Another day, another absolute banger from our beloved creator EWO! I’m excited to see where Season Three will take us! Keep up the good work, akhi!

Another bias take, when are you going to tell the whole story and show the devil of the communist side there are so many evil stories of how communism ruined hundreds of impoverished third world places far more then western intervention yet you only focus on the west being evil as if this story is unique so many documentaries and books have been out this is nothing new, you are hiding the pains of communism and it’s really distasteful and cowardly

For sure, I’m actually going to do a whole video breaking down the Diem assassination when I get there 👁️

Amazing video as always! The only (very small) critique I have is that you didn’t mention the 1963 coup against Diệm — just 20 days before JFK’s assassination. I know you’ve covered it in previous episodes, but it feels especially relevant here, since it’s the clearest direct link between the CIA, JFK, and an assassination. The Iraq coup in 1963 is another possible connection, though I admit I don’t know as much about that one. Earlier events like the Congo seem more tied to the Eisenhower administration, so the link to Kennedy is a little less clear. If you're ever looking to expand into newer material, I’d love to see you cover the Neoconservatives’ rise, or the CIA’s post-Cold War operations in Eastern Europe. And beyond the CIA, it would be amazing to see deep dives into other intelligence services — the KGB, Mossad, MSS, MI6, ISI, etc. All of them have shaped the world as we know it in huge ways. Overall, your videos are incredible — probably the best on YouTube when it comes to revealing the true nature of U.S. intelligence operations and in general! You're the GOAT for this kind of content! Please keep going strong, and never stop! Keep your EYES WIDE OPEN!

Where/When can we talk about Joseph Kennedy's stroke in 1961 that left him unable to speak?

Eyes wide open, you know once again I must absolutely hold you in the best regard and respect, while I may not always have the same conclusions, the way in which you “ tell the story “ and such in depth referencing is very refreshing in today’s society. Keep up your great work !!!

I know it’s not ideal but many are available on the Internet archive website for free (with a free account). It’s a great resource if you want to read just a few pages of a book before buying. Alternatively, many do include free pdf and epub downloads for e-readers too.
