Interesting post Steve!
Your theory relating to a range of YouTubers being connected to military/intel agencies is certainly something that I find compelling and you make a strong argument there.

The Chernobyl footage is amazing! I had NO IDEA that Goodman was involved with that project.
The Timing of the filming in Ukraine is certainly odd and the fact that the company earned millions after J.Go's departure is quite interesting - why would he leave at this point?
We heard a lot of talk from cstt about black helicopters in LV but, as you suggest, their may have been another possibility which was curiously never raised by cstt in all this.
I use to follow Webb and Goodman when they first appeared - especially Webb - but I found that their investigations began to go off the rails in many ways. My feeling was/is that there are many in the alt-media whose sole purpose is to misdirect and waste people's time and energy.
Thank you for a refreshing article!
