Episode 464: Actor w/ 25M Followers "Falls" From 5th Floor - Entire Nation SILENCED Until Torture Video Is Leaked
Yu Menglong, a famous actor is confirmed to be dead.
The authorities say he fell to his death from the 5th floor of a luxury Beijing apartment that wasn’t his.
They say it’s just a drunk accident and quickly rule out any foul play.
They don’t investigate the dozen plus partygoers in the apt that evening…
They don’t even investigate further into his death.
Instead, the authorities begin censoring any netizens openly questioning the events of that night.
Livestreams are shut down mid-stream.
Comments and profiles get taken down and deleted.
Still, netizens are one step ahead as a video slips through the cracks.
Bloodcurdling screams are captured on audio. A man begging for his life between cries.
A conspiracy spreads like wildfire: Yu Menglong was tortured to death after he swallowed a USB containing government secrets.
Could there be truth to this theory? Why would a government go so far to censor a movie star’s death?
And why are there rumors saying his mother has now gone missing…
