USS Liberty – Part Three: Legacy of a Controversy

History Declassified ·

2025/12/02

In the final part of this three-episode investigation, we examine the evidence that has shaped the USS Liberty debate for more than fifty years. Declassified NSA intercepts, internal Navy correspondence, CIA memoranda, and the testimony of senior military officials reveal a record that does not align with the official explanation of “mistaken identity.” This episode breaks down the contradictions: the precise radio jamming, the recalled American aircraft, the omissions in the Naval Court of I...

The USS Liberty – Part Two: The Aftermath & the Silence

History Declassified ·

2025/11/26

In the hours after the attack, the surviving crew of the USS Liberty begin to realise that the official story forming around them doesn’t match what they lived. As the ship limps to Malta and the first interviews begin, survivors are urged to keep their accounts brief, avoid speculation, and accept a narrative that feels increasingly disconnected from the reality burned into their memories. Part Two follows the Liberty through its chaotic rescue, the rushed inquiry, and the first troubling si...

History Declassified ·

The Witch Trials — Faith, Fear, and Fire

History Declassified ·

2025/11/20

Between the 15th and 18th centuries, tens of thousands of people — most of them women — were tortured and executed across Europe and America in one of the darkest chapters of human history. They called it a holy war. A war against evil itself. But it was really something far simpler — and far more human. Fear. From the icy valleys of Switzerland to the burning fields of Germany, from the courts of England to the Puritan colonies of New England, panic spread like a plague. Neighbours denounced...

The Knights Templar – Bankers of God

History Declassified ·

2025/11/14

They began as humble knights sworn to protect pilgrims in the Holy Land. Within two centuries, they commanded fleets, fortresses, and a financial network that stretched across Christendom. The Knights Templar were the world’s first international organisation — trusted by nobles, feared by monarchs, and answerable only to the Pope. But independence made them dangerous. In 1307, France’s King Philip IV accused them of heresy, seized their wealth, and burned their leaders at the stake. Behind th...

The Burning of Carthage - Rome's Final Punic War

History Declassified ·

2025/11/12

In the spring of 146 BC, flames consumed the great city of Carthage. Once the richest port in the ancient world, Carthage stood for centuries as Rome’s only equal — a maritime power built on trade, science, and diplomacy. But prosperity made it dangerous. What followed was not conquest, but extermination. Rome besieged the city for three years, starved its people, burned its temples, and enslaved its survivors. Then it buried the truth beneath propaganda that painted Carthage as barbaric and ...

2025/11/04

December 1945. The war is over, Europe lies in ruins — and America’s most feared general is restless. George S. Patton, the man who broke the Nazis, now warns that the Soviets are the next enemy. He plans to speak out, expose secret deals, and tell the world that “we fought the wrong foe.” Days before his return to America, a slow-moving truck crosses his path. Within hours, he is paralysed. Twelve days later, he’s dead. Was it a tragic accident… or a silencing ordered from the highest levels...

The Bilderberg Group - Origins of a Global Elite

History Declassified ·

2025/11/02

Since 1954, a select group of political, corporate, and media elites have met every year under one rule — complete secrecy. They call it the Bilderberg Group. To its defenders, it’s a private forum for free discussion between Europe and America — a space to speak honestly about global challenges. To its critics, it’s the ultimate symbol of unaccountable power: a shadow network of influence shaping policies behind the scenes. In this 40-minute deep dive, History Declassified uncovers the true ...

The Iranian Revolution - From Shah to Sharia

History Declassified ·

2025/10/28

Tehran, 1979. The streets are on fire. Students and clerics march together, chanting the same words for very different reasons. On one side — the Left: Marxists, feminists, workers, and poets who dream of liberation. On the other — the devout: followers of Ayatollah Khomeini, convinced they are serving the will of God. Together, they bring down a king. Together, they celebrate victory. And then, one by one, they disappear. History Declassified uncovers the real story of the Iranian Revolution...

The Vril Society - Occult Roots of the Third Reich

History Declassified ·

2025/10/25

In the chaos following Germany’s defeat in the First World War, strange ideas took root — myths of ancient races, cosmic energies, and secret knowledge waiting to be rediscovered. From Victorian fiction to occult salons in Munich, the word Vril began to circulate: a mysterious life force that could heal or destroy, governed by will alone. This episode traces how a novel became a doctrine, how mysticism merged with ideology, and how the pursuit of hidden power helped shape the mindset of the N...

Garden of Death - The Truth Behind the Assassins

History Declassified ·

2025/10/23

Hidden in the mountains of 11th-century Persia, Hassan-i Sabbah built a fortress that would become legend — Alamut, the Eagle’s Nest. From its shadowed halls, he forged a new kind of weapon: men who killed without hesitation, who died without fear, and whose faith made kings tremble in their beds. They were the Hashashin — the Order of Assassins. To their enemies, they were demons. To their followers, martyrs. To history, the birth of an idea so potent that it outlived empires. This episode o...

Sealed In Silence - The Secrets of Unit 731

History Declassified ·

2025/10/21

In the frozen outskirts of Manchuria stood a facility erased from official history. Between 1932 and 1945, thousands of men, women and children were subjected to vivisection, plague infection, frostbite trials and other experiments in the name of progress. When the war ended, the evidence was burned — and the data sold. This investigation from History Declassified exposes the origins of Unit 731, the ideology that fuelled it, and the secret bargain that allowed its architects to walk free. N...

Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade is undeniable — brutal, far-reaching, and profitable. But what happens when the same nation that built a global empire on human bondage becomes the first to dismantle it? In this episode of History Declassified, we investigate the real story of Britain’s abolition of slavery. From Wilberforce to the West Africa Squadron, from grassroots resistance to naval crusades, we expose how moral conviction collided with economic power — and how one empire...

Blood and Silence - The Bolshevik Genocide

History Declassified ·

2025/06/11

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 c...
