It was removed because of the title, it went even further than Zenz's report did.

Also, BBC is running with this story now, citing Zenz as a source: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-54260732

I don't know how normies think this isn't a big deal. It's not even entirely about whether the stories are true or not. It's about the fact that "reputable" news organizations are using an absolute lunatic as a source of info.

This is almost like if you were reading the New York Times, and they casually dropped: "according to a report by Alex Jones..." in their article. You would probably never look at that news site the same way again.

    Anne Applebaum has been running a similar grift with the Soviet Union for years. Major media outlets refer to her as a "historian" when she's just a fucking blue-blood neolib journalist with zero academic credentials. Actual historians think her work is dog shit but if you're a media outlet and you want to bring on a "historian" to talk about the Soviet Union, you bring in Applebaum.

      I think I remember a great criticism from Wheatcroft on the absolute moralism and lack of consideration of material circumstances even though he's just a standard orthodox historian.
