Subscribe to Heretics Clips for fearless, evidence-led interviews that challenge the world’s most powerful institutions — and the stories they tell about themselves. In this explosive conversation, former UN investigator Peter A. Gallo lifts the lid on how UN systems, money flows and procurement loopholes can be co-opted on the ground — and why he believes that in Gaza, those weaknesses have enabled tunnel-building and militant infrastructure by design or neglect. 👉 Subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos

Gallo spent years inside the UN’s oversight machinery. Here, he explains how aid pipelines, contracting, and “plausible deniability” intersect with local pressure and political incentives — producing outcomes the public never hears about. Did UN agencies ignore red flags around materials diversion? Were internal audits softened to protect reputations and funding? And why are the people who raise concerns so often silenced, sidelined, or smeared?

Andrew pushes for specifics. Gallo details the mechanics: how dual-use goods can be routed; how sub-grants and implementing partners complicate accountability; how language is laundered in reports to obscure risk; and how an “industry of conflict” keeps budgets flowing while facts are contested on the ground. He also contrasts on-paper “zero tolerance” policies with the real incentives that reward compliance, not truth.

Inside the episode you’ll hear:

The procurement and oversight gaps that, Gallo argues, made tunnel-support possible.

Why whistleblowers face retaliation, career blacklisting, and legal threats.

How metrics and PR replace measurable results — and bury uncomfortable findings.

What verifiable reforms (external audits, transparent case tracking, protected channels) would look like.

Is the UN incapable of policing itself in high-risk theatres? Have humanitarian brands become shields for impunity? Gallo’s testimony offers a rare, granular map of how good intentions can be captured by politics, and why accountability — not slogans — is the only path back to credibility.
