Is Rogan Starting to Buckle?
Joe's Conciliatory Tone on Spotify's "COVID Hub" is an Ominous Development
Goddamn it.

Just…goddamn it.
Okay. Collect your thoughts, Sage. Focus…
Fam, this is hard to elucidate. I’m going to try again. Come with me to Cause and Effect-ville. It is not beautiful this time of year.
Refer back to my Matt Taibbi piece about the “Look I’m vaxxed, but…” professional management class identifier, the dog whistle head nod, “Hey, I’m one of you, fellow kids, an Experimental mRNA jab Believer!” but still not down with “(insert free speech, censorship, anti-authoritarian anti-mandate cause here)”.
By now, Dear Reader, if you’ve gamely plowed through my repetitive posts, you know that I view the root lie of the global COVID Fascist State to be about the realities of the jabs. What they are, what they actually accomplish, and their risks: they are not safe, not effective, not vaccines. This is the inconvenient data that Dr. Robert Malone discussed on Joe Rogan, that Dr. Peter McCullough also painstakingly laid out, that Alex Berenson reported and reports…see also, the testimony of Senator Ron Johnson’s hearings, now with 1.6m plus views.

Faced with this unsavory package of reality, what do our “I’m jabbed, but...” skeptics of power choose to do?
Divert and deflect.
They focus on another noble cause, usually FREE SPEECH! And it absolutely is a noble cause, and it is a cause that will be central to “having a discussion” and all that very important shit, but this diversion is keeping us FROM HAVING THE GODDAMNED DISCUSSION RIGHT NOW.
Because you fucking professional management class shitlibs and libertarians got the magical jabs and don’t really want to find out that you now have an agent in your body that is not protecting you, but rather, is potentially wrecking your immune system and clotting your veins. Sorry about that, fam. I genuinely am.
So here we go, taking the fork in the road. Taking the easy off ramp. To shift the focus. By any means necessary.
Averting our eyes, because the sun of truth is too brilliant.
Note that the well intentioned focus shifters, Greenwald, Taibbi, and all their focus shifting pals…are NOT discussing Senator Ron Johnson’s hearings. They are not discussing the data as presented by our verboten experts.
And guess what else they are not talking about? How cheap, effective, already FDA approved treatments that could potentially have saved hundreds of thousands of lives were banned by the Mafia CDC/FDA with both implicit and direct threats to our captured physicians and hospitals. To keep the corrupt EUA logic alive.
And thus, people were sent home to die, rather than be treated when it counted. Get the jab. Just get the jab. Always. Get the jab.
Whether by design or by unhappy accident, this discussion of the root lies of the jabs gets hijacked. Again and again. We can’t get to it. We can’t get to the root. It remains a mirage in the desert, except the mirage is real and it is killing and maiming people.
Marianne Williamson is another one of these fake useful idiots who constantly virtue signals about how shitty the Democratic Party is, but then spends two hours on Katie Halper’s podcast frantically shilling for Joe Biden, (“as though your life depends on it!”) when it comes right down to it.
But this is not about New Agey Guru Oprah Creation Marianne, as much as it is about this maddening and protected Overton Window of acceptable COVID discourse. The Window security guards jump through hoops to get away from the science and data that Dr. Malone and Dr. McCullough presented.
See how clever this is? These gatekeepers manage to shut down the discussion by having another discussion…let’s protect free speech.
Do you see how even “supporting” Joe Rogan’s right to ask tough questions that upset the Daddy Oligarchs ends up being used as a Trojan Horse cudgel to get the MMA announcing heretic back into the club?
And guess what? It’s working. The following is Rogan’s response to Yowling Boomer Rocker Neil Young and a few others screaming into the void like the fucking entitled grabby children that they are about their beloved injections which they want pumped into all arms to make them feel safe.
Joe makes a lot of good points. But then, Joe starts to play ball.
I watched as much as I could before I could see where this is going.
The Spotify COVID-19 Hub is born. And Joe Rogan welcomes it.
I hope Neil Young will remember…
If Joe stops being Joe he will lose some audience. Thinking men and women will not put up with drivel.
Sage, you're right about Joe's conciliation. Neil tried to destroy Joe and should not be easily forgiven.
But I have to ask, how are you going to have your "discussion" about the realities of the jabs if you're not allowed to? Free Speech must exist first. Both issues are of primary importance. The Bill of Rights has been slowly eroded over the last 110 years, accelerated over the last 20. It's that erosion that has enabled them to marginalize the discussion of vaccine safety. We must push on both issues simultaneously, and as the public gradually becomes more aware that these mRNA therapies are not safe, we must constantly remind them we were not allowed to say so.
BTW, I am not in the "fucking professional management class shitlibs and libertarians got the jabs," but am proudly unvaxxed. I said long ago that my ancestors willingly sacrificed their lives for our freedom and the Bill of Rights. At 74, I will not sacrifice the freedom of my kids and grandkids to add 10 or even 20% to my long life.
