The Great Lie of China’s Shot Down Spy Balloon.

right we've got to talk about the

Chinese spy balloon and the complete

lies that China per pots on the internet

now what's really incredible about this

is how they actually use YouTube to

trick us now this is pretty incredible

and I want you to come with me for a

moment In fairness it takes a little bit

of tin foil adding but let's be real

this is probably exactly what's

happening and the reason I say that is

even though the source that we're going

to look at that potentially confirms our

tin foil hat is not one that generally

people who wear tinfoil hats like but

I'll tell you it's pretty damning so

first we're going to start by

understanding that there are people who

live in China who post videos about

China and we also obviously know that

there has been a Chinese spy balloon

quote-unquote spy balloon and that's

because China calls it a weather balloon

and now the United States government

says look this is a spy balloon that's

capable of intercepting our

communication signals and the people's

Liberation Army is basically using this

weather balloon because it's a low-cost

way to spy on your uh your uh you know

oppose opponents Communications and

weather balloons weather balloons

balloons can actually float in the air

substantially longer and go undetected

substantially longer than planes can if

China flew a spy plane by it'd be

obviously a big slap in the face planes

can't fly that long without refueling

whereas a balloon can float around for

weeks potentially undetected as in the

past the United States has admitted they

have failed at detecting other spy

balloons until it was too late until

they've already been able to explore so

to speak anyway China's latest spy

balloon is potentially spanned uh 40

countries of spying and YouTube spy

planes that we use have that have flown

past this balloon revealed an array of

active surveillance equipment now we're

actually waiting to take apart uh the

Spy balloon some of the initial reports

are that some of the pieces that were

used to manufacture the balloon were

actually made in America they've got

English writing on them uh but obviously

it sustained a lot of damage from the

missile that struck it and I imagine

we're not getting everything yet in

terms of what this balloon actually

consists of but let's be clear the

position is from the United States that

this is a spyballin the position from

China is that this is just a weather

balloon now what I like for you to think

about is the following look at this guy

this guy has a YouTube channel it's

called living in China and the idea here

is that he's just a normal dude who's

making videos telling you about what

it's actually like living in China and

so he'll tell you hey how bad's covet

out here you know what whatever he'll

try to give you sort of the reality and

so he writes it makes this video China

trolls America with spy balloon now

what's really interesting about this

first of all is that you've got a video

and a channel this individual usually

gets around 50 to 80 000 views uh per

video which is actually pretty good

somebody who gets 50 to 80 000 views

would probably expect somewhere around

500 to uh maybe 2 000 patreon

subscribers especially if the fee is

less than five dollars you know maybe

about a one percent conversion would be

very reasonable right so we go over here

to his patreon and we can see that the

lowest option to be a patreon member is

one dollar per month and what's

fascinating is this individual has a

grand total of 39 patrons

now that's interesting because wait a

minute why are the views so high but

your conversion to patrons so low when

in every video you also pin and Pitch it

and then what's also interesting is

listen to the sum of the comments here

let me get this straight U.S spends

three trillion dollars on its defense

budget annually but can't stop a Chinese

hot air balloon first spotted by

civilians in Montana looking up at the

sky well first of all that's not true

the United States and Canada detected it

when it was off the coast of Canada

before it ever even came to the United

States and the U.S defense budget is

actually slightly under one trillion

dollars it's closer to 900 billion

dollars which means this is a 3X

exaggeration and they're trying to

describe this as a hot air balloon

rather than what it actually is and

they're misleading Us in terms of who

first saw it and it's got a lot of likes

it's got a heart from the Creator we've

got some more comments as a country

independent a country that all

independently owns a space station it

actually wants to use balloons to

monitor the US I laughed so hard when

the balloon was shot down no explosion

just a shredded rubbly balloon falling

from the sky to use a 1.1 million dollar

missile to shoot down a weather balloon

that cost perhaps a few thousand dollars

is great and basically every single

comment here is making fun of America

this one I'll give it to them this one

was actually pretty good China was

actually searching for intelligent life

didn't find any okay now so but what's

interesting is all of these comments are

pro-china anti-us every single one of

them no patrons and every single comment

is pro China okay now watch this okay

what does the guy have to say I don't

remember the exact point so we're just

gonna hop in somewhere around here let's

just listen to the way he's talking

about this balloon for a moment and then

I'm going to show you a big reveal okay

this is like an exposed video sorry I

hope the Chinese don't come for me I'm

probably not invited to China anyway

there's another part I saw I think it

was on Fox again or CNN

and it was like it was saying the

balloon was uh was flying over very

sensitive areas of America and and

Military air bases let me tell you one

thing

military America's military bases right

if you fly anywhere in the world you're

gonna fly over one of their their

military bases because they've got that

many

I know why they should have asked the uh

the Pentagon guy they should have asked

him and said hey excuse me Mr Pentagon

man do you know how many military bases

do you have around the globe all right

so you kind of get he's making some you

know kind of arguments about like ah

come on they're military bases

everywhere fine oh here we go with the

weather okay let's let's see here let's

keep going

down the balloon poses no threat because

obviously they know that it's a it's a

weather it's a weather aircraft

and um but you know they're just

twisting it they're twisting it because

it fits their narrative they can use it

there was like because it came out that

they've been following this tracking

this thing for like three or four days

but then only the stories only just come

out like it today so you can see they've

been thinking for a few days like oh how

can we how can we twist this it's just

some weather balloon I don't know what's

going but it's coming it's come over

here how can we twist this ah yeah say

it's a spy balloon yeah that's a great

way the American citizens they'll

they'll believe it straight away

and all right so you see what he's doing

right he's manipulating his audience

against the United States narrative

which don't get me wrong I'm not saying

the US narrative is correct the us

bullshits us all the time the north

stream pipeline is probably a fantastic

example of this but what I'd like to do

is introduce you to everyone's favorite

Source in the world I'm kidding

obviously but it still has very

interesting perspective ready for it

check this out 2020 uh 21 article I

actually read this in print I know that

sounds crazy because I um I I still get

the print paper but that's how I don't

miss stuff like this and I I save stuff

like this but anyway how Beijing

influences the influencers now I'm not

going to go through all of this right

but basically listen to some of the

allegations the New York Times made to

meet here the videos of these Chinese

influencers have a home spun feel but on

the other side of the camera often

stands a large apparatus of government

organizers state-controlled news media

and other official amplifiers as part of

the government's widening attempts to

spread pro-beijing messaging around the

world they basically have offices of

hundreds of Chinese people leaving

positive comments they're not actually

Bots but they're they're like troll

Farms is basically what they are

state-run news outlets and local

governments have organized and funded

pro-beijing influencers travel so

basically the creators don't need to

actually make money on patreon because

they're getting paid by the Chinese

government they have paid or offered to

pay creators they've generated lucrative

traffic for the influencers by sharing

videos with millions of influencers so

the government of China is sharing these

to prop up the views while they're

paying them and what do they saying

encouraging most of the YouTubers have

lived in China for years and say their

aim is to counter the West's

increasingly negative perceptions of the

country they decide what goes into their

videos they say not the Communist party

but even if the creators do not see

themselves as propaganda tools Beijing

uses them that way Chinese diplomats or

Representatives have shown their videos

at news conferences and promoted the

Creations on social media blah blah blah

blah the synthetic voices this is an

effort to control The Narrative of

course Okay blah blah here look at this

one in the in the spring so-and-so talks

about how it's totally normal here look

people are enjoying kebabs people are

doing their job and living their lives

right this is like the the anti-kind of

covid narrative right and it's

fascinating because I actually that's so

funny that they the New York Times

mentioned this over here because if I go

back to this guy's videos and I go to

his channel what you're gonna actually

see is watch this okay look at this

so videos you go over here first of all

look at the titles uh China trolls

America with spy balloon America can't

compete with Chinese infrastructure

family fun and Shenzhen uh what do we

have over here oh yeah everyone is

infected with covid in China okay so

it's it's obviously clickbait but anyway

you click on it and what look look at uh

what what you get

you say that again I will dasany hold on

let me back back up a little bit

so what does that tell you now they're

trying to suppress

the the the truth about China and I'm

not going to say it's positive what I'm

showing I'm just it's the truth really

um so you know you gotta watch out not

only Western media

but also these kind of Western uh social

media platforms they're also they're not

they're trying to hold back

and suppress the truth

hey

so there he slams Western media uh

there's a part where he walks around and

he's like look people are happy here

where where is it they're not wearing

masks sometimes I wear a mask where I

think it was right here

you can see lots of people around most

people not wearing masks

um look at this look at this guy he just

straight up looks like he works for the

government like he's been planted there

like okay good good honey we're in the

shop uh we're in the shot act happy act

happy I've already had Kobe

Phyllis uh I mean it's it's ridic I mean

look who knows maybe it's true but when

you align the extremely biased narrative

with uh what we know about logic and

what we know about the government's

desire uh to spin things remember it's a

Communist Party of China right they

control the state media right uh along

with this it's kind of like yeah it

doesn't look good along with like the

patreon issues that we saw right it just

it just doesn't look good now I've gone

through all of this uh and one of the

things they even went as far as saying

is that they're actually potentially

scripts I don't know remember where they

said it maybe they didn't use the word

script but I think it was like somewhere

in the article they talk about how the

Chinese government will essentially even

go as far as giving these people bullet

points and like hey maybe you can

massage the message like this it will

pay you more if you say this you know

maybe try to manipulate people into into

realizing that Western social media

platforms are the ones that are

misleading you it's not us uh who knows

but like this was interesting

Stuart Wiggins channel the Chinese

traveler does not indicate that he works

for the people's daily yet that was how

Mr wiggin who is British was identified

by another state newspaper China Daily

in his coverage of date with China

campaign so in other words the guy

here's an example where uh somebody who

has a YouTube channel uh the the Chinese

traveler uh is actually someone who

works for the Chinese state-run news

agency China Daily but doesn't disclose

that on the channel so it's very very

interesting uh so anyway I thought I

would share that because personally I am

not surprised that China is doing that

at all I don't believe a war China says

and I'm not here to say you should

believe everything you hear of in the

United States I just want to wake up a

little bit more this idea about the

Chinese propaganda machine and boy I

think it's a lot stronger than we

actually realized or ever thought it was
