Hi there Joe - great article. However I want to point out a few things. As a deaf person who can't hear, I noticed that you used the term "falling on deaf ears" in this paragraph -
"To be clear, this isn’t a sudden admission of extreme danger with aspartame, but an acknowledgement of the uncertainty that exists around it. An uncertainty that has been reported on for many decades, mainly falling on deaf ears and met with ridicule."
Which implies that being deaf is to be willfully ignorant, and so there is a bias there. You say that there is a crisis in our collective sense-making, which from my perspective, you have just embodied exactly that by conflating being deaf with being wilfully ignorant. Sure, there are people who will "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil" but it is a choice. I feel that this phrase contributes to the idea that deaf people in general choose to be ignorant which is ironic.
"It’s also why I wrote this essay calling for an up-levelling of dialogue around controversial issues. We can’t be vague, hyperbolic, and insulting, otherwise, we don’t truly connect and make sense together, we create echo chambers."
I care about truth, I care about respecting one another, and I care about making the world a better place. What does it take to truly live in alignment with those feelings?"
I have been telling people, for at least 30 years, to AVOID aspartame! I used to say it was ingesting rat poison. Call it intuition or whatever but I just knew in my guts that it was dangerous. The same way I knew from day 1 about the lie we have been going through these past 3 years.
I admire your level of critical thinking and your writing!
All of the fraud and collusion throughout the entire system makes sense when you learn that most of the worlds governments are British Crown controlled Municipal government services corporations and City of Rome Municipal government services corporations, both of which are controlled by the Pope and the Roman Curia.
These mammoth sized corporations are under the jurisdiction of the air and are subject to Ecclesiastical Law. Anna Von Reitz has written probably 150 articles since the beginning of 2023 to Cardinal Mamberti and the Vatican Chancery court outlining the fraud and gross criminality that is rampant in these corporations housed in the District of Columbia. Here is just one of many huge revelations that Anna and her research team have brought forth: "The U.S. Army meanwhile morphed into the (Territorial) Department of Defense and then later additionally spawned the Municipal Umbrella Corporation everyone knows as "the DOD" operated by the Pentagon.
This foreign commercial corporation now owns --- literally --- the Territorial Congress, the Secretary of the Treasury, the CIA, DHS, FBI, SEC, the preponderance of the "State" and local Courts (which are all operated within unauthorized "military districts" overlaying our States of the Union), the DOJ, the US Treasury, and virtually every other apparatus of "government" in this country.
And it's all illegal as a three-dollar bill. " Continue reading here:
Did you know that anything with U.S. in front of it is controlled by the British Crown? U.S. Citizen, U.S. Military, U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. National Guard, U.S. Congress etc.
Well now that seems unlikely as the English Crown broke away from the Vatican and established their own version of Catholicism in the Episcopal church. They even declared war on those peasants who wanted to hold onto the RCC.
Yeah, the Church of England did make some rational changes such as allowing ministers to marry and provided all of the pageantry without all of the guilt. The Jews might have invented guilt but the Catholics perfected it. This was a one liner my Jewish father in law once told me. Having been raised Catholic I can vouch for it.
All that aside, I went down the linked rabbit hole and it lead to some very bold allegations. I can agree with those parts I have witnessed yet found little supporting facts. Maybe it is all true. I will do more homework to find out. Glen Beck also had a way of following the money which is a normally highly reliable source to ferreting out bedfellows so to speak.
If I’ve learned anything in the past seven or so years it’s that we cannot trust our government agencies or leaders though I think the average foot soldier is as deceived as the rest of us.
I know “officials” and lettered professionals aren’t keen on being questioned and like any other rank and file breed they are indoctrinated by the system that produces them. Most medical schools are funded (at least partially) by big pharma. For what it’s worth we still don’t fully understand how aspirin works, just that it does. I read somewhere here in substack that the very idea of scientific consensus is ridiculous in that scientists are and always have been in disagreement on just about everything. The whole climate change debacle or new religion is far from accepted scientific fact. The earth is a living thing unto itself. We must be respectful of it and our fellow inhabitants. Beyond that we have little control . Phases of temperature shifts have been ongoing from its formation. This we DO know. I am certain that the people who built now sunken cities were unpleasantly surprised by the rising seas they bordered. Perhaps we should be learning to not build large cities at the waters edge.
Decimating the global economy on the off chance that the climate cultists are correct is impossibly stupid, mean and selfish.
Thanks for this read! I agree 100% with your statement on "promoting a spirit of curiosity."
If we were to take a step back and look at science over the past years, we see that it's become very dogmatic; rules and somewhat religious, as "this is how things have always been." I discuss that in my article on "Religious Tenants," but this is the world that we live in. This is Scientism.
I believe it was Buckminster Fuller who said, "we can't destroy the old world, but we must build a new world so that people come to that new world." To do that, we need the work of "The Pulse" and we also need more and more to wake up to this religious dogma that's clouded our reality. By doing this, we can see advances in all fields, medicine and specifically, true science (I discuss this in the Morphic Resonance Field of the Kyballion)
Looking forward to the great awakening! Here's some links if anyone's interested:
Well said brother! Scientism is indeed a real issue. I like the Buckminster quote as well. I feel that iteration of it feels more accurate than the one I often read about creating a new one that makes the old obsolete. I think that idea works on small scales, but on societal scales it does not. On societal scales there must be transition, and in that way I appreciate the quote you had there instead of the other. :)
Fascinating, thank you for this historical analysis. It must be infuriating in some way to watch all these topics emerge as acceptable to talk about now. I remember my friends thought you guys were really fringey when Id send your articles about UFO research and de-classed docs, and now the mainstream does almost every week. LOL. They don’t notice the paradox.
A buddy of mine and I were talking and the subject of the overall quality of indie media these days came up. I tend to feel things have gotten a bit better, there are some talented people out there like Kim Iverson doing good reporting. But also a lot of inexperienced ppl with large audiences. When I see you guys having lost your spot being one of the top out there I see that as a big loss to the field. I wonder what you guys think of this given your experience you shared in this piece.
You bring up a good question, I'd say I'm on a similar page as you. I think in some ways many people in the game now that are doing great work have transferred over from traditional media and in some ways produce higher quality stuff. That is juxtaposed by people with money and time to produce a lot of content but that isn't very good or well thought out. It is sucking a lot of people in to some extent. Overall I'd say many of the same issues still exist but there are more higher quality voices which is good. I think overall.. improvement. :)
When it comes to being gone from the game for the most part... my honest feeling is.. I think we've done about all we can do and it's time for us to move on to something else. We simply don't get the financial support we require to do this in the way we want to and at this point aren't sure what else to do about it.
very important topic, thank you Joe! do not despair. I firmly trust in people who are revolutionalising their lives through a sound philosophy of life. It all comes down to this. Grass roots movements based on the dignity and sanctity of life.
If I may add, I find your view about somatical awareness very important and to the point. My only concern is that it requires personal training and a meditative state of mind, not so easily accessible to the mass of people. And the key, imho, is everyday people, especially the youth.
I have found all the answers in Nichiren Buddhism through my mentor Daisaku Ikeda and the awesome work of the Soka Gakkai. Its this kind of grass roots movement that changes peoples hearts for the best. Check it out sometime if you like. For i believe only such flowering of the human heart can bring the change we so much desire.

Joe, please Keep up the amazing work, your perspective is so necessary for us to move forward as a collective society. 🙏🏼

Okay, rant finished.
