  1. By the end of this video, I realized how powerful the lesson was. You are completely on point about how the political-military machine that enabled illegal wars (Mexican-American, Spanish-American, Philippine-American Wars + Cuban Cold War) is still present and a hair-triggers pull away. And the Bush Administration and the 2003 Iraq War was a perfect example to end with. Truly masterful historical storytelling.

  2. Well, to be fair, the CIA got nerfed after the fall of the Soviet Union. But you are absolutely right about the FBI. The NSA, too. Post 9/11, the FBI and the NSA became absurdly more powerful.

  3. It would have also been great to include a section for US-Vietnamese relations as Vietnam is also a crucial First Island Chain ally. Militarily, the two are finally doing what they should have done in the last century.... being allies & jointly containing China.

  5. To avoid an overly-skeptic public that loses trust in government institutions, transparency is key. The FBI and CIA should have been transparent about information they had relating to Oswald and the assassination. Maybe then, so many Americans wouldn't have rejected their government and embraced conspiracy theories.

  6. Honest, transparent, credible journalism. This level of trustworthy reporting is too rare.

  7. I don't have anything to add other than what I already stated on this matter of humanity. But seeing these comments of people who can confirm this video through their own experiences in Qatar is surreal. Thank you, (Lord) Johnny Harris and team. Thank you, everyone, that watched and commented.

  9. This was surprisingly one of Johnny Harris's most entertaining videos.
    47
  10. Johnny always interesting deep dives on topics like this, especially about the US Government. The team's journalism is independent, so they can only cover on topic every 2 weeks. If they haven't reported on something it's because they haven't gotten to it yet.

  12. Thanks for the timely, relevant, and most importantly unbiased/neutral independent journalism. 90% of the news media that reports on Israel/Palestine has a special interest in the conflict, or try to sugarcoat facts so as not to provoke backlash. I hope Johnny and his team keep going strong and honest.

  13. Same for us Tigrayans. Sudan took in several Tigrayan refugees fleeing genocide when nobody else would. I am praying for the Sudanese people and especially for the people who just wanted less violence & less poverty.

  19. My favorite part of this series has been how you have asked and tried to answer very deep questions about the history of colonization and the way we modern humans living in the 21st century see it. Many people think the way the world is now was always meant to be and so the future is also meant to be in a certain way. This perspective is very tunnel-visioned. If just a few things were different, everything would be different in our modern day. So a few, well-position changes done today can make the future unrecognizable from the current trajectory of today, as well. Kudos, Johnny Harris.

  20. Nationwide, Puerto Rican veterans represent 6.8% of Puerto Rico's total population. Moreover, including reserve & active duty personnel, about 20% to 29% of all Puerto Ricans have served or are serving in the US Armed Forces. Freeloaders? More like veterans & servicemen.

  26. Hi, Tigrayan here. The difference is that the drones used in the Tigray War by the National Military were conventional warfare drones bought from Middle Eastern countries. Those drones were primarily used for recon and to bomb civilian population centers with impunity since the Tigray Defense Force was only an army, and were based in the mountains. In Ukraine, yes there are conventional warfare drones, but this video is about the jerryrigging of cheap commercial drones for warfare that is unique to the Ukraine War.

  34. I see pirate groups the same way I see governments around the world. Some are corrupt, exploitative, and belligerent; others are disciplined, accountable, and reasonable. Either way, none are a monolith. The only major difference between the two is the political spectrum of order to anarchy.

  36. This video is about Coups; but it is also a deep, somber introspective into the human and democratic loss as a consequence of geopolitics. Since history is easier to detach from, this realization became even more impactful when we got to the more recent coups -- especially regarding the effects of US support for the mujahideen back in the 80s.

  37. I like how Johnny made this important, unbiased, nuanced video over a year ago -- and the US Government is only now looking at this objectively. (Well, semi-objectivity due to the inter-agency disputes.)

But of course, YouTube took down the video for being too educational. He might try to release it again but watered down to pass the guidelines. I'm sure the original video is on the Wendover channel of Nebula, tho.

  50. LOL. True (both Norway & Canada, too). But there is some truth to this. In fact, right now the World Cup is being hosted by Qatar, and the labor conditions, human rights abuses, and treatment of migrants are.... appalling to say the least. But nations of Europe who are deeply craving energy from non-Russia alternatives are looking the other way because they don't want to get on Qatar's side. It's slightly more complicated than this oversimplification, but that is the TLDR of it.

  56. "Danish colonial bit"? Do you mean reporting history accurately? Do yourself a favor and actually interact with some of the people north of Nuuk. People that actually value their Greenlandic roots. Amongst minority groups, we have a term for your line of thinking. It's called being whitewashed.

  57. Thank you for making this powerful video on this under-addressed history. Many people shy away from modern Balkan conflicts and modern conflicts in general fearing not upset the algorithm. But addressing human rights abuses and complex, nuanced, brutal wars (that just happened within the last 30 years) is incredibly important for anyone concerned with peace and universal rights. Also, I would very much appreciate a second part to this video on the Kosovo War & the subsequent NATO Intervention. It was a conflict just as brutal as the other Balkan Wars stemming directly from the collapse of Yugoslavia & The War in Bosnia. Plus, it highlights how the international community's, or at least NATO's, attitude changed throughout the 90s because of the Balkan Wars.

  79.  @pliktl  You're speaking as if every media outlet is credible and uninfluenced. Which isn't true. Independent Journalism is hard work with no lifeline to cover stories that state-run and private-interest media houses wouldn't or just couldn't. I mean, for example, in this video Johnny couldn't even get a sponsor for being "political" (he's literally a journalist smh) but still released the video anyway.

  129. The most consequential factor of colonization wasn't expanding empires, or technologically savvy seafarers, or even centralizing monarchies. It was capital-incentivized corporations. Examples: - The Dutch West India Company - The Dutch East India Company (they started the corporate exploitation wave) - The British East India Company - The French East India Company - The Portuguese East India Company - The Swedish East India Company (okay this one really surprised me) - Danish Asiatic Company - Spanish Colony - Royal Company of the Philippines - The African Company of Merchants - Royal Niger Company - The British South Africa Company - The British Levant Company - Company of One Hundred Associates - The Plymouth Company - Hudson's Bay Company (Hudson explored the river despite the Dutch controlling it) - The Virginia Company (responsible for Jamestown Colony) - The Moscovy Company - The Russian American Company

  168. Update: Eritrea has taken a clear side. Isayas is now also supporting the RSF. After all, the North Korea of Africa is obviously cash-strapped. During Hemedti's visit to Asmara, the RSF and Isayas forged bilateral economic relations and paramilitary alliances (Isayas has a slave army; under-equipped, untrained not effective but they are used as "fodder"). In the past weeks, reports from Reuters & The Guardian state that Eritrea is also forcing the Sudanese refugees back into the war-torn country. Isayas wouldn't want to be seen by his new sugar daddy helping those that are "fleeing the RSF's government".

  170. @AzureWolf Exactly my point. There is a difference between rich men and oligarchs leading a country (Russia). And anyone being able to gain power and then gain riches (US). Russia is a strong man plutocracy. The US is a representative oligarchy. But the main difference is that the people can change US Congress by voting, but in Russia, you need a coup or a revolution.

  173.  @xunqianbaidu6917  Incorrect on both counts, bans from trading are much harder than instituting a term limit. And neither would cause corruption; that's backwards.
    2
  174. Hey, Johnny and Team. Great video! Congressional insider trading is one of the worst erosions that's corrupting our democracy in our time. Lawmakers are essentially mocking and exploiting the fact that America functions as an indirect republic rather than a direct democracy. To makes matters even more complicated, there is so much ambiguity and nuance to the matter and no clear solutions that can realistically be implemented. (This is the first time I have ever been truly stumped when it comes to building a healthy democracy. I have neither possible nor plausible answers..... Vote, I guess...)

  180. Thank you for teaching us about all the different shades of Julian Assange and his war on secrets. EDIT: Okay... wow. Now I understand the danger in the indictments against Assange. The whole publishing aspect of the counts he is charged with sets a very dangerous precedent against not only whistleblowing as an anonymous source but writing and publishing breaking news. This could very well endanger the validity of the First Amendment. Freedom of the Press is one of the most essential aspects of any "free" society -- if the federal government starts to oppress online publishing, how far are we away from the New York Times from being charged with the Espionage Act.

  189. The main reason people saw this theory as a conspiracy was because Trump, MAGA, Fox News, and Q-Anon hopped on it and turned it into Anti-Chinese hate speech. This had a drastic effect on the number of hate crimes that targeted (all) Asian people, especially in 2020 alone.

And in 2020, he started a 2 year long genocide against the Tigrayan ethnic group in northern Ethiopia. During the war, Eritrea invaded Tigray and helped Abiy's genocide. Fast forward to December 2023, Nobel Laureate Abiy Ahmed is mobilizing his army to invade Eritrea. The Nobel Peace Prize is a joke.

  217.  @haroldcruz8550  Not true. Up until nuclear weapons were installed, the US could have invaded and won (it would have been brutal and likely created terrorist insurgents). The major reason it didn't was because of how unpopular it would have been with the American people (JFK was elected as a populist so that mattered to him). The Bay of Pigs failure was attempted by the CIA, not the DoD.

  219. ​@@A_R_B_G It's cute that you think the American Left has any real political power. The polarization is between Right-Wing Liberals+Moderates and the Far-Right Conservatives+Ultra-conservatives. You might assume Bernie is a "commie" but he really is more of a Centrist in Right-wing dominated politics. America's Left either vote for Independents, or for Democrats, or just don't vote at all.

  222. The US is still on top but the geopolitical reality is that we are in a multi-polar world. Washington has already recognized that in their publicly disclosed strategic positioning. Hell, we are even in a new Space Race! The only difference is that, now, it is the Western-led Democratic Capitalism vs China's Authoritarian Capitalism. Regarding BRICS, Tehran and the Kremlin are just junior partners to Beijing. South Africa is a failing nation that is desperate for any sort of lifeline. Africa and S America are closer to China than the US. Brazil has powerful potential and China is stepping up for economic partnership. India is similar but hates China, but is friendly with Russia. (Just ignore the laughable shared currency tho) All in all, that's definitely the making of a Cold War.

  224. Good Luck to you. My brother is also in a similar position. He graduated during the height of the pandemic. Although he does have a job, it barely has anything to do with his degree. I realize that he is more fortunate than most other people like you, but it really is problematic.

  225. As far as I am concerned, Jack Ruby is an American Hero. I know that Oswald should have been brought to a court of law that could have revealed the full truth. But I don't blame Ruby one bit for getting caught up in the heat of passion. Most Americans in Dallas that day were devastated, and not all of them were exceptionally patriotic. Many of them were glad that the President's killer had gotten shot.

For those that don't know, 5 hour ago, Johnny & team released the video "Is Israel Committing Genocide?" (most likely about the SA v Israel case at the Hague). But now YouTube deleted. The same thing happened to Wendover Production's brilliant video on how Israel turned Gaza into an open air concentration camp. These are evidence of YouTube censoring any reporting on Israeli war crime. HISTORY MUST NEVER BE CENSORED.

  231. The pandemic exasperated the constant need for the US Government to resuscitate the economy by artificially stimulating it. This was a slippery slope that inflation could thrive upon. So the people and the global economy need to buckle up and take a hit because the Fed will need to tighten up financials. Otherwise, inflation could really start damaging the value of the Dollar, leading to an even worse geo-economic reality.

  247. I agree. I have faith in most of Europe that their support against Russian aggression won't falter. However, I also have a dark faith (hoping that I am wrong) that Putin will keep escalating until all he is left with is either leaving office or launching tactical WMDs. Although, it should be noted that I think Putin is much more likely to use chemical weapons, biological weapons, or a dirty bomb before he uses tactical nuclear weapons.

The facts highlight that UFOs/UAPs do exist and that we do not know much more about them. Whether these are alien or acts of China, Russia, or an ally, it is imperative that we look at these through objective, measurable lenses. Plus: OH SHIT! HE CUT HIS HAIR!

  261. As of November 9th, a full month since the war began, the casualties are as follows. In Gaza: 1-2 million Gazans displaced. The Palestinian death toll has now surpassed 10,000 civilians dead. 25-30,000 more injured. 200,000 houses were destroyed. Hostages still unaccounted for. In Israel: A quarter of a million people are displaced. 1,500 Israeli civilians died. 5,400 more injured. 33 dead IDF soldiers (ground invasion). In the West Bank: 1,400 Palestinian civilians dead. 2,200 more injured. Civil unrest and ethno-religious tensions are at a fever pitch.

Lots of people died or got tortured because of his indiscriminate whistleblowing. (Whistleblowing should always be done responsibly.) Then he fled to Russia and now has Russian citizenship. He is no Chelsea Manning. Manning is a hero + she served her time and is now free. Meanwhile, Snowden is in Moscow.

  269. Because the CIA and FBI have changed over the years. That was, until 9/11. But either way, neither are the menaces they once used to be. That's the NSA. The NSA is currently the most powerful intelligence agency.

  270. Honestly, the "Deep State" is a lot more boring than fiction thrillers and conspiracy theorist would like people to believe. It's basically Intelligence networking amongst those in power that collectively and "conveniently" work for their own individual ambitions, even if it means going against the country's interest. So, in reality, it is a lot more private phone calls, exclusive house parties, and secretive retreats; instead of illuminati-esque cabals, figurehead presidents, and evil shadow organizations.

  271. My biggest criticism of Joe Rogan is that he does not fact-check any of his guests. He knows that millions of people will be influenced by the words of his guests.

This particular series and episode really plasters this opinion into a fact due to how innovative, truthful, and personal the video turned out. As more and more videos come out, I have continued to acknowledge Johnny's dedication more and more as he grows into a holy grail of relevant journalism. But, now I get the pleasure of also enjoying this new cinematic angle of educational documentaries with strong narratives. All in all, keep up the great work and I really would like to see more of this cinematic direction. #uncharted

  317. It wasn't a civil war, that's Abiy's populist myth. It was an interstate war in which the central government, regional militia, Abiy loyalist forces, Somali fighters, and foreign proxies finances all waged a cruel war against the people of Tigray, the Tigrayan Defense force, and Tigray's main government party, the TPLF. But you are correct. It is the deadliest war of the 21st century. Mainly due to the state-sanctioned Tigray Genocide, the humanitarian blockade, and weaponized hunger.

  318. Can y'all please shut up about Crimea being in red? At best, it was a shading mistake. At worst, a de facto map rather than de jure. Get over it and get over all these conspiracies.

  323. Honestly, it is terrifying how easy it is for America's well-oiled machine to orchestrate a coup d'état. Although, what would be more impressive is if the US starts using its other tools more, instead -- such as supporting democracies like Ukraini.
    1
  324. Since we are talking about US-led coups, I just want to state: Theodore Roosevelt is the imperial mastermind of the American Empire. And his cute nickname, "The Teddy Bear", does not do reality justice. Time and time again, his influence can be found in most suspicious things the US did abroad. In this manner, he is like the Napoleon of the Americas.

  339. And now with the Ukrainian-Russo War, China might bet that the U.S. is too preoccupied with NATO commitments. The government and military could see this as a vulnerable opening to catch the U.S. on the heels. Where would that put the pacific allies and bases like Guam, Okinawa, mainland Japan, South Korea, & Australia (even Philipines maybe)? EDIT/UPDATE: China has NOT taken advantage of that "opportunity". Probably because they are surprised by NATO's rejuvenated unity & US's commitment to focus on two opposite sides of Eurasia at the same. CCP might also be waiting for an even more "opportune" timing.

  341. Economical warfare is attritional. The truth is that there is no other option but to keep playing wackamole aggressively until this war is over. There is so no other solution than that. But what needs to be kept in mind is that efficiency is lost in shadow market. That is entire point of sanctions: to make it difficult to get quality technology, degrading Russia's capabilities. So, as long as West starts supplying Ukraine seriously and in a timely manner, the technological superiority is in Ukraine net-favor. That is the costly nature of attrition. Also, it is misleading to state "US Companies are giving Russia semiconductors through middlemen". In reality, the game of wackamole occurs because western companies are unaware. What happens is a certain company in a country outside of the sanctions will order consumer appliances at a large-scale. After that purchase is made, said company will try to circumnavigate sanctions without getting caught to give Russia the consumer products. The Russian "companies" tear apart the appliance to salvage consumer-grade semiconductors. Which is why Russian weapons are so dumb. Russia's only saving grace is "might through numbers".

  342. While I am not sure, I wouldn't be surprised one bit. The FBI colluded with plain-clothed Chicago police officers to assassinate Fred Hampton in his own home. The FBI, at best, covered up key information during the JFK assassination investigation -- and at worst, they themselves (possibly) took part in the assassination. Under J Edgar Hoover, the Bureau was essentially a legalized, national criminal organization. There is also the horrors the FBI inflicted on Puerto Ricans. And don't even get me started with the War on Drugs and the Red Scare.

  348. It's so fucking ironic and depressing how most environmental groups love to dunk on nuclear energy without doing any credible research. The worst part is that this toxic behavior indirectly helps fossil fuel producers safeguard their monopoly of the energy market. (Like Greenpeace in this video.) The quote, "It be your own people" comes to mind.

  354. I don't care what was in those emails. Assange purposely meddled with the democratic process of the 2016 Elections. He might be a hero of transparency and I commend his leaks on the War in Iraq, but he is also an enemy of the free world. I don't care if he didn't know that those emails came from the Russians, he sabotaged the campaign that WOULD HAVE ELECTED THE FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT OF THE US. Ultimately, because of his hate for Clinton, he (de-facto) paved the way for the Trump presidency -- the epitome of everything he stands against. Was there any other president as secretive as Donald Trump? He literally made a secret (leaked) call to coerce Ukraine into doing the same thing Russia did in 2016 for the 2020 elections. He is an ironic hypocrite and enemy of feminism, democracy, and progress.

  357. This is why I have so much respect for the Progressive Caucus and so much disdain with out-of-touch liberal Democrats + the party of Big Business, the GOP. Fixing what Reagan broke is my generation's lifelong fight (along w climate change & judicial reform). The first 4 years of the Biden Administration was just a start. As the Progressives' share of the Democratic Party (and by extension, Congress) increases, we can finally rebuild the American middle class, and put a muzzle corporate greed.

  393. Geopolitics is deceptively atrocious. Even worse, the state don't really support the Palestinian People, they support the Palestinian groups that are unpopular with the Palestinian people. Iran and Turkey (and Yemen) support the terror group Hamas; Egypt, Saudi Arabia and other GCC support the corrupt Fatah that refuses to resist Israel attacks. And the same time most of these countries work with Israel. Geopolitics is clusterf*ck of motives with the disenfranchised people being the butt of the joke.

  400. I have been thinking about this question since I learned about the causes of the Great Depression & the 2008 Financial Crisis. "Should we allow Banks to fail or should the government have to always save them?" I have always wanted to say we should let banks fail; they need to learn how to survive wisely in a free market, and our societies need to learn to react to these situations better/less panic. However, the truth is I have realized that this is all much more (annoyingly) complex since societies aren't easily changed and capitalist governments should be responsible for protecting consumers.

A victory 2024 AND 2028 will put a nail in the coffin of grifter populism.

  430. I will say one thing; Creepy Columbus's 'magnet and light' mystery is tantalizing... but it would have probably been easily explained if he had numerous amounts of empirical data. All in all, the conclusion I, myself, have settled on, long before even watching this video, is that The Bermuda Triangle is actually relatively safe waters (aside from all the superheated storms of the tropics). And all the mysterious, mythical theorizing is just blown out of proportion, and most of them occurred during the 40s, 50s, & 60s -- the heyday of science fiction and paranoia.
