Is this a free trial of delicious oatmeal brain food ?
Glad you boys moved away from the Ukraine propaganda. That tool is a very ugly one, nobody wants to be that ugly. The truth and nothing but the truth, matters.
This should have been advertised for your cereal simon!
Anyone else mad this wasn't sponsored by magic spoon?
The magic spoon is magic because its made from Cobalt 60

You made me laugh so hard ! Well done!

When things like this happened in the past, it's gets easier to believe the Boeing whistle blowers were "offed".
Oh one of them CERTAINLY was
It’s possible but there isn’t any proof
I never claimed there was proof, but it is getting easier to believe it could happen.
@@komikbookgeek which one, I don't know the details of the individual incidents.
@@flashgordon3715 the one staged to look like a suicide.
"Big company takes advantage of poor people" is a theme seen too many times in history, and is still happening every minute of every day.
Kellogs wasn't the culprit, it was the government lacing Corn Flakes. The entire video is bullshit as to the way they misfocus the correct hate boner direction to Kellogs, it's never them, nor Quaker Oats, it was always a bad actor hired by the government. That's the actual truth of this story.

My good friend and siblings ended up in an orphanage in 1960 because their mother was very ill and their father had disappeared. It was a well-funded Catholic orphanage in a beautiful old mansion gifted to the Church, and it was very well-run. The nuns truly cared for their charges, and any nun who didn't was quickly reassigned somewhere else. They were taught by Jesuit priests and got a much better education than the kids in nearby public schools. They had a choir, and sports teams, and Scout troops. It was a very loving, though disciplined, environment. My friend stayed in contact with some of the nuns for decades. Not a typical orphanage environment, but the way they can be and should be. I feel bad for the innocent children in other institutions who had terrible experiences, because it shouldn't be like that. In general, our society's treatment of children who don't have wealthy parents is immoral.
All catholic orphanages have come out as horror hotels,where the nuns openly beat,and murdered the children.Good try! But no one is gonna believe that lie.
That is what has always drove me nuts about the abortion issue. They will campaign on the rite to life but after the kid is born they give zero fcks until they can join the military or pay taxes. And No, I don't have an opinion on abortion because I don't have a vagina but I was an abandoned kid that went through foster and it was fckd. abusive people and pedo's are far more common than people that really want to do good for a kid.
Thanks for writing this, I feel better now.
It’s a relief to know that there are a few positive examples, albeit rare and untypical. My husband went through 11 different foster homes when he was a kid; his experiences were harrowing and his foster parents were often abuses themselves. He did have *one* great family, though, and even though he was only able to be with them for a few years, they helped give him a sense of self worth that stuck with him. I wish every kid was born to decent parents and every orphaned kid was matched with decent families, but that’s not how this world is, I’m afraid. My heart goes out to every child lost to abuse and exploitation, and my gratitude and praise go out to those who care for lost children with integrity and love.
@@Ms_Nightshade Oh, your poor husband!! May God Bless him!! ☧
This sounds like something that would have happened in the Fallout universe before the bombs fell.
Where do you think they got the idea for the story line in the games? Real things that happened, and still are happening.
Sugar Bombs™
The prewar world of fallout is explicitly based on this time period, so that's not an accident
oh boy, if you only knew how much shady shit is still going on to this day.
yes, they need informed consent, you seen britney spears lately? you think this is normal, and the amount of other celebrities malfunctioning? XD
they'd sell their soul for fame, what is a bit of mental anguish to someone willing to loose what makes them, them, for a bit of money.
the world didn't change much, cause the ppl in power, are 50% still the same ppl.
we had some of them recently seen finally dying off.
but we never seen who their replacments are.
and they always have replacement, atleast since 400 years, cause that's how far we can trae back most of the currently most powerful famillies.
and they funded all thsi wacky sh*t since atleast 1913 in the US.
europe has it's own horror stories in that regard.
There's Vault 12: The door was intentionally designed to not seal correctly to study the effects of radiation on the population inside.
Those inhabitants became ghouls and founded the city of Necropolis.

In 1961 Ballantine Books published a book by Ronald M. Deutch called "The Nuts Among the Berries" about the unproven and scientifically questionable practices of the health food industry. In the book (which was darkly hilarious) Deutch wrote a chapter about Kellogg and Post. Kellogg died not long after purchasing a German yogurt enema machine and Post was SO PROUD of his stools that he mailed one (unsolicited) to the U.S. Department of Agriculture to show them what a "perfect" turd looked like. My mother bought the book and was so horrified by what she read, our cereal-eating days were severely curtailed. There is no part of American Medicine more prone to fads, disinformation, lies and quackery than nutrition.
"German yogurt enema machine" is a phrase I can't even begin to comprehend
@@CyFed_Republic_of_Kaltovar
As a child of MidEastern & Balkan descent yogurt eating was normal before the general public knew what the heck it was. The idea of a yogurt enema is terrifying.
@@CyFed_Republic_of_Kaltovar- Sounds like the name of a very obscure band.
I can confidently state that neither Graham crackers nor sugary breakfast cereals have any negative effects on masturbation. Well, so I've heard.
I am tempted to type that I need Graham crackers to be interested, but even I cannot go there. The Darpanet corrupts, absolutely! Cheers!
i meannnnnnnn the original graham cracker designed for that purpose was almost an effective enough moodkiller Y': it was closer to hard tack and had no delicious hint of honey. the graham cracker we know today is actually the creation of the nation's oldest bakers' union (nat'l biscuit company = nabisco baby!!!) intended to spite the original cracker's inventor >:'3c
I can definitely confirm ^^
With a medical history like this, I just find it crazy how people blindly trust our pharmaceutical companies.
It’s either pharmaceutical companies, grifters with repackaged olive oil, rocks, or whispering into the air. Sometimes you only go with the devil because the only other options are all worse.
Radiation in your oatmeal and Asbestos in your Ovaltine. Now, that's the America I remember and loved.
I bet that those who conducted these experiments would just say "The end justify the means" as long as it was not them at the end of the stick
Someone really needed to tell them that we don't need to know everything if this is how we find out ...
👺"Corporations are people too, my friends"☠️, and they don't give a flying about you.
They see you - us - as *FOOD.*
Including the medical & military industry
Psychopaths are people. Corporations are psychopaths. Therefore ...
This may be the inspiration for the Suffolk county charter school in Fallout 4 swap out oatmeal for pink food paste.
My brother-in-law ingested some low-level radioactive material that is naturally absorbed by cancer cells; it allowed his doctors to image and target his small spots of cancer very precisely. For the right use, radioactive material can save someone's life. (But - of course - this video was about a situation without informed consent, and probably much more radioactive than what he had.) The worst part of these children's experience was simply being in that awful orphanage.
Has he ever said what it tasted like?? Out of curiosity...
Also, it was without balancing out the consequences vs., the benefits of the use of radiation. These children didn't have cancer so the radiation provided no benefit and all the risk.
I imagine being poisoned to death felt worse than just being there...🤦♂
@@pseudonayme7717 The video mentioned one of the students returning to the school to be paid back for the violation of the experiments. 74 students were subjected to it and no one upon further research died from this but 30 students filed a joint lawsuit against MIT and Quaker Oats. The radioactive material was a slow release tracer to track the absorption rate of minerals by the body, not a heated contaminate. They based the dosage off the environmental exposure rate of parts per million of radon that granite releases which people live with their entire lives. They got double what humans have evolved to deal with. Not deadly, but not still not moral.
@@pseudonayme7717 The experiment was run 74 students and none are reported anywhere to have died from it. In 1994, the papers detailing the experiment were released and 30 people filed a lawsuit against Quaker and MIT. They held responsible for the lack of consent but not truly endangering the children. The radioactive material wasn't hot, but slowly absorbed tracer attached to minerals. The dosage was determined by the release of radon from granite being the amount of radiation that human body handles naturally and daily. The students received double the average exposure. Not deadly, but not ethical.
I knew that breakfast cereals were messed up. I had no idea how messed up they were.
When a kid prefers eating left over spaghetti, lasagna, pizza, soup, or eating fresh eggs with homemade bread....
This reminds me of the Radium Girls.
I read the book "The Radium Girls" by Kate Moore and, as awful as that was, what was done to these children is worse. What happened to the radium girls was not intentional experimentation without consent. That was "merely" corporate greed downplaying the obvious human consequences to maximize profits. This was intentional experimentation on a class of people unable to provide informed consent even if they had been given the choice. Stories like this make me appreciate, as an atheist, why Xtians feel the need to invent the concept of Hell.
What the Radium Girls experienced was vastly worse than this.
Let's put it this way. He quotes approximately 170-330 millirem as the exposure level of these kids over the course of the experiment. That's about one CT scan.
It's likely the radium girls, over the course of their work, were exposed to hundreds of millions of millirems of radiation. They experienced radiation poisoning. This is why you saw such dramatic and rapid health deterioration, tissue decaying and bone disintegrating. Why their jaws were literally falling off their heads in some cases.
The radium girls radiation exposure is equivalent to tens of millions of consecutive chest X-rays. These kids had the equivalent of 30, which is, give or take, a CT scan (a CT scan is between 15 and 120 x-rays of radiation)
It’s horrifying how similar the eugenics centers are to the Residential Therapy Programs they have for “troubled teens” now. We cleaned and maintained our facilities, did intensive labor sometimes in 100 degree heat in the Utah desert. They fed us shit food that by the end of my 2 years there made me violently sick because I already struggle with digestive issues and when I tried to get medical attention they reduced the amount of food they gave me and I got less than half the food my peer did. I only got out bc I turned 18 and they couldn’t legally keep me there anymore.
May I ask, how do your parents feel about the newly released information about these places? Among other horrendous events that happened in my childhood, I had a teacher that groomed me as a child, so he could have sexual relationship with me. But, when I tried to tell my mother, she believed I was lying, because “the teacher certainly wouldn’t lie”.
Now that I’m an adult, I find myself resenting that I wasn’t believed.
"You wanted to be sure that they got 100 percent of the radioactivity." As the nuns used to say, "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph." When I audited clinical trials for their treatment of human subjects, some of the researchers would get a little ticked off that the audits were part of the process of being permitted to run a trial. I'd always keep these researchers in the back of my mind, ''cause you know if they they could have done what they wanted with patients, they would have.
This is almost one of the more mild things that went on at that place. The town is now in a fight with its mayor, who wants to turn the land into an amusement park, which many of the residence find a bit distasteful.
i remember the uproar about using it as a drive-through christmas light display
As an orphan, I would have eaten straight uranium for baseball tickets, even to see the Red Sox. Anything to get out of that hellhole, if only for a few hours...
That sucks, I'm sorry. Orphanages don't have to be horrible. They should be well-funded and staffed by people who love children, and give a good education and fun things to do. My good friend was lucky enough to be in a well-run and well-funded Catholic orphanage where the nuns who didn't love children were quickly sent elsewhere. They had discipline, but also fun activities, field trips to amusement parks and museums and concerts. They should all be like that, not warehouses for minors until they age out. The way our society treats kids who don't have wealthy parents is immoral and counter-productive to a healthy country.
You deserved better.
That’s farked up though. You should have had better opportunities. The past is the worst.
@@retriever19golden55 o boy but is the priest a good babysitter? Puh. Feel bad for the og poster though
Ironically enough the only red Sox game I've ever been to was when I was living in a children's home in Boston. I slept through most of it. 😂

always knew there was something sinister behind that smiling Quaker man!
Damn, that sounds like something Vault-Tec would do
The location where this school was is right up the road from me. I knew of its existence, but not of the horrors that went on there. It's a nice area to walk these days, and I've come across a few places where they must've dumped the school's trash. Old glass medicine, syringe, and IV bottles everywhere, and I even took some for putting plant cuttings in. Not gonna look at them the same again!
There's also an old state mental hospital in a neighboring field. One of the main buildings is still there, as well as a cemetery in the woods where they buried the patients when they died. I imagine many went right from this school to the asylum for the rest of their life. Sad stuff!
It's why the Ready Break kids on the adverts glowed.
Glad I'm not the only one thinking this.
I feel old
When I was a kid my stepdad got a Quaker bar with a human tooth in it. My parents spoke to the company and they send me like 20 bucks in "Quaker bucks".
I’m pretty sure that this is how those turtles became ninjas that one time….
Orphan turtles get radioactive ooze.
One terrible thing leads to another and turtles are getting raised by Rats (better than an orphanage or worse...humans) and thousands of people are regularly eating pizza for breakfast.
I bet those bastards never took those kids to a baseball game.
I was born in the 80's, and my mom is a self-described "earth mother." The moment you started describing Grape-Nuts, even the previous eversions, I knew where it was going.

I was a guinea pig of the Salk polio vaccines in the early 1950s. Not only wasn't my mother asked for permission, she wasn't even informed I was receiving the shot at school.
They did this in 1969 in Spokane Washington at the public school I went to. I don’t think my mother was informed about it. The grade school had the kids go to the cafeteria first thing before class where every child was given a shot. I was 6 years old at the time. We were involuntarily given the polo vaccine. I still have a scar on my left arm today, as so many other people do too.
@@psychedelicpythonAre you sure that wasn’t the small pox vaccine? All my classmates had the scar on their arms.

My grandparents used to tell me: "If you are hungry, you will eat."
There's a saying in my country that translates to: hunger makes raw beans sweet. Sad but very true.
@@JootjeJNuts were once considered sweet. Beans might be around the same sweetness? That could change the interpretation slightly, haha.
@@BlissBatch That would make sense, but no. Raw beans are very bitter. At least our brown beans are. You need to soak them overnight before cooking to get rid of the bitterness. (Nowadays if you buy them in the supermarket even if you get them dried they are still pre-soaked and no longer considered raw.)
@@JootjeJ yep that's because the majority of beans are very toxic raw

Thank you for doing this video, Simon. Though the Nuremberg code reading made me very sad,. To think, they had this drafted decades before doctors subjected me to my ordeal. Telling the story of the children who suffered helps remind those in power never to do this again. People should hear it, because they matter, and their suffering matters and should not have been in vain.
As an 8 year old child, I was subjected to a traumatic, experimental version of an existing major orthopedic surgery-revamped to go in one huge round instead of 3 separate surgeries- as is the normal practice even today-because they "wanted children who needed it to miss less school". I was an excellent student all my life, and this was certainly no justification for the agony I experienced.
This was allowed to happen in 1990 in Connecticut, in the United States, because, well, my mother said "Yes". She thought she was doing the best for me. The flashy doctor who came from the west coast promised my mother this was the best thing for me. And the children's hospital got it paid for by charity and by the Shriner's, since we were low income and a single parent household. Mom never realized she would spend weeks listening to her daughter scream in pain while the hospital staff repeated there was nothing they could do, because a child my size could not safely be given any more pain medication than I was already on. Morphine, demerol - nothing helped.
Being disabled since birth, I'm used to a fair amount of pain and always have been (severe muscle spasms and falls, etc.) But this was horrendous. The surgical recovery was traumatic and painful in ways I can't describe. My surgery was considered an utter failure. The full extent of trauma on the lower extremities, the extended timeframe for healing, and the outright unmanageable levels of pain on a small child were NEVER truly considered by the board that gave it their approval. The surgery, far from helping, left me worse off and less mobile than before and I remain terrified of doctors, even today, as a 42 year old.
It's NOT okay to experiment on children, even if/when their parents consent. The California superstar orthopedic surgeon who performed that massacre on me wouldn't even take the hospital's follow-up calls and NEVER came in to check on me after the 12 hour long surgery. Not all "medicine" helps.

Can confirm the last bit. Recently changed from being a couch potato with a desk job to quite hard physical labour. My breakfast now definitely needs to contain much more carbs to make it through the day. I now have sweetened porridge and a banana for breakfast and actual bread for lunch and still lose weight. Hopefully none of it is radioactive though
Same; I love starting out with fruity oatmeal made with milk and a banana. I work in animal welfare and agriculture, so I have physical work very early in the morning in any sort of conditions, so the warm carbs made with a little bit of animal protein (I'm vegetarian, and a little milk and cheese is all I'll eat to get my animal protein and calcium) hits just right on cold mornings.

Hmm, I wondered why my body seems to be so opposed to cereal.
I would only eat cereal with 6 or 8 tablespoons of sugar added. My mother knew what I was doing and never said a word. Later in life I asked her why and she said if eating it that way got me to eat breakfast than why bitch about it.
She probably wasn't aware of how bad it was for you tho. We have the luxury of access to information now.
Hah joke's on them. I don't even eat cereal in the morning. I eat four Pop Tarts, drizzled in honey & strawberry sauce, which I wash down with a tall glass of chocolate Nesquik and a snorted line of sherbet!

Here's a good place for me to share my recent Instant Oatmeal hack I came up with this week! This is for the kind that's in individual serving packets that you add 2/3rd cup hot water to (or cold water and microwave for 60sec); specifically, the "Maple & Brown Sugar" flavor.
It's simple:
- Add 2/3rd cup (158mL) of Cran-Raspberry juice
- Microwave for 60sec. *TADA!*
_[optional: add about 2 or 3 Tablespoons (29 - 44mL) French Vanilla coffee creamer and mix thoroughly]_
It's basically like adding dried cranberries (aka Craisins) to it.
And if adding creamer, not much different from having made it with milk, instead of water _(which _*_is_*_ an optional Instant Oatmeal preparation method listed on the packet)_
*BONUS:* I decided to try this, because I had concocted a drink which was 4 parts Cran-Rasp juice, to 1 part creamer, which tastes really good. (think Raspberry ice cream)
*BONUS #2:* Another treat is to dunk Oreos into, you guessed it, Cran-Rasp juice! 😊 (think Gherardelli Raspberry-filled chocolate squares)
*BONUS #3:* Use French Vanilla with Root Beer 😁 (think hassle-free Root Beer Float)
Ok, now I'm done... _ENJOY!_ 🙂👍
Sir! We are here for man-made horrors beyond our comprehension.
Definitely trying that oatmeal recipe though.
@@robertalexander-bk5zj Honestly... I typed that before the true horrors were talked about and when they were... 😒 Yea... I regretted it ☹️
But I also hate throwing away work, so I decided to leave it up.
Also, I *_am_* rather proud of those concoctions, which is another reason heh 🥴
So I do hope you like it!
@@DUKE_of_RAMBLEpurely for the funny wording. Never a bad place or time to share knowledge.
@@robertalexander-bk5zj Ok, I actually measured and have a small (big 😅) correction to the amount of creamer: NOT 1/4 Cup... More like 2 or 3 tablespoons! 🥴

Thanks for recommending this YT. I love informative pieces like this
You definitely covered this at some point but it's whistle boy so I'm watching anyway
I just told my brother about this, and he was like, "Well. . . I guess it's no different than testing on other animals, really. I mean, people have blinded chimps with makeup and shampoo. Also, it's not like they had homes or anybody to love them." I was shocked until I found out he thought I said a home for disabled horses, not orphans. Once that was corrected, he went all befuddled looking and said, ". . . ew, gross. . ".

As someone that has eaten radioactive oatmeal, I gotta say that it's not that bad. Some radiology labs use it as a GI tracer in radio imagery tests
Please, those doctors can see right through you...😮
The dose they give you nowadays is probably *far* less than what they gave those kids. Also, you consented to ingesting radiation, big difference. Lol
@@AeikonThe dose given to the kids was the equivalent of one CT scan.
I think the Main difference between the USA and other countries is that in the USA these things come out and are published.
3 minutes. That was all I could take. Glad this is being given attention. But cannot deal.
For the algorithm.
Those breakfast people worried way too much about kids and their private parts.
Thanks for the deep dive. I half expected to find a wiki article about Robert Harris or Felix Broner but there's next to nothing about either of them specifically on a Google search. An article from the Smithsonian page came up about the experiment but a brief mention of Harris's name was the extent of that. I guess I'm not surprised. But someone else mentioned the Fallout series, and I wanted to see if there was perhaps a chance that the character Dr. Braun from Fallout could've been inspired by the name Broner and the radioactive association..

I anxiously await the 1990's - 2025's experiments. I'll tune back in, in about 50 years .
The problem with the Nuremberg Code (apart from not actually being legally binding in any way) is that its recommendations only applied to human persons, but orphans, minorities, prison inmates, and the indigent are frequently not treated like human persons.
Vanderbilt University also conducted studies using pregnant women and children from orphanages as unwitting guinea pigs. This resulted in terrible injuries and deaths from cancer. There was a settlement reached only after Vanderbilt fought tooth and nail in the courts.
I only read the title yet, but I already know they are going to have an opinion about the past. 😅
It's the worst, don't you know?
we had a cereal called ready brek in the UK and it's big thing was being an instant porridge outmeal breakfast you went to school with a healthy red glow around you shown in all the adverts - hmmm....😂
MK Ultra didn't exactly fail. They just learned that the best method of mind control wasn't through drugs but by simply repeating the lie you want believed. Still in use today.
It made me laugh when he said MK Ultra failed.
they still do this kinda crap to kids without parents, foster kids in the USA in the 90s were used to test adhd meds just for an example.
Dumping is still the term for abandoning a person in a medical facility. Due to the closure of many mental hospitals and lack of resources, many people are now actually dumped in emergency rooms. The hospitals are unable to discharge the patient without a safe discharge plan and sometimes patients are unnecessarily stuck there in the hospital for weeks or months until they find a nursing home or alternative housing situation. Of course the nursing homes are also ill-prepared for those with severe mental illness
As a kid we always covered up the G and R on Grape Nuts and roared with laughter... it was the height of comedy.
Today I found out that Simon does not host Biographic anymore
And I don't watch it anymore. I tried it a few times, but honestly Simon is the draw for me, but I do understand he can't do *everything.*
Yeah and the guy doing it now isn't even remotely as interesting to watch as Simon lol
Are they still putting toys and stuff into cereals somewhere? All the same Kelloggs stuff that I knew from my childhood still exist, but now without any gifts in their boxes.
Atrocities committed against disabled people, especially against those with mental disability often go unremembered. Even when they are remembered, they are often remembered as how they affected able people. They talk about how awful it was that some people we wouldn't consider disabled today were affected. Less than 100 years ago my lot would have been sterilization, torture, disenfranchisement, suspension of my bodily autonomy, suspension of my rights as a human being, homelessness, prison, institutionalization, medical experimentation, sexual violence, and general abuse. A lot of that still happens to us today, just because we have different sets of abilities than the majority.
I love Frosted Flakes, honestly.
1:22 "Hey- leave us out of this!" Wheaties, the REAL Breakfast o0f Champions.
We need an episode on MK Ultra?
I think one of his channels has one.
Side projects.
That's some wicked Fallout company shit
I for real thought that was a bowl of KFC’s coleslaw.
OMG I LIVE IN MASSACHUSETTS!!! I am also from Buzau Orphanage in Romania. Fuck that.
I went to the Fernald Center where this happened and its seriously haunted. So sad.
"individuals of the youthful persuasion"
This feels more like Into the Shadows content, jfc 😅
Actually, the raven is feeding Elijah…
I recently visited what remains of the Fernald school. It was shut down about 03 but I heard they still hosted residents for longer. I got inspired by a spot in Fallout 4(it's similar but ultimately unrelated: Suffolk Charter School with the Pink Paste) Teenagers were teenagin' while I was there
