The Fall of Russell Brand
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июн 2024
- 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?

Don't forget his affzir with the rotschild heiress --- Russel had his reputation already in the trash in the UK at least a decade ago
people prentend being anti politics is a valid position. if your anti institution regardless of who operates it, then your just a sheep of the other heard.
Very well written video, I hope this reaches those who are in Russels grasps, and they consider the many questions you raised.
Your production is a balm. I appreciate it. Particularly when you’re showing footage you put a blinds-like affect on the screen. The effect I experience is to be a bit less transfixed.
22:05 in the voice-over you misread "excluding all Ventavia subjects" as "INcluding all Ventavia subjects"... minor error, but pretty significant difference in meaning in context, especially if someone is just listening to this.
I think Brand is just extremely angry because someone stole the first three buttons on all his shirts.
😂😂😂
That made me laugh out loud! 😂
LMAOOO
Definitely funnier than anything Brand has ever come up with!
That, and the Katy Perry Alimony money must be running out.
Government?
no, it's COMPANIES that love monthly payments, saas services, where people dont BUY stuff, but subscribe into a service where they have unlimited access to services, but they dont OWN anything.
the WEF and other global wanna be dictators want this though
Yes, Russell Brand is also a company. It's just a big grift.
I have a hard time looking for a difference between companies (corporation) and government.
That's a strange assertion. The service business model is not malicious, it's an alternative to ownership which in many cases has its own ongoing costs.
World economic Forum throws ideas in the air for economists to think of, and low education people think they revealed their secret plan.
Phizer said it investigated claims and found no problems with the results that they reported.... this is the whole problem. There should be an outside 3rd party to investigate this, not the company investigating itself.
Independent researchers did test the Pfizer vaccine. You just posted propaganda on a video about propaganda. The irony 😂
There is... clinical trials are always under the oversight of regulatory bodies. And the doctors performing those trials are not employed by pfizer either. They work independently. Pfizer is the "sponsor" of the trial.
Pfizer* it's a German Surname but also comes from the Language: Latein/Latin.
It means to whistle in Latin☺️
Phizer is paying everbody off. Corruption is rife.

That "just asking questions" line is so annoying
@@Imperial_Squid Catechetical Method was put to great use by both Socrates & Cicero. Probably it's a matter of taste if found annoying.
@@willbaro5879 Do you mean the socratic method? Since that's about question and answer reasoning. All I can find for catechetical method is stuff about christian worship etc.
And sure, the socratic method can be useful, but it requires that the person asking the questions is acting in good faith. But most of the time the people saying they're "just asking questions" are just trying to cover for the appearance of bias, while having a clear agenda to the questions, as is the case with Brand
I believe the original poster was mocking the phrase for the very reasons you outline - and for humor, did so over the question of what happened to cartoon characters for emphasis. @Imperial_Squid
@@Imperial_Squid catechesis means teaching, instruction. It has nothing to do with worship.
Not every conspiracy is a theory.
Yeah, but it all gets fuzzy when people say ‘conspiracy’ when they mean ‘conspiracy theory’.
@@julianmorrisco I totally agree!! thats such a big thing.. like how can so many people just use that word in such a willy-nilly way? Like it means that conspiracy is inherently a dumb idea. Conspiracies just don't happen! that's mad!
anyone today who questions the state or powerful people are called conspiracists
thus the mass media calls everything a conspiracy.
Even Alex jones who is the dumbest conspiracist is right 1/3 of the times.
Trumps call to be peaceful in 6 Jan attack was shadowbanned on twitter while there were more then 150 secret agents in that parade, Jacob Anthony Angeli Chansley in prison when there is video evidence of him reading out trumps message on the megaphone.
its all a conspiracy because trumo incited violence right?? RIGHT?? @@althepsyphros3314
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.
The problem is that critical thinking is not widely developed enough for many people to differentiate between what is possible and what is plausible.
Ok. Are you saying mainstream media does NOT censor information?
On the other side of that; you really think these grifters don't omit information in order to make what they say seem more true? Brand found a niche and hit the ground running. It's incredibly easy money to be had.
@@MattAngiono What are you talking about? He's been a celebrity for like 20 years. And that's exactly how a grift works. You pivot to something you see others will latch on to. He got viral recognition for something, and then went full force into that. I can see now why the grift was so easily spent on you.
Citizens of the planet are NOT GONNA TAKE THEIR LIES ANYMORE! And they know it! They`re getting DESPERATE!
Conspiracy theories by their nature sort the vulnerable away from the pack. Easy pickings for hyenas.
@@billweir1745
That's the thing though, he does not claim to be impartial, that's why he and other independent reporters are more trustworthy than mainstream media, at least they are being honest about their biases.
The difference between established facts and conspiracy theories is about 3 weeks nowadays.
Sadly, there is no need for vast global conspiracy theories, as terrible things occur right in front of our faces; for example, the corporate capture of government agencies, such as, environmental agencies. (I just checked my own environmental protection agency members - 2 property developers, 1 corporate environmental lawyer, 1 business professor who advocates the cultural importance of mining, 1 prof who writes papers on oil and gas and mining issues. [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?]).
That's fucking dystopic.
“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of people in society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorises it and a moral code that justifies it” (Frederic Bastiat)
Cynicism is the wisdom of the dolt -- and only stupid people plunder close to home.
This reminds me of the recent quote and its many versions, "When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."

:] good guess but if ya know.. ya know
And then the plebs come out defending that very system which is growing ripe at the cost of their lives.
You seem to have missed the part at the beginning where Brand says he is not claiming a conspiracy, but demonstrating where economic interests align between powerful corporations and governments and unelected organizations claiming to act on our behalf.
I don't think that's the point people are trying to make. People don't think Brand is authentic, basically we see him as a grifter who is taking advantage of gullible people who get a sense of belonging by calling out grand conspiracies. Some people have a problem with dip shits like that.

It wasn't the Telegraph who worked alongside Ch4 in reporting the allegations, it was The Times & The Sundsy Times - 2 different publications.
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.
I’ve been having my own little bout with conspiracies lately, I’m off social media besides RUclips, am involved with sales and political campaigns and read way too many history books about the lead up to and rebuilding of Europe and WW2. The legalization of weed combined with my adhd and insatiable hunger for more information has made me feel legit crazy the last few months. BUT what your video showed me is why I’ve started thinking like this and helped me recognize it and chill out. It’s about control in my life and I really truly cannot thank you enough. This video needs to reach more people, please remake without Russell Brand as the main character bc I could give two f*cks about him but explaining why someone’s family member or themselves is starting to act like Charlie in the mailroom looking for Pepe Silvia would possibly save some people from making poor decisions this November.

The WEFFERS are still coming for you. But why worry? 😅
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that people aren't out to get you😊
What the h3ll, this guy said trust the mainstream media! This guy is not telling the truth! 90% of the media in the United States is controlled by just six corporations (that have aligned interests).
The medía blamed Russía for destroying their own pipeline, which is absurd and we now know to be untrue.
The Cøvïd vaccíne, does have issues, 900% increase in heart problems and the medía doesn’t tell you that, nor did he.
The medía called anyone questioning the origin of Cøvid a racíst propagandísts but the lab origin turns out to be true.
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.
The media says repłacement theory is a myth but then also predict whíte Eurøpeans and whíte Americans will be a minority in their own countríes within decades. So which is it, is it a “myth” or are whíte people going to be the mínority.
9-11 is suspicíous, no vídoes other than a couple frames of what hit the pentagøn was released, $2.3 trillion was “unaccounted” for and (steel) building 7 came down from “office fires”
JFK is also suspiciøus!
Epsteín self delete was suspicíous!
Short list of actual real conspiracies:

* Tuskegee Syphilis Study
* MKUltra
* Human radiation experiments
* Alcohol poisoned during prohibition
* Operation Paperclip
* Operation Mockingbird
* Operation Condor
* Operation Sea Spray
* Project FF
* Project Sunshine
* Operation Midnight Climax

@@MattAngiono I mean that this saying goes : Just because you'r paranoid doesn't mean there after you,but they probably aren't. Because paranoia is a mental disease.
When applied to someone like Brand I find it rather ironic. Because he's an
example of someone who benefits from the capitalist system.
The mantra 'YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY' is a direct quote from the WEF. It is not just an imagined outcome.
Except that isnt the WEF's stance at all. It was posted on the wef's equivalence of the opinion section by Ida Auken, intended to be her vision of the future "for better or worse" with the intention of provoking discussion, not revealing any kind of truths. The quote is also often misattributed to klaus schwab, who had nothing to do with it.
So yes, this is the definition of an imagined outcome, it was literally a made up scenario by Auken.
What you imply is that this quote was simply a comment posted on an opinion section, You are a deceiver and liar. 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.
@@mdd4296 Oh and and Just to be clear the WEF also state.. you will rent everything..Which is of course the case when you OWN Nothing! People like you are part of the problem we have in this World.
@@mozesmarcus461 Mozes you are wrong and I will tell you why. The WEF runs a training program for future world leaders. They have done this for decades and have trained and indoctrinated thousands upon thousands of politicians. 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. Same goes for the WHO who are currently grabbing powers from almost all countries around the World using WEF trained Politicians to implement laws handing powers to the WHO.
@@dumalucky It's not a comment posted on an opinion section. It was an article posted in the opinion section similar to how forbes have their own opinion section where those "forbes said x" clickbait article find the most wild shit to repost.
That video you mentioned was "WEF by 2030" literally said "8 predictions for the world in 2030". Again, a made up scenario similar to what Auken intended. 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. I dont need to deduce batshit insane plots from scant information to know that the wef only concern is to preserve the current capitalist world order with newer technology, like every other intragovernments organs before and after it.

No matter how RB is framed whether it is a conspiracy theorist or someone that is upset with the economics of the world it will only cause people to dig deeper into the truth of the matter which in turn is a good thing.
It is unlikely that there is one such truth and it is all centrally controlled. There different issues and different "truths".
It might. Can you point us all to a cause that Brand has initiated, in which his attention to a previously unknown issue led to wide investigation and defeat of that evil?
The problem here is that people don't actually dig deeper, they tend to pivot to sources of OPINION that reflect their own interests, beliefs and biases.
@@judewarner1536Kia Ora Jude, well said
The Conspiratorial mindset, as opposed to being one of laser sharp accuracy, is one that is porous and open to any kind of suggestion or mesmerism.
Perfect for exploiting for profit.
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.
Yeah hes just an unintelligent fake down to his last $20 million living a lie … have a look at the issues a bit deeper and you may understand he has some integrity imo
Excellent, as always! Thank you!
Where?!?
Brand hasn't fallen, and the world will be better off for that. We need more people putting a big spotlight on those who mean to do us all harm. Legacy media will never do that.
The smallest story can have the biggest consequences. What is deemed to be "most important" to report on, in your eyes, is merely a tool of fear and distraction to pull the audience in line.
Seems like a 5.7K likes to 2.7K dislikes ratio would suggest that RUclips's algorithm has certainly been trying to change the minds of his awakening wonders, among others, but failing. Yet another co-ordinated attempt to devalue what Russell encourages everyone to do - question everything. That has always been the core value of a rational, critical thinker but it just gets labelled as conspiracy theory, as if that is meant to discredit or discourage such critical thinkers.
To that end, our creator/author here is not being intellectually honest and RUclips is attempting to take advantage of such useful creators.
Russel Brand tells lies because he doesn't know the difference between real conspiracies and imaginary ones. He started falling into a pattern of believing every event that ever happens is part of the same grand conspiracy and thus he has become an ideologue which sort of makes it ironic now that he still sees himself as some enlightened guru... He actually reads mainstream articles as his main news source on his podcast, iduno if anyone noticed that. Just because he spins an opinion after it, he's not reading off mainstream headlines? That's also what the mainstream news does too
You are in a cult. BRand sucks as much as daddy Peterson.
It's not enough to simply "question" things - the smallest children ask questions all the time. And most of their questions are braindead and silly, and betray only that they don't even understand things well-enough to ask useful questions. It may be important to ask questions, but what is more important is _answering_ questions in detailed and useful ways.
Neither Brand nor any other person who engages in conspiratorial thinking does that.
I would love to teach you and others the difference, but in my experience none of you are actually interested in learning it.
@@thealmightyaku-4153 Talk to people in a condescending manner and then you wonder why your experience isn't to your liking.
You are right about the importance of answering questions but you seem to ignore that:
a) Initially, answers ordinarily follow on from questions
b) When those accountable refuse to answer questions (Pfizer, et al), it should at least serve to make the public less trusting of them and that definitely counts for something
You talk a big game about who needs educating but clearly you're the one who didn't put enough thought into your argument before you typed all those words.
@@larzblast If I sound condescending it's because I've been playing this game a _loooooong_ time, and I've encountered these types - _your_ type - *COUNTLESS* times. I'm very tired of people who are ignorant, stupid, and yet completely lacking in intellectual humility having their voices amplified, now moreso than ever in the Age of Social Media, and making the world a worse place for it.
Answers do _not_ ordinarily follow on from from questions - at least not correct ones. First of all, sometimes there _IS_ no answer that can be found: too many pieces of the jigsaw are missing. Then of course, the first thought that automatically pops into your head when wondering about something is almost certainly not correct; and actually finding out things that _are_ correct is difficult, time-consuming, and actually a task of enormous skill - and in my experience, quite frankly, not everyone can do it.
And even then, you can typically never be sure that the answer you've come to is correct, or the final answer. That's why the legal principle of "innocent until proven guilty" should be considered sacrosanct, and skepticism, especially of your own beliefs and conclusions, is the highest intellectual virtue.
As such, who are you to say that Pfizer even have anything to answer for? What _hard evidence_ is there for any actual wrongdoing? Suspicion means nothing. "Refusing to answer questions" also means nothing: they're a private company, and as such, under no real obligation to reveal their internal workings to anyone, any more than you're obligated to reveal to me the layout of your living room. But more importantly, you're making the assumption that any suspicions you have - any 'questions' you're asking - are worthy of being answered, instead of (as I implied in my original comment) childish nonsense 'questions'.
It's like that old Creationist 'gotcha', "If evolution is true, why are there still monkeys?" That question cannot be answered directly, because it's a useless question - you can only give a correct answer to it by denouncing and refuting its premise, because the question is based in a total misunderstanding of the actual matter it questions, and it misses the point.
Are you sure your "questions" aren't like that? Because if they _are_ like that, no actual correct answer will ever actually satisfy you.
While this video claims that Brand is not giving us the whole picture but taking selected pieces of data and blowing them out of proportion, the author himself hasn't given us the whole picture of Brand, but has selected a few of Brand's claims and blew them out of proportion.
Brand seems authentic but a little confused. Almost everything of what he says is true.
While at the same time calling him a hypocrite
Personal attacks seems to be the tactic of Shaytan.@@davevoyce131
Brand is an untrustworthy narcissist.
And my conclusion is based not on this video, but watching Brand over time.
However one point this video makes does summarise my view tidily: he has gone from championing minority causes - I presume he did this out of goodness - to echoing debunked conspiracy theories - I presume he did this for money & exposure.
I don't think he's willfully evil - but you don't have to be evil to lend evil a hand.
The number of people who will fall for this is truly saddening 😢

Yes I click on Russell’s vids I usually last about 2 minutes until I realise it’s his usual BS get board and view something else. I can usually make it through Newsnight. Measuring views is not a good measure of relevance😂 If I want news I don’t go to a comic!
@@youngsalmon5188 yes i dont always agree with russell and i've critqued the style a few time, but if you can get through newsnight.... i kinda feel a bit sorry for you, i dont mean that as an insult please dont take it that way, its just that the msm is not on our side. it is not journalism. the fact that some people still think it is? is disheartening. and i while i agree views arent really a measure of relevance or accuracy etc etc, the lack of views are a measure. the msm died about 30 years ago, maybe more. maybe the 80s when msm took orders from thatchers government to lie about the number of miners going back to work at each mine in the country, i knew it was lies then, and it was exposed as lies quite a while ago. so, ok watch newsnight, but if its a genuine topic i guarantee it is spun for the government, and quite often the assumption it hands you (the soft sell) are the most dangerous. these guys are the goodies and these are the baddies of course, but what can we do?... as if theres no solution to a problem that is very clearly solvable, using morals logic ethic or laws. we sanction russia for ukraine and cripple the uk population with energy prices, and yet an even bigger crime is going on and we supply the goodies with supplies to enable it? we won. we wrote history. history defines the characters. and we grow up with a narrative so far away from reality its not funny. thats why we need a comedian. russell does really well at debunking the false narrative. and jon stewart was a vital voice of sanity for so long. peace is out there, but only one side has no use for peace.
@@TheMadmacsbut bringing everyone's views to the table is not a balanced view when one side is 10 out of a million. That side has no merit. Constantly questioning things based on views of not only a minority but such a small minority distorts things and makes it look like the issue is still open.
I am not saying that whistleblowers haven't come forward and shown that the majority is unaware of all the facts but once a point has been made and then shown to be false it should be dropped.
so how do you feel about the late george carlin?
There's a big difference between the kind of intelligent, thoughtful commentary that Carlin engaged in, and being a conspiracy-addled goofass like Brand. One of these people thought critically, the other fails to think.
carlin was the greatest. Brand is not
That's offensive to Carlin's memory that you even mention Russell Brand in the same breath
Carlin never adopted any conclusion based on speculation, but he did ask all the open ended questions. Governments lie to us, that does not mean they are run by reptile people.

The WEF and the great reset seemed to be linked to black rock by ESG which seems to be seen as the fundamental block of Central bank digital currency and digital id’s.
Exactly. Brand pouncing on the blatant and outrageous statements gives a perception of a "win" when the actual objective is met.
"At least we're not eating bugs or being forced vxd" ... while buying lab grown meat with our digital currency...
But this can backfire if the facts point clearly that the counternarrative is in fact correct. And that's the huge risk in the post-msm age.

Russell is indeed weird/eccentric. But he's not wrong about the enrire world being lied to about COVID origins, vax misrepresentation, unjust censorship, and government overreach. When the hidden truth is discovered, generally the most common affirmative defense is to call the truth a "conspiracy theory."
You mean people that don't accept the mainstream narrative
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.
Noooooooo. He’s encouraging research and for people NOT to receive all of their information and opinions from media and accept it as their own. Listen to all sides of the story, even the silenced/least accepted ones. But we’re brainwashed into thinking there’s some “correct” way to think. Everyone feels righteous but we’re all just judgmental.

@@MercurialStatic no, tbh I just have complicated feelings about conspiracy theorists because I had a coworker who I cared about who died from his belief in conspiracies (he had a treatable illness and we're Canadian, but he opted not to get it treated by doctors). I also live in an area where it seems like these things catch hold really well, and I used to work with a lot of people who were unhoused, and they almost 100% seem to believe conspiracies across the board. It's hard to blame them when they don't have safe places to go at the end of the day, and it makes me pity them a lot.

Russel Brand asks questions.
Here is a theory: dictators and ideologists do not like questions, they HATE TRUTH.
Lmfao Russel brand literally takes money from those people, look up Leonard Leo and Peter Theil. They are billionaire psychos who want the world to burn so they can rule over the ashes, and Brand isn't even close to good as hiding his biases lol( though they aren't even his biases because he spoke his actual political ideology years ago and it's MILES different then the kind of shit he peddles now ). He'd rather take buckets of money to promote conspiracies and right wing nutjobs while promoting the same culture war issues that turn us against eachother and keep our eyes off people like Theil and Leo. 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. Keep seeing other americans as the enemy, because some billionares told you those "vermin leftists" are evil and terrible( you know, your family, friends, neighbors, coworkers) , I'm sure that never turned out bad before lmao.
he asks lazy questions, and talks to his audience as if they were five year olds
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.
Too many bots & establishment cheerleaders here.
ideologists? what do you think that is?
I think it is a bad idea to assume farmer are family owned, small operations. Many of them are huge corporate operations, which keep the small family farm picture in our mind
And also foreign ownership by government owned companies. Mass amounts of Canadian farm lands and energy and other industries in Canada are owned by private corporations and governments from outside countries.
Aah yes, first force the family owned operations to become a business with an unending forest of rules and regulations. Then they are businesses, and they are bad.
Pharma*
It's pretty disingenuous of you to quote numbers of deaths "with covid" as deaths "because of covid". You've clearly done enough research to know that these are not the same.
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.
I 100% agree with you 😊
Steven crowder had 2 papers of complete jibberish per reviewed favourable resulting in offers to appear at conventions as an “EXPERT”. 😂😂😂😂. Proving the value of the per review validation as COMPLETELY USELESS 😢
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’. Thank you all for your comments, I appreciate them and this video too.
Great comment by you..
Bang on comment. Fair play.
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.
I would like to see all the evidence of how extensive the nitrate issue is to health, I'm curious how it compares to the many health issues that appear to be prevalent among vaccinated people globally.
@@garynelson2409 Indeed, I think the latter have proven to be far more threatening to the health of their recipients, than the nitrate issue. "Safe and effective".......
That scenario assumes that all live stock raising will be stopped. Where does it say that all live stock farms will be bought up? The goal is to maintain nitrogen levels in bodies of water and to prevent algal blooms and improve water quality. Perhaps more flexibility and support is needed. Btw. the landgrab has happened already. Agricultural enterprises went from 410,000 to 55,000.
You’re wrong about their objective being to starve millions of people! Billions is more like it!

Thank you so much for making a video about this!
I used to love Russell Brand. His older work on RUclips felt, to me, very anti-capitalist and collectivist. Then, he partnered with Amazon (a corporate monopoly he had critiqued) to release an Audible-only audiobook, and shortly after, his videos became more focused on conspiracies after he tapped into the right-wing audience and got millions of views. My sense of his integrity dissolved. I used to see a highly intelligent man rightly critiquing power structures… now I see a highly intelligent capitalist chasing dollars.

@@MattAngiono wise words. Coming from the really left myself I couldn’t agree more. I’ve always follows the principle of doing your best to understand your opponent instead of just judging them. That’s how I started to listen to people who I considered complete idiots due to manipulation we all were subjected to (the media). Typical example is Trump being edited to appear saying that drinking bleach prevents C19 complications. I watched the unedited version and immediately stopped my biases. After that I returned back to my old self which was not manipulated by the social media and mass hypnosis. And then 2020 came. That was just so plainly and painfully obvious that I didn’t require anything but downloading raw data from all official sources I could and analyzed it myself. A year later experts follows the same path and validated 99% of my conclusions. I was beyond terrified. Now I’m calm and confident again. But fully aware and awake.

A conspiracy is when a group works together for a desired outcome, conspiring is a normal part of human life. Enforcing which group’s desired outcomes we are allowed to talk about is normal too, it’s called manipulation. "To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize." - Voltaire
But planned and organized working together and this is what is not happening. It’s also not coincidence, it’s the flow of the system
FYI you're not quoting "Voltaire" 😓
Your definition is really bad.
If the group working together is not hiding it, if the purpose is not nefarious (to the target of said conspiracy at least), it's not a conspiracy.
Absolutely anything related to the cooperation of several people would be a conspiracy in your view.
So for exemple if I want to create a business with a friend, it's a conspiracy right?

@@svenjorgenson3224Nitrogen is necessary for the crops. So are many other minerals. Doesn't mean we need artificial fertilizers. Instead we need more manure from livestock, more crop circulation from year to year (or from reaping to sowing), smaller sizes of crop specific farmlands, and especially a larger amount of the population working with farming. Too many people are living in cities nowadays, which makes us crazy, because we lose our connection with Nature and instead start to believe all kinds of unnatural ideologies, religions and "educational" indoctrination because of how lost we are (or because of violent oppression from our rulers). 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. Our ideology should be based in love, cooperation, peace, compassion, self defense, understanding, practicality and common sense.

I have no specific bias to RB but I wouldn't mind anything that he is frequently pointing to, because I would rather believe that the rich and powerful have nothing in common with us and will do their outmost to haord power and wealth for themselves. This action is practical and it's happening visibly all the time, I mean who's there to stop them really? This is plain and visible everyday, I can't believe we even argue this, no matter what RB says. And yes, these people are companies, governments and individuals, who else can?
exactly
Yes. There are certainly two realities. The one most of us live in, then the one they live in. Theirs is one that produces nothing and is utterly negative and counter to natural law. It needs to steal from ours for sustenance. They have gone to great lengths to shift the apparatus of the state to ensure that it continues to our detriment. RB is just a public figure that is broadcasting this that many of us already know.
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.

Name a major corporation that hasn’t infringed on monopoly laws

Exactly.
The one making the accusation has the burden to provide the proof and the examples

Do you believe supranational corporations have our best interests at heart? Do they support democracy? I dont think so.
At some point around 2008 when the crash happened, they found a way to manipulate the people who called them out. I'm talking about banks and major corporations.

His informative podcasts and interviews are great. Supported by data and articles. His following is growing. And with others of similar views following as well. The backlash only showing the truths he is telling
His reporting on bioreaesrch labs in Ukraine was the most egregious retelling of something that was absolutely known about as something hidden and shadowy. I cannot ever take him seriously and the idea he’s telling “truths” as absolute laughable.
Amen, very true, this trash channel is the proof that the backlash is starting to hurt the plebs.

News events are not "spin-free"
Too many bots & establishment cheerleaders here.
I often feel its a shame that conspiracy theorists channel their quite healthy scepticism into such bizarre, dangerous and wrong ideas, and turn healthy scepticism into unhealthy paranoia.
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.
Don't worry. The conspiracy theories are safe and effective

Why was the Bank for International Settlements created?
The establishment of the BIS
The BIS was established in the context of the Young Plan (1930), which dealt with the issue of the reparation payments imposed on Germany by the Treaty of Versailles following the First World War.

EU countries for 70+ years: farmers use more fertilizer, we got mouths to feed!
EU countries now: we're going to fine you for doing what we said. What's that? You can't afford to farm anymore? Let me "buy" that land from you.
Definitely not a conspiracy at play there... 🤦
Yes, clearly it's not just a reassessment of the dangers of fertilisers, is it? It must be a conspiracy because everything is

In Sweden we have large established media avoiding certain subjects repeatedly. For years.

It's owned by the W-bergs, everything in Sweden basically, hell they're even bigger than the Rschilds and Rfellers. It's a farce of a democracy with one of the most brainwashed naive populations on the planet.
@@guywithalltheanswers6942 man, i hope, you don't mean the people i assume you mean. But lets just say: Anyone who is talking in extremes on any topic or avoids it completely, has most likely not your best interest in mind but your attention and money. There are not many black/white topics. For sure not big and complex topics like immigration, guns, gender or crime and both sides of the mainstream media have already extreme positions - for example the left claims that immigration is not a problem at all and the right claims that they are basically all criminals and r*pists and "poison the blood". Both positions are not real, they are dogmatic and anyone even more left/right is even more wrong and most likely on purpose.
It is one thing to say that the established media have ignored topics of concern to citizens (I agree). But that is completely separate from the target of this video, which is misinformation and conspiracies propagated by people like Brand.
Same in Central Europe
I remember the canadian trucker protests. That was the moment i watched a livestream then the news told me the complete inverse of everything i saw live. This was the moment i realised there's nothing the media can ever tell me again. It felt like the truman show when he sees behind the set.
I had the same experience exactly and it freaked me out. I watched hours and hours of livestream. Then the news reported the opposite.
exactly, humanity is collectively truman, and one by one we sail to the edge of the dome of propaganda and escape to the truth of the real world
@@AnaLucia-wy2ii during the lockdown I learned many things about media and politics but this stood out for me because I was being eye witness to their bs. I've never watched a news story the same way since.
We had anti mandate protests in Australia with 100 thousand people and the news reported a few hundred. We walked past the media and they had their cameras down...but they filmed antifa who were protesting against us and had 50 people. They don't want to show people the reality because it might wake others up.
I was worried this would be some mad conspiracy video about Russell Brand but I was pleasantly surprised
What do you mean by "conspiracy video", please? Conspiring against Brand in some way? It makes no sense in relation to proper English language usage.
He is still pulling in 500K+ views/video
There are a lot of conspiracy nuts out there, hungry for content
So are people dancing on tiktok. Doesn't mean I want them to spoon feed me insane worldviews.
"The fall of"? Are you talking about Russel brand who gets tons of new subs all the time, or are you talking about the mainstream media, that went down another 20-40% in 2023?
Being a successful nutjob doesn’t change the fact you’re a nutjob.
The fall of his integrity.
@@Sebloe He's no longer a liberal lefty drug addict, methinks integrity plus.
Russell Brand has never been more popular lol
Yea this is what I thought. Doesn’t seem that he’s fallen yet
@@josephcarrdus3132 the billionaires that control the media work tirelessly to disarm people by convincing them that they are "mainstream" and by telling you what they wish was true, what would benefit them if it were true, such as describing russell brand as "fallen", while anyone who has seen even 2 russell brand videos and knows his youtube channel, and it's growth, are completely aware that that is totally untrue. they prey on those who are ignorant of the facts to convince them of their narrative and this is exactly what russell brand, and many other mavericks in today's media landscape, are exposing, and they hate it
He "fell" so far, he floated to the top.
i´ll bet he will be even more popular in jail.
He’s positioned himself to be used as a co-signer and image launderer for far-right propaganda and ideology he’s said he doesn’t agree with. Everything else aside, that seems like a bad position to be in and he’s voluntarily placed himself there.
He thought he was going to have good faith discussions with infamous conservative figureheads about problems facing western society and that each side would give a little (lmmfao at the idea of cons doing anything that doesn’t benefit them directly) and they’d find meaningful solutions somewhere in the middle. I had no idea how short-sighted, naive and easily manipulated Brand could be.
He was a homeless hustler and street addict for years. How did he completely miss out on the education in street smarts that come as a byproduct of living that lifestyle?
Wonders never cease
The big problem I have with Russell Brand is that he often leaves his viewer worse off than where he found them. He will discredit any mainstream viewpoints on an issue and then say "I dont have the answers." Thus leaving the viewer with nothing but distrust and confusion. To me thats being a chaos agent and not providing anything useful to society.
cry baby
@@sayit1196 This is what I expect from one of his viewers. Zero reading comprehension. That's why you need him to read the news for you.
This is such a good point to make. Sowing distrust and confusion doesn't help anyone. It's fine to point out things, but you need to lead people towards an answer. otherwise they end up drifting towards something that only appeals to their feelings.

And to think I just came on here to find out what Russell Brand had been doing in the past ten years while I thought he'd fallen off the face of the earth lol.
One thing I'd add. Brand had an interview with Paxman *before* the viral one in 2013 that was less about politics and more about celebrity culture and fame (and the Andrew Sachs incident). 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.
@@MattAngiono If you think the world under the Tories + Republican is not different in so many substantial ways from the world under the Labour + Democrats, you're either not paying attention or stupid.

@@MattAngiono In America we believe in freedom, this freedom includes not to vote. Let people live their lives freely, what is the other option? Force ppl to vote? ha
*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.
@@MattAngiono the only form of political activity less effective than voting, is not voting.
At the same time, voting for the "lesser evil" and not voting at all are two sides of the same fundamental error: ceding the territory to the enemy.
*The working class needs its own party.* And where attempts are being made to build one, those attempts require support.
Don't throw away your vote - vote "third party".
@@SorendeSelbyBowen it's not about thinking it's the same under both it just factually is the same. Voting does nothing. But you go ahead and save the world with your little vote. By the way this snobby attitude is exactly why people are turned off by voting and politics in general.
Just remember that the guy has a big house and family in Hendon. He speaks up for the poor just for clout, at heart he is as capitalist as his tally ho neighbours even if he is not blowing the horn on the hunt. He is as establishment as it gets when you think about his broadcasting work for the BBC.
I regard him as a self-selected gatekeeper of the left, locking alternative politics into conspiracy story talking points. I am pleased that, for whatever reason, he has me-too-ed his way out of the limelight.
im not sure this guy is anything close to leftist.
EDit: i would add that he is much closer to a jimmy dore type of liberal loon.
I agree with you that he’s full of it, but would point out he did start as working class, and was employed by channel 4 not the BBC.
I would say he uses his clout to speak for the working class, not the other way around. I resent the implication that as soon as someone gets success in the capitalist system, that they lose their right to speak about issues that are a product of that system.
My theory is that RB is a bad actor schilling himself for the.....yes, freemason's/illuminati. My developing theory is that the FM are at the root of all conspiracy theories and that "Freemasonry" is just the modern day mask the unholy spirit wears. "Freemason" roots can be traced all the way back to Cain. Through chaos bring order? I think they have bad actors on every side imaginable, planting seeds of division, confusion and fear.🫤 That's what I think anyway. And I agree with your summation of this character.👍
I understand your argument, but I do not find it convincing. I know of plenty of moderately wealthy lefties. I thought, indeed hoped, that he might also be one. It's when he kept banging on about conspiracy this, conspiracy that, that I started to doubt him. These allegations of misconduct against him have simply soured me to him as a person, irrespective of his politics.

There was plenty I didn't agree with but I was happy to listen until you started saying things like, the corporate media could not get away with harping on small stories "like Brand does" or construct speculative narratives and are obligated to report "based on the dominant body of evidence". It makes so much else seem disingenuous in retrospect.
Exactly my thought!
I completely agree!!

Ok not very long into the doc yet, but o the meaning of calling someone a conspiracy theorists, even though there has been real conspiracies there is always "Lacan's jelous husband": Jacques Lacan said that a husband who is pathologically jealous from suspecting that his wife is sleeping with other men is still to be considered as a pathological case, even though his wife is in fact cheating on him.
hang on a minute ... was titled as being about the fall of Russell Brand, and new we're being lectured on what a 'conspiracy' is.
