    “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

                  So you’re scared of anybody being able to check up on your claims and won’t provide an actual full name of someone making these claims to prevent anybody from being able to investigate the individual. You’re gonna need to work on your tactics because this is pretty pathetic, but if you keep it up I am sure somebody at USAID would take a look at your resume once their budget has been sorted out again.

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