Today I met with representatives from China and donated the World War 2 photo album. I want to thank China and all the people who stood by me throughout this process. It has been a life changing experience.
Update 2 - The book has been relocated offsite and is not available for public viewing. This is a delicate artifact and I need to protect it. I want to thank all the people who stopped by to voice support and offer sincerity for educating people about the horrors of World War 2.
I came to learn over the weekend just what an incredible honor China bestowed me with this gift.
@AmbQinGang
was extremely humble and I was unaware what this was. This is the highest diplomatic honor China can give. I am speechless. Thank you so much! I will treasure it forever!
Update - this is not a quick process. Likely will take 1-2 months. Next week I have authenticators coming by to give opinions. I have museum personnel I am chatting with to figure out the next steps as well. I will keep everyone informed. ❤️❤️
Have you seen the book in its entirety? Then how could you possibly know whether or not it’s real? It’s pretty messed up I am being attacked for accidentally educating millions of people about a genocide. I have authenticators coming by this week and will post updates.
Can someone provide me with a list of other recipients, the manufacturing process, and other info about it? I want to make a tiktok explaining what it is, its symbolism, and who else has received one.
Let’s be clear here - I did NOT and WILL NOT apologize for anything. If the conversation is genocide and someone is being educated, there is nothing to be sorry about.
Keep in mind at the end of this, as I now have a letter from China commending my actions in the name of peace, the woke white cancel culture mafia attacked, slandered, and fed fuel to a fire that resulted in death threats. Digest that. Wokeness is a degradation against us all.
Negativity on social media. When this story broke and the allegations were abound, I was bombarded by the media attacking me. Happy, positive ending to a global news story… Crickets. Talked to 2 journalists today. That’s it. Negativity sells, and it’s so harmful toward society.
I wasn’t expecting any gifts and the representatives were so humble they didn’t say “we only give this to heads of state”
It is so rare I had to move it someplace off site. My Chinese viewers clarified what exactly it was on my YouTube comments section.
Again, if you want to know the full Nanjing Massacre history, listen to the
@lions_by
podcast 3-parter. Because I made a mistake I am not the person to tell the history, but host Joe Kassabian is. It’s a 3 part episode.
This is the individual who was trying to hack into my wifi. No idea who he was affiliated with. I shut my store down for 2 weeks after this. Scared the shit out of us. Blurry photo but can anyone identify him? There is more video footage in my YouTube video.
Tomorrow marks one year since I donated the world war 2 album to China. To commemorate a year, I will be digitally releasing the entire photo album on my website’s new blog, along with a 5,000 word essay detailing my experience. In case you forgot, this is the original video that
I know I will never get it but I am also owed one hell of an apology from some major influencers. Sure, I made a mistake, but there are so many people who made bigger ones about me and my intentions and the damage is something I have to carry beyond this saga.
I just want the media who threw me under the bus, destroyed my reputation, and fanned the flames of hate that resulted in threats against my life to give me equal coverage on the back end. I think I deserve better than a bullshit part 1 and no full circle conclusion.
Thank you Evan for donating the precious album of historic significance to the Chinese people. The atrocities by Japanese militarism should never be forgotten. Facts should not be denied, nor can they be denied. Let's remember history as a gateway to a better future.
Major WW2 scrapbook update coming next week. After next week I will be open for press interviews and can finally talk about all that happened. This was an immensely complicated situation that required lawyers working behind the scenes and I couldn’t say anything.
I think this whole thing through and through is a cautionary tale not just about social media and how fast things spread, but the type of media we consume and how we love festering negativity.

Ralph had to go. He was too reckless to keep on the crew and he was thinking for himself like he was the boss. And he was a scumbag POS worse than anyone in Tony’s crew
It amazes me when there were all these heinous accusations about my intentions and what I did, I was bombarded by the media. The story gets a positive ending, I redeem myself… crickets. I’ve talked to 2 journalists since Wednesday. I think it’s because we consume negativity.
Almost a year later, people on Twitter are still arguing about my National Gift from China and that whole saga. I’ve asked a number of museums to house it on display. None have returned my phone calls. Really frustrating.
Minneapolis PD LIKELY would have killed a completely innocent man had I not been walking by w a phone. I had to say “I met this man tonight in the club. There is no reason to stop him.” I had to add “I’ve got a million on tiktok + am filming” - they immediately let him go. JFC…
I reposted some of the tiktoks of Americans thinking my national gift is a hoax from Amazon on Chinese social media… the Chinese comments are brutal. First class ticket to making yourself look like a dumb American- invent an irrational conspiracy and then attach your face to it
My interview with Chinese journalist Jessica Zang ‘China is where the album belongs to.' | Chat with American pawnshop own... - our convo got pretty interesting!
I rewatched Freddy Got Fingered last night.
@tomgreenlive
is a goddamn genius. I cried laughing. I really do think he got $30,000,000 budget granted and decided to see if he could troll all of Hollywood by making the worst film ever. 10/10 funny and I am actually not kidding.
@GreenNerve
For the 1000th time - This book does not belong to me and I do not have permission to do that from the owner. I was explicitly told I cannot do that. I do not own this book and am simply a vessel to get it to the proper hands.
I also need to get back to my usual content but hopefully will have answers for everyone about the book by the end of the week. In the mean time here’s some economy talk -
I wrote an 8,000-word essay on my experience regarding the World War 2 photo album and what being the subject of a viral video does to a person’s mental health. Sure wish the media outlets who were so quick to run attack pieces on me would respond to my inquiries for publishing.
The hell is going on here? You win the appeal, but eat a bag of dicks…?
@tiktok_us
I make educational content. It’s a video about how the UK symbolized defeat over the Nazis with table medals. It’s a goddamn lion crushing a swastika. You’re dumbing us all down with censorship.
If
@tiktok_us
gets banned, I might lose everything. Washington, shame on you for thinking this is a good idea. Clearly you do NOT represent your constitutes. Your embarrassing behavior and language this week proved that. Above all else, you’re hurting small businesses like mine.
@CinemaTweets1
CRASH IS BY FAR THE WORST TRAIN-WRECK ABOMINATION EVER FILMED TO WIN BEST PICTURE. No movie has been such a dumpster fire of preachy, poorly aged garbage as this piece of shit. The Oscar’s became COMPLETELY irrelevant as result of the catastrophic crash for securing best pic
Online interview with American pawnshop owner Evan Kail
@EvanKail
, he shared his thoughts along the way from getting the WWII album to giving it to China. Thank you for what you have done. “Facts should not be denied, nor can they be denied.”

I had the privilege and honor to meet the Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China in Chicago. I said the most Minnesotan thing ever - “I want to thank you for your thank you note and gift.” Got a good laugh out of him! Thanks for inviting me!
I am a MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT KETAMINE EXPERIMENT SURVIVOR. I am so angry about what I saw tonight.
My story what I saw. And for what? If you don’t know- MPD KETAMINE Experiments — I saw a therapist for YEARS because of this. I am still FURIOUS.
