Nice article! Well written and so coherently on point, even across the disparate sources. Excellent.
Re tobacco:
"I think that Tobacco wrote the playbook that Pharma (and Bio-“defence”) has picked up, scaled and perfected." Nope. Tobacco likely learned what they did from the processed sugar industry. A great introduction to the topic is "The Case Against Sugar" by Gary Taub. John Yudkin, the author of the 1960s book on sugar, "Pure, White and Deadly" was destroyed by the industry and media. Stan Glantz, the lawyer who finally won against tobacco has been introduced to the processed sugar industry, said: (@34:00min) "The amazing thing I learned from her [Kristen Cousins, sugar industry researcher], was that strategies that I thought that the tobacco companies had made up back in the 50s actually some of those the sugar people had done even before that." CBC The Fifth Estate
And you also brought a big smile to my face with: 'But "they" exist, that’s for sure, and for those of us who were asleep to their existence (that’s me with my hand up) we aren’t asleep anymore."
Yup, I related, to that. And yet for me it was in an even less honourable way. Ignorance is not a great excuse, of course, and yet it is what it is. I turned my back on 'government bad' after having become aware of it. I didn't pretend it didn't exist, I knew it was bad. I simply stopped looking, and so avoided seeing how bad it was. And to people who asked me about 'conspiracies' I would glibly comment: 'the top 5% own 95% of everything. (That was in the 1990s, early 2000s.) What about the top 1% of those? They know each other, and what they think is the best thing to do, they will do and everyone will follow. Is that a conspiracy, or just a concentration of power?' And then I would carelessly comment, 'And greed is more stupefying than sex. And once all the wealth has been taken by the greedy, there will be blood as the haves will redistribute it one way or the other. History is pretty blunt about that. We are seeing an acceleration of that pooling. I just hope I am dead before it happens.' (Well, here I am. Life does have a wicked sense of humour. )
*That* glib comment was informed by my having completed an extended minor in economics, after which I spent years researching economics as our age's biggest religion, which became a pair of short courses I called 'Economics Debunked' and 'Banks Skanks.' That attitude may have been in part informed by having stumbled into a nice little book called "None Dare Call it Conspiracy" by Gary Allen and Larry Abraham at a very young age. Anyway, the book made sense, to me, and pointed out glitches in the machine. I was too young to know what to do with the information, and I was too busy recovering from PTSD from childhood at the time, anyway.
I assuage my not having gone beyond what I did to wake people up or, more importantly, to dig more deeply into the 'cabal', in order to heal from the brutality of a brutal childhood, and then the more hidden brutality of this, our almost perfectly functioning example of a bully system from school into work and most of our understandings of what 'normal' is constituted. Now I have an ability to fight that did not then.
Welcome to the Bhagavad-Gita. Nice to be here with you. Gracias.
A few years back a guy I know asked if I wanted any books. It seems his late cousin had graduated from West Point and spent his life as career military. He explained his cousin had been to dinner parties with the likes of Oliver North and other big names.
The widow was getting rid of things she had no use for.
Anyway, I got into the books and wow--- he had hand-written notes and observations in the margins.
It struck me as funny this material would have a lot of people thinking you belonged to the tin-foil hat crowd. And this guy is seeing things that really bothered him and making connections.
He didn't think it was insane---he was bothered by it.
I was just going to write something along the same lines regarding the sugar industry when I saw your comment. You are spot on.
I am grateful for all the enlightenment shared on Substack essays such as this, including personal observations and links to other resources such as "None Dare Call it Conspiracy". I'll be adding that one to my list of must-reads. Thank you for sharing.
Hello SraSally. I didn't share my personal experience of 'coming off sugar.' On hindsight, the one of the two most singularly important changes in my life. And that does not include the day I began daily yoga, that changed my life, nor the day I learned pranayama, that upshifted me in a huge quantum leap into a 'natural' vegetarian – that is another story. The two real biggies were stopping sugar and stopping ALL news and ultimately TV.
The yoga practice and breath practices until then, were cleaning out the distress and fear and main source of disease I was bringing in and working to connect to the truth of spirit within. Once TV and processed sugar were gone, OMG, then the process of healing and returning to strength truly began. I will stack about my experience of stopping sugar. I mention there how much not watching TV was effective in keeping me initially jab free. Stopping sugar is also important.
hola fred. i have seen references to it after i began my own sugar excursion. i haven't read it, just reviews and comments about it. it looks like a great read as well.
ahhh! macrobiotics. my spouse took a yin-yang cooking class (aka macrobiotic). we have incorporated a tiny few principles from it that made sense to us. and those few things we do makes truly delicious vegetarian meals when we incorporate them for a change of pace.
all the best with what is changing. everything changes! peace, respect, love and exuberant joy.
There are several Substacks I really look forward to, yours being one of them. I recently purchased "Agnotology: The Making & Unmaking of Ignorance" after reading essays by you and Toby Rogers. I think I could be a full-time student just following up and reading/watching the links other people post. It's quite an education. Thank you!
Tobacco like the auto regulations is more nuanced, and in a sense critical to the state society has reached with the “trust the experts” dependency… turns out that the tobacco plant draws heavy metals up from the soil, the result is a cancerous product, however tobacco grown under the proper conditions has no such effect. It is the fertilizers used that carry heavy and radioactive elements that contribute to the cancer effect. Interestingly enough tobacco plants were used around Chernobyl to mitigate some of the toxicity.
Tell the average person this fact and they might take it into account, but they will likely not continue on a path to rectify the lie, because “tobacco causes cancer” indoctrination is so deeply established in the social narrative.
Dr. Ardis has recently published that proper studies have shown that *nicotine* is not the addictive element in Tobacco. He also pointed out that in the middle of the pandemic, the world health authorities lied about smoking and hospitalisations and death: smokers were only actually 5% of those and the health authorities said 95%. Then those health agencies around the world began stop smoking campaigns and removing vaping products with nicotine. Biden signed a bill looking to remove nicotine from tobacco by 2025(?).
Why? Nicotine is the best agent to clear the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors of one of the ingredients that has been used and/or is present in the injection and possibly other places.
One suggestion on the addictive substance I read that I find compelling is that it is cadmium…the high levels make the person brittle like the element itself, once they get on the cycle it is difficult for them to function without the higher levels that mask the toxicity of the other heavy metals that have been accumulating in the body.
To develop and instigate a new Technocratic world spanning totalitarian paradigm, as Bucky Fuller once spoke to, requires replacement of the old. The old, their old debt as money enslavement system, must be made to appear a failure, and it is, as well as made to fail. This is what we are currently under going at the hands of a conspiratorial pyramid cap. They know damn well exactly what they are doing. This truth of matters runs deep just as the distractions and obfuscation as cover for this truth must be equally layered to hide what is going down until the sequential and incremental reveal. The "old," our old, is the Rule of Law which places limitations on the pyramid cap's prerogatives. The Rule of Law was developed in western culture and cemented in place over centuries as basic indefeasible human rights: being no extrajudicial killing, no indefinite detention or excessive fines or other unusual punishments, no torture, an independent judiciary and others. Can we all see how these rights once abrogated even in the slightest degree opens the door for these human rights total destruction. Or why we, the peoples of western civilization, are marked above other peoples for societal remake/destruction of the 'old' as in the cap's 'reset.' All the rest is cover for the cap's desired return to the divine right to rule as they see fit to rule. It is my belief that only a revolt will set the course of the human experience back on the correct path with the removal of the cap and the omnipotent power they exercise through their ownership/control of the money creation business. This god like power being taken from them and finally after millennia put in the hands of the people. Who now is talking about money and who should control its issuance when talking agnotology?
Thank you for calling my attention to Toby's piece. I've been swamped recently, so it would have taken me weeks to find the article, assuming I could have ever managed to do that.
Fantastic article. Regarding manufactured ignorance, I can recommend a book and a speech. The book is "Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television" by Jerry Mander, published in 1977. Mother Earth News has excerpts if you want to get a taste before you buy. I first read this book thirty years ago, and all of Mr. Mander's predictions have come true. Aldous Huxley gave a speech on March 20, 1962 at the Language Center in Berkeley. Here is the transcript: https://ce399.wordpress.com/2010/06/29/aldous-huxley-at-uc-berkeley-1962-transcript/
This quote from the speech summarizes Huxley's predictions: "It seems to me that the nature of the ultimate revolution with which we are now faced is precisely this: That we are in process of developing a whole series of techniques which will enable the controlling oligarchy who have always existed and presumably will always exist to get people to love their servitude."

Thank you Guy, for such a great and informative comment.
I'm glad you corrected me on the tobacco/sugar connection. That makes perfect sense.
Thanks for all the great book references too, I've added them to my resource list.
There was also a sequel to NDCIC.

yes. i have remembrances of those kinds of discussions around my family's dinner tables. i had forgotten about that!

Did you ever see the book "Sugar Blues" by William Dufty?
It inspired my teenaged brother to kick sugar. Its a lovely read anyway, even if the author got off into macrobiotics.

Wow!
Beautifully gathered together explanation of the two whirled views and the daily balancing act we have to navigate
Thank you
I published my first article on Substack yesterday
You may find it of interest, I introduce a new way of thinking about lung physiology and what we really breathe
Thank you Jane, and welcome to Substack!
A gripping read, well done.
Thank you!

That's great, thank you Andy!
For both the book nod, which I haven't come across, and the transcript.
Do not be surprised if this inspires its own article.
ignorance is from ignore ... not to apply /consider know ledge [ which is foolish in most cases ] ie gnosis to know
