A woman walks into the Pavena Foundation. “You have to help me!! Please!” She frantically tells the nonprofit that she has just escaped from the country of Georgia. She had been held hostage by an organized crime group that forced her to do unspeakable things. Not only that - there are 100 more girls trapped there. “What did they make you do?” They wanted her eggs. Her human eggs. She says the 100 girls were forced to take hormone injections, forcibly go through the IVF process, so the traffickers could take and harvest their eggs. This is the case - of the human egg farm. The conspiracies and questions of - who are they selling the eggs to? Where are they getting the victims? Is there a larger industry that we don’t know about? Is this the only organization doing this? And… is this is the start of the real life “Handmaid’s Tale?” Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com
Full Episode
It's a place called Baraska. The story starts like this. It's a long story, but one that you've never heard before. It's about a place that dwells in the mountains. It's a place where really bad things happen. And you may think that you know all the bad things. You may think you've got it all figured out, but you don't. Because the truth of the story is worse than monsters or men.
This is the starting of the story of Baraska. It's about a 12-year-old boy by the name of Sam and his entire family. They're moving to the Ozarks. This is a real place. There's a whole TV show based off of it. It's in the U.S. This is naturally the perfect ominous setting for a mystery. It's beautiful, don't get me wrong.
I've never been, but just looking at pictures and videos of the Ozarks, you've got the types of riverways, the picturesque types of rivers where they're calm enough and wide enough that you can ride your little boat through it and it's curvy. It's like an F1 trail.
And on sides of the river, it's just these mountainous landscapes with all these tall trees and you feel like you can turn left and there's more river, there's more trees, and it's absolutely beautiful. The Ozarks even have these maze-like underground caves that you can explore and visit.
What state is it in?
It's part of Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Kansas.
Oh.
It's massive. It's like a huge landscape. Okay. Now, it's a place filled with a lot of history. A lot of stories come out of the Ozarks. And a lot of them are oddly mysterious. I think by daytime, it's a dream destination. Like, you want to be there at all hours that the sun is up. But the second that the sun sets...
maybe i'm just a scaredy cat i think that i would not want to be outside alone by myself sam and his family are moving to the ozarks sam's dad he just got transferred to the sheriff's office in a small town there and as much as everyone in the family seems to be adjusting well whitney the 14 year old daughter so it's 12 year old sam and whitney the 14 year old daughter
