OK. So I've got a minute. Why Does Joe Rogan think Australia is trying to make growing your own food illegal? Let’s investigate.

He's not alone. Twitter search shows lots of folks claiming the same. A lot of the videos and tweets include a screenshot from something called Apex World News. www.tiktok.com/@awelloilednurse/video/7095571760334032130
So who is @apexworldnews? The account is a typical "breaking news" type of misinfo account. No ownership listed, spammy and unverified content. It does list a website. But ... expired.
To the Wayback! Site looks junky, serves ads. And much of the content is authored by a "Grace Siwale." There is a person on Twitter with this name (not linking) and she shares a lot of Apex World News links. She's also deeply religious and a fan of one particular preacher.
Uebert Angel a British-Zimbabwean who preaches the prosperity gospel. ("God wants you to be rich and he'll make it so if you ... give me money?" I don't know just go with it.)
And a little Googling shows us that. Angel founded Apex in 2020. www.uebertangel.org/2020/07/17/prophet-uebert-angel-announced-the-debut-of-a-global-news-channel-call...
The kind of thing you might read / see on Apex World News? Misinformation Madlibs:

Just for good measure, we can take a look at the website in DomainTools and see that Apex shares a mail server IP with other sites, including those that clearly belong to the preacher.
So, I wouldn't get my news from a so-called prophet's junk news site, but you know who might? Rogan fan, vaccine critic, Ivermectin-loving, friend of the IDW, Chris is a self described financial analyst & founder of a self-help/actualization thingie that's definitely not an MLM.
Anyway, @joerogan. Don't get your news from here.
