We  are finally back after the holidays. I have a really massive episode in  store for you today! Both in terms of length and subject matter. We  will continue our bio-peace and warfare series by looking for an  alternative to all the doom and gloom we have experienced so far! To do this we will go back to the High Qing in the first half of the  episode, before the nationalisation of the British East India Company  and the opium, before the American Civil war, before the birth of the  railroad commodity matrix proper and before the late Victorian  Holocausts and the Irish Famine, you know the fable time and land of  guardian animals painted blue on to white porcelain that Antoinette and  Ludwig would throw at walls during their dinner parties. This will lead us into an exploration of the Great Leap Forward in the  second half, something that I have been promising to go through for the  longest time. We will debunk the anti-communist recruited intellectuals,  we will get a glimpse of a global think tank network responsible for  the revision of this narrative. But most importantly we will study in  detail, overlooked anomalies in their data. An investigation that will  slam open the door for a much more fascinating history of the power  struggles within the CCP during the biggest single agricultural project  in mankind's history Simply put, it's time to allow the return of the repressed!
