are the big media companies who turned Russell Brand into a TV & Film celebrity now turning against him in a "co-ordinated attack"...?
(The same companies he helped make £££millions for, now turning on him)
1. Prior to the airing of an investigative documentary on C4 on saturday night, Ruseell uploaded his own video saying it appears he being set up and denies all allegations...

2. Channel 4 commissioned the "investigation documentary" into the claims made by 2 anonomous darkened out victims played by actors reading scripts. Yet they said they had received no complaints and there were no reports, memos or internal investigattions at all (at the time).
3 all the news channels have gone doo lallie about the claims and allegations insuating he's guilty without charge or a police investigation. (guilty by media trial)
3. Channel 4 are now apparently carrying out a full investigation into the claims regarding his behaviour betwwen 2006 and 2013 when he was employed by them.
(One would have thought they would have done that and
4. Now some keyboard warriors have picked up on a few interesting points questionning whether evidence in the documentary was faked...

5. Even more questions coming out in favour of Mr. Brand as people quesiton the actions of Channel 4...

Like him, love him or loathe him, Has he cleaned up his act, found (and sharing) his own "truth" as he shares all through his youtube channel?
Make your own mind up, but one thing's for sure, I dont think this is over. Do you?

The same happened recently to Till Lindemann (singer of Rammstein) in my country.
I assume it will be the same outcome for Brand as it was for them: police or prosecutors stopped investigations due to lack of evidence. The ones who blamed him (strangely all of the women were internet 'influencers') are now being sued for libel by Rammstein.
The media also did this campaign, especially the famous German MSM news mag Spiegel constantly attacked him with these allegations and a lot of exaggerated stories as it now seems.
Investigative (German but Russia-based) Journalist T. Roeper also suspects they did this because Lindemann and the entire band Rammstein have strong ties to the declared 'enemy' - Russia, Lindemann even did music videos in Russian with Russian actors and they also made a song about Moscow, one of their managers is Russian, they have also friends and private relationships there (but ties to Ukraine, too).

New “Spiegel Affair”
Public prosecutor stops investigations against Rammstein singer
Since the beginning of June, Der Spiegel has carried out an unprecedented smear campaign against the singer of the band Rammstein. The public prosecutor's office has now stopped the investigation. Will Spiegel have to answer for the damage caused?
August 30, 2023 3:58 p.m
On June 2nd, Der Spiegel published an article with the headline “ Row Zero” at Rammstein concerts – women accuse Till Lindemann of abuse of power and sexual assault ,” in which he accused Till Lindemann, the singer of the band Rammstein, of targeting young females Drugging and literally raping fans. The pretext for the smear campaign was posts from unknown influencers who tearfully recounted the alleged incidents.
In the three months that followed, Spiegel published a whopping 80 articles in which it continued its smear campaign against the band Rammstein. And that had consequences: There were protests at Rammstein concerts, calls for boycotts, the band's office was attacked by rioters, advertising contracts were canceled and so on.
I haven't reported on it in all these months, even though my fingers have been itching. The reason is that I didn't understand what was the reason for the Spiegel editorial team to launch this incredible smear and smear campaign against Rammstein, during which it was even repeatedly read in Spiegel that the band was anti-Semitic, which is what happened in Germany is known to be one of the worst accusations ever.
Was the reason that the band completely ignores the politically correct and “woken” zeitgeist and doesn’t care about the politically correct ideals and “Western values” propagated by politics and the media? Or was the reason Rammstein's popularity in Russia, where the band - at least before 2022 - has staged a major tour every year, filling huge football stadiums in many Russian cities? I don't know it.
Public prosecutor's office stops investigation
The fact is that there was no truth to Spiegel's allegations. Der Spiegel also reported on the public prosecutor's discontinuation of the investigation, but in very cautious terms. Der Spiegel lists the allegations again in its article and writes each time that there is “no evidence” for this, which sounds as if there is evidence that Lindemann committed these acts, but (unfortunately) it cannot be proven.
It sounds different with other media. rbb24, for example, writes that there is "no sufficient suspicion" and that there is "no evidence" that Lindemann became sexually active against the young women's will or even gave them drugs to make them weak and then abuse them . Der Spiegel repeatedly claimed all of this for almost three months.
And now – according to the public prosecutor’s office – there is not only no “sufficient suspicion” but not even “indications”. It sounded different in the mirror.
The smear campaign against Rammstein
The fact that this was a campaign against Rammstein - controlled by whoever and for whatever reason - is obvious from the fact that all the alleged witnesses and victims who cried so tearfully on social networks and told their shocking stories in Spiegel didn't even report to the public prosecutor's office. rbb24 writes:
“Women who may have been affected have not yet contacted the public prosecutor. If the public prosecutor's office becomes aware of the suspicion of a crime, it must investigate. Media reports can also be the trigger for this. The investigations against Lindemann primarily relied on press reports and anonymous tips.”
In plain language this means: The horror story circulated by Spiegel at the time was the reason for the public prosecutor's investigation. But not a single witness or victim has come forward to the public prosecutor's office, even though they reported in detail to Spiegel about everything Lindemann allegedly did to them.
No wonder: It's legal to make up stories and lie in the media, but knowingly filing a false report with the public prosecutor's office is a criminal offense.
The influencer who started the story also apparently made it up, as rbb24 writes:
“In addition, the YouTuber Kyla Shyx was also interviewed, who reported on her channel about her observations during a Rammstein concert. According to the public prosecutor's office, their descriptions were too vague and Shyx was not able to describe "his own experience of criminally relevant incidents."
She was unable to describe to the public prosecutor everything that she allegedly experienced and what she talked about in so much detail on social media and in Spiegel. In other words: She did not repeat her statements to the public prosecutor because then she would have made a false statement.
Compensation?
In Germany, defamation and slander are punishable by law. Personally, I sincerely hope that Rammstein will now take legal action against all those who launched this smear and smear campaign and kept it alive for three months. After all, the band - and Lindemann personally - suffered concrete damage if we remember canceled advertising contracts, the attack on the band's office and the calls for a boycott against Rammstein concerts.
Someone has to put an end to the Western media's habit of discrediting people with made-up stories. Maybe Rammstein has the courage to at least try that, even if that would certainly trigger another smear campaign from Spiegel & Co.

The accusations smell funny and the reporting of it too big. What other news is concealed behind this oh so newsworthy event?

It would help to post something about the actual claims being leveled against him as well... As there are many of them! And they span a long time frame..
https://news.sky.com/story/what-are-the-allegations-against-russell-brand-12963256
I won't post my own opinions of Russell Brand, as they are not very complimentary. I can only say this, I personally think he carries an undeserved air of "Self importance" that appears in his videos, and as such, one could only assume that he is the same way "off camera", perhaps even more so... I think it is possible the claims could be true.
Have a look at his youtube profile photo.... He has a "Halo" like image around his head as if he is somehow "angelic" or "Godlike"... Please... if this isn't self arrrogance at it's finest, I do not know what is....
https://www.youtube.com/@RussellBrand
Perhaps what he considers to be "Promiscious", is considered to be "Rape" in the "real world.... " I suppose we will learn more as things progress....
I think what will be most interesting, is how people react to such things, as we know there are pedophilia rings operating round the world, human trafficking, and some very perverse individuals among us.
Most of which are in positions of power and have fame and/or wealth as well.... I just hope people can detach from the fact that they may like what the guy has to say, long enough to let whatever evidence they do find, speak for itself.... Perhaps they ARE cracking down on such things, and there may be some in the alt community also guilty of such things...
But for now, he is innocent until proven guilty.
Will the community be able to accept that a mouthpiece for their beliefs could be guilty of such things? Or will they ignore everything and suggest it is just an attack on the alt media? I just hope people can stay in the middle until things progress and we find the real truth.

I regard RB as being overall on the wrong side and a bad person (look at his eyes!), who was for most of his career in service to the Establishment agenda.
But now he is being crushed because of the (few) things he says that are supporting the right side in the spiritual war*. Whatever the specifics of the accusations, by their own account it is clear that the Establishment was quite happy with RB's bad behaviors for many years (and happy to abet them), so long as he was 100% on-message and controlled. This is a show "execution" done with maximum publicity for the benefit of other elite opinion formers who might be considering going off-message, and asserting themselves, in any way at all.
*Analogous to Trump. DT had mostly wrong ideas and did mostly wrong things; but he was so vilified by the Establishment for the truths he spoke and the good things he attempted.

I've never felt comfortable with RB, as I don't with personalities with massive egos. However, I've respected his rights to whistleblow on whatever he felt needed to be shown. This indeed is a show 'execution', designed to put off those who want to tell a different narrative.
What better distraction, too, of a show trial of an individual who, because of his personality, is guaranteed to split the nation (or anyone who gives a damn) into the two camps - 'hate/love, guilty/innocent, genuine/controlled opposition, saint/sinner' etc etc., all abetted by the media who does these things so well.
I do believe he's been fitted up. It's interesting that this has kicked off since his interview with very popular Dr John Campbell, who has been trying to uncover the vaccine harms and deaths suffered by many many people who took the Jab/s It seems that truth-seekers cross a line when they try to uncover this. Because SO many people took this medical intervention, imo, it will be the one thing that will be capable of bringing the whole house of cards down very quickly if enough medically state-damaged victims wake up to find that they have nothing left to lose.
Also used as a useful distraction for the masses, this 'trial' will drag out to its excruciating end.

He's an actor. What you see in his videos is his acting persona. How he acts in private we'll probably never know.
On a personal note, I never found his persona appealing. That's a euphemism for "I'd change channel if he came on". (Back in the days when I owned a TV.)
But, recently, I subscribed to his YT channel because I like to monitor how he's waking the sheeples. He has over SIX MILLION followers. That's not bad for a UK comedian.

I'm inclined to agree with Denise/Dizi, although the Russell Brand of today is of a far higher calibre than the Russell Brand of 10+ years ago.
Ten years ago, RB was an out of control adolescent, a loud-mouth ex addict with ADHD and a mockney cockney accent (OK, still got that), and a reputation for going too far. His very public disrespect to a young girl of 20, together with his cohort Jonathan Ross – just for laughs - was unbelievably cruel, even though he paid for her stay in rehab as a result of his actions. His behaviour to other women on tv generally was deeply unpleasant, and it’s not hard to imagine an ego that large and uncontrolled would see “consensual” where there was nothing of the sort. I can also see that the women concerned would find it difficult to come forward at that time, as Russell Brand was so popular and larger than life.
And yet today, he’s morphed into a “Man of the People”, a spokesperson for the alternative community and uses his YT channel platform with 6.5m subscribers to point the finger at the same people we do. And he does it well. He’s a family man, with (3?) children, and presents top class and meaningful discussions with (amongst others) Jordan Peterson, Tucker Carlson, Witney Webb and (my favourite) Vandana Shiva
The trend of bringing historical “crimes” into the present is unjust and highly questionable, although if he did the crime then he should do the time. But my view is that he’s obviously upset somebody – one of the elite, or maybe more than one given his extensive interview content. He’s not the first and won’t be the last to suffer trial by social media, but it remains to be seen whether his popularity will carry him through.
Here's Nigel Farage's take on it, which is very fair given the animosity between them in the past.

I have been cancelled. I've gone through it and know, on a very small scale, what it feels like to be thrown under the bus unfairly. I often speak with passion and high drama from the passion, speak with confidence that I'm sure seems arrogant to some, and have been told that I sound way too dogmatic.
I cannot think of anyone on Earth, living or dead, that I believed every single thing they said was the truth. Even the ones that speak some of what I believe is the truth, the truth comes out of the mouth of a human being, a flawed, or imperfect human being just like you and me. Personality traits and delivery style get conflated into demonization and disbelief - the infamous, "kill the messenger."
Julian Assange has an arrogant affect, for an excellent example. Because the 9/11 perpetrators were smart enough not to put anything in writing, and so there was no written evidence in Assange's hands to form a case, Assange said, passionately, that it was crazy to jump on the 9/11 conspiracy bandwagon when he had no written proof of 9/11 high crimes but did have proof of other high crimes. Half the "alt" community still believes he's a gatekeeper for not pursuing 9/11 crimes and that he raped 2 women (and not the weird Swedish law stating that a broken condom equals rape.)
I could list a bunch of "alt" personalities that I am repulsed by their personality, but their words ring true. There are some, like the bearded long-haired guy that does some X-22 reports - I don't know his name - that are so snarky and arrogant I can't even listen to them. (By the way, I'm also bearded and long-haired - I only mention it as an identifier so I don't have to go look up his name.)
Russell Brand talks too fast, and often sounds arrogant to me. He's not nearly as funny as he thinks he is. He tries to be sexy, with the open-chested shirts and bad boy hair. He's a caricature of himself. Some may consider some of his flowy clothing and necklaces to be effeminate. He pontificates like a bible-thumping preacher. He appears to be confused at explaining the concept that we are really all one human species, brothers and sisters, and not differentiating between that and a one world government. He obviously has a past history of allowing his penis to drain the blood from his cranium, but being even outrageously promiscuous is a far cry from being a rapist. A lot of what he says is brilliant, but the delivery is so tainted by the "look at me!" ego-based, show-business, carnival barker personality that I have to fight to dismiss my emotional reaction to hear the substance of his words.
"Innocent until proven guilty - but I think he did it" is exactly the message that the Evil Overlords want you to hold onto. They don't have to prove anything, they accomplished their goal by demeaning his character in your mind, causing you to mistrust his words, his message.

My ex-girlfriend used to work as a pianist at the Savoy Hotel in London where Russel Brand often used to stay for long periods. The staff at the Savoy loved him, contrary to some comments on this thread he never looked down on people and was always on the level, joking with them and making their often challenging day more fun. He invited some of them to his shows for free and no not just the pretty girls. He was in total contrast to many guests at the Savoy who treat the staff like servants.
If anyone was really noticing Russell Brand from the beginning of his career he was always challenging many of the absurdities of our society. He was a comedian like the court jester challenging taboos and putting a mirror to the face of society.
I have been saying since the beginning of this forum to watch Russel Brand he is going to be a real voice for the spiritual movement challenging the powers that be and that is exactly what he has done.
Is he an angel, most definitely not and he is quite honest about it in his several books that I would recommend people to read if they want to have an informed judgement.

Thanking you by text as well as button. It's still word of mouth (ex-girlfriend) but closer to actuality than opinions and hunches formed through press reports and video viewings.
For what it is worth I don't care for his personality much either but as to being a womaniser as a younger man, good grief so what!
I was pretty much the same from 20-40 years of age. If I was attracted to a girl I tried to get to know her.
He was young, famous and attractive ='s money and girls. In his case drink and drugs too; I never walked a mile in his shoes and wouldn't habitually throw stones even if I had.
The message he shares with his followers today is good enough for me to indicate someone who turned the corner in maturity and is on a new path. Good for him, and the current fury in a tea-cup in the press currently is simply an attempt to cut his audience figures in my opinion.

The timing of all this....
I wouldn't be surprised if it was the interview with Tucker Carlson - YT - 1:06:22 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjX3ntOmvQk) that was the tipping point for the Elite wanna~be Global Dictators - it was the first interview that Tucker gave after being fired from Fox News.... and Russell got it... it's a great interview from both interviewee and interviewer .... and Tucker was on fire - but I can just imagine how it was received by the 'Evil Overlords' - and they decided to spread some muck - aim some poison at + around their enemies - and all those who oppose the growing authoritarianism... using Russell's past and zany personality as the main ingredient of their psychological attack -
Let's see where this goes - love him or loathe him - Russell Brand is a powerful individual who will fight back - (IMO)

He married Katie Perry who is a clear Illuminati puppet. I honestly think he is guilty of every accusation. He had a serious cocaine and alcohol problem during the time the assaults took place. His biggest problem was an over-inflated ego, which he brilliantly now reflects on. However, he seems to have become a real thorn in the side of the establishment. He dismantles their narrative with intellectual ease. Really this takedown must be like shooting ducks in a barrel for the establishment. Furthermore, should we even support him becomes a moral dilemma. I honestly think he left behind a world of debris and trauma to many vulnerable women!

I'm not a fan of Russel Brand, but I do have a certain respect for him, or more specifically what he does, nonetheless. I think the reality is that there's only one person (not including any potential victims) who really knows the truth, and that's Russel Brand. We don't know and we will likely never know, even if the evidence presented is substantial, because evidence can be created, supposed witnesses coached and courts paid off.
Inevitably it doesn't matter, because this kind of character assassination is damning in and of itself. Russel Brand's name will forever be spoken like this: 'Russel brand, who was accused of sexual assault in 2023, will be appearing...' which will immediately turn most people off without knowing anything about any of it. Simply making the accusation is an end unto itself.

If you were accused of something as horrific as rape, or similar, and given that Brand has chosen to speak out publicly what would you say?
He's chosen to speak on his YouTube channel and there is the perfect time to deny the specific allegations made. And only then you can make accusations about the accusers.
I just need to hear him say it. It would be "I didn't do it!" or "I didn't rape her" or "We had consensual sex, but I didn't rape her", would it not? I want to hear him say that, but so far he has not.
Brand has only said "I refute the allegations". OK, so we'll wait for a refutation. Has anybody yet heard one? He hasn't brought himself to say "I didn't" or any reliable denial, choosing instead to conflate rape (a crime) with promiscuity (not a crime) and that's very concerning to me.
Yes, people with unfashionable views opposed to official narratives are being silenced / cancelled, that is true. And some of his accusers might have genuine motives, money & fame- seeking motives or even both (yes, this does happen).
The investigations began in 2019 before his YouTube anti-establishment caper kicked off, so the idea it's all a conspiracy to silence him like eg Assange doesn't really make sense.

Many of us are aware of "Problem. Reaction. Solution" to mould, shape and implement an agenda....
...howerver, it appears the new method is "Cancel. Censor, then Punish"..
Youtube has suspended the monetisation of Russell Brand's Youtube channel apparently because of his views on Covid. Interestingly as reported by this UK NEWs channel, the same happened to them when they discussed Covid in their news reports.
This video is only 3.3m long and the reporter makes some interesting points...
ghhTPt9-0Ug
according to the uk news, his management have now dropped him, tours cancelled etc etc.
It also now appears that the reporters from the documentary dispatches tracked down the girls to interview them, and not the other way around. Sounds similar to the Tate brothers being accused by anonomous parties from incidents of 10 years ago.
He was free on youtube knocking the establishment and the party line, and now all is crumbling around him.
Eee me, wheres it all going to end.
one thing's for sure, Stephen Fry perhaps sums up his opinion of Russell rather eloquently (and accurately imo) in this interview from 8 years ago with some very interesting observations regarding Russell, politics and the way truth is perceived... ;)

bsg_wt_w4YM--1 of the comments on the show. ; "If there is penetration on an unwilling partner - it is rape by every law I can think of. That said, I don't think this has anything to do with justice, it has to do with a drugged out lover and a woman who was over her head when it came to him. That said, he has cleaned up, he is sorry, he has made amends so far as I can tell and we need to go from there. I have yet to meet Jesus, and Brand most certainly was not even close in those years. Can he and these women find peace - I hope so because this is a set up. People want him gone and they have dug up his murky past in order to do so. The greater harm would be for this to work and he be taken down because at that point none of you are safe - they will find whatever they can to get rid of you all."

It's funny I was just speaking to my son a few weeks ago and he was saying how he had seen some really interesting Russell Brand videos. He really has been reaching an audience outside of the usual choir. I was then saying how I agreed with him but I didn’t understand how they hadn't come after Russell Brand yet about his previous sexual relationships. I mean they got Assange with far less material to work with. We are all aware this is becoming an increasing tactic.
I don’t think Russell Brand has done anything legally wrong but justice seems to have been very much distorted of late especially for those challenging the establishment so he is in a very difficult situation.
I will say I do think his sexual behaviour has brought a lot of hurt and upset to some of his previous partners not necessarily by how he treated them but what their expectations were. Some of his many dalliances probably had hopes that it was something more, hopes of romance more than sex even if they played the part that it was just a bit of fun. Connections are made on a astral level through sex and a promiscuous lifestyle brings with it connections that are not easily severed, even if you think you have moved on.
As a young man, Brand was undoubtedly immersed in a rock and roll lifestyle, one that our culture often idealizes. However, the pursuit of sex without love can be a perilous endeavour. The saying, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned," comes to mind.
I do worry that after the obvious excesses and sexual deviance of the last 50 years we are heading to a sexual puritanism. A bit like 1984 meets The Handmaid's Tale. The pendulum swinging in the other way that in my opinion could be far worse than a more libertine society.

Going from the singular (he, alone is accused) to the need to highlight others, suggests guilt when a reliable denial is absent. Under an accusation, this is a psychological need to hide in a crowd. Narcissistic addicts routinely portray themselves as victims ("But mum, everyone else was doing it!").
To cite the "criminal accusation" but not address it with a denial is avoidance. The need for others in context of not addressing the specific allegation suggests that there is much guilt within the language.
Behavioural Analysis of a self-described sex addict and narcissist who is famous, wealthy and actively abusing substances suggests someone who will not accept the word "no." These factors alone do not address the possibility of illicit motive on the part of the accusers, the topic is that of being able to believe or disbelieve him. A good approach is to begin with the presumption that the subject is innocent and in order to discern deception, let the subject talk us out of believing him.

Glenn Greenwald dissects the media coverage of this incident. While acknowledging that the charges against Brand certain bear further investigation, he shows how the media is behaving in a most sleazy and unfair way to create a lynch mob.
While there is no proof (yet) that the media is intentionally doing this to assassinate Brand's character, Greenwald talks about how the media and politicians do indeed use trumped up allegations to destroy the reputations of those who challenge establishment narratives.

We have lost our way.
Russell Brand is innocent, until such time when he is proven guilty by a lawful trial by a jury of his peers. Or at least such was the way of Western Civilization since as far back as the Magna Carta. So now society is regressing back into the Dark Ages? Really? We're really going there?
I'm utterly shocked that Brand's YouTube channel has been cancelled and demonetized, based soley on accusations, and moreover, on accusations that have all the earmarks of being politically motivated. Whether he's guilty or not, I have no idea. Because I don't have any of the facts. Nor do any of the pontiffs spewing their vitriol or support. Accusations and opinions are not facts.
Don't misunderstand. My disgust does not conflate with my support of Brand, his character, or my belief in his innocence. My opinions are irrelevant. Or at least they should be. Whether the allegations are true or false, Russell Brand should be legally tried by a jury of his peers. Then--and only then--should anyone pass judgements that carry consequences on his liberties and life.
This war against the people, of dismantling our rights and freedoms, piece by piece, and right in the broad daylight and out in the open, appears as easy as taking candy from a baby. This is the only thing people should be discussing and talking about, IMHO

Here’s Why They’re Coming For Russell Brand
Sep 20, 2023 #TheJimmyDoreShow
Back when he was a hard-partying movie star, Russell Brand was the darling of the mainstream media. But ever since the British comedian started turning hard against the establishment, exposing the mainstream narrative on COVID, the Ukraine War and empire, the knives have been out for him. And now we know how they plan to get him, with a series of questionable rape allegations emerging from anonymous sources in his distant past.iGt6tu3fp_U

In one sense, it doesn't matter who the story is about. It's the "cancel, censor, punish" approach now being taken to "take out" those who are anti-establishment who are not accepting the "mainstream narrative".
I posted before about the Johnny Depp case, as for me personally. I "felt" a tsunami of human emotion across the globe of the injustice played out against Depp, in almost exactly the same way - cancel, censor, punish where he was dropped by Disney, other production companies dropped him and the mass rallying of the internet's ordinary folks wanting to help, and offer their support, even their own due dilligence and investigation to help J Depp's case.
Interestingly, as it turns out now, many of those hollywood coys that went against Depp lost hundreds of mlllions and Dior who supported Depp has gone on to make billions. I make mention of this not because of the money, but sometimes right and wrong are often "rewarded" exponentially.
For me it was a significant event and many small people standing together in unity to help one man, and I see a lot of parallels in this case of someone being accussed of things, "evidence" being manufactured (and found out), celebrity news and gossip being directed to negate publiciity and destroy someone's life, and the Main stream media going out of its way to achieve somene's agenda.
I think there will be more situations and cases like this (e.g. Joe Rogan) and many others who have large followers and the establishment are fearful of their influence on many millions of people with a single tweet, video or email to get their expose, message or "truth" out quickly, and so far for me, Russell appears to have beat them at their own game by sharing in advance what he said they were going to do, appears to have been done.
Remember,
1. The Brand documentary was commissioned by Channel 4 who employed Brand and had received no complaints about him.
2. Channel 4 stated they had not done an investigation, yet they made £45m in ad revenue, and still allowed the documentary to be aired.
3. If evidence has in deed been doctored that was aired and published by the broadcaster that will have implicaitons of its own.
4. Brand has always been full on transparent in his behaviour (of which not everyone likes) and has documented & publicised much of it
5. These allegations are 10 years old and had never been given to the police.
6. Brand has not been charged with any crimes by any legal authority.
7. He has been on a very interesting spiritual journey from many addictions to now amassing 6m followers from sharing his "truth"
Remember Margaret Thatcher's immortal words?
"A court of law is a place where you deal with these matters, If you ever get trial by television or guilt by accusations, That day is when freedom dies"
txbythH16-0
Will be interesting to see whose "truth" gets remembered in the long run, but one thing is sure I believe in "justitia omnibus", but as we know some very powerful people can go to great lengths to achieve their agenda and goals.
Whatever you think, believe and live your own "truth". ;)

'He has upset some very powerful people!' | Nigel Farage gives his take on the Russell Brand saga:
...
‘If you go out there and upset powerful people, you’ve got to be pretty clear that there’s nothing they can hit you back with!’
But critics don't get such huge press exposure. That only happens after struggling against censorship, then the story breaks reluctantly. That didn't happen this time, it's been showtime from start to finish.
On that point - about the excessive level of the attack on Russell Brand... the showtime...
I saw and watched this earlier and the video maker is highlighting the point about the dangers of discarding the 'innocent until proven guilty' foundation of the legal system...
But it was what he said about how Brand's past 'behavior' was perfectly ok with those ruthlessly attacking him now... when he was considered to be an asset + on their side and I think that is why the attack is so deep and deadly to his career now it has taken a different path - 'they' don't like anyone that (in essence) changes sides... a special level of viciousness is reserved for them - I don't think Russell would think of what he's done as 'changing' sides...just following the truth and evidence..... but his previous friends and supporters now turned deadly enemies....for example Channel 4.... will not see it like that and the billionaire globalist cabal are applying their very own Trial By Media to try and destroy him... plus sending out their paid Influencers / foot soldiers to flood social media ....
The level of viciousness being meted out to Russell now is like the total viciousness that Trump has been subjected to - (IMO) because he broke ranks as a billionaire and went the MAGA way rather than the Globalist way...
Russell Brand broke ranks and as InfoWars says.... 'there's a war on for your mind' and Russell could be compared to the soldier who is shot by their own superior officer on the battlefield if they disobey orders + desert -
just looked this up for interest's sake... (https://www.1418now.org.uk/commissions/the-306-dawn/ww1-heritage-the-306-dawn/#:~:text=306%20British%20and%20Commonwealth%20soldiers,and%20suffering%20from%20shell%2Dshock.)
306 British and Commonwealth soldiers who were shot for desertion or cowardice during World War I. Most were sentenced after a short trial at which no real opportunity for defence was allowed. Today it’s recognised that many of them were underage and suffering from shell-shock.
edit to add (https://www.quora.com/Did-Britain-execute-deserters-during-WWII) - the death penalty for desertion was abolished in 1930 (Britain)... but there was prison and public ostracism/humiliation - this is a better comparison for what's happening to Russell maybe...
I'm going off on a tangent a bit but I do think the war aspect and what happens to deserters is relevant - Russell will be seen as someone who deserted the woke/left cause -( ironically and paradoxically a cause lead by the richest people on the planet seeking total domination -) and he is being punished for desertion -

Imagine if this accusation didn't swamp out all other news.
Imagine if this was a legal matter with appropriate press coverage not a media circus.
What else has been happening while our focus is on this? Similar to the Titan sub where the implosion was heard early on, but the media pretended it was still a mystery and it also swamped out all other news.

Assange, Salmond and NOW Brand | MOATS with George Galloway Ep 274
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Slv3caq0bSE&ab_channel=GeorgeGalloway 18.59 minutes
The first 14 minutes of George Galloway's monologue are given over to Russell Brand, where George gives a good account and posits reasons why this should be happening now.
So, just as Nigel Farage took on the banks a few months ago, and won, this is a pivotal opportunity for Russell Brand to gather himself and strike back hard at his adversaries, exposing them publicly and getting a huge pay-out. If he's innocent, that is, and if he has the courage.

They Would Love to Silence Him:
vAWrYt1A73s
The fact these women went to the media and not to the police tells you something ain't right ... Legal system states : “innocent until proven guilty”. Honestly, this seems to be a witch hunt, if you were a victim of assault, the approach would be to report the alleged crime to the police and take legal action in the courts... not the media. These allegations are going to damage this man’s life even if proven innocent. Sadly, if these allegations are proven slanderous, the accuser will walk away free with no repercussion.

Interesting legal opinion by the "Blackbelt barrister" on Rumbles taking the opposite of Youtube, and stands up for Free speech.
Should everyone be free to share their voice, thoughts and truth?
Does the UK govt have a statutory obligation to investigate content that causes potential harm and demand it is removed?
Is the UK Govt allowed to write to private companies and stop their payments/contractual obligations to people to sharing their "truth"?
What is the real reason behind these allegations to warrant the over-reach of Govt? Is it just a knee-jerk reaction?
It appears the blackbelt barrister draws similarities (like me) to the johnny Depp trial by media and the big question is had defamation occurred against Russell and has it caused harm to him?
For me, - yes. and you?

They own the MSM mouthpiece. The main thing that influences the mainstay of the public. Time is on there side I suppose they figure.

Thanks for saving that. The Rumble CEO response was the response to this opening salvo. This might really back-fire on Dinenage whose husband, lest we forget, serves/ed on the 77th Brigade of the British Army. Regular viewers here know what the 77th Brigade is all about....

"I see Caroline Dineage MP has been going in heavy on social media companies who publish Russell Brand's "conspiracy theories", trying to tell the likes of rumble what they can and can't publish online.
Meanwhile in other news her husband is a former Deputy Commander of the Army's 77th Brigade, the unit which tackles legitimate criticism of the British government by British citizens online, err... sorry... I mean tackles misinformation and disinformation online by bad foreign actors.
I expect it's all just another coincidence."

Interesting overview from the Blackbelt Barrister - which boils down to..... if there isn't more than unsubstantiated accusations and nothing goes to court then the Government could be prosecuted for defamation -
He said that he feels there must be more or the Government wouldn't have taken this step - but I don't think this is an automatic assumption because Governments in the West are drunk on their own power and they could easily make a big error...
Let's imagine for a minute how the women involved in this are feeling right now... there they were minding their own business getting on with their lives - their associations with Russell Brand well in the past - when Channel 4 seeks them out.... (hunts them down...?)......
Are they sleeping at night? - How did the Channel 4 team persuade them to get involved...? Have the women realized yet how they are being shamelessly USED for political reasons and nothing to do with them or because Channel 4 etc actually care one little bit about them - but the pressure is all on them to make formal complaints + the whole thing rests on their shoulders - who would want to be in their position right now.... will they have to face Russell in court - is the pressure getting worse now the government has got involved - perhaps the government got involved to increase the pressure on the women -
They may have been promised things if they got involved or emotionally blackmailed to be part of taking Russell Brand down...
If the women feel that they are being used - they may turn the tables.... who knows
But I know that I wouldn't want to be in their shoes now + the Govt and MSM haven't done them any favours - they have just USED them... for political ends...

There is something extremely off about the whole story.
Any other youtuber with the content that RB puts forward would not just have been demonitized, he/she would have been deplatformed. It's as simple as that.
No serious channel with this kind of content would have been allowed to even acquire that amount of followers without the consent of TPTB.
I believe what is really happening is an "anti establishment validation pantomime program (restoring credibility to the pretend anti establishment figures that are placed in the fakestream media to control the perception of a certain demographic)".
This story is all over the media, absolutely viral with the effect that people are outraged the principle of the presumption of innocence is being violated. All women making accusations now did not go to the police but were somehow "found" by the media during an investigation that has been going on for four years.
People are outraged RB's life is being disrupted so unfairly and claim this will be a lasting blemish on him when in fact the number of his subscribers has even increased since the story went viral and he is getting support from many different sides. People claim he is being cancelled when it fact every single British newspaper (and many others) keeps talking about it, going on and on and on.
If the aim was to cancel him , he would simply disappear.
People completely ignore who RB really is and what he stands for. All one has to do is look into his background to see he is part of "the club". Years ago he tried to get young people to join his "club" on youtube. Those videos have disappeared completely as it became clear they wouldn't get him many subscribers. Now he is doing what those looking for the truth are doing, though not doing any genuine research, just taking msm news stories and ripping them apart (very easy to do when you know what is going on which he certainly does and quite cheap to produce) while at the same time cosying up to

More on the Mark Lancaster and Caroline Dinenage intelligence agency connection here, from The GrayZone although those of us here with some knowledge on how these things operate aren't in the least surprised.
I'm extracting only that relevant part as the opening paragraphs present what we already know, that's been reported here, and more widely, already.

UK info-warrior power couple takes aim at inconvenient online truths

Caroline Dinenage served as the UK government’s Digital and Culture minister from February 2020 to September 2021, making her de facto chief of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).
In this capacity, she was personally responsible for overseeing construction of the repressive, World Economic Forum-endorsed Online Safety Bill, which has been criticized by rights groups for threatening the rights to free expression, and privacy. For her leading role in crafting the speech-muzzling bill, Dinenage was honored by Princess Royal with the title of Dame Commander of the British Empire.
Moreover, during this period, the DCMS was home to the shadowy, intelligence official-run Counter-Disinformation Unit (CDU), which policed “COVID-19 disinformation narratives” online.
Investigations (https://bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/2023/06/fact-checking-govt-fact-sheet/) by the civil liberties organization Big Brother Watch have revealed that instead of suppressing content that posed risks to public health, the CDU was preoccupied with censoring and deplatforming reasonable online criticisms of the British government’s Covid-19 response, including opposition to lockdowns and vaccine passports.
According to an official fact sheet (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/fact-sheet-on-the-cdu-and-rru), the CDU’s focus turned to the Ukraine proxy war in 2022, and particularly to targeting content suggesting “the Bucha massacre and the bombing of the maternity hospital in Mariupol, Ukraine, were both hoaxes.”
Dinenage’s husband is Mark Lancaster, a fellow information warrior dedicated to advancing the propaganda goals of the British government. Lancaster reportedly left his wife and four-month-old daughter in 2013 when he began dating Dinenage, who was herself married at the time to a British Naval officer.
A former Conservative MP and Armed Forces minister, Lancaster helped lead London’s blitz on pandemic dissent as deputy commander of the British Army’s 77th Brigade between June 2018 and July 2022.
Specialized in “behaviour and attitudinal change,” the 77th Brigade maintains a vast militia of real, fake, and automated social media accounts to disseminate and amplify pro-state messaging, and discredit domestic and foreign enemies.
During the pandemic, the 77th Brigade targeted people within Britain and across the West with advanced psychological manipulation strategies honed on battlefields against enemy militaries. The online profile of a 77th Brigade veteran notes they were deployed straight from a tour of the Middle East – where they “successfully implemented behavioral change strategies against ISIS” – to “countering dis- and misinformation during the Covid-19 crisis.”
However, in January, an ex-Brigade whistleblower revealed how the Ministry of Defence and RRU routinely circumvented British law to advance the government’s crusade against pandemic dissent:
“To skirt the legal difficulties of a military unit monitoring domestic dissent, the view was that unless a profile explicitly stated their real name and nationality, they could be a foreign agent and were fair game. But it is quite obvious that our activities resulted in the monitoring of the UK population…These posts did not contain information that was untrue or coordinated [emphasis added].”
As The Grayzone revealed in June 2023, British journalist Paul Mason had attempted to submit a “formal complaint” about The Grayzone to DCMS, believing it would trigger a government investigation into this outlet’s “funding and activities,” and ultimately its deplatforming. Mason’s handler, a British intelligence agent named Andy Pryce, boasted in leaked emails (https://thegrayzone.com/2022/06/13/paul-masons-collusion-british-intelligence-agent/) of his personal role in YouTube’s banning of “Russian stuff” in Britain. The CDU has been confirmed as the government body responsible for these censorship demands.
Now, this shadowy, intelligence-linked entity appears to be the spearhead of the campaign to silence Russell Brand.

We have been working closely with the major social media platforms to monitor and share information as the situation in Ukraine develops.

Growing anger about the Russell Brand 'situation' and the letters written to a whole host of media outlets attempting to silence and financially damage him.....
Gosport Conservative MP and Chair of the Culture, Media and Sports Committee - is accused of undermining the rule of law -
Dame Caroline Dinenage Must Resign(7:46)
Wfxm7_aCjww
The Gosport constituency is considered a safe conservative seat with a big majority - but it doesn't have much luck with it's MPs - the one before Dinenage, stood down after getting embroiled in the parliamentry expenses scandal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Gosport_Conservative_primary) and now this.... I hope pressure is put on the Gosport Conservative Association (https://www.gosportconservatives.org/) to deselect her and I also hope that Reform UK get stuck into campaigning in this constituency...
Although faith in the Political Class in the UK must surely be at an all time low... leaving them to their own devices (vices being the operative word) - is not the answer (IMO) - this is why we need people willing to go into the belly of the monster to challenge them on their own turf... or they will carry on regardless - the Conservative Party and Labour Party are clearly both working with the WEF, WHO and UN... to erode freedoms and they will use any lies and nonsense to do that...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Caroline Dinenage and her cohorts are more of a threat to Britain than Russell Brand could ever be..... there's no contest..... and I can't stand the way they weaponize vulnerable groups and individuals to pretend they care...
This whole thing is purely political.... and an attack on Free Speech...

IMO: The main thing we ought to do with the RB issue is look behind it, since the mainstream always makes Big Stories out of lies and evil-intent. As of 2023; we should Never accept the framing or 'facts' of the mainstream media, or mainstream anything (government, corporations, institutions - including churches).
So, first up, this business is deliberately crafted as an attention- and energy-sink.
Second, the issues as presented are Not the real issues behind this event.
Thirdly; the media's choice of moral issues always have evil on both sides. If this was a case of good versus evil, we would not be hearing anything about it: certainly we would not be able to take the side of good simply by opposing the mainstream.
What They always do is present us with the choice between a more and less extreme evil. That way They will always win (so long as people agree to play).
I would say that RB is very clearly and in essence a nasty piece of work. As somebody pointed out, when we nowadays look at any footage or photo of Jimmy Savile; it seems very obvious that he was always a very nasty piece of work: just look at his eyes! -- although only a minority knew in what exact way he was nasty (I knew from 1990-ish, via friends in the BBC) - yet very few people would acknowledge this at the time. Even as a child in the 1960s, I was spontaneously repelled by Savile (plus, a friend's father had known Savile as child in Leeds, and strongly disliked him, his face expressed extreme disgust when talking of him, so that I remember even now).
Similarly with RB - just look at him: look at his eyes! Allow your intuition to respond to his general impression. All my instincts tell me that there is a lot wrong with RB (as he now is, as well as what he surely was), although I am not in a position to know exactly what that wrongness is.
I therefore think we ought not allow ourselves to be drawn-in to this business except to try and understand the issues, especially from the point of view of the Establishment, The System - and I think it is pretty obvious what They have to gain from this business.
Once we have understood, in general terms at least (because we can do no more) what is really going-on; I think we should mentally step back and concentrate on other matters.

I think its a shame that Russell Brand is being likened to Jimmy saville, with no due process, and his income being cut off.
Regardless of his hollywood fame, millions of youtube subscribers and millions in the bank, he has evolved, grown and been on his own spiritual journey in sharing his own truth.
that truth appears to refer to his various addictions, and indiscretions over the years.
I also think at this stage of the allegations, lets not forget that there is another side to him:
He's not afraid to tackle controversial or taboo subjects in his comedy. For me, this fearlessness adds depth and substance to his humour.
Russell Brand is an advocate for various social and political causes. His activism and engagement in discussions about addiction, mental health, and inequality have earned him respect beyond his comedy career.
He certainly possesses a keen intellect and uses it to craft thought-provoking comedy. His ability to dissect complex topics and present them in a humorous way is impressive.
I think for me, a key point which does stand out from celebrities accused of similar things, through his autobiographical works and public statements, he has shown a willingness to engage in self-reflection and personal growth, which is an admirable trait and has often referred to his "old" promisicuous ways but nothing criminall or illegal (other than his addictions.)
Love him or like him and whether on stage or in interviews, Brand is an articulate and eloquent speaker. He has a way with words that captivates audiences (upto 6.5m subscribers on Youtube.)
He has been involved in charitable activities and philanthropic efforts, demonstrating a commitment to making a positive impact on society.
For me, I think his apparent honesty and vulnerability in discussing his own struggles with addiction and mental health make him relatable not just to me, but to many people who face similar challenges or who indeed may be on their own "journey" of searching for their truth and waking up to what's really going on in the world.
(at the current moment I see many parallels with him and trump each with their own accusers and allegations whilst trying to pursue their own truth.)
In addition to having met with (and joined on stage) his holiness the 14 Dalai Lama, I think It's important to note that while Russell Brand has many positive attributes, he is also a complex individual with a history of controversy and criticism.
However, like many before him who fall foul of the press and media, his positive qualities have played a significant role in establishing him as a prominent figure in the entertainment and activism worlds which could be perceived as being turned against him for speaking out bout Biden, Covid, us politics.
One thing for sure he appears to have found 2 interesting allies - Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk, both whom have a massive reach online with huge audiences.
(I also seem to recall a positive interview with him and Trump, but cant remember how their "take" on each other, now.)
Would be interesting to get Satori's take on this whole defamation perspective and the UK govt over-reaching and trying to persuade social media channels to cancel him and cut of income - withot any due process or criminal investigation having begun.

My feelings for Russell Brand, although I only know him through the media, are ambivalent. On the one hand he has the wit, confidence and contacts to take care of himself, but on the other he has a family and, according to Google, 10,000 employees, to take care of. This is a very big factor
In my view, this is about more than Russell Brand now; it’s rapidly becoming a fight for Human Rights, and the foe is the Left or, as they’re commonly known now, “The Blob”. What is happening to Russell Brand will eventually affect all of us, and not for the better, and for this reason alone we should all stand behind him. If Russell Brand’s going to take on the Blob, he has to find out exactly who’s behind it and go from there. I’m sure his legal team are on the case already and at least he has the money to do this.
More than one person is calling for the resignation of Caroline Dinenage, (who’s another Alison Rose imo, the ex-CEO of National Westminster Bank plc, who resigned recently with a £2.4m payout). And I hope Mrs Dinenage resigns too, which she will if enough of the “right people” make a fuss. But she’s just a small cog in a very big wheel.
However, there’s still that nagging doubt that at least one of his accusers is telling the truth.

There is a reason this is all in the mainstream - it is for them, everyone else should already know by now what is going on.

You bet there's a reason - could well be be the perfect distraction from the fact that the Online Safety Bill and all that entails for our internet freedoms, is about to passed into Law. What a great way to bury bad news!

When you think about it, I think the majority of 'influencers' - especially in politics, have a skeleton in their cupboard, known (and sometimes orchestrated by the elite, via honey traps) and held over them as a control leash so that the influencer behaves themselves, ie, continues the Narrative. Whether RB is actually guilty (and he could well be part of the 'game') it explains why so many in positions of power or influence have stayed silent for so long.

According to our dear legacy media (Sunday Times, The Times, and the Channel 4 investigation) these are the details of the allegations, made by four women, against Brand:
One woman alleges that Brand raped her without a condom against a wall in his Los Angeles home. She says Brand tried to stop her leaving until she told him she was going to the bathroom. She was treated at a rape crisis centre on the same day, which the Times says it has confirmed via medical records
A second woman, in the UK, alleges that Brand assaulted her when he was in his early 30s and she was 16 and still at school. She alleges he referred to her as "the child" during an emotionally abusive and controlling relationship. Looking back, she says, he "engaged in the behaviours of a groomer"
A third woman claims that Brand sexually assaulted her while she worked with him in Los Angeles. She alleges she repeatedly told Brand to get off her, and when he eventually relented he "flipped" and was "super angry". She says he threatened to take legal action if she told anyone else about her allegation
The fourth woman has alleged being sexually assaulted by Brand in the UK and him being physically and emotionally abusive towards her.
Article... (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66897715)
These all took place between 2006 and 2013.
The pretty obvious (and mostly rhetorical) questions are:
Where were the police, what were they doing? These are serious offences. Why wasn't Brand arrested, there and then, on each of these occasions? Why no investigation in all these years? Why the silence of these women for all these years? ...Why now? And why is the government getting involved, writing letters to silence and ruin a man on the grounds of "allegations"? And on that point, since when did ''allegations" mean guilty? Since when is a man convicted before he's even been charged?

Piers Morgan Uncensored is joined by Daily Wire political commentator Michael Knowles to react to the news of a letter from MP Caroline Dinenage being sent to social media platform Rumble questioning whether they will suspend monetisation of the controversial star Russell Brand amidst abuse allegations being made against him.
Piers thinks it is absolutely ridiculous that MPs are getting involved in this situation as Brand has not been found guilty and it sets a dangerous precedent as they are "preemptively convicting him".
Michael tells Piers: "YouTube and Rumble are not supposed to be enforcing the law."
Gutfeld + Guests Reacts To Russell Brand Sexual Assault Allegations:

'Gutfeld!' panelists react to actor and comedian Russell Brand being accused of the rape and sexual assault of four women, which Brand denied.
Brand was so critical of the Right for so long and now it's the Right who are the only ones defending him.
Greg's monologue about a sick and perverse cultural oddity (cancellation via allegation) is spot on. Not only was he absolutely correct, the panel augmented his opinions. Well done.
I remember Brett Kavanaugh accusations that were completely false.
The odd thing is they never went after him at the height of his career, only when he actually started speaking on facts.
Good for Rose McGowan for saying that the alleged victims have to come forward and not indict someone based upon “anonymous” claims.
Thank you Gutfeld for your effort of pouring some water on this heated story and the way they are publicly convicting him already.
Accusers with false accusations, should receive the same sentence the accused would have received. That alone will slow down these false accusations.

One trap that we all tend to fall in - in such issues, and because of the way they are deliberately presented - is to insist upon proper "legal procedure"; which implicitly assumes that such a procedure leads to the truth, and its outcomes should be relied-upon.
That just isn't the case, in a society (like ours) where there is no intent to be honest or to serve justice. It has been for many years, and still is, almost trivially easy for those with power to follow procedures, while getting whatever is their desired result.
In other words; in reality it really makes no difference either way whether someone is alleged-against, charged, tried, acquitted or convicted - because as of here-and-now, we simply cannot rely on The System to lead us to the truth.
And therefore those who oppose the totalitarian system need to be careful that we are not indirectly endorsing the validity of totalitarian procedures by demanding what will never happen in the system as-is - i.e. a 'fair trial', 'justice', honesty etc.
In other words; I think we should not be implying (by our reactions, by our responses - and, most importantly, in our own minds!) that if someone like RB was charged, tried and a legal decision was reached - then that result ought-to-be-regarded as valid and true, because it was arrived at by 'proper procedures'.
What all this means in practice; is that external sources cannot and should not be trusted; and each of us should be making up his mind on issues we judge to be of significant importance (which the RB business is not, IMO) on the basis of (for example) whatever information sources we regard as reliable, whatever inferences are most rigorous and appropriate, and (vitally) spiritual intuition.
However; while we may assert and defend our conclusions; we should not expect other people to agree with us! Yet, surely, the important thing is that we ought to take as much personal responsibility for our own views as possible. It is our-selves (our highest selves) that we need to satisfy, not 'other people'.

as a couple they could be circumstantially responsible for countless 'vaccine' induced deaths, injuries and mental health issues -
but we are supposed to start jumping up and down pointing the finger at Russell Brand because unsubstantiated allegations from over ten years ago are made - via a TV station 'investigation'....

Fair play to Russell for focusing in his video response to raising awareness of the "Online safety Bill", a piece of legislation aimed at at apparently improving online safety and reducing harmful content on the internet. Unfortunately the wider public know very little about this piece of legislation and the far reaching (if not over reaching) powers that the Govt is wishing to have on content publishers and social media platforms and its potential negative impacts on freedom of speech. (it certainly appears the govt are trying everything to silence Russell and what he is sharing about Covid, The Ukraine, Biden et al.)
As I understand it, some concerns about the new "online safety bill"include:
Overbroad Definitions
Critics argue that the bill's definitions of harmful content and harmful communications are overly broad and vague, potentially leading to overreach and censorship of legitimate speech that may be deemed offensive or controversial but not necessarily harmful.
Chilling Effect
The fear of potential fines and legal consequences for online platforms may lead them to overly restrict user-generated content and implement strict content moderation policies. This "chilling effect" can discourage individuals from expressing their opinions freely online.
Lack of Clarity
The bill lacks clear guidelines on what constitutes harmful content and doesn't sufficiently differentiate between harmful speech and protected speech, which could result in the suppression of legitimate political discourse, satire, or artistic expression.
Private Censorship: The bill places the onus on online platforms to police and remove harmful content, effectively turning them into de facto censors. Critics argue that this could lead to the suppression of diverse viewpoints as platforms may adopt a risk-averse approach to avoid legal repercussions.
Disproportionate Penalties
Some have expressed concerns about the potential for disproportionately high fines for online platforms that fail to remove harmful content swiftly. This could incentivize overly aggressive content removal policies, which may stifle legitimate discussions and content sharing.
Impact on Small Platforms, publishers & content creators
Smaller online platforms may struggle to comply with the bill's requirements due to limited resources. This could result in these platforms either shutting down or overzealously censoring content to avoid legal liabilities, limiting user choices and competition.
Lack of Safeguards
Critics argue that the bill lacks adequate safeguards against abuse and misapplication. They fear that it may be used to target certain political or ideological groups, stifling dissent and limiting democratic discourse.
Surveillance Concerns
The bill may encourage the collection of extensive user data to monitor and enforce content removal, raising concerns about online privacy and government surveillance.
Is it just a matter of time before other govts (USA and futher afield) launch similar legislation to control the internet?
For me, while the Online Safety Bill aims to protect users from harmful content and online abuse, there are concerns that its broad definitions, potential for over-censorship, and lack of clear safeguards may inadvertently restrict freedom of speech and expression on the internet and at the same time, destroying people's right to earn income and revenue from sharing their content, facts and "truth".

Fair play to Russell for focusing in his video response to raising awareness of the "Online safety Bill"...
Yes although he's always late to the party. The bill has passed by the time he drew attention away from him onto it. People might think his heart is in the right place but he's unlucky.

Couple of very interesting points made (Listen carefully from 3:32 onwards about Caroline Dynage's husband The UK Govt and the psychological warfare division. The plot thickens...
KrLyCMtZHtQ
Also, I am remdinded of Alex Salmond, the former First Minister of Scotland who faced a series of accusations of sexual misconduct in 2018, leading to a very high-profile court case that resulted in accusations in the media and destroyed his political career, however...
Here's a summary of the accusations, the outcome of his court case, and the evidence presented. Does the approach sound familiar?
Multiple Allegations
Several women accused Alex Salmond of sexual misconduct, including allegations of sexual harassment and attempted rape. These alleged incidents took place during his time as First Minister and within the Scottish government.
Outcome of Court Case
Not Guilty Verdicts: In March 2020, Alex Salmond faced a trial in the High Court of Edinburgh. The jury returned not guilty verdicts on 12 charges, including charges of sexual assault, attempted rape, and indecent assault.
These acquittals cleared him of the criminal charges brought against him.
One Charge, Not Proven
Salmond was found not guilty on a further charge of sexual assault with intent to rape. However, the jury returned a verdict of "not proven" on this specific charge, which is a unique verdict in Scottish law indicating that there was insufficient evidence to prove guilt but also insufficient evidence to prove innocence.
The Evidence?
Testimonies: During the trial, both the accusers and Alex Salmond provided testimonies. The defense argued that some of the alleged incidents either did not occur or were misinterpreted, emphasizing inconsistencies in the accusers' accounts.
Witnesses?
Several witnesses testified during the trial, including individuals who were present during some of the alleged incidents. Their testimonies were used to corroborate or challenge the accusers' accounts.
Documents and Messages
Text messages, emails, and other documents were presented as evidence. Some of these communications were used to support the defense's argument that there was no criminal behavior involved.
It's important to note that the court case resulted in Alex Salmond's acquittal on the majority of charges, with only one charge ending in a "not proven" verdict. After the trial, Salmond was critical of the process and suggested that there had been a political conspiracy against him, but these claims did not change the court's findings.
Let's not also forget Trump, Assange et al....
...Aye, thiswhole debacle about freedom of speech in the UK and further afield is now getting the limelight it deserves, especially when Channel 4 and Times total subscribers are less than Russell brands. Makes you wpmder about motives, eh? ;)

On closer inspection itseems to me that RB as a phenomenon is the perfect public figure for more polarisation (,not unsimilar like Trump),and thats probably the bigger fish than the person RB himself because they know he cant be completely silenced but he can be the big distraction to argue about because there is so much to disagree about him & his outspoken opinions: ,
-his irresponsible hedonistic past & his drug abuse
-the way he treats(ed) women,
-his alleged connection with the 'Illuminatie' (because of the family of his wife),
-his 'narcissistic ' personallity & ridiculed 'guru' aspirations
-or him being 'controlled opposition',
-and ofcourse the unfair trial by the media and the 'dirty' intervention of government to destroy a freedomfighter to make an example out of him..
.Plenty of issues to be disgust about ( apparently for everybody something!:Party:)
,and dozens of things to disagree about with different minded people,we can discus him forever without ever coming to a 'consensus' ! :facepalm:
Mr Brand has some really big challenges on his plate to deal with so much controversy in 1 person!.
But ive got this feeling that he somehow will handle it by pointing all this out like his own case just being a distraction from whats really going on,lets see..:pop2:

I also have a memory of talking about that bill, but I couldn't find it.
That subject would be in line with his focus though.

as i understand it, the online safety bill has been passed by parliament, just waiting royal ascent.
However, the other important thing that Brand shares with a "sleeping" populus is the "Trusted News Initiative"
Which is a partnership, founded by the BBC, that includes organisations from around the globe including; AP, AFP, BBC, CBC/Radio-Canada, European Broadcasting Union (EBU), Financial Times, Information Futures Lab, Google/YouTube, The Hindu, The Nation Media Group, Meta, Microsoft, Thomson Reuters, Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, Twitter, The Washington Post, Kompas – Indonesia, Dawn – Pakistan, Indian Express, NDTV – India, ABC – Australia, SBS – Australia, NHK – Japan.
Is this an attempt to silience the small independent voice online, demonitise them and stop them fro sharing the "Truth" ?
Hmmmm. They actually appear to be blatantly reinforcing and executing their agenda.

Jimmy Dore is eloquent making interesting points. Mostly preaching to the choir on this forum but with all the publicity this is going to be reaching a lot of people and is covering a lot of ground.

Famous men whom represent the archetype of the agressive,macho alpha male -like Russell Brand ,(or Donald Trump and Andrew Tate,,to name a few who are all considered super controversial)-,pushing many buttons to trigger people into anger ,outrage and even condemnation .
I dont think thats new in itself because weak,frustrated men have always instinctively felt threatened & envied courageous succesful alpha's ,and these type of alpha men seem to thrive on that opposition ,because they're still strong in a degenerated weak society and need -(and probably subconsciously want?)-to be challenged and pushed into higher gear!
In that sense i dont feel sorry for Russell ,because he choose this role himself and i think it fits him for he has the potential to be a victorious warrior who can handle big challenges ,I see in him a man who is driven strongly to accomplish someting substantial, and i feel(hope) he wants freedom,justice & truth to win and the world need such strong warriors to win this war!
So , not unlike Tucker, this fight might make him stronger & more determined then ever!
While mr Global might overestimate his own powers of cheating & corruption, perhaps he understimates the power of people who are willing to sacrifice their safety for the sake to be allowed to speak the truth ! -

Here's a video looking at another angle at RB 's past,trying to prove he is 'chosen' by the cabal to mislead the spiritual 'awakening' crowd.
His analyses about RB's acting role in the 2012 olympics opening ceremony is interesting as an example of predictive programming but it doensnt prove RB was aware of that nor that he didnt changed his mind in the 11 years that has passed since,(in fact RB said himself that he actually DID change his mind and had a kind of Saulus/Paulus experience)
The next argument about RB keeping his listeners prisoned in their false 'birthcertificate identity' is way too subjective to be considered seriously.and then the point that RB 's case is disempowering because he is giving power to the victim mentality .(absolute nonsense so there i stopped watching, dont know if there is a some better points later in the vid..).
Wow so much effort trying to prove that "he cant be a good man even though he is saying all the right things!' Well with that type of reasoning you can trust nobody anymore.
Its a pity that some still cant see that speaking the truth & advocating for free speech & critical thinking is always a good thing no matter who it is!--Starts at 3.23. SUrM0pJXEac---

Russell Brand - Establishment Wolf In Sheep's Clothing Or Man Of The People?
"Many years ago I felt I had seen a pattern surrounding a possible concept of predictive programming and Russell Brands introduction into the world of spirituality and politics. This took place in the Olympic 2012 ceremony and also the establishment media randomly promoting his children's book. In light of recent events I revisited this topic, not to kick a man whilst he his appearing to be down, but to ask if this was all predicted in that ceremony, and there are many small coincidences to suggest it was.
I may be making a fool of my self for truth, but that is okay, this is an impartial video that looks only for a truth based on a concept few grasp. That Satans deception may not be restricted by the boundaries your goodness can conceive and imagine with. In love all, God is good x"

To elaborate
I think that once upon a time RB was not a good man - bloodline baddie.
I think that RB is done and finished with, exit stage left.
The RB that is on the stage right now, is a construct that is being used for a purpose to teach a lesson to certain demographic, that is represented by people who are interested in him and what he now has to say.
If my thinking is right, it is quite clever on the part of whoever is orchestrating it.

'I support Russell Brand': Andrew Sachs granddaughter Georgina Baillie
So there was some controversy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Russell_Brand_Show_prank_calls) in 2008 regarding some prank calls to actor Andrew Sachs, known for the character of Manuel in Fawlty Towers.
It involved his granddaughter who had a fleeting relationship with Russell Brand. This video is interesting to watch as she has forgiven Brand and she communicates how he has helped her with her struggles with addiction.

Russell Brand WON’T Bow Down To His Attackers!:

Former actor and current online social critic Russell Brand is not turning tail and running from the slings and arrows the media has directed at him over his alleged sexual assaults dating back more than a decade. Instead, he says he’s going to abandon YouTube and other platforms that have sought to demonetize him and instead will air his show exclusively on Rumble, where he plans to continue taking on the establishment, the mainstream media and our corporate overlords.

Dunno if this has been mentioned before on this Thread, but in simple terms, those newspapers are in violation of the 2018 Data Protection Act and Brand could very well be sewing the crap out of all those media outlets, if he has some intelligent lawyer that is.
I highlighted the relative points in red. Obviously I left out Political Opinion etc due to the fact this has not been directly addressed and therefore holds no legal value.
The Data Protection Act 2018 is the UK’s implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Everyone responsible for using personal data has to follow strict rules called ‘data protection principles’. They must make sure the information is:
* used fairly, lawfully and transparently
* used for specified, explicit purposes
* used in a way that is adequate, relevant and limited to only what is necessary
* accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date
* kept for no longer than is necessary
* handled in a way that ensures appropriate security, including protection against unlawful or unauthorised processing, access, loss, destruction or damage
There is stronger legal protection for more sensitive information, such as:
* race
* ethnic background
* political opinions
* religious beliefs
* trade union membership
* genetics
* biometrics (where used for identification)
* health
* sex life or orientation
There are separate safeguards for personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences.

What these fake news outlets should have done is take it to the Police instead of smearing it all over their newspapers (Tabloids). I mean one can't even report on the injury of a Football player anymore due to privacy laws.
Anyone who wants to make a complaint on behalf of Brand can do this here (https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint), it be epic would they get 100's of complaints.
:fingers crossed:

My Truth About Russell Brand and Sachsgate - Georgina Baillie Tells All
John, first of all thank you for posting this video, which was about so much more than Russell Brand. I can't say I enjoyed it, exactly, but it was a fascinating thumbnail of a young person's decline and rise and I'm so pleased that she came through it reasonably (but not totally) unscathed.
But back to topic:
. . .
Secondly, and as Georgina's story relates to Russell Brand, there was an interesting slant which I wondered whether it would - if not exonerate him if found guilty - be difficult to prosecute if he was. And that was: At that time and for many years, Russell Brand was a complete addict and totally "out of it", to the extent that his (addiction) could be seen to be ill and "not in his right mind", and therefore not legally responsible for his actions.
I'm not a lawyer and don't know the ins and outs of mental illness as it relates to the law, but I'm sure a stay in rehab and professional analysis/ counselling would be part of what any judge would recommend if a case was brought to court.
Well, he's already been through that, and the Russell Brand you see today is light years away from the Russell Brand of yesterday. Or perhaps I'm way off the mark. Thoughts anybody?

I think you make a good point about Russell being categorized as 'ill' because of his addictions - and his employers may be considered to have failed in their duty to recognise the 'illness' and consequences of his addictions and behavior on himself and others.... not just that but they (Channel 4 et al) could be accused of exploiting his over~the~top crazy behavior to increase their viewing figures - they didn't rein him in or try to get him treated because he was more useful to them behaving like he did...
Yes his lawyers should definitely press these points strongly in his defence...if it gets to court...
