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 ...

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.

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

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 deep dive, History Declassified uncovers the true story behi...

The Iranian Revolution - From Shah to Sharia

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

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

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

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...

The British Abolition of Slavery – Power, Profit, and the Moral Rebellion of an Empire

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

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...

The Rainbow Warrior Bombing – When Allies Turned Enemies

In 1985, French intelligence agents bombed Greenpeace’s flagship vessel, the Rainbow Warrior, while it was docked in New Zealand — killing a crew member and sparking an international scandal.

This episode unpacks the planning, the cover-up, and the global fallout that followed — revealing how far governments will go to ...

The Franklin Scandal – Power, Abuse, and the Price of Silence

A child trafficking network. Political coverups. Missing witnesses. In the late 1980s, allegations emerged linking powerful U.S. figures to a scandal so explosive it threatened to expose the dark underbelly of America’s elite. But instead of justice, there were gag orders, sealed documents, and unexplained deaths. This episode investigates the Franklin Scandal — a case involving foster children, high-ranking politicians, and financial fraud — and asks why so many leads went cold, and why the ...

Operation Gladio – The Cold War’s Secret Armies and the Strategy of Fear

During the Cold War, NATO backed secret "stay-behind" armies across Europe, preparing to resist a Soviet invasion. But in countries like Italy, these clandestine networks became something else entirely — implicated in terrorism, political manipulation, and a covert war on democracy itself. This episode investigates Operation Gladio, a decades-long covert strategy involving intelligence agencies, right-wing extremists, and false flag attacks. What began as a defensive operation may have evolve...
