Corporate media fires back at Russell Brand

[onawah]

If that was taken while Russell was traveling around the US, it would probably only mean that he was driving a van that would allow him, as he stated he wanted to do, to see the country he was touring and get to know the people. It might also be more economical to do it that way.

Much as I love Russell, cruising around in a Range Rover Vogue doesn't exactly reinforce his proclaimed abhorrence of "filthy" profit.

You, me, Russell, and close to 7 billion others on the planet are at the bottom of this pyramid structure

No Russel is not at the bottom of this structure. At the bottom of it are people struggling day to day to provide food and pay bills. He does not qualify for the bottom I think.

If Socialism is your bag, Red China and Russia await you

Socialism is not communism, for examples of functioning socialist models the Scandinavian countries are good examples.

but..
I actually think a functioning community is not about the system it is about the people, and this is why a community should be based on spiritual values not political ones. I have intended to write a thread on this for a while.

Bravo, absolutely, it is about people.

And add Canada to the socialist countries, where business is nevertheless flourishing. Why are socialist countries mostly in the North, why do we think differently????

I thought so, you are from Hungary. My first thought when I read your post was "this is written by a European". I was right lol.

In America, every second neighbour cruises in those vehicles, nobody would really see harm in it, they would not even think of it. Was that picture taken in America???? IF it is bad, every second neighbour in America is (which may be the case but not the point here). I just ran in something like that last week in the US, my friend have two of them in their entrance. lol

You have to remain in context.

I'm English and that's a £90 000 vehicle.

Yes, as I said, European. You are European too. American rent these beasts for one, they are cheaper here as well as gaz is cheaper in USA than anywhere in Europe.. A different mentality, a different culture (base on petro).

You have never seen the American roads, this vehicle could not be handle in British roads for one. Second, USA covers certainly over 100 times the British land surface. In British small car, your back would be washed out within 2 weeks of constantly travelling extremely (for Europeans) long distances in USA. Beware if you ever travel in USA past the age of 35 lol. For me, 3 hours is normal, 5 a bit far and 8, I start thinking of not doing it in one stretch. Those are the distances.

For once, believe those living in that continent (America), if you have not seen it, it is very difficult to understand the distance and space differences. My own country covers 6 time zones and going from one end to the other means about 6 hours boeing flight time. This is the same time than crossing the Atlantic and longer than crossing the whole of Europe, to cross only one country, Canada. You see, wide wide spaces to travel, big cars.

it also tells me how misperceiving we may be when judging anybody who has had different experiences.

I love Russel Brand, he is giving all of us a great service and he does not have to speak his truth like that, he does it because he thinks it is right. Period.

[soleil]

i dont think his rental is an issue...honestly. theyll look for anything to say bad about him. i like rb and those who get him get him.

[Snowflower]

In spite of wanting to puke at the vile attack, I'm delighted with the Fox "News" skit, because it almost guarantees that RB's rhetoric will not disappear overnight. By attacking him, they help spread his message further.

I was also delighted to watch because Clif high from half past human called it just this morning in an essay published on his website. One quote from it:

The Powers That Be, and their minion-slave-victims only have one weapon, mental distraction ...with a hope (for them) of being able to use the confusion to their advantage. You will note this is THE approach on all their teevee/media debates. They ONLY rely on distraction as a tactic. They have no other. Their position is inherently weak, they know this, and never try to defend themselves, only to attack you for attacking their position. (re-read and note the subtle distinction). They deliberately try to goad you into adopting their tactics; that is, they want you to attack them personally.

remember the saying " don't throw out the baby with the bathwater" ?


I rekon if there IS a hidden agenda it just may backfire cos things don't seem to work the same

[ghostrider]

We can't have someone speaking in defense of the middle class or the poor now can we ??? must smoosh that down quick or else the viewers might get motivated and start to learn just how corrupt the system really is then they will turn off the telly and maybe read a book or go stand against injustice somewhere ... We need them to consume , obey , sleep , and stay tuned for the next 19.95 gadet they don't need but , first a word from our sponsors ...

[jackovesk]

Educating the public masses, as to how the MSM carefully 'Scripted' 'Hit-Piece' attack (ANYONE) who challenges their beloved (Corporate Control System)..!

Fox News Reporters Quotes - Read the 'Scripted' quotes carefully

• "He used to be so funny, now he just an ass!"
• "Now he doesn't have Katie Perry, now he just a nobody!"
• "How can you take this guy seriously, he's just a comedian!"
• "He hasn't bathed in 10 years Kimberley, his Lice have Scabies!"
• "I think a lot of young people are going to look at this and say, what are you talking about? This makes no sense!"
• "He's so exhausted and frustrated with the system, he can't vote. What is wrong with this guy, I can't take it anymore!?"
• "He wants to influence young people, but he doesn't even want to get up in the morning to go an vote!"
• "If he feels that strongly, he should give all his $money away!"
• "What he's advocating is that all academics e.g. in Mao's or Stalin's regime that caused the deaths of 100s of millions of people, he's advocating that!"

PS - 's Up to (YOU) Russell for (Bringing this out in the open) enough to bring forth the
(Corporate 'Scripted' Rebuttal), tells me just (1) thing...

Keep it up Russell, (YOU) are doing a (FANTASTIC) job bringing these (CORE ISSUES) out into the (FULL VIEW) of the public!
(WELL DONE) mate...

[Sunny-side-up]

Ill I'm hearing from the guy is:
He thinks the world is being killed by the powers as are!
He thinks the current system is Cra#p and want's a change!
He said he hasn't got it all worked out but! he is aware there are many, many people with alternative ways far better qualified to run the planet than those who are running it in to the ground!

Let us see how far this goes, see if anyone else joins in with him.
Yes he is seen driving a big gas guzzler wagon, he's a film star after all! but if this goes the distance we will see if he puts his money where his mouth is!

Love and Hugs all

he already did put his money where his mouth is.

if you see him becoming rather poor, it is because he did.

I do not think he will be Rolling in more gold, precisely because of what he is saying.

Isn't this why most of us joined the Avalon forum, to help bring (Awareness & the TRUTH) to the masses..???

Exactly like Russell is doing, yet on a smaller scale...

Well Fox news fires back at Russel instead of addressing the issues they try and

destroy his character.

Gosh, those clowns and bimbos were straight out of the cast of Hunger Games

Hilarious Jacovesk. I am happy to see your wit here.

It's important to remember that none of these 'systems' have ever appeared on this planet in a way that is not corrupted.

Ie, Democracy, capitalism, socialism, communism, etc..none of them have ever appeared in a functional uncorrupted form.

And this is precisely why we need a complete paradigm shift in how we live with and address one another. Any human political system that has a few controlling and living far above the many is, and will forever be, corrupt. That is unless, of course, there is some spontaneous and miraculous positive spiritual change in human nature. But then if that occurred we would already be living in peace and harmony with each other and nature and all these current governmental systems would just be a dim and unpleasant reminder of our adolescent past.

[00Sheri]

Yep!! I agree

[Crazy Louie]

Akasha - thank you for the great laugh - you are totally right - he is just more of the dog and pony show to keep us floundering around and doing our seal clapping for treats "ark ark ark" imitation. More useless mindless jargon exchange between two imposters pretending to be humans.


"but but Brand is doing something at least." ---------"ya getting paid to make the rounds playing the profound antiestablishment radical." yawn

[panopticon]

Well that piece from Fox has changed my mind.

Brand is obviously a deluded celebrity pseudo intellectual with no idea of how the world really works.

As he said how dare he write all this:

from my velvet chaise longue, in my Hollywood home like Kubla Khan, drag my limbs from my harem to moan about the system? A system that has posited me on a lilo made of thighs in an ocean filled with honey and foie gras’d my Essex arse with undue praise and money.
Source

How dare he indeed!

It certainly explains why he said this in his New Statesman article:

The riot in question came when I was working at MTV and for the first time in my life had money, which to me was little more than regal letters to be delivered to drug dealers.
Source

Obviously he's deluded as are all those Communists who write for the New Statesman!

The Fox bloke was completely right about a bigger pie giving everyone a bit.

The more money that's created the more there is to share! Simple really.

What? Devaluation? Quantitative easing? Hyperinflation?

Not a problem, there's plenty of money to burn...
