    The century of the self, as well as any other Adam Curtis doco.

    The spiders Web, about the offshore tax haven industry.

    The 2 documentaries on Roy Cohn. Various documentaries on Donald trump, also Epstein.

    Michael Moore has some good documentaries also.

    Vice by Adam McKay. Isn’t really a doco, but in a way it actually is…

    And if we’re talking about high quality information, then the rest is history podcast should be on this list, as well as the behind the bastards podcast.

    Long live those who speak truth to power!

      Behind the Bastards is western leftist at best, liberal at worst. Just to name one issue, Evans is affiliated with Bellingcat, a CIA/NED front outlet. Stalin and Kim Jong Un have been some of the “bastards” covered by the show.

        Good points, I was aware of the cia affiliation but not the actual name, so thanks for mentioning. Can you recommend to me any other resources for learning like this? Thanks

          He’s come up on the Grad every once in a while.

          Aaron Maté and the Grayzone have talked about the likely false flag chemical weapons attack in Syria which was primarily pushed by Bellingcat. Bellingcat themselves have had the NED as well as other NATO government orgs listed as funding sources.

          One of Evans’ buddies from Cracked is an original member of “NAFO,” ie. a proud online neonazi troll.

          Evans’ geopolitical analysis always comes down to “neither Washington nor [villain of the week],” thus implicitly supporting the US position.

          Even if he’s not explicitly an imperial tool he’s a useful idiot.
