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.

Why did Pro-Palestine protestors burn an American flag at a WW1 monument as a protest against Israel you ask?
Because woke support for Palestine is actually about signaling support for anything *counter-hegemonic* to American Culture and western values.
The Woke split everything into oppressor and oppressed, and thus see America specifically, and the west generally as oppressors
According to woke theory, America and the west maintain their oppressive power through "cultural hegemony" - control and dominance over the culture...
through the control and ownership of the the means of cultural production and dissemination.
The woke think America's cultural power is very bad because it allows America to spread and legitimize American and western values on the world stage, while rejecting other values....
The woke say part of white privilege not seeing yourself as having a white identity.
The woke want whites to adopt a white identity because they think adopting white identity is the first step to white people acknowledging the "white privilege" that comes with white identity...
The woke want *EVERYONE* including white people to develop "racial consciousness," to adopt a racial identity, and to then use that identity and consciousness to locate themselves in the social hierarchy of oppression. (the woke call this acknowledging your "positionality")
The same is true of "gender." The goal of getting everyone to adopt consciousness and identity around race, sex, gender, ability status, etc, is to get everyone to play identity politics according the woke rules, and integrate EVERYONE into the identity politics narrative
1/
Want to know how Woke activists take over buildings, smash windows, trash university campuses, and still have the press call them "non-violent"?
Well, as it turns out these are well trained activists using intelligent, highly developed tactics.
Here's a primer:
2/ First off: none of this is spontaneous.
IE: The protestors in the video going around have shields. (pic 1)
In 2020 we learned these shields can take hours to make and are made by volunteers working all day. You don't do that spontaneously. It takes planning. (pics 2 +3)
3/ Here's a thread on the shields used during the 2020 Portland protests. They are well built and are distributed to those wishing to engage in "direct action" (AKA violence and vandalism).
Not all shields are built like this, but this is typical:
1/ The United States government has been completely hijacked by woke activists.
The National Center for Environmental Health, which works with the CDC has a $200 million budget, is using Climate Change to advance DEI.
Let me show you just how deep the rot goes:
2/ The CDC teamed up with the American Public Health Association, and created a "climate change and health playbook" (pic 1) which the APHA says is focused on Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (pic 2)
They're using Climate change as an excuse to advance DEI.
3/ The APHA then does a definition of "JEDI" and as you can see it is just the entirety of woke ideology in the form of DEI.
Remember, this is a health care organization which is diverting taxpayer money to use Climate Change as an excuse to advance DEI.
1/ Woke "Social Justice" activists have hijacked and weaponized public health!
The CDC and the American Public Health Association made a Climate Change manual about putting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) into everything they do.
The Woke healthcare takeover,
A Thread🧵
2/ Critical Social Justice (AKA "woke") activists take over organizations in order to use them as vehicles for spreading woke ideology.
This is why the APHA and the CDC, which is supposed to focus on health, has pages focused Social Justice, Racism, Climate Change, and Equity.
3/ So how exactly are the woke hijacking health?
Let's look at that.
The CDC has created the National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), which serves as a vehicle for using CDC resources to focus on such things as Racism, Climate Change, and Equity.
2/ Leftists don't pick up issues because they want to solve problems. They only pick up issues they can use todevelop leaders, train activists, and grow their "Grassroots Community Organizations."
For the left, solving the problem isn't the point....the point is to get power.
3/ The forward to the book that I have been quote was written by Richard Cloward and Francis Fox Piven.
Cloward and Piven are long time activist/academics and have been members of the radical left since the 60's.
They are very important names that you should know because....
