🤔 Why did China crack the whip on population growth? Was it because of a hatred of the family? Or was there a political agenda?China’s one-child policy is not entirely a myth, but it’s not entirely what we’ve been told, either.It’s a lot more nuanced.More grey, and less black and white.Basically, yes, there was a one-child policy, but, no, it wasn’t because the Chinese government hated its people and wanted to kill babies and control the population growth.The more accurate story is that Western interests, like Henry Kissinger, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Club of Rome, invaded China with Malthusian ideology and threw all sorts of threats at the Chinese government if it didn’t slow down its population growth.Why?Well, because the US government saw that the Chinese economy was beginning to blossom and, with a massive population, feared it would become the world’s most powerful country within a few decades.In other words, back in the ’70s, China’s economy was fragile and beholden to Western economies like America, and couldn’t afford trade and other economic restrictions.📺 Watch video episode

Operation Gladio is the largest covert operation in history
🕰️ This episode was recorded in 2024.You probably haven’t heard of Operation Gladio, and that’s by design because, well, it’s covert. Not just a covert operation, but one of the largest ever.Possibly even the largest.Basically, the CIA was so desperate to stop communism spreading that it teamed up with everyone from ‘right-wing’terrorists to the Vatican to the Italian Mafia.Paul Williams has written a bunch of fascinating books, one of them being Operation Gladio: The Unholy Alliance between the Vatican, the CIA, and the Mafia.📺 Watch video episode

HIV/AIDS does not exist and here's why
🕰️ This episode was recorded in 2021.David Rasnick, PhD, is a scientist with over two decades of pharmaceutical experience, renowned for his work on the aneuploidy theory of cancer, protease inhibitors, and his role on South Africa’s Presidential AIDS Advisory Panel.In other words, he knows a lot about cancer and AIDS.David wrote a fantastic commentary on the death of science, called The Tyranny of Dogma, in which he argues that institutional despotism suppresses dissent and perpetuates junk science through a systemic corruption of professional and governmental institutions.David arrived in South Africa in the 1990s to advise the then-president, Thabo Mbeki, who was recalled after he publicly (and correctly) questioned the link between HIV and AIDS, wondering why it primarily affected Black people.Interestingly, his 2001 Presidential Aids Advisory Panel Report highlights the unreliability of PCR tests, and, over two decades later, I have realised that he was right all along and everyone—including me—incorrectly dismissed him back then.📺 Watch video episode

Trump, Musk, and the digital control grid
Donald Trump is ushering in a digital control grid with help from the world’s most popular technocrat, Elon Musk. Proceed with caution.Here’s the thing:I like both Trump and Elon—the former’s definitely winning culture wars, the latter’s making Twitter great again.But that’s precisely why the theatre’s so dangerous. The stage actors have been swapped for better, more likeable and believable ones, yet the same directors remain backstage directing.Catherine Austin Fitts is an investment banker who served as the United States Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for Housing under President George HW Bush.📺 Watch video episode

A Brooklyn gangster who played table tennis in North Korea
From Brooklyn gangs to competing in North Korea, table tennis saved Wally Geen's life and turned him into a messenger of peace.Nobody in the West really cares about table tennis, which is why Wally Green isn’t a household name.I mention the West because, as we all know, Asians not only love the sport but are masters of it. The Chinese, for example, are on another level entirely. Have you seen them play? It's incredible.Anyway, back to Wally.His story is not about winning competitions, but about winning at life.To be clear, Wally represented the United States in over 35 International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) pro tours around the world, but he has never won a major competition. However, what makes his journey inspirational is how he overcame an abusive father, gangs, and hiding guns, to direct his anger towards competitive sports and create hilarious memories around the world.After all, how often do Black people play table tennis in North Korea? 😂📺 Watch video episode
