Is Joe Rogan headed for a terror watch list?


You may think this sounds nutty, but the National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin from the Department of Homeland Security suggests podcaster Joe Rogan could end up on a terror watch list.

DHS claims America is in a “heightened threat environment fueled by several factors, including an online environment filled with false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories, and other forms of mis- dis- and mal-information (MDM)…”

Among the greatest contributors to the current “threat environment,” says the DHS, is the “widespread online proliferation of false or misleading narratives regarding…[what else] COVD-19.”

Bad ideas as the administration defines them on a disease they’ve constantly misled about pose a terror threat. 

And it would seem that public enemy number one here, for the Biden administration, and its allies, is the “horse-dewormer”-hocking, tequila-swigging, Bernie Sanders-supporting, former UFC commentator, standup comedian Joe Rogan.

Rogan, as you likely know since the story has exploded, recently hosted dissenters from Covidian orthodoxy including Drs. Peter McCullough and the then-recently-de-platformed from Twitter Dr. Robert Malone as guests on his podcast. 

Soon thereafter he found himself the subject of a contrived cancel campaign led by, among others, washed-up musicians, non-medical doctors, and the corporate media whose ratings he has crushed.

How can an administration that has flip-flopped on virtually every aspect of the Chinese coronavirus go after others for this so-called MDM?

It’s flipped on a dime on these issues not because “The Science” has changed, but because the politics have changed—because they’re afraid they’re gonna get their clocks cleaned in 2022.

It all goes back to this ongoing war on “wrong thinkers.”

It’s the critics, the dissenters—those who have no monopoly on force, or multi-trillion-dollar budgets, or a press they can coerce into doing their bidding with a wink and a nod—who are the real scourge.

Treating critics as terrorists, and threatening to sic the most powerful, pervasive, sophisticated security state in the history of the world on them has nothing to do with defending democracy through protecting the truth. It’s about intimidating democratic opposition into silence and submission to The Narrative.

The regime believes it has to maintain a monopoly over ideas, to monopolize the American mind, to maintain its monopoly on power.

Joe Rogan threatened that power by having on guests who challenged the regime’s credibility, millions of people heard it, therefore he’s a danger.

The War on Wrongthink at the end of the day isn’t about left or right.

It’s about who rules: A sovereign people, or the elites who deign to lord over us.

The Ruling Class—”defenders of democracy”—sees citizens opposed to its agenda. What does it do? Rather than address our concerns, peaceably, respectfully, legitimately, it calls us terror threats and pursues us accordingly using the full power of the public and like-minded private sectors.

The Ruling Class doesn’t fear MDM—misinformation, disinformation, and mal-information. 

It fears truth spoken openly, honestly, courageously, particularly the truth about its rot, corruption, and incompetence, which calls into question its authority.

If all from unorthodox presidents, to curious podcasters, to caring parents, freedom convoy participants are deemed existential threats to the regime, then how strong is it really?
