Joe Rogan/Spotify Take Down Attempt

[Swordsmyth]

Black Rifle actually hates populists and conservatives. In fact, it’s willing to pay you to never be their customer again. That’s the takeaway from the company’s 7,000-word profile in The New York Times last week.
Sometime in the last few months, The New York Times asked Black Rifle if they’d be interested in an interview. As a proud MAGA-backing coffee company, Black Rifle could have responded in several different ways:
-Ignore them
-Deliver a terse statement
-Ask for a list of questions and give brief, accurate answers
-“The Times is the enemy of the American people. F off.”
Black Rifle did none of those things. Instead, founder Evan Hafer sat down for a wide-ranging in-person interview. The company posed for a photo shoot. They gave the Times’ Jason Zengerle everything he needed for a massive story making it absolutely clear how the company really feels about its most enthusiastic supporters.

The Rittenhouse episode may have cost the company thousands of customers, but, Hafer believed, it also allowed Black Rifle to draw a line in the sand. “It’s such a repugnant group of people,” Hafer said. “It’s like the worst of American society, and I got to flush the toilet of some of those people that kind of hijacked portions of the brand.” Then again, what Hafer insisted was a “superclear delineation” was not too clear to everyone, as Munchel’s choice of headgear vividly demonstrated.
“The racism [expletive] really pisses me off,” Hafer said. “I hate racist, Proud Boy-ish people. Like, I’ll pay them to leave my customer base. I would gladly chop all of those people out of my [expletive] customer database and pay them to get the [expletive] out.” [NY Times]
​

Hafer’s choice of epithet is revealing. One doesn’t even have to like the Proud Boys to know that calling them racist is ridiculous. The group’s leader is sometime FBI-informant Enrique Tarrio, an Afro-Cuban. It famously attracts Hispanics, Asians, and Polynesians. The Proud Boys are all-male and proud “Western chauvinists.” Hafer could have called them violent, or stupid, or a potential federal op. But instead, he chose to call them racists, the one slur against them that is completely indefensible.
In other words, Hafer doesn’t actually know anything about the Proud Boys. He’s just repeating nonsense talking points fed to him by the Right’s enemies, whom he evidently views as a reliable information source.
That pattern recurs throughout the article. The damning revelation of the interview is that, whatever his superficial signaling towards American nationalists, Hafer has thoroughly submitted to the moral imperialism of the left. He accepts their core premises about reality and allows them to define the limits of his worldview.

Hafer and Best were talking in a glorified supply closet in the Salt Lake City offices, where potential designs for new coffee bags were hanging on the wall. One of them featured a Renaissance-style rendering of St. Michael the Archangel, a patron saint of military personnel, shooting a short-barreled rifle. In Afghanistan and Iraq, Hafer knew a number of squad mates who had a St. Michael tattoo; for a time, he wore into battle a St. Michael pendant that a Catholic friend gave him. But while the St. Michael design was being mocked up, Hafer said he learned from a friend at the Pentagon that an image of St. Michael trampling on Satan had been embraced by white supremacists because it was reminiscent of the murder of George Floyd. Now any plans for the coffee bag had been scrapped. “This won’t see the light of day,” Hafer said. [NY Times]
​

St. Michael the Archangel has been essential to the Christian religion for two thousand years. Millions of Catholics say a prayer to St. Michael after after Mass. As Hafer himself knows, St. Michael is popular with soldiers, veterans, and religious Americans of all stripes. But rather than letting a classic symbol stand on its own terms, Hafer has allowed the hegemonic left to define what it means. A “friend at the Pentagon” warned him that a two-thousand-year-old iconic symbol was not okay, because a few alleged “white supremacists” “embraced” it, whatever that means. So, too bad, no more iconic Christian saint allowed anymore. What other symbols Hafer could be browbeaten into opposing. The Gadsden flag? The American one? It appears the only limit is the Pentagon’s shame, and given the Pentagon at this moment is paying to surgically mutilate its own soldiers, it’s not clear any such limit exists.

Ya, I've seen that before. He hates MAGA and is definitely "Not Racist" (TM).

It probably would be more accurate to update my summarization of his company however:

It's a coffee company. That supports veterans. With a left leaning virtue-signaling MAGA-hating CEO. Approximately no more, no less

You can find many more by searching for Swordsmyth and Dump.

As I said, I used exactly those search terms and it only took me back to Sept 2020.

"We possess documents and information showing the direct support by the U.S. imperialism for this highly disgusting stream (ISIS) in the region which has destroyed the Islamic countries and created a wave of massacres and clashes,"

Dump already said Obummer started ISIS, he should invite Iran to make their evidence public.

Thought of the day for Dump and Iran:
John 8:32

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

King James Version (KJV)

Was/Is he better than Dump?

If you find someone better than Rand who will run let me know.

08-22-2017

This is about the primaries, as I said above even if we lose we need to put pressure on Dump to move our direction, anyone better than him will do for that purpose.

07-17-2017

I hope it will, Dump needs pressure to keep him from drifting left even if we don't win.

Here is my list of who should run:
https://www.thenewamerican.com/freedom-index
Idaho

Dist.1: Raul Labrador - 91%

Kentucky

Sen. Rand Paul - 93%

Dist.4: Thomas Massie - 98%

Utah

Sen. Mike Lee - 92%

Michigan

Dist.3: Justin Amash - 94%


I am open to suggestions.

There are lots more.


Just put the words "Swordsmyth" and "Dump" into the site's search engine, then select threads from way back then and look for my posts.


Don't go to my profile because you only get 80 pages of results that way.

I used the advanced search feature, searching the term "Dump" with you as the poster, and the results only went back to September 2020. I may be missing something, but I got no results earlier than that.

Honestly, I don't even care anymore. If you weren't here initially to peddle Trump, fine. I'll apologize for making that claim, though I remain circumspect about it... that said, my principle issue with you has always been your incessant pro-Trump posting history to the near exclusion of anything else, and - again - your tendency to declare anyone who disagrees with you as "controlled opposition".

 

[A Son of Liberty]

I don't think anyone "objected"... speaking for myself, I don't find your concerns particularly relevant.

Rogan is just a dude who has conversations with other people with a camera on. To act as though he's some kind of threat because BRCC pays him for ad reads is... bizarre.

He did not say he was a threat. He said he cannot be trusted which is basically the same thing I and a few others were saying here. What was bizarre is the reaction to those saying that.

Joe Rogan Endorses the Deep State: ‘We Would Be Beyond F–ed’ Without It
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/joe-rogan-endorses-deep-state-233558018.html

The only thing I got out of that was that Rogan prefers the deep state (which he defines as career politicians and bureaucrats) to a tyrannical dictator.

1 tyrannical dictator or 500,000 tyrannical dictators... I know which I'd choose

 

[Swordsmyth]

The only thing I got out of that was that Rogan prefers the deep state (which he defines as career politicians and bureaucrats) to a tyrannical dictator.

He is still endorsing unelected bureaucrats running the country behind the backs of elected representatives: “In an interview with former CIA officer Mike Baker, Rogan made his case. “One of the things that the tinfoil-hat brigade likes to talk about is the deep state,” he said.
“They always like to talk about the deep state. What I was saying is, what if we didn’t have a deep state?” he continued. “Do you know how f–ed we would be if we didn’t have career politicians and career intelligence agencies? People who are there for a long period of time who do understand it.”
Rogan argued that President Joe Biden exemplifies the need for a government staffed by several experienced civil servants.
“Listen, I’ve disrespected Joe Biden enough, I don’t think I should do it anymore,” he stated. “I’ve said enough about him being mentally incompetent. He’s just compromised, he’s an old guy. We know, everyone knows, the guy is falling apart.”
If Biden was the sole person in charge, Rogan said, his administration would become a dictatorship.
“But imagine if he really was the only say in how things run, and how things go? If he really was a dictator,” he proposed. “We would be beyond f–ed!””


The problem is that Biden is part of the deepstate and their puppet, they are the ones running things and using Biden as a fall guy.

He is also calling us “the tinfoil hat brigade”.
There is nothing good about what Rogan said, he might as well endorse the end of representative government.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Keep in mind some of Joe Rogan's best friends are in the "tin foil hat" brigade..

Rogan sorta does this thing on his podcast where he mirrors his guest in order to better relate to them so he can get them to open up more.

This guy he was interviewing is a British/American "former" CIA Officer, he is part of the deep state.

That doesn't make it any better.

Well, at least I was wrong about Spotify giving Rogan the boot.

Good for them.

That doesn't make it any better.

It's about getting the interviewee to open up. That's how he gets people with different philosophies.

Rumble Offers Joe Rogan $100 Million Four-Year Deal with Commitment to ‘No Censorship’

https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2022...r-year-deal-with-commitment-to-no-censorship/

In reaction to Rogan hosting guests with different opinions on coronavirus topics, left-wing rocker Neil Young gave Spotify an ultimatum, demanding that the streaming giant remove his music from the platform if it refuses to blacklist Rogan’s podcast.

When Spotify reacted by announcing it would pull Young’s music from the platform, the rocker called on other musicians to join him in removing their music as well, in an apparent attempt to further pressure Spotify to cave to his demands.

From there, Young was able to get a small cohort of aging rockers to join him in his anti-Spotify crusade, with musicians David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, Nils Lofgren, and Joni Mitchell making similar announcements shortly after.

And now they've returned:

Crosby, Stills & Nash Music Returns to Spotify

Crosby, Stills & Nash music can now be streamed on Spotify once again, five months after David Crosby, Graham Nash and Stephen Stills requested their labels remove their recordings in support of Neil Young‘s decision to leave the streaming service.

Their music is available via Spotify as of Saturday (July 2). CSN will donate proceeds from streams to COVID-19 charities for at least a month, a source tells Billboard.
