The Fall of Russell Brand

In which I explore the world of Russell Brand, asking what is a conspiracy theory? What can history and psychology tell us about them? When are they wrong and when might they be right? Who believes them and why? And what does the MSM, BBC, RFK Jr, Covid, vaccines, Dutch Farmers, the WEF, and the Great Reset have to do with it?

    Yes, but unless you've got *_hard evidence_* to show that there is indeed an _actual_ conspiracy, it _is_ just a conspiracy theory. Conspiracy theorists never have hard evidence (by which I mean actual documentation, communications records, physical objects, and so on), by definition. They just have reaching, innuendo, coincidences, misinformation, (mis)interpretation, rumour, &c. At best they only have second-hand information they claim to get from others - never the original source info. And of course, they ignore all actual hard evidence that speaks against their ideas when it's shown to them.

[10 years ago it was former employees of oil & gas and mining companies - is that progress or progress in hiding the manipulation of an agency that 20 years ago actually tried to protect the environment?]).

In fact the quote comes from a professionally produced WEF promotional video which I and thousands of others have seen. In that Video it also says that visiting the country side will be a treat not a right. FACT The WEF published a promotional video with inspiration from Auken'. The video, depicting an unidentified man smiling with a digital on-screen graphic reading "You'll own nothing. And you'll be happy" was produced by the WEF and therefore endorsed by the WEF. You will have to get up a bit earlier I am afraid. Also I have seen the entire work prior to the WEF doing its best to hide it after the backlash it received.

For example: Putin and Gorden Brown were actually in the same class when being trained by the WEF. Schwab has openly boasted about infiltrating and influencing the changes in various countries using those leaders that were trained by the WEF. Its those people who make laws and they are working to the WEF's agenda.. so how will we get those laws that protect our freedom?. All I can say is by getting people to wake up the the real threat the WEF and those who fund it pose to the World.

There is nothing in that video about how visiting the countryside isnt a right. About the only policies the video endorsed are: carbon tax (already done long before the video and it's useless), refugee (the condition that created those immigration wave have been there long before wef) and democractic check and balance (made at the latest in the 18th century and still, a rigged game at its best) Your paranoia is just making shit up at this point.

    There was a Channel 4 'Dispatches' investigative journalism programme which is produced independently of Channel 4 (though regularly airs on C4), which Channel 4 still decided to air despite it being critical of Channel 4 and then C4 subsequently launched an investigation into it's self and sparked the BBC to do the same. The Times and The Sunday Times were also investigating historical claims against Brand and they are part of the same newspaper group - "The Sunday Times" being the Sunday edition of "The Times". In the UK "the Sunday papers" refers to a special 'Sunday Edition' of daily papers, such as The Daily Mail / Mail on Sunday, The Mirror/ The Sunday Mirror and The Guardian (week days) / The Observer (Sunday paper). The Sunday editions have seperate editorial teams and different and occasionally conflicting journalistic output (The Daily Mail supported Brexit, The Mail on Sunday opposed it!). They are usually much larger and contain far more photography, longer form investigative journalism and go deeper into stories that take longer to write and research and cover things the daily papers don't because daily publications tend to rely on throwaway articles that are sensational for a day and then end up as a nothingburger. The Sunday papers take time to go deeper into issues that, as they say in the business, 'have legs'. All major publications and broadcasters reported the allegations, but it was The Times and Sunday Times who did one investigation and Channel 4 Dispatches that did another which coincided and published together for maximum impact and likely to indemnify themselves against a highly litigious individual who has sued outlets in the past for trying to report on him. By two (*technically three) major insitutions "tag teaming" the allegations, he wouldn't be able to nix the story by threats of defamation, because the allegations will have been so thoroughly vetted and researched by so many different people that'd it'd be hard to get a judge and a legal team on side to take them all on at once. It's also exceedingly rare to see two politically opposed outlets (C4 being mostly left leaning and The Times being deeply Conservative) carrying the same story. It's also quite interesting that The Times Group is a subsidiary of NewsCorp (Murdoch Owned) and were still able to publish the story even as Fox were settling their defamation case brought by Dominion in the US. Their reporting must have been air-tight to get that past the editors.

The medía called the laptop story a Russían hoax, but the laptop story also turned out to be true. The Twítter fíles proved the gøvernment is pulling the strings of the medía and controlling narratíves.

    Honestly what's so good about this video is also what's so frustrating about it - Russell Brand's minimally sourced points of view are something I can see pretty much anyone around me accidentally doing as well. I like to imagine he meant well by starting his channel and really intended to help people, but was just lazy with his research and his planning, and as a result has gone to a bad direction, and I could imagine anyone sitting near me in a restaurant or on a bus just doing that exact same thing by accident. (I can't imagine just anyone on a bus doing some of the things he's accused of, and wrote about in his book, but that's separate from this). I live in an area where I think most of the adults haven't gone to post secondary, and I hear a lot of conspiracies. It's frustrating to me that media figures like Brand and like the talking heads on Fox take advantage of that, and allow people to get more poorly researched info from them, so these people who may not know to keep researching, or who may not be able to do so (because of time constraints), still wind up not knowing the whole story. They make people continue to not be able to make up their own mind with all the info, which is clearly what these people want more than anything. It's a betrayal of the core desire of their audience.

For some reason this has been forgotten but it was this interview that set the stage for the viral 2013 one and convinced Newsnight editors he could do a 'serious' interview.

    *The working class needs its own party.* The USA has never had one in power. We have been stuck with a capitalist duopoly since forever, the only difference being which _capitalist_ sectors & specific _capitalist_ interests & _capitalist_ ideologies are represented by each, and what kind of deal the working class can make with them. We continue to be in need of a brand-new party that can challenge both parties of the existing duopoly and either supplant one of them or force them to consolidate. There's a way to do that, but unfortunately, the only socialist organization involved in electoral politics on the national level with the capacity to do it, continues to bury its electoral activities inside the Democratic Party. There's a socialist party on the ballot in California since 1968 that is _shaped like_ a mass workers' party, but lacks only the mass workers. It has been apparent to me for a long time that the socialist org doing its thing inside the Democratic Party, and our party, are each other's missing piece; if only we could convince the former to move over to the latter, we'd be able to really shake things up. The UK has had one, and at least nominally still does - and around 2015-2017, it looked like it was getting real again. Since Starmer has effectively purged the left and made Labour a neoliberal party perhaps even more so than under Blair, those hopes appear to have been dashed. However, this has also created an opportunity: from what I understand, _all_ of the left MPs that have been stripped of the Labour whip remain immensely popular among their constituents, and could handily win re-election under a new banner and on a platform resembling the Labour manifestoes of 2015 and 2017, the basis on which they were elected in the first place. Likewise with a huge number of local councilors. And Israel's current attempt at a final solution to the Palestinian problem has created a huge rift between mass public opinion both within Labour and the electorate generally against Starmer & co's response, and vindicated the left precisely at the point where they were attacked and smeared in order to unseat them and place Starmer & crew in their place. *The iron is hot - **_strike NOW!_* The UK _cannot_ afford to allow itself to become like the USA - governed by a neoliberal duopoly.

    Great. Very thorough, as usual. One part of Brand's 'agenda' you only touched on gently is Russell's 'financial incentive.' I don't think he started his on-line presence this way but he became a grifter. He started pushing conspiracy videos hard because the views + money went way up. Eventually, he got high on his own supply, started drinking his own snake oil, believing his own propaganda. The more he acted like Alex Jones, the more affirming views & money he received and, conveniently, any criticism simply justified the conspiracy thinking. It became a causal loop.

Humans need to live in harmony with Nature, in order to stay sane and healthy. Our education ought to be mostly homeschooling, with a focus on basic survival skills (in the wild, or as a farmer), and in any case encouraging practical experiments, critical thinking, and trusting one's own heart ethics and gut feelings. Our religion ought to be grounded in gratefulness, kindness and devotion towards Nature, in benevolent and evidently real magical practices, and in connecting with our own inner and higher soul nature (and through it, with the Divine), through knowledge rather than through belief.

    As far as Dutch farmers go, you’ve got on the “reasonable” cover story - and it is plausible and an important problem. However, this just serves as cover for a naked power grab. The farmers have no way of keeping up with the proposed changes. No assistance or suggestions have been offered and it is a zero sum game: get out of farming or comply to standards that simply are IMPOSSIBLE. They are even going after organic and bio intensive farmers. What it looks like from on the ground there is they are instituting a massive land grab and will then either return to more conservative farming methods once they control the land the farmers gave up on or will grow nothing at all, and reveal that their objective is to starve millions of people. Many people in the Netherlands are convinced it is the latter.

    The world is chaotic; so chaotic that our instinct to put an order on it, make sense of it, will ever be present, and it's even necessary for our survival; but simplistic ways of dealing with that chaos are never right, and we should be on guard with all the wisdom of skepticism, science and philosophy. Socrates "I only know that I know nothing" is always resonating.

    @@loganlowe3731 I'd agree that, for example, science is a very good, systematic, way of finding the best patterns that explain our experience of the world. But it seems to me that the true nature of "the world as such", or reality, is still a matter of philosophical rather than a scientific debate, and in any case is not settled anywhere. I tend to think that those "intelligible laws" are a very precise kinds of ordering our experience of "the world", but more a part of human nature than that of "the world". To me science also suggests this when these "laws" also don't make sense at all in extreme scenarios (like black holes or in the quantum world), or for other forms of human experience. So, ultimately, science is just a very precise language for describing the world, but still a human language, and so I we can't know for sure whether in it's fundamental nature the world is chaotic (random) or well ordered by laws (deterministic). Phrased more simply, I tend to think like Schopenhauer, that we cannot really know the "thing-in-itself" so we don't know if that is lawbound; but maybe I'm wrong to asume that therefore the world as "the-thing-in-itself", the Will in Schopenhauer's terms, is chaotic, although I do think it is.

Have you read 'Feuerbach and The End of Classical German Philosophy' by Engels? It's relatively short, and lays out Engels/Marx's dialectical-materialist approach to history, along with competing philosophical viewpoints to it.

    29:57 - The Austro-Hungarians' belief that the Serbian government was responsible for the Archduke's assassination was actually half-correct, though they didn't know that at the time. The assassins were supported by a clandestine faction within the Serbian military, known as "Unification or Death" or "the Black Hand", which sought to destabilise Austria-Hungary in furtherance of their goal of South Slavic unification under Serbia. The Austro-Hungarians, however, wound up pinning the blame on the civilian government of Serbia, rather than the Black Hand specifically. Mostly goes to show that even when conspiracy theories point in the right direction, they can still end up coming to disastrous conclusions.

    Well yes, but the correct analysis of that conspiracy did not itself lead to the war. Ther Serbian government actually accepted the Austrian ultimatum but, emboldened by German assurances, the war party in Austria pressed for war anyway. And even they didn't do so because of some conspiracy theory. but because everyone had was quite fid up with Serbian provocations for 11 years. Your "goes to show" is seriously wrongheaded. Ingoring actual conspiracies or denying them against the facts - as the video is doing - can be just as disastrous. In any case, the whole idea that World War I came about because of the Austrian-Serbian dispute is confusing the occasion for the war with the actual reasons, mostly the conflict between France and Germany.

Keep being led by the nose though, I find it fuckin hilarious how the group who thinks that they "know it all" and call others sheep are the ones who will literally believe straight up lies with zero proof and then when it's outted as a lie they just redirect to the next culture war bullshit.

    It's not enough to 'ask questions' - that's easy, but you have to know how to actually answer them in a way that's useful, and that's hard. Brand, and every other conspiracy theorist, does not know how to to do that. Instead, they go off with the simplest, yet most divorced-from-reality and reptile-brain-pleasing answer that pops into their head, and because of their unwarranted self-assurance, not only can they not be brought back to reason, but they then start denouncing everyone who tells them they might be wrong.

    To be fair I think it is safe to say that Brand and Lewis are coming from different perspectives when critiquing the "establishment". Brand assumes that power corrupts and the powerful should be critiqued vigorously with the assumption that they will abuse their power to manipulate media, science, institutions etc....and as they become more powerful they will tend toward totalitarian tactics to increase and hold on to their power. A very reasonable perspective with historical precedence to support it. Lewis apparently believes that powerful institutions should be mostly trusted and assumed to be uncorrupted agencies acting in good faith unless proven otherwise. The danger is paranoid individuals concocting wild unsubstantiated claims of corruption and conspiracy will lead to a malfunctioning society without well functioning institutions. Is that fair? Sort of a top down vs bottom up decline of civilization debate. Historically thinking, there is probably something to be said for both perspectives, however I don't think that the massive rise in conspiracy theories would be taking place in a civilization unless there was a whole lot of corruption rotting our institutions. In my humble opinion, Brand is absolutely right to point out lies and manipulations by the corporate establishment and connect dots using common sense and evidence even if the exact nature of the corruption is not known the fact that there is massive corruption is obvious. Pretending it does not exist or is not as bad as at looks only promotes more corruption and societal decay. Or maybe a totalitarian one world technocratic slave state is the utopia we are all secretly longing for. As far as I am concerned it looks like the most powerful governments, corporations, and military institutions around the world have been largely taken over by an elite criminal class of ultra wealthy gangsters who indeed want to rule the world with an iron fist. Just saying.... but that is just a theory.....or rather just my working hypothesis for now.

    It warms my heart to see so many waking up to the truth regarding those in positions of power and privilege. As you say the evidence is overwhelming, thanks to those brave whistleblowers, and if the truth be known we can no longer capitulate our collective right to live symbiotically as nature intended. Why we have allowed the powerfully connected to force their will upon the rest of us has always been my personal enquiry. Now that I finally think I understand why, I am eager to find like-minded, rational and intelligent people to discuss it with. In fact I have a viable solution I call the ROC (revolution of conscience) because that’s the catalyst, I believe, for creating a world the majority would like to live in. For me this video has proven to be synchronistic because your collective commits have reinvigorated my belief that the world is saying ‘enough is enough’.

But in the last 50 years, we’ve been introducing new problems to complicate our near and long term future. You could say we’re currently peaking in maximum freedoms, or that we’ve already peaked and are slightly decreasing. 35 trillion in debt, people can invent new genders or change on a whim (even when citing an article where they identified a 550 million year old skeleton as a woman). I was banned from LinkedIn, Facebook, Quora and many others for statements like there’s only two genders (misinformation) or copy/pasting Pfizer’s congressional testimony that the vaccine doesn’t prevent transmission (which remains true still). Government is now trying to regulate the appliances you can buy under the guise of climate change - by the way the same scientists advocate Greenland and Iceland were once ice less continents full of greenery. 20 major cities wish to ban combustion engines by 2030. Farmers are protesting the world over as the WEF says cow farts are destroying the planet and trying to ban meat. Honestly everything from property rights, free speech, gun ownership, education, economy, immigration… it’s all being attacked in some way currently. These are serious and legitimate concerns. If we handle them wrong, 2040-2100 are going to be really rough.

    The way propaganda works is to tell you something obvious with emotional force so that you will trust the person telling it to you... if you are the type of person inclined to strong loyalties, blind or otherwise. The goal of propaganda is to win enough of your loyalty to sway your opinion when the moment is right for whatever agenda is sought by the propagandists. There are many examples of this in recent history and where we should be most concerned where it threatens to destabilize the society as it has been established by rational, peace-seeking people. What if the whole plan wasn't to grab power and wealth away from the working class (given that these elites always had the upper hand) but rather to corrupt the government to such an extent that the population, desperately needing a functional government to protect them from elitist agendas, would just hand the whole thing away to anyone who promised any solution, with propaganda behind them to make it sound like the only rational option? Then reverse your bias as you reread that sentence, to implicate the opposing party's agenda, because the belief that this is about liberals and conservatives is absolute nonsense. This is about the ruling class versus everyone else. In order to have their dream about global genocide come true first they have to divide us into factions so we will do the work for them in playing their war game. That's what I see happening today, and it leads me to trust no one, expert or otherwise, who calls for revolution. The alternative is a lot of hard work bringing our world back to sanity using the existing systems of justice and teaching the basis of philosophy to every generation, since that has never been done during the last century of elitist manipulations of society. We must replace their gaslighting, economic and nationalist deceptions with our own spiritual and intellectual awakening.

    Very good video. Couple of thoughts here. You mention bad things happening to important people of things, tend to create conspiracies more than when bad stuff happening to say a neighbor. That makes sence, people might what to have somthing big to explain somthing big. You lumped in 911 to that. Now I think it's hard to say what the heck happened there. I've yet to see anybody explain how those multiple buildings collapsed on themselves. When controlled demolition has a hard enough time doing that. I don'tkniw who did it. But I don't think the planes brought down those buildings. Unless someone can explain how it's possible. So to bring this back to your video. As you said, there is a lot of evidence 9ut there, and it's not a case of good vrs evil people. But when there is a good question, edjucated people will often dismiss the question, as something where we won't go there. Or to label the question as something which makes people dismiss it. I don't think that is good either.

And I think that difference in perspective might even serve as a litmus test for who would happily grant that control.

I for one, understand that Russel Brand is biased just as is everything in this world as it pertains to individualism; HOWEVER, the quality of information and the correlation of the information touched upon by Russel Brand is the information I’m after. It does help that Russel Brand is a gentle soul with wisdom built from experience and tribulations.

    I read somewhere that it's more likely for septics to fall into conspiracies statistically. One of the proposed reasons is the "missing stopping point". As soon as you find a mystery and are inquisitive, you want to know more. At a certain point, you're falling victim of "there has to be more" instead of stopping and trying to analyse your hypothesis. Edit: From my own experiences, as soon as somebody is "in too deep" in their own beliefs, they're too invested to accept reality and will just float along with the narrative. E.g. ignoring evidence or finding possiblities to discredit counterpoints. Do not ask me for sources, I cannot find that study. Assume "Trust me bro" if in doubt.

You only have to watch a few bits of a few of his nonsensical ranting videos to realise that, it's hard for anyone with reasonable intelligence to actually watch much more than a few minutes at a time anyway. But then if you are an emotionally stunted Brand-cult follower you won't want to see that.

    I've seen loads of his videos. He's a conspiracist that starts with the conclusion then finds the evidence to support it

    If the premise for this video is just that all conspiracies are wrong, then you aren't worth the time of day.

    Edward Snowden's revelations about the US spying on everyone was conspiracy theory stuff, until it wasn't. Epstein island was conspiracy theory until it wasn't. There is a long list, but like you say if he is just going give RB that label without giving any look as to the details, then essentially it's a smear piece.

    It’s so strange seeing the majority of people talk about stuff so openly that they apparently “shouldn’t be talking about cause the government gonna get ya” I get this shit recommended to me nonstop on Instagram and KZread and almost no one is calling bullshit on them

    People are silent because discourse is frowned upon and many people react violently to it because the corporate brainwashing is so bad. People agree that polarization is a huge problem but nobody seems to care the the answer is reasonable discourse to which RB is the perfect example.
