Retired smuggler David McMillan, author of Unforgiving Destiny, presents his True-Crime playlist:

This is the most intriguing YouTube channel I've ever come across. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. This is priceless.

This world is a treacherous and sad place, something I wish I'd really known many years ago.

[DavidMcMillan]

And to you, this Easter Sunday. A huge roast in the oven, and holiday house-fixin’ plans evaporating. Hope you’re eating well.

David, you are a great Narator! Your style and voice would make a great bestseller for audio books. Keep up the good work!

This felt like an except from a 'How to Spy' manual - loved it

A video from David at Easter is really rather apt. I've lost count of how many times he has come back from the dead, and they're just the stories he IS willing to share!! Advice worth it's weight in gold or any other profitable commodity. ❤

Always great to see and listen to David, always interesting and entertaining. Happy Easter David

*regrets suggesting meeting at maccies and buying a happy meal next to the choochoo train with hamburgular ...*
Sound advice, never stop learning and condensed teaching is a great source!!! Have a great day!

First thought, wtf is this seemingly unassuming but silently menacing, quiet man? Then I couldn't tear my eyes away. This requires further investigation lol.

[parlance.electricco]

3:15 I am genuinely stunned at this man's ability to casually talk and walk backward at the same time. I sense one of my weaknesses has been brought to the fore by witnessing this feat. It might be time for me to agonize over the feasibility of my planned future as a secret agent.

Congrats on the algorithm finally favouring these little pearls of wisdom

Re: reading faces, dear David, your face speaks to me of discernment and intention. Ty for video !

[Mtmonaghan]

You can only live going forwards in time, and only tell of it going the other way. Go with the gut, that is where all your past resides.

[Mynx]

Thank you, dear David. Sage advice delivered as only you can. Ultimate respect, much love❤

[timothykuring]

Wow, I do a lot of that by instinct, without attempting to fool anyone, they usually fool themselves.
