Summary

Pulse: The Untold Story, an Audible Original from journalist Trevor Aaronson and Western Sound, investigates the Pulse nightclub shooting and raises startling questions about the FBI’s culpability.

In a gay nightclub in Orlando on June 12, 2016, the shooter, Omar Mateen, murdered 49 people and wounded 53 others. The attack was the deadliest act of violence against the LGBTQ+ community in US history and the deadliest terrorist attack in the United States since 9/11.

But there’s a story you haven’t heard. The FBI had a secret history with the shooter and his father. To obscure that history, the FBI pushed a false story that the media dutifully carried—that the attacker was a secretly gay Islamist extremist who had chosen to target Pulse and planned the attack for weeks.

Through a relentless and thorough investigation, Aaronson uncovers the volatile relationship between the shooter and his father and how their troubled interactions with the FBI lead to a disturbing final question: Could the FBI have prevented the massacre?

Pulse: The Untold Story is a documentary like no other. It will leave you wondering if anything you’ve heard about this case is true.

Warning: This program contains descriptions of violence and death and includes recordings from 911 calls and police body cameras from the night of the shooting. Listener discretion is advised.

Pulse

Unbelievable. Because he died nobody is held accountable. All those people dead because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Great 👍

Omar Mateen (and his dad) was an FBI agent gone rogue — he was NOT gay and he did NOT target Pulse for being LGBTQ+ 🏳️‍🌈 — there are also some incredible videos on You Tube debunking much of the hoax from that night!!!

Truth is important

Listening to this podcast is a rich basis for the real truth behind the cover-ups that don't hold any water. I am glad that the truth is important, especially in our age.

A Revealing and Disturbing Investigation of the Pulse Tragedy

Pulse: The Untold Story is an eye-opening and thought-provoking listen that challenges everything we thought we knew about the horrific 2016 Pulse nightclub attack. Trevor Aaronson’s investigative skills are on full display as he uncovers a shocking web of hidden relationships between the shooter, his father, and the FBI. Aaronson’s relentless pursuit of the truth leaves listeners with an unsettling question: could the FBI have prevented the massacre?

Aaronson’s narration is measured and impactful, making the heavy subject matter easier to digest while maintaining the intensity and gravity of the situation. The documentary dives deep into disturbing aspects of FBI operations, keeping you hooked from start to finish. Although some parts are densely packed with investigative details, Aaronson manages to balance these with personal stories and revelations that make the content more accessible.

This Audible Original is not just a documentary but a deeply revealing exposé that will leave you questioning the narratives presented in the aftermath of the attack. Highly recommended for fans of true crime and those seeking to understand the complexities behind tragic events.

Note: The programme contains vivid descriptions of violence, including 911 calls and police body camera recordings from the night of the shooting, which may be distressing for some listeners.
