She wants more money. If they offered her a million dollar contract, she'd be shilling her album on Joe Rogan's podcast to get more publicity.

Good grief.

How many more bandwagoneers will pop up seeking their 15-minute jump start to their careers???
Arie's career hardly needs a jump start. Just because she doesn't play big arenas or gets hyped in the press is no indication of the state of one's career or artistic value.

Its just one more example of the philosophy of the hypocrite who believes “rights apply to me, not to thee”.

But in this case, its even worse, because the BIG DEAL is apparently based on Rogan’s audacity to allow other points of view to be voiced on his podcast, which Neil Young disagrees with and believes ought to be silenced. So he’s not just challenging Rogan’s opinion on a specific topic, he’s literally attacking Rogan for providing the opportunity for everyone to express their views. And not just criticizing Rogan, but attempting to harm his reputation, and harm him financially.

Compounding the matter is the fact that these two guests Young seems to take such issue with are indeed highly credentialed medical professionals, and experts in the field. Dr Peter McCullough is the most published medical professional in the world, in his field of Cardiology, while Dr. Robert Malone is recognized as either the primary inventor or at minimum, a significant contributor in the creation of the mRNA technology for which the “vaccines” are based. So, who does this aging musician think he is, and what expertise does he possess in the field of medicine that qualifies him to declare the views of these medical professionals as inappropriate and dangerous? Its preposterous and absurd in both foundation and principle.

Lets call this what it really is … another example in the long list of examples of leftist hypocrisy and “double standards” which knows no boundaries. Leftists incorporate this double standard in virtually every position they take …. but its particularly apparent when it comes to their twisted versions of freedom of speech, and rights in general. The left are free to say virtually anything, and do virtually anything, while everyone else is free to shut up and do as they are told, or face the consequences of angering the mob. The only two consistencies that can be counted on when it comes to the leftist ideology is that it is totally void of “principles”, and always destructive.

What do I mean? How about “my body, my choice”? Thats the position leftists cite with regard to the right to aborting a million babies annually! But don’t believe that is based on the principle of “bodily autonomy”, because its not. These same ideologues believe that when it comes to “vaccination”, “bodily autonomy” doesn’t exist, nor any other individual right, for that matter. Nope, when it comes to “vaccines” you cannot even voice a concern about safety, and if you don’t willingly agree to be injected, we’ll just have to drag your ass out into the street, restrain you, and jam that needle into you whether you like it or not. After all, its for your own good, dontcha know?

That’s right, it’s the noble lie. There’s nothing more insidious or more dangerous than the noble lie, because it is the lie that is told with a clear conscience, because it’s told in the best interests of everyone, you see? In comparison to the garden variety lie, in which the possibility exists that the liar’s moral conscience may at some point convince him to be more truthful, the noble lie suffers no such threat, as the liar has already reconciled the morality of the lie as being for positive good, and therefore can be told with a clear conscience!

This personifies the left’s unmatched ability to deceive, as they are equally capable of lying to themselves as they are lying to everyone else.
Great post...nailed it.

Default Our White House Recommends Spotify Do More to Censor Joe Rogan.... Unbelievable

https://www.breitbart.com/entertainm...sor-joe-rogan/

It was once unthinkable that an American Presidential Administration would engage in fascism... but, here we are..

Press Secretary Psaki: “This disclaimer, it’s a positive step but we want we want every platform to continue doing more to call out misinformation and disinformation while also uplifting accurate information”

Who decides what's misinformation and what isn't?

A wee bit of sensationalism by Breitbart, don't you think? The statement by Psaki did not mention Rogan, but leave it the right-wing publication to throw in some steak to make it sizzle.

The White House shouldn't be telling private companies what to do, let alone to censor someone with whom they disagree with.

The sick, twisted irony here is that this White House - in cahoots with their treacherous allies in the media - are the biggest disseminators of misinformation on the Planet.

Who do you suppose she was talking about when she brought up a disclaimer and "spotifly"? What is wrong with Breitbart mentioning Rogan? I mean, that's what this is all about. Is truth that hard to stomach? Or do you only speak "beat around the bush"?

The people that want to quiet Joe Rogan, think you and I are too stupid to decipher fact from fiction.

Those people are insane.
