    Exclamation Re: Russell Brand - Trial By Media?

    • Russell Brand Targeted By UK Parliament:

    In a recent statement, Rumble revealed that they received a letter from the U.K.’s Parliament demanding they demonetize Russell Brand over recent accusations of sexual misconduct — and they had refused to comply. This is completely crazy.
    • Rumble asked to demonetise Russell Brand's content | 'This is something of Stalinism!':

    Broadcaster and Journalist, Michael Crick, and Co-Founder of Together Declaration, Alan Miller, debate calls for the video platform, Rumble, to demonetise Russell Brand's content following allegations of sexual assault.

    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
    WEF buddy "we-just-don't-need-the-vast-majority-of-the-population" Yuri Harari.
    https://youtu.be/C3tgjHtml4M?si=NETaDJqOm-VWt6QH

    A close look at his children's book also tells you who he really is.

    The whole thing is just a show, a major production with thousands of small-time actors weighing in, but still a show. IF there will ever be a trial, he will be acquitted anyway, with more followers than ever before. It's a win-win for the cabal.

    In the current industry I work in, we do not accept digital signatures; as they are so easy to replicate for fraudulent reasons. Personally, I have a neutral opinion of RB and will not make any judgements based on his trial by media. Anyone with half a brain, should be able to perceive the witch-hunt perpetrated on anyone who questions the MSM's.. b.s. narrative.

    A tiny observation, which may or may not mean anything at all. But in every letter apparently scanned and published, Caroline Dinenage's signatures are all perfectly 100% identical. However the letters were created, she did not separately sign each one with a pen.

    It is my current opinion that this is all orchestrated theater to wake up as many normies as possible to the absurdities of what is going on.

    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.

    "“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].”"
    --------------------------------------------

    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

    Source: The GrayZone
    Published: September 21, 2023
    Author: Kit Klarenburg

    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 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, 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 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.

    "The Government takes the issue of disinformation very seriously. The Counter Disinformation Unit is working closely with the new Government Information Cell (GIC) to identify and counter Russian disinformation targeted at UK and international audiences. The GIC brings together expertise from across government including - but not limited to - FCDO, MoD, DCMS and CO experts in assessment and analysis, disinformation, and behaviour and attitudinal change.

    We have been working closely with the major social media platforms to monitor and share information as the situation in Ukraine develops. We have made clear the seriousness of the current situation and the importance of cooperating at speed on countering these threats including swiftly removing disinformation and coordinated inauthentic or manipulated behaviour which is against their terms of service and promoting authoritative content.

    As the Secretary of State set out in her statement to Parliament on 3 March, RT's broadcast news channel has been shut down on Freeview, Freesat and Sky. The Government welcomes the action Youtube has taken to prevent access to RT in the UK and the Secretary of State has written to other major platforms, including Meta and TikTok on this subject asking them to do all they can in preventing access to RT in the UK."

    Interesting and very plausible. If Brand is legit wrongly accused he should be filing a defamation suit.

    I have a similar feeling about Andrew Tate as well i.e. he's also a shill.

    .

    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)




    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 and now this.... I hope pressure is put on the Gosport Conservative Association 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.

    Default Re: Russell Brand - Trial By Media?

    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.

    '

    Russell Brand is a Prodigal Son type figure - surviving wild times of fame and addiction - now living the life of a family man, a husband and father.... promoting peace, spirituality and personal development -

    there's nothing wrong with his eyes... .... and my intuition/instincts tell me he is authentic and honest..

    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.

    Maybe! Of course, it has to be possible.

    But let's put it like this. I wonder how many other YouTube content creators have criminal records of some kind??

    Surely it is about time we all become cognisant of the words of the Magna Carta in Britain.
    These are difficult times and we need to know our rights in this war on our very souls and our connection to the God Source!

    Let he who is without sin cast the first stone...

    I'm sure there are paragraphs in my past I wouldn't like to be revealed on Avalon for instance, but they involved a younger me, an ignorant me; in fact, that person doesn't even exist any more but for memories.

    Forgiveness is no easy task, but an absolutely necessary one imo.

    It is my current opinion that this is all orchestrated theater to wake up as many normies as possible to the absurdities of what is going on.

    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.

    A..

    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.
