    Hey y'all! Exciting news. We rented a cinema in NYC with a couple of other YouTubers, where we will each show one of our videos in person. The event is on June 20, 2024. More info: thedispatch-nyc.eventbrite.com/

    This is why cable TV is dying, when you have creators like neo who create professional amazing documentaries like this. Keep up the fantastic work bae.,

    4chan could find him in 4 days

    I was a little kid so I never quite grasped just how monumental it was finding this guy. I thought he lived in some underground hideout in the middle of nowhere, but he really was living in a luxurious home? And the Ibrahim guy unknowingly led the forces straight there, what a wild goose chase.
  • Not only is this an insanely well produced video, it’s invaluable content to history. They don’t teach raw modern history in schools like this. Big ups
  • @alexbanks9510
    This video is being correctly praised for its quality but I want to highlight just how powerful the year transition sections are. The story feels so much more grounded when you're subjected to a montage of what happened at that time rather than just seeing a year number on screen.

    This is so well produced. The snippets of headlines to mark the passing of time. The positioning of faces in a relational hierarchy, then faces highlighted as mentioned in the narrative? Damn dude. I was guided through this video and it was a f-ing pleasure. Excellent work.
  • both of my parents learned to speak, read, and write Arabic in defense language school. my dad was picked up by a contracting company working with the government and spent half my childhood overseas. He’s talked about being able to speak with Sheikh Mohammed while he was in custody in 2003. he didn’t try to hide anything he had done, he was eager to talk about the lengths Al-Queda had taken to carry out the attacks. the men were fully funded and lived in the US for several months, even took flying lessons in Arizona, Florida, and Minnesota. People credit bin Laden with the attacks, but it was Sheikh Mohammed that orchestrated the whole thing. I’m glad that distinction was made in this video edit: Sheikh Mohammed had admitted that he was angry the towers had imploded rather than toppled over. he had given specific instructions to hit the top of the towers anticipating that they would fall sideways.

    The way you communicated the passing of time with flashes of pop culture references from that moment was incredible. Well, well done. Can't wait to watch more of your stuff. Cheers and keep up the remarkable work.
  • @NotSrijan
    Absolutely love the pop culture montages you use to indicate time. Totally places us in the right era and reminds us of so much.

    This is genuinely the best channel I have subscribed to
  • @TheNoerdy
    After like 4 years of Nebula ads, this is the one that got me.
  • @wtkprol
    Incredibly well made video. Where you got all that old footage and were able to line up all those iconic moments was very captivating. Great job. Keep it up. New sub.
  • Its absolutely incredible that you highlighted all the actual significant events down the history happened as the years progressed further.

    This was such a good video I signed up to Nebula on your link to watch that one, and also was not disappointed. Your content is top-tier and the hours it must take to make it must be astonishing.
