Guo Wen Gui has made some previous claims that seemed outlandish at the time, but turned out to be true, such as China forcibly taking control of Hong Kong, causing protesters to flood the streets; the CCP lying/withholding information on the transmission and the origins of the virus; billionaires being kidnapped/murdered after conflict with the CCP.

I would agree that he often exaggerates, and some of his claims do turn out to be false, but I think we should recognize that he correctly predicted a series of unlikely events w/ regards to China. I think his general intuition of the inner workings of the CCP is correct.

He also continues to claim that Trump will ultimately win the presidency, that covid-19 is a bioweapon deliberately unleashed on the west, that the CCP is in collusion with (just about) every mainstream media, and financial instution, as well as controlling democrats.

He's responsible for the abomination of misinformation that is gnews and gtv which has been consistently spreading absolute bogus regarding the pandemic, the election, and politics, for a really long time.

Yes, Guo is right about some things every now and then, and yes he without a doubt knows more about the inner workings of CCP than 99.9% of people.

But let's not give him more credit than he deserves, he's not a fucking prophet. Let's not build another political cult of personality around an eccentric billionaire. If you take a look at gnews/gtv, a Guo cult of personality really is the only description you can think of.

> but turned out to be true, such as China forcibly taking control of Hong Kong

Pick a random guy from the street of Shanghai Beijing Guangzhou, any college educated person, they'll prefix the same.

> the CCP lying/withholding information on the transmission and the origins of the virus;

This was largely accepted as a fact of any government handling an emergency. CCP of course is worst at this.

> billionaires being kidnapped/murdered after conflict with the CCP

Think about it, if this is true, how Mr. Guo still milking money from his cult followers. It's either that he is producing nonsense that CCP doesn't care, or he is protected by “deep state” or Trump? You probably want to accept the fact that Mr. Guo is producing junks, otherwise you are leaving with a worse alternative...
