1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:20,140 Hey everyone, today we're going to be discussing a lost history, a very strange world where 2 00:00:20,140 --> 00:00:24,480 babies were literally sold as commodities and shipped as mail. 3 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,700 Insane right? 4 00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:31,860 What does it say about our past when, just a hundred years ago, people were essentially 5 00:00:31,860 --> 00:00:34,000 shopping for infants? 6 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,020 And why isn't this widely known? 7 00:00:37,020 --> 00:00:41,500 Could it be that this piece of history was deliberately buried or omitted due to its 8 00:00:41,500 --> 00:00:43,820 unsettling implications? 9 00:00:43,820 --> 00:00:48,120 I mean, did people actually need to mass purchase babies? 10 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:53,300 Was this part of some grand repopulation scheme, or a migration way where orphans and young 11 00:00:53,300 --> 00:00:56,200 kids were sold and moved westward? 12 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,580 We've touched on this topic before. 13 00:00:58,580 --> 00:01:03,360 About a year ago, we released a video called Repopulation Postcards and the Cabbage Patch 14 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:04,820 Kids. 15 00:01:04,820 --> 00:01:08,800 Our understanding has since evolved, and we got our hands on a brand new collection of 16 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:13,740 absolutely draw-dropping postcards that we can't wait to share with you. 17 00:01:13,740 --> 00:01:18,100 If you missed that earlier video, here's a quick rundown. 18 00:01:18,100 --> 00:01:23,180 While researching for our Old World Photoshop episode, we stumbled upon a peculiar trend in 19 00:01:23,180 --> 00:01:26,800 postcards from the early 1900s. 20 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:32,940 These postcards, dated from 1890 to 1920, are a genre unto themselves and were circulated 21 00:01:32,940 --> 00:01:34,480 throughout Europe and the United States. 22 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,860 But here's where it gets wild. 23 00:01:36,860 --> 00:01:43,300 Not only do these cards feature babies sprouting from cabbages, there are other categories that 24 00:01:43,300 --> 00:01:46,860 make it abundantly clear what's going on. 25 00:01:46,860 --> 00:01:53,240 It would seem that babies were being sold in baby farms or even baby shops. 26 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,040 We're about to unravel a historical enigma that will leave you questioning everything 27 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,240 you thought you knew about the past. 28 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:04,320 Now that previous video did very well and went viral, but there were some things that we 29 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,920 glossed over or didn't fully unpack. 30 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,700 This video aims to set the record straight. 31 00:02:10,700 --> 00:02:15,180 This topic isn't just about whimsical images of babies in cabbages. 32 00:02:15,180 --> 00:02:20,000 Some viewers actually thought we were saying babies were literally grown in cabbages, and 33 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,760 a few content creators even accused us of photoshopping the cards to deceive people. 34 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,640 The disbelief mainly comes from the fact that many have never encountered these postcards 35 00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:32,480 before, but they are very real. 36 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:37,520 And what they suggest isn't just shocking, it could completely upend our understanding 37 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,460 of history. 38 00:02:39,460 --> 00:02:43,700 Before we dive into our updated collection, let's break this down a bit more because there's 39 00:02:43,700 --> 00:02:45,520 a lot to digest. 40 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,520 Repopulation? 41 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,240 Babies for sale? 42 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,360 What are we even talking about? 43 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,800 Yes, not only have we expanded our collection of these postcards, but we've also translated 44 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,300 them. 45 00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:01,880 And now we've gained a clearer understanding of what these cards depict and the messages 46 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,120 that they carry. 47 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:09,480 It appears that these postcards were essentially advertisements, a way for people to literally 48 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,420 select the baby they wanted to purchase shown on the cards. 49 00:03:13,420 --> 00:03:17,480 If you're a regular on our channel, you're probably already familiar with the Cabbage Babies 50 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:18,480 category. 51 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,980 We covered this extensively in our first Repopulation Postcards video, but that's just scratching 52 00:03:23,980 --> 00:03:25,920 the surface. 53 00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:29,480 There's another category that might be even more unsettling. 54 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,880 We're calling it the Avendou Postcards. 55 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,440 Avendou means for sale in French. 56 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,880 While a significant chunk of these postcards are in French, this phenomenon wasn't limited 57 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,340 to France. 58 00:03:42,340 --> 00:03:47,820 We can say this with certainty because our collection includes American cards with US postage stamps 59 00:03:47,820 --> 00:03:50,620 as well as German and Dutch cards. 60 00:03:50,620 --> 00:03:56,260 So let's be clear, these postcards depict babies as products, essentially turning them 61 00:03:56,260 --> 00:03:58,460 into commodities available for purchase. 62 00:03:58,460 --> 00:04:03,680 And that's not just creepy, it's a stark reminder of how different social norms and practices 63 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,340 were just a century ago. 64 00:04:05,340 --> 00:04:11,180 All right, well let's start off with a postcard that blatantly shows two babies next to a sign 65 00:04:11,180 --> 00:04:14,900 saying Avendou or for sale. 66 00:04:14,900 --> 00:04:19,860 The caption at the top reads, Gene who laughs, Gene who cries. 67 00:04:19,860 --> 00:04:25,740 At first glance you might think it's just some quirky vintage humor, but my suspicion? 68 00:04:25,740 --> 00:04:28,560 We're looking at something far more insidious. 69 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,120 These are actually advertisements. 70 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,720 Still skeptical? 71 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,960 Check out this next one. 72 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,960 Modern baby bazaar. 73 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,500 Free entrance. 74 00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:41,440 Trustworthy establishment. 75 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,180 Does not fear competition. 76 00:04:44,180 --> 00:04:45,720 Everything is for sale. 77 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,640 All you have to do is take. 78 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,840 We don't accept returns. 79 00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:53,000 Do you find anything cute about that? 80 00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:00,920 The card is literally branding itself as a trustworthy establishment and emphasizes a no return policy. 81 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,900 Is this trying to point towards something much deeper? 82 00:05:04,900 --> 00:05:08,080 Also note the Rex label at the bottom right corner. 83 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,620 This indicates one of the studios involved in creating these postcards. 84 00:05:12,620 --> 00:05:17,520 They weren't the only ones, but it seems they had a role in distributing these cards. 85 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:23,680 There could be a connection to Rex theaters and cinema, although that's not confirmed. 86 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,920 Let's examine another card. 87 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,460 This one also boldly states, Bebes avendo. 88 00:05:29,460 --> 00:05:35,340 And here, the babies are displayed in baskets as if they were produce in a grocery store. 89 00:05:35,340 --> 00:05:36,960 But it doesn't stop there. 90 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:43,440 A baby is shown growing out of a cabbage, tying this back to the larger theme of repopulation. 91 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,280 It's clear that we're not talking about cabbages here. 92 00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:49,920 This is about the commodification of human life. 93 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,420 There's another one featuring cabbages being sold. 94 00:05:53,420 --> 00:06:00,340 To the left, we see babies sprouting from both cabbages and roses, freshly harvested if you will. 95 00:06:00,340 --> 00:06:05,560 On the right, there's a display of babies, each accompanied by a phrase. 96 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,540 The card's title, Babies for sale. 97 00:06:08,540 --> 00:06:11,700 With them, you will have the greatest of joys. 98 00:06:11,700 --> 00:06:15,080 The text on the left of the card states, Your choice. 99 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,000 All our babies bring happiness. 100 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,720 Then under each baby, there are phrases almost like mini resumes. 101 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,800 For example, I will be good. 102 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,520 I will not pee in the bed. 103 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:27,760 I am cheerful. 104 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,060 I would love you. 105 00:06:29,060 --> 00:06:30,400 I will wait for you. 106 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,900 I would be nice. 107 00:06:32,900 --> 00:06:37,480 It's almost as if each baby is accompanied by a sales pitch, a list of features to help 108 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,120 you make your purchase. 109 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:44,480 So we're forced to ask, What's going on here? 110 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,620 It's not just an odd historical artifact. 111 00:06:47,620 --> 00:06:52,960 These postcards serve as a window into an unsettling era, one that treated the youngest members 112 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:59,000 of society as mere products, complete with selling points and no return policies. 113 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,120 Yes, these are babies being sold in a cart. 114 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,980 The cabbages are symbolic of them being grown and sold as produce. 115 00:07:07,980 --> 00:07:16,080 This card proclaims, The cries of Paris, here are pretty cabbage heads, babies, not expensive. 116 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,400 Are we to understand that these children were being sold at bargain prices? 117 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,920 And let's not ignore the emotional aspect. 118 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,060 Many of these children depicted don't look happy. 119 00:07:26,060 --> 00:07:29,200 Some even appear to be screaming or visibly terrified. 120 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:36,940 There are also cards showing babies confined in cages, treated like pets or even animals. 121 00:07:36,940 --> 00:07:39,060 Where is the humor in that? 122 00:07:39,060 --> 00:07:40,200 The card is explicit. 123 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:41,200 Babies for sale. 124 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,200 Do you want a baby? 125 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,340 The implications are staggering. 126 00:07:46,340 --> 00:07:51,440 This isn't just an odd or quirky element of historical ephemera. 127 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:56,160 These postcards were evocative of a time when societal values and norms were disturbingly 128 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:01,460 different from today, to the point where the commodification of children was openly depicted 129 00:08:01,460 --> 00:08:04,440 and possibly socially acceptable. 130 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:09,100 So the question is, what does this all mean for our understanding of history and human 131 00:08:09,100 --> 00:08:10,500 morality? 132 00:08:10,500 --> 00:08:14,380 Because clearly, these aren't just pieces of vintage art. 133 00:08:14,380 --> 00:08:18,520 They're windows into a world we can barely comprehend. 134 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,780 This next card might just be the most unsettling one. 135 00:08:21,780 --> 00:08:24,520 The text is simple but chilling. 136 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:25,680 For sale. 137 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:26,680 Buy me. 138 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,880 I'm bored here. 139 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,400 And the background is just as disturbing. 140 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,120 An empty street, devoid of any life or activity. 141 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,440 The child is bored. 142 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:41,860 But that boredom seems to hint at something far more unsettling. 143 00:08:41,860 --> 00:08:43,580 What are we to make of this? 144 00:08:43,580 --> 00:08:44,580 An empty street? 145 00:08:44,580 --> 00:08:46,900 A bored child for sale? 146 00:08:46,900 --> 00:08:51,240 Could this be suggestive of a larger, darker issue at play? 147 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,720 Maybe these children weren't just bored. 148 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,200 Maybe they were neglected. 149 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,520 Or worse. 150 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,580 Trapped in a system that viewed them as goods rather than as human beings. 151 00:09:00,580 --> 00:09:03,080 Moving on. 152 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,020 Here's another depiction of a baby store. 153 00:09:06,020 --> 00:09:08,460 Let's break down the text. 154 00:09:08,460 --> 00:09:09,460 Child market. 155 00:09:09,460 --> 00:09:11,520 Beautiful opportunities. 156 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,360 Choose the cutest large selection of babies. 157 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,460 So a large selection of babies. 158 00:09:18,460 --> 00:09:20,900 Once again, note the text at the bottom. 159 00:09:20,900 --> 00:09:22,740 Avendu. 160 00:09:22,740 --> 00:09:25,200 These babies are for sale. 161 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,700 This isn't just some quirky oddball postcard. 162 00:09:28,700 --> 00:09:31,580 Now this one's super interesting. 163 00:09:31,580 --> 00:09:37,320 This postcard belongs to the multi-babies, water babies category within our collection. 164 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,700 This card is unique however because of the writing on the back. 165 00:09:39,700 --> 00:09:46,200 It's dated to 1907 from the postmark and was actually sent in the US. 166 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:51,700 The message says, Dear Elle, don't you think they are very pretty on the other side? 167 00:09:51,700 --> 00:09:56,200 If so, hurry up and order one before they get sold. 168 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,880 Love from Aji. 169 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,340 So hold up. 170 00:10:00,340 --> 00:10:02,920 It's not just a surreal artwork. 171 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,300 This person is saying to the receiving end that they need to hurry up and put in an order 172 00:10:07,300 --> 00:10:10,080 before they get sold? 173 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,960 That's beyond weird and it seems to suggest that this is more than just art, but a way 174 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,140 to promote the selling of babies to those in the know. 175 00:10:19,140 --> 00:10:21,260 Check this one out. 176 00:10:21,260 --> 00:10:25,380 This particular card actually has the babies names on it. 177 00:10:25,380 --> 00:10:28,400 This suggests that these aren't just made up characters. 178 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,900 These babies are based on real children. 179 00:10:31,900 --> 00:10:36,580 Are we looking at a strange form of Victorian advertising where the artwork actually serves 180 00:10:36,580 --> 00:10:40,340 as a catalog for choosing a baby to buy? 181 00:10:40,340 --> 00:10:44,620 The caption translates to, I wish you a similar small family. 182 00:10:44,620 --> 00:10:48,240 And it features 26 babies on the card. 183 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,140 So who are these kids? 184 00:10:50,140 --> 00:10:51,900 Are they orphans? 185 00:10:51,900 --> 00:10:54,720 Could this be a family portrait? 186 00:10:54,720 --> 00:11:00,060 Intriguingly, the ink used for the babies names matches the ink on the back of the card. 187 00:11:00,060 --> 00:11:04,400 So whoever sent this card, knew these babies by name. 188 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:10,160 It would seem that this card was sent with the intention of facilitating a purchase. 189 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:16,060 Dated to August 1903, the postcard is addressed to a Mr. and Ms. Charlot. 190 00:11:16,060 --> 00:11:18,680 It appears to have been sent to a couple. 191 00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:21,160 But the big question is, why? 192 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,580 And why hasn't this facet of history ever been shared with us? 193 00:11:25,580 --> 00:11:27,840 Was this kept secret? 194 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,920 This mysterious practice is not an isolated event. 195 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:36,500 It connects to broader topics like the orphan trains, foundling hospitals, and even world 196 00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:38,500 fairs. 197 00:11:38,500 --> 00:11:43,220 We actually have a postcard that displays these cabbage children as they're on sale and the 198 00:11:43,220 --> 00:11:47,800 back of the card indicates that this was part of an exposition. 199 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:52,860 Just like the other cards, these children have special traits or skills listed, almost like 200 00:11:52,860 --> 00:11:57,440 a resume, seemingly to entice potential buyers. 201 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:03,140 So to truly grasp the implications of these mysterious postcards, we need to talk about 202 00:12:03,140 --> 00:12:05,940 the first ever narrative film. 203 00:12:05,940 --> 00:12:11,240 While there were short films and moving pictures before this, the first narrative movie with 204 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:17,200 an actual storyline was Lafayette Shu from 1896. 205 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:22,360 This movie shows a fairy who's not just a magical being but acts more like a merchant handling 206 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,240 multiple parentless children quite abruptly. 207 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,300 So much so that it might even be considered abusive today. 208 00:12:29,300 --> 00:12:37,660 In a 1902 remake titled Sage Fama de Premier Classe or Midwife to the Upper Class, the story 209 00:12:37,660 --> 00:12:40,260 even gets more disturbing. 210 00:12:40,260 --> 00:12:45,620 The children are kept in some sort of reserve where wealthy couples come to shop for them, 211 00:12:45,620 --> 00:12:48,360 similar to how one would shop for products. 212 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:53,920 Strangely, live babies are used in the film, crying as they are laid on the ground for their 213 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,520 potential parents to examine. 214 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,720 This historical context provides vital insight into what these Cabbage Patch postcards might 215 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:02,720 really be. 216 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:08,600 They're not just bizarre artworks of a bygone era, but could actually be a catalogue type 217 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,420 advertisement for the sale of children. 218 00:13:11,420 --> 00:13:15,880 Especially when we consider that these Cabbage Patch kids are being offered up for sale in 219 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:21,140 a context that predates or is contemporary with these early films. 220 00:13:21,140 --> 00:13:26,720 We even have a postcard in our collection that's particularly striking in its relief style, 221 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,260 something we haven't seen really in any other postcard, but once again it clearly indicates 222 00:13:31,260 --> 00:13:35,580 that the babies in these Cabbage Patches are up for sale. 223 00:13:35,580 --> 00:13:41,700 So when we connect the dots between the postcards and these early films, the implications are deeply 224 00:13:41,700 --> 00:13:48,020 troubling and raise serious ethical questions about practices and values from a century ago. 225 00:13:48,020 --> 00:13:52,800 For sure, the struggle to digest this hidden chapter of history is magnified by the simple 226 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,420 fact that it was never part of our official education. 227 00:13:57,420 --> 00:14:03,340 And yet, the echoes of these practices have lived on through folk tales and nursery stories. 228 00:14:03,340 --> 00:14:08,440 The stork delivered the baby, or you were found in a Cabbage Patch. 229 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:13,680 These cultural explanations for where babies come from might sound innocent enough, but when 230 00:14:13,680 --> 00:14:18,340 you dig deeper, they may actually have darker origins. 231 00:14:18,340 --> 00:14:24,360 Were these stories merely created as a way to sidestep awkward discussions about reproduction? 232 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:30,240 Or could they be distorted echoes of real, unsettling practices from not so distant history? 233 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,680 Well, let's take a look at some of these postcards in hand. 234 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:35,680 Okay. 235 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,340 Hey, what's up guys? 236 00:14:39,340 --> 00:14:46,960 We just wanted to show you, in person, in hands, our updated repopulation postcard collection. 237 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,520 So we're going to go ahead and start with the Cabbage Patch Babies. 238 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,340

we're not going to go through all the handwriting just yet, but we just want 242 00:14:59,180 --> 00:15:01,780 to quickly go through them. 243 00:15:01,780 --> 00:15:06,780 This one is a, um, let's

thinking of. 310 00:17:23,780 --> 00:17:29,780 And it's interesting because you'll see, um, some of the same children reused stock photos. 311 00:17:29,780 --> 00:17:33,780 But this one is special because it's a World Fair postcard. 312 00:17:33,780 --> 00:17:34,780 Turn it around. 313 00:17:34,780 --> 00:17:35,780 You can see. 314 00:17:35,780 --> 00:17:36,780 Exposition Internale. 315

kind of like a multi babies, but still they're in cabbages. 322 00:18:03,780 --> 00:18:05,780 This one's crazy. 323 00:18:05,780 --> 00:18:11,780 It's illustrated or painted, but you basically see farm animals with the children. 324 00:18:11,780 --> 00:18:14,780 So it's some symbolism going on there. 325 00:18:14,780 --> 00:18:15,780 I think this one's a monkey. 326 00:18:15,780 --> 00:18:16,780 Yeah, that's definitely a monkey. 327 00:18:16,780 --> 00:18:22,780 And there's, there's like a, I guess like a collection or different versions of this one. 328 00:18:22,780 --> 00:18:25,780 The next one is the same thing of the same style. 329 00:18:25,780 --> 00:18:27,780 Looks like the same artist. 330 00:18:27,780 --> 00:18:30,780 Baby freshly plucked from the fields. 331

00:19:17,780 But this is a, a really special one because it's like, uh, basically the most babies of, 357 00:19:17,780 --> 00:19:21,780 like real photos of babies into one artwork that I've seen. 358 00:19:21,780 --> 00:19:23,780 So it's an interesting composite. 359 00:19:23,780 --> 00:19:25,780 But anyways. 360 00:19:25,780 --> 00:19:28,780 Now we're going to, um, can you get the, okay, you got

00:20:23,780 There's a lot of these. 388 00:20:23,780 --> 00:20:24,780 So. 389 00:20:24,780 --> 00:20:25,780 Okay. 390 00:20:25,780 --> 00:20:26,780 Yeah. 391 00:20:26,780 --> 00:20:27,780 This is interesting. 392 00:20:27,780 --> 00:20:28,780 There's a lot of the style with babies and hats. 393 00:20:28,780 --> 00:20:34,780 Um, this one's just like your typical, I don't know, hunting or beaver hat or something. 394 00:20:34,780 --> 00:20:59,720 But it gets even more interesting because this one seems to depict Phrygian cats. 395 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,700 so they're like socialist babies or being programmed or something and then you 396 00:21:04,700 --> 00:21:10,180 have all this interesting architecture so that one's super special right here 397 00:21:10,180 --> 00:21:17,220 can't make it out clearly but so this one is a very interesting one probably 398 00:21:17,220 --> 00:21:23,520 already brought it up but um the names are on the children and the message 399 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:28,920 basically basically says um I wish you could have a small little family like 400 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:34,520 this and it's to a couple so 1903 let me see those names one more time just so we 401 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:42,460 can get oh no the other side so you can kind of get a whoever wrote this knew the 402 00:21:42,460 --> 00:21:53,040 names so there's actually a lot more of these but this is the only one that we 403 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,280 have in our collection no we have a couple more eggs but this there's a lot 404 00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:01,280 more of this like like a lot of them on a farm or like kind of like a being 405 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:10,500 incubated yeah this is the babies being delivered we have a two of this one this 406 00:22:10,500 --> 00:22:19,020 one's kind of interesting maybe a higher class of babies or something they have a 407 00:22:19,020 --> 00:22:24,020 nicer little chariot some sort man I can't get over the yeah the nice 408 00:22:24,020 --> 00:22:38,780 right yeah super cool yep this is a baby farm the farm of babies let's see 1921 is the postmark 409 00:22:38,780 --> 00:22:48,320 okay this is the style of babies basically defecating and chamber pots um there's a 410 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:57,200 couple there's a couple of these yeah it's kind of weird let's see oh something so early 1900s 411 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:11,640 this is um they're being transferred in a uh like a tram electric so interesting 1910 there's the 412 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:18,700 potties one and then you got your top hats of course there's a couple of these on a clock yeah 413 00:23:18,700 --> 00:23:28,660 and this is the mushroom style this one's kind of weird um you won't see it in this one but the 414 00:23:28,660 --> 00:23:32,860 amanita is going to probably I think we have one with that I think these are bullets yeah 415 00:23:32,860 --> 00:23:42,120 oh there's some writing there 1905 multi-babies being delivered 416 00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:55,800 it was being hanged hung on the telephone yeah there's a couple 417 00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:09,120 of those this is um babies being intoxicated very strange bizarre smoking drinking hookah 1907 418 00:24:09,120 --> 00:24:14,340 this one to me is my favorite in terms of surrealism 419 00:24:14,340 --> 00:24:18,980 because they're kind of like all on the bed and all in this room but if you look up close 420 00:24:18,980 --> 00:24:23,980 there's also a painting of the mint cabbages I don't know this is kind of weird 421 00:24:23,980 --> 00:24:32,160 more of the chamber pots yeah so it's like four different ones four different styles right there 422 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,980 there's another one 423 00:24:33,980 --> 00:24:44,480 this one's kind of a weird style babies being um hanged from uh power poles 424 00:24:44,480 --> 00:25:04,100 yeah babies being delivered in aircrafts hot air balloons got a lot of those that's 1908 425 00:25:04,100 --> 00:25:09,100 being hatched 426 00:25:09,100 --> 00:25:19,300 now these are weird there's a couple different ones of these but babies basically relying on the milk 427 00:25:19,300 --> 00:25:20,440 of a cow 428 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:29,140 I think 1915 I'm not sure oh we have another one of those so I think we have two of those 429 00:25:29,140 --> 00:25:36,140 different ones possibly or maybe it's a little different yeah maybe it's a little different 430 00:25:36,140 --> 00:25:38,140 I'm not sure 431 00:25:38,140 --> 00:25:42,140 this is them working on the fields 432 00:25:42,140 --> 00:25:48,140 yeah this is the bell message I remember this no not the bell sorry the guy on the back 433 00:25:48,140 --> 00:25:50,140 who wrote it 434 00:25:50,140 --> 00:25:53,140 dear bell I think yeah I think that's what it was 435 00:25:53,140 --> 00:25:55,140 interesting 436 00:25:55,140 --> 00:26:02,140 here's um the multi babies hats again they have a lot of different style of hats 437 00:26:02,140 --> 00:26:07,140 I know we don't have this um the top hat one but there's there's one with a bunch of top hats 438 00:26:07,140 --> 00:26:10,140 like they're all wearing top hats which is weird 439 00:26:10,140 --> 00:26:24,140 babies hanging out on the roof 1905 okay okay next one we'll do the water babies 440 00:26:24,140 --> 00:26:31,140 yes I put them into one group so yeah this is the stork water baby category let's look at this 441 00:26:31,140 --> 00:26:37,140 one a little bit longer put back to the front yeah they're kind of um all grouped up here 442 00:26:37,140 --> 00:26:46,380 and one little area. Very strange. They're writing the storks. That's a dog. 443 00:26:46,380 --> 00:26:57,900 Storks teaching little babies. They have a little classroom. 444 00:26:57,900 --> 00:27:16,660 Kind of the water wheel, the power source type thing. Yeah, water babies. 445 00:27:16,660 --> 00:27:23,880 1906. This one is, this one is a crazy one. I probably already brought it up, but this 446 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:29,880 is the one where, on the back, it's basically saying to hurry up and make an order. Let 447 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:36,840 me see if I can show you. Dear Elle, don't you think they are very pretty on the other 448 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:42,880 side? So it's basically saying, if so, hurry up. You want to do it? 449 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:47,880 Yeah, if so, hurry up and make, oh, now I don't know what it's saying. 450 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:52,880 Order. Oh, hurry up and order. Okay, you say it. 451 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:59,880 Hurry up and order one before they all get sold. Love from Aji. 452 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,880 Interesting. What's the year? Hold on, let me see the year. 453 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:08,880 So yeah, this is a crazy one. Because, I mean, I don't, maybe it's a joke, but still. 454 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:19,880 Pretty insane. Water babies, landing, possibly shipment. 1905. 455 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:26,880 Yeah, these are just weird. You really look at the faces. 456 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:27,880 Yeah. 457 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:28,880 Yeah. 458 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:29,880 Louisiana? 459 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:30,880 No. 460 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:31,880 No. 461 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:32,880 Okay. 462 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:33,880 Let's go to the... 463 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:47,880 Yeah, this one's interesting because it says Stork Magazine. Basically, kind of like 464 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,880 like a little reserve or... 465 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,880 A publication? 466 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,880 So they're kind of being, this is like their classroom where they're being taught, 467 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,880 kind of like a little orphanage. Being delivered by Storks. 468 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:04,880 Let's keep a vote. And there are nests and trees. 469 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:05,880 Yep. 470 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:06,880 Big nests. 471 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:07,880 1907. 472 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:08,880 I love this one. 473 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:19,880 This is the water babies, the water lilies, which gets into Charles Kingsley's book. 474 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:26,880 And so, yeah, we'll have to break that down in a future video, but it gets into some weird 475 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:42,880 symbolism, life, rebirth, spirits. Oh wait, hold on, sorry. So yeah, this one, I think it's 476 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:49,880 crazy because it could possibly show that the Storks are not just mailmen or delivery services, 477 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:59,880 but possibly some kind of air transfer in which packages or babies were delivered. So yeah. 478 00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:04,880 1905, I think. 479 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:10,880 And here we have the Stork mailman delivering babies. 480 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,880 1906, I think. Five or six. 481 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,880 Yeah. Cool. 482 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:23,880 We got two more categories. It's just a lot of good ones, you know, I want to show them. 483 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:30,880 Okay. So this lady is what we call the red woman, which is also the midwife. 484 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,880 Um, the lady that you see from the Alice Gee films. 485 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:41,880 She's basically the merchant, the lady that collects the babies and sells them. 486 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:58,880 Yeah, some of these are just a little creepy. There's one with the fishing hook. 487 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:04,880 Yeah, because some of these I don't think are like the original babies.

681 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:40,880 Similarly, these avant-doux postcards, which mainstream culture often dismisses as quirky or amusing art pieces, take on a new, darker meaning upon closer examination. 682 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:45,880 But there's nothing funny about them when you consider the implications. 683 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:55,880 When you factor in the incubators showcased at world fairs and how Alice Gede was inspired by these displays of premature babies, questions arise. 684 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,880 Were these infants merely on display? 685 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,880 Or were they also up for purchase? 686 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:09,880 Take a look at one postcard where a stork is weighing a baby against a bag of money, symbolizing the infant as a type of tradable asset. 687 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:21,880 Well, this history is not well known, which leads us to explore the history behind the orphan trains, the first narrative film ever made, in these so-called repopulation postcards. 688 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:30,880 Once you connect the dots, it's evident that these are not just fanciful artworks, they symbolize an actual practice that once took place. 689 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:35,880 So why label them repopulation postcards? 690 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:40,880 Simply put, that's the language used on the cards themselves. 691 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:45,880 They depict the repopulation of civilization through what appears to be baby farming. 692 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,880 Other imagery includes a device that generates babies. 693 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:55,880 A repopulation tank where men in top hats are attending to a large red woman in a cabbage patch. 694 00:40:55,880 --> 00:41:02,880 And an umbrella of repopulation that also seems to act as a prison for these young children. 695 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:13,880 The symbolism of reseeding operations, cabbage seeds, rose seeds, and even the notion of planting future soldiers is rich and provocative. 696 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:24,880 It raises questions about whether children were distributed into cities with the intent of preparing them for war or other societal roles, as indicated by imagery of babies in boot camps. 697 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:31,880 These postcards seem to present an unambiguous narrative of the sale and distribution of babies. 698 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:41,880 Phrases like, babies for sale, make it difficult to interpret these images as anything other than advertisements for infants as products or produce. 699 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:48,880 Images of storks or delivery men raising children, babies in top hats being groomed for elite society, 700 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:57,880 and disturbing depictions of babies being boiled or set on fire only add to the mystery and darkness behind these postcards. 701 00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:07,880 If it's true that our cities are inherited and repopulated after some major event, then the sale and distribution of babies might be part of a larger operation, 702 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:11,880 perhaps even involving techniques for growing new citizens. 703 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:18,880 Considering that the orphan train movement reportedly relocated over 200,000 children, it begs the question, 704 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,880 where did all these children originate? 705 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:27,880 Breaking free from the confines of accepted mainstream history allows us to entertain alternative perspectives, 706 00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,880 like ancient or Victorian era cloning practices. 707 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:40,880 Far from merely being sold, these postcards hint at babies being actively grown and incubated. 708 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:47,880 This leads us into the arcane and esoteric subject of queen bee goddesses, such as Diana of Ephesus, 709 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:51,880 a figure also symbolically connected to foundling hospitals. 710 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:59,880 The notion of receding operations isn't a recent invention of science fiction but has roots in ancient texts and folklore, 711 00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:03,880 suggesting the concept has been entertained for millennia. 712 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,880 Given that such transformative knowledge could have been kept hidden, 713 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:12,880 it's plausible that much of this history has been obscured or lost over time. 714 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,880 These postcards are far more than just surreal art. 715 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:21,880 They may serve as visual clues to an unsettling and overlooked chapter in history. 716 00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:27,880 A chapter where the commodification of infants could have been a widely practiced yet clandestine operation. 717 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:33,880 Unlike most researchers who have examined these cards purely from an artistic lens, 718 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:38,880 delving into their symbolism within the framework of alternative history and societal resets 719 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,880 offers a startling new perspective, 720 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:47,880 one that hints at a large-scale selling of babies as products in the early 20th century. 721 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:49,880 We're excited to hear your thoughts on this subject, 722 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:55,880 especially since our understanding has deepened since we first stumbled upon these cabbage baby postcards. 723 00:43:55,880 --> 00:44:02,880 We just wanted to say that your continued support and feedback really does inspire us to keep researching and exploring. 724 00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,880 If you're enjoying the content and would like to see more, 725 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:10,880 we'd love to hear your review of the book and any suggestions for improvement. 726 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:15,880 We're committed to continuously elevating our work and tackling ambitious projects in the future. 727 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,880 So, thank you once again for being a part of this journey. 728 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,880 We got some cool projects coming next that you guys will really enjoy. 729 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:29,880 Thanks for watching and all we can hope is that our minds may be unveiled. 730 00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,880 Let go of everything you think to be true. 731 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,880 Relax the mind and ask the question, 732 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,880 Do I truly understand what this reality is?
