Russell Brand's 'digital death penalty' is a warning to all who speak against the accepted narrative



By now, most know that charismatic British comedian, actor, and activist Russell Brand has been #MeToo’d. The entire ordeal is shady, as it seems the victims came forward with allegations of sexual misconduct only after Channel 4 News approached them hoping to make a documentary, which they did.

Currently, Brand has not been officially charged with anything, and yet, he has been demonetized by YouTube, dropped by his talent agency, and abandoned by his publisher.

Rumble was also pressured to deplatform Brand, but Rumble refused, and now it seems Parliament is not only going after Brand but Rumble as well.

“To say that a guy who just has allegations against him should not be able to make a living ... [is] psychotic,” Dave Rubin tells Carl Benjamin.

“That’s literally against the Magna Carta; that's against the very spirit and principle of common law,” says Carl.

And while Carl and Dave both acknowledge that we can’t yet confirm Brand’s guilt or innocence, the point is, deplatforming him is wrong.

Whether he's innocent or guilty is “a moot point,” says Dave.

“Exactly,” agrees Carl. “If he's found guilty, there will be a punishment prescribed under the law,” but “that still doesn't mean he should have his livelihood taken away from him.”

If someone does “something wrong, then we have a law that prescribes what the punishment for that wrongdoing is, and that's as far as it goes. ... We don't ruin them,” he continues.

Which is exactly what’s happening to Brand — government and media are essentially prescribing him a “digital death penalty,” even before conviction.

“If you take out millions of people who can't participate in society, like, what do they think is going to happen?” asks Dave.

“They’re definitely going for total control,” says Carl. “It’s definitely about asserting a kind of internet-wide dominance so they are the ones who have the authority to say yes or no; which is totally alien to the sort of English-speaking experience ... because we're used to there being a strong division between the state and society.”

“There is clearly some kind of international network of power that is left wing, and it wants to have complete managerial control of the society down to everything that you do,” Carl explains.

Guilty until proven innocent? UK Parliament TARGETS Russell Brand’s Rumble & TikTok



Condemnation before investigation is becoming all too common in the internet age, and Russell Brand has just become the latest example.

Several women have come forward to accuse the comedian of sexual abuse, and prior to any real investigation, the censorship police are already taking action.

Members of the United Kingdom Parliament have reportedly been sending a letter to social media platforms like TikTok and Rumble, saying they’re concerned that Brand could be profiting off of the platforms.

“I’m writing concerning the serious allegations regarding Russell Brand, in the context as a user with more than 2.2 million followers on the platform,” the letter reads.

“While we recognize that TikTok is not the creator of the content published by Mr. Brand, and his content may be within the Community Guidelines set out by the platform, we are concerned that he may be able to profit from his content on the platform,” the letter continues, noting that Brand has engaged in “potentially illegal behavior.”

“I have a big problem with this,” Sara Gonzales says. “You can get accused of something, and the British government is going to pressure a company, an independent company, to stop paying you.”

“What world am I living in right now?” she asks.

Host of "The Liz Wheeler Show," Liz Wheeler, agrees.

“I can tell you right off the bat that if allegations come from anonymous sources, and they aren’t coming through police, and they’re coming 15 years later through a news organization — I’m not sure that we should give them credibility,” Wheeler tells Gonzales.

“As an accused, you have to have the right to defend yourself, and you can’t defend yourself unless you know who your accuser is,” she continues.

Wheeler also notes that as a Hollywood celebrity, Brand likely did engage in degenerate behavior — but that doesn’t mean he’s guilty of rape.

“The fact that this isn’t a criminal accusation, the fact that this is a news report obviously intended to smear his character,” she continues, “that should awaken everyone to the implications of what this means for our husbands and our brothers and our sons if an accusation can cause social ostracization.”

Russell Brand ACCUSED of 'grossly, terribly mistreating women' — but is he a predator or a target?



British actor, comedian, and podcaster Russell Brand has joined the “long list of rich and powerful men to be accused of ... grossly, terribly mistreating women,” Lauren Chen reports.

Brand recently posted a video to his account in which he said: “Amidst this litany of astonishing, rather baroque attacks are some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute.”

Brand has historically been open about his past in an effort to be transparent with his audience. However, he says that his “transparency metastasized into something criminal,” which “makes [him] question" whether there is "another agenda” at play.

According to the New York Post, Brand has been accused of “raping, sexually assaulting and abusing four women over the course of seven years–and one victim of a 16-year-old he called ‘the child.”’

“It's safe to say that the allegations against Russell Brand are about as serious as they come,” says Lauren. “This is some Harvey Weinstein-level stuff here.”

However, Brand has “denied these allegations very fiercely.”

Lauren, who watched Channel 4’s 90-minute exposé on Brand and read practically every article on the subject, says that she’s “not out here trying to support an abuser in any way, shape, or form,” but the truth is “there just isn't enough evidence out there right now ... to condemn this man as a rapist.”

“I am against abuse; I am against assault; I am against doing anything to someone against their will,” she promises, but “that doesn't mean that I have to throw away the presumption of innocence or the concept of due process.”

“The fact of the matter is that right now, the allegations against him are basically just hearsay,” she says.

Brand, Chen, and many others wonder whether there may be foul play involved with this sudden onslaught of allegations.

“I know I'm likely to be dismissed as a conspiracy theorist,” says Lauren, “but really, we have to wonder why these media outlets took it upon themselves to try to dig up all this dirt on Russell Brand in the first place. Because, make no mistake, the articles about Russell Brand [and] this whole documentary by Channel 4 — they are the product of journalists not liking someone and therefore deciding to dig into their lives to see what type of dirt they might find.”

What’s more is that an NBC News article confirms that this is true.

The article stated that “the women said that they only felt ready to tell their stories after being approached by reporters, with some citing Brand’s newfound prominence as an online wellness influencer as a factor in their decision to speak.”

“Like, this was a coordinated and malicious attack to take Russell Brand down,” says Lauren, “and if you're wondering why they might do that, then I'm gonna assume you haven't been paying attention to Russell Brand’s content.”

For those who don’t watch Brand, he has become increasingly outspoken when it comes to “the elites’ agenda” and “attacking our political class, ... specifically ripping into Big Pharma.”

“Let's face it — these are powerful people that Brand is attacking,” says Lauren, “people [who] have a means of retribution.”

While many have been quick to immediately believe corporate media’s narrative, others — including Tucker Carlson, Andrew Tate, and Elon Musk — have come out in support of Brand.

In response to the news about Brand, Tucker tweeted: “Criticize the drug companies, question the war in Ukraine, and you can be pretty sure this is going to happen.”

Tate tagged Brand in a tweet that said, “Welcome to the club,” alongside a picture of an armored knight next to the caption “On my way to fight the crazy b**** allegations.”

Musk posted a simple tweet that just said: “Of course. They don’t like competition.”

“All I'm saying is that, since I consider myself to be a rational and fair person, it's going to take a lot more than anonymous sources and ‘he said, she said’ for me to essentially believe the worst about someone,” concludes Lauren.
