First they came for Alex Jones, but I don't listen to him so I did nothing.

Then they came for Russell Brand, but he's British and I'm an American so I did nothing...

...

How does the quote go? Something like all it takes is for good men to do nothing...

His current podcasts were quite interesting and informative. He definitely went against the government’s narrative (built in lies) so he must be silenced in their way of thinking. The accusations are over ten years old when he was quite open about his vices. Now it’s just political witch hunt. They sure didn’t go after him during MeToo movement.

CLUELESS. The West; especially Americans are clueless.

'The Committee of 300 led by the Rothschilds centered out of 'The City of London' for centuries and now through The Bank of International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland IS THE SHADOW GOVERNMENT OF THE WHOLE WORLD. This is the top of 'Hierarchy of Evil' perpetrating this current evil onto the world.

Their agents have infiltrated and hallowed-out U.S. Govt. until it's virtually saturated at this time with Techno-Feudal Fascists far more threatening, diabolical and evil than Hitler, Stalin, Mao combined as they have the technology to literally empty the Earth of all organic life forms through mutilation of DNA.

AT THIS TIME...ALL IN OPPOSITION TO THE CITY OF LONDON'S DEATH CULT WILL BE ATTACKED...

UNTIL THE PEOPLE DETERMINE TO RISE-UP ONE LAST TIME.

First they came for the Communists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me

And there was no one left

To speak out for me

The media has no right to condemn a person without a fair trial. A verdict of public opinion without a thoughtful decision from an unbiased court is nothing more than a witch hunt. The media is not progressive, it is oppressive.

I knew the fascists would come for Brand at some point in time. I'm actually surprised it took them this long to do so. He had a large following worldwide and they hate his message because he's over the target. I do not know if he's guilty or not of the proposed allegations, but why would these allegations pop up over a decade after the fact? Why is the UK government pressuring social media companies to demonetize Brand? Why are governments so rabid toward this guy? Why are governments interfering with free speech. And why in the world have they already determined Brand is guilty merely as a result of decades old allegations? It most certainly doesn't pass the smell test and has much larger ramifications for freedom of speech worldwide. I'm amazed that more people just don't get it. I'm amazed that many are sheep and don't see the wolves in sheep's clothing. It truly blows mind.

Look at the timing of this latest fiasco ... it's not a coincidence. Excellent opportunity to compare YouTube to Rumble; one allows Free Speech, the other condemns it.

But did you see this? Can you look at Brand afterwords?

He thinks Yuval Harari is a beautiful person.

The #1 reason they are going after Russell in FULL FORCE I’d because he is a leftist/ A leftist going against the current regime is the Most threatening thing to the narrative.... But one thing is for sure whether left / right / middle the truth is the truth ... Anyone who had the guts to go after Big Pharma/Big Ag/The Military and the deep state is ok in my book.... BTW the only piece of evidence they have brought forward so far is a text between Russell and one of the women... She admits in the text that she thinks she made a mistake about the Trist they had and she regretted it🤔So doesn’t that mean she was a willing participant???????

"No free man is to be arrested, or imprisoned, or disseised, or outlawed, or exiled, or in any other way ruined, nor will we go against him or send against him, except by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land."

Sadly Obama made this legal when he rescinded habeas corpus. Now any president can order the military to arrest anyone he wants and then to hold them indefinitely without trial or access to a lawyer. Look up the 2012 NDAA and see how the ACLU responded to this action. That was over a decade ago and yet not many people are aware of it.

People already failed this test when Alex Jones was banned from social media about 4-5 years ago. Next up was Trump’s banning from it too. Many people cheered both times. I protested, but I couldn’t get others to see where it was leading.

"First they came for…., but I wasn’t one so I said nothing."

I’ve never actually watched his show, but his livelihood is being ruined before any proof in court by his anonymous accusers. I’m glad I’m a little retired “nobody” with nothing to fear by speaking out. This is dangerous territory and as an American, it’s wrong.

Right On! An historical perspective (Magna Carta ); proof that all government is improperly involved- Excellent!

I disagree. Attacking Brand over most likely false allegations is just going to backfire. People understand now more than ever that this is just a tactic

Remember at the height of the me too movement when conservatives like Kavanaugh and others were 'just' accused of sexual harassment and the left was quite happy with it along came Tara Reade who accused Biden of sexually assaulting her and those who were happy about Kavanaugh turned on her and disbelieved her accusations. The things they said about her were beyond disgusting and belief. I have no idea how those people didn’t have a permanent case of whiplash!
