam
You have my love & appreciation for your struggle.
I am so very sorry.
For whatever good it will do, I try to make myself aware of stories such as this...
I only wish that those with the power to affect change would do the same.
I increasingly believe however, people who crave power are not like us, they seem to lack empathy, sympathy or pity.!
Please keep yourself safe & best wishes from Scotland 🏴 🙏 ♥
Good thing we destroyed the whole place, gotta help when you can right ?
Thank you so much for talking about this
I lost my uncle in that prison
He was a teacher he was going to his job and got arrested
We never heard from him since 2014
May there be justice for him some day iA 💚💔
I'm so sorry about your uncle, this place is clearly beyond barbaric. The world needs to know about it, and should have known years ago. The Assad regime must end.
@Julie C thank you for your kind words.
I'm so sorry for your loss. May your uncle rest in everlasting peace.
Alah yerhamu
I don't remember Simon giving a briefing/warning at the beginning of a video like that before. I knew this one was going to be rough. My compassion goes out to those suffering in that hell hole.
you should be glad Isis doesn't rule Syria today lol
@@furkandk2234Isis Never ruled anything
Held a few towns in northern Syria
The war was always Assad Vs pro democracy forces
Isis influence was inflamed for propaganda
It only worked on the most stupid ppl in the West...the American right
@@furkandk2234And Like The Assad Regime is any better than ISIS.
I just watched a Rotten Mango podcast that did the same thing. It was about a Japanese highschooler that was tortured for 45 days. One of her kidnappers was a classmate. She never made it and the perps got off lightly. They are all out with new identities to protect them.
Idk if you watch any of his other channels, he does a true crime one too and one of his catchphrases for that one is "more CSI, less Saw", which just drives it home even more.
This is what evil means. I lived in Damascus from 2005 to 2009. The keyboard player in the band i played in was arrested and sent to Saidnaya for being in the wrong car with the wrong people in 2011. He was never heard from again. Now i have some idea of what he may have gone through and it makes me sick to my stomach
Believe me, every week more than 300 people die so 0.1% survival rate
He sounds like a criminal
Simon, I like it when your anger seeps through in videos. It makes the video and commentary more visceral, if that makes sense. Thanks for sharing something I knew nothing about that will stay with me for quite a while.
you should be glad Isis doesn't rule Syria today lol
You will not believe this man's Islamophobic lies. For the sake of you and your family you will now forget this video.
@@furkandk2234just because it could be worse, doesn't mean it's good
Oh you are being tortured in one way? Atleast you aren't being tortured in a more painful way
@@furkandk2234I don’t think there’s much difference between Assad and Isis.
Every single guard of that prison and anybody in the government of Syria that fully knows this is happening should be put against the wall.
I saw your comment at the start of this video and thought it was a bit much. Now coming back after watching the whole video I couldn't agree more.
They won't, lol. Assad won. All the Jihadist rebels have left is Idlib.
I feel the same for anyone who abuses any disabled person. Some people have lost their ability to be human.or maybe they were born evil ?
Shite hole countries like that will never change
@@aussiepressconferences.4755 Humans gonna Human lol
When you read about detained human rights activists in Syria, the words “killed under torture” come up a lot.
And that's if they're lucky 😢
We say "never again" but the reality is that it's still happening every day, all around the world.
it's almost a mockery to say "never again," isn't it? It ignores that very real fact that we can't repeat what we never stopped doing in the first place.
@@RealElongatedMuskrat it certainly feels that way.
And it never stops!
I'm glad ITS is back in full form. Stories like this are hard to hear, but need to be told.
you should be glad Isis doesn't rule Syria today lol
@@furkandk2234it doesn’t matter who rules it. There’s no excuse good enough to have a prison like this.
@@ardenalexa94 no i don't agree with you
if Isis rules country
Syria will be much worse
They’re one and the same.
Excellent job. Bringing awareness about this is crucial. Thank you Simon!
He's not doing it to bring awareness. He's doing it so he can profit off of it.
@@golferorb he's doing both
Im so sorry for what happened to you
I hope all the prisoners can escape from that hell
@@greasyjim5644 Thank you for the kind words!
@@golferorb Well, if so, they I'm happy that our interests cross!
Thank you for shining a bright light on this horrendous death camp Simon and team! This one hurt my soul. It’s truly a shame that ISIL didn’t destroy this prison as well as the other one (Tadmore)! I’m very glad that you were able to share these victims’ stories and that Amnesty has completed a report on this horror. I hope that, by sharing this, that governments will now do something about it!
This one had to be incredibly difficult to research and write, but well done!
nobody can do anything about this prison apart from the syrians themselfs.
@susansorrie4549
Why did the Jews have to have plenty of help to get out of what was happening to them then? How can only the poorest, unarmed, and probably uneducated citizens be the only ones who can help themselves? Explain to me how you think that's going to happen if they have absolutely no weapons, no money, and no education?
@@gNOme_5 To answer the first part, there just so happened to be a world war that coincided with what was happening in the concentration camps. The scale of that and this are worlds apart, for now one can only hope the civil war plays out in their favour.
ISIS isn't a bouquet of roses either. Go to the Channel Disturbed Reality for the evil shit they get up to. They fit in fine with the Mexican Cartels and the lesser known Brazilian Drug Gangs
@@susansorrie4549 we tried, and we were carpet bombed. Between 500,000- 2 million were killed. Another 10 million displaced.
When it comes to places like these, I feel worse for the living than the dead. Because in this situation, survival is the worst option. Death is a warm embrace, and the dead are so lucky they're not enduring this anymore. If you survive, you're still being tortured. And even if you somehow end up physically safe, and out of that facility, you're never free from flashbacks and mental torment.
Exactly. This is actually a common graffiti in the walls of Syria. "The dead are lucky"
.
As someone who is usually numb to listening to this sort of stuff, this brought me to tears and my chest is in knots, I thought about turning it off but the people who are living or have lived through it don’t just to “turn it off” that’s their reality.
Also as a huge supporter of Amnesty international, I felt that this video is so incredibly important.
Amnesty is not perfect but I am glad for the work they've done in Syria documenting crimes by Assad and the US-backed, pro Assad SDF.
How do they verify any of this ?
@@jettjones9889 multiple interviews, scouring Arab and English language media for reports, and corroborating evidence by cross referencing testimony.
Amnesty is a joke
@Hayanomie what are you talking about the SDF is not a pro assad militia. it is anti assad, the US doesn't support anyone who supports assad
We spend so much time on things that happenes hundreds of years ago or just even before most of the population today was born, instead of focusing on the horrors that are going on right in front of us. Documentaries about WWII is running around the clock, same with black slavery in the US. But the horror camps/prisons and the horrific slavery that is happening today barely get a mention. It is so wonderful that you talk about these things, Simon. I wish more people would! We can not change the past, only learn from it... but we can fix the future if we dare talk about it.
Cool
Very well said!
It's much easier for those who have the power to make huge changes to ignore current atrocities so that they can continue to live in their golden bubbles of power, greed, and control.
Well, we were so fond of talking about Syria when ISIS was taking advantage of the civil war and building their own empire there. Once they were defeated, Syria disappeared from our news. Its almost like we only care about tragedy when it hits close to home...
Historians consider that at least a decade must pass before an event can be adequately analyzed historically
I genuinely don't think this would have the same gravitas if it wasn't for your presenting style. I was hooked throughout, and have been with every video I've seen during this mini binge.
So true. I wish I had the gravitas of Simon.
I have no words for this, I was left speechless and motionless while listening to it. How can such a place exist, and how can people allow it to exist?
Especially since this has happened before with the Nazis. And we never learned.
I talked to a syrian refugee once about being locked up in post-arab-spring syria. a short and scrawny introverted nerd sort of guy around 25-30. he got arrested because he worked as a camera operator for a TV station, which was close enough to a journalist. he couldn't lift his arms up high anymore because they hung him by the wrists behind his back. when they let him and some other detainees go, they made them crawl through barbed wire and shot some on the way out.
The cruelty is the point.
This isn’t even really a prison imo, but simply a giant torture chamber. Its for torture and death, not anything else
Every day 3-4 people die to this day
Sounded like a concentration camp to me
What got me the most was the letter talking about 215 prison and the atrocities that took place and at. The end Saydnaya was worse. Wow just wow.
That is just pure evil. When you think about things like the holocaust, you tend to imagine it as being the lowest of the low, and while not on the scale of that, in terms of treating people like sub human animals, I've never heard of anything so despicable in my life. Thsnk you for an educational, if highly disturbing video. The world needs to know about stuff like this.
And here comes North Korea saying "Hold my beer!"
Really important video, thank you for making it
My friends dad was a Syrian Jewish vegetable stall owner in Damascus market, who had been persecuted in Syria and he had to flee Damascus in 1967 when the last Jews were kicked out, leaving their homes and bank accounts behind them, which is why you won't hear much about them in this video.
He carried the 6 year old daughter of a handicapped Jew - who he didn't even know, that couldn't flee because he couldn't walk - on his shoulders as he fled, barefoot, to Israel.
There he met his wife - herself recently ethnically cleansed from Lebanon.
Since they both spoke a similar dialect of Arabic, they hit it off and my friend was born in Israel in 1969.
When he was drafted into the Israeli army at age 18, his dad was happy that he was a tank driver protecting the state - but he also told him that he had no idea how brutal the Syrian regime was.
He told him that if he ever found himself in battle against the Syrians, and it seemed he was going to be captured, he should save his last bullet for himself as if he was to fall to them, he would be better off dead.
... And this advice was from his father.
That's a really deep story. Sometimes people in America or 1st world countries fail to realize a couple hour plane ride away, true hell awaits...
Absolutely brutal. What a strong man
You won’t hear about it in this video because this video doesn’t cover that topic.
@@williamwinstrop3918 pretty sure ethnic tensions between Sunni and Shi'ites and others were addressed as factors in this video.
"Protecting the state" means killing Palestinians.
Thanks for this. It was so hard to watch. But so important.
Love it when you really put yourself into a story and add a little eloquence
He was the one who relapsed. That was his fault like it or not
@@photlam9769what are you talking about?
Thankyou for a full length video
The best Simon channel has returned
First off, I know this video must’ve been extremely difficult for Simon and the rest of the team. It was a service to us all. Thank you for doing it despite how many of us would’ve turned away due to how disturbing it is. You did well.
I’m 21 and American so “Syria” was a topic that was thrown with venom all through my teenage years. I always felt bad for them. I know the hard facts were that there have been zero terrorist attacks by Syrian refugees in the US or Canada and no one would risk their lives and the lives of the babies running with zero food, clean water, or assured home and safety unless what they were runnin from was untold horror.
I had no idea just how horrible it was. I had to pause the video many times cause I felt sick and needed to breath for a second. I am so so sad for them and I am in a rage that this was hidden. Not just Syria his this but the alt-right America who knew that anyone with a speck of empathy would welcome refugees if they knew how absolutely gut wrenching their story was. I had swayed a good few who claimed they only hated the illegals when I reminded them that there are many who flee terrorist organizations/cartels and their families and their own lives relied on the ability to disappear. If we had all know about shit like this prison, so many lives could’ve been saved.
I hope their souls rest in peace. They did not deserve what they went through. It was a travesty and it should never be forgotten. I hope the guards who participated willingly and the entire Syrian regime an eternity in hell. I wish them all the mercy they showed those they chose to victimize. Burn.
I heard some pretty bad things about all of the Middle East in the 2000s but ever since I've actually gotten into Syrian history, I really think they are pretty incredible. The far right are definitely the citizens that condemn Syria and Yemen and stuff, but honestly; Obama destroyed Yemen and Syria.
@@notrealy180217 that's not true the far right are cozied up to Assad he's got a red brown alliance
Great to see you're back. On this channel I mean.
Just came back to say that I tried, Simon, but I could not stomach this one. I was just too much. Thankful that you are shining a light on this atrocity, because it is just unbearable that people can do that to others 😢
you should be glad Isis doesn't rule Syria today lol
It's called reality, baby buttercup.
@@kylegreene1356baby? Who you calling a baby why dont you go to this prison and see whos the baby cause i know dam well you couldn’t survive a day here without going insane and there’s people here for weeks and months
@@kylegreene1356Well aren’t you edgy?
These videos are great.
You can hear the passion in Simon words if he could free them single-handedly he would
I've never heard about this before. It's like if a serial killer's dungeon was a state prison.
Yes, it's realistic, Nazism is back now against citizens
I learned about one really cool thing from this. I'd never even heard of Forensic Architecture before watching this.
They're great. So grateful for their work.

Welcome back, Simon.
i would love if simon and the crew would do an episode on Abu Ghraib. it's such an important part of our modern history and truly highlights the atrocities that the US and US troops committed in the middle east.
All lies
@@Markwaltonn5860it is all lies when you guys do it
OMG. There is almost nothing in common between the 2. WTF
As I am fascinated with motivational psychology, I have read and watched a great many accounts of things past and present. What strikes me most is that throughout all of it there's a commonality; the horrors we visit upon each other.
The times change, the methods may change, but it is always there, nonetheless. It is a sobering realization to accept that our great capacity for love and care is matched by our capacity of subjecting each other to abject terror simply because we can.
I try to hold onto the fact that the overwhelming majority of people are good and just want us all to live safely, happily, and in peace.
Maybe we’ll get there someday.
I was locked up here in the US for a few. I’m not ashamed to say that it took a serious mental toll. That shit was an effing summer camp compared to this place. Great vid.
Prisons even jails here are a summer camp to a place like that and here is something no one will mention about Americans despite the fact our government is far from perfect we at least cater to people because in county jail and state prison we have food options ranging from Hali, kosher, vegetarian, diabetic diet, liquid diet if that is whats called for and the regular diet every normal non Hali whatever person eats and we also offer various religious leaders to come to whether that be a monk, priest, pastor, rabbi and whatever they call their Islamic leader.. So of our course jail prison system is a summer camp compare to many other places but still not a place you want to be at end of day of course.
Not sure what is more surprising, the fact that this level of sadistic brutality still exists on this scale today. Or that there are any survivors to speak with.
Sadistic brutality has never not existed. Human nature
@@joetousley8024 This is true, history is full of examples. But that it still exists today is honestly surprising in a way
@@sparkplug1018 why?
@@joetousley8024 You’d think that in thousands of years we’d have learned to be a little nicer to each other. Fight sure, but torture and all that is something else
Another case of people doing horrific things because they can. How do Simon and his team sleep at night digging through all this (Warographics was a nightmare today, too)? My soul hurts. Kudos to Simon and his team for being justice warriors.
On top of piles of yt money lol. Jk jk
I did the same as you my Syrian friend, and I'm America with no connection to Syria, but followed the conflict long before cnn started following the fighting in Damascus etc. No one cared it seemed....it was and still is a tragedy and a mark against my people here in the states for their indifference. Still makes me sick to think about it.
this broke my heart
Thank you ❤
Man what a terrible place to be trapped in,
Watching this I got the same goose bumpy feeling I had when I watched videos about German concentration camps during the Nazi era. At multiple times I was close to crying but through the whole video I was disgusted.
Thank you for bringing more light on this horrid place. Hopefully it will be burned down and the people responsible for it brought to justice, even though I can't imagine how someone running this place and taking part in it could face any justice that is appropriate.
Best voice on UA-cam, hands down!
I've watched his other channels and he doesn't speak like this on them, i realise this is not a happy/chirpy channel but I'm finding his voice annoying. Sounds like hes impersonating Lloyd Grossman
How are people capable to perform this sort of torture it really hurts my soul.
Thank you for sharing this Simon. People need to know.
Hell yeah into the Shadows video
Finally... a new into the shadows video
Wow its been a while since you uploaded here
Drove by this place multiple times. It’s quite creepy in person.
Glad to see you finally decided to put an actual video up on this channel lol.
It's truly horrific what humans can do to each other. 😡
ayeeeee a long form for the first time in like 2 months!
Just to add more to the horrors I've heard about this prison.
- Once a pregnant woman was arrested and went to Sydania prison, The guards didn't beat her at first, after a while her husband also got arrested and brought into the prison, they proceeded to sexual assault for in front of her husband then they brought a saw and they started to cut her in half killing her and her baby.
- prisoners were forced to make it what's called a pyramid shape position (all prisoners which are in the same wing are forced to be on top of another to make a pyramid shape) then the guard proceeded to whip them with wire hooked with an axe at the end and lots of razors.
Still there are many stories that have not been told yet, I hope they do and those criminals get what they deserve.
Thank you for sharing about Saydnaya. The cruelty and depravity of this hellhole puts the Nazi death camps to shame, something I do not say lightly, having studied the Holocaust.
Hey Simon, maybe look into Goli otok (Barren island) prison camp, similar story at least in the first 5 years of operation
Simon, i just cant watch this any more. My heart just breaking...
Finally a full episode from my favorite simon channel and what an horrifying prison
Oh boohoo you didnt know anybody yet you still are trying to insert yourself
And a horrifying person: Assad
Jesus, a place like that you might as just fly a B52 over
Horrific conditions and situations. The victims are remembered and honored with the retellings.
This is a true hell on earth. I got chilled to my core a few times.
How did the people who got out get out? Surprising that they would release people
Families spend years and tens of thousands of dollars seeking info on detainees whereabouts. Some times there is a general "amnesty" where prisoners are (strategically) released after they've been forever traumatized and made sure not to be able to hold down a job any more let alone start a revolution.
Thank you, had the same question, horrible.
You know it's awful when I genuinely, and sincerely with all my heart ask myself: wouldn't it just be better if a huge airstrike indiscriminately destroys it? Ending their suffering and killing all the terrible regime guards. It's sad, but even a highly skilled special ops raid has no guarantee of success, possibly leading to more prisoners. Then again, if this one is destroyed or eventually shut down, what stops them from just relocating, and making a new one?
Nothing stops them, because good people do nothing.
It is horrific ans literally reminds me of that movie Hostel.😢😡😩💔😭
I couldn't make it through to the end. Horrific.
Could you make a program on how a person gets to be a guard in this facility ? It must be a rather bizarre job interwiew 🙄
Sounds like a job a serial killer would have no problem being able to get to be honest.
There should be another button other than like for horrific stories like this.
Yeah a wtf button
Jesus Christ this is so horrific
From my understanding of this prison in Syria, it's the equivalent to Treblinka or Auschwitz-Birkenau prisons from the Holocaust, on the same level of dehumanizing people
No, this is worse.
So it would be justified to invade this country and topple the regime?
@@grimnir6169 after finishing this video, I have to agree with you to some extent, that this prison is DEFINITELY WORSE than the Nazi labour and death camps, and at the same time say that both are equally EVIL and abominable, yes even with the Jews getting some form of recourse from the Nuremberg trials is good, whereas the poor people from this prison, upon getting out have no recourse which is sad in itself
It’s hard to understand the evil people can do to one another
Yes!! Especially in the name of religions.
@@Julia-uh4li Not religions. Only Islam does this. It is literally in their "holy" book.
@@scottdoesntmatter4409 So you say the tortures in the prisons were done in the name of Islam? Please, teach me about my religion, I see you are very educated on this
@@mahammadmammadzada6901 Most Muslims don't ever read the Quran or Reliance of the Traveler. Not even Buhkari. You are one of the many who refuse to read for yourself.
@@scottdoesntmatter4409 give me evidence from the Quran, please.

7:41 Im Christian and this hurts my heart. No one should have their beliefs/religion treated like this. That goes for non-religious, agnostic and atheists too.
What do you think of transgenders?
J R McKim, as an atheist, my soul burns when I think of these poor individuals stuck in a place not far to Hell have the one guiding force. Their one hope in many cases... is crushed and destroyed with such violence if you dare fight.

That’s the stuff of nightmares!!
OMFG. How can any human treat another this way? 😢
muslims do it on a daily basis.
@@nicholassmith8779ever heard of the king David hotel
If you can't see any similarity, let alone as human, that can eliminate any possibility for empathy, and can lead to even inanimate objects receiving better treatment.
Human nature, we'll always find ways to kill each other
Welp, it’s called the human slaughterhouse for a reason
Yes, because it's a house where people slaughter humans. Hence, the human slaughter house.
If you want to bake a human cake, your gonna need to crack some humans.
Hmm I thought Earth was the human slaughter house, this place might be able to add 1 drop to the buckets of blood spilled since human history started being recorded but they don't take the prize for most ruthless or disgusting, the medieval times already masterd that for ev's
That regime is cruel beyond reason. Violent and hateful to a level thars inhuman and baffles my mind.
The reason is ISIS, that is the alternative to Assad, yeah, he is a brutal dictator, the alternative is an islamic fundamentalist state that will do the same thing, and then export it enmasse with Jihad.
Simon why did your video about Fentanyl went private? I am pretty sure i just watched it yesterday wanted to send it to a friend when all of the sudden i cant find it. Then i check the link and it shows that this video is private. Please put it back up if possible. It was really insightful
This is absolutely horrifying. Not a fate I would wish on anyone.
I'm just somewhat confused as to why other countries governments don't take issue with this, isn't the whole thing with human rights that they must be preserved at all costs? Honestly it's pathetic how little backbone countries that claim to stand for freedom and things like that seem to have.
You'll think I'm a bit bizarely curious, but I would be so much interested to hear an interview of one of the guards.
Interviewing a sadist is not as exciting as it sounds. It is pretty simple, causing pain to others simply turns them on.
@@potatochalbro I guess you are beyond sadism when in this position, and also...they might suffer from kind of trauma...
They exist. Look up "Syrian army defectors" and they describe being coerced into it. It's like Germans SS officers. However the "shabiha" (hardcore Assad loyalists) literally believe this is all necessary to protect themselves since sunnis can't be trusted.
@@charlesjermyn5001if you know Arabic language you can easily find hundreds of videos in youtube of survived Syrians who were in Sydnaya prison and other detention centres in Syria and even find videos of many defected Syrian officers and soldiers and maybe even defected prison guards. believe me many of them couldn't handle the horrible Assignments they were assigned to and thier part of the stories even much more horrible than what you just heard here
Those familiar adds from Lockheed Martin lol
every single person apart of the syrian government should be put in that prison for allowing this to happen. this is beyond too far.....
Damn Simon's beard lookin majestic af
This is a very important topic you covered, massacres and tragedies that happened inside this prison will be taught to next generations about how cruel humans can get, remember everyone, people who died and who are still there are not numbers, they're people who had lives and families.
Believe me, every week more than 300 people die due to torture from 2011 to this day
Podcast this channel please!
Whew! This one is rough. This is only the second video I had to take a mental break from. The other one is well known to many here... Pedro Lopez.
The way this episode starts with the sponsor made me think for a second that Simon was saying being in a brutal Syrian detention camp was something we have all probably experienced. And its a good thing you have the logo on the screen because if people hover their mouse over a video like this on their homepage it will start to play from the beginning muted and the first thing they will see is Simon laughing and being all jovial, like wow what are you guys talking about?!
This video is interesting but also horrifying that just based on religion, you’re dehumanized.
Thank you Simon and the crew for all of your hard work!
People look for any excuse to push their views and get their way. Religion is often the easiest excuse to use.
What has all of this to do with religion? That revolution started for social and economic rights , Assad like any dictator slaughtered a whole nation to shut them up.
Religion spawns this behavior. It has for millennia, sadly.
@@Julia-uh4li wrong, atheist, your evangelism blinds you to the facts. Only Islam does this, it's in their Quran.
@@Julia-uh4liid rather be in a U.S. prison any day. Religion or not...
Damn... 😢
If there is truly no way to stop this atrocity, then I'm sure the remaining prisoners would consider anialation of the facility as it sits and runs, a blessed release from their endless torture
Government control over the people. Terrifying at its best. My experience is with the Oregon State foster system. I had my legal protection dismissed by my foster parents and later my legal guardians so that they could exploit government money for me.
Let me tell you some of the things I experienced. I was beaten with a belt across my back, I was forced to stay in my room for days at a time, most times there was no food or water. My foster mother once asked me to kill her execution style with a steak knife. Same foster mom rubbed my face in my own vomit in front of her family members and they just turned and walked away never said anything as far as I know.
In my State Records it is stated time and again that they acted in my "Best Interest". The government has failed. Exercise Bill of Rights.
I usually expect such gruesomeness from Casual Criminalist, but this was quite refreshing. Allegedly. Even the Lizard Overlords would get nauseous with this one. Cheers
Evan, well done. Excellent script. Absolutely phenomenal. Had to watch it twice. Mainly because I had to retch half way through the first time. And that's an accomplishment. Cheers
@@francislee174 Surprised me too. In my 60+ years I thought I was very jaded, but I got over it. Cheers
@@francislee174 Oh, it was only a little nausea. No projectiles. Seems to me that if you didn't get quesie from the description of the goings on, one should not be floating the word imbecile around. Or is that an uncaring heartless idiot? Cheers
👆 There seems to be an A-Hole in every crowd!
Could make for a good night serpent apophis, and sound like dangerous types without any reputation to worsen, hopefully it encourages their allies to find their own way rather than lash out though. And while dynastic successions can tend to bring out the worst in life, unlike the ram king khnum, god of potters, and while this one's definitely not a very hard act to follow or the best example, while taking much better pictures.
@@michaelborror4399 what kinda drugs you smoke to come up with that? Enlighten me.
i'm speechless ...
Can you cover the "camps" in China?
Why have survivors though? If you have a place like this and you obviously don’t want it getting out to the rest of the world how are you going to release some of the people?
I’m not saying that any of the events described aren’t real, I’m just very doubtful that it serves no purposes beyond aimless suffering because they do let a few out to tell the story it’s purpose is to rule by fear, to have the people know what awaits should they be caught defying the ruing group.
The take away from this is don’t allow yourself to be taken alive.
