Why elite scandals never change anything: Prof. Jiang Xueqin
I blackmail. I don't get got. Cohen taught me.
(Prof Jiang Media) Jan. 8, 2026: Modern societies tend to believe that exposure brings accountability — that when scandals surface, power is finally put at risk.
In this lecture, Jiang Xueqin questions this belief. By examining history, political systems, and recurring patterns of elite behavior, Prof. Xueqin argues that scandals rarely dismantle power structures. More often, they reinforce them.
We work for Zionist Israel and get many perks.
Public outrage creates the illusion of justice, while institutions quietly contain the damage, shield their core interests [redact names of powerful participants in crimes], and continue unchanged.
Through a series of high-profile case studies, this discussion explores why exposure so often fails to generate real reform, why moral anger dissipates without consequence, and why modern societies repeatedly confuse visibility with accountability [and there is no real transparency].
What appears to be a moment of truth, Prof. Xueqin suggests, may instead function as a diversion — shifting attention away from structural power toward spectacle.
This video investigates how elite systems endure scandal, why genuine accountability remains structurally elusive, and why societies continue to misplace faith in exposure as a corrective force.
🎓 Speakers: Interview with Danny Haiphong and Professor Jiang Xueqin
Italian engineer Alberto Donini from the University of Bologna said erosion patterns at the pyramid's base suggest it may have been built between 20,000 and 40,000 years ago, far earlier than the conventional timeline. [This idea was stolen from much braver investigators who made the claim and brought forward the evidence for it long ago.]
Donini's Relative Erosion Method (REM) estimated the pyramid's age by comparing how much erosion occurred on stones exposed since construction with nearby stones whose exposure time is known.
By measuring the difference in wear, he calculated how long the older stones have been exposed, producing dates that far exceed traditional estimates.
The study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, examined 12 points around the pyramid's base. Some measurements suggested tens of thousands of years of erosion, with the average pointing to roughly 25,000 years.
Donini also proposed that Pharaoh Khufu may have renovated the pyramid rather than built it, potentially revising assumptions about its original authorship.
If the dates proposed by Donini are accurate, the Great Pyramid could predate not only the reign of Khufu but also the rise of any known advanced civilizations, raising fundamental questions about human history and architectural knowledge in the distant past.
Archeologists have long dated the Great Pyramid to about 4,600 years old. But an engineer has proposed the iconic structure is much older
The Great Pyramid of Giza, the largest of the three pyramids on the Giza Plateau, [is said to have been] built by Pharaoh Khufu during Egypt's Fourth Dynasty.
It sits alongside the Pyramid of Khafre, the Pyramid of Menkaure, and the Great Sphinx, all shrouded in mystery due to their precise alignment, unusual construction methods, and debated purpose. Source: Daily Mail via msn.com

Somalia [a], officially the Federal Republic of Somalia [b], is the easternmost country in continental Africa. Stretching across the Horn of Africa, it borders Ethiopia to the west, Djibouti [c] to the northwest, Kenya to the southwest, the Gulf of Aden to the north, and the Indian Ocean to the east.
Somalia has the longest coastline on Africa's mainland. Somalia has an estimated population of more than 18 million, of which 2.7 million live in the capital and largest city, Mogadishu.
Britain included the conditional provision that the Somali residents would retain their autonomy, but Ethiopia immediately claimed sovereignty over the area. This prompted an unsuccessful bid by Britain in 1956 to buy back the Somali lands it had turned over [120]. Britain also granted administration of the almost exclusively Somali-inhabited Northern Frontier District (NFD) to Kenyan nationalists [125, 126]. This was despite a plebiscite [rule by the people] in which, according to a British colonial commission, almost all of the territory's ethnic Somalis favored joining the newly-formed Somali Republic [127].
As one of Africa's most ethnically homogenous countries, around 85% of its residents are ethnic Somalis. The official and national language of the country is Somali, while Arabic is recognized as a second language. The overwhelming majority of the population are Sunni Muslims. More

Who dares question ancient written scripture?
(Freely) Hollywood Mel Gibson: With its 88 books, the "Ethiopian Bible describes Jesus in incredible detail" -- and it's not what we [have been taught by the official Church to] think! The Book of Enoch openly talks about extraterrestrials, realms, UFOs, and visitations/abductions, but Catholics and Protestants are not able to read or believe it. The Ascension of Isaiah... The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church was made invisible to the West and its imperial Christianity run to serve empire.
Zawyet El Aryan (زاویة العریان) is a town in the Giza Governorate of Egypt, located between Giza and Abusir [1]. To the west of the town, just in the desert area, is a necropolis [examined by Egyptologist and Italian architect Alessandro Barsanti], referred to by the same name. Almost directly east across the Nile is Memphis. In Zawyet El Aryan, there are two pyramid complexes and five mastaba cemeteries. More

Trump and his Department of War have launched wars on the poor using ICE as his stormfront and Nigeria (a country in Africa with a lot of oil and the largest population on the continent), Venezuela and its fishing and contraband boats, the White House and its former East Wing, and the US of A.
(Democracy Now!) Trump throws "Great Gatsby" party at his Mar-a-Lago Florida mansion as he cuts SNAP food aid to millions of Americans, threatens war on Nigeria, Africa (if Muslims keep mistreating Christians), and Venezuela (if they don't make way for the CIA to run and deal drugs instead of the cartels and start giving U.S. their oil), and Afghanistan (if they don't give back things the U.S. military left them). And Iran (if they don't stop getting in the way of Dictator Netanyahu's Zionist plans for a "Greater Israel" in the region, includes large parts of Iran and all the Middle East states it finds convenient). And and and, is any part of the world safe from American imperialism unless they are aligned with the other two super-powers, Russia and China, which will soon split the world into three super-states just like George Orwell describes in Nineteen Eighty-Four?
The Great Gatsby is a 1925 tragedy novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, near New York City, the novel depicts first-person narrator Nick Carraway's interactions with Jay Gatsby, a mysterious millionaire obsessed with reuniting with his former lover, Daisy Buchanan, just like Leo DiCaprio portrayed it in that cheap, over-the-top sequel.
VEGAN Dr. Jane Goodall, UN Messenger of Peace and Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, was a remarkable example of courage and conviction, working tirelessly throughout her life to raise awareness about threats to wildlife, promote conservation, and inspire a more harmonious, sustainable relationship between people, animals, and the natural world. She passed away in her sleep. in the latter part of her life, she expanded her focus as a vegan/vegetarian and became a global advocate for human rights, animal welfare, species and environmental protection, and many other crucial issues.

"I stopped by the end of 60-something like that," Jane said of eating meat. The legendary Dr. Goodall has lived a life full of compassion and advocating for animals, sharing her immense knowledge with generations of people eager to soak up her wisdom. Dr. Goodall's climate activism has been astoundingly inspiring for countless compassionate people seeking a better, safer, healthier world, and she has clearly lived a long life as an environmental leader and role model.

She was considered the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees, having studied the social and family interactions of wild chimps for over 60 years. She was scheduled to speak in Pasadena today, Oct. 1, 2025, for the local chapter of her Roots & Shoots and later this week at UCLA's Royce Hall.
Miss Goodall and the Wild Chimpanzees: National Geographic's 1965 documentary follows the experiences of British zoologist Jane Goodall, who spent five years studying chimps in Tanzania's Gombe Stream Preserve and discusses her belief that thorough understanding of chimpanzee behavior will lead humans toward a clearer understanding of themselves. (ThisOldVideo2: This is the 1988 edited version posted Feb. 6, 2021).
Another of Dr. Louis Leakey's legacies stems from his role in fostering field research of primates in their natural habitats, which he saw as key to understanding human evolution. He personally focused on three female researchers:
Jane Goodall,
Dian Fossey,
Birutė Galdikas.
He called them "The Trimates" [2][3]. Each went on to become an important scholar in the field of primatology. Leakey encouraged and supported many other doctoral (Ph.D.) candidates, most notably from Cambridge. As well, Leakey played a role in creating organizations for future research in Africa and for protecting wildlife. More
Death comes to us all. I wish I'd prepared more.
Goodall (born Valerie Jane Morris-Goodall and formerly known as Baroness Jane van Lawick-Goodall) first went to Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania, Africa, to observe its chimpanzees in 1960 [4].
As the founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and the Roots & Shoots program, Goodall has worked extensively on conservation and animal welfare issues.
DVD DESCRIPTION: This critically acclaimed documentary explores the 700-year history of [Black] Islamic rule on the Iberian Peninsula [Spain and Portugal]. Although generations of Spanish historians have portrayed the Moors as brutish occupiers, recent research paints a much different picture. The Islamic invaders actually brought stunning advances in science and art to their territories. Oxford-educated historian Bettany Hughes gives modern viewers a rich, nuanced understanding of Islamic history and culture while visiting such sites as the Alhambra Palace and the Great Mosque at Cordoba.
