1/ Since you asked, and I love your work, I'll tell you.
This is a professional political attack. Three waves one right after the other is not a coincidence. Good spacing, good timing, so it's absolutely professional.
2/ The video compilation of Rogan saying the n-word was dropped by @patriottakes 6 days ago. You see the video in the tweet in pic 1, and patriottakes takes credit for "republishing" the information in pic 2.
That they take credit is important and you'll see why shortly...
Well, they are a professional political organization. In fact, they are a Democrat "Super PAC" (more on that in a moment) run by 3 brothers
4/ Ben, Brett, and Jordan Meisales.
All of them have worked in media and have expertise in understanding and manipulating Media.
The most important thing for us is that Brett was a social media manager for Ellen Degeneres, and is an expert editor. Which matter because...
6/ @patriottakes works with @MeidasTouch, and I'd say it's a safe bet that given their expertise in social media management that the n-word video was created by Meidastouch.
BUT WE ARE NOT DONE.
MeidasTouch is a Super PAC.
Well, what's a super PAC you ask?
Well....
7/ A Super PAC is political advocacy group with a special twist: "super PACs may raise unlimited sums of money from corporations, unions, associations and individuals, then spend unlimited sums to overtly advocate for or against political candidates." (opensecrets.org)
8/ This means that a Super PAC can take in unlimited amounts of money, and then spend however they want politically.
Meidastouch is a SuperPAC. They can take in as much cash as theg want. 4.7 million for the 2020 cycle and 1.5 Million for the 2022 cycle to be exact.
Now....
9/ To recap: Meidastouch, a SuperPAC which can collect as much cash as it wants from pretty well anywhere, and is a professional strategy and media firm run by people with deep ties in entertainment, likely had a hand in the n-word video @patriottakes used to attack Joe Rogan...
10/ So the question is....why?
Why are they doing this, and what do they have to gain?
I think a clue can be found in the letter @patriottakes wrote about all of this.
Look at that highlighted part. What does that tell you??? What does that look like to you????
11/ Patriottakes is bragging about their millions of views and how they made the video the center of the national conversation.
They are bragging about their CLOUT
Rogan is the one guy the leftists can't cancel. If a group could cancel Rogan it would be a MASSIVE show of power
12/ Woke people and legacy media groups have been trying to cancel Rogan for ages because he steals their audience and doesn't play by their rules.
Rogan also offers his enormous platform to people like Jordan Peterson that woke progressives in media circles really don't like...
13/ The group that takes out Rogan would gain a lot of clout and a **lot** of power.
The group that can say "we cancelled Rogan. If we can get him, we can get you too," would be able to swing a very large stick.
And that's what this is ultimately about, it's a play for power.
14/ In short, Meidastouch is a political SuperPAC that is very likely behind the @patriottakes account. They're attempting a viral hit on Joe Rogan so they can take him out both because they don't like him and because they want monetizeable clout for having done so...
If every person who Joe helped lut said "we are with him and we will tell our audiences to cancel spotify if they cancel Joe" this would be over in a day.
The next thing...
16/ If everyone won't stand up, we need brave leople to lead organic pushback.
@BretWeinstein has been doing this with his "thanks Joe Rogan" hashtage
17/ It needs to be made clear to slotify that if they cave they will pay a significant cost.
We have to make that clear.
They need to pay a cost for this.
If we can do those things I think we can protect a guy who has done so much for so many.
/fin
PS/
Just in case anyone still thinks the attack on Rogan was organic, we have pre-made scripts out there about cancelling Rogan, and they're the same word for word. That ain't organic 👇👇👇
PPS/
Meidastouch absolutely advises and works with Patriottakes, and by their own admission meidastouch helps patriottakes with strategy, building and boosting their fundraising profile.
This is all professional, and so was the hit on Rogan.

1/ Centene is a $155 Billion Dollar Healthcare corporation. They specialize in administering government healthcare programs like Medicare and Medicaid.
Centene runs their entire business using DEI, ESG, and "sustainability" frameworks created by progressive activists
A thread🧵
2/ Centene uses and ESG framework to run their entire business. ESG is a framework that makes it easier for companies to get capital (loans, credit, etc) if they have policies that align with the "Environments, Social, and Governance" priorities of the ESG score creators.
3/ The creators of ESG are all-in on Climate Change and DEI, and accordingly the ESG framework that Centene uses reflects those priorities.
Because of how ESG works, If Centene doesn't do all of this, they will get a low ESG score and have a harder time getting access to capital
Conspiracy theories are the rights' version of Critical Theory
Critical Theory says hidden/unnoticed systemic forces (discourse, capitalism, racism, etc) control people - Conspiracy theorists say hidden/unnoticed cabals of powerful people control people
It's the same structure
In both cases there is some hidden or unnoticed thing that is controlling people in ways they don't realize, and is operating against the interests of the people being controlled.
And in both cases the solution is to "wake up" and learn to see the forces that are controlling you
Both critical theory and conspiracy theories use a large dose of "connect the dots" sort of reasoning to make their case, and they both invoke a very high degree of cynicism towards mainstream explanations that don't appeal to hidden forces ("That's what they want you to think!")
1/ UnitedHealth Group is a *$379.5 BILLION dollar* healthcare corporation that's gone completely woke:
-Sex Change surgeries for minors
-Hormone Therapies for teens
-DEI programs and training
-Employee groups segregated by race
Let me show you how deep the rot goes
A Thread🧵
2/ Let's begin with sex change surgeries for teenagers.
UnitedHealthcare's Gender Dysphoria Treatment Policy allows Sex Change Surgeries up to a year before a person turns 18, if the person has 1 year of hormone therapy.
That means starting hormones at 16 and surgery at 17
3/ It gets worse.
UnitedHealthcare has different Medical Policies for different states. In states like New Jersey and Pennsylvania, the medical policy has *NO* explicit minimum age requirement for sex change surgery.
I repeat: *NO* explicit age limit for sex-change surgery.
1/ Trinity Health is a $20 BILLION dollar healthcare company with a DEI program which tells employees that society is systemically racist and racism is a "public health crisis"
They might be the most woke healthcare provider in America. Lets see how deep the rot goes
A Thread🧵
2/ Trinity Health is a HUGE not-for-profit corporation.
They have $23.9 BILLION dollars in revenue each year, and they have gone all in on "Critical Social Justice" (AKA: woke), as evidenced by the fact they implemented DEI across the entire company, including all services
3/ Trinity Health is also going all-in on "Health Equity."
In Critical Social Justice/woke "equity" means "Adjusting shares so citizen A is equal to Citizen B." This means that they are going to try to "fix" social inequality by giving resources to groups seen as oppressed.
1/ Head Start is a $12 BILLION dollar early childhood education program that's been hijacked by activists who use it to indoctrinate kids.
Head Start says *babies* and 4 year-olds are racist, implements DEI, and has "Challenging conversations about race" with Kids.
A Thread🧵
2/ The Head Start program thinks that education is systemically racist, and believes that this systemic racism causes non-whites to become sick because systemic racism is a "social determinate of health for children"
3/ The program also asks teachers and administrators to implement the program through a lens of racial equity.
Equity is not *EQUALITY*
Equity is about equality of outcomes, not opportunity. In practice it takes resources from one racial group and gives them to other groups.
1/ The medical system has been hijacked by woke activists who use its resources to pursue a political agenda while ignoring evidence, and making treatment decisions based on the "Gender Unicorn"
Let me show you how deep the rot goes.
A Thread🧵
2/ Universal Health Services is one of the largest health care providers in the U.S.
They made DEI a central component of UHS, and they "invest in hiring people from certain targeted groups" which just means hiring people based on race or gender identity to meet unstated quotas
3/ Two of the major hospitals in the UHS network have also implemented DEI training and hiring practices geared towards "education on diversity, equity and inclusion" and "disseminating DEI information to all staff."
This is using medical resources to political/ideological ends
