Quoth the Raven
A couple of things all happened together over the last 48 hours.
First, I came up with the idea of writing 100 predictions for the year 2022 – a blog post that I might still wind up finishing at some point. And second, I listened to the Joe Rogan Experience podcast interview of mRNA inventor Dr. Robert Malone, M.D., hours after the doctor was banned from Twitter for having opinions on Covid that stood at odds with the mainstream narrative.
The opinions that Malone echoed during his Rogan appearance included, but were not limited to:
- Calling the government “out of control” and “lawless” in their Covid response
- Stating mandates of “experimental” vaccines are “explicitly illegal”
- Noting that India had success in treating Covid early with drugs like ivermectin
- Saying “half a million” excess deaths have occurred due to government actions
- Arguing those with natural immunity have higher risk of vaccine adverse events
- Alleging that people are living through a mass formation psychosis
I’m not going to rehash all of the doctor’s points about Covid, but instead will say that I believe he made an extraordinary amount of thoughtful points that the mainstream media and “big tech” are too scared (and/or too stupid) to touch on themselves.
You can watch clips and read a full writeup of Malone’s interview here and read a detailed thread of the interview here.
Among the 100 predictions I was going to make in my blog post was going to be calling for a drastic shift in the mainstream media in the coming year. Instead of 100 predictions, I decided to instead write this piece.
Here’s how it came to be.
When the last hour of the podcast was coming to its conclusion as I was finishing an 8 mile run, a thought dawned on me: this interview with Malone is now officially out there and, no matter how much anyone tries to censor it, it can’t be taken back.
As we all know, nowadays when you make it on JRE, you’ve officially “made it”.
Putting aside the obvious irony of Twitter attempting to ban somebody and the person in question going viral as a result, I also thought about how, despite the fact that Malone’s opinions put him at odds with the mainstream media (who would never dare to have him on), Joe Rogan launched him past the usual media suspects and into the real “mainstream”.
I then thought to myself that in 2022, the mainstream media as we know it today (CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, etc.) is going to be forced to change its narrative on Covid.
“It’ll never happen,” you’re thinking to yourself, right? Let me explain.
The idea of the media being forced to change its tune on Covid is something I touched upon a couple of days ago when I wrote about the Omicron variant and how the media is creating a mass hysteria mountain out of a mole hill.
But after listening to Dr. Robert Malone‘s well reasoned arguments, delivered for three straight hours, concisely and calmly, it became clear to me that the entire mainstream media machine could wind up falling at the hands of content creators like Joe Rogan.
It’s an interesting little piece of game theory, when you think about it.
Rogan generates so many views and has grown so quickly – strictly because he allows open dialogue, civil discourse and approaches things with honest intent – that there is no financial incentive to de-platform him. Ever notice how YouTube apparently had no problem taking down Rogan’s interview with Malone, but hasn’t banned Rogan’s channel from the site yet?
One issue for media and political elites to consider is the fact that Rogan has supporters on both sides of the aisle. These supporters watch him because he routinely touches on topics that are considered faux pas or irreverent. The question of whether or not Rogan’s legacy and impact are here, and are going to remain here, can be answered with a resounding “yes”.
Rogan has thrived, whether intentionally (bringing on people specifically because they are being censored) or unintentionally (shooting the shit with people he finds interesting), from the start, by shining light in the dark areas that the mainstream media refuses to discuss.
In the same way that bitcoin unintentionally became a global phenomenon as a result of the negative consequences of central banking, Joe Rogan has become a global phenomenon at the hands of the negative consequences of how the mainstream media and “big tech” does business.
It reminds of me the scene in the 1989 version of Batman where Batman tells the Joker, “I’m going to kill you”, to which the Joker retorts:“You IDIOT! You made me. Remember? You dropped me into that vat of chemicals! That wasn’t easy to get over, and don’t think that I didn’t try!”
And so now, as it stands, knob-heads like Brian Stelter and his merry band of buffoons over at CNN – who spent 2021 attacking Rogan – have little choice but to fall in line behind him.
The left is desperate to shut down all criticism of their one-trick-pony approach to the epidemic.
COVID deaths in India have been estimated to be around 10 times the official count. Back in July, the total was estimated to be between 3.4 and 4.7 million.
https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/07/20/1018438334/indias-pandemic-death-toll-estimated-at-about-4-million-10-times-the-official-co
the village idiot believes NPR is not biased. If you research greggie, India started trying to solve the COVID 19 issues following CDC and WHO guidance. Fortunately, there were too many deaths using those procedures. Intelligent public health doctors developed a process using a prophylactic and therapy using ivermectin in a cocktail instead of treating symptoms. It worked. That is the reason for the lawsuit against the persons who initiated the MRNA shots rather than the therapy.
Ehen you cherry pick statements and call it news greggie, that is not science.
Here’s a link to the current COVID management flow chart published by India’s Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on September 23, 2021. Note that neither Hydroxychloroquine nor Ivermectin appear anywhere. That’s because India discontinued using them for COVID infections when it was determined that they DON’T WORK.

“COVID deaths in India have been estimated to be around 10 times the official count. Back in July, the total was estimated to be between 3.4 and 4.7 million.” Estimated, huh? Is that how numbers are arrived at? Funny you deny the CDC numbers are skewed even when you are shown examples.
Yes, that’s how a range of possible answers is determined. The actual number falls somewhere between the two extremes. That’s why it’s referred to as “an estimate”.
Many things cannot be quantified with an absolute number. Nobody knows the EXACT population of the United States,. The world if full of circular objects, but it’s impossible to calculate the exact ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. The world runs on estimates.

Invermectin Evidence Review Update Oct 5, 2021 Scientific Advisory Group, Alberta:

“Behera et al” refers to the study you linked. It’s discussed on page 6 and following, in the context of a preventative rather than a treatment. They considered this to be one of the better studies, but had problems with the fact that there wasn’t a blinded study, had no control group, and involved only healthcare workers who were aware of how contagious the condition was and were consequently taking other preventive measures besides to lessen transmission. Consequently it couldn’t be determined whether the associated reduction in transmission was due to the drug itself, or to other precautions.
The study didn’t even attempt to evaluate Ivermectin as a possible treatment.
the village idiot is starting to understand how science works. How can CDC and the FDA know if MRNA shots work when they have not collected any data on how many people have had COVID? They only selectively reported everyone who tested positive. That is not the same as having COVID. They have no idea how many people developed their natural immunity because they didn’t collect that data. The chose to use false date of people who tested positive for COVID when they died instead of collecting the number of people who died of COVID. If greggie looks back, CDC and FDA published papers without studies that ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine caused many dangerous side effects when both have been used for many decades or a prescribed use and those patients did not suffer the side effects CDC and FDA published without proper studies. If you look at India’s use if the ivermectin cocktails, they just used common sense, rallied their health departments and beat COVID in a very short time while the US is still struggling. That shows common sense decisions with an effort to resolve a problem based on science instead of political works. The big pharma greed and the political power grabs do not work.
If the MRNA shots are so great, why does the US Government controlled by the Democrats not allow those with adverse reactions to sue the big pharma and politicians? Why do they continue to keep the MRNA in an “experimental” use only status?
Go look at all of the studies greggie that Fauci, CDC and FDA quote and look at the statistics they use. This “pandemic would have been over a long time ago if the fear from false data used by the government had not been used to control the population.
“The study didn’t even attempt to evaluate Ivermectin as a possible treatment.”
But there are hundreds of papers that have.
Ivermectin is literally and scientifically proven to be one of the best anti-virus drugs we have that can HELP to treat Covid.
Even the new Merck drug isn’t as effective.
It’s likely that, against the leadership and push of President Trump, hundreds of thousands died due to a scandal generated by Democrats and their globalist/pharma donors.
This is huge. The American People deserve an explanation why our own shadow government decided to let people die in favor of a gene-therapy they continue to push onto the population without the safety protocols, or the need.
“But there are hundreds of papers that have.”
Actually, there ARE NOT. There are only media claims that such studies exist.
The Alberta Scientific Advisory Group carefully looked for them, and analyzed the most credible.
Uh huh. Not buying. We give you receipts you just say they don’t exist.
And the “media claims” all either lie or ignore the very real papers that show Ivermectin is effective.
What you don’t understand is that IT’S GENERALLY ACCEPTED AMONG DOCTORS. It’s not a stretch or a vague thing that is just evolving.
Why don’t you just revolt already and fight for your Communist, unelected regime instead of pretending you’re protecting democracy?
Be a real man and go for it. Stop lying and just admit what you want: genocide and Marxism.
The MSM “expert” on people getting sick from horse de-wormer did not work at the hospital in question for months and the hospital denied horse dewormer poisoning was ever an issue.
Rogan is the number one show for this kind of interview/investigatory news…CNN and the rest of the 20th Century Media so desperate to keep viewers they push harder at the bounds of journalistic integrity and end up just publishing lies for those making huge profits on the backs of working Americans.
Gutfeld is the NUMBER 1 late night host. The rest are…well, just not funny…and not watched.
CNN probably shouldn’t have slandered Rogan with their “horse-dewormer” lies. Didn’t help that they were in lockstep with silly statements published by the CDC.
We won’t suffer fascism. Ever.
When politicians are screwing around with the numbers to benefit their quest for power, the numbers are totally unreliable. As are our CDC numbers. Paying a premium for COVID deaths will produce an abundance of COVID deaths. NOW they want to differentiate between “with” and “of”, but that hasn’t been the case.
It is a proven FACT that ivermectin and HCQ are effective treatments. It is only denounced POLITICALLY; governments can’t administer treatments, but they can control vaccines, so they favor vaccines. They can’t control natural immunity, so they won’t recognize natural immunity, only vaccination status.
Why doesn’t this misinformed, disinforming idiot banned?
They also have ten times the people.
Greg, only ONE province in India used Ivermectin.
All the rest of India went with the vaccines.
So, an NPR article about “excess deaths” in India actually is right in line with how insurance actuaries are showing that right now working age Americans are dying 2&1/2 times the excess death rate of a 200 year disaster!
Vaccines are killing people, Greg.
Even in India.
22 is going to be an interesting year, people are dumping MSM looking at other sources. Tired of being lied to, the longest 15 days in history. Twitter and facebook like the MSM are simply cogs of the destructive Democrat machine.
What if the largest experiment on human beings in history is a failure?
A report from an Indiana life insurance company raises serious concerns.

“Correlation is not causation” is a fundamental principle of science and logic. Malone just blew it off without even blinking.
Maybe the death rate is rising because any one of a countless number of new factors introduced into our lives by technology. WiFi or 4G cell phone radiation exposure? Some food additive? Ubiquitous pesticides and farm chemicals? Genetically modified corn, or wheat, or—well, what HASN’T been tinkered with? Do you have any clue about how many microscopic particles of plastic find their way into the human body because the stuff is now EVERYWHERE? Look it up online. It’s shocking.
They don’t even have the most basic that would allow someone to speculate—that being the vaccination status of those who are part of this 40 percent increase. To decide it’s because of vaccination with no observable causal connection isn’t logic. The guy is a doctor. One would expect a higher-than-average attentiveness to the rules of logic, but it’s not there. Malone has gone off the rails.
It 5 G technology get your conspiracy theories right FGS, most of the crap you listed is fully approved by the FDA just like the jab.
The concerns about cell phone radiation, microwave, and WiFi radiation exposure began even before 4th Generation cell technology. People also worry about EM radiation from electrical transmission wires. Hey, maybe it’s all of Indiana’s wind turbines? Or exposure to the red dye from Chinese-made MAGA hats?
Exposure to countless new things correlate with the supposed 40 increase in deaths. If this implied causation, we’d all have to become Amish.
I know you think you can talk smart, but most of what you wrote above is simply…hot air. There’s nothing in it.
Having a proper debate and coming to some sort of consensus is what science and scientists do.
They don’t adhere to a Marxist State’s talking points and they trick-f*ck their findings so they can support a dictatorship.
The higher death rate started with Covid. Stop making excuses.
850000 have NOT died of the virus. That’s a fact.
Even greg can’t do much except cherry-pick a few “studies” and suddenly pretend to be calm and objective.
This genocide unleased on humanity in China, and intentionally amplified by our deep state and Democrat Party, needs to be dealt with and the guilty must face actual, Constitutional justice.
Joe Rogan is the Mainstream Media.
The old guard, the Blue Church, is crumbling and they know it.
McCollough and Malone are certified, credentialed experts. It’s fact.
Why do Democrats only reference those “experts” who support their zany narrative?
That’s what they call “following the science”.
Or just plain fascism. A better word.
They’re certified, credentialed experts that many other certified, credentialed experts strongly disagree with. You’re essentially choosing their opinions because you like them better.
The rising COVID body count and disparity between the hospitalization and death rates of the vaccinated vs. the unvaccinated argue strongly against their views. Reality cuts no one any slack.
The number of facts that must be denied to maintain conviction in one’s choice is always worth attention.
The MSM and Big SM have actively chosen a side banning any information including that of our own CDC, actively blocking informed consent. It isnt just one or two fringe scientists that disagree with the Safe and effective mantra.
The guy that invented the PCR test, the Guy that invented the gene therapy technology, Front line doctors and nurses, Respiratory specialist Doctors running Covid ICU units at huge hospitals.
By cutting the isolation period to 5 days nurses have to show up to work still infected without a test. Yes thats how evil Americas highest tax payer paid employee really is.
You are correct The number of facts that must be denied to maintain conviction in one’s choice is always worth attention.
The fact is the facts outside of Faucis lies are being hidden silenced and denied.
Shutting down travel from china not needed, Go on a cruise, wear 2 masks, gain of function, its a vaccine, its safe, its 90% effective, few and rare side effects, kids now are being hospitalized in large number because of the virus, I represent Science.
“The number of facts that must be denied to maintain conviction in one’s choice is always worth attention.”
State Farm Arena.
We agree with the experts that are describing what we can clearly see. You agree with the “experts” that reinforce your bigotry and prejudices.
We remind you of what you’re ignoring, daily.
Like most Leftists, the “switching cost” for you to finally face reality and get out of your Cult is too high for your brain to allow you to think about.
You’re denying things that are real, with no defense, and no explanation.
The gene-therapy injection is no panacea, and has not yielded the results you claim…without thought and without evidence you vetted yourself.
Disagreement is the biggest, and most important part of science.
You don’t get to pick your own “experts” because they support your politics.
Malone has absolutely destroyed the narrative.
The covid body count is lowering, and has been for quite some time.
Hundreds of thousands have died who could have been treated.
You have a hand in that, and that hand is bloody. You’ve literally killed people with your anti-science, anti-democratic worldview.
Vaccines for the CCP virus kill
What if the largest experiment on human beings in history is a failure?
A report from an Indiana life insurance company raises serious concerns.
“Indiana life insurance CEO says deaths are up 40% among people ages 18-64”.
Davison said the increase in deaths represents “huge, huge numbers,” and that’s it’s not elderly people who are dying, but “primarily working-age people 18 to 64” who are the employees of companies that have group life insurance plans through OneAmerica.
“And what we saw just in third quarter, we’re seeing it continue into fourth quarter, is that death rates are up 40% over what they were pre-pandemic,” he said.
“Just to give you an idea of how bad that is, a three-sigma or a one-in-200-year catastrophe would be 10% increase over pre-pandemic,” he said. “So 40% is just unheard of.””
Hey, greg said he lives in Indiana. Wonder if he used that company?
