REVOLUTION..Vibrant/provocative interview...Russell Brand interviewed by Jeremy Paxman BBC Newsnight....

[Delight]

I think there be a chance that Russell Brand is bringing a level of mind that can help people know more about what they desire.

Three Magic Words has a section about Universal Mind. Kelly Howell made a CD of it. This has the text. The text is an excellent one.

I acknowledge that there is the probability that no matter how it is happening, Universal Mind is bringing in guidance for our earthly experience as humans.

The thrust - and the most important statement IMO that Brand gives in this interview - is that politics, politicians and governments in all their incumbent manifestations are a total farce.

I don't vote either Russell. It is an insult to my intelligence.

Governments don't represent people, they are run by corporations and are merely small wings of the corporations that are raping the earth and all sentient life. As for the push to devalue or define Brand's message as weighing heavily in with socialism - so what! Who can argue with those foundational values? And that is what he is marking off. Not the twisted versions that have unfortunately been allowed to fester and be appropriated as a convenient tool by TPTB.

Thanks humbly for reading me today Av Cats Like I do outside here, I am standing in the middle of the fire and calling BS for what it is.

No shame, no going back now! Woohoo

Prince Brand had better learn fast from Princess Diana.

I'm really inspired by Brand's energy. He used to annoy me to no end, but I've slowly become a fan - there's a certain genius in his dealings with people. There's no denying it. He's got every pitch: fastball, curve ball, slider...and they're all right at the tip of his tongue, hot n ready to be delivered. With his energy alone he dominates space...and he controls dialogue simply by changing characters, from funny to serious, indignant to apathetic etc - he's a master at keeping you off balance. I wish he were a member here. He'd be awesome, and I'd love to spar with him a little!

This interview demonstrates what I've always secretly felt, and that is this: humor, or " facetiousness" as it is referred to here, is a wonderful weapon against the establishment. It clearly dumbfounded the interviewer. If you notice his body language, it wasn't long before he assumed a posture of defeat. This one was over before it even began. This type of off-speed humor confounds these types, and they are powerless against it. It renders their line of questioning silly by exposing it as pointless and backwards.

He says things that we all feel in our hearts , knowing there must be better way, a better day , and if it's going to happen , if it's going to change , it is up to US to do it ... the old system will just keep doing as it does unless WE change it ... the media types don't quite know how to handle someone that is real and honest and speaks their mind and their truth with real passion ...

[onawah]

After weighing the evidence, I'm swinging back in favor of Brand.
Dianna compared him to Jim Morrison, but I think Brand is more than angry and rebellious, he's passionate and sincere, and he's willing to go out on a limb.
I don't think he's a tool, but for that reason, I think we need to pray for him and keep him protected in the Light.

To me, this and the previous Brand interview with Paxton belies 'the devils advocate' in action for the optimum representation and presentation of the material being 'Brand-ished'..

me thinks they are actually on the same page...

a highly effective duo

Just one example to back up my previous post ...

That video is a good example of manipulation. The suggestion is planted at the beginning and then some blurry footage is shown that is supposed to support what is said. I do not agree that Russell was shown doing anything extra-ordinary to manipulate Ms Perry.

I'm not buying it. I have no doubt that Russell Brand will have "Illuminati" people trying to get close to him and attempt to control and discredit what he does. It seems to me that this video is another example.

[panopticon]

Thank you for presenting this interview.

Brand makes an effort to deconstruct the present system by pointing out some of its problems (of which there are many).

When pressed he says what he doesn't want a new system to look like. This is usual for someone who is either introducing new material to an audience or entering into a new way of thinking and trying to find their position. He understands how the present system favours familial and social ties and how networks operate. I also think it was useful him pointing out the links between corporations and politics. Many people try to not connect them and his mentioning of it is credibly giving voice to it for a younger audience who are not engaged with this very dry material.

When he was pressed for what his idea of a new society would look like he tried to avoid it because I don't think he has worked out many details himself as of yet. He knows something isn't right but he may still be searching for ways to fix the many delicately inter-related problems. He indicated this during the interview when he said he would be consulting with people who knew more about this than he did. He got my interest with that because usually people (especially celebrities) say "I have the answer" at which point I inevitably turn off because they don't.

One point I would like to applaud was how he showed he definitely wasn't interested in a large centralised system. At one point he indicated a bureaucracy to handle allocation of resources and services but that the bureaucrats would not have any power themselves (though they would of course have to have some limited power due to their handling of resources and services, bit of a catch-22 there). This is an important difference to Communist and Fascist socialist systems because they wish to centralise control and power within their hands. The basis of a purely capitalist system is the centralisation of control and power via resources and services so I find arguments in favour of it fallacious (yes I know that isn't the idea, but in reality that is the end effect).

My main worry in designing a new system is the centralisation of control in the Corporate Nation-State with the limiting of grass-root participation, organisation, governance and feed-back. It is very difficult to design a new system in which centralisation doesn't occur on a large scale. I hope in time he comes across some of the anarcho-socialist writers and theorists who encourage a decentralised system of governance with a distributed or semi-decentralised process of resource distribution and service provisioning.

All in all an interesting interview that may plant a seed in the minds of the young and get those not presently interested engaged in the future creation of a more egalitarian society.

The title of this thread really interested me.

Sometimes when I drink a bit I kind of get taken over by something, or perhaps I become more my self, and on one particular occasion a few years ago at a dinner party with about 10 people I started going on about how Russell Brand was going to by a vehicle for change in our society. I would not let it go and kept on going on about it and the reasons. I think I embarrassed my girlfriend a little bit.

Laterly, in Jan 2012, I actually did a thread on Avalon when I asked

Russell Brand: Part of the change?

The way things are panning out it really seems to be manifesting, funny thing is my girlfriend actually got to know Russel brand and she got invited to a preview of one of his Messiah complex shows, he listened to feedback from all sorts of people.

He definitely is an oddball (aren't we all?) and is always challenging taboos, but he has a huge heart and really does follow the adage of treat other people as you would expect to be treated yourself. He does not look down on anyone, he is on the level with everyone, he is of the people.

He is for real. He is a figure that gives me real hope and I thank Russell for that.

Although he needs to keep his feet on the ground cause I don't want him to get a real Messiah complex

[Soul Safari]

Just read this quote about Brand LOVE IT!

He is one of the few people on this planet whose brain is connected to his tongue and his heart, without doubt he is a very rare and unique ''BRAND''

Brilliant Band - making Paxman looking very faded old school with an agenda to maintain that he can hardly prop up. The old world weary cynicism won´t wash any more...

Mr and Mrs A are of the opinion that Mr Paxman was in on this deal and willingly being the rapier for Russel's foil. Very effective way to get the best out of Russel Brand and make it deliverable to a wider range of people.

Yes I agree Anchor Mr Band needs to be heard, wants to be heard, he is awake, he is in tune and should be heard, he is going to be heard, Hats off to him big time, Great interview!
Yes I agree Anchor Mr Paxman was in on the whole idea of change and bit the bullet for the cause! Hats off to him big time, Great interview!
Brilliant

PS the interview/vid, the content, the context, the passion of Brand and his views made me swell up and bust out in tears.

[Kristin]

This is a heart warming meeting between Russell and the Dalai Lama. This also shows that Russell knows when to be silent and respectful as well, in case you were wondering. The Dalai Lama tells a personal story straight from his heart about feeling like a prisoner in the past and wanting to be free instead of a lama. Incredible and thought provoking. Russel is so easy going that they easily joke and entertain each other. Enjoy.

From the Heart,
Kristin

Somewhere in the past i heard that one of Russell's favorite forums was Avalon. That he was one of the watchers.

Maybe not true but if you are watching Russell how about you and Bill having a video interview. You may help take out some painful splinters from some peoples eyes.

Peace
