The CDC has reversed itself and now recommends early treatment for Covid. The DHS memo of Feb. 7th seems to suggest those who argued for the value of early treatment before CDC’s acknowledgment—though factually correct—have spread “malinformation”, a kind of terrorism. #Tyranny
Some will quibble about the specifics. CDC is, of course setting the stage for highly profitable new drugs, not repurposed out-of-patent ones. But the same new DHS/terrorism standard presumably applies to cloth masks, natural immunity, myocarditis and outdoor transmission as well
According to DHS, if you embarrass the CDC by discussing what it’s blind to (deadly errors in CDC guidance, for example) you’re a terrorist because you’re seeding distrust of government. The more embarrassing the official mistakes, the greater the danger of bringing them to light
This tweet threat is based in fact and should naturally, if you’re American, make you distrust your government. Is it therefore malinformation-terrorism? If my thread is somehow in error, does it become misinformation-terrorism?
Wake up. We can’t live this way. This is #Tyranny.
P.S. when I tried to tweet this, Twitter did something I have never seen before. It tweeted the beginning of the thread but failed to tweet from #3 on. Probably just some weird glitch. But worth noting in case it is something more.

Joe Rogan faces a smear campaign because he's a threat to illegitimate power. It wants him controlled. It doesn't care *at all* about the n-word. This is about the sacred narrative and keeping Rogan's huge audience from hearing at length from experts who know what's wrong with it
What's so special about Joe Rogan? He's a free, honest and curious man, with the well earned trust and attention of millions. Nothing could be more dangerous. Look at it through the eyes of those who captured our institutions and you'll understand why he has been targeted.
If you detest the idea of becoming a tool of power (as I do) this is a good place to start. It builds on the excellent work of @wokal_distance. I can't say these connections are what they appear. But the picture is credible, and very alarming.
You and @joerogan were clear, so much so that your accusers haven’t even been able to edit you into ambiguity. They are amplifying the clip in hopes someone can figure out how to frame a credible objection or, failing that, the audience will simply record that one has been made.
The subtext is that you and Joe aren’t allowed to discuss the topic of race unless you are repeating presently fashionable platitudes. And that is, of course, racism in its purist form. @Trevornoah can make observations that you can’t.
Truth doesn’t work like that. Power does.
I’m not taking @Trevornoah to task. He mocked you for making an observation so obvious that, in his mind, it was ridiculous for you to point it out. @donlemon, OTOH, accused you of saying something unacceptable. Which is it, obvious or unacceptable?
Pharma has captured more than regulators and public health authorities. It has invaded people’s minds—including some good ones. Neil Young won’t cause Spotify to toss Joe Rogan but pressure will continue to mount. Whenever it does we should say: #ThanksJoeRogan & #ThankYouSpotify
Strange that the fate of the West may depend on the @joerogan Experience, and that JRE may need our defense. But I assure you both are true.
Pharma and its partners know. That is why the heat is being turned up on Joe and @Spotify. It’s the front line of the war on free speech.
Likes, retweets and replies are all great, but composing organic tweets with those hashtags is even better. Please avoid cut and paste. Be authentic. Say thanks— because it’s the right and smart thing to do.
I have been warning of an impending dark age since before I joined Twitter in 2009. And I’m not alone. Covid has simply made the general rot so obvious that a large and growing minority can now see it.
The anti-rational darkness has been overtaking civilization for decades. Most didn’t notice what was replacing science because things continued to ~function, despite rampant corruption—both financial and intellectual. Anti-science now pervades every structure. Gov. Edu. Tech…
There is complete set of kill-stitches on truth. There is nothing power must accept. There is no way to force the matter other to go directly to the public on Joe Rogan’s show, or wherever else people who are too fed up to remain intimidated choose to gather.
Omicron could well be excellent news. Even Delta is very manageable with early treatment. Omicron looks to be even more so. And that could allow us to exit the pandemic as a large fraction of the population acquires immunity with mild disease. But there are caveats.
1. We know little yet of Omicron. It might not match our initial assessment. 2. Our leaders are intent on continual (re)vaccination of every last person irrespective of risk, medical need or epidemiological value. No reason to think that’ll change. Early treatment is key, yet DOA
3. We’re pushing a novel—likely functionally enhanced—virus around evolutionarily. No one can predict the outcome with confidence. ADE and original antigenic sin are still on the table. Our recklessness could drive SARS2 toward those with innate immunity (e.g. the healthy/young)
Even if this isn’t fully true, the fact that many of the world’s most insightful people appear to believe that it is true, and that many of them now act accordingly, will causes it to become effectively true. We let down our guard because maintaining it feels naive and wasteful.
This may be the biggest obstacle to rescuing the west. Whether we do or we don’t actually live in the panopticon, all sense making and change seeking is now done by geographically disbursed groups of people, each of which contain members who have given up on private communication
