Time Stamps:

#1 -- "Deadly Revelation" -- 1:30 -- 40 years after it was shot, unseen footage would get pulled out of storage, and when it was finally watched, a discovery was made on the tape that totally changed everything people thought they knew about a very famous missing person.

6:36 - So they had ores, yet the two teenagers abandoned the boat to swim to shore? I’m so skeptical abt this whole story now

I have seen parts of this story. The worse thing is that this guy came from a wealthy family but rather than be involved in the family business he chose to try and be a "white savior" to people that he knew nothing about (apparently) or he would have known what COULD happen.

Rene Wassing was dutch, not french

@thesadbantha6756
@

so im confused.

he died but theres a white guy in the footage taken after he disappeared.

so who’s the white guy in the tribe??

@harrisonrg777
@

He absolutely got what he paid for. It’s the white savior fallacy that somehow trying to “understand”all of the practices and beliefs of a culture is “helping” them. In reality, this is just another form of conquest/colonialism. White Saviorists cannot seem to grasp that there are some things that are not FOR them to understand. They are not entitled to anything a people has, not stories, not rituals, and not ARTIFACTS. Michael did not see them as people, he saw them as specimens through a microscope for him to study and take from.

@morioniix
@

so WHO was that white guy?!! I call bs. they took Michael in and he lived and died amongst the tribe. I think the story they told was to protect Michaels secret and strike fear in the Westerners hearts.
but that's just my opinion. nothing said can be taken as fact till proven. and this story is still open to interpretation ✌

@Bumblebee-n9u

Wow even his sister cashed in! A family that doesn’t miss any opportunity to make a couple bucks and when I say a couple it’s only bc to them it’s a couple bucks!

The problem is do you hear artwork said a lot artwork it’s artwork I was just artwork look at this. I went out to this very far place across the planet and I found incredible artwork. Yeah it’s not artwork dude it’s actual things they believe in and they’re gonna make you part of thier “artwork”

@edwardfiorvante6123
@

Never heard this version. I heard it was a Rockefeller and if Mike is then he wanted that pole for a different reason then he originally described! Therefore Michael’s sacrifice is absolutely justified even when the whatever ate him for breakfast,lunch, dinner and late night snack for a week or so!

What about the white man poling a canoe w tribe? How does one account for the few ppl with reddish, to reddish/blond hair?

I am beginning to see the UK government as a perfidious ally. They are certainly subversive to their own aboriginal citizenry, and if they are willing to destroy their own people, then how much more so are they with their "allies?" Americans are hyper focused on Israel, when the UK is the real backstabbers.

There's part of this story they don't mention because it has to do with the privilege of Wealth. Kennedy offered Rockefeller the use of one of our aircraft carriers just find this guy.

@clarencekindle6397

Strange and sad ending!

@TheSnowboarder8888
@

Well, not really sure what the truth of the story really is, if it was that Michael drowned or got killed by some kind of wild animal, as that was certainly possible, but if it had been that he was slain by that tribe, then the tribe only proved that they were the savages that people thought they were, as if they just didn't want to sell him the statues, then they could have done that, without having to resort to such drastic measures.

28:13 and people say these are the same tribes that invented everything 😭😂. (Yes these are how primal tribes acted and behaved this wasn’t unique). All tribes before colonism was thousands of years behind. every. African should act bc thankful, we would be in huts if not for colonism, sadly our ancestors took the pain for our privileges. we live in ac houses and use phones. Non of this would be possible it not for the “colonization” we would still be living like tribes that haven’t been in contact w the modern world. that’s just the TRUTH🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

@2-opie
@

They didn’t know he was rich.. or a Rockefeller they have no clue what that name means and has no idea the weight it carries.. 27:30 and only 5 asmat people died from”white man” and it so is told was self defense 🤷🏿‍♂️. Not sure about that but it wasn’t “many” or as many as u implied.

This is cartel level violence 🤣
