The Moonies Cult in Korea Believed Their Leader To Be The Next Messiah.

The Mountain Man That Survived A Brutal Bear Attack.

In 2015 a film called The Revenant was released, about a man who was attacked by a bear and left for dead by his fellow trappers in a harsh, empty landscape. The ferocity of the bear was violent, graphic and intense and all based on a true story. The story of Hugh Glass, a larger than life American hero who survived impossible odds, facing starvation, death and violence, but managed to tell his tale.  Thanks to Mike Meyers for the theme music, you can follow him on X @themikeshow42.

The Moonies Cult in Korea Believed Their Leader To Be The Next Messiah.

The Japanese occupation of Korea lasted from 1910 to 1945, in which Japan spent their time systematically wiping out any sort of Korean culture and religious beliefs, stating that the Koreans should follow Japanese culture, traditions and beliefs. This erasure of Korean culture left many Koreans feeling lost and wanting to hold on to something familiar to them. The Korean preacher, Sun Myung Moon started to preach, bringing Christianity slowly back into Korea, despite the protests of Japan. However, Moon has had his own objectors and those who believed that he wasn’t just preaching the word of God, he was brainwashing and manipulating his followers into spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on artifacts, items that would promise to take away the sins of their ancestors and lead to future good luck. Not to mention the mass weddings that were held, people who would be meeting their future spouse for the first time, some not even speaking the same language.

(RE-RELEASE!) The Truth About The Real First Thanksgiving.

For many in the United States, the story of the first Thanksgiving often paints a picture of harmony, where the Pilgrims and Native Americans sat down together to share a peaceful meal. This version of history, while widely taught, seems overly idealized when we examine the darker reality of European colonization in the Americas. As we grow older and learn more about the harsh treatment of Native peoples by European settlers, it becomes clear that the cheerful Thanksgiving narrative is a sugar-coated version of the truth. In reality, these disease-ridden Europeans arrived in the Americas, seized land, and wiped out hundreds of thousands of Native Americans through violence, disease, and forced displacement.

The Woman Who Ordered Lampshades Out of Human Skin.

They called her the Bitch of Buchenwald, she was Lady Commandant, the wife of the Nazi Commandant Karl Koch. Her and her husband’s crimes were so brutal, that even the Nazis felt that they went over the top in their sadistic cruelty. Ilse in particular was found terrifyingly fascinating, as she allegedly ordered lampshades, book covers and other items to be made out of human skin. #notyourhistoryclasspodcast #ilsekoch #bitchofbuchenwald #monsteredgein #worldwar2 #history #nazi #ryanmurphy #hitchcock #texaschainsawmassacre #psycho #silenceofthelambs Thanks to Mike Meyers for the theme music, you can follow him on X @themikeshow42.
