Who I am

After numerous requests and much speculation I have decided to 'out' myself and reveal my identity and resume. I hope this will add weight to the research I present on this channel, although I am still not the source for the information presented in my videos. My sources are all listed, and should be checked. I would like my 'outing' to also act as a launch pad for opinion and comment in some of my future videos, where it is warranted and based on my own expertise. However, most of my videos will remain factual. I prefer to present the facts, show my sources, let people check the facts and make up their own minds. You don't need me to tell you what to think. Facts speak for themselves.

How long did it take you to learn Japanese? I've just began and I know a few sentences and I'm just getting the hang of Hiragana and Katakana (by that, I mean actually writing it in the actual symbol form and not in romaji). Thanks if you reply, if not, still thanks and great video :-).

@LustinForBlood =How long did it take you to learn Japanese?= About five years to get reasonably fluent and do interviews in Japanese. Hiragana and katakana only took a day each to learn, but I never stopped learning kanji. Even after 16 years I only knew enough to barely read a newspaper.

Do you still work for the BBC? I listen to it when I get the chance.

@CannibalMolly =Do you still work for the BBC?= Not for a few years now.

Well shit. This explains why you're so damn awesome at cutting through all the bullshit. Do you lose your superpowers if you lose the stache?

[NikosiaMateas]

Knew you sounded familiar! I used to watch the CBC on a daily basis... Then they turned into a tool of the Liberal Party. ;-;

[kajakpaddler92]

you are amazing!

[RelixKondor]

For some reason I expected you to look epic with hot chicks and explosions in the background.

[MikeoWar]

I'm feeling like complementing you on your remarkable and interesting journey, but I'm not confident in my ability to eloquently phrase my admiration, knowing it is directed to a man with a mustache of your caliber.

[TheJo4an]

I am flabbergasted. Also, very nice 'stache.

[Xcuse2N00B]

Wow. I'd never have guessed I'd seen you on CNN before. Congrats on your success!

[ministeroftuba]

I applaud sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar. Plus hopefully still an owner of a grand moustache.

[atheistcommonsense]

CBC, as in the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation?

[bishopcorva]

Still awesome, and yes. I agree, your videos rock hard. Keep up the excellence.
