The Fall of Russell Brand
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 พ.ค. 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.
“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.
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.
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 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.

@@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.
Dude, I live in the Netherlands!
And Brand is right!
It's EU promoted, we are NOT OK with these nitrogen plans !
I’ve been having my own little bout with conspiracies lately, I’m off social media besides TH-cam, 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.

I had ADHD. Get the medication (Adderall/Ritalin). It really does help, along with counselling.
Wdym 'this november' its january
@@Xind-te4rqposter was referring to election month in the US which is Nov, not the actual date.
The WEFFERS are still coming for you. But why worry? 😅
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.
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 TH-cam'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 TH-cam 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.
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.
@@alvodin6197 "Gullible" Tea, leave the kettle alone.
@@inoshikachokonoyarobakayar2493 "Grifter" seems to be a favourite expression that establishment employees resort to, to apply to anyone trying to remotely tell the truth. The irony being it's these lapdogs who work for the 1% scum-at-the-top, true grifters.
I'm positive you just spoke RB verbatim 😂
@@alvodin6197
Grifter - Tankie insult for someone making money from willing donations by people spending their own money on what they want to.
People making their own decision of where their money goes just eats you commies alive dosen't it...
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.
as in "never ascribe to evil that which can be explained by stupidity"@@lordcommandernox9197
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.
This guy is not targeting hardcore Russell fans. Rather, it would seem that he is trying to discourage those who have just started following Russell, in other words to reduce the expansion of his follower base.
With a soft monotone voice (which starts to irritate after 10 minutes) he tries to show that Russell manipulates his followers, but this guy does the same.
Everyone can and should be criticized ... Russell can sometimes be irritating or in your face... but I don't doubt his integrity
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
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.
Cia
Useful idiots to the likes of Putin
Lol do you get paid for this?
All you’re doing is trying to paint a narrative for people who are ignorant.
@@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.
Jason Kenney is no longer the Premier of Alberta. He was removed from office last year by a vote of no confidence.

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 😢
Brand has all the worst characteristics of a dry drunk/addict.
He's stark staring sober.
Excellent, as always! Thank you!
Where?!?
When Brand started telling everyone to "Question Everything" but left out questioning himself by using the "I'm just asking questions" defence but not really looking for any answers just finding more questions and then asking for people to subscribe to his various paid options is when I dropped off from listening to him. If he wants to be another grifter in a land of grifters that seem to be everywhere all wanting you to spend 4.99 a monthto hear them bloviate that's fine but I have no interest in giving him any of my money or any to others who do what he does.
@@MattAngionodid you give Russell Brand $4.99 ? 😏
He is good at talking, and that is about it.
I would love to know why some people think he is a genius and genuinely compare him to other smart celebrities like Stephen Fry.
I've never particularly liked him, he always came across as full of his own importance.
When somebody claims themselves to be free of any bias and exist as a glass funnel of sorts, that's how you know that they are probably incredibly biased and don't even know it.
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!
starving a country is abit too far, it gotta make money that why they sink teeth in
I don't know who you guys (youtubers) keep finding those awesome matching images (illustrations) to your stories...

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."

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.

@@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.

What is the name of the guy talking in the video?
Lewis Waller
I thought his name was Pinocchio, judging by the untruthful title.
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.

The USA has never had one in power.

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.

A conspiracy is when a group works together for a desired outcome, conspiring is a normal part of human life.

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.
No, we blame GB
The "civilian" government was placed into power by these same military intelligence officers when they hacked to death their pro-Austrian king and his wife a decade earlier... The Austrians were 100% correct, the REAL government of Serbia was absolutely responsible.
Hmm.
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.

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.

Thank you so much for making a video about this!
I used to love Russell Brand. His older work on TH-cam 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.
pure anitfa here; don't step on your own biases.
Yeah, maybe watch the video first? Not just this one but the ones he makes.
You mean when he was on drugs? WTF are you even saying ?
@@X862go wtf you on about? It’s a very long time since he’s taken any drugs.
@@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.
People being critical of Brand because he is willing to discuss openly the obvious discrepancies in the narratives being elaborated by people wanting to fundamentally transforming society believing they are the ones open minded, yet clearly closed their minds to Brand speaking the obvious
No he isn't he's been proven to lie on multiple occasions i.e. his anti-vaccine nonsense.

1:16:40 I feel the opposite, its far more comforting to feel the world has no conspiring evil forces and its all paranoia.
It is far more comforting to realise that the world is bat shit crazy instead of just having a few evil forces that could be "defeated" in theory ?! ... that makes no sense.
I feel the same way. I don’t even understand how the belief in powerful malevolent conspirators could ever be comforting. The new apocalyptic thriller on Netflix produced by Obama says the same thing at the end of the movie, that the “truth is more terrifying” and actually “no one is in control.” I think it’s true that those relentlessly usurping as much control as they can are not truly in control, but they want to be. And I think that difference in perspective might even serve as a litmus test for who would happily grant that control.
@@davidrommm Too many variables to ever be fully in control of everything. But I'm sure you can do a lot to nudge it in the direction you want.
Indeed, I would like to see this guy try to take down researchers like James Corbett and Whitney Webb. Both have in depth bodies of work, unlike Russell Brand.
@@tomasom4497 Brand is much more credible though.
Such a well thought out and measured video.I use to love Russel Brand,he was smart and funny and sexy…couldn’t get enough of him.But down the road he became increasingly shrill and paranoid in his ranting and I began to feel manipulated in a very unsexy way,and more than a little irritated by his new “persona”.Coming across like the consummate insider,while never providing that most essential bit of information,evidence.Finally I just gave up on him,he had ceased to interest me any longer.Thanks for your detailed explanation of this kind of behavior…I hadn’t bothered to actually sit down and think it through.I lost my admiration for him when he began to remind me of Tucker Carlson.
"The MSM have to sift through all with a fine comb..."
If only they did...
Yep, that's the point at which Mr T&N began to strain credulity. Never a fine-toothed comb; usually a meat axe wielded for editorial policy. Even half a century ago we used to give the motto of NYT as _All the news that fits, we print._
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.
RB is doing the same thing the rich do, making money off of our ignorance. Not me, because I don't believe a word out of his lying mouth, but a lot of people fall for conspiracies and garbage this dude spreads.
@@byronfoppola8676 I agree that whatever he is doing couldn't be free and it costs someone something. If it's not costing you then kudos but no one cares. But when you are alleging that his arguments are all lies as a whole then you sound unbelievable. We're all out here trying to discern the truth from the muck and you're championing yourself as an un-gottable intellectual, how fun you must be at parties lol.
There were no "Many ordinary women" making accusations. We don't know how many or their names and we never will because they aren't going to press charges. Brand was targeted, clearly.
That's not clear.
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.
This video is not aging well 🫤
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.
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.
hahaha thank you for the nice joke
News events are not "spin-free"
Too many bots & establishment cheerleaders here.
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.
I always liked Russell Brand. He checked all the boxes: funny, intelligent and good looking. I listened to him for awhile but he became increasingly paranoid in his rant.
I believed he was spiraling into profound mental illness.
As someone who likes to question everything i like the video, even though i do not agree 100%, i do agree on a general point of not beliving anything blindly. Stay free
Especially not everything that the msm keeps spinning on a daily basis. Agreeing with some of the things Russell says doesn't make me a "Russellist". I'm way older than him and 2 decades ahead in time of him in analyzing this human reality. Stay free.
yes, I think it's as important to question the ulterior motives behind the actions of the most powerful entities controlling our lives (particularly considering they've been caught lying over and over) as it is to question the veracity of these theories about what's really happening. I strongly suspect that the most dreadful conspiracies and corruption are those that we have no way of knowing about because the details are too deeply hidden from public view
The fall? I think you mean the rise of russell brand
Just a suggestion for accuracy, I think you should remame the title to 'The Rise of Rusell Brand'... It's where i get my daily news from.
You would be well served not to make Brand your primary news source.
@mattkaz9604 He saved me from injecting myself with untested, experimental, corporate lead stupidity.... one nil to rusell so far.
God help us all . . .
Well he did help prevent me from injecting my self with expensive defence state concieved, corporate backed, government captured, very dangerous experimental stupidity
Bro, it's a rise of Brand only in terms of TH-cam viewing figures because he now gives out easy answers where YOU are smarter than all those pesky doctors and scientists. Of course you are taken in by it. That's the point 👉
Brand is a lot more credible than the leaps made, and abundance of irrelevance to RB in this overly lengthy hit-piece.
He sources his content throughout, much more so than the mainstream media has on some very important stories.
There seems to be a serious lack of actual journalism lately, and more a narrative in much of mainstream media... Brand et al. are very necessary!
I couldn't have said that better, thank you and keep it up!
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!!

@@williammongoose3007 Because the guy who made it is a convid mug or promoter. 🤣
Cope. Brand lost his way again, not from drugs this time, but by throwing spaghetti at the 4th wall and following the right-wing hate-media money more often than not.
Probably not
Hmmm😂
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?
The fall? The guy is more popular than ever, lol. Let me tell you something: just because someone might be prone to paranoia doesn't mean they are just wrong with their claims. If anything, the guy has enough reasons to be paranoid. Looking through the comment section here, some of these responses are weird, kind of bot-like. I suppose all attention is good attention for engagement purposes.
Noone likes Russel Brand
@@lealmelisa I believe his nearly 7 million subscribers would beg to differ. And that's just his TH-cam count.
@@Zenithx3 Oh yes, the easy answer; he's just craAaAazy for speaking such nonsense! Maybe we should also test, Dark Ages style, to see if he's actually a witch.
His fall is from honesty. He starts his videos with a greeting to his audience as the "Awakening Ones". Clearly suggesting that those who watch his content are "awakened" simply because they watch HIM, and believe HIS claims. He used to focus on his self-proclaimed spirituality, as if he were enlightened in some way that others were not. He is his own echo chamber.
I reckon you could do this very same breakdown on any mainstream news feed.
A conspiracy is only a truth yet to be uncovered as such. It does help his case when the conspiracies are all coming true.
So he spends an hour not really disproving anything russel says. While using fringe conspiracies from the 1900s as strawman comparisons to be like "look conspiracy theories are bad" then using semantics to be like "look he says conspiracy theories".
Totally agree. I'm reading through the comments and am shocked (but not surprised) by how many people have swallowed this guy's critique.
@matbrady123456 for a while reading the comments. I was worried I had been lead down the wrong path because I watch ruseel brand sometimes and a lot of what he says is just objectively true. Then I watched the video and the entire time the guy says "while what russel says is true, fuck him specifically". Just because he believes in anti establishment ideal that the news media has labeled alt-right. People immediately close their ears.
Just listen to your leaders. There were WMDs in Iraq. The US did not trade arms for hostages. UFOs are or aren't real depending on the administration. Don't question things
Correct. If this was an attempt at a take-down it flopped hard. It was mealy-mouthed and badly researched. A career in mainstream media awaits.
Except for all the points he showed Brand outright lying, and has sourced in the description? Plenty of these conspiracies have been debunked in other videos time and time again.
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.
He's always been a conspiracy theorist, people were just not listening. Some of his conclusions are justified, some are out there. Indeed he's been leaning to "out there" more in the past years, but I don't know why people are surprised. He literally admitted to most of the things he is being accused for now. 🤷
Brilliant stuff, thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos! A lot of us appreciate this!
Unlike Brand, who just wildly accuses anyone and everyone of being part of some of the worst criminal schemes ever conceived of
I see him as a voice for the people. The questions he asks are legitimate while rich get richer, governments get bigger and more corrupt, and we’re increasingly heavily influenced by non ruling bodies (WEF).
i always wonder to what time in history you ppl are refering to.
compared to history ppl have NEVER been so free. is it total freedom, without restrains and obligations? No. But would you rather go back a few generations and live in feudal servitude again?
no seriously...do ppl retain nothing from history lessons in school?
@@TNM001I agree with you. I don’t believe I specified a time that you’re referring to. But if I understand you correctly, here’s my answer. Yes we are as free as a people ever has been. 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.
If a conspiracy is successful there is no way to tell what the origin of it was. The modern capitalist system we live in today has its foundations in many “conspiracies” where the owners of the capital were simply selfish, opportunistic men, seeking the maximal outcome for their endeavors with a blatant disregard for anything else including but not limited to public health, social dynamics, fair distribution of resources etc. People will always continue to conspire around even the smallest spheres of power, trying to milk it to their advantages and as long as this is the case, conspiracies will never cease to exist. I believe the outrageous conspiracies like the flat earthers and stuff are psyops to scare, discredit and turn people away from research to avoid being called “conspiracists”.
exactly, you don't need a plan or a conspiracy, all you need is people in power to be in the same room planning on how to get richer more powerful. George Carlins words still ring true to this very day. th-cam.com/video/Nyvxt1svxso/w-d-xo.html
Exactly.
The most surprising part how people who fancy themselves "left" at the same time believe what the media and the officials, controlled by the capital, say.
"Oh, no, they would not do such a thing!"
Why? They would do anything to keep and increase their power and wealth. And they do not think that lives of most people have much value. They proved it through thousands of years of human history.
When did they change?
Now they have to hide it better, as people have more porsibility to cooperate in masses.
But their intentions and atitude towards us have not changed.
We do not belive that we should obey somebody due to their blood (like king, nobility), so they figured out other ways to force us to obey, and keep most of the wealth and power to themselves.
So you're kind of saying that many things people see as conspiracy plots to kill everyone, are usually just corruption plain and bog standard corruption to make money? I agree mostly,. bujt I do think there are other agendas at play. That do enter the realm of a conspiracy and a grand plot.
I think the world is shaped like a giant penis this why we are all getting fu
And you've just revealed that anti-capitalist/socialist thinking is literally a conspiracy theory at base.
No, capitalism does not have its foundations in some nebulous conspiracies. It has its foundations in people buying and selling shit - and sometimes being really good at that.
What is interesting is that there are so many real conspiracies that these people don't seem interested in. I think that reveals a lot about their relationship to power and what they actually see as the enemy.
