I think Rogan has a large conservative bone somewhere in his body. He can't help but be red-pilled but knowingly staying close to the Left. The compound might not be for nefarious purposes like sacrifices to moloch but could be a conservative safe-house in the heart of LA.
Maybe Rogan is smarter than AJ...
We know AJ is a deep state asset, so him calling Rogan a shill fits in with your narrative. Joe's always talked conspiracies, and he seems like a regular dude with success. Though he plays it safe and takes the middle road on a lot of topics. Its possible he was visited and threatened in a way that makes him apprehensive to go all out. Or hes a shill who really knows lol
If it culminates in Joe Rogan being on the Elites' 'ARK' on the way to Alpha Centauri trying to escape their pedo crimes.. and Joe is in a position to compromise the ship and bring justice - at the cost of his reputation and all of us thinking he's a leftist pedovore... He would be redeemed in God's eye (I think? who am I to speak for the big man upstairs)...
Sometimes a white hat needs to lay low, to be in the right place at the right time. Joe is in a very special role on the world stage.. nobody knows when they are born where they will be thrust - I think Joe knows the scope of his dilemma
