      So you’re telling me you can’t provide any names here, I have to damage my psyche listening to an extremely shitty publication’s awful talk radio turned podcast? There’s never been another article written about this extremely serious, definitely not entirely fabricated fantasy of the CIA and State Department? Hey did you know Democrats are bad? Unfortunately the only way for me to provide you with that information is you’re gonna have to watch twelve hours of Fox news and get back to me.

        “you’re telling me you can’t provide any names here,”

        no, that is not what I’m telling you.

        nobody is going to make you listen to a podcast you don’t want to, but they include the specific uyghur testimony you asked for.

              Are you playing dumb or just not getting it? I asked you to show me an individual making the claims who has not been paid to do so. You linked to a fuckin podcast, instead of providing a name. I am once again asking for the name of the individual making the claim. This should be extremely easy for you if you’re not just making shit up and wishcasting.

                the uyghurs in the podcast are not being paid for their interviews.

                yes, their names are simple to type. Nigara and kewser are interviewed in part 1.

                  You don’t have full names?

                  the uyghurs in the podcast are not being paid for their interviews.

                  Yes that would be how it usually works, the “journalist” can therefore pretend to not know the individual they are interviewing has a stipend to do their speaking tour, paid for by the NED or some other CIA/State Department appendage.

                    There’s Nigara, who lives in Istanbul and whose spoken Chinese is probably equivalent to that of a kindergartener and speaks more Turkish than Uyghur. I didn’t listen to the rest of the podcast cos I’m sleepy

              I don’t see how anyone can see you being deliberately evasive like this and not conclude that your claims are bullshit.
