Sometimes analyzing how our history, religion, ethics, beliefs, whatever through the eye of outside parties shifts paradigms more smoothly. We can be a gullible breed when we miss considering all possible versions. All problems are only problems until our perspective shifts enough to see the situation as a solution.

Secret History #19: Dawn of the Jews
As Jiang states in all his lectures at Beijing High School, he is not arguing the merits of these ideas. He is plotting patterns in history for predictive value. Today's lecture, 11/18/2025 is on the end of Pax Americana and the start of Pax Judaica.
Interesting channel, Joe2, but I am trying to understand the background of it. As they say in Harry Potter, it's important to know where the magic is coming from, right?
So in a Chinese-speaking country they have a high school in which English-speaking kids listen to long lectures about this guy's personal distillation of world history? Instead of a curriculum, with a book and etc? Is this version of history-of-the-west similar to what other kids in the region are learning? When does the bell ring and they go to the next class? (none of my high school lectures were that long!) Do the parents know what they are learning, from what I've seen Chinese parents are pretty involved in their children's studies. Isn't this a CPP country, so I guess this is government sanctioned? Is it a private school? Is this what the CPP wants young Chinese people to think? His accent feels American to me, like a person who gained English here (vs England, etc). Did he invent the idea of this lecture series, or did someone else dream the idea up and hire him? Is China known for being a bastion of freedom to teach stuff? On the other hand, I can see how Chinese people might have a different lens than we do on these subjects.
And the little asides about taking hallucinogens or connecting to the divine or opening the right-hand side of the brain... Are the parents who send thier kids there...OK with these topics in their kid's high school? Are they OK with their kids voices being taped and blasted over Youtube?
I'm trying to imagine the opposite: An American who learned Chinese in China, who teaches long lectures of his own studies, in an extensive lecture series, about his opinions of Asian history, in Chinese, at a High School in America, to Chinese-speaking students. Who professionally video tapes his lectures and airs them on YouTube in China. And throws in a dose of spirituality while he's at it... Hmmmm....
Also, I get the same feeling I do with Miles Mathis in that I could sink a whole bunch of time into this huge body of work, or I could get on with life. :). But maybe I'm just experiencing what Daniil calls "impatience".

Ok, so he is stated to be Canadian here, and his YouTube channel is also a Canadian channel. So, OK I was a little off, not American but Canadian.
So interesting that he gets written up by Newsweek... of all places...
Remember when Chinese people were dropping in the streets of the dreaded contagion, and nurses were crying and cursing the heavens? It was just after the whole bat episode.... And then we shut down our society for two years?
Family member taught English in China 37 years. I have tutored affluent and non-affluent foreign kids ESL here. What he is doing is typical in an affluent high school setting, probably private. Worth looking up who Beijing High School is. Also worth looking up his biography and CV.
English is invaluable in affluent Chinese schools. Wealthy Chinese kids are crushed by parental pressure for high achievement to get admission to wealthy American colleges. This is true in other countries as well. Jiang has good street English that can only be acquired by living here. He is English as second language. Sounds like he got here after age 16. Kids who get street English before 16 typically have zero accent unless they want to use their accent.
He is teaching in this class specifically what international relations classes cover. At least in good schools. Other family members in international relations. One teaches at War College. Good IR classes are horrific because world history is horrific.
The concepts he presents are often called conspiracy theory INSIDE the US. Most affluent foreign folk laugh at our naivete for good reason. I learned this the hard way when Bush/Cheney were locking down US after 911. I complained in detail to my wealthy 16 year old Japanese student. He knew his Japanese history. He was patient with me. After a few days on topic, he politely and sympathetically asked why Americans act like such spoiled children. Why get upset? Went back and forth and remembered that we have been tyrannized for generations covertly. He brought my focus to Nippon history. They have been overtly tyrannized carefully forever.
Suggest focus on the content. Criticisms above are solely ad hominem. In this case the ad hominem characterizations reflect more on observer than on the observed. The guy's credibility is good.
I actually don't think I've attacked the man, just talking about the scenario of his missives. And yes it does reflect on me as a jaded, suspicious person. Isn't that what you are saying that people outside this country think we SHOULD be?
And if this is being allowed to be taught, that is one interesting thing. And if it is being allowed to be sent here, that is another interesting thing. Who benefits? How does it benefit China? (is even more interesting than how does it benefit the kids or parents)
I actually find these questions more interesting than his lecture on what was happening in Israel 2000 years ago.
China owns tiktok, right? They sure like media.
No, Larry Ellison and his son (the IDF's biggest donor) owns Tiktok. That is what the psyop about censoring Tiktok was about. It was always a lie that CCP controlled Tiktok. The powerful folk who control it now did not.
Attacking the man is the definition of the word and sounds physical and evil. Not the only definition. Your criticism addressed the character and reputation of the man and not the content of what he said. His content is not being allowed to be taught - he is being paid well to teach it on purpose. His administrators knew full well who he was and what he taught long before they hired him. He is esteemed. Given what I have drilled through on his channel, it is well placed esteem.
I am much more interested in the fact that it is being published here. Same as I am impressed with how much we are seeing from Gaza and other conflicts. At some point self aware folk recognize that we are being straight up propagandized as well as reverse psychology propagandized.
Regardless of where one stands on whether Bibi is wrong or right, it has got to be clear to everyone that Bibi is being villainized hard and has been for last few years. He has always been villainized but never this overtly and universally. Like I said this is regardless of whether or not he deserves it. To be sure Bibi is taking part in villainizing himself too. His public behavior is performative.
My point here is I am reminded of the sea change on tobacco in previous generations. Phillip Morris and RJR Reynolds spent vast fortunes fighting in court and in legislatures what they knew was a losing battle. They knew that "the science" had proven repeatedly that tobacco was poison and addictive. They did a decades long rear guard retreat defense. They argued it was good for us. Then they argued it was not addictive. Then they argued that it was natural and did not warrant FDA regulation. Then the shift came. They suddenly spent their lawyers lawfare and lobbying millions proving that sure it was bad for us and addictive and that it was a drug so it required FDA regulation. And they got it. Which immediately drove every small tobacco company and independent farmer out of business over regulatory costs over night. It consolidated their entire business with its insane profits into a few companies' hands.
This same process of driving the herd hard one direction until the herd is pulling hard in the other direction is going on here now in almost every topic. Best to be ready for the whiplash coming when the shepherds set the dogs loose to drive the herd in the opposite direction - the direction we are already pulling in.
Case in point. Did anyone here think there was any possibility that pharma would force people to be fired over not taking a vaccine less than 6 months old? Ever? Does anyone today doubt that they are willing and intend to do that again? All these varied topics and their sea changes need us to realize that now ANYTHING is not only possible. In fact now EVERYTHING we previously thought impossibly difficult for tyrants to do is now likely.
Did you ever think your government would be able to close your bank account to prevent you from committing a thought crime? Is there anyone here not suspecting that this is the system that the social shepherds are working hard to herd us into now?
I am impressed with him, he seems smart and has a huge body of work, but I bet you can't ask him about Tiananmen Square, right?
To learn about Chinese and Asian real history, you'd probably have to read an American Blogger, LOL. Probably been true through all of time, that to really know about your own culture you'd have to ask your rivals. Then put the entire thing (what your own culture says about itself and what the rivals say) through a huge filter and then have a beer.
Of course those in charge don't really give a rat's ass about history (or religion for that matter). They care about things like divide and conquer, bread and circus, staying in control, being ultra rich etc.
I'm going to posit to you that this is the equal and opposite thing:
There is an old and famous book called "The Good Earth". It is a fictionalized historical novel of old China, written by an American. Extremely famous and sometimes on American high-schoolers AP reading list.
SPOILER ALERT: don't read beyond this if you are a person who wants to read this book or see the movie
Pearl S. Buck describes how in old China... girls were called "slaves", ("Is it a boy?" "No, just another slave") and only boy babies were celebrated. There were two routes of slavery for women: farm work and baby making OR concubine/fancy lady. The second choice sounds better for your girl until you realize you have to break your five-year old's feet with a bat, bend the foot in half and wrap it up tightly every day so that the feet fit into tiny little doll shoes. Because "beauty". Or maybe because thus handicapped they really *can't* work and all they are good for is sex, and are completely dependent on their man, so more willing to please.
A horrific famine comes along. The main male character in the story gets rich by stealing from people's abandoned homes, buys land with it, and holds onto it against all odds and causing great suffering for his wife (instead of going to the city where there was food). He works his wife to the bone and profits off her hard work, but when she gets old and ugly he forgets she exists and moves on to a pretty concubine who can't walk and needs daily help.
Throughout her life, old mom drops to the dirt to give birth to babies while doing her farm work. She gives birth a half dozen times during the ongoing famine. Their brood includes one girl handicapped by lack of food in the womb. Old mom commits infanticide when things are at their worst.
Your blogger is well spoken and a great presenter, but his content is not surprising to the average, widely-read Western conspiracy theorist.
Just like modern Chinese people already knew that you were pretty much cooked to be born a female in old China.
I suppose the book "The Good Earth" helped to finally put the last of the lotus-foot practice to bed. So I hear you that things need to be aired.
And I hear you that you may have to go to your rival to hear the truth of the down sides of your region.

Had interesting conversations with Asians off the record in private on Tiananmen. The narrative is as pooched and layered with lies as 911. Intentionally and carefully. What we all can know is that we all have been misled badly. I doubt Jiang is dumb enough to even mention the place online.
As to finding out about our own culture by using views from the outside, it is at least binocular vision. Just like fractal analogy. If you think you know who and what you are, suggest you get married and listen to what your spouse is willing to tell you. Then have kids and listen to what they say. Then pay attention to what those kids' friends say about you when they think you can not hear. And on.
My most humbling experience was spending a night with 2 ex girlfriends who had met but never sat down to talk. Turned out they liked each other more than me. And they enjoyed talking about me in front of me. I have trained in a martial art class with multiple attackers. 5 is the most I ever tried. I would pay a lot of money for the pleasure of an hour on the mat with those 5 gorillas again, especially if it kept me from having to sit with those 2 ladies again.
