After nearly a decade of building content across interviews, politics, history, and culture… I’ve made the biggest YouTube decision of my career.

My original channel became what I call a ghost channel — not because of bad content, not because of politics, not because of algorithm punishment…

but because I changed, the content changed, and the platform no longer knew how to classify what we were doing.

So today, I’m sharing the full story of why we’re retiring the old Jeremy Ryan Slate YouTube channel and launching a brand new channel:

👉 Hidden Forces in History

https://youtube.com/@HiddenForcesInHistory

This new channel will be the permanent home for:

– History’s mysteries

– Elite power struggles

– Lost colonies

– Empires collapsing

– Conspiracies with receipts

– And the forces shaping our world through the past

We’re rebuilding everything from the ground up:

new edits, new B-roll, new graphics, new direction, and a renewed focus on quality.

If you’ve been with me since 2014 — thank you.

If you’re joining now — welcome to the next chapter.

Did King Edward II really die in the most brutal execution in medieval history…

or was his murder staged?

On September 21, 1327, the official story says Edward II was killed with a red-hot poker to eliminate him quietly.

But the evidence doesn’t line up:

⚠️ Nobody saw his face at the funeral

⚠️ His own brother believed he was alive three years later

⚠️ A secret letter from an Italian bishop claims Edward escaped

⚠️ Multiple nobles communicated with someone they believed was Edward

⚠️ And Edward III never investigated his father’s “murder”

So what actually happened that night at Berkeley Castle?

In this episode, we dive deep into one of England’s greatest historical conspiracies — a cover-up that benefited everyone in power and may still echo into modern politics. Because the Edward II playbook hasn’t disappeared… it’s evolved.

If the powerful can hide the death of a king, what else can they hide?

Did William Shakespeare really write the greatest plays in the English language… or have we been sold a 400-year-old lie?

For centuries, schools, universities, and institutions have defended the official story of a small-town actor with no higher education, no travel record, and barely any surviving documents — somehow becoming the most brilliant writer who ever lived.

But the deeper you look, the stranger it gets.

In today’s episode, we dive into the Shakespeare authorship conspiracy — exploring why so many historians now question whether Shakespeare was the real author… and who the true writer might have been.

We break down the three most compelling suspects:

🔥 Edward de Vere — aristocrat, scholar, multilingual traveler

🔥 Francis Bacon — philosopher, political insider, alleged code-writer

🔥 Christopher Marlowe — genius playwright whose death may have been faked

And the biggest question of all:

Why would the elite hide the identity of the real author — and what does this reveal about power, culture, and history itself?

👉 Team Oxford

👉 Team Marlowe
