After a viral Tik Tok conspiracy claimed there was a “true story” behind the hit series “Squid Game,” Jake goes down the rabbit hole trying to separate fact from fiction.  The Tik Tok people were very wrong, and what we discover instead is far more horrific.  Julian and Brad are forced to cope as Jake tells the devastating story of “Brother’s Home”, an 80s era South Korean so-called ‘Wellness Center’ that turns out to be anything but.

You guys have perfect timing. I needed something to fall asleep till tonight, nothing like Julien shouting [beeeeeeppp] for a restful sleep

Jesus fuck that is a grim description.

Thanks Jake, I hate it.

Duncan

Instead of using a stamp instead of an autopen machine, why not a wax seal like a king? That’s what I want to see.

Guy who's only seen Squid Game, seeing something bad happen in South Korea: Getting a lot of Squid Game vibes from this...

Biden looks like he's been Get Outed but you can see from his eyes shifting uncomfortably that he's still in there somewhere

horrifying choice, jake, but thanks for covering it. south korea’s very dark history gets glossed over too frequently

Brent

You learn as a kid: Some animals eat their own young. You learn as an adult: Humans are so much worse.

Ian

The Oscar nominated film Nickel Boys, from last year, is about this happening in Florida in the sixties.

Even if Jill signed things, Eleanor set the precedent. MAGAs might know that if they were literate. This is the worst timeline.

I really hope I’m right and there is no god. The alternative is too disturbing.

it's canon: Julian, like Snowden, likes his steam hentai date sims

Great episode so far but I don’t know if I will be able to finish it tbh.

Jess C

You know what Jake? I AM in bed! I was not expecting this ep to be so fucked up! That was awful, thank you! I asked my husband to listen to an exciting fun new Jake ep with me on his day off and I am relieved my husband didnt take me up on that offer because I falsely told him it would be a romp. Also I am totally down with calling the USA evil, but of what I hear from people in formerly Soviet states they don't have fantastic things to say about communism either. The corrupt evil power hungry freaks seemed to be different flavours of fucked during the post-war era.

Teijo

Hold up, does the USA NOT have all day breakfast? Catch up Canada passed that law like 7 years ago. Honestly around the time pot was legalized 🤣

Anneliese Levy

Last night I dreamt that Julian was in a relationship with Sandra Bullock. That's all. (I think I may have been listening to too much QAA).

John Brandkamp

This episode just might be the darkest one yet. And as a former conservative Presbyterian, of course it was the fucking Presbyterians in South Korea.

John Brandkamp

And they had deep ties to the KCIA.

HonestEd

Horrifying story, that TikTok guy should suck start a shotgun tho

G

Blowback mentioned

Garth Hansen

Amazing how they keep making "over the top" jokes and jake is like....well it's worse

Simone Meltesen

South Korea learned terror from the best: the USA. The children being stolen off the streets of s Korea werw no different from the babies being stolen in Palestine TODAY and thrown in cages by the USA/israel. Or being stolen in the USA and thrown in cages. This is all still happening. Capitalism and believing money is more important than life is a fucking death cult.

Levi Kacher

Absolutely fucking disgusting someone is able to take bits and pieces of something tragic and heartbreaking as the Brothers Home concentration camps and just flip it to something completely unrelated in order to garner attention. Really had an opportunity to showcase people that democratic institutions like South Korea are just harbingers of the most ruthless people in history. Instead, the dipshit had to connect it to a Netflix series because Americans have the attention and perception of goldfish. Can’t remember which host said this but Americans really do have this moronic innate ability to only connect things to the cultural slop they’re ingesting at the time.

It's really sad how zionists and their sick ideology was influencing america in the 1960s.

I think it's just a matter of "the thing about fascism is that it's bad" - regardless of the political leanings of said fascists

Em
>>168655087

what about Nancy "Mommy" Reagan?!

Em
>>168653259

yeah - as a westerner (outside of the US to boot) it's way too easy to get it in your head that SK = "good" / NK = "bad"

all pronunciations of NES and SNES are valid ❤️ I do not know why I pronounce each individual letter in "NES" yet still say "Sness" but I do and I can't change (even if I tried, even if I wanted to)

wollymight

this episode is really good, thanks for capping it with the conspiracy theory at the end to help ground us after all that horrifying info

Blake

This one was really dark.

"It is our god given right to be high at work" amen brother

Jason Zhang

I like how they only got him on embezzlement charges. Like they don't care about the child slavery and abuse, but misappropriating the funds the government gave them to sweep up undesirables? Unforgivable.

Orlando

“It is our god-given right in these horrible times to be extremely high at work.”

The Preposterich

Jesus Christ boys, this one is so depressing that it's borderline unlistenable 😞

Interested Third Party

You can do anything, anything at all if you label it anti-communist. A lot of Americans are going to/are already in the process of learning this lesson unfortunately.

Daraka Larimore-Hall

Every once in a while I get a reminder of the "dirtbag left" influences in your otherwise excellent podcast. Listing to that super cringe ahistorical rant about the US was painful. Of course the US has committed all kinds of atrocities and injustices, but talking about the Cold War as if the US was a unilateral atrocity engine and not one bloody half of a great power struggle is just naive. Countries aren't good guys and bad guys. This is an important story about inexcusable abuses done in part in the name of anti-Communism, a story that should be told and re-told. But you don't have to erase what was happening north of the border or elsewhere under Communist governments.

Daraka Larimore-Hall
>>168707455

To be specific, the US was hardly Nazi Germany's main or only rival for being evil. Hitler's 1930s ally, the USSR was in the middle of killing off the last old Bolsheviks, swelling the Gulag and using genocidal ethnic cleansing to create Russian enclaves throughout its empire. Of the three, Stalin wins on domestic victims by a Longshot. It's just silly to leave this out to dunk on the US.

James Edward Smith
>>168707455

People like you still being mad at the "dirt-bag left" after the last 10 years is just as responsible for where we are as qanon.

Jacob King

Horrible story, thanks.

Jacob King
>>168707455

I’m not sure ahistorical is the correct framing. Requiring anyone talking about the abuses committed under capitalism to reference similar abuses under communism leads to either justification of the crimes of the anti-communists or a liberal paralysis. Both sides is not a strong historical argument it’s just a way to avoid looking clearly at history.

Virgil918
>>168707455

If you aren’t a dirtbag leftist what in gods green (but rapidly browning, due to capitalism) earth are you doing in a QAA patreon comments section?

Schwartz666

Jfc... People that use Christianity to justify atrocities never fail to break my brain (further).

Rachel L.

incredibly bleak, it's also infuriating that this came from an influencer trying to make a bogus connection to an tragic human rights violation that is still not fully recognized today.

Flem Candango

I rarely comment, but I need to say that this was an excellent episode. Great work Jake.

Mac-something
>>168707455

@virgil918 if you have to be a dirt bag leftist to be here then what are the likes of Travis, Anne and Brad doing on this podcast as hosts?

Mac-something
>>168680394

South Korea was a tinpot dictatorship throughout the entire period of this story. Actual democratisation was only starting at the end of this grim story.

James Edward Smith
>>168707455

Yeah, Virgil's comment is dumb. There's tons of liberals and various other people who listen to QAA. It's not the Antifada or something. But I'm serious, you liberals need to get over the fact that people farther left than you are going to say you are wrong or dumb, and say things you don't agree with about your beloved democratic party and they aren't going to agree to continue to have the CIA and US state department approved view or history or current events. Stop being so mad about this. You don't have to agree with us, but you have a very simple choice: ally with us, or ally with the right. It's up to you. Insulting us will never change anything we believe or do.

Finbar

Thank you Jake

Most of the time in cases like this, where a violent criminal will be charged with an administrative sounding charge like tax evasion, or in this case, embezzlement, it's because this will be the easiest charge they can take to court and get a conviction on.

Ruth Kiszka
>>168681870

Watching a genocide start up again gets me upset. Are you one of those progressive except for palestine blood drinking vampiros?

Brad

adoption...yay. Like regular infant adoption isn't straight up human trafficking.

LaLaLaLuci
>>168655087

I like it less because I like her less, but you’re absolutely right. There is clearly a bipartisan feminist shadow government. Which to be clear, I fully support.

fredbaroque

"Jake... Close your miiiind..." 😆

ABAYARTS

every time they play a tiktok clip with the spooky music and someone dumping info lol.

Gab

I don’t know what this says about me, but as a longtime listener this is the first episode I’ve ever had to turn off and don’t know when I’ll have the stomach to finish. Bravo, Jake. Harrowing reporting.

Anaxamander
>>168746542

I guess but maybe in a good way? I disagree with most of the process though, there's got to be more efficient ways to source, vet and support adopters and adoptees. The financial burden is crazy

Anaxamander

This episode hurt, knowing that I know some, well, adults now, that were adopted from Korea under mysterious circumstances around that time. We haven't gotten much better either, do many easy ways to slip back into this

Brad
>>168746542

In the US, at least, we commodofy humans in service of family building and the fertility industry. There are 22 hopeful adopter couples vying for every 1 available baby. This puts pressure on the multi-billion dollar/yr industry to engage in shady shit like not looking too hard at the first mile of intl adoptees' journeys, and center the adopters over the child. Sure, you can have a good adopted life, but nobody asked me if I was cool having my identity erased to fix some couple's fertilitt problems.

Overzealous Euthanasiast
>>168707455

Might be worth looking into the history of American destabilisation of other vulnerable countries using the CIA and funding literal fascist brutal leaders overseas to kill off any left wing popular parties, cos if you truly knew the extent you wouldn't be so blasé about this. Would seriously recommend the podcast 'Blowback' - it hasn't covered everything yet but it goes deep into the historical details using leaked information, FOI reports, whistleblower testimonials and outright admittions of politicians years on from the times, cos if you're honestly serious about seeking justice, fighting for left wing progress and combatting the creeping rise of far right fascism, I cannot overstate how necessary it is to at least understand the obstacles, resistances and tactics consistently deployed to stamp out left wing progress in its many forms, so we can form new methods and techniques to uphold solidarity, maneuver around and achieve actual results for the future of our bleakly self destructive state of species. We can't keep up the naivety like this cos every damn time we getting blindsided by the ruthless underhanded tactics of the right wing for over century (at least!) already. We need results not vibes.

Em
>>168681870

no; I too am very upset by what Israel is doing. I just don't know if specifically this is the best approach - my question was a solid 85-90% earnest. like it does kind of read as though you're doing a bit.

Schwartz666

🎵 Alien, you looks good, won't you back that moon up

Ruth Kiszka
>>168681870

What is the best way to speak out about genocide? I usually am joking but not this time. Idk about anyone else but isn't it starting to look like the zionists in the establishment are betraying america? Where are the ppl speaking up about how we are firing Americans while giving israel another 16 billion?

Em
>>168655087

oh she's a POS - but so was her husband, hence the ease of her picking up all of his slack (not to be a cunt to ppl living w/ dementia; it's not "slack" when you literally cannot do it I'm just being flippant) at the tail end of his presidency. incidentally, I like to think that her autopen had actually signed 'Nancy "Mommy" Reagan'

Jeremy Olivier

Brad was deported during the last part of this episode. RIP.

Speaking of Sandra Bullock (and of Korea), do you remember when Sandra Bullock told Ellen Degeneres that she uses like a face cream made from the foreskins of circumcised Korean infants? I’m shocked that QAnonners don’t talk about this more often, frankly, because it’s wild. I looked it up to see if I was even remembering a real think, and I was. The serum isn’t so much made directly from foreskins but rather from stem cells taken from foreskins. I’m sure that the reason they’re Korean foreskins is that South Korea has a very large and high-tech beauty industry and a higher rate of circumcision (thanks to American influence) than most countries, so it was probably developed there. Still seems ethically pretty dubious to me, and kind of a fucked up thing to joke about on the Ellen show. So yeah, if Julian starts looking younger all of a sudden maybe it’s because his girlfriend Sandy Bullock is giving him some of her Korean foreskin adrenochrome.

we had it in Australia (not legal weed; all day Macca's bfast) for a time - over the last few years it's been gradually defanged and as it currently stands is literally just all-day hash browns. Sad!

Me: Hahaha what a fun good start to this episode I love being high at work Me 30 min later: oh my god no

One of my favorite things is Jake becoming more and more of a leftist and coming to the comments and watching all the mostly Lib folk be like I don’t necessarily agree with what he says about Obama. Additionally, C.O.P.S was a great show fighting crime in the future time.

Last Years Man

After reading the description, it took me several days to gather the courage to press play on this. Here we (reluctantly) go....

PJzae

Love the pod and Julien, but the US was “by far the most evil country after WWII”? Just a belligerent commentary, especially considering Mao’s reign dwarfs all the terrible things the US and other countries did combined. Not to defend it, but let’s stay in the realm of reality on a podcast whose theme is NOT spreading falsehoods.

Daraka Larimore-Hall
>>168707455

LOL. I'm not a liberal. I'm a third generation socialist who grew up hearing all the whataboutisms that people seem to think they invented. I visited the USSR twice and worked politically with socialists in a bunch of post-Communist countries. As is usually the case, people are going ape on a bunch of straw men because their view of Left history is cobbled together from social media posts rather than any connection to political struggle before 2016. People have already discovered how horrid the US is, has been, and is likely to be. They already went through the myopic and ultimately so American view that all world evil centers on the US, and any of its enemies must be virtuous in comparison. They went through this, went on detours through cultish sects and then, usually, got over it and stopped having a noob attitude about fighting capitalism.

Daraka Larimore-Hall
>>168707455

As for why I'm here, it is because this is an excellent program that has done phenomenal work on exposing and analyzing a major element of MAGA Fascism. It is funny and the research is good. That doesn't mean I like every offhand comment by every host. It's clear when people are way outside of their brief and just riffing.

No Relation to Henry

Did not expect so many patriots in the comments section to be upset by Julian pointing out that the US is in fact the Great Satan.

Hey real quick, how many countries has China bombed, overthrown, or directly aided in the bombing of or crushing of democracy? How many autocracies does China directly fund the military of?

PJzae
>>168983384

“Hey real quick, let’s toss aside the tens of millions that died thanks to Mao and his famines, genocides, and other totalitarian actions.” China funds the largest dictatorship in the history of the world, its own. They also directly fund North Korea, Russia, … oh I see your questions are a joke, right?
