With the leftist attack machine going after Russell Brand, the former left-wing actor and comedian who gave it all up to become a significant influencer, by putting out stories about him sexually assaulting women over the years he was on drugs and alcohol while doing his thing for liberal Hollywood, the machine wants to hurt Brand personally before any evidence was even presented.
Until I see hardcore evidence to support the allegations and remember that’s all they are at this point, allegations, I will reserve my judgment until the facts are provided. I believe in innocent until proven guilty. Unfortunately, there are many out there who do not believe the same. We should not believe in the court of public opinion.
Russell Brand is a criminal in their eyes and his crime was getting too close to the truth about Democrats, the mainstream news media, Hollywood, and every other leftist outfit on this side of the giggle house. He has been ranting on his channels about the illegalities of lockdowns, mask mandates, and vaccine mandates, and how the news media lies to its audiences all the time to manipulate the news and is always in favor of left-wing governments that use them as a cudgel to do the dirty work that the government cannot do. Think of it as the recent revelation of the Biden administration using Twitter and other social media platforms to censor free speech.
WATCH:
These leftist forces are attacking Brand for his speech in the same way they have gotten rid of undesirable people over the years; by launching sexual misconduct allegations at the man that supposedly date back years, and the entire misinformation fake news media have already jumped on the bandwagon to assault the man even though none of the stories were ever uttered prior to this moment. In the United States, remember Christine Blasey Ford coming out against now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh for sexual assault allegations from 30 years ago without any evidence to support her claims and none of her friends remember anything of the sort ever happening. The Democrats did that because they feared Kavanaugh on the Court would be the deciding vote that would end their holy sacrament of Roe v Wade.
It could very well be that the allegations against Brand are real and true. It could be that evidence is forthcoming. But until that day comes, it is up to us to treat the situation as Brand is innocent until proven guilty. That doesn’t mean we can’t talk about it. It doesn’t even mean we can’t speculate as to what is true or false about the allegations. But we should confuse that will hand out actionable punishments before any evidence has come forth.
VISIT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELThe video platform YouTube, owned by Google, has demonetized Russell Brand simply because of allegations. That means that YouTube took away Brand’s ability to be paid for his work on his channel(s). They did this without an ounce of evidence, which lends credence to those who believe this whole thing is nothing more than a coordinated attack on a very popular celebrity who is saying things the lefties do not want to be said. The most dangerous thing to communists in governments around the world is an influencer who doesn’t play their songs.
On Wednesday, Rumble.com, the biggest competition to YouTube, received a letter from the UK Parliament, the Culture, Media, and Sport Committee to be exact.
The politicians in England wrote to Chris Pavlovski, the CEO of Rumble, and demanded that the video platform also demonetize Russell Brand.
They wrote:
Dear Chris,
I am writing concerning the serious allegations regarding Russell brand, in the context of his being a content provider on Rumble with more than 1.4 million followers.
The Culture, Media and Sport Committee is raising questions with the broadcasters and production companies who previously employed Mr Brand to examine both the culture of the industry in the past and whether that culture still prevails today.
However, we are also looking at his use of social media, including on rumble where he issued his preemptive response to the accusation made against him by the Sunday Times and Channel Fours dispatches. While we recognize that rumble is not the creator of the content published by Mr Brand, we are concerned that he may be able to profit from his content on the platform.
We would be grateful if you could confirm whether Mr brand is able to monetize his content, including his videos relating to the serious accusations against him. If so, we would like to know whether Rumble intends to join youtube in suspending Mr Brand’s ability to earn money on the platform.
We would also like to know what Rumble is doing to ensure that creators are not able to use the platform to undermine the welfare of victims of inappropriate and potentially illegal behavior.
Yours truly
Dame Caroline Dinenage DBE MP
Chair, Culture, Media and Sport Committee.
The letter is a frightening example of what Marxists in government do to shut down any opposing viewpoints. It was a disgusting attempt to get a private company to punish someone who hasn’t even been officially charged yet with a crime.
The best part of this story is the response that Rumble provided back to the UK committee through X (Twitter):
Today we received an extremely disturbing letter from a committee chair in the UK parliament.
While Rumble obviously deplores sexual assault, rape, and all serious crimes, and believes that both alleged victims and the accused are entitled to a full and serious investigation, it is vital to note that recent allegations against Russell Brand have nothing to do with content on Rumble’s platform.
Just yesterday, YouTube announced that, based solely on these media accusations, it was barring Mr. Brand from monetizing his video content. Rumble stands for very different values. We have devoted ourselves to the vital causeway of defending a free Internet – Meaning an Internet where no one arbitrarily dictates which ideas can or cannot be heard, or which citizens may or may not be entitled to a platform.
We regarded it as deeply inappropriate and dangerous that the UK Parliament would attempt to control who was allowed to speak on our platform or to earn a living from doing so. Singling out an individual and demanding his ban is even more disturbing given the absence of any connection between the allegations and his content on Rumble. We don’t agree with the behavior of many rumble creators, but we refuse to penalize them for actions that have nothing to do with our platform.
Although it may be politically and socially easier for Rumble to join a cancel culture mob, doing so would be a violation of our company’s values and mission. We emphatically reject the UK Parliament’s demands.

I have never been more proud of a social media company for standing up to the communist tyrants who will now try to attack their platform the way they did Parlor.com. Rumble showed what it means to believe in free speech and the right to earn a living even with accusations hanging over one of their user’s heads when the accusations have nothing to do with the content on their platform.
It took a Canadian company to show the American spirit of freedom and capitalism and Rumble just rose to the top of my list of admiration. My only hope is that Fidel Trudeau does not come to the rescue of UK tyrants by punishing Rumble.
There is a war going on around the world. The Marxists have started this war and they have no rules of civility. You are either on the side of freedom and liberty or you are on the side of everyone is a slave to your government.
