  • Think critically with this one.

    Very clearly very spooky. The Crownaq review is correct imo. Just complete Langley garbage!

  • Unhindered insight

    These guys are great. Their YouTube channel is really what you probably want though. Seeing on the screen what they’re discussing is required to fully understand what they’re discussing but I appreciate the audio version being available for people who don’t have time to watch. These guys are doing excellent reporting and they are definitely worth checking out if you’ve ever been worried about China.

  • Eye-opening and shocking

    Shocking revelations about China’s crappy, new infrastructure, sneaky thieving of IP and ongoing abuse of their own and other nation’s people. I had no idea. However the disturbing videos of the Three Gorges Dam swaying sickeningly that I’ve seen make sense. It was built too quickly with poor materials. You guys have opened my eyes. Thank you.
