Rebutting Russell Brand

 Russell Brand has presented himself as being a socialist, despite being a hoarder of wealth who, by his own definitions, uses that wealth to support the victimization of Palestinians! He has cast his lot in with propagandists and liars while accusing Western media of doing exactly that! And now, while claiming to be anti-war and anti-imperialist, he provides excuses for an authoritarian dictator who has embarked on a genocidal and imperialist war! So, what is up with Russell Brand’s Topsy-Turvy world?

PART THREE - Lie Hard, With a Vengeance! In which we explore the nature of the report from the WHO panel on lessons from COVID, its chairman - Jeffery Sachs, his motives, and his thoughts on a US laboratory leak

Photo has been shamelessly censored!!! I just want to say how much I am starting to admire Radio Free Humanity - the Marxist Humanist Podcast.

As I publish this post, news continues to break about possible war crimes by Russian troops in areas around Kyiv – including Bucha – and Russell just posted a video on Stand with Ukraine titled “Oh, So it’s Just Bullsh*t”. ] The causes of war in Ukraine are complex right? And are motivated by a desire to control resources and the profits of western corporations, right? But can we really trust the motives of religious extremists who are boostin’ for Putin? Welcome! You 5.2 million awakening souls. All of us together, traveling on an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet, orbiting a small unregarded yellow sun, far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable en...

 My Sh*t Take on Russell’s Sh*t Take on Congressional War Profiteering Originally posted to Reddit  Saturday 19th March 2022 Ok, so this is pretty much something I already posted in reply to someone else asking what I thought about Russell’s video of March 18th “You couldn’t make this sh*t up”, about war profiteering by members of US congress. I thought I’d share as a new post, just to bask in your approbation and opprobrium. Russell’s sources:  [Benzinga](https://www.benzinga.com/amp/content/26063227) [Business Insider](https://africa.businessinsider.com/politics/american-made-javelin-and-stinger-missiles-are-heading-to-ukraine-at-least-18-members/fvp7k4z.amp) [Prospect](https://prospect.org/power/another-possible-congressional-stock-trading-loophole/) [The Intercept](https://theintercept.com/2022/03/10/ukraine-russia-nato-weapons/) Original (kinda) post as follows: Not his shittest take, but still up to his old shenanigans. 1. Why not post links to the sources in the de...

Maybe the answer is to do nothing at all… Hello you 5.1 million blossoming onions, grass-fed organic trolls, and yoga adjacent wine aunts! Just a reminder that Russell does have a live tour planned for the UK. COVID numbers are on the rise again, so the maskless group hug is at your own risk. You can find details of the venues on Russell’s website so feel free to write to them asking for their position on the Ukraine crisis and if it is compatible with hosting a Putin apologist like Russell Brand. Apologies, this is a long one, but here we go!  On the 13th of March Russell released a video of himself reading an article by Julia Rock and David Sirota on Sirota’s new-media news site, the Daily Poster. David Sirota is a journalist, former Bernie speechwriter, and the Oscar-nominated creator of the recent Netflix hit satire about CO...

I have removed the original text of this post from Blogger as it may, inadvertently, contravene Google policies on dismissing the war on Ukraine. To be clear, these are policies that I support. The original post was a parody and is still visible on Reddit at the link at the bottom of this post.
