    Discovered your channel yesterday and I'm loving it because I have a big interest in these kinds of stories but nothing in terms of relevant knowledge to understand a lot of other media about it. You do such a great job of breaking this down in a way in a simple enough way for me to understand, but keeping the ability to show how complex it all is. Great work!

Remember 9/11? They tried to say Sadamm Husain was behind it when in actuality he had nothing to do with it and then our govt. made up wild stories about how he had "weapons of mass destruction" when he really didn't so they could justify invading the middle east. Our govt is very corrupt unfortunately though so are all the others humans inevitably become corrupt when given that kind of power
