    Default 'I don't trust politicians & corporations in this country' Russell Brand - BBC Newsnight 24 oct...

    This is a lively debate where Russell tries to discuss his book with Jeremy Paxmans ,
    successor, former economist Evan Davis, who defends the establishment views
    and tries to trick Russell into saying he supports 9/11 conspiracy theorists.
    Russell realises Evan is being patronising and trying to put words in his mouth.
    Awkward listen at times and Russell will have to be careful as the establishment
    guard dogs in the mainstream media will try to trip him up.

    I don't trust politicians in ANY country ... corporations I tolerate because they for now are a necessary tool ... with them , the only difference between this company and that one is the sign out front ...

    Youtube description

    Quote Gepubliceerd op 28 okt. 2013
    In a recent diatribe on BBC, Hollywood actor Russell Brand with Jeremy Paxman spoke candidly about his desire to create a "Socialist egalitarian system based on the massive redistribution of wealth and heavy taxation of corporations." In this commentary we question Brand's so called "good intentions" and how qualified he really is to talk about these topics as a multi-millionaire. More importantly, we discuss his connection to the Fabian Socialist magazine the "New Statesman," of which he was co-editing for a week before his senseless speech and call for a revolution on TV.

    I think you are right on the money. The only thing I see a little different is knowing a person's mind can be rewritten/remapped if the need by "them" is high enough. Having been through this procedure I know it happens.

    I saw that and he is missing the point we have had socialist governments in
    the UK on 3 or 4 occasions 1940's thru 1970's.Since then we have had more right
    wing governments from both 'New' Labour , Conservatives and Lib/Lab and Con/Dem.

    Russell is just hightling unfair society he is not going to lead a revolution
    and he knows that. He came from a poor background and is trying to help
    in his own way. This is below Red Ice to attack Russell so much. They
    can disagree with him, Russell admits he does not have the answers and
    he is not calling for a violent revolution. Anyone can take Russell to
    task , but his heart is in right place and he does give much away to
    good causes. He could just stay in Hollywood and do nothing.


    I think Henrik Palmgren should have Russell on his show and ask him
    his motives and what he is trying to say.

    Labour government or Conservative government: same difference in my opinion. The differences in actual policies are hard to distinguish. Campaign promises are more distinguishable but at the end of the day most of these promises are lies anyway.

    I just don't buy the messianic savior act.

    I agree that Hendrik should have him on the show, should be a good discussion between two opposite political viewpoints. Maybe Hendrik could convince Russel that the solution does not lie with a bigger government and more rules (and taxes) but that the solution may lie in a free market and less rules for (small) business. People should be able to take care of themselves, so they do not need a government/nanny state.

    Look for instance at some of the links in youtube description. You can get a good impression what is happening in Sweden. There it does not make a difference if you work hard or sit on your ass all day long. I pass for that kind of revolution and Russel Brand is the poster boy for this IMHO.

    Yet we stand by and watch daily a world being enslaved via democracy and capitalism. There is a plan in place, and that is to show the utter failings of democracy and capitalism (problem), where people demand a solution, and it will be presented as a one world communist government.

    Is Russell brand a part of that process? It is not entirely impossible ... but during this "planned process" there is also an opportunity, for during the "revolution", change will be fast and the outcome unpredictable. What we all know and feel right now is that current systems are going in a very, bad direction if we do not implement direction change soon. This is obvious, even if it is "the plan".

    the "Che Guevara" background graphics on that interview... pathetic!
    Now look at all this negativity on Brand:
    https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Ch...bv=2&oq=&gs_l=
    Totally media controlled.

    I found his 'interview' was actually allowing him to make a stance for those who really want to say to those in power "STOP" and listen to the real people.

    Despite all the bankstering/globalistic profiteering el-greedo stuff which is proliferate between-the-lines in all global news now, grabbing any global resources wherever possible to the detriment of those who have existed there for years, and some are now being deliberately poisoned by Ebola (via 'health-care' without frontiers - ahem), or whatever suits the giant vile and corrupt organisations, are we are expected to digest and accept the pathetic excuses for this profligation of lies via anyone's TV/media hype? Day after day - without question? I thank the Russell Brands et al of this world, and anyone who can bring justice to the disenfranchised, globally.

    the solution may lie in a free market and less rules for (small) business. People should be able to take care of themselves, so they do not need a government/nanny state.
    At first glance Hendrick is right and his co presenter was a little over enthusiastic
    with slagging off Russell.Socialism , Communism ,Capitolism infact all the 'ism's'
    can be abused and undermined by corrupt officials, as we have seen in the past
    and is going on today. Russell does not advocate any of them,he would like local
    issues given more priority , with more grass roots participation. He has gone on
    mainstream and tried to articulate some of his views and of course he is shot down
    because mainstream economists still live in the corporate world . When pressed on
    the Paxman interview which Hendrick was reviewing Russell did say a socialist state
    and tax the corporates and when pushed said it needs financial experts to set it up,
    which is a oxymoron in itself. Russell did not mean that and as he says himself he
    is no expert on these matters. He knows like all of us things are not fair with most
    of the worlds wealth in the hands of a tiny percent of rich people and corporations.

    Now we all know that in the alternate community,and I'm not against millionaires
    per say and people should be rewarded for effort and innovation and work creation
    and most of the social cares in a community like , health , schooling housing ,
    roads, water, energy and all the other amenities that make up villages,town and
    cities with care over the countryside and environment. But that does not mean
    multi millionaire , I don't know a figure off the top of my head but a £1 million
    seems more than ample for most innovative leaders of industry or other professions.

    The trouble is that they are now in the hands of ever smaller groups who wield
    power.The mil ind complex, Big Pharma , Monsanto and other interests are
    squeezing the average citizen to become another service of 'Surfice ' class . The EU
    has become unwieldy and there is a backlash in many countries with 'nationalist'
    parties gaining ground on the usual fears all electorates respond to.

    Many people do not engage in our current political system and what Russell is
    trying to represent is the many especially from poorer backgrounds who have
    been left behind by mainstream politics because the establishment does not
    need them, who ever is in power the basic agenda is the same , keep as much
    of the wealth , power and influence in the hands of the 5%'s . Which is what
    we are discussing on forums like this everyday, unfortunenatly we are th
    minority, which is why people like Russell who can get on mainstream have
    to take their chance . I would love to see Hendrick or David Icke on
    News night, RT would have them on and not ridicule them as the BBC would.

    The findings were detailed in a report from Policy Exchange, a Westminster-based think-tank.

    It called for an overhaul of the Electoral Commission and a new system of £80 fines for failing to register to vote.’

    Millions face years on the breadline: Britain has more long-term low-paid workers than ever

    Millions face years on the breadline: Britain has more long-term low-paid workers than ever








    ‘A generation of Britons is destined to spend years languishing in low-paid jobs barely
    above the minimum wage, with the number in poorly paid work at a historic high, a
    major report will reveal this week.

    More than five million workers are in low-paid work, with the proportion of people on
    low salaries rising from 21 to 22 per cent last year, according to the new research by
    the Resolution Foundation think-tank. It badly dents hopes of an economic recovery
    driven by consumer spending: millions are in jobs so poorly paid that they have little
    if anything left to spend after their basic needs have been met.’

    but it becomes apparent only when we get in power

    there is a greedy corporation inside every each one of us
    Thanks Dim, you sure did hit the hammer head on the nail, I have a similar view on human being in power!

    The fact that Russel gets a stage to spread his/this message makes my spidey senses tingle. Maybe I am paranoid, but something is not right with Mr. Brand IMHO.

    It is very easy for a Hollywood A-star to get blacklisted when they vent the wrong kind of opinion. I wonder if Russel has that problem at all, I suspect not.

    He is controversial, topical, and in-demand. Of course £ is involved, but media popularity is worth £'s, and so what if his views are against the investors - it's all to do with profit! Whoever is 'funding' Russell Brand, is getting lots of back-handers in profit. They don't give a hoot what he says, it's in 'their' interests to keep him 'profitable'. As soon as interest dwindles, he's down the drain on publicity.
    I enjoy his media visibility, and also his forthright truthful message to all - WAKE UP!!!

    He is a novelty a idiot in the view of the mainstream, and many in the alternate
    community, his comedy annoys me ..LOL . I think Russell is genuine, I have put
    up other threads where he spoke in front of a House of Commons committee
    about Drug and alcohol addiction. He has clashed with Peter Hitchins and other
    media heavyweights. He was on the Howard Stern show promoting his book
    last week , which is to X rated to post here , but some of it was interesting,
    he said when he was married to Katy Perry they went to Japan for a tour date for
    Katy, and they would not let him in for his drug convictions over a decade before,
    and because of his addictive personality he is like a over active puppy , note he is
    constantly sipping water from a bottle on many of his interviews.

    I don't think Russell is the messiah or Savior , but he is trying to help....



    Russell has done great work highlighting drugs awareness and
    spoke in front of a select House of commons committee, which
    was good. He is a comedian like Bill Hicks or George Carlin,
    not quite in their league yet imo but he is still young.

    Giovanni put up a thread about Red Ice last year...


    Question Red Ice Radio ~ Russell Brand's Fantasy of a Socialist Egalitarian Utopia

    A Special Commentary For Your Inspection Folks ...

    Published on Oct 28, 2013

    "In a recent diatribe on BBC, Hollywood actor Russell Brand with Jeremy Paxman spoke
    candidly about his desire to create a "Socialist egalitarian system based on the massive
    redistribution of wealth and heavy taxation of corporations." In this commentary we question
    Brand's so called "good intentions" and how qualified he really is to talk about these topics as
    a multi-millionaire. More importantly, we discuss his connection to the Fabian Socialist magazine
    the "New Statesman," of which he was co-editing for a week before his senseless speech and call
    for a revolution on TV."

    A couple posts from that thread...

    Thanks Giovanni, Russell is a 'addict' like many people, he throws himself into
    what he does. Watch him drinking his bottle of water or cup of tea on most of
    the interviews he does. He is not a leader more of a mouthpiece , a student
    who is having an impact on a generation tired of being trodden on.

    He has been in the gutter and is probably only a relapse away from going
    back, despite his wealth, which are the trappings of the his success. His
    motivation is genuine and he is first to say he is not a 'messiah' even
    though one of his tours was called the 'messiah' complex and his new
    tour 'Revolution' has probably not done to bad out of this publicity.

    None of the current political systems are perfect by any means , and
    incentive to work and create wealth is not bad in itself as Russell has
    said in other interviews. Its the redistribution that has failed, Why can't
    the 1 % be happy with a million pounds or even say up to 10 million a year.

    Success has been measured in £ & $ not happiness and the greater good
    of society. All systems breed elites, the CIA had a policy for the corporate
    take over third world countries by creating a small mega rich elite that
    oppressed their own populations to open up markets and exploit raw materials.

    What is not discussed in the mainstream is the real people/entities
    manipulating events behind the scenes as most revolutions in the past
    have been backed by some external financial power. I posted a good
    article yesterday about how the CIA manipulated foreign affairs, and
    other countries have done so before and will do so.

    You can go in many different directions with this, and it may not be
    possible to create a free and caring society for all in our current
    human mind set and it is why we are looking for new ideas. Look
    at Russell as a person just throwing out ideas for discussion and
    it has worked in stirring up a few people , but in it selfe he won't
    change the status Quo , he is to easily ridiculed but lets see where
    it goes and he certainly has done no harm imo.

    =================================================

    This fuss reminds me of the famous clip from the life of Brian..

    He's Not The Messiah ......" Brian leave that welsh tart alone".....



    An excellent recent interview that gives you a good insight into
    Russells current views is his conversation with Alex Jones...

    Russell Brand Blasts MSM Lies in Mindblowing Interview......



    After the interview he had Alex under his spell for a bit
    which is funny to see.

    Infact I have watched this interview four times in the
    last couple days as I posted it on the original thread.
    Alex asks many of the questions brought up over
    the last few days and Russell aquits himself well imo.
