    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.


    More HERE: https://www.bbc.co.uk/beyondfakenews...ws-initiative/

    and google appears to want to control what you see hear and watch -

    I guess this gives new depths to the term "dystopian nightmare". Someone is living in a bunch of fear and it is not the ones that have truth on their side.

    Just birds tweeting at the moment but I think this is going to be a Russell Brand livestream. Begins at about 18.30. Really strong from what I have seen. 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 ! -

    oh oh, The attorney General in the UK issues media advisory notice not to publish Russell Brand content or commentary about his pending case.



    Can the govt choose to decide the topics, subjects or people that we (the members of this platform) can and cannot discuss?


    Hmmmmm.

    What pending case?

    If there was a pending case I would understand it, but it is actually worse than that. There are no legal proceedings.

    I still think this is show and tell. It is exposing things that normies need to see about TPTB.

    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. ---

    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 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.

    Piers Morgan Uncensored is joined by TalkTV contributor Esther Krakue, socialist and author Grace Blakeley and associate editor of The Mirror Kevin Maguire to react to Russell Brand's latest response on Rumble to the allegations against him.

    Piers suggests that he feels this is going to a "very dark place" and questions Russell's response in which he focuses on the media for a 'concerted attack' on his character and not clarification on the actual allegations lobbied against him

    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.

    Quote 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.

    Quote Your rights

    Under the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to find out what information the government and other organisations store about you. These include the right to:

    * be informed about how your data is being used
    * access personal data
    * have incorrect data updated
    * have data erased
    * stop or restrict the processing of your data
    * data portability (allowing you to get and reuse your data for different services)
    * object to how your data is processed in certain circumstances

    Source
    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, it be epic would they get 100's of complaints.

    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...
