Who Is Mr K? Why Does The FIB & IAA Want Him So Badly? Real Life Story That Inspired Him- GTA 5 Lore

[@morningstar9873]

Another factor that could prove that Mr K’s story is based on Kurnaz is that at 34:36 the article mentions CIA liaison identified as “Steve H”. Sounds familiar?

As someone already replied, the man is already labeled as an enemy of the state, whether he is declared dead or still living. Another thing to keep in mind is that his family probably got deported too, if not detained, for being with a "known" terrorist, and would be labeled as being complicit in terrorism or terrorists themselves.

It depends on each individual how his world will be, how he makes it. And you also need a whole lot of luck, so that somebody else doesn't make your life hell. And it ain't as simple as they tell you in grade school. But it is good to have strong values and to maintain them. In marriage, in crime, in war, always and everywhere

In my opinion I found the fact that his death was quick to be fulfilling.

Am I the only one who is wondering how the hell Mr. K is supposed to get on a plane in his current state? Presumably, he has no money or identification on him, so he can neither purchase a ticket or pass a security check. Even if he does have his wallet on him, any check on his ID (and he is very likely to be profiled as a person of West Asian descent) would end up pulling up a person that has been declared dead. On top of that, he isn't even wearing a shirt and is clearly in need of medical attention. The GTA version of TSA isn't letting him anywhere near an airport gate and he'd just end up in police custody or the hospital, so Trevor should have really thought of some other way of getting Mr. K out of the country if that was his goal.

Kurnaz's situation was like going to an Italian restaurant and getting arrested for racketeering, but way way worse. Heartbreaking story

GTA players: **Will rob innocents, shoot innocents, run over innocents, beat innocents to death, blow innocents up with a variety of weapons, three times a minute without even thinking.** Also GTA players: "Poor Mr. K."

[@DC4260Productions]

I always hated the scenes with Steve and Trevor torturing Mr. K because of how uncomfortable they made me feel. That's the worst part of an otherwise excellent game.

[@dicloniusgames]

These lore videos are dope. How you find and extract so much info from these games is awesome. I hope we get some Red Dead Redemption (the first game) lore videos as you're playing the PS4 edition.

[@l-brolow1473]

No disrespect Pro, but I'd rather see more of your lore videos than GTA Online videos. It's honestly not my cup of tea and I don't fine it entertaining to watch. Again no disrespect, I absolutely enjoy watching your lore videos in general. You're awesome man.

I agree with you.

You know Pro, you should do more videos about events like this that are not current but older. Would be very interresting and educational and I just love to see you talk about this stuff and I learned about law from a country Im not even from

That torture mission was so brutal,if this mission was to come out in 2023 it would’ve gotten Alotta backlash

[@Luiszoom21593]

It got backlash in 2013 what do you mean lol. It almost got banned for that mission.

[@Berserkerenergy]

The Lore Videos are The Best💯 Great Lore Video Pro 👍👍👍

[@commanderproton7763]

6:36 Maybe you can clear this up, but I've heard that some mission strand in Online says or implies that the IAA weren't the ones making the Nerve agent. Not sure, but I think it's because in Online you raid the building Monkey Business takes place in and its shown the IAA aren't in control of the place. The fact this whole nerve agent isn't made a bigger deal and the FIB are breathing down on Haines for what he did, would seem to suggest to me that maybe he wasn't correct on the IAA being behind the whole mess. And considering the beginning of the mission pointed out how he gets things wrong. Maybe that would be an interesting thing to research into, as I hear this is something people will debate.

[@Gibbypastrami]

Could just be that the coverup is successful by the time those missions take place

[@glitchy6449]

I haven't slept in 24 hours but yeah I've got time to see an hour and a half video abt GTA lore

[@thetragicpope]

You should really play L.A. Noire. The story in that game is eerily similar to what is going on in Maui right now.

[@Rares_G4H]

This lore video reminded me I watch a content creator who studied law enforcement. You would have made a great policeman or FBI agent from the way you analyzed and spoke about Kurnaz.

[@the_other_jackal]

I had no idea Mr K’s story went so deep, I consider myself a bit of a military history buff but the most recent conflicts have evaded my interest after I read about Abu Ghraib. Damn, Rockstar really went all out for the references

[@DeeeJay07]

Thanks again for these lore videos Pro. You are amazing!

[@dan18503]

Finally, i've always wanted to understand the story of Mr. K. I've always felt so bad for him that i always make sure to kill the azerbaijaina guy much earlier so that Trevor wouldn't torture him too much

[@ThePrivateGamer19]

Man, I love your lore videos. You re one of the few youtubers who really put alot of work in their clips and I trully apreciate that!

[@MattJames2211]

the fact the real life CIA liaison is called Steve H too

[@melanora]

I respect the devs for that 😭 wish it wasn't based on real life events, (that story was messed up) but I'm glad it's shedding light on that particular case, even if it's subtle (edit:typo)

[@AliMuhammad-vo3cz]

You are one of the best youtubers I have ever heard instead of being Islomphobic, and stating wrong facts you decided to research the facts, and you really did reach the right facts I myself am a strong follower of JT tablighi jammat and have spent 4 months in the pillgrimage in Pakistan, my home country. And JT is very clear of its teachings and and you can find them spreadout all over youtube. And if anyone has any question they can personally ask me down bellow

Mr K, a foreigner with no shoes or shirt and bleeding, didn’t get too far into the airport…he never went anywhere

[@dallas2vabeach]

Considering how corrupt and incompetent both IAA and FIB were, I believe Tahir was innocent as well 🤣🤣

[@NotoriousJohnsonBig]

I feel bad for Mr K he didn't deserve getting tortured by trevor but thank you pro for the lore.

[@VoltitanDev]

If this was a perfect world the dogs who tortured Kurnaz should be facing the death penalties or life sentence that level of torture is just disgusting.

[@Archim.]

Always hated the Torture mission, but I never knew that it was inspired by this. Hearing this story as a Muslim was genuinely Painful. The Torture that a fellow Muslim Brother went through despite only seeking to strengthen his believe is just saddening. Im glad we Muslims are conpensated in the Afterlife for every suffering we have in this life. May Allah bless Kurnaz.

Great job with the video Professional. Love your lore videos and how much effort you put in these videos. Keep it up!

[@Zeus-715]

This just made me more confident Trevor isn't a complete psycho. He actually helps people and feels bad for them, he just has horrible mental issues and gets violent when aggravated. If he actually got mental help, he would most likely be an amazing guy. Because he is a good guy, but his mental issues and upbringing causes him to do fucked up shit when angered. I strongly follow the idea that Trevor's honor level is Neutral.

[@rochipum]

Dont get too carried away; trevor has no problem bringing innocent people to the altruist cult for money while perfectly calm and is canonically a cannibal. Just because he has some redeeming qualities doesnt mean hes anywhere near neutral

[@Zeus-715]

@@rochipum Gameplay does not go with lore. Just because Trevor can take NPC's to altruist camp, does not mean he does in the game. Also like I said, he has horrible mental issues, which is probably why he does fucked shit like cannibalism. It does not excuse it, but it should be realized.

[@rochipum]

@@Zeus-715 Ok, but plenty of horrible, evil people have mental issues. It isnt a scapegoat you can blame in order to get more leeway, you need to be accountable for your actions. If you dont want to count optional gameplay choices, Trevor is still canonically a mass murdering cannibal rapist. Imagine if he was real, thats nowhere near "neutral" and him being mentally ill does not put actions that egregious into perspective at all.

[@Zeus-715]

@@rochipum did you not read what I said at all? I didn't say it was an excuse, I said it should still be mentioned, and considered. You literally just repeated what I said, and re worded it.

thank god we got a judge who actually can use her brain in the most proper sense of the word and can easily rule these tribunals out as illegal so yeah that restores my faith in the justice system knowing we have judges like her who can do her job and serve justice to the correct people not some innocent person like kurnaz or bilgin

[@pepijn23]

The whole story about Kurnaz is one off the many reasons why I personally dislike the US government in a way. I’m not into conspiracy theories, but I think it’s no wonder why there’s so many if you learn what the US or CIA has done in to fight terrorism or during the cold war. Not defending the terrorists either, but the US really needs to change their way off handling conflicts.

[@gloverfox9135]

@SquidimirLeninclesI don’t think Russians who invaded Finland, Afghanistan, Hungary, annexed the baltics illegally, invaded Czechoslovakia, Chechnya , Georgia and Ukraine now have a leg to stand on in this debate. Lemme guess, growing up as a Soviet citizen, did they also teach you that Ukraine is a fake country that doesn’t deserve independence and should forever remain directly annexed under Russia, along with all the other republics? Oh and another one, do they tell you the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact is just western propaganda? I highly doubt they even told you about how the Soviets invaded Poland with Germany and committed the Katyn massacre. You probably think that the Holodomor is just fake propaganda spurred up by the west.

Hi professional love the vids

[@snakefriesia6808]

well researched mr. P. You have made two good cases in this one video. I always had my doubts about what happened with mrK, and you have really showed how bad these actions by all associated are and the same goes about how the poor guy Kurnaz was treated by the US army and the US government, not forgetting about all the other innocent people interned at guantanmo bay, those all need recompense from the US Government
