00:05and it was this big evil hoax of me using a war crime to get famous, that's what made the
00:09whole story go into hyperdrive. It wasn't the story itself, it was the negative slander,
00:14at least in America it was. And again, case in point, when I donated that photo album,
00:18I had so many articles from major mainstream media in the West written about me, speculating my
00:23intentions, calling me a bad, you know, just going with this negative thing. But when it,
00:28you know, when I was able to say, hey, no, you guys, look, you got it wrong. This isn't what
00:32happened. You all ran with this fake thing. I donated the book. I got this diplomatic gift.
00:36This is a really happy, positive conclusion. Crickets. Nobody in the West reported on the
00:42follow up. If you Google my name on American or on American internet, it still looks like I used
