I know he is a weird libertarian anarchist (agorist or some other nonsense). But his documentary series “How Big Oil Conquered the World” is really good, and showed me how entrenched oil really is in absolutely everything and how that was engineered by really a handful of people. Sure, if it wasn’t them, it’d be other people. But still, they did do it.

I was thinking recently about the “Rockefeller Medicine” episode, and how John D Rockefeller and Carnegie basically invented the modern pharmaceutical industry, and the vaaaaast majority of medicine nowadays is actually based on oil, petrochemicals.

For some reason, I decided to just ask chatGPT about it and the shitbot actually just repeated all the crazy conspiracy-sounding facts (Corbett always backs his claims with a lot of records and sources, one of the main reasons I like him actually) that I had watched in the “Rockefeller Medicine” episode years ago.

Like “John D. Rockefeller's influence was pivotal in shaping the modern medical and pharmaceutical landscape. By funding education reforms, research institutions, and early petrochemical studies, he helped create a system that prioritized synthetic, petroleum-based drugs. This legacy continues to impact the industry today, as petrochemicals remain a cornerstone of pharmaceutical production.”

That’s the conclusion from chatGPT.

So I guess this is all very public knowledge. But still no one knows, no one talks about it. People never discuss how 90%+ of the medicine they take and are dependent on is literally based on and requires oil. Like it is MADE of oil. And natural medicine was discredited by Rockefeller. Holistic medicine etc. Now it’s all made of oil.

Anyways, James Corbett has many great series with lots of sources for everything. He’s a crazy libertarian, but a good journalist 👍
