A+++! Saved!

Where do you find the time to do all this fine work? Obviously I'm biased, but I love this kinda content.

A perfect primer with nice images and contextual overview for normie sheeple!!! It would be easy to get into the weeds with this one, from the Barry Seal angle to the money laundering in Mena, to the Iranians and the Contras and Reagan and Ollie, to the distraction of Miami Vice to the sudden rise of (money laundering) Arkansas corporations into titans like Walmart, etc. Not to mention the social engineering of gangster culture, the prison industrial complex, and of course Wall St where it goes up their noses like a Christmas blizzard.

I take it you've seen the Kill The Messenger movie about him that actually gets it right? A rarity in Hollywood.

Meanwhile US troops guard opium poppy fields in Afghanistan and try to blame Venezuela for cocaine.

Thanks Jason, this one was interesting to pull together. Trying to keep things as objective as possible.

I take it you've seen the Kill The Messenger movie about him that actually gets it right? A rarity in Hollywood.

That movie was the reason I started looking into the story. Rates as one of my favourite "based on a true story" movies everrr.

Where do you find the time to do all this fine work?

I've been making videos on my SKB channel since 2016 and all my stuff goes there. But a week or so back I started a new channel called Based on a True Story which is where I will be posting only videos relating to documentary movies and series, and movies and TV that are based on true stories. I'm also posting my own mini documentaries too. So I'm now populating the new channel with some of my older vids to give it a good foundation. Thought I would share with my SaidIt homies while I was at it!

Also, I was laid off a few weeks ago due to the 'Rona so I got time on my hands!

Most "based on" or even if they don't claim that are bunk. Fargo mocked that by saying "based on" but it was all fiction.

Hollywood is like weekly church telling you to believe in the higher authorities. Those cops or CIA may be clowns but no one is allowed to question their authority. Also justice is always true and fair and conspiracies only happen in movies.

I'm a fan of those history channels that cut apart movie inaccuracies. History Buffs is one and the Cynical Historian or something like that is also excellent. There are so many. There is a market for it. I go through phases.

Nice move, expanding and focusing. What I love most about your work is that it's top notch professional content without wasting a second, condensed into easily digestible bites. A lot of YouTube pads out their content to be over 10 minutes to get paid or something. I wouldn't mind if it was all high quality. For today's audience, short and sweet is better, IMO. Quality over quantity. If they want more they can look it up. My Trutherism 101 project will be complementary to my Bittersweet Seeds project, after getting it out there, and it will be short and sweet too - like memes but longer, with more context and explanation that you won't get in MSM - plus it will be animated and as funny as I can make it while being edutainment. As a series it will also have an overarching narrative arc too. And of course as a professional animator I aim to produce only the highest quality content I can. It may be years or decades before either of them are ready. I need a studio and a producer to keep me focused though.

Also being neutral is great too. It shrinks the target for people who want to Kill The Messenger.

Also also, FYI, I kept re-editing my Buddha comment to be clearer.

I feel weird when I don't make stuff!

Do you have links to your projects?

Do you listen to the No Agenda podcast? I think, based on our conversations, that you would really enjoy it. Its posted twice a week and the hosts pull apart all the bullshit on the MSM. There is also a very active associated community on a Mastodon instance.
