    I have relatives who were part of this group. They ended up becoming the most stereotypical conservative Americans ever, and one is a cop.

      Operation Peter Pan (or Operación Pedro Pan) was a clandestine exodus of over 14,000 unaccompanied Cuban minors ages 6 to 18 to the United States over a two-year span from 1960 to 1962. They were sent after parents feared that Fidel Castro and the Communist party were planning to terminate parental rights and place minors in communist indoctrination centers, commonly referred to as the Patria Potestad.

    I like how evacuating civilians into a country they probably have relatives in (Russia) is being called various flavors of evil

      There was a chapo episode about the CIA and something involving the word Franklin that was basically mega- :epstein: before its time. I couldn’t finish it, my sanity bar went to zero only halfway through

        Here’s a documentary from 1993 about the Franklin Scandal that was supposed to be on TV but never aired

        https://www.monsterchildren.com/watch-conspiracy-of-silence/

        CW: CSA and a bunch of other terrible shit including murder to silence victims

        The fact that the Catholic church and the US government collaborated to create a giant orphanage the size of a town literally called Boy’s Town should raise everyone’s eyebrows even if the scandal had never broke
