  Speaker 1: On this channel, we've talked a lot about predators who
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: choose to victimize children. We've covered stories of working in
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the government, in churches, and in preschools. We've seen how
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: even the places that should be the safest sometimes house
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the most vile creatures of our population. These cases are
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: amongst the darkest that I cover, not just because they
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: include horrific stories of childhood, but because they shatter whatever
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: illusions we may have or hold about our leaders. These
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: stories remind us that not only are there people who
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: are eager to harm children out there, but that they
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: always find ways to hide in plain sight, leading us
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: to question all the time who we can trust and
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: where exactly is safe. Today, I'm going to cover a
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: story about yet another institution that, despite its reputation as
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: a force for good, has harbored in the past devious
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: and serious offenders. And unlike other cases, the crimes that
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: we're going to cover today are irrefutably proven. There's no
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: doubt about what I'm going to share with you today
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: and its validity. There's no trail of clues or in
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: big answers, just the reality of what sometimes happens, even
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: at the highest level. So while we can take solace
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: in knowing that those responsible have been charged and arrested,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: we must also wrestle with the fact that this all
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: happened in the first place, and that it could be
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: happening again somewhere else right now. Join me this week
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: on The Conspiracy Files as I uncover the dark crimes
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: that have forever changed the history of an internationally known
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: organization and provides you with the disturbing, dark details of
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the UNISEF case. I'm Colin Brown. All parties are presumed
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. If
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: you want to see the references that we use to
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: make this script and research this story, I always post
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: them in the description of the show. I don't want
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: to go anywhere. I'm not planning on doing anything to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: myself and Welcome to the Conspiracy Files. So I've talked
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: endlessly about these things, and you know, it's still a
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: thing where people make whole posts about me saying that
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I'm weird from wanting to share these stories and get
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: people talking about this stuff. But when you've worked as
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I have over the last year, you guys haven't seen
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: any of this stuff yet. It's for my documentary and
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: documentary series. When you've worked with real victims, dozens of them,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: of these people and these crimes, and you've cried with them,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and you've hugged them afterwards and talked to them and
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: had these heart to heart conversations and seen how so
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: many of them are so desperate for others to start
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: talking about this stuff and bring it up. It changes you,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: and it definitely has changed me over the last year.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I started off on this journey years ago on a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: different social media platform, diving into these stories, talking about
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: these stories, and just by covering one story, it showed
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: me that the story that I first started off with
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: was that of Frank Sheldon and North Fox Island, and
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: diving into that story and reading books about it and
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: actually researching it, not just in a superficial way, going
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: through police reports and FBI FOYA dumps and learning the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: line items of the case, and that expanded my mind
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: so greatly. It's just absolutely insane, and once you see
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: one of these cases, your mind opens up and you
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: begin to realize that it's not a one person problem.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: These are institutional issues, and so many of them have
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: gone unreported, untalked about, undiscussed. Even this case. There'sn't a
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: YouTube video about this. Nobody's talking about this stuff. These
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: are cases that they see one newspaper report and they're
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: forgotten about. And these institutional crimes remain, for the most
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: part unrectified. There's no real justice in these stories, and
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: they could be happening to this very day. So I'm
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: hoping to raise awareness, teach people about this history that
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: nobody wants to talk about, and change something one day
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: through these videos. So just a little bit of my perspective.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: But I just started a Patreon, So if you don't
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: like the censorship on this show, I know a lot
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: of people have commented about that over the years, consider
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: joining me on Patreon. In doing so, you can help
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: support the production of this show, the payments of our
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: writers and our researching team and the editors who help
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: bring this show to life. And you can get early
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: add free access to all of the episodes here that
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: are fully uncensored. So if you want to see the
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: fully uncensored version of these videos, Patreons the way to
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: go and please. One free thing that you can do
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: to help the channel is like today's video, comment on
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the video, share the video, and subscribe to the channel.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: It's super simple, and I'm depending on you guys to
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: help make this channel what it is because obviously platforms
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: don't want to promote and push this sort of content,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: so you guys are the ones making this happen. But anyways,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: let's get into the UNISEF case. We've all heard of
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the United Nations Children's Fund, or more likely, we know
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: it by its acronym UNISEF. Since the fund was begun
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: by the United Nations in nineteen fifty three, the charity
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: has grown into one of the largest and most recognizable
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: on the planet. The name conjures images of hard working
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: volunteers and the underprivileged children that they serve. UNISEF is
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: a massive organization, operating in one hundred and ninety two
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: countries and territories across the globe through more than one
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty offices and national headquarters. Relying mostly on donations,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the charity has an annual income of over eight billion dollars,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: most of which comes from private donors. Children are at
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: the center of unsef's work, but the charity also steps
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: in to provide emergency relief following disasters as well. Amongst
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: its varied works, UNICEF promotes education, improved sanitation, and administers vaccines.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: But despite the amazing work that UNSEF has done over
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the past seventy years, UNSEF has not been immune to controversy.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: And despite its motto for every child, not every child
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: that's been impacted by UNISEF has been impacted in a
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: positive way, because for several years in the nineteen eighties,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: UNSEF was the hunting ground for a group of predators.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: But we're not quite to that part of the story yet. Instead,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: we're going to turn our attention to a different group,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: one that would go on to lay the foundation for
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the UNISEF scandal. In Belgium in nineteen eighty two, a
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: group of French speaking activists were busy working for their cause,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: legalizing Led by a man named Philippe Carpentier. The group
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: was called the Center for Research and Information on Childhood
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and or CRIES. CRIES Early Enough for Short. CRIES took
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the same position that many pro groups have had over
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the years. It argued that quote a loving relationship made
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: of tenderness and fulfilled sensuality can be for young people,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: whatever their age or sex, in eminently positive experience. End quote.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: In other words, CRIES claimed that there was nothing wrong
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: with havings with children, and they argued that people should
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: be allowed to do so freely. The organization made a
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: distinction between what they called relationships with children and other
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: cases though that included been coercion. Even though it's all
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the same thing. Of course, we all know that there's
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: no such thing as a or relationship with children, but
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: of course CRIES felt differently. The group argued that kids
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: had a right to express their own and that adults
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: had a right to engage with children too. CRIES campaigned
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: for legislative changes that would make it legal for adults
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: to pursue relationships with children. The group held meetings, conducted research,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and even published their own magazine. For this was a
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: space where they could freely discuss their proclivities in an
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: attempt to justify their behavior. Rather than seeking professional help,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: these people found a place that actually encouraged their darkest
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: lots and desires. For perhaps the first time in their lives,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: these were being told that there was nothing wrong with
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: them and that what they like and what they're doing
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: should be legal. Unsurprisingly, the group's members were also involved
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: in the Active Children, which they deemed to be okay
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: behavior the entire time, and that's where the UNISEF connection
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: comes in. In nineteen eighty six, four years after the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: start of CRIES, it was discovered that Michelle Felleux, an
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: employee for the Belgian UNISEF National Office, had used UNISEF
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: offices to take images of children. Fulu, who had held
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: evening computer classes for children, had used the basement of
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the Belgian UNICF headcore as a studio to film and
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: photograph child sometimes using his own students from his classes
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: as models. The apt was happening literally under the nose
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: of UNSEF in the basement of their building. It was
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: quickly discovered that not only was Michelle Felleux involved, but
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: that the director of the entire Belgian UNISEF office, Joseph Verbek,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: was also involved in the creation and dissemination of these images.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Police found that some of the images created by the
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: two had been published in the CRIESE magazine, which quickly
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: led them to the homes of Philippe Carpentier and other
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: CRIESE members, and from there it became clear that quote
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: CRIES was in fact hiding an international network of that
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: involved at least eighteen countries end quote, more than four
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: thousand CSAM photos and videos were seized, materials that featured
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: at least one hundred different children being Much of the
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: content had been created by Feliu and Verbique in the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Belgian UNSEF offices and after their care creation, the photos
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: and videotapes were sent to a mailing list of over
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: four hundred different people in fifteen different countries, and disturbingly,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the mailing list of was found on an official UNSEF
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: computer in the headquarters. It was also discovered through police
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: work that several parents were and their children out to
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: members of CRIES in order to be sometimes on camera. Fulu, Verbek,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Carpentier and several other CRIES members were eventually arrested in
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty seven, and most of them received extremely lengthy
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: sentences of ten years for the creation and distribution of
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: child Keep that in mind, one hundred plus kids, four
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: thousand images and videos created shipped off to over four
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: hundred people internationally, ten years in prison, and a person
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: who's working at an office of an organization for an
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: organization dedicated to the betterment and health and well being
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: of the exact human beings that they're victi and targeting.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: It was, in fact like a piggy bank for these
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: people to just draw from a blood bank, and they
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: were a vampire going to suck anything that they could
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: out of the place. I mean, it's truly horrific stuff. Now, thankfully,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the arrests brought CRIES in their organization to a grinding halt,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and that organization, to our knowledge, dissolved soon afterwards. But
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the strangest thing about this case is that it marries
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: two co conspirators that couldn't seem to have been more different.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: One organization that made its mission to serve and protect
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: children and another organization that justified and advocated for the
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: legalization of their victimization. It's horrible, but not shocking to
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: learn that CRIES members were actively kids, but it's even
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: more shocking to hear that prominent members of UNISEF on
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: an international scale, the head of the Belgian UNISEF division,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: they were involved in the crimes too. And to make
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: matters worse, the nineteen eighty seven UNISEF scandal wouldn't be
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the only to rock the supposedly positive organization. Once upon
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: a time, a man named Peter Newell was a well
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: known advocate for children's rights, so much so that he
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: did consulting work for UNISEF. Newell even co wrote the
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Implementation Handbook for the Convention on the Rights of the
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Child for UNISEF, which was published in two thousand and seven.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Peter Newell was known by many of those who worked
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: in children's advocacy, and he led efforts publicly around the
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: world to protect children. At least that's what he wanted
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: people to think he was doing on the outside. However,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: in March of twenty sixteen, the Metropolitan Police in England
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: received reports concerning Newell's past behavior. After an investigation, it
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: was found that Newell had at least one child under
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: the age of sixteen for several years in the nineteen sixties.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: The victim, who was just twelve when the began, finally
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: reported the crimes decades later in the twenty tens. Newell,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: who was seventy seven years old when he finally admitted
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: to the ass and was arrested, was sentenced to drum
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: roll please, a measly six years and eight months in
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: prison for his crimes. So a child, I mean, there's
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: probably more than one, obviously, but on record, one child
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: for years repeatedly, and you get a little more than
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: six and a half years in the clink. It's unknown
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: just how many other men like Newell still work for
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: UNISEF today and worked for UNISEF in the past. Some
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: whistleblowers who have gone public insist that numerous UN and
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: UNSEEF employees have committed childs over the decades, with many
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: of these members who are allegedly complicit in this behavior
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: holding high ranking positions within the organizations. Andrew McLoud, the
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: former chief of operations that the UN's Emergency Coordination Center, said, quote,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: there are tens of thousands of aid workers around the
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: world with tendencies, but if you wear a UNSEF T shirt,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: nobody will ask what you're up to. End quote. McLoud,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: in his interview hits on why it's been so easy
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: for to take root in organizations like UNISEF and the
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: UN over the years. It's simply the last place that
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: people would expect to find them. You see, when you
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: think of UNISEF, you probably think of passionate advocates who
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: fight for children's rights and rush to the heart of
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: disasters to provide aid. You don't wonder if the person
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: handing out water to thirsty kids or penning legislation protecting
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: them is actually a predator themselves. And to walk around
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: the world that way, constantly suspicious of everyone, would breed
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: an unhealthy amount of paranoia. But what the Cries and
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: UNSEF cases show is that there are plenty of people
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: out there who want children and who know how to hide.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: This case may have been a short one, but it
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: packs a punch. The UNISEF and Cries scandals aren't well known,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and it's going to shock most people to hear that
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: a nonprofit that's so familiar has had such dark happenings
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: in its past. This whole thing makes us wonder what
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: else is happening at this very moment, just out of eyesight.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: What other beloved and supposedly upstanding institutions are hiding dark
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: deeds from the public. How many children are suffering right
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: now at the hands of someone we all respect. These
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: questions alone should be enough to send a chill up
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: your spine. Now, it should not be any surprise to
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: anybody that the Crize organization was involved in this network. Now,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: what connections we can make to the network, I don't know,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: because there's very little public information about this entire thing,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: but we do know that they were producing those materials
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: in the basement of the UNICF headquarters, which is insane.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: That's like the cops doing smoking in the basement of
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: a police station, and that material was being shipped out
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: to a network of predators across the world. I don't
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: know how many times I have to say this, but
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: organized networks of do exist. They're very real, and in
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: my opinion, they exist in a much larger scale today
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: due to the Dark Web and the Internet and how
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: interconnected everybody is nowadays, and how it's so easy if
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: you want something like that, you can get on your computer,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: search it up and have it within ten to fifteen minutes.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know exactly how these people are
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: finding this stuff. I know that they're added to like
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: discord groups and signal chats and all that, but that's
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: just it's a thing. You consistently see these headlines where
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: they bust a network and there's two hundred thousand members
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: that are on these servers, and they're only able to
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: arrest like eighty of them, and out of the eighty,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: only seven of them get sentenced. So the other one
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: hundred and ninety nine thousand or whatever get cut loose,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: and they're just able to continue these crimes against kids,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: even as far back as this whole thing. Think about this.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: When the UNICE effering came out, they determined that there
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: were over four hundred people that were being sent this material,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: and yet they were only able to arrest a handful
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: of the men. And on top of that, they only
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: gave the men ten years in prison. What happened to
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: the men that were receiving these materials? What happened to
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: the people on the mailing list? Why didn't they go
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: through the mailing list and knock on everybody's door and
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: look for this. Why don't they do those sorts of things.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: That's what I've never understood. Why when you have a
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: list of perpetrators in people that you know are complicit
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: in these crimes, do they not go knocking on doors.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: But those are questions that I'll leave, you know, you
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: to think on, and we'll come back to them another day. Anyways, y'all,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: make sure you like the video, comments, subscribe to the channel,
• 16:01
