How the CIA Ran a Secret Toy Operation in South Asia
Guangdong, China, 2005. It was late at night. A factory manager made his way past the assembly line to the adjoining warehouse where a meeting was set to take place - a group of men had already gathered. He didn’t know exactly who these men were, but from his contact he knew they were important people. Not wasting any time he presented to them what they asked for - a toy that he and his colleagues had passionately been working on the past few months.
Upon inspection, the men seemed pleased with the product, but in order to move to the next phase of operation, final approval was needed from Langley. You see, these men were from the CIA, and this operation, if successful, could help put an end to one of the greatest conflicts in modern time. But how? What was this toy? And who were they targeting?
This happened in 2005, but what lead to this moment, actually started four years earlier...

I love these half-animated stories and cinematic beginnings. These videos are insanely fascinating to watch.
JohnnyDaPrankstaGangsta, agreed. The partial animation is powerful and really hits the message home. Please do more like this (if you have the time to) in the future!
pretty pictures n bright colours pretty
Ikr it’s the best!
JohnnyBadboy true I just keep on watching
Same
No one:
Absolutely no one:
CIA: wHAt If wE TeRroRiZeD cHiLDrEn
LOL
NONONONONONONONONONONONONONNONONONONONONOONNONONO
*a spiffy idea, 'EY BILLY, call Joe from that kiddie place--*
LOL
i was ur 1000th like
*I was like:* _"I c I c, the toys are gonna have have some hidden spyware they can use to find the terrorists, right??"_
*KB:* _"Their faces slowly melted off revealing a demon underneath"_
*Me: **_O_o_*
Yeah. At first I thought they were gonna be bugged or something. That was very unexpecting to say the least.
Yup
Haha same here
lol
I was expecting when the prototype toy to arrive in Langley base it was a tiny bomb a fake for to be transported and detonated once inside
When you referred to the children and said “their faces started melting off”, I nearly had a panic attack.
Really
same
Same ( comment every 1-2 years lol )
7:01 That is something I never thought I'd ever hear: Jihadist Darth Maul.
Hahahaha
*Top 10 darkest star wars origin storys*
Execute order 21.
ALLAHU STARBAR
How do you think Darth Maul got his double ended light saber?
Through Jihad.
Death Star was an inside job
0:34 so were just gonna ignore the fact that our protagonist has 12 fingers?
Let's all blame Charlie the illustrator
I was confused cause I didn’t see his thumbs
oops...
Yes
Me: Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!
That was the slickest ad outro ever
actually, I know how it was coming so I didn't watch it
Julian McDonald ikr
I swear Kento puts more thought in his swegways that the videos themselves
Well I don't feel any problem in watching that though...
I'm sorry but am I the only one who found this whole plan absolutely hilarious? I could see it as article for the Onion or a South Park episode.
exactly 100 likes sweetio!
Yes very amusing
Lol yeah I thought the toy is gonna have some tracking device or some sort, but it's just Darth Maul Osama, lololol
It's this way with most CIA plans: "Hey let's wiretap cats" "We should definetly try hypnosis to mind wash people int becoming assassins"
Looks like one asset for getting a government job there is being a crazy pothead that watched to many fictional spy movies...
AI Dirk?
In a country where seeing people dying in a daily basis, one doll with star wars enemy face is probably not the scariest thing.
As a kid I would find it cool to have such a toy. At that age I wouldn't know who Bin Laden is anyway.
@ If you lived in Pakistan or Afghanistan?!
@@GabrielMartinez-tc6yf I'm pretty sure most of the bombing isn't America. Afaik, we only bomb specific places while trying to reduce the amount civilian casualties (and the gov't usually lies about that death toll), but everyone else is bombing everyone they don't like. At least that's what's happening in Syria.
Holy shit are we talking about pakistan or fucking north korea? Lmfao children don't see people dying everyday in that area
@@GabrielMartinez-tc6yf uh... Pakistan never got bombed by the US, you know that right?
You ever just traumatize some kids to meme bin laden
7:15 "And all trace of the operation in China [was] wiped out".
RIP Factory Manager
Doubtful. Imagine if the Chinese government caught wimd of it? That would have had devastating consequences. They propably just got money in exchange for keeping their mouths shut.
@@Tiro_Chopper Nah the Chinese Communist government probably saw this plan, laughed at how retarded it is, then just let the CIA do their weird stuff while gaining monetary gains in it.
How do we know about all this, in that case ?
@@alexwschan185 CIA: “ ok we need to keep this secret guys.” China: “ they’re... idiots...!”
Thank you Kento Bento, very cool
Ideas for u to make Trump dolls, o great supreme leader?
Epic
Keng Boon Lim
No need, because everybody in NK already hates the USA anyway
Very interesting
Hello fatty. 😛
"Jihadist Darth Maul"
never thought I'd hear that phrase
Gimme more videos or else I make Kento Bento Devil action figures!
Kento bent Tundere loli figures...baka Did you think I WANTED to teach you to speak Japanese or anything?!?!
metaempiricist what?
@@shadowwoodsman3624 Lol forgot the S in tsundere...other than that I'm not sure how to explain the joke to you so I'll leave this th-cam.com/video/qxmFT6nFprs/w-d-xo.html
metaempiricist that doesn’t seem like a very educational video
@@shadowwoodsman3624 Lol you're right, my mistake. Have this one. th-cam.com/video/vDDc6rn_WSs/w-d-xo.html
Credit where credit is due, that was a pretty fine Segway into the ad
Dominic Brown “segue”, Segway is a product name. Just sayin’
These are awesome. The occasional semi-animated illustrations (instead of just relying on stock images like 99% of these kinds of shows) are great, and telling only one deep, well-researched story instead of a quick 2-minute each "Top 10!" quite sets you apart from the crowd. You should honestly have far more exposure than you do, but just keep doing what you're doing and I'm sure it'll reach that level in time. Also, that ad segue was slick af.
Thank you :)
Star Wars: How do we promote our toys in Middle East countries?
Hasbro: I have Bin Laden action figure that looks like Darth Maul.
Star Wars: Genius!
*Japan off to the side taking notes* “interesting :)”
For the last time, this did not take place in the Middle East, it took place in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
None of your videos are boring, but this one actually sent chills down my spine. So crazy to think of the tactics a government is willing to use. Glad you're back dude, keep uploading and we'll keep showing love!
Personally somehow i found this scary
@@vaiyaktikasolarbeam1906 Then you will have a heart attack from getting into the history of the CIA.
They have kept the stripes on the American flag, red with blood.
@@curious_one1156 ??? allright that kind of farfetched. Blood stinks you know. You cant use that on a flag.
@@vaiyaktikasolarbeam1906 Does the US not stink too ?
@@curious_one1156 hey wait, yeah but... ah ok now I understand what you mean with "red" before.😂 well I think that CIA one is an open secret.
🧸 War. Terrorism. al-Qaeda... Sure enough this video got demonetized.

Damn it .-.
Hmm... interesting
Cool!
He’s soo good at incorporating his ads in te stories it’s insane
This is one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard in my life.
Exactly
Yeah, if some random foreigners gave your kid a demon morphing action figure, you're probably not going to be happy. You would probably think, what the hell is wrong with these dickheads.
It's truly and immature idea.
"LOLOLOL We're gonna roast Bin-Laden by making him in to a shit toy"
This is why they got Trump as president now.
To add some salt to it: US gov actually have plan of actions in case of zombie apocalypse.
Shut up and pay your taxes 😉
"Took out the Pentagon"? That plane took down the Pentagon the same way kicking a hole in a door is bringing down a house.
@@machy8515 *lose and i don't agree.
yup. just a small hole.
4:41 You had my curiosity... Now you have my attention.
Now you have my erection
R/cursed comment
All things aside, KB has the most smooth plug ins for their sponsors... The content is well researched and beautifully narrated and I don't mind that the videos are sponsored; moreover I'm impressed by the fact that he is capable of plugging them in so smoothly
kento: "this video is made possible by audible"
dashlane: "hold my tablet"
Your videos are very well made and it makes my day every time you upload :)
_A toy that they had passionately worked on..._
Me: *I see a demon*
I would like to hire that Chinese factory supervisor as my production manager.
12 fingers should be very efficient.
Underrated comment
I was half expecting him to say Robert O'Neill actually found one of those action figures on Bin Laden's desk. Great video Kento, as always :)
Fun Fact: There were crayons in those blue bags too. Specifically from the crayola company. They used to be available in a market where smuggled stuff could be found. I remember my cousin buying a set from Peshawar, Pakistan.
The way you present your sponsors at the end is so creative dude!
You earned a sub. You have a way of telling stories that keeps me here, even when I have another video cued. Well played sir.
The way you tell stories is flawless. Please keep making these, the suspense and satisfying endings you manage to give these tales is stunning.
Was looking at your page a couple days ago to see if you had uploaded, noticed it had been a month so I was expecting this. Your videos never disappoint, greatness cannot be rushed!
Great to hear your voice again!
*your
@@QQ-dw9pl wtf
Your videos have everything thing I look for....rich content, suspense build, representation. I love watching it and yeah I love your voice...I can hear you all day long....great work
5:12 biggest anime plot twist ever!
I thought for sure the toy was going to have some tracking device/ listening device
I'm never disappointed when I come to your channel. Much love and appreciation
I always amaze how smoothly and perfectly you arrange the sponsor's content after yours 🙌
I think you get this often, your transition from content to sponsor is probably the best on TH-cam
i love how he can make all of his awesome videos into one big ad
Your videoes are always so well made and interesting.
You are genuinely the best story teller i know, keep up the amazing and intriguing video's
Man these stories are so good these can be used in a film!
Hello babe how are things going ✌️🖐️
The demon thing scarred me
you're a great story teller, i thoroughly enjoyed it
I just noticed your videos today and have watched about 7 of them so far. They’re very well done and extremely interesting. Subscribed
Nice dog
ً thanks
When I saw the title of this video,I thought they hid some spying device or transmitter inside the toys
Hasbro also has this little known line of toys called
NERF
These videos are always interesting. I can watch awesome animations and learn at the same time :D
Your content is always interesting, and you have the smoothest segue to your sponsor. Subscribed.
This man is good at introducing his ads
This is the most batshit insane way of winning hearts and minds, that I have ever heard
just found out about your channel and omg I love your contents so much!
As someone from afghanistan who was a child at that time thank god that did not happen i would probably be traumatised lol
Truly disturbing what the CIA did.
I really enjoy these very interesting stories you have to tell, also the way you tell them is great. I especially loved your Bangladesh bank video
You seriously need more subscribers ! Your work is amazing !
sick ad transition you got there
God I'm like an addict who just got his fix. Thanks for another amazing video
As always, great content my friend 👏🏽👏🏽✌🏽
Kento Bento, I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and, I love how you teach us how about country’s, borders, continents, etc. Your videos are very educational and I would like to help you, Not with animation or anything like that but, to help with subtitles. I would love to subtitle your videos in Hindi.
It's been too long
i kinda expect this to be another bank heist video but using toy :v
Love the video man.. definetly giving me a reason to do my own research. Will subscribe.
You placed your ad very good. You combined it very well with your video
Kento I'm gonna be honest, that was a really good transition to audible.
8:34
OMG SHAQ KILLED THE GUY
I love the way you connect your videos with the ad
Lol😂😂
Man your videos are amazing! Subscribed!
America is the best producer of all time. From directing 911 to creating creating and killing bin laden, they’ve done it all. They deserve an award of the century.
IPwnageDesigns idiots like you think the USA directed everything. Why would the USA CREATE AND do 911 That’s a fking waist of money
@@imakevideos5377 lol, you think they lost money. They made money and were able to invade Iraq's oil which made them billions.
@@imakevideos5377 USA had a plan laid out to bomb their own naval ships and then put the blame on Colombia , so that they can a excuse to invade it . but was refused by John f kennedy and this is legit because the files were released by the states and we also know what happend to John f kennedy but yet the killer has not been found , !!!!! this world ain't that simple man
You can read the book by yourself-
Me:ah crap its audible isnt it
With audible
Me:called it
I imagine children used to the daily horrors of war looking at this thing and thinking the CIA is stupid.
It’s always a good day when kento bento uploads a new video
Yo, America smart yo 😭
Woah that is insane. Very clever but also kinda evil
love your videos! please upload more videos like this :)
Oh heck nah, it’s 1 am right now and I’m watching creepy and disturbing videos on my phone in my room in total darkness, when I just heard some tapping coming from near my air vent and window. I turned on my flashlight, confirmed that I was indeed hearing things near there but couldn’t pinpoint the cause immediately. It was a plastic wrapper hitting a part of my desk by my fan. I am terrified now. Somebody help me.
Imagine Afghans tracing the dolls back to the U.S. That could further spark violent action against America when citizens find propaganda from The United States.
Nice cat
It's not going to spark any more violence then what is already occurring. Are you really going to get more angry finding a US demon toy when there are US tanks rolling outside your door? Besides, AQ has little interest in committing further terrorist actions against the US, which could cause the US to increase its now reduced presence in Afghanistan.
Seriously man, you make amazing content, but it's annoying waiting weeks or even over a month at a time for new videos!
Well it's either that or shitty content me personally? I'll take long wait times
Young guru agreed
Dude you're shit is great this is the 3rd bid I watch after your heist vids which were great too. Subscribed!
I love the transition from the main story to your advertisement. Genius!!! 😎
Kento Bento, please look into the truth about 9/11.
What are you trying to say? The 9/11 was a hoax?
Upload more like if you agree
This is a great video. Thanks
Great info brother👍
Asia: **exist*
Keto Bento : "you can make -religion- content about this!"
The reference tho..
It's sad that my favourite channel is so clueless about what actually happened in 9/11
The way he transfers from his video to the promotion is insanely smooth
Hey kento I love your videos they are amasing keep up the great work I love the bank robbery one the most love your work!
"South Asia" when its only about Afghanistan and Pakistan.... stop the click bait.
Afghanistan and Pakistan are in South Asia not in middle East . They are in SAARC. So he is correct
@@tanzimurR oh no India is the only country in south Asia. Its common knowledge.
@@naifalbaihed1230 lmao no.
@@tanzimurR I think they ment that it was only 2 south asian countries
@@naifalbaihed1230 Someone failed their geography exam
Great video...really enjoyed it
when i saw 4 years earlier, i thought "hmm, 2001" and then i saw new york, and i was like "uh-oh..."
bro. i like how you tell stories on history... keep it up!
Dude this channel is soo underrated, this video is great
YESSS FINAALLLYYY YOU MADE A NEWWW VIDEEOOO!!!
CIA: Here at Langley there are no dumb ideas, just backup plans of steadily increasing desperation.
This is really well done, you sir are a gifted story teller
Just found your channel last night. Kept me up till six am watching your videos.
