If the breakdown that Kim Iversen did on the Brand allegations are correct, this is a total set up. Russell has been over the target for the last couple of years and now he's taking on enemy fire. I really hope he can get through this and be able to continue exposing corruption and lies.

I was actually surprised he never really seemed to suffer any serious blowback for the contents of his show in recent years.

And let's not forget Andrew Tate has been recorded how he "broke" one of the women doing sex work for him.

What a disgusting piece of shit.

God, I didn't know that. My dislike of him is instinctual.

God.

Yeah I saw the video posted by what seemed to be an "anti-Tate activist" on Twitter when Tucker Carlson interviewed him. Endlessly degrading. Made me feel really bad about this world, where people like him have a voice and not just that, but also an army of followers who worship him. Just sad.

Haven't watched a single Tucker Carlson segment since.

I do not like it either. It is clearly a deliberate effort to silence him. So what is the MSM and the govt. afraid of? I am glad to see so many people standing up for Brand!

Brand is an agent, as is Tate.

We pay too much attention to the MSM. They are a spent force. They’re done. CNN last weekend peak hour in the 25-54 year age group was 54,000. Meanwhile Mike Tyson has 40 million followers. Tucker will get 100 million views. The MSM gets through to the elderly. That is all.

Jo, unfortunately your thoughts got hijacked by folks who disagree with your positions on climate change and veganism. You and I DON'T agree on veganism but.......I support your position on this hypocrisy 100%. Not that you need my seal of approval (-: It is beyond outrageous and so transparent what's being done to Russell Brand. Trial and conviction by media. Glen Greenwald had a great statement on this. I'm encouraged to see all the pushback from "mainstream" outlets, recognizing the very slippery slope we're going down with this persecution of Brand. Time will tell whether they can get away with it. I fear they may.

🙏🏽They are already getting away with it with Assange. I fear that they may with Brand too.

Yes! Assange is the most glaring example. But their are so many others. Snowden, Kiriakou etc. And the worst thing is that this action against Brand will scare others not to speak out. Journalists know it. And most won't risk their livelihoods to speak truth to power. That's the real damage. My hope though is that some will stay the course. And thank god for Substack. More people need to be here. This is one of our greatest hopes for truth to be told.

Yes, but it's not a disaster. Keep reading wattsupwiththat. The government will gain control through its restrictions and the corporations oodles of money and the elite will soon have the beaches and vistas to themselves.
