Russel has spoken

[Whyismyfacealwaysdry]

On Instagram, has anyone seen? What are your thoughts?

Yes, the 'mascara running' testimony from two separate women. Also, how the first two spoke about him 'shoving his penis down their throat' was pretty much EXACTLY how he described it in his stand-up routine. As a viewer, it simply wasn't clear whether Dispatches had obtained the clips to support the testimony... or the other way around.

I suppose the biggest red flag for me was when someone off-camera asks his former PA: 'Do you ever worry that there was a lack of consent from any of the women that he might have been sleeping with?'.
I mean, talk about a loaded question!! This suggested to me there was a very definite agenda and is what made me really question how 'authentic' these testimonies were.

Thanks, I remember Alice the then 16 year old saying it, can you remember who else said it?

Oh dear... another one who have never watched his content!

The facts are in the official stats, report, studies etc that is shown on screen as he is talking alongside the source, ie, The Lancet, BMJ etc.

Best thing to do is take a look and you'll see what I mean.

He had two jabs initially and while he encouraged people then he soon switched when he saw anti vaxx makes money. He makes millions now. I have watched many of his videos and having read the papers too, he absolutely cherry picks and deliberately misinterprets the papers and while telling people that we are not saying.... when he quite clearly is but is trying not to get banned for misinformation. I haven't got time to go over each one but plenty of others have.

It is quite possible to take a quote or statistic out of context from a reputable source, and make it mean whatever you want it to.

The entire anti-vaccine industry is built on using this tactic. I can't speak for his other videos, but ones regarding COVID and vaccines are complete and utter nonsense @Jumpingthruhoops

Scientists - real ones - are concerned about worsening overall health and increased mortality. There are multiple contributing factors which are being robustly evaluated.

They aren't however pinning it on a vaccine that the majority had over two years ago. What he's doing is incredibly irresponsible.

The facts are in the official stats, report, studies etc that is shown on screen as he is talking alongside the source, ie, The Lancet, BMJ etc @Jumpingthruhoops

Do you not find it curious that the scientists and clinicians who prepared these manuscripts do come to the same conclusions as he does? And that tens of thousands of experts worldwide do not believe that offering SARS-COV-2 vaccines to the general population was a mistake?

So , he's being investigated by the police.

Facts need to be presented. They have not been. The people who have established them do not agree or endorse Brand.

He gives you an opinion. Not one fact of his own.

Why not?

Because he knows that his word is not credible. He gathers up those who don't know the difference.

@Jumpingthruhoops

Christ, just taken a glance at the youtube video he released today. Brazen – all guns blazing, 30 mins talking about how he’s being silenced.

I don’t think the stuff he talks about is ‘conspiracy theory’ stuff (ie nonsense paranoia) – the pharmaceutical industry, the relationship between the media and the state, etc., etc. – they’re all topics worthy of discussion and scrutiny. There are obviously plenty of shady parties out there trying to manipulate public discourse and information in the public realm for their own gain – I mean just look at Brexit, or have a read of ‘Bad Pharma’ by Ben Goldacre.

The only thing I’d contest is that his discussing these things explains away the allegations against him – he’s obviously repurposed this as a motive for attacking him.

It’s v weird to watch.

Ben Goldacre is scientific journalist who is credible and advances credible facts to his readers.

Brand is a fact free zone. He never concludes himself. Ever. It's all suggested. That is not credible, it's just entertainment.

Yes, I know who both of those people are, thanks.

It wasn't directed at you, vlo.

I tried to watch Brand's latest video (note he wants people to go to Rumble rather than You Tube, wonder why🤑), but I can't take his rambling delivery. He comes across as slightly unhinged.

I’d go further - it’s not entertainment, it’s brainwashing. The words, mannerisms, presentation - all designed to reel in fools and fantasists and keep the gravy train rolling.

If there was merit or truth in his words, why not subject them to the same scrutiny as documentaries and articles on MSM?

The flat earther, anti-vax, climate change brigade will try to present it as a conspiracy, but the simple truth is that they can’t lie on MSM as easily as on the unregulated social platforms.

It’s not entirely the fault of the audience, of course - science and critical thinking education is woeful. Of course people don’t understand truth - they aren’t taught how to evaluate sources or fact check.

And grifters like Brand exploit them to make millions at the cost of society. Kind of like the lizard people who control our medicine and food from a central point and put up 5G masts to give us all Covid.

That's because he's shitting himself. Any rapist in his position would be.

Agree He looks like deer in the headlights.
He must be shitting himself at the thought of Belmarsh.

It is what happened @Jumpingthruhoops. And he has been grooming his followers since then.

I doubt the conspiracy theorists even believe their own rhetoric; they're only interested in making money. It's exploitative brainwashing, but their audience is willing. They want to feel superior.

Brand obviously had another motive for his platform, such a handy excuse to blame a media attack. He knew this was coming, it's all been a smokescreen.

There’s also a surprising lack of coverage from the conspiracy nuts about the attorney general’s ‘advisory note’ to editors warning them about reporting on Brand. It has no basis in law, of course, but on the face of it, it’s a worrying flex against the free press.

Now, ignoring for a second that it does have no basis in law, why on earth would the ‘establishment’, purportedly hell-bent on discrediting the messianic truth teller, try to silence the press over the rape allegations?

Not very in-keeping with their plan to cancel him, is it?

Or is it a double bluff?

Curiouser and curiouser…

😂😂😂😂😂

Aw, don’t laugh at them. They can’t help being manipulated.

Exactly this. Because the findings would no doubt be detrimental to the objective of getting as many women screened as possible. For both health and financial reasons.

The American woman at the start... Nadia I think was her name.

Are you serious!? Yes, he WAS a heroin addict but, at 20 years clean, don't you think he may have changed, just a tad?

Fair play to you, though. It must be so lovely being whiter than white. 🙄
