This is one of the most compelling episodes of Change Agents. The journalist paints a vivid picture by focusing on specific people's experiences. Great stuff.
Im hooked on Iron Clads Border Land as a south Texan. Great show!
I'm glad you're enjoying the show!
Thanks for posting this interview.
What an unbelievable expose!
It's obviously epic...
I'm glad you enjoyed the interview!
My cousins were between Florida and Bermuda and had a skiff with three or four guys on it come up on them a hundred miles offshore with no rods or anything. They followed them about a thousand yards off there side until they managed to cut in front of them. They never got within five hundred yards but they dropped a prop foul (rope that floats or self floats) across their path. Cuz stopped and turned around and averted contact but the other boat only stopped approaching them when cuz and company presented weapons. Mariner 12ga is identifiable from quite a distance. Stay safe brothers
That sounds like a really intense and scary situation. I'm glad your cousins were able to stay safe.
WoW, an eye opener for sure !! Thank YOU both for a great session......
Love the information you bring out that most would not hear from other sources, but are huge issues in the world.
Outstanding book! It is true investigative journelism that really is balanced. Outlaw Ocean is a must read for any DOJ war planner that needs to understanding the operating underworld.
Check out fruit company Dole and their Pineapple cups. Yes grown locally but then its shipped by sea to 2 other countries for processing then shipped back to the US. Learn to read the fine print on everything. I was just shocked to learn that all flavors of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing contain bio engineered ingredients. Every bottle of Ranch whether it be buttermilk to bacon of every size had it on the fine print of their labels in a local HEB store here in Texas
Thank God I live on the coast of maine and never have to eat any seafood from China or any other country , that shit is for chain restaurants and box mega stores....eat local support local live better .
Been listening to the BBC for many years. They have been reporting on the piracy occurring in the Gulf of Aden and off Somalia. Seen old films and videos of pirates having firefights with the security officers on the ships. Thanks for posting this interview, goes along with what's been reported,
Thanks for watching Steven!
Love the channel, hate an ad every 10mins
Thank you for the support! We appreciate your feedback.
This (Ironclad) is the best way to break up the monotony... Thanks for the new episode! ✌️
You bet!
Interesting stuff 👍
Glad you think so!
Thank you so much for this interview and new window into another underreported topic. My heart goes out to the slaves on the Chinese fishing vessels, and to all the commercial vessels just trying to do their jobs of transporting goods - which is a key service to the world. It's outrageous that this is allowed to the degree it is. Train those merchant marine sailors! Arm those ships! This sounds worse than the American Wild West.
Im a commercial fisherman in the usa it sounds like a hell trip 2 years on squid boat squid rotts fast those boats sounds like hell on earth for no money
Just saw a deep dive into this from a Nick Crowley video just last night. It's crazy how many of these cases that could've happened without being recorded.
Great episode!
Thank you so much for watching!
I did a couple of EOD tours in the Falklands during my time in service and have some very good friends there. During the squid season some of them get work on the jiggers as it pays very well. They are always carrying multiple knives on them (the Falklands has the same firearms policy as the UK, so guns are not going to happen), the knives aren’t for processing the squid, but for self defence. It is not uncommon for the foreign workers on jiggers to quite literally be thrown overboard if they become injured or sick whilst out fishing and you can imagine how long you’re going to last in winter in the South Atlantic. I’m actually surprised some of them take the bodies of those that have died to Montevideo for repatriation, if they did this in Stanley (capital of the Falklands) then I can guarantee they’d lose their annual fishing licence and unlikely be granted another in future years. When I was last there over 20yrs ago a seasonal licence was about £1.5M and as such it’s the biggest independent source of income for the Falkland Islands.
What a shame, they should board/check any commercial vessel within 200 miles of the US to make sure they don’t have slaves. That’s a bunch of crap that this is happening in 2024.
I worked in seafood for a bit when I was younger & we sold (wholesale) almost exclusively US/MEX caught seafood. We shipped domestically & to Japan, Korea, etc. Some fish came from Australia, Portugal, Scotland, etc…but only as a novelty item.
I assume that when Americans buy Chinese caught seafood, it’s frozen supermarket stuff.
In CA we supply our own tuna, squid, urchin & lobster, striped bass, red drum. Probably many other species as well.
It's truly disheartening to hear about these unethical practices in the seafood industry. Awareness and advocacy are key to bringing about change.
@@thisisironclad thanks for the video, I enjoyed it… You did a great job.
@@DePalma. 💪
AP, The Guardian and Time magazine do good reporting? Wow that's the way to ruin your credibility in the last 2 mins LOL
Agreed, AP, The Guardian and Time magazines have been liberal rags for 15 years.
Would you send some sources that time magazine has false reporting?
this channel is dope
Thanks for the love! Stay tuned for more awesome content!
Hi Andy 👋
Hello 👋
@@thisisironclad you’re my spirit animal and I ❤️ you, keep up the good work sir 🇺🇸
Everyone high up knows.
They did a great job of deterring piracy 🏴☠️, they should feel proud of their accomplishments…its always some sniveling journalist who has a problem with how things should be handled.
NAILED IT, sound like one of them "Hug A Thug" clowns who rather us be victims of crime.
26:47 very tragic…. Senseless murder. PH needs to be held accountable. The PH coast guard and Taiwan fishermen?
They are unaware at all
Your intro draws me in,that's my belief and how I roll,but I've also seen U advocate for the IDF and Israel.Dont get me wrong many of my idols are Jewish,Zionism and Judaism are not the same thing. respect all cultures and personal choice in life
but to be strong and to rise and help build a better future you HAVE TO recognise and be aware of facts and history.Never tow the line,carve out your own way and stand tall ,held up by righteousness
and truth.If it's right then people recognise it,you can't build a solid foundation on racist ideology propaganda,lies and greed.
It’s like Saturday morning cartoons in the 80’s on this channel!Every 3 minutes it’s some bullshit commercials
I did a handful of CP floats, most in Red Sea 2 in Indo. Boring, hot, crazy, loads of characters, decent pay, redick rules, its a story builder for sure. Been there done that dont need to do it anymore. I have to say most of the gigs where eventful but the dudes I worked with very professional for the most part.
Wow, CP floats in the Red Sea sound intense! Glad you had a decent pay and good colleagues to work with.
The Somalians said they turned to piracy because the u.s. navy was over fishing their waters with big fishing nets and at times explosives, therefore the Somalian peoples couldn’t provide for their families and not to mention the offshore oil drilling of Somalian waters
Dupont spinners used by the US Navy ?
10:10 tortured …. Most likely
Have your frozen fish's DNA screened to see if it is what they say it is. You'd be surprised how much of it is counterfeit.😅
They were just shooting people for sport! It was a brutal video. By the way don't film yourself commiting crimes 🤦
Andy needs help & only The Church of Scientology can help him. If he turns over all of his financial assets to the church, he will get a hundred times back then what he gives.
Yeah right ...
@@astrophysicistguy You are a non believer. Scientology can help you just like it can help Andy and other famous people. How many credit cards do you have? What are their limits? What is your bank account number? Can you start with a $10,000 donation?
@@apollothirteen9236 sure, you first. If you wouldn't mind sending me a quick $10,000 to help me in my retirement bass fishing goal of becoming a pro fisherman I'll be happy to pay you back once I win my first event .... you can send me the fund# via PP, thx
Pay for salvation? GTFOH
Real snooze fest here...
