They Don’t Want You to Know
Inside the Greatest Myths Ever Sold

by James Johnson

Dedication

For the ones who almost believed it.
And the ones who still do.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS


TO EVERY YOUTUBER, preacher, pusher, podcaster, and PowerPoint conspiracist who ever tried to sell me the story.
Thanks for the entertainment. And the warnings.
This book couldn’t exist without you.

To my friends and readers, the smart ones who think twice and the brave ones who change their minds.
Y’all are the real truth movement.
