July 5th, 2025 a predator in Nanjing, China is arrested. He’s been nicknamed, ‘Uncle Red’ and his face gets plastered on the news.

 

Finally. The community can breathe and go about their daily lives, right? No. Netizens instead start a boycott and it works. 

 

No future travel into or through Nanjing.

Gyms are shutting down. No one wants to visit. Some residents are ashamed to have an Nanjing address.

 

Suddenly the biggest online diss you can throw at someone on Chinese social media is telling them that their husband or father is from Nanjing.

 

It’s clear that after Uncle Red’s arrest, nothing and nobody is the same… but how the hell is an entire city impacted by one man’s arrest?

 

For that, all you have to do is log onto Chinese social media and you’ll see it. I’m talking, screenshots, gifs, full videos, memes, AI parodies of Uncle Red’s crimes...

 

Over a thousand graphic videos that captured hundreds of Nanjing residents in their most intimate moments between them and a partner.

 

They had no idea Uncle Red was recording them.

And they had no idea that the partner participating in the videos with them was actually Uncle Red too.

China's "Red Uncle/Sister Hong" Exposed W/ 1600+ Victims But Became The Biggest MEME

The police had a strange situation on their hands.

A thief had broken into a multi-million dollar home - to steal a safe.

The safe had 3 items in it.

Jewelry.

Investment documents.

And the home owner’s old phones.

The police were able to quickly determine that the thief did not want the jewelry or the investment documents in the safe. Which means - the thief is going after the home owner’s old phones.

Why would a thief want some old phones? Was there something on there that they didn’t want anyone else to see?

But most puzzling is - who would do this to Goo Hara?

The home belonged to a k-pop idol who had just died just 49 days ago.

What did they want from her safe?

And how does this connect to the Burning Sun case?

#373: Burning Sun’s K-Pop Idols Released From Prison - Now Trying To Make Comeback & Open New Club

7-year-old Mary Galvin has plans to kill her older brother. The way he roams around town with that empty gaze. The way their parents refuse to talk about his behavior. It was all going to end.

Mary had her older brother, Donald Galvin, tied to a tree as she gathers sticks to pile at his feet. He is a witch about to be burnt at the stake.

Donald is more than happy to play along. In the end, Mary backs out of her plan to kill him—she didn’t bring matches along and by the time she realizes what she’s really doing—she’s sprinting away like it never happened. Donald is fine either way. If she had gone through with it he would’ve happily died right then and there because to him, Mary is more than just his little sister.

She is the Virgin Mary. The Mother of Christ himself—and it makes sense—because they’re not even real siblings. Donald had been switched at birth and his real mother is actually an octopus.

This is the story of the ‘most mentally disturbed family in America’ (according to one psychiatrist). 12 full blood siblings living in one house. 6 out of the 12 siblings would be diagnosed with schizophrenia. This is the case of the Galvin family.

#376: Most “Mentally Insane” Family In America- Six Schizophrenic Brothers

“To Catch A Predator” steps:

 1. Hire an adult decoy to lurk on websites advertising themselves as 13 year olds looking for a middle aged companion.
 2. Invite the adult predator to a house that has been wired for audio and video recording.
 3. Have the host of the famous TV show pop out to ask the predator questions and arrest them on the way out.

That is the premise to the show “To Catch A Predator” that has now been cancelled for its moral dilemmas. 

But now influencers are recreating the show themselves on their platforms. Luring in predators, confronting them, and then calling the police. 

That’s what 17 year old Gavon tells the cops was his plan… He met up with a middle aged man on Grindr for the purpose of robbing him because he deserves it. Why else would he talk to a minor?

But for the police to believe his side of the story they have to go through his phone… and that’s where they find a folder titled - “Dark.” 

The password? “Murder.” 

Suddenly a simple robbery case turns into a murder investigation because in it… are videos and photos of 17 year old Gavon Ramsay killing and SAing a 98 year old woman in her own home. Gavon Ramsay is the predator.

#406: 16-Yr-Old Murders 98-Yr-Old Woman To SA Her Corpse For 2 Hours While Recording

The man in the olive green jacket is ready. Today is the day. He’s nervously walking through the crowd of New Yorkers to get to his destination. 

The last thing he needs is to get stopped by anyone - especially the NYPD. 

A man passes by him muttering - 

“Bro, idk if you should be doing this but your life choice I guess?”

Another citizen points and squeals - 

“He’s the one! He’s the one!”

With that.. the man in the jacket smiles. He is contestant number 6 in the lookalike contest for the shooter that killed Brian Thompson. The CEO of United Health Care. 

This man just won $50. 

How is it that a man is shot and killed in the middle of Manhattan in broad daylight, his body hasn’t even been laid to rest yet, and the shooter is still on the run… and yet. 

There is a lookalike contest for the killer?

Most Americans have been asking themselves this past week - who really is the true victim here?

Is it the one that was shot and killed?

Or is it the shooter himself?

Or is it all of us?

#407: United Healthcare CEO Shot In Public, But Nation Wants Killer Freed: EVERYTHING We Know So Far

Sang’s mom is haunted. Everyone has their own explanations for it but it’s that simple. 

Every time she sets the dinner table - she stares at the empty seat. Sometimes smiling, sometimes pouting, but always as if someone is sitting there. 

Sang would ask - 

“Mom, is everything alright?”

“Just make sure to save some of the meat for Niuniu - you know that’s her favorite.”

Sang’s mom would motion at the empty chair and smile. 

The haunting started when Niuniu, Sang’s little sister, went missing. Nobody knew what happened to her other than the fact that she received a creepy doll with moving eyes shortly before she went missing. 

26 years later Niuniu would come back to tell everyone the truth. She was kidnapped, trafficked, and sold. After 26 years she was coming back to kill her trafficker. Get her revenge.

#408: 5Yr Old Girl SOLD - 26 Years Later She Wants Revenge & On Mission To Kill Trafficker

I received an email from the ex-wife of a serial killer. The subject reads: “ I was married to a serial killer for 7.5 years and I need help!!”

 

Her ex husband was sentenced to death for the murder of 3 women. When authorities searched his house they found a soundproof torture chamber. Whips, iron chains, and many many files. Video files of him torturing his victims - plucking out their nails one by one. 

 

Now, his ex wife has come forward to ask for help. She was not only one of the first people he tried to kill but now her son (that she shares with him) has been taken. The serial killer’s mother has taken her son and now she’s on the hunt to get him back.

#409: I Received A Message From A Serial Killer’s Wife Asking For Help…

They’re all wearing the same blue tracksuit. Thousands of them standing out in the middle of the woods wearing the same thing. What is this place?

 

They’re out in the middle of the woods - in what appears to be a small secretive city? A military base? How did they get 60+ buildings out here in the middle of the forest?

 

And that giant wall… it’s 30 feet tall. Tall enough to keep people out. Or keep them in. 

 

The guards are watching each of the track suit wearing people with precision. One wrong move and you get beat. That’s when they hear it… 

 

The man starts running up onto the roof of one of the buildings - and there he goes. He flies off the top and lands in front of everyone. On his head. 

 

Someone standing right there says - “honestly, I didn’t know the sound of someone’s head exploding could make such a loud splitting sound. I saw his skull explode open.”

 

A guard member walks out and sweeps up his brains and bones as if nothing happened. Sounds familiar doesn’t it? It kind of sounds like the plot of one of the most famous series on Netflix, Squid Game.

 

But it’s not. 

 

This is the real life case of the Brother’s Home in South Korea. 

The true story behind Squid Game.

The Real Life "Squid Game" - Thousands Of Koreans Forced To Play Children's Games To NOT Be Killed

It’s the biggest church in South Korea but nobody knows it exists. The church itself can fit at least 4,000 church goers all at once. But that’s not the intriguing part of the church… they just do things differently.

 

There are a row of people standing in front of the pastor. They are asking him for forgiveness but they’re all wearing the same thing. A red sack with big ugly painted letters on there that read “I am a sinner who has gone against God’s word.”

 

Pastor Lim prays over them - one by one. Before he turns around and pulls out a set of red boxing gloves. He slowly, calmly puts them on and starts beating the people down. He doesn’t stop till the entire row of red sack wearing people are bloody on the floor.

 

Then he calmly fixes his clothes and heads back to the podium to continue preaching to the church goers.

 

This is not a cult story.

 

This is Brother’s Home.

A government funded camp to cleanse the humans of South Korea ahead of the Olympics.

 

The true story behind the Squid Game show.

South Korea "Erased" 4,000 People To Host The Olympic Games: True Story Behind “Squid Game”

December 12th is the night that everyone has been waiting for.

 

The invitation is cryptic - it takes some guests weeks to figure out what it reads.

 

“Sdaeh tsilaer & sesserd gnol eit kcalb?”

 

The secret is this - you have to reflect it into the mirror to figure out what it says.

 

“Black tie, long dresses & surrealist heads.”

 

Welcome to the Rothschild's (one of the wealthiest and most powerful families) newest secret party. Everyone walks in donning a giant bejeweled mask of animals that you would normally hunt. Stags. Deer. Birds in cages.

 

The staff in the massive mansion are dressed as cats, perched on the stairs, meowing at the passing guests. There’s no way they’re not hunting people afterwards right?

 

That’s always been the conspiracy. Rich people hunting the poor for sport. But what if it is true? What if it happened in South Korea and became the inspiration of the Netflix show - Squid Game?

Man Survives Real Life “Squid Game” That Killed 551 People - Funded By Rich Australian Family

He doesn’t know it yet but his wife is about to divorce him. They have been married for the past 50 years and everyone that knows them - believes them to be the perfect couple. 

How is he going to explain that it was all an accident? He didn’t mean to film up the girl’s skirts at the supermarket? 

He tries to convince her it might be dementia. Perhaps his brain is finally giving out at his old age. His caring wife goes with him to the police station to get it sorted out. 

But there’s always more to the story - isn’t there?

The police want to talk to her. Alone. 

What’s the matter here?

After arresting her husband for filming up skirt videos in the market - they went through his devices and found a folder titled “ABUSES.” 

There were over 20k digital files. 

From 2011 to 2020 - for almost 10 years - he had been drugging his wife. Inviting over at least 72 strange men into the house at night to SA his wife in her sleep.
