Discovery makes many mistakes
I watched a Discovery show recently about some Island, near Peru I think, that confirms the 2012 stuff. It was so ridiculous I checked it out later and found that it was not just hard to believe it was total BS.
"The Colony" is along the lines of the Washington prison experiments and a certain amount of staging is necessary since all participants know that the danger is not real.
They definitely went too far with the pig fat fuel.
