What are You watching 2024 / 2025

This doesn’t fall into the normal entertainment category but I’m glad I found this channel. Paul Warburg is ex-military (Marine) and I like his clear, sound explanations on current events. He has a stunning commentary on Siberia, if you’re interested in that sort of information. Also check out his “Icarus Project” channel.

@natbone I thought you might like this :smiling_face:

I’d wish the next season (2026) would be a transformation of mums into a mixture of Breaking Bad / Sons of Anarchy gang and we’d have 4 more great seasons. :slight_smile:

To say the truth, this was a big let down, all down to the point i will never open his channel again. You can find much better, more objective, knowledgeable, credible and more analytical sources than this; if looking for a realistic info ofc, not one sided propaganda.
(You should know that his cousin was KIA in Ukr last year where he was a mercenary apparently, so how could he be objective??)

Yes, these are the things that make you wonder. I enjoy this kind of discovery.

Perhaps I took his Marine training for granted? Idk, but I take it seriously when I may be on the wrong track with someone else’s propaganda and I would appreciate your help if you know what I should look for and where? His historical commentary on Siberia seemed on point and the agreement between Russia and China to transfer about half of Bolshoy Ussuriysky Island to China was correct, although I was under the impression that happened in more recent times, not in 2008. Point is, if he is sprinkling in true historic events among bits of propaganda in order to convince his audience, I’d like to know how I can discern the difference. His Icarus Project is far too immense for me to pour through. If you can clue me in on how to find the pearls of his propaganda, that would be great. Thx :+1:

Oh. I won’t be able to give you straight answers, but rather just my thinking. Hoping to get any credible info from a random podcaster (random meaning he is not an expert or have a long history in that field) is utopian. It’s better to take podcasters as what they are, entertainers, actors, some are clowns, instead of credible source of information. They are biased, ex-marines are extremely biased and this gentleman here is on a far end of being biased.

If in doubts, then check the headlines of his shows and you’ll get an idea if he’s biased. You will also get an idea how do his statements age / if he is to trust. There’s nothing wrong ofc with being a fan, cheerleader, until we understand this is the stage and manipulation, but taking his day-dreaming as the truthful source of information is something else.

Because the truth is that he has miserably failed in nearly every single statement, just like they, the ‘experts’, did week after week, month after month during covid; every single prognosis was not mildly wrong, but completely wrong and if you had a business, your first take would be to fire those idiots immediately, because average 3-years old untrained orangutan would be right in 50%, while those somehow couldn’t reach that level. If he doesn’t take himself seriously, so why should we? (otherwise he’d stop for a while and rethink and maybe even change some prognosis/opinion/approach or at least be honest and give an explanation what went wrong).

He’s talking negatively about Musk from the first time when he opened his mouth, questions his businesses and even entrepreneurship (how dumb can you really be), while all that talking about Starlink is completely deceiving and i actually got a feeling he doesn’t understand it at all, but rather just pushing his own propaganda. Which makes sense, since that is his prime goal; because that propaganda keeps him on the water (fans); without it, he would drown because there wouldn’t be nothing left.

.

You’re asking me for ‘who-then’, but i can’t give you one, because we’re living in times when you just don’t get all the info in one place (otherwise we’d all be there), but you have to check more sources and hunt the truth if you want to come close to it.

You know how it goes. I can only show you the door, but you’re the one that has to walk through it. It all ends up in what pill you want to take. You take the blue pill – the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill and you and only you will have to find out how deep the rabbit hole goes to get close to the truth.

Uh, are those supposed to be political party pills?

So do I, I’m losing money. When it comes to business I don’t care what your selling or how you sell it. If I put my trust in you to keep lining my pockets with your good business tactics, don’t make dumb moves that will rock the whole boat. I have no emotion either way about what Musk does or doesn’t do but if it pisses off shareholders to the point where my bottom line is affected then, yeah, you’re damn right I have questions.

We’re talking about Musk. He’s a synonym of rocking the boat even when days are sunny and the world is eating out of his hands, but now with politics involved, his decisions will inevitably get lots of enemies, so i would assume more conservative investors would rather pick some other options on the market unless they are prepared on adventurous ride. Don’t blame Musk for that because that comes in a package.

But we slid here; the point i was trying to make was not investment’s or Musk’s related, but about completely biased videos and weird statements pulled out of nowhere that podcaster was making. If you are a fan of him, that’s fine, but if you are an investor, then i would not recommend watching his videos through investors prism; i would dare to say he’s not reliable in that sense; there are better options to follow. You presented him as a jewel, while for me he was on the exact other end of spectrum and there’s nothing wrong with that.

I wouldn’t call myself a huge fan but I do listen to a lot of people just to get a sense of what’s going on in people’s minds. I do hold respect for our Marines but I would never base investment decisions on something I saw on YT. Yes, I was impressed by his history on Siberia so that prompted me to explore more. His commentary on Starlink I found interesting and I haven’t found anything else to counterpoint it unless you have something for me?

Please explain what you mean by that. As I see it, anyone running businesses with public shares, the buck stops with them.

Since, I don’t think we know each other very well, may I give you a little information about myself? I don’t belong to any political parties. I have always been a financial conservative and always will be. If I want to understand the world a little better I’m more apt to follow financial news through Morningstar’s analyses. Why? Because I think that following the money gives me a better clue overall. I hope to get to know you better, Mikser. If we don’t agree on something, that’s even better because there lies the opportunity to learn something new.

This is exactly what i meant to say. HIS history is not a history, but a propaganda.

If you want to learn about history of Siberia, then open history documentary, not watch some ultra biased politically motivated podcaster. That is if you want history ofc.

If you want to know what would it would mean cancelling Starlink for U war, then you better find some credible sources, not some ultra biased politically motivated podcaster.

I meant if you invest in Musk’s companies, then you should be prepared for a roller coaster that comes with that. If you’re not, then it might make more sense to check what Walton has to say.

Moscow didn’t exploit the Siberian tribes for fur? That’s what I got out of it. Maybe I’m not astute enough to detect the propaganda? If he has political motivations they must have bounced off me like rubber bullets. He didn’t move me by any large degree in any particular political direction. In any case, I have delved a wee bit into Siberia but admit I’m no history pro on it. Are you trying to protect me or yank my chain? :rofl:

Now the whole Musk thing. I didn’t directly invest in Musk’s companies, they happened to be included in an ETF I had, like the “Magnificent 7” companies commonly show up in Mutual Funds and ETFs. Whatcha gonna do, shit happens? The one thing that was obvious to me about that podcaster was that he wasn’t a Musk fanboy. I do think he made some valid points, though. You may not agree, Idk. If anyone is a Musk supporter they sure aren’t going to appreciate this podcaster’s viewpoints. Shade thrower or propagandist? Hmm, meza meza? I don’t know that either but If I had any idea, I wouldn’t have bothered posting it. It’s not THAT important to me. That’s my way of saying I appreciate you warning me. He hasn’t changed one hair on my head.
