The Opium Trade and Global Accountability

This chapter explores the historical context of the opium trade in the 1800s and critiques the modern-day implications of organizations like the World Health Organization, which some argue operate under shielding legal protections. It examines the connections between high-profile philanthropy, lack of accountability in public health, and the influence of fear in political dynamics. Ultimately, the chapter advocates for personal agency and encourages a critical dialogue about transparency and the structures of control in society.
