Bret Samuel Weinstein is an American podcaster of the Dark Horse Podcast, author, and former professor of evolutionary biology. He is brother of Eric Weinstein, manager of the main equity fund of PayPal mafia billionaire Peter Thiel, founder of Palantir, with extensive ties to DOD and intelligence agencies.
Career
Weinstein came to national prominence following his resignation from Evergreen State College, during woke protests. He appeared on the podcasts of Sam Harris and Joe Rogan on many occasions. In June 2019, Weinstein and his wife Heather Heying began the DarkHorse Podcast on his YouTube channel.[1]
His DarkHorse Podcast was where Robert Malone came into prominence in a June 2021 interview. The podcast also talked of the "Wuhan lab leak origin of the coronavirus" and ivermectin as a potential treatment.
The Malone interview was censored by Youtube[2] - instantly propelling him to fame - and Weinstein was demonetized[3], but unlike most other Covid dissidents, he was not entirely scrubbed from the platform.[4]
"Dream Team Narrative Police"
Deep politics analyst Amazing Polly pointed out a push to corral everyone who spoke out against the Covid "pandemic", especially "conservatives" into a single group with strongly defined leaders. According to her, the way this works is through a crosspromotional "New Narrative Gatekeepers Network" or a "phony Dream Team of 'covid dissidents'", where the financial benefits from crosspromotion made the content producers dependent on each other, herding them into the same focus areas. The bigger the exposure, the more money they will receive from especially X and Rumble. Paypal mafia member Peter Thiel is a big investor in Rumble, while Elon Musk controls Twitter/X[5].
While not claiming any of them were controlled opposition assets, she mentioned many of the same people as in Team Worst Case Scenario, like Robert Malone, Bret Weinstein, Joe Rogan but also more broadly Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro (Daily Wire), Russell Brand, Youtube Doctor John Campbell, Jordan Peterson, Alex Jones, Andrew Tate and many others being "corralled" this way[5].
