The Joe Rogan Controversy Continues. Rogan Gets Canceled. Alternative Platforms Offer New Contracts

The following report is from the Trends Journal:

Last week the Trends Journal noted how a few celebrities and pundits were bucking the corporate-government COVID groupthink (see “KID ROCK, GOLDIE HAWN AND EVANGELINE LILLY ROCKIN’ IN THE FREE WORLD WHILE NEIL YOUNG COWERS”).

It didn’t take long for the Empire to strike back.

Spotify, a leading music and podcast streaming service often used on cellphones and other devices, has removed over one hundred episodes of “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast.

The immediate impetus for the removal was an exodus of Spotify by a handful of music artists, spurred by Neil Young. 

Young, known for rock classics like “Heart Of Gold,” is evidently in mortal fear of catching the virus and dying before he gets even older (he’s 76, closing in on the average age of death for U.S. men).

Calling Rogan’s supposed COVID “misinformation” dangerous, Young, along with old bandmates Crosby, Stills & Nash, and others like Joni Mitchell, gave Spotify an ultimatum to cancel Rogan.

Spotify’s action is a decided step in that direction.

Rogan Another Thorn In The Side Of Elites

“The Joe Rogan Experience” is the number one listened-to podcast in the world.

Rogan exercises influence on a par with Tucker Carlson, which is saying something.

As Rogan has interviewed and entertained more points of view and evidence from different guests concerning the agendas and actual misinformation surrounding everything from COVID therapies to the JFK assassination, the political establishment and MSM media have clearly been growing uncomfortable.

President Joe Biden’s administration recently suggested that more should be done to censor Rogan.

The shipped up controversy extracted an apology from Rogan, who promised more balance on his podcast. 

In other words, Rogan, who helped represent true balance by voicing alternatives to the goose-step propaganda of most media concerning corporate-government narratives, pledged to get in line.

It probably won’t help his cause.

Spotify has so far removed 113 episodes of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” many of them older and taped before his current COVID-19 issue, according to JREMissing, a website that tracks the podcast.

Among the missing episodes are ones featuring well-known conservatives, and ones authorities like to smear and label as “far-right” and “conspiracy theorists,” such as Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes, Michael Malice, Alex Jones, and Milo Yiannopoulos.

Even episodes with outspoken comedians like Rich Vos and Little Esther have disappeared down the memory hole.

Young: Saint Or Slick?

Rolling Stone put out a story about Young spearheading the cancel Rogan effort, with the title “Neil Young Took a Principled Stand. Some Right-Wingers Had Never Seen One Before.”

But the decidedly un-edgy hagiography failed to delve into corporate connections of Young that smell to high heaven.

It was left to Twitter and some 4chan users to expose the dubious links.

Writer Grames Barnby tweeted this fat tidbit about Young’s ties to Blackstone and Pfizer:

Feb 3, Replying to @JoshuaLisec. Never forget @JoshuaLisec.

For every elaborate wall of text work the MSM puts out, one anon from a chan / BBS can destroy it all in single day.

Behold!👇

Grames Barnaby

@overunderwriter.

Feb 3

1) Former Pfizer CEO connection identified with investor group.
2) Neil Young id’d as selling catalogue to investor group.
3) Consequences as dates roll forward for both actors.
4) Top and Bottom Bold Capitalized text surround events with a simple axiom to sum it up.

(see Tweet thread here.)

But the effort against Rogan likely goes deeper, and may be even more coordinated. 

It’s becoming obvious as old footage of Rogan (a comedian active in the 1990’s) making crude racial jokes and using the N-word, is suddenly surfacing, that a cancel campaign is being waged in waves.

Late Breaking: Rumble Makes An Offer

On Monday, the Joe Rogan Spotify saga took another turn when Rumble, the uptrending video streaming service, offered Rogan 100 million dollars over four years to bring all his former podcasts and new shows to Rumble.

Rumble has experienced explosive growth, in significant part, because of censorship taking place on platforms like YouTube, Facebook (now Meta) and Twitter.

A post from Rumble signed by CEO Chris Pavlovski made the proposal to Rogan:

TRENDPOST: Gerald Celente notes that many years ago, musicians—“artists”—used to protest nearly everything governments did. Now they say and do everything governments say and tell them to do.

Joe Rogan is the latest frog being brought to a boil by elitist powers, and his promises to quiet his voice and even act as a platform for approved narratives may only save him on Spotify if he becomes a complete toady of the corporate state.

Other platforms making offers to Rogan is encouraging, and shows what Trends Journal identified as a growing trend of an alternative politically necessitated economy.

But if Rogan really wanted to explode the heads of his enemies, he could respond to the attempt to “Alex Jones” by joining Alex Jones’s InfoWARS network. 

That would be something. It might even result in a COVID vaccine-like case of myocarditis for a certain “Heart Of Gold” singer.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

I have given my thoughts on Joe Rogan in two dedicated reports, and I have said that Rogan is just another goon for the media. This continuing spin cycle in the media, and continually crossing over into the government levels more and more, demonstrates that Rogan has to tow the narrative.

Before I dive deeper, to add onto this story, Rogan, in response to cancel culture, said,

Some of my ideas are not that prepared or fleshed out because I’m literally having them in real time, but I do my best and they’re just conversations, and I think that’s also the appeal of the show. It’s one of the things that makes it interesting. So I want to thank Spotify for being so supportive during this time, and I’m very sorry that this is happening to them and that they’re taking so much from it.

I’m not a doctor. I’m not a scientist. I’m just a person who sits down and talks to people and has conversations with them. Do I get things wrong? Absolutely. I get things wrong, but I try to correct them whenever I get something wrong. I’m interested in finding out what the truth is, and I’m interested in having interesting conversations with people that have differing opinions. I’m not interested in only talking to people that have one perspective.

I will do my best to try to balance out these more controversial viewpoints with other people’s perspectives so we can maybe find a better point of view.

On top of this, former President Donald Trump also chimed in recently on this whole debacle, in context of the media chastising him for making statements deemed racist, that he made many-many years ago:

Joe Rogan is an interesting and popular guy, but he’s got to stop apologizing to the Fake News and Radical Left maniacs and lunatics. How many ways can you say you’re sorry? Joe, just go about what you do so well and don’t let them make you look weak and frightened. That’s not you and it never will be!

But getting back to what I was saying, Joe Rogan is just another change-agent who is directed to say and do certain things. Some of you may remember last year when Rogan openly stated that young people should not get the Covid vax, and the mainstream media tore him apart and Fauci made statements, too. Then Rogan sheepishly responded soon after talking about how he is always drunk and high as a kite on his shows, and how he’s just an idiot who speaks on the fly. There is a line he cannot cross, and had to force retract some statements, or lose his income.

Moreover, not long ago, UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Julianna Peña was recently on his podcast, and openly said she did not believe the narrative the moment it was unleashed in 2020. She openly stated:

I’m a massive conspiracy theorist on this whole thing, and I have been since the very beginning. I’m like, ‘This is just a money grab. This is – they’re trying to kill us, and this is ridiculous.’

Peña said

Rogan, surprised, said:

Whoa. I don’t think they’re trying to kill us. I think there’s a lot of confusion as far as what works and what doesn’t work. … Reality is, there’s a lot of people scared and a lot of confusion, and there’s also a lot of people that don’t want people discussing things. They only want one narrative, and that’s where it becomes a problem for me.

The WP has already proven that Covid is not the killer because it has never been isolated, but, Peña is on the right track: this is all about the depopulation agenda via vaccines, coupled with so many other outside factors working in concert. But Rogan is always quick not to go down that route. Moreover, he, like all the other alternative media “genies” and “saviors,” will not outright condemn the vaccines for all the damage they are doing, along with the non-isolation data that has been proven and admitted in medical journals.

Furthermore, while the media is using Rogan as this “far-right” guy, so many people forget that he used to endorse Bernie Sanders for years, and planned on voting for him in the elections. For international readers who do not know, Sanders is a lifelong communist, who made multi-millions in net-worth, like all communist philosophers and talking heads do, is pontificate about why we need it and make bank on it in a capitalistic society. Free college, free healthcare, debt forgiveness, green new deal malarkey, universal basic income, you name it. And Rogan ENDORSED him for years, openly. He is not “far-right,” clearly, but he is directed to push ideas.

On top of that, he, along with his famous Ju-Jitsu instructor Eddie Bravo, were some of the giants in the media who helped vehemently push the flat earth theory, (Get mad it me if you want, I don’t care), but it cannot be ignored that he really help push that into the limelight and broader audiences.

And the list could keep going. His podcasts are more scripted than people realize, and he has been shown to totally plagiarize people’s work who have tried to get on the show.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
