      Adrian Zenz, a radical christan theologist who said he was “led by God” in a mission to destroy China.

      He is behind a very large majority of the “studies” and “reports” about the Uyghurs, despite having a awful methodology, quoting as sources publications that themselves used him as their own source, and misquoting multiple time numbers by a factor of 10 (like 8.7% in his actual source becoming “more than 80%” in one of his “studies”).

      He is also a member of the “Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation” (itself a US funded organisation with a history of fascism), doesn’t speak Chinese nor the Uyghur language, and by his own account he only went to China once.

      In 2007.

      As a tourist.

      Here is an article with more details on his awful and bad methodology if not outright lies: https://thegrayzone.com/2019/12/21/china-detaining-millions-uyghurs-problems-claims-us-ngo-researcher/

        “We asked eight drunk people if Joe Biden ever punched them in the gut and seven of them said ‘yes’. Extrapolating this to the population of the United States, approximately 292 million people have been punched in the gut by Joe Biden.”

          Unironically this is basically what he did to get his stats, if anyone has any doubts, just read his “research” and confirm it. It’s absurd.
