Thank You For Canceling Me, Joe Rogan!
How Rogan's cowardice, Laura Loomer, and Spotify banning me made me cool
I don’t blame Joe Rogan for selling out. In fact I kind of like the cool stuff he bought. So no hate toward Joe. But he has a platform and he has a moral obligation to talk about and fighting these issues. And no, he can’t run from those obligations, even to Texas.
Watch this before it’s deleted off of YouTube. It already was deleted off Spotify for no reason at all.
You will be punished for seeing the future. I saw the future in 2015. You can watch it for yourself here.
But this podcast isn’t allowed on Spotify now that Joe has gotten a $100m deal. Why?
Allow me to venture a guess. Spotify’s new head of content is crazed, far left radical Lydia Polgreen.
Per Variety:
Journalism vet Lydia Polgreen resigned as HuffPost’s editor-in-chief after three years to join Spotify as head of content for podcast studio Gimlet.
In her role at Gimlet, Polgreen will be responsible for overseeing the entire programming slate including strategic planning and setting a creative vision for the studio. She joined Verizon-owned HuffPost in December 2016 after more than a decade at the New York Times.
Polgreen announced her move to Spotify’s Gimlet in a tweet, saying in part, “Gimlet has built the greatest audio team in the world, and I’m so lucky to have the chance to learn from them.” She said she’s been “an audio obsessive since I was a little expat kid glued to the shortwave radio in our kitchen in Kenya, yearning to connect with the far-flung world.” Polgreen said she will start at Brooklyn-based Gimlet later in the spring.
Her content decisions at Huffington Post led to ruining that asset.
There’s also a whiff of the old pay to play. It appears Lydia got the Spotify job after censoring commentary on Huffington Post critical of Spotify.
I’m currently in a lawsuit against Huffington Post for content that Polgreen approved. I’m winning, just as I have a few other defamation lawsuits. I took more half a million from Gawker.

It happens every so often. It happened on July 20th when I bought a Jaguar convertible. I’m currently driving cross country and back in the lovely car. Though I have a radar detector I have already gotten a speeding ticket. I love it. The wind in my hair, the sun shining on my ginger skin.
“Excuse me, sir, but are you the Charles Johnson?”
I winced. I have done a lot in the last few years to hide. I moved to another state. I became one of the best investors of my generation. (More on that at another time.) I got a concealed carry license after antifa threatened to kill me. “You can go to hell and I shall go to Texas,” I told California. Was California following me back Doom-style through the portal like the demon it is?
I had declared myself a refugee to any and all Texans who would have me. I moved to Montgomery County, not Austin or Dallas. I moved to Texas with a capital T.
One of the main reasons was that I intended to sue the media which had lied about me and made my life miserable and there was no better place than the only county in America that had voted for Trump by more than 100,000 votes. This here’ll be my Alamo, I said to myself.
But the Hispanic American car dealer’s voice conveyed no notice as to whether or not he were friend or foe. So I admitted it.
“I heard you on Rogan awhile back. I love it. You were awesome, man.”
I appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast back in April 2015, more than five years ago. Neither Joe nor I knew how successful we would yet become.
Truthfully I rolled out of bed and went to the interview. My then wife knew who Joe Rogan was. She watched him on Fear Factory.
I don’t support Rogan’s brand of degeneracy. Sure, you should be free to hunt and as a refugee to Texas I support people’s right to hunt but I owe guns to protect my liberty not to eat wild bores or sport shoot. I’m not keen on MMA fighting. Rogan has tried to play it both ways, claiming he has left-wing views.
DoN’t BrInG YoUr DeGeNeRaCy To TeXaS, jOe!
Joe Rogan has now joined me in Texas. I met Joe Rogan and carried on a lengthy correspondence with him that would no doubt get him canceled were I to reveal its contents.
I was banned for life Twitter. Joe still talks
But he won’t have anyone on who got banned by Spotify. Why is that Joe?
****
Five and a half year I was banned for life from Twitter for criticizing Black Lives Matter’s tendency to cause riots. I was right, of course.
A bit later Laura Loomer was banned for life from Twitter for criticizing Ilhan Omar for marrying her brother and committing immigration fraud. She was right, of course.
We were both right. We warned you all that the censorship was coming and we were mocked. We were even mocked by frauds like Ben Shapiro who is palling up with Mark Zuckerberg to censor his rivals. Here’s the Journal story by Deepa Seetharaman and Emily Glazer.
Mr. Zuckerberg also has forged ties with right-leaning publishers that drive engagement on the platform, including Ben Shapiro, co-founder of the Daily Wire and a Trump supporter, people familiar with the matter say. The conservative news site has been flagged repeatedly by Facebook’s fact-checkers for sharing falsehoods and distortions. But it is frequently among the most popular on the platform based on user interactions, according to CrowdTangle, a Facebook-owned analytics tool.
Mr. Zuckerberg invited Mr. Shapiro to dinner at his house last year, the people said. While the two aren’t friends, they sometimes discuss broader political and philosophical themes, the people added, many of which they disagree on.
Mr. Shapiro said in a statement that he doesn’t comment on people he speaks with because many in the media try to “stigmatize open communications between conservatives and anyone who differs politically.”
In late 2017, when Facebook tweaked its newsfeed algorithm to minimize the presence of political news, policy executives were concerned about the outsize impact of the changes on the right, including the Daily Wire, people familiar with the matter said. Engineers redesigned their intended changes so that left-leaning sites like Mother Jones were affected more than previously planned, the people said. Mr. Zuckerberg approved the plans. “We did not make changes with the intent of impacting individual publishers,” a Facebook spokesman said.
Ben mocked Laura Loomer and called me a conspiracy theorist for saying that Big Tech couldn’t be trusted. Ben was in bed with Zuckerberg the entire time.
But you’re not laughing anymore, are you? Do you understand yet who the real leaders are?
Later I sued Twitter for censoring me. I helped Laura sue Twitter, too.
I told Laura Loomer when she sued that we would likely both lose our lawsuits but that we would win the argument.
First they denigrate you, then deplatform you, then they defame you, then they destroy you. The optimal strategy is to bide your time and hide. That is, for now.
Now the Trump Administration has woken up but only after Trump was censored. How sad.
If Trump loses it’ll be because he did nothing about Big Tech. He was warned repeatedly and so he deserves his fate.
There’s a new generation of leadership coming. Let us hope they aren’t too late.
A shame. That’s my favorite episode of Rogan’s podcast!
