Shipbreaking Exposed: The Dark Truth Behind Cruise Ship Waste, Greed, and Human Exploitation

Welcome to Episode 4 of The Unfiltered Kiwi & Co., where we dive headfirst into the truth — raw, unfiltered, and this time, rust-covered.

In this livestream, Danny de Hek — also known as The Crypto Ponzi Scheme Avenger — takes on Business Insider’s @BusinessInsider viral exposé: “How Rich Nations Dump Old Cruise Ships and Oil Tankers in Developing Countries.” https://youtu.be/hQVNtXIy3B4 It’s one of the most visually striking and emotionally charged documentaries on the shipbreaking industry, filmed in Pakistan’s infamous Gadani Yard.

But is everything in this documentary accurate? Is it biased? Overblown? Selective?

*LET’S BREAK IT DOWN. TOGETHER.*

🛠️ What to Expect in This Episode:

- A full debunk and breakdown of the claims made in Business Insider’s video
- Behind-the-scenes research from Danny’s own attempts to visit Bangladesh’s Chittagong Ship Breaking Yard
- Frame-by-frame analysis of the documentary’s language, shots, and emotional cues
- Discussion on loopholes, flag-of-convenience manipulation, and toxic export tricks
- Questions about the ethics of storytelling in viral journalism
- Audience participation — drop your reactions live and help analyse it in real time
- A possible guest appearance from someone with industry knowledge (TBC)

🗺️ *WHY THIS MATTERS:*

Danny has personally researched the shipbreaking industry — including efforts to gain access to the Chittagong Ship Breaking Yard in Bangladesh. What he found was secrecy, inaccessibility, and an industry that doesn’t exactly welcome outsiders with cameras. That’s what makes Business Insider’s footage so rare... and potentially suspicious.

This episode explores what’s real, what’s selectively framed, and what’s missing from the narrative — with Danny’s usual dose of dry humour, deep scrutiny, and Kiwi no-nonsense.
