He’s got a long way to go. But he’s slowly getting there, and he’s bringing his audience with him. Russell Brand discovers “Russia-Gate“:
The Trump-Russia investigation was based on a fraudulent premise, purposed for use by a weaponized and politicized intelligence apparatus including the CIA, DoS, DOJ and FBI. It is also the origin of the feces that holds the greatest risk to those who constructed the surveillance operation.
Some of the intentional misinformation stems from intelligence officials telling direct lies (ex. telling President-elect, and President Trump he was not under investigation). Other aspects were lies of omission surrounding the Steele Dossier during the January 6th, 2017, intelligence briefing session with the President-elect in Trump Tower.
There were many misleading and false statements, with varying scales of severity, during the period from November 9th, 2016, through 2017. The FBI, DOJ, ODNI, CIA and intelligence officials were intentionally not being direct and honest with President Trump and key members of his new administration. Obviously their lack of honesty was a serious issue, and in some cases had serious ramifications.
The expressed finding by Robert Mueller’s two-year probe of ‘no Trump-Russia collusion, no Trump-Russia conspiracy, and no Trump-Russia obstruction’, led to some hindsight reviews by media voices where they attempted to pretend they did not know the real origination of the narrative.
However, there was also a trap laid here. At 12:15pm, on January 20th, 2017, Obama’s outgoing National Security Advisor Susan Rice wrote a memo-to-self. Many people have called this her “CYA” (cover your ass) memo, from the position that Susan Rice was protecting herself from consequences if the scheme against President Trump was discovered. Here’s the email:
“On January 5, following a briefing by IC leadership on Russian hacking during the 2016 Presidential election, President Obama had a brief follow-on conversation with FBI Director Jim Corney and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates in the Oval Office. Vice President Biden and I were also present.
President Obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the Intelligence and law enforcement communities “by the book“.The President stressed that he is not asking about, initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. He reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book.
From a national security perspective, however, President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia.
[Redacted Classified Section in original release: “Director Comey affirmed that he is proceeding “by the book” as it relates to law enforcement.” … “Comey said he does have some concerns that incoming NSA Flynn is speaking frequently with Russian Ambassador Kislyak.” “Comey said that could be an issue as it relates to sharing senssitive information.” “President Obama asked if Comey was saying that the NSC should not pass sensitive information related to Russia to Flynn.” “Comey replied “potentially.”” “He added that he has no indication thus far that Flynn has passed classified information to Kislyak, but he noted that “the level of communication is unusual.”]
The President asked Corney to inform him if anything changes in the next few weeks that should affect how we share classified information with the incoming team. Corney said he would.”
Susan Rice ~ (pdf link)
As stated, many have looked at this as a “CYA” memo, but that’s not what this is.
This is a justification memo, written by an outgoing National Security Advisor Susan Rice, to document why there have been multiple false and misleading statements given to the incoming President Trump and all of his officials.
This is not a “CYA” memo, this is a justification memo for use AFTER the Trump-Russia collusion/conspiracy narrative collapsed; if the impeachment effort failed.
The “By The Book” aspect refers to President Obama and Susan Rice being told by CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, that President Trump was the subject of an active counterintelligence investigation to determine if he was under the influence of the Russian government.
Even the timing of the memo, written 15 minutes prior to the end of the Obama administration, is ex-post-facto useful as evidence of the author’s intent.
Put aside the nonsense aspect to the origination of the investigation for a moment; that part doesn’t apply here. Accept their position ‘as if’ it is substantive.
We are talking about Brennan, Comey, Clapper and Yates telling President Obama and NSA Susan Rice that President-elect Trump is under a counterintelligence investigation where the suspicion is that Donald J Trump is an agent of a foreign power.
Under the auspices (fraudulent though it may be), the incoming President is a counterintelligence investigation target. A potentially compromised Russian asset. Under this auspices all of the officials would be permitted to lie and mislead their target, so long as they did so “By The Book.”
That’s their justification for a lengthy series of lies and false statements.
That’s why FBI Director James Comey can lie to the President and tell him he’s not the target of the ongoing Russia investigation. That’s the justification for keeping the accusations inside the Steele Dossier (remember, the Dossier is evidence) from the President-elect. That’s the justification for all of the officials to lie to President Trump, and even mislead the media if needed.
The Susan Rice email is one big Justification Letter; setting the stage for all of the participants to have a plausible reason for lies to anyone and everyone.
Call out John Brennan for telling Harry Reid about the Steele Dossier during his gang-of-eight briefing, but not telling Go8 member Devin Nunes about it. Brennan escapes by saying Nunes was on the Trump transition team; and briefing a conflicted politician on the dossier would have compromised the FBI investigation. See how that works?
Call out James Comey for lying to President-elect Trump during the January 6th Trump Tower meeting…. Comey escapes by saying Trump was a target of the FBI investigation for potential compromise as a Russian asset; informing the target of the evidence against him would have compromised the investigation. See how that works?
Every lie, every omission, every false and/or misleading statement, must first be filtered through the “By The Book” prism of Trump being considered a Russian asset. This is the justification trap democrats are waiting to exploit for maximum damage and diminishment of counter attack.
The “By the Book” justification, where every action could have been taken because Trump might have been an actual Russian operative, is the weapon under the camouflage tarp as the radical left lures in their political opposition. They shrug their shoulders and say in condescending voices: ‘Well, we didn’t know; we had to be prudent‘, etc.
Getting outraged about the Obama administration’s lies, misstatements and fabrications can backfire if you don’t first think about it from their constructed frame-of-reference.
The “By the Book” framework is based on a false premise; but the action, just about any action, taken to mislead (even undermine) the incoming administration is excusable under this carefully crafted justification memo. That’s exactly why Susan Rice wrote it; and each of the participating members knows they can use it, when needed.
However, during an interview on April 26, 2019, former Deputy National Security Advisor to President Obama, Ben Rhodes, told a journalist the Obama White House didn’t even know there was an FBI investigation into President-elect Trump or Michael Flynn. WATCH:
If the White House didn’t know about an FBI investigation into Michael Flynn (per Ben Rhodes), then how does President Obama tell the FBI to conduct their investigation “by the book” according to Ben Rhodes’ boss, National Security Advisor Susan Rice? See the basic problem that remains?
We need about a hundred more famous liberals to be red pilled and come out about it publicly to turn the tide. For now, I’ll take the small wins as they come though.
Listening to that a-hole, I am reminded why it is that people in the world of entertainment think the word “liberal” is akin to “righteous and wonderful and hip” and “conservative” is akin to “selfish, bad, and passe.” They are simpletons.
After this, he will probably never work in Hollywood again.
If you call acting work.
You talking about Ben Rhoades, I hope. Russel Brand is figuring it out, and isn’t generally a far-left simpleton.
That’s whats been shoved down their throats. The red pill starts a cascade reaction that upends everything eventually. This is not the first liberal to realize he’s been lied to. He and Nicki Minaj just happen to be more famous.
The right has been taught to think all liberals are stupid
Most libs are off one one woke crusade or another and aren’t paying attention.
They have infiltrated every facet of society including Madison Avenue.
Kellogg is willing to indoctrinate your children using Tony Tiger..umm or is it Tania Tiger ? they/them will be angry if they/them don’t get it straight..umm get it right..umm get it correct.
A think a lot of gay men go into advertising.
K-Pride?! FFS, all I wanted was a bowl of cereal.
spot on
Nikki Minaj fans (she has 130 million of them on instagram) are asking Trump supporters to join them in protesting CDC, the left has lost control!!!
https://www.bitchute.com/video/VQhusDibD56b/?list=notifications&randomize=false
Russell Brand, Nicki Minaj, two surprises there. Hopefully those with voices and a large following begin to realize the slippery slope and share their observations. I prayed when Nicki Minaj said they can’t cancel us all, others would speak. Crickets
Brand has other videos on Youtube, another about Afghanistan, and he’s on the right track.
I saw an interview he did with Candace Owens a while back and I thought that there might be a chance he’d be red-pilled after watching it.
and those with Jordan Petersen …. quite a discussion.
Just that he’s willing to go on with them and engage is very encouraging.
I suspect Youtube will ban him once it’s on to him and the views he’s expressing, but he’s on the money so far, a pleasant surprise.
besides leaking – what was the reason Senator Warner requested the Cater Page FISA?
If Brand truly wishes to be well-informed, he’s going to have to understand that the New York Times and the Wa PO and the alphabet networks are not only NOT reliable sources, they are carefully programmed tools of propaganda. He also has to recognize which nations are the programmers.
I think he’s aware.
He knows. He quotes them because then he won’t be demonitized. Oftentimes he finds these small OpEd pieces that are perfect to wield like a knife against the elite. He also loves to follow the money- it leads to the same enemy.
I can’t help but remember how private citizen Donald Trump was beloved amongst those that eventually betrayed him. Idiots such as Brand were willing to attack a man because of their own bigotry and ideology. They have done serious damage to our country, and I am not feeling particularly forgiving. President Trump did not deserve what happened to him for standing up for all of us. When Brand publicly apologizes to President Trump, I will listen to whatever else he has to say.
Enough is Enough~~
I understand your anger but we’re at war. It’s 5th generation warfare. Information.
We’d all be better served if you channeled that anger and shared this article and this video in particular with any liberal friends you have.
That’s how we win this war. Get in the fight.
I share every single worthwhile article I come across. I have lost friends and family members over this, yet I push on. Yes, I am angry, as you point out, but am ” in the fight”.
Brand is not big any place except maybe NYC. Most Americans don’t know him.
Are you sure? He’s British and lives there.
Untrue. I’m a “boomer,” as my kids say, and I’m a big fan.
He’s got over 3.5 million followers on YouTube.
Go read some of the thousands of comments under that video. Lots of liberals know the truth.
The media is still hanging onto the narrative but the numbers are hugely on our side.
That’s exactly right. A liberal might actually listen to what Brand has to say because he’s left of center. Sending a lib a video from a right of center person won’t persuade them.
“Idiots such as Brand were willing to attack a man because of their own bigotry and ideology.”
More so than bigotry and ideology, ignorance plays a major roll here. Idiots such as Brand lash out not so much out of their own ideology but because they have been told to behave that way. Actors that they are, they read their lines with conviction as they proudly proclaim to the world thoughts that are not their own.
It’s great that he’s starting to understand the truth and is willing to speak up. Remember that these “actors” have an audience that listens to them, and will mimic them. I doubt Brand would ever appologise to Trump, but where ignorance can be educated, bringing some truth to that audience is a win for us all.
Was Brand anti Trump? I watched him with Candace Owen. I absolutely boycott anti Trump immediately. I keep remembering Clintons attending Trump wedding.
No. Nobody has provided one example of Brand being “anti-Trump.” Seems some are guilty of prejudging.
If a mentally challenged Nicki Minaj, Bill Maher and this doofus are finally paying attention & figuring it out, can the rest of (or at least a significant percentage) the low info Leftisphere be far behind?
Personal acquaintance worked alongside Nicki Minaj many years ago (2010?) and remarked that Ms. Minaj had uncommon common sense and was very down to earth — a surprise given her entertainment role.
Donald Trump is not just a “reality show host” and Ms Minaj is not just a twerking entertainer.
Recognize how treacherous and powerful the industry is, where these people tried and succeeded, and give them credit for surviving with integrity intact
See, she loses me at twerking….
IMO most liberals don’t care enough to pay attention to what is going on. If they cared about facts and how facts are affecting our country they would already be speaking out.
Oh my my my, you are optimistic.
Trust me, I live in So CA and the leftists there would never admit that President Trump right and that he was hamstrung by a bunch of unelected corrupt employees of the Federal Government. They would rather eat their own you-know-what than admit it was all a bunch of lies. Because Orange Man bad. They didn’t like his tweets. #Can’tFixStupid.
I’m happy to see that folks like Nikki Minaj, Bill Maher, and Russell Brand are getting it. I wish more would and have the courage to publicly question it. Maybe, just maybe more people will do their own freaking research and realize what is happening in this country.
Pretty soon as we see more outliers who have lambasted Mr Trump start to drift away from their hardened positions, more will want to join them in an attempt to be relevant. You cannot be that if you are just one of a herd, and there are massive egos we are talking about here. They all want to be “influencers”. Maher has tip toed across the line a little. Now here is Brand and Minaj. Who else is next? All 3 have been surprises, shocks really. You just never know. My hope anyway. Miracles do happen.
but unfortunately, facts don’t matter
It’s always fascinating to witness the slow but steady awakening of leftists. Anyone who’s been on this journey or witnessed it in someone else knows it often begins with a single salient event or idea that resonates, like a perfect mini-storm set off in the mind. And once there’s a small crack and the door opens ever so slightly, there’s usually no closing it again. The ball just keeps rolling and eventually everything the person once thought to be true is called into question.
It’s not uncommon to read snarky comments about these folks on conservative blogs and I get it because we’re all very pissed off. But the bottom line is, we need to grow our team and I have nothing but encouragement for anyone who’s starting to wake up. And if some of those who are starting to (re) connect the dots have large platforms and can influence others, so much the better. Keep going Russell!
“[E]verything the person once thought to be true is called into question.”
This is an exact description of my transition from Radical-socialist to Free Market libertarian.
Well said, everyone’s righteousness were as filthy rags before the Lord opened our eyes to the truth. Why should anyone be treated any different?
I absolutely loathe that accent. Somehow the elite snobs think it elevates their nostrils just a bit higher. High makamaka as we say in Hawaii.
He’s British.
I know.
I told my British husband when we moved from there to here, do not make the mistake your brother made when he moved to Florida and Americanize that gorgeous accent, which his brother did. It’s a hybrid sound and not attractive. My terribly British hubby has kept his, thank goodness.
Lol. Glad you enjoy it. So is it southern drawl with Brittish thrown in with your brother in law? I’d cringe haha. I was stationed in GA and that’s right up there with English accent.
Well, we can’t all be as enlightened as those in Hawaii. The rest of us have to live somewhere.
Hah! I actually jumped ship to AZ, so I’m living somewhere now too. ?
No Southern drawl at all sadly. I’m a Southern gal and my accent was enjoyed by all my Welsh friends and family when I lived there.
Oh and by the way. All Brits do not sound the same. There are regional differences, the same as here.
Same with southern accents.
Oh my ADMIN!!!!! I LOVE you for that!! That was wonderful. Thank you so very much. Absolutely spot on?
Apologies Ad rem for misaddressing you. Posting at midnight affected my brain cells. Thank you again. I appreciate that bit of home.
My apologies for being so late in my reply. (Oh, I sure miss that old notifications bell!)
Once I met a man from a certain part of Britain and a man from a rural part of Georgia, USA at the same time. They understood each other perfectly. I needed a translator.
Hahaha!! I completely get that! The two I had a hard time with were the Geordie accent and the Glaswegian one. Now my husband can affect any of them with ease. He’s an especially good joke teller, and there are some smashing jokes there that work so much better if they are told with the appropriate accent. We’ve had some laughs.
Hilarious
Geez, can’t we just look past the dialect and listen to him?
Geez who said I didn’t?
After reading this, I don’t think eternity in hell is long enough for these diseased people.
Power corrupts and you know the rest.
We are at an interesting juncture in US political history when the soft Left rejects HRC and the hard Right distances themselves from DJT.
Trump is too conservative to the Alt-right and Clinton is too venal to represent the aspirations of the squishy Left.
Clearly, we are on the threshold of a great upheaval in the political realm.
Can you be more specific as to who is distancing themselves from PDJT?
If you’re talking about all of the neocons that want forever wars, they were always never-Trumpers.
Not sure who you could be referring to.
The hard right in my opinion are on the left. My dad called them cold war democrats.
Trump WAS the upheaval! Look what they had to do to cheat him out of his second term! He won the middle and many traditionally Dem voters. Even more so today. Trump owns the middle.
In 2014, I was enrolled in a senior Poli Sci class and Russel Brand was a common reference point for some of my more mainstream liberal class mates.
I listened. Was respectful.
Didnt scoff at them.
This was before PDJT even announced he was a candidate.
Times were different pre-Trump.
But I recognized some righteousness in the arguments Brand presented, via student proxy.
The corrupt mechanics of corporate/govt cooperation, what we call fascism here, were always the crux of the opinions.
I had to agree with many of his/proxies positions, because many were righteous.
Point being, we(the right) are not so far apart from the left.
Give us a unifying principle, like opposing corrupt and treacherous behavior, and we can find common ground.
“Point being, we(the right) are not so far apart from the left. Give us a unifying principle, like opposing corrupt and treacherous behavior, and we can find common ground.”
Not so far from the traditional US Left. Agreed.
(did I just say that? lol)
My realization was that reality was very different from the narrative. This was 2015-16 I’ve been conservative all my life and considered myself independent tho never voting for a single Democrat. Thats when i turned off the MSM.
My own life’s experience tells me to remain a permanent revolutionary of sorts. ( Not the kind Fidel used to bray on about–hell you probably couldn’t find a true leftist left alive in Cuba.) That is, always keep at least one foot out of the Establishment camp. Sooner or later, no matter who runs the Establishment, they turn it into a private club and punish non-conformers–or worse, as we’re seeing now.
Anti-establishment siempre!
The departure point is methods. The concept that doing evil things/acts to achieve good results is not acceptable. That’s the point where the union for a common goal is impossible. There are millions of people who have veered over to the evil side, believing that cancel culture, book burning, censorship, lies, forced medical experimentation, control, mostly peaceful looting and arson, and a host of other acts are all acceptable because the stated goal is some “good” or “if only one life” or “reparations” or “because Science” or “climate something something”.
Good point.
The excesses of the ideological left lead to disaster.
Its like they are on meth, where everything is a great idea. “Let’s do it!”
LMAO! The “Just Want What’s Best For Mankind” liberals ALWAYS show up after the fact, once the damage is done and they can safely play the “reasonable “ one.
Worth the watch
Russell Brand on Instagram: “CNN’s Don Lemon has told his viewers that it’s time to shun and leave behind those who refuse to get vaccinated. #DonLemon #vaccine…”
can’t seem to link it
I would think people would LOVE not to have to have any contact with Don Lemon. There is nothing to like.
I had an impression of Russell Brand as a leftist clown.
I have to say, now I’m a fan.
He’s smart and pretty funny.
And he’s red-pilled.
We need much more of this!
I think he got red pilled after he got rid of his whore ex-wife singer.
He was….once.
Better late than never.. I guess
So basically DEM/LIbs walk from this type of behavior when 45 is under suspicion, but not if one of their own or the Xiden regime.
Got it. Thanks,
Actually, I thought this question had been answered already. Rice was and is in control.
Notice also how FBI Director Comey shares his perspective that informing the National Security Council (NSC) is the equivalent of notifying the White House. The FBI leadership expressly believe they bear no responsibility to brief the chief executive. As long as they tell some unknown, unelected, bureaucratic entity inside the NSC, their unwritten responsibility to inform the top of their institutional silo is complete. If the IC wants to carve out the Oval Office, they simply plant information inside the NSC and, from their perspective, their civic responsibility to follow checks-and-balances is complete. This is an intentional construct.
Keep in mind, Comey did not say the White House was unaware; in fact he said exactly the opposite, he said “the White House was informed through the National Security Council,” (the NSC). The implication, the very direct and specific implication; the unavoidable implication and James Comey admission that everyone just brushed aside; was that President Obama’s National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, was totally informed of the intelligence operation(s) against Donald Trump. After all, the NSC reports to the National Security Advisor.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/08/29/preview-to-answering-the-big-question-how-do-we-fix-this-mess/
Susan Rice’s deputies when she was Obama’s National Security Advisor were the same as Anthony Blinken and Avril Haines are now.
By now it should be very apparent to every Patriot that Obama used any means possible and continues today, to tie up 45 in order to pursue his Global-Marxist agenda. Patriots, of all colors and cultures, need to take a page out of the BLM/Antifa/Maxine Waters playbook; “get up in their face” confrontation. This is America’s last stand. Period. The possibility of losing this country increases every single day.
Jimmy Dore and Aaron Mate do a better job of defending Trump than many of the worthless stiffs on Fox. 100k views, I assume the majority of which are on the left. Moreover, 10k likes, and I’d bet dollars to donuts that youtube even capped those likes.
Jimmy Dore, and Aaron and Glenn G do a thousand percent better job than almost anybody on Fox, Yes.
and that’s because, I think, they are independent, they don’t have a boss, and they are HONEST(mostly).
Huge fan I am, andI can’t get enough of watching them.
I learned about Jimmy D. from right here at conservative Treehouse more than a year ago and I’m most grateful for that.
I’ve found myself increasingly appreciating Mate and Dore, the past 4 years.
They are in danger of being cast out of the media-driven leftist mob.
Like Greeny has.
There are supportable arguments that they share with us: anti-globalism, anti-.gov, anti-coercion
and dare I say it…. Anti fascism; in the sense of what we view fascism as, of course. Not that retarded bloc stuff.
The spectrum of corruption and lies is very broad.
The fascism is spreading and global.
Russell Brand has the potential to change minds because many, many people actually like the guy and are willing to listen to him. He’s changed his views considerably to the point that he is now 80% in our camp. There isn’t one of us who can say “I’ve held the same political views throughout my life” – and he is no different in that respect. Perhaps we ought to give him safe passage and a seat by the fire. This guy could be important.
It was a conspiracy. They were all in on it. And they got away with it. The globalists own and control all facets of our government. The republic is officially dead.
Brand is a man who knows how to say “I was wrong. Not just wrong, stupidly wrong.”. There are no dumb questions except those left unspoken. It is never too late to say “Wrong way, this.”. Empty your cup, first step to wisdom. Russell’s cup is pretty nigh empty these days. May he be refilled.
I agree. And my impression, based on a few videos of his that I’ve watched, is that he seems to genuinely like to think about things, and think hard about them. I don’t agree with a lot of where he’s coming from, but it’s intriguing to see his mind turning over ideas and information that clearly challenges his prior narratives. And he appears to have that apparently rare ability to actually let new information in and not always reject it out of hand, but instead, to look at it and potentially shift his prior views.
He has been to the vaccine. I’ll try to dig up the video I saw recently.
I just watched it. Pretty good.
Brand’s intro is extremely wise. Information outlets are purposefully or inadvertently driving a wedge in the fabric of our society by hardening people in alternate versions of reality. I used to wonder how there could ever possibly be a civil war. Now I understand that your countrymen are determined by your worldview, not your location. The external trappings of a culture are byproducts of this common worldview, or what we can positively affirm about the world: our metaphysical dream. See Richard Weaver’s “Ideas Have Consequences.” Brand hits the nail on the head when he says we need to resolve the differences in our worldview, or split into different nations. This truth is incredibly important to save our country!
I give Brand credit for not immediately dismissing Durham as yet another political operative, but this time working for the republicans to smear the democrats.
Putting trust in Glen Greenwald to be objective would help a lot of liberals get closer to understanding how they’ve been manipulated and abused by the elites.
“These agencies being FUNDED by the corporations that they’re meant to be assessing and regulating is a FARCE! If you want a better world DEMAND that that stops! Demand that lobbying stops! It’s NOT impossible to change the world. It’s just that the people that benefit from it staying the same TELL you that change is impossible.” – Russell Brand
These types of videos can be very persuasive with your lefty friends. I’m still out there trying to change minds!
I’ve enjoyed Brand for a few years. Don’t always agree with him but I don’t hate him and often find him both interesting and with common sense. He’s a recovering addict of several things and a follower of AA, etc. which, if followed as it should be, requires personal honesty and pursuit of deeper truth. Seeking core truth helps one understand why they turn to addictions and disarms cravings.
I don’t think he appeals to younger adults that much.
I wonder if politics is why he & Katie Perry went their separate ways…
I think she is quite satanic…
Correct
Don’t let those gorgeous satanic, commie boobies sway you.
She is bad JuJu.
Boobies and all.
Wow, Russell Brand discovers that the moon isn’t made of green cheese after all. Give him a medal.
I sometimes watch Theo Von, a comedian with struggles against demons in “black arts.” He’s not political or as intelligent as Russell Brand and often makes me cringe bc I’m an old woman, not a young man. However, if you skip over his vulgarity, which is something he’s figuring out, with humble honesty, how to conquer, his unique use of words and phrases are often worth the time. If you check him out, listen to the shorts. I particularly enjoy opening music. Oops!! This really belongs in Open Threads but makes sense here.
I have been watching closely the evolution of Russell Brand during this pandemic. It has been an interesting journey. He’s a renown hippie type who believes in some basic spirituality- so there’s a basis for basic right and wrong. But his libertarian streak is also quite wide- which has really helped to open his eyes. He has been well aware for a while now that the media lies. But he is clever- he knows to avoid certain key phrases and he oftentimes uses OpEd’s in the NYT and WaPo to quote because then he can’t be banned from YouTube. He’s not as open about his feelings as JP Seers has been recently, BUT, he has used some pretty remarkable strategies to “follow the money” and has openly discussed all of the links to big corporate- and this includes incredible discussion of Banks, Defense contractors,Silicon Valley and Big AG to follow all the way back to Soros type figures, Rothschild, the Bilderberg group, Gates, etc. His hippie streak has helped a lot with the awareness of the Monsanto types trying to mess with food shortages and likewise the invasive nature of Silicon Valley on our privacy rights. In the same vein, he is very aware that forced vaccination is never an answer.
So here we are, conservative Trump supporters joining up with hippies, libertarians and even Nikki Minaj. Who would have thought that possible. But one thing is in common with all of these groups- they all sense the “Big Con”. And we detest being lied to. One of my favorite videos is still the one where the young man is offered a new experimental oil for his brand new car, even though it was 99.9% likely he wouldn’t need it- he should use it anyway 🙂
My 18 year old daughter said , “It’s like we’re all living in a dystopian novel.” She’s bought the feminist lie a nd much more, but she’s smart and will figure it out
All credit to Glenn Greenwald, that was the red pill. Brand quoted from his essay extensively.
When you weaponise the judicial, police and intelligence communities against a sitting President, and get away with it, the country is doomed. Thank you Obama!
This sort of issue arising from CDC controlled monopolies on products lead to – is what Russell discusses very intelligently. This particular dilemma that we are living through right now is a perfect example. How NO ONE will admit to the harms the vaccines are cuasing…
Who is Russell Brand and why should I care what he says?
Interesting he has a shirt on with a bird on it.
Could it be a Crow?
About 5 years late in actually beginning to get a clue—–
There is still hope……
About five years late… as are many MSM watchers but with the left trying to deflect f from the present by admitting to the past they are quickly starting something they will quickly lose control of.
i wonder when people like him will realize that they are the ones that created the mess we currently live in? they have a revelation and believe someone else caused it. it is his support of the people that did this that allows them to do the horrible things they do.
Russell hits all around the target it can’t connect the dots that Trump was the honest politician and the entirety of the UniParty is corrupt. Like Joe Rogan he can’t bring himself to admit that he is wrong in his entire worldview.
He’s still a work in progress…
Question: who is Russel Brand?
Former so-called comedian, now huge social media influencer. Brit who ran in big Hollywood circles, now lives a simple life. Wore outrageous clothing, slept with myriad known women, lived a life of debauchery, did drugs, etc.
He’s grown up. And he’s pretty cool now.
Ah, thank you. I don’t follow either Hollywood or social media influencers, so I didn’t know.
The vax mandate goal was to further divide of course, but it has backfired BIGLY!!! Even my SIL who is brain dead when it comes to things like ‘climate change’, she totally bought into that BS. Just last month she just confirmed her belief in climate change again based on the flimsy logic that in the 2 years she’s lived in NH, it hasn’t snowed as much. LOL!!
BUT, she has NOT bought into the covid BS. She is quite overweight, and did get sick w covid, but recovered w/o any meds. She doesn’t want the vax, and even her illogical brain can see the scam, the 9 new billionaires created while millions suffered, and she was pissed her church was shut down while select globalist businesses stayed open.
Alliances are FORMING, not continuing to divide.
A NY judge just announced schools CAN NOT enforce vax mandates on teachers:

The new NY Gov is said to be walking back vax mandate on hospital workers due to large # of walkouts leaving them short staffed.
And Nikki Minaj fans (she has 130 million of them on instagram) are asking Trump supporters to join them in protest of CDC :

So glad to see this acknowledgment, SD. 🙂 Russell Brand is someone I’ve been watching.
He’s interesting, compelling, and a case study in the meaning of “woke.”
The transformation is not only amusing, but also quite educational. His verbosity is not for everyone, but I think he reaches a lot of folks who need to hear his message.
“He’s got a long way to go. But he’s slowly getting there…”
It’s going to be a much longer journey for him until he accepts truth is simple. It’s the lies that are complex, adding many shades of cloudy grey reasoning trying to obscure the truth, or rationalizing why my “truth” is different from your “truth”.
Yes! I posted similar before I saw your comment.
Sorry Russell, truth is not complex; it’s when you have to use it to unpack the lies that makes things complicated. But good for you anyway!
Amy, Russell seems to be going there. I’ve followed his transformation.
Let’s help him along the way, if we can. He can reach a lot of people.
Finding the truth is complex at times because there are so many very loud voices working to suppress it. Brand stated that the lie is obvious. So maybe he will reevaluate what he.previously thought was truth or things he doubted previously will come into better focus. Just because a person figures things out after me doesnt make him less of a person than me. There have always been trail blazers, pioneers and homesteaders. We need all kinds to win.
Who would have ever thought that Russel Brand would end up seeing the truth and on his way to being red pilled.
Am I correct in believing all leftist people are missing a link in their dna? This guy is saying Trump lies all day. In the meantime this big guy simply opens his mouth, raps his fist on the table repeatedly and lies.
Mr. Brand is a masterful performing artist. It all begins with his fake accent.
Russell Brandt has been going through a spiritual growth of sorts for over a year.
He has been influencing his fans (many young people) in a positive way in areas even beyond politics…..

RUSSELL BRAND: FROM SEX ADDICT TO ANTI-PORN ACTIVIST
Excerpt:
Russell was a sex addict, porn addict, drug addict, and self-described narcissist. Several years ago, he began his journey to get clean and actually live life. He’s been through all sorts of rehabs, programs, accountability structures. In almost every way conceivable, Russell Brand completely reordered his life.
On his podcast and YouTube channel, he has dialogued with people such as Joe Rogan on culture, Jordan Peterson on the meaning of life, and Ricky Gervais on atheism and God.

I’m on board with any anti-porn activist. That crap is as harmful as drugs and far more widespread and accepted.
It is fascinating to see Russell Brand unpack the premises of the “intellectual” environment in which was raised. He is realizing he is not a sheep but a man with a mind that can and should question the inconsistencies of that environment. May he live long enough to know the true that will set him free.
Isn’t there like some rules about evidence as the fruit of a rotted tree? How can you justify an investigation with fraudulent information? (Evidence) We will never survive this without severe accountability.
