Good Guy Crusader Role Has Been Subverted

I've been researching the "lead in gasoline" story on and off for the past couple of years. It's a fascinating story for many reasons. Here's the highlights:

• The nascent car business needed to solve the problem of engine knock. It had two candidates: ethanol and tetra ethyl lead.
• Ethanol was a solution in the public domain, so nobody could form a patent protected monopoly on the additive.
• General Motors, Standard Oil, and the duPont family pushed tetra-ethyl lead because they'd make millions on it.
• Problems with lead in gas were well known from the beginning.
• The companies formed "health research" divisions to protect their narrative that lead in gas was harmless.
• Eventually other scientists showed it was harmful and pervasive and as part of a general push to clean up the air, lead was removed from gas in 1986. (It made catalytic converters impossible to use)

Here's a great article about the guy who nuked the lead industry narrative, Clair Patterson.

The interesting thing to me about the whole story of lead is that it's really obvious to see how "things really work". Some oligarchs corrupt everything. They're psychopaths/sociopaths/vampires. They're really defective people, but they end up at the core of some overall industrial or business endeavor that's carried out by technocrats, scientists, and engineers who succumb to temptation for love of fame or money and do evil.

They don't give two fucks if what they're doing is harmful or not. They pay the media and "experts" to get the results that they want. They structure the law and control the government to such an extent that they won't face any retribution for deliberate malice.

The interesting thing about this story with respect to the whole vaccine/covid drama that's unfolding today is the oligarchs completely hijacked the "good guy crusader" role. That apparatus that cleaned up the air and took lead out of gas is now run by the oligarchy vampires. A puppet like Fauci is just the equivalent of a villain in the leaded gas drama, like Dr. Robert Kehoe. (he was an expert who said lead in gas was safe as a career)
