In the wake of revolution, the Bolsheviks promised justice, equality, and a new world. But behind the slogans and red banners was something far darker.

Between 1918 and 1922, hundreds of thousands — perhaps millions — were executed, starved, tortured, or simply erased under Lenin’s regime. The Red Terror wasn’t a reaction. It was a policy — cold, calculated, and justified in the name of progress.

In this episode, we uncover the hidden genocide that reshaped Soviet Russia and ask why, over a century later, the world still refuses to face it. From rural executions and secret prisons to Western complicity and modern ideological echoes, this is a history that was buried — and must now be unearthed.

In 1985, French intelligence agents bombed Greenpeace’s flagship vessel, the Rainbow Warrior, while it was docked in New Zealand — killing a crew member and sparking an international scandal. The mission, codenamed Opération Satanique, was designed to silence anti-nuclear protests in the Pacific. Instead, it exposed a covert act of state sabotage by a Western ally.

This episode unpacks the planning, the cover-up, and the global fallout that followed — revealing how far governments will go to protect their interests, even at the cost of diplomacy, truth, and human life.

During the Cold War, NATO backed secret "stay-behind" armies across Europe, preparing to resist a Soviet invasion. But in countries like Italy, these clandestine networks became something else entirely — implicated in terrorism, political manipulation, and a covert war on democracy itself.

This episode investigates Operation Gladio, a decades-long covert strategy involving intelligence agencies, right-wing extremists, and false flag attacks. What began as a defensive operation may have evolved into something far more sinister — a campaign of fear to steer the West’s political future.
