Russell Brand Responds to Coordinated Smear Campaign Against Him

back in September media outlets around. the world almost all of them here in the. West in the english- speaking World ran. headlines that shocked a lot of readers. and viewers Russell Brand the movie star. the comedian now the podcaster was a sex. criminal a bad man a sex criminal now. none of the outlets ran the names of the. accusers who had been sexually abused by. Russell bran that was conspicuously. absent but the Judgment was overwhelming. this is a very bad man and he needs to. be taken out of public View for the sake.

of the rest of. us what was interesting about this is. that in fact it was the final scene in a. long movie that had been playing out for. the preceding couple of years outside of. public view this was an attempt to make. Russell Brand shut up Russell Brand has. views that diverge from those of most. western governments on big issues not. small things big issues questions of. economic policy and War and Peace and. they decided we have to make this man be.

quiet why Russell Brand well because in. contrast to a lot of us who give our. opinions for a living Russell Brand had. the capacity to win people over from the. other side he hadn't spent a life. identified with the far right just the. opposite Russell Brand was a man of the. left and to most people a cultural. figure everyone knows who Russell Brand. is and so he had the power the capacity. to persuade and that was the threat so. we thought it'd be interesting to go. through through in some detail what.

happened to Russell Brand none of this. has ever been aired before the. censorship campaign against him began. with governments not private. organizations but governments their. Intel services and their policy makers. and as we said it played out outside. public View and we thought it would be. very interesting and important for. people to know what exactly happened and. so to find out we are now joined by. Russell Brand himself and we're grateful. to be Russell BR thank you so much tuo. thanks for having me here so um I I I. didn't know any I just want to say I. didn't know any of this and I was I.

experienced you because I didn't know. you as a viewer and I remember thinking. boy that is one of the most articulate. critiques of the brand new war in. Ukraine I had ever seen I saw one of. your videos on the war in Ukraine and. this was in the winter of 2022 two years. ago um and you were making kind of a. remarkable case not against the. Ukrainian people and certainly not in. favor of Russia but that there might be. real implications for the West if we get. involved in a war that is not our own. and you you I thought said it so well. what I missed and I'm now seeing is that.

in March of. 2022 you were denounced by an. organization connected directly to the. US government as an agent of Chinese. propaganda for your views on Ukraine so. let me just ask you your experience with. this did you know that you were being. attacked as a Chinese propagandist for. your views on Ukraine I actually didn't. and still at this point struggle in to. see entirely what the connections are. between those two issues and how I would.

develop and C cultivate a strong. Affinity with China I've never been to. China I don't purport to understand. China certainly don't advocate for. Chinese policy of course got relatively. superficial diletant knowledge of. geopolitical ma matters in the South. Asian sees it's not something that I. would like tie my color to the mask for. or be willing to be publicly ashamed. attacked and even jailed. for so um it happened though yeah and a.

lot happens on the internet that we miss. but these in my reading of it is and we. haven't by the way talked about those. offir but my reading of it is that these. were the early seeds of a very deceptive. plant that flowered more than a year. later in September when you were accused. of these crimes um and demonetized and. and censored as a result of that but. looking back so you were um Accused by a. group called kod story you published a. story on its anti- disinformation.

newsletter now Cod story is connected to. the UK government but it's also. connected to the. CIA um how does it make you feel to know. that you were in the crosshairs of two. of the most powerful governments in the. world and they Intel agencies it seems. to me ridiculously grandiose to even. imagine that I would stir and arouse the. interests of such powerful agencies and. groups that the British government if.

indirectly would spend considerable sums. on observing and de amplifying content. that true information shared through our. Platforms in the period of the pandemic. was censored was cited as high risk that. companies like maderna had spent. considerable Revenue tracking our. content and again de amplifying it that. Dame Caroline Dage whose husband is a. scops expert that worked abroad in. terrorism before deploying those methods.

and techniques and to some degree those. teams to observe what they call. disinformation and misinformation in the. UK I recognize that the new emerging. media spaces present a lot of. possibilities even with your kind. compliments about our reporting on the. Ukraine all we've essentially done is. listen to brilliant academics talking. about the history of NATO and the coup. in 2014 in Ukraine and Putin's explicit. declaration that he would prefer let put. it mildly that you Ukraine were not.

invited into NATO the some of the. regional disputes how they're escalating. tensions this is information that. because of Independent Media is. available and perhaps the function that. we our media organization have fulfilled. has been to collate that information and. convey it directly in an accessible. manner to give people an alternative. perspective than to the homogenized. mainstream opinion which amounts to I've. learned over the last few years the. amplification and normalization of the. agenda of the powerful that no opinions.

can be allowed into that space and I'm. astonished by how jealously it is. guarded there are points in my life. where my personal self-regard would have. loved the idea that I'd be considered. important enough to attack on this scale. to spend this amount of Revenue and. resources on but I'm now seeing that. Independent Media itself is an. extraordinary threat The Independent. Media inevitably leads the independent. politics and independent thought and we. appear to be at some precipitate moment.

of radical transition I'm not sure and. I'm not sure if anybody could be sure of. where this is all heading what the exact. teleology is but it seems to be to do. with mass centralization globalization. significant attempts to control the. information space that are so rigorously. adhered to and protected that even what. you might imagine to be a marginal voice. is considered a significant enough. threat to Warrant coordinated media. attacks expenditure on pecul I.

clandestine non-government organizations. and think tanks that take their money. from the military industrial complex. from the Legacy Media who by the way. when they're critiquing Independent. Media they got skin in the game they're. not able to independently assess your. work or my work or the medical opinions. of Joe Rogan they have a vested interest. in destroying those organizations in the. last few years I've learned about the. trusted news initiative which has. extraordinary connections again to Big. farmer and sets of Interest around the. reporting on war that have decided and.

determined that they are no longer. competing with one another you in. particular come from a journalistic. background where it have been common. place for the great institutions of. American Media to compete with one. another for Scoops the New York Times. versus those days are gone it explicitly. states on the trusted news initiative. website we are no longer in competition. with one another we have to Cil and. Stamp Out I think it even uses the word. choke Independent Media and it's clear. that there are now sets of globalist.

organizations funded by government but. also corporations that are making. deliberate profound attempts to shut. down any descent in an astonishingly. aggressive way and to be sort of caught. up in it is uh terrifying on one level. absolutely terrifying particularly due. to the nature of allegations I faced but. also revealing more importantly it's. revealing about the way the way that I. believe the world and in particular this. space will be affect and the way these. events will continue to unfold in the.

coming years what I love about your. critique is that you're coming to all of. this pretty cold since you had a midlife. career change you you're doing something. very different from what you did 15. years ago and I'm wondering if your. assumptions haven't been completely. blown up you're you're a British citizen. lived in the country most of your life. how strange is it to know that your tax. dollars are being used against you by. your government which they are and how. bewildering is it to find that the open. contest of ideas that we were promised. here in the West May the best idea win.

is a sham yes it's a well I suppose I. went into the entertainment industry. really with the giddy trajectory that. propels a lot of people into those. spaces believing that there might be. some fulfillment and certainly there. would be excitement and when I was a. denisen of that world I was fostered and. adored and celebrated and facilitated. and live the kind of Lifestyle which I I. think is kind of common for people in.

that area for single people in my case. drug and alcohol free but certainly with. um an appetite for a promiscuous. lifestyle when I was part of it I found. it empty and unfulfilling of course as. it would be as anyone who's had those. kind of experiences ultimately. realizes when I departed it as a result. really of various spiritual crisis or. commercial failures or a combination of. those events I really felt like a coming. home to the type of values that I grew.

up with I grew up in a normal blue color. Town Grays kind of like a place that's. like New Jersey I guess a kind of. suburban outside of the city normal. people good values kind of place and. what I feel like happened is like since. I've had a family since you know I've. got a young son I've got a couple of. daughters is I felt like that I was able. to deploy the skills learned through. working in entertainment as a man in. recovery. in a new space and what simply began.

with myself and my partners is tell the. truth about things you care about kind. of over time it began to I suppose to. Glen greenw every other day and he goes. you know you shouldn't be surprised that. if you attack the most powerful interest. in the world the Deep State powerful. corporations the Machinery of war that. you yourself are the recipient of. attacks why does that why is that. surprising to you I know but because. sometimes it does feels speculative. doesn't it you're talking about these. really organizations and the way that.

it's funded and the way that it crosses. over and their Mal feent underhanded. Insidious activity and then as it starts. to become more popular as more and more. people realize that it's actually true. as more and more people become willing. to Take Back Control in their own lives. as more and more people refuse to. consent to being treated in this sort of. infantile way having their autonomy and. personal and mental and spiritual. Freedom undermined their connection to. their land undermined their connection. to nature devoided you start to realize.

that you're actually operating in quite. a powerful territory that while power is. very serious and it has to work very. hard to maintain its grip so these. organizations it so did it surprise me. to find that t that the British. government through the department of. culture and media and Sport the very. person the very people that sponsored. the new rather Draconian Online safety. Bill personally contacted uh the height. of these allegations and attacks on me.

that contacted social media platforms. and asked if I would be demonetized but. they're the body that regulates them. they have the ability to find those. organizations they're the very person. who is sponsoring the online security. for second just I understand what you're. saying so these accusations appeared. there were I don't know if this has. changed but at the time there were no. names attached at all you were accused. anonymously of committing crimes and. then your own government which you pay. for yes reached out with without telling. you to online service providers and.

media organizations and said please kick. him off and censor him and take his. money away that's is that what you're. saying before any kind of trial before. any proof that you were guilty before. any names were attached that happened. yeah and it's the same people that are. sponsoring Online safety bills which. amount to facilitating further. censorship what a betrayal by your own. government well it's astonishing if you. regard your government to be in a. position position of service rather than.

a position of domination and control but. what's become apparent in recent years. is what the nature of our relationship. with government is that they are there. to rule and control and dominate and. whilst they may now do it with an. aesthetic of care and with the language. of inclusivity I believe the threat of. authoritarianism is far far greater from. those that use the language of. liberalism than these emergent somewhat. National istically oriented populist.

movements present because they are. leveraging that power now they're. interested in censorship they're. militarizing the police force they're. introducing protest laws they're. introducing censorship laws through. their actions we can observe them. through their fruits can we know them we. can see what they and if you try to. dissent if you try to oppose even what I. consider to be a relatively marginal. scale then the consequences are severe. and immediate and robust and terrifying.

it I I think what makes your specific. case so compelling is that if they could. do it to you a person who had the. admiration of a lot of people who. weren't interested in politics and was. pretty famous and had some means. Etc then the average person stands no. chance against these forces so with that. let if you don't mind can we get. specific about a couple of things that. you mentioned um the first is madna. which is a drug company it's part of big. Pharma tell us how you intersected with. and what you with madna and what you.

think they did to you during the. pandemic period we reported continually. about some of the clinical trials that. madna conducted and whether or not they. ought be deemed sufficiently rigorous to. Warrant the level of measures that were. being implemented if not entirely. mandated we talked about a government. official called Jonathan vanam who was. the public face of the government saying. you know we should be taking vaccines. recommending that the measures escalate.

Jonathan vanam subsequently took a. position at madna we reported on that. people with in the FDA took positions at. madna we reported on that we accurately. reported that both fiser and madna were. making. $1,000 like a second or a minute just. like it we reported a lot we reported. accurately and thoroughly about the. degree to which big farmer were. profiting from a situation in which. Albert bowler explicitly said it would. be inhumane to profit from this Global.

crisis this meant that we were tracked. by agencies employed by madna they had. like us on a highrisk category this is. the reporting of Lee Fang from on his. substack not just me Jay bararia Michael. shellenberger Alex baronson a number of. what you might call anti-pandemic. measures voices or strong critics of the. way that the pandemic unfolded were. under observation from by agencies that. were either funded by a big farmer. sometimes the government and in a sense.

what I've starting to realize toer is. this cartilage between the state and the. corporate world is often provided by. these unusual organizations that are. claiming to be observing disinformation. or monitoring but they're actually. crushing descent that's what they're. doing in practice dissenting voices are. being aggressively crushed by almost any. means necessary that media organizations. are collaborated in a way that is. unprecedented in order to shut down. dissenting voices and it it appears to.

me that this is part of something I. don't know that we've seen anything like. this before so what you're saying is. that these organizations which purport. to be independent are not actually. independent from government they merely. give government the politicians and the. Intel agencies especially some some. plausible deniability some distance what. they're doing is that what you're saying. I'm saying that tuer that seems to be. the function there's a group called. logically and logically have received. millions of pounds of taxpayer money and. what they do is observe dissenting.

voices around in particular covid and. pandemic measures but they are now. working in the United States apparently. in order to regard misinformation around. election campaigning it seems that that. that this group received government. money in order to control online spaces. so if you're worried about the security. of electronic voting machines or. absentee ballots yes are denounced by. these people and censored by them that's. that's precisely how it works and of.

course they employ former FBI uh agents. CIA agents in a way I said suppose what. happened during the pandemic period. because of like the Twitter files for. example we started to learn the degree. to which the Deep state were involved in. the so in social media companies the. degree to which they were censoring and. shutting down information information. that we now know to be true which it was. you know of course you'll be aware that. Mark Zuckerberg said we did censor true. information the category in fact of Mal. information is information that's true. but but harmful to the agenda of.

powerful well it seems like groups like. logically and the public good project. are. specifically empowered to control censor. de amplify information that is harmful. to that. agenda this seems. totalitarian yeah to control what people. are allowed to think is I think that's. the definition of. it what I've started to I suppose that's. what in essence what I've started to.

feel and report on consistently as you. noted at the beginning of this I'm not. someone who's Affiliated organically. with conservatism or what you might. regard as right-wing politics although I. of course recognize the legitimacy of a. whole variety of political views and the. right of people to hold different views. from one another but it seems to me that. authoritarianism now is being. deliberately veiled in a the Insidious. language of care concern safety and. convenience it seems to me that we are.

in a time where we Lurch from one crisis. to another that the crisis is always. used to legitimize certain Solutions and. a docile or terrified public is willing. to participate in the proposed solutions. that usually involve giving up their. freedom we are continually being invited. to give up our freedom in exchange for. safety or convenience and it seems that. this process is radically escalating and. I feel that this is something that we. see yet more of in the coming year I.

feel like you know you've spoken. publicly about this that we're. potentially on the precipice of serious. and to use your term hot a hot war with. Russia and that's being reported on in. my country right now it's like we're. being prepped groomed primed for war is. coming that we're being kept in a state. of constant anxiety in order to induce. compliance that the ongoing stoking of. cultural tension is to ensure that. people don't begin to recognize that. actually we have far more in common with.

one another than we do with these. curious sets of establishment interests. that seem to be Transcendent of national. democracy just to be explicit I'm. talking about organizations like the who. NATO the WF and their astonishing. influence added to that the types of. groups we've discussed already that have. been exposed due to Lee Fang's reporting. these think tanks and apparently. independent organizations who are not. independent when you look at where they. get their money big farmer or the. government or the military industrial. complex or the kind of people they. employ people from Deep St agencies such.

as the FBI and CIA that have. extraordinary Affinity with the Legacy. Media and their ongoing agenda so what I. suppose I'm sensing is that. totalitarianism now will not bear the. inflections or Aesthetics of the 20th. century militarism guys in medals with. mustaches thumping their fists on a desk. will'll be calmly told with by gentleman. with beautifully quered hair or. elegantly speaking ladies that just for.

our safety and just for our convenience. we will be returning to our homes and. anyone that has an audience or a base or. an ability to communicate with people to. disrupt those types of narratives will. be identified and. destroyed well they're certainly uh. they've identified you and they're. trying to destroy you in the most. obvious way in a way that hurts not just. you but your family was there ever a. moment when this happened in September. where you thought you know it's just. kind of not working. to be doing what I'm doing this is so.

painful and so threatening to my family. that maybe I just bow out and stop. talking my son was born with a heart. condition and while this was happening. he was undergoing heart. surgery he he was 12 weeks. old and I suppose what that did Tucker. is it revealed that that what we were. experiencing was a public concoction. I am aware that I put myself in an.

extremely vulnerable position by being. very very promiscuous that is not the. kind of conduct that I endorse and it's. certainly not how I would live now that. I I've been shown a good many things as. a result of these events the value of my. family the value of friendship the value. of being able to speak publicly and I. mentioned my son because throughout it I. saw I was able to maintain what is.

really important in life and as you have. actually said we all know how this. ends attacks like this a crisis like. this hurtful though it is to be accused. of what I consider to be the most. appalling crimes to be accused of this. is very very painful and very hurtful. but I am being shown that there is a. there are consequences for the rather. foolish way that I lived in the past.

though of course again to reiterate due. to the nature of the world we live in of. course I Den deny any allegations of the. kind that have been Advanced but what. I've seen is the significance of family. the importance of having values that are. Transcendent of this the importance of. God it's very easy to talk about God I. talk about God all the time but when you. need God is when the outside world shows. you the the the reality of your. powerlessness this is this can just. happen this can be undone this can be.

unspooled at you and with our boy and to. be in environments as you understandably. and obviously are when you have a sick. child you're in environments with other. people that are in the exact same. position yes and you are shown what is. real and you are shown what is truthful. and you are invited to look at life very. differently so there are many things. that I'm grateful for as a matter of. fact even though it's not a situation. that I welcome and it's a as I say these. are allegations that I object to in the. strongest possible terms the fact that. it happened concurrently while I had the. opportunity to see the strength and. dignity of my wife and the beauty of my.

little son and the reality of the people. that in this world that care for sick. children that perform heart surgery on. tiny babies shows me like oh there look. at all of these realities how can you. live in the Ridiculousness of their. version of events I couldn't have been. more open and public about the way that. I lived when I was younger I was. promiscuous if anyone wanted to have sex. with me i' would have sex with them I. publicly announced it at the beginning. of all shows the idea that that was a. some sort of a smoke green for criminal. conduct is absurd but I recognize now.

that unless you're willing to be a. participant in these systems of. compliance and distraction then you you. pose some kind of evident threat a big. threat a big threat I mean obviously the. response proves the power of the threat. that you posed and still do but again. just to quickly back to my question. because this was so intense and it. happened as your son was born and under. undergoing the surgery did it ever cross. your mind like this I clearly have hit.

the third. rail and I'm out I've seen that happened. a number of times people yes I have and. yes with well-known people and but you. didn't do that and here you are you've. clearly thought about it and you've. decided that you're going to continue. forward was that a hard. decision do you some think there is no. choice you have no choice did you ever. really have yes I do feel that way. strongly there is no choice we have no. choice something strange is happening.

something ulterior is moving something. very important is happening I'm I don't. I'm not propor to be a person that lacks. self-interest I'm not I'm feel fear I. feel anxiety I'm a recovering drug. addict I like you know you know what. that kind of psychological baggage that. comes with but I feel like um what is. the purpose here what are we doing here. I've been shown again I've in a way. lived a pretty amazing life I've like. grew up in a normal background I got. super famous I experienced all of that.

giddiness all of that Hedonism found it. empty and Hollow and have been returned. to a position where people could. actually be connected I actually feel. incredibly optimistic because of things. like the ongoing agricultural protests. around the world the trucker protests. the lengths that people will go to to. criminalize not just an individual like. me but whole movements will be. criminalized as far right as Nazi as r. whatever language is required to. delegitimize the rejection of This.

Global authoritarianism is what will be. deployed so I when I say no I didn't. think for a second about doing anything. different you know I don't think that I. don't think like that and it's not out. of Bravery it's out of it's something. beyond that because I think some you. know some I would like to just be with. my little daughters and my wife and my. son and just live peacefully but I don't. know Tucker it doesn't seem like there's. a choice there isn't a choice there.

isn't a choice but you know even under. those circumstances some choose. cowardice and again I've certainly seen. it quite a bit uh Dage you mentioned a. person called Dage can you explain uh. what you mean by that who this person is. and what role she plays in what has. happened to you when you become. accustomed to dealing with American. politics it's huge sums of money it's. powerful agencies that you see depicted. in Hollywood movies characters played by. great movie stars and so when you return. your gaze to British politics you feel. like you're dealing with some sort of.

drudgery some sort of like some um like. ludicrous Heritage porn who are all. these Dames and baronesses and titled. individuals they can't be doing anything. serious someone called Dame Caroline. Dage who sounds like a down Abby regular. but actually though Dame Caroline Dage. put forward the Online safety Bill she's. married to a dude that does that that. does military scops and now uses those. very scops in this in in with the. domestic population she's the person.

that got in touch with the social media. platforms demanding that I be. demonetized they seem to have an. extraordinary agenda like what the term. can I just ask you something I looked up. because I'm not as familiar with your. politics as I should be yes I looked her. up and um I think what I was so struck. by was that she's a member of the. conservative party right and that. suggested to me that there isn't a. choice in British politics there's. really just one party course yeah. absolutely it's a uni party they're not.

even pretending at this point they're. not really pretending like here's a sort. of an extraordinary thing that appears. to be playing out in addition to just. being casually informed by the Legacy. Media that we're on the precipice of war. with Russia and the conscription might. be reintroduced in. 2024 that there was a part there was a. covid inquiry in our country which by. the way I don't imagine for a second. would have happened without Independent. Media reporting without voices like Jay. bararia who was shut down or voices like. Michael shellenberger or Barson people.

that have been shut down and vilified at. large and extensively the covid inquiry. already cost £145 million it's being. booted off and delayed indefinitely but. at least until after the general. election like many countries there's an. election in our country this year but as. usual it's between two neoliberal what. you might term Centrist parties that are. ultimately dominated and controlled by. the same concerns where an extraordinary. Focus is spent on the tiny minute. differences but it's the party nominally.

of the left is ultimately a centralist. neoliberal party the party nominally of. the right is a neoliberal centralist. party they may quibble about some issues. that seem significant and certainly. those issues are stoked and Amplified. but neither party will say we are going. to have a thorough investigation into. what went on in that pandemic that. clearly was a lab leak it looks like it. was a bioweapon it's been concealed the. people that we entrusted with our. response to that pandemic are likely. explicitly linked to the leak in it in.

the first instance these kind of stories. are never told there are no Legacy Media. organizations that worked in conjunction. with one another to attack me evidently. and by their own Reckoning over a series. of years they are not conducting. investigations into Epstein Island. they're not conducting investigations. into the nature of the pandemic how it. was funded where the money went where it. came from the efficacy of lockdowns. where are these investigations even the. the fabled times of London the fabled.

times of London such garbage it's Aston. so there's nobody in and pardon my. ignorance I'm I'm peering in from the. outside but there there really isn't any. big media organization in your country. it's even trying to answer the question. what was that where' this virus come. from no one's doing that do you know one. of the things I find terrifying about. becoming more educated about this space. Tucker mostly by listening to um more. educated voices than my own is that many. of the things a person might. instinctively feel such as you feel like.

you know yourself forgive my ignorance I. don't know much about British Politics. the but the way that one might inue it. hey should we not be provoking Russia. into a war don't they have nuclear. weapons should we think very carefully. about that I mean how much do we want. Ukraine in NATO and do we even need NATO. anyway the kind of things you might. think if you didn't go to university if. you're a regular blue collar person. working for a living maybe in the police. force or the fire service or as a nurse. or as a teacher something that gives. real value to your nation the kind of. things you might think they're true.

those ideas are true and in order to. prevent you from reaching those ordinary. everyday regulations a machine is put to. constant work to conquer the space of. your attention incessantly and. relentlessly filling your mind with dumb. ideas and dumb distractions making you. believe that some sugar or a screen. might be a convenient paleo as your. children are marched off into an. unwinable Forever War you know like like. you know like the i s we've been. thinking lately before you know like.

with the hoies and stuff like and like. I'm being deliberately glib but it's. like you go from not ever having heard. the word hoofy to being invited to hate. the hoies oh the hoies we got to hate. the hoies now and you like you know just. to move a battleship into that region. think of the taxpayer dollars and it's. not as if the Pentagon are going to be. passing an audit anytime soon and. telling you where this money is actually. going and $2 trillion dollar were spent. on Afghanistan if you think of the. before and after picture of Afghan oh.

well thank God we spent that $2 trillion. because before Afghanistan was and now. Afghanistan is it's very difficult to. fill in those sentences isn't it and. like so what I'm saying is is like your. sort of easy dismissiveness of what. British politics amounts to is probably. right two corrupt parties pursuing the. same ultimate end keep people tyrannized. keep people distracted keep them turned. on one another over minor issues that. will not ultimately affect their lives. of the lives of their children so that. the agenda of the powerful can be.

pursued without opposition War the. economy public health food supply safy. water supply I mean these are the energy. these are the things that matter and. they're the things that are are never. discussed openly ever why can't we have. conversations about that like with the. the global farming protest is not. accurately reported on when it is it's. reported on with a particular accent and. with the always with the insinuation. Farmers have suddenly moved their. attention from the raising of crops to.

racism now the farming's more of a hobby. I got to return to my true love that's. having strong views about varying. ethnicity there's no question that arise. in um nationalism is an understandable. response to rampant globalism but the. ongoing sort of finger pointing and. condemnation of ordinary people I. identify with I recognize it because I. grew up in those communities. professional met Metropolitan people. don't like workingclass people don't.

like Ordinary People and now they've. found a way to legitimize their hatred. oh they're all disgusting they're all. racist look at them in their Maga hats. look at them with their white Vans and. their flags look at them with their. perspectives with their unearned views. and their belches and their beer it's a. kind of legitimization of a loathing of. the people that are most connected to. the nation people that generally. speaking a couple of generations ago. were asked sacrific the lives of their. sons and daughters for the for the idea.

of nation an idea that they're now being. told doesn't exist for me what we need. to see is an emergence of a different. type of populism that transcends the. boundaries of left and right these. things are happening organically and. naturally anyway and what I think is. happening is perhaps it's odd isn't it. because the internet is ultimately a. creation of the military clearly they. didn't accurately understand that whilst. it was going to be a brilliant means for. control and clearly that's one of the. wars that's being fought now it is also. a tool for inform and Awakening and I. think that we're at this Crux point.

which way is it going to go are people. going to wake up to the reality that we. are being confronted with or are we. going to sort of nervously cling on to. the idea that somehow through comfort. and panaceas we might hold on to some. old life increasingly I think is over I. watched some of that speech you did in. uh Ottawa or wherever you were in. Edmonton Canada and two of the things I. thought were important is knowing that. you are not God you are not God you are. it's not about you you have to have some.

purpose in your life and secondly people. must relearn a connection to their land. our connection to our lands has been. broken now many countries particularly. in a postc colonial world have complex. relationships with their land sometimes. that is a a relationship with a land. that had inhabitants prior to the our. our arrival or the arrival at least of. settlers in your country for example or. in Canada that you were describing. outlining but we are divorced from. nature we are divorced from our lands we. are divorced from one another and and we.

are fed such an empty Hollow vapid fatic. diet of lies and I you said at one point. oh you should you know this is this vast. country you could all have six acres. each yes and I felt like are the crowd. responding to that people are frightened. of the people of Britain or the people. of America or the people of Canada or. Australia or the people all over the. world for surely those farmer protests. are happening in Sri Lanka they're. happening in India they're not just. happening in Europe or anglophonic. countries they're happening everywhere. they're happening everywhere and I feel.

that what's that's precisely the. direction we need to return to. sovereignty of the individual. sovereignty and sanctity of the. connection between people and their land. maximum amount of power in your own life. and the life of your community and and. your loved ones not this transition of. power to increasingly centralized forces. and this infantilization and. neutralization and castration of. individual and familial power can I ask. you you a question that you may be able. to answer that I've been meditating I'll.

give it a go Tucker I'll tell you that. well you're just uniquely positioned to. answer because you've seen both sides. but um so the things that the people in. charge hate include nature yes and the. class of people who are most useful to. your nation you describe them cops. firemen teachers nurses all of them were. crushed during covid by the way yes um. and farmers and it's indisputable that. if you don't have those people you don't. have a society you could get rid of. everything tank and every sociology. department and every liberal arts. university and probably be okay you get.

rid of your Farmery you starve to death. so it's not obvious why the leadership. of a country would hate the very people. they need most and hate the most. beautiful and valuable thing they have. which is nature why do they hate those. things it terrifies me to contemplate. Tucker that people like Alex Jones and. in our country David Ike who aside from. some views that are impossible to. corroborate around quite occultist and. shall we call them marginal ideas.

difficult to corroborate ideas when it. comes to the subject of globalization. and the increasing authoritarian isation. of our planet appear to have been ahead. of the curve you can see them 20 30. years ago saying the empowerment of NATO. the empowerment of world Banks and the. wh like this it's. extraordinary and it seems to me that. the disempowerment of Ordinary People. the condemnation the demoralization of.

the public to create people that just. are weary and broken and is if not. enslaved then so dependent it amounts to. a form of slavery cannot be. inadvertent it seems to be a denial of. something fundamental that I in my. language I would call Spirit the the. right to be who you are that there isn't. something fundamentally ugly or wrong. with you that you are allowed to be who. you are and I see that as a universal.

principle that will be applied all the. way from the left to the right across. various ways that people claim their. individual identity now it seems to me. that yes that if you start to attack. those pivotal infrastructural roles I'm. struck when speaking some of the people. that you work with man that you know um. that's been a cop for 26 years in New. Jersey 35 years in the security first. services like these are people that give. their lives for a country so to tell. those people that your country doesn't. mean anything or to alter the meaning of. what a nation is or alter what your.

contribution has been it seems to be. about a kind of disorientation and it's. difficult actually sometimes the reason. I mentioned at the beginning of this. rather chroming answer figures that are. broadly condemned as conspiracy theorist. but then aren't we all these days the. reason I mentioned them is because they. talk specifically about ideas to do with. spirituality morality and ethics and. it's hard for someone like me to. consider that the goals of this Global. establishment are anything other than. Power Finance Dominion but when you talk.

about this loathing of nature whether. that's human nature or botony or the. great expense it's difficult to think. that there isn't something dark yes that. is. core because there's no rational. explanation for that how could you want. to despoil Nature how could you hate. human nature how could you want to hurt. people there those are not rational. responses to anything I mean there's got. to be I mean. clearly what we're watching are the.

fruits of spiritual war I if you could. give a better explanation let me know. certainly the solution seems to me to be. spiritual and even when they're talking. about ecology and evoking words like. Gaia like the spirit of the planet it. seems oddly utilitarian the Earth is a. resource even when claiming to care. about the types of energy industry that. might be most beneficial and those which. might not be as beneficial I don't see. reverence I don't see an acknowledgment. of the sacredness of the earth that the.

that the Earth is not a resource it's. not you know obviously the left and. right are classically almost at this. point divided around the subject of. climate change and what I feel is who. who Among Us ought not love our planet. and behave respectfully and. reverentially and lovingly to our planet. and how is that going to happen if no. one has a relationship with it I think. like 90% of in my country 90% of the. land is inaccessible to most people 90%. of the land is privately owned like land.

that used to be commonly held is now all. privately owned there has been. successive law after successive law that. has moved power and control and the land. and nature herself into the hands of an. elite and it's this I suppose even where. it would have been risible you're. getting back to feudalism yeah what. you're saying let's get back to good old. Feud what was wrong with. feudalism why were we making such a fuss. about it it's the idea that you and I. are people that operate on different. sides of a political Spectrum becomes. exposed as ridiculous when the.

anti-authoritarian aspect of what we. both clearly believe in has to become. the clear and pivotal Point around which. all political views have to now start to. coales you you are either going to. oppose what's happening when it comes to. globalization and centralized. authoritarianism or you are going to be. crushed by individually and. collectively how do you see and I I'll. stop with this um comp question how is. how are your family and friends holding. up in the face of this assault on you.

and your family and how do you see this. playing out the battle that you just. described are you hopeful or no you know. like I because I've been subject to. personal attacks it's very one thing. like I have a program of recovery I've. been in recovery for 21 years it's in a. sense it's what enshrines and helps me. practice my relationship with God is the. most important thing to me the thing I. have to most be obser erant of and have. to keenly avoid is is descent into. self-centeredness when you when I am.

very frightened it's very easy for me to. drift into becoming quite myopic and. insula what I've observed like in this. period from a personal perspective is. that um like I'm incredibly fortunate. I've got an amazing wife I've got. amazing beautiful children that are. healthy and doing well I've got. incredible people that I work with like. oh my God and another thing that's been. amazing is like for a month publicly. continually I was like you know called. the worst names you can call a man and.

then I'd go out in public and people. like. Russell we support you we support you. and like like one time I was wearing. like sort of like a family with all. their daughters that were aged between. like sort of 15 and 19 how can you do. photos I was thinking if there were one. group that would be negatively affected. by what's just been publicly said about. me it would be the parents of teenage. kids and like people aren't people. aren't buying it people aren't buying it. that's the problem people are waking up. people start think well what Jesus Is. there going to be a better example than.

the your former and perhaps future. president the more they hate him the. more people like him the more people. like him because what they know is they. don't trust the establishment anymore. they cannot trust the establishment. anymore it speaking from the perspective. look this isn't the first time I've. known personal crisis I'm a drug acting. recovery I'm a product of a single. parent family I come from I'm a normal. person from a nor from a normal. background but what I would say is that. in a sense a crisis becomes an. invitation a catastrophe is an.

invitation and it seems like whether. you're on the left or right everyone. believes catastrophe is coming and it. will be an invitation it will be an. invitation because if what we're being. offered is a slow grind into endless war. and more and more authoritarianism and. more and more control of our personal. lives and our ability ability to worship. our ability to affiliate our ability to. pray if what's being if we what we're. being invited to accept is the. colonization of the self of our ability. to think freely then what have we got to.

lose when all they're offering us is. more war endless pandemics that are. being legislatively enshrined even now. through the who treaty what have we. actually got to lose I think in a sense. that in perhaps they are you know if. there is one God one all powerful God. then surely that God is at work now and. surely that God is creating the perfect. conditions for our mutual Awakening and. perhaps what's IR ired is the spur the. ignition of something so unbearable that.

people will awaken rather than endure it. rather than endure it any further and. perhaps that's what we're being offered. now yes of course it seems like we're on. the precipice of catastrophe. geopolitically and from various. potential Health pandemics but also it. seems to me like a potential offering to. awaken and I don't think we have any. choice other than to see it that way. Russell bran you have not been broken. you are at your very best your very best. I really appreciate it thank you thanks.

Tako free speech is bigger than any one. person or any one organization societies. are defined by what they will not permit. what we're watching is the total. inversion of. virtue.
