Hello everyone. I’m Farhan’s brother Adnan. Many of you whom have seen Farhan’s videos will have already met me. You noticed the ugly eyeball at the end? Well that is me!

I watched the infamous ‘Loose Change’ and from that point onwards my entire outlook on world politics (Read on…)
I’ve always wanted to start my own blog, mostly so I could post about anything I want and whenever I want, without having to make a video on every little announcement. I’ll be posting here regularly (hopefully), so be sure to check back often. The site is still currently being worked on, so if you encounter any problems please let me know by using the contact page.
Oh and another thing, I’m going to create a questions page answering all types of questions people have for me. I’ll also be making a page displaying comments/emails/personal messages I receive which I find interesting, funny or just stupid. You can ask me questions by replying in the comment section of this post or on the links below.
