Another great video guys. Wang Weiluo, famous Chinese hydrologist, says that because of the amount of dams and reservoirs in China now, the self cleaning ability of the rivers are reduced over 80%, making CHINA'S DRINKING WATER now EQUIVALENT TO WATER COMING OUT of GERMAN SEWAGE treatment plants. Cancer rates, diseases, etc are skyrocketing with healthcare (massively underfunded) unable to help the poor souls affected.

In Japan there are many frozen foods made in China and sold in Japan. There were certain incidents where Japanese people got sick and it was found it was due to high levels of pesticides in the food. The China side (the CCP) always found it was due to a single person poisoning the food. Never was it found to be poisoning from the land where the ingredients are grown/farmed.

People will watch this and think how grateful they are that they food they get in their home country is not similarly contaminated. However, what they may not realize is just how much food comes from China and is not labelled as such. Here in Canada one of the national news programs did an expose and found that something like 100% of fish like tilapia came from China. They went over there and filmed these fish pounds (obviously with great secrecy) and showed that were being similarly contaminated with chemical laden water. This fish was then exported to Canada and labelled "Made in Canada". Many countries labelling laws state that at least 51% of COSTS must be incurred in the labelling country. So buy $490,000 of sketchy CCP tilapia, pay your CEO $510,000, and voila, Made in Canada.

Labeling laws are different for every industry. Labeling laws for a made in USA flashlight is completely different to a "farmed in USA" food product. You're either completely misunderstanding the way it works, or there's something wrong with Canada. That "pay the CEO $510k" scenario would never work in most places. The salary for the CEO is not a cost of the product.

In the early 1700's there was a Cholera outbreak in London that was traced to a contaminated well. The well was in front of a house where someone came down with Cholera. The toilets in this house emptied into a cesspool under the house, which was a common practice during that time. The level of the water in the well was lower than the level of the cesspool. Sewage from the cesspool seeped down into the well, and scores of people who used this well died from Cholera. That situation is essentially identical to the well in this video. Dirty water is above and right next to this well. The well is clearly polluted. This Chinese city has water and sanitation practices that are the same as 1700's London. They are 300 years behind the times.

The Tofu Mafia is one of the deadliest criminal organisations in China. The oldest faction is known as the Bean Curd League, but newer groups have emerged like the Soyboys, the Tofu Eaters, and the Dau-Fu-Paws from Hong Kong, led by their ruthless boss, Stinky Tofu. Their members are often seasoned gangsters, but due to their spongy nature, they absorb a lot of the local flavor. They are also relatively high in protein, and are quite popular with vegetarians.

This week-end in France the media renamed the nu variant of corona virus : Omicron because the WHO officially named it Omicron. Xi, which should be the legitimate Ancient Greek alphabet letter after Nu, was left out. I wonder why? 🤔😉keep up the good work!

“Nu’ is too easily confounded with ‘new,’ and ‘Xi’ was not used because it is a common last name,” the WHO said, adding that the agency’s “best practices for naming disease suggest avoiding ‘causing offence to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional or ethnic groups.'”

You know, mining doesn't have to trash everything - they've changed the mining industry profoundly in the west with a huge improvement in safety, both for individual miners and the environment. You mentioned nickel, which the Canadians learned the hard way about, but now things are a lot better, and there's YT videos about their mines in Sudbury that are pretty interesting. Being one interested in mineralogy, those ugly mining sites would have been a treat for me! When I was a kid, I traveled all over exploring abandoned mines and collecting rocks I remember visiting an old gold mine in Nevada that had become a superfund site because the gold was dispersed in arsenic ore and had been extracted by burning off the arsenic in giant ovens, poisoning cattle and wildlife for miles. When I visited it in 1970 there were still gigantic boulders of arsenic sulfide - I had to sign a release of liability to visit it even back then!. So the US went through the toxic environment syndrome already. In fact we farmed out most of our ultra-toxic technology to places like China where production was cheaper because environmental laws were lax or unenforced. This may come back to haunt us someday...All we can do is hope China follows our lead in environmental mitigation and clean-up. Great info and interesting places - cheers!

I think China may have some environmental laws on the books but mostly to satisfy foreign environmental institutions and maybe those from countries that import a lot of their food products .. ..but it's hardly enforced by anyone on site ; the local government inspectors are easily bribed to look the other way , they say .. And yes I believe you're right about US corporations still cutting corners in other countries .. Ez to do if mgmnt has vested interest such as quarterly bonuses , great incentive to cut corners ..

I've noticed that pollution and violence ofter go together. It's crazy the lengths that people will go through in order to avoid just being careful with toxic shit. Like their plan is to keep stifling the truth, who knows what they're doing to that whistleblower guy who clued you into the problems, they're going to lose tons of people to illness and death, eventually they'll get exposed by someone just testing the product, all to avoid just cleaning up their act.
