Russell Brand under attack

Well look, we knew he was promiscuous and a drug addict. It was never a secret and he wrote about it at length himself.

Now, does that excuse being coercive? Obviously not. He never admitted to being coercive let alone rape, but then you wouldn't really expect him to.

You could even look at the last decade of his sharing his therapy and process of becoming a reformed character, as preparing for this day - if you were cynically minded.

He's built a following who will defend him and interpret this as the Matrix attacking him.

so... why now?

There's been a good 15 years in which these women could come forward and report him to the BBC, Channel 4, Endemol, or the Police. This is just as much a failing on those organisations AGAIN for allowing this kind of thing to go on.

So undoubtedly, this was precipitated by his growing following and telling the truth.

It proves one thing for sure - Russell Brand is NOT controlled opposition.

I tend to take his humility at face value, I think he's sorry for what he did.

in my opinion, they are trying to shut him up because he's spitting too much truth... the allegations are complete rubbish

I've never trusted Russell Brand. I find his fake 'yoof' manner extremely irritating and think that a man of his age, 48, should talk like an adult. His past links seem to have been overlooked because he became a 'troofer'. I had direct experience with a certain David Shayler who went from being an MI5 agent to being the darling of both the conspiracy and anti-war movements who embraced him as a hero. I spent a few occasions with him, on a long journey, at dinner and in a meeting, as well as watching him speak to audiences and witnessed that he went from knowing nearly nothing to parroting excerpts from David Icke's books as if he was exposing the subjects himself, all the while soaking up data from everybody willing to share their details with him. Then, perhaps when his mission was accomplished, he was exfiltrated, so to speak, not once but twice, firstly as a 'messiah' and then as transgender persona Dolores thus destroying his legacy and credibility with his former campaign comrades. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that his op started many years before, exposing MI5's plot to kill Gaddafi etc., exile in France and going to prison - to establish himself as a renegade. I literally saw people queuing up to give him their contact details and said to my then partner that he could be an intelligence vacuum cleaner.

I always suspected that Russell Brand might be up to something similar. A few years ago, I saw a quite disturbing video exposing Russell Brand as a pretty dodgy person but it does not seem possible to find it now; if it is still out there, it is in a haystack thanks to the current media coverage - if anybody has a link, I'd be grateful. Maybe there was something to it and he was compromised. I don't think that he has been exposed now simply to discredit him, I think that he was used as a Pied Piper (he actually penned his own version of the story of the Pied Piper - talk about predictive programming) to lure those whose beliefs contradicted the propaganda and then dump them one way or another. What bewilders me is the tenacity with which his supporters are clinging onto him perhaps oblivious to the consequences. Everybody who has lent him credibility could pay the price but may be still experiencing cognitive dissonance - unwilling to see reality. It is a murky world.

At any rate, I imagine Brand's "interviewing" and podcast career will be down the toilet because nobody will do his shows anymore because of fear of "guilty by association" and all of that, so it looks like cancel culture might get our dear Russell Brand! :(
