Platform Offers Joe Rogan $100 Million Deal With Commitment to ‘No Censorship’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Video-hosting platform Rumble is offering famed podcaster Joe Rogan a $100 million deal to leave Spotify and appear exclusively on the upstart YouTube competitor. The offer arrives amid Rogan facing calls from the cancel culture mob to remove him from Spotify over alleged misinformation regarding the Chinese coronavirus, and more recently, his past usage of the N-word during podcast episodes.

“We stand with you, your guests, and your legion of fans in desire for real conversation. So we’d like to offer you 100 million reasons to make the world a better place,” Rumble said in a statement on Monday.

“How about you bring all your shows to Rumble, both old and new, with no censorship, for 100 million bucks over four years?” the video-sharing platform added in its statement. “This is our chance to save the world. And yes, this is totally legit.”

Spotify already has a $100 million exclusive deal with the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. The deal, however, includes the censorship of certain episodes of Rogan’s podcast.

Rogan has been under attack ever since hosting two guests — Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Robert Malone — on his podcast, who “have an opinion that’s different from the mainstream narrative” regarding coronavirus-related issues, he said.

Ghislaine Maxwell Prosecutors Demand Her Retrial Request Be Public

/0 Comments/in , /by

Prosecutors in the sex trafficking trial of Ghislaine Maxwell told the judge on Friday that her request for a retrial must be made public.

“The government respectfully submits that the defendant has not justified her sealing request and, accordingly, the defense motion and its exhibits should be publicly docketed,” prosecutors told Manhattan federal court judge Alison Nathan.

Maxwell filed the request for a new trial under seal last month.

The former girlfriend of late billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was convicted in December on five of six counts, including transportation of a minor with intent to engage in illegal sexual activity and the most serious charge against her, sex trafficking of a minor.

Now, however, Maxwell’s defense team is requesting a new trial after a juror said in media interviews that he was personally a victim of child sexual abuse, a fact he may not have disclosed during jury selection.

Trump Reveals the First Thing He Would Do if He Became President Again

/1 Comment/in , , /by

In an interview last week, former President Donald Trump said that the first executive action he would take if he were president again would be to complete the wall at the southern border.

A report from the The Epoch Times noted that the former president made the remark on EpochTV’s “Kash’s Corner” on Jan. 31. The interview will air in its entirety this week. When asked what he would do if he took office again, Trump said that he would follow through with completing the border wall because it would enhance the nation’s security as well as send an image of strength to other world leaders, such as China’s Xi Jinping.

“First of all, the wall, even for him [Xi Jinping]” Trump answered. “You know why? Because when he sees millions of people pouring into our country, he loses respect for our country.”

“When him and Putin and Kim Jong Un and Iran’s leaders, when they’re watching millions of people walk into our country…they lose respect,” he added. (Read more from “Trump Reveals the First Thing He Would Do if He Became President Again” HERE)

Ill Effects of Lockdowns Are Far Greater Than Any Benefits

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new study from Johns Hopkins University’s Institute for Applied Economics supports what I and others have long maintained: Lockdowns do not work, and their economic, social, educational and psychological costs far outweigh any health benefits they might bring.

Early in the pandemic, epidemiological modelers predicted catastrophic casualties that could be averted only with stringent lockdown measures. In response, nearly every country around the world imposed lockdown measures by the end of March 2020. Yet little evidence existed to support such actions, and the modeling studies were fatally flawed.

Now the Hopkins literature review and meta-analysis, by professors Jonas Herby, Lars Jonung and Steve Hanke, finds that lockdowns — “defined as the imposition of at least one compulsory, nonpharmaceutical intervention (NPI)” such as school and business closures and limitations on movement and travel — “had little to no effect on COVID-19 mortality.” . . .

The authors reviewed thousands of studies and culled 34 that had reliable and sufficiently relevant data to review. The results were mixed: Several studies found no statistically significant effect of lockdowns on mortality; other studies found a significant negative relationship between lockdowns and mortality; and others found a significant positive relationship between lockdowns and mortality — i.e., that lockdowns actually increased COVID-19 deaths from COVID-19.

When the authors performed a meta-analysis — a statistical technique that combines the results of multiple studies addressing the same question and uses the pooled data to draw conclusions — they found that lockdowns failed to show a large significant effect on COVID-19 mortality: “the effect is little to none.” (Read more from “Ill Effects of Lockdowns Are Far Greater Than Any Benefits” HERE)

Standup comedian Heather McDonald collapsed during a show in Tempe, Arizona, on Saturday night.

The 51-year-old star took to her Instagram story on the night of Feb. 5 to address fans from the hospital. . .

She then explained that she “passed out on stage.” . . .

The star’s reps told Phoenix’s NBC outlet that she “may have lost consciousness because of dehydration” and suffered a skull fracture from the fall. . .

Citing eyewitnesses, TMZ reports that at the top of the show, the comic told a joke about coronavirus vaccines and fell to the floor. According to the outlet, many thought the collapse was part of an act. (Read more from “After Saying She’s Been Triple-Vaxxed, Comedian Falls and Fractures Skull” HERE)

The Biden Administration Is Preparing to Regulate Bitcoin

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration is preparing to draft Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency regulations.

“The Biden administration is preparing to release an initial government-wide strategy for digital assets as soon as next month and task federal agencies with assessing the risks and opportunities that they pose,” Bloomberg reported.

President Joe Biden’s approach could potentially enable the entirety of the federal government’s administrative apparatus to regulate cryptocurrency under the guise of national security.

Bloomberg said, “The late-stage draft of the executive order details economic, regulatory and national security challenges posed by cryptocurrencies. Meanwhile, the directive would also require other agencies to weigh in — carving out roles for everyone from the State Department to the Commerce Department.”

Globally, there are hundreds of millions of people who use cryptocurrency to store and grow their wealth and to make transactions. Largely, the appeal of cryptocurrency is that it is unregulated and not connected to global financial institutions. There are trillions of dollars invested in cryptocurrencies; this asset class was able to grow so rapidly and robustly precisely because there was minimal regulation restricting its growth and use.

What Happened to One Woman in the ‘Metaverse’ Proves Humanity Isn’t Ready for It…at All

/0 Comments/in , , /by

There are many reasons to avoid virtual reality. First, I think it’s a waste of time. Second, there are the injuries. You’ve probably seen the many, many videos of people running into walls, breaking their flatscreens, and outright eating it on the floor when playing this stuff. It’s entertaining for us to watch, sure—but now we have a new problem: gang rape. It’s not real gang rape, but virtual reality, like the real world, allegedly has sexual predators who attacked a woman within a minute of logging into the Meta’s Horizon Worlds. I’ll let you do the rest of the background research regarding this…world but three or four male avatars attacked this woman which prompted a personal boundary to be established so other users can be protected from this virtual…gang rape activity (via NY Post):

Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta is adding a feature to combat virtual-reality harassment days after a woman said she was “virtually gang raped” in the company’s metaverse.

The feature, called “personal boundary,” will prevent other users’ virtual avatars from “invading your avatar’s personal space,” the company formerly known as Facebook said in blog post on Friday.

The feature will be rolled out within Meta’s Horizon Worlds and Horizon Venues virtual reality worlds starting on Friday.

“If someone tries to enter your Personal Boundary, the system will halt their forward movement as they reach the boundary,” Meta said. “We believe Personal Boundary is a powerful example of how VR has the potential to help people interact comfortably.”

When It Comes to Joe Rogan, the Real N-Word That Matters Is ‘No’

/1 Comment/in , /by

The attempt to cancel Joe Rogan has moved through its predictable stages. First, you had a slew of concerned doctors — which included a large number of people who were not, actually, doctors — raise their stethoscopes outside Spotify headquarters about Rogan’s meandering lengthy interviews with people they deem unacceptable sharing their perspectives regarding the Covid pandemic.

This was framed in the press without any regard for the actual expertise of those raising the claims. Nor was there any investigation into whether these people themselves held views now deemed dubious about masking, school shutdowns, economic lockdowns, treatment methods, or how effective the vaccines would be — all of which would be relevant to the veracity of their Rogan critiques. . .

The approach was very obviously an activation of the Cathedral — that is, the organized combination of elite power represented by a priesthood of media, academia, politicians and activist groups all funded by corporate tithes. They cracked open a similar playbook to the many “open letters” which assured the American people the powers that be possessed incontrovertible evidence that Donald Trump was elected via a Russian conspiracy, or that Hunter Biden’s laptop was a fraudulent Russian creation.

The experts are concerned. The media dutifully reports. The institutes release their findings. And the people must listen for our safety and security and the sake of our democracy. The clerisy of the all-powerful woke religion has declared what reality is. So let it be written, so let it be done.

What’s so interesting about the Rogan attack is that, at least initially, it failed. It failed because Rogan occupies a seat of influence and power that is far above his station, from the Cathedral’s perspective. There is power in numbers, and even if they view his listeners as rabble listening to the rambling queries of a barbarian Khan from the steppes, they are too numerous and engaged to not know what’s going on and recognize the playbook for what it is.

Whistleblower Videos Show Systemic Issues With Pennsylvania Elections

/0 Comments/in , /by

According to a new whistleblower video obtained by The Federalist, 80 percent of Delaware County, Pennsylvania precincts lacked a valid chain of custody for the provisional ballots cast in the November 2020 election.

This video and two others just obtained by The Federalist provide further evidence that, while officials continue to deny that irregularities occurred during the last presidential election, there were widespread violations of the election code in the large Pennsylvania county, followed by efforts to cover up those problems.

Regina Miller, a contract worker assisting Delaware County officials, secretly filmed the videos as she helped election employees gather material in response to a “Right to Know Request” that sought documentation to confirm the election results certified by the county.

In one of the several most-recent videos The Federalist obtained from someone familiar with the situation, two employees are speaking. The first woman states, “This is what a provisional bag looks like.” As she continues to explain the process for safeguarding provisional ballots following the close of polls, she notes, “And what we currently do not have is a valid chain of custody for the provisional ballots.”

The shocked whistleblower repeats the claim as a question: “So are you saying we never had a chain of custody?” The other woman replies that only “20 percent of precincts have locked the blue bag in the past,” a reference to the bag in which provisional ballots are to be stored and safeguarded.

University Calls Criticism of China’s Human Rights Abuses Racist

/0 Comments/in , /by

George Washington University (GWU) President Mark Wrighton apologized Monday for an earlier email he sent calling anti-China artwork offensive and vowing to remove the art from campus.

Wrighton initially said he was “personally offended” by posters showing the art, which criticizes China, and he said he was working to have the posters removed and find the person responsible for posting them.

“I treasure the opportunity to work with talented people from all over the world, including China,” Wrighton’s initial email read, according to Badiucao, the artist who designed the posters. “I, too, am saddened by this terrible event and we will undertake an effort to determine who is responsible.”

The posters in question showed Badiucao’s Olympics-themed artwork, which features a snowboarder riding a surveillance camera, an Olympic shooter pointing his rifle at a blindfolded Uyghur Muslim and a curler sliding an animated coronavirus particle.

The school’s Chinese Students and Scholars Association sent out an email claiming the posters had “serious racist views” and carried out “extremely vicious personal attacks on all international students from China and Asian groups,” according to screenshots shared by Badiucao. The email also urged the school to “punish” those who hung up the posters “severely.” (Read more from “University Calls Criticism of China’s Human Rights Abuses Racist” HERE)
