How do we do that Simpsons bit here? “In Soviet America, whore stones you” isn’t funny and is insulting to the Soviet Union.

The thing about this is: they are saying one of these angry women was 16 when Russell Brand dated her in his thirties. That was 15 years ago, meaning that 16-year-old is now a used up old granny no man on earth has any interest in, while Brand could cruise through a high school parking lot and have 16-year-old girls crowding into his SUV like Chinamen crowding into a 7 AM train.

Can you see why women get mad? 

Can you see why they would want revenge?

RT:

The actor and comedian Russell Brand is under investigation by a second UK police force amid new allegations of “harassment and stalking,” numerous UK media sources reported on Monday.

Brand, 48, who is being investigated by London’s Metropolitan Police following the publication two weeks ago of an array of sexual-abuse allegations by The Times, the Sunday Times and broadcaster Channel 4, is also the subject of a separate probe by the Thames Valley police, several media sources, including The Guardian and the BBC, said.

Brand has denied all allegations made against him.

“Thames Valley Police in the past two weeks received new information in relation to the harassment and stalking allegations dating back to 2018,” the police force said in a statement without directly naming Brand. “This information is being investigated. As such, it would be inappropriate to comment on an ongoing investigation.” 

Thames Valley Police is the force that operates in the Henley-On-Thames region of Oxfordshire, where Brand resides and where he also owns a pub. The entertainer didn’t immediately comment on the new allegations when contacted by the BBC.

The unnamed woman at the center of the new claims had reported her allegations to Thames Valley Police on multiple occasions between 2018 and 2022, the BBC said, but the police declined to take further action. Brand had accused the woman of harassment in 2017, the outlet also said.

Last week, the Metropolitan Police confirmed that it had opened an investigation into allegations of sexual offenses by Brand in London, as well as “elsewhere in the country.” Dates given for the alleged offenses are not recent, the force added.

So, Brand’s show started up again last Monday (a week ago today). I was gonna go out and celebrate this then, but then I decided to let it stew for a week.

The background and format of his show totally changed:

It’s almost as if he… moved to another country. 

It’s almost as if, finally, after all of these years, one person took my advice.

Companies Start Pulling Ads from Rumble Over Refusal to Demonetize Russell Brand https://www.anglinarchive.com/2023/09/24/companies-start-pulling-ads-from-rumble-over-refusal-to-demonetize-russell-brand/ Sun, 24 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Well.

This was predictable.

The Guardian:

A number of large companies have pulled their advertisements from the video platform Rumble, where Russell Brand broadcasts his weekly show, in the week since allegations of rape and sexual assault against the comedian came to light.

The News Movement reported on Friday that Burger King, Asos, the Barbican and HelloFresh, the recipe box delivery service, had removed their ads. Brand has 1.4m followers on the platform. YouTube suspended Brand’s ability to earn money on its platform on Tuesday but Rumble has rejected calls to do the same. On Friday, Brand said the moves to block him from receiving advertising revenue for his videos on social media platforms have occurred “in the context of the online safety bill”.

I haven’t looked into it yet, but this “online safety bill” looks very, very bad

On Thursday, Rumble accused a parliamentary committee of “deeply inappropriate” behaviour after Caroline Dinenage, the Conservative chair of the culture, media and sport committee, wrote a letter to the company’s chief executive, Chris Pavlovski, to express concern that Brand “may be able to profit from his content on the platform”.

In a public statement posted on X, Rumble called the letter “disturbing” and said parliament’s demands were “deeply inappropriate and dangerous”. The platform added that it was devoted to 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”.

Rumble added: “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.”


Rumble’s response

Last weekend, Brand was accused of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse between 2006 and 2013 after a joint investigation by the Sunday Times, the Times and Channel 4 Dispatches. He denies the allegations.

On Friday, Brand made his first public comments since the allegations were made public in a new video he posted online. In the three-minute video posted on YouTube, Rumble and X, he described them as “extraordinary and distressing” and accused the government of seeking to censor him.

Burger King told the News Movement it had paused all advertising while investigations into the allegations were ongoing. Asos said it had manually removed its ads from Rumble. Barbican said it had asked its media agency to exclude the site from where its ads appear.

The Times estimates that Brand earns £27,000 a month from his Rumble channel and £1m a year from YouTube before ads were suspended. His literary agent, tour promoter and book publisher have also dropped him.

So, just to be clear:

  • Russell Brand was accused of raping his own girlfriends 10-20 years ago.
  • (No pause)
  • Police announce an investigation.
  • The UK parliament (and the Prime Minister’s spokesman!!) start issuing all these statements.
  • The UK government demanded that all tech companies stop his funding.
  • The media demanded that advertisers boycott the companies that won’t stop his funding.

This all happened in a period of hours, rather than weeks.

You remember with Weinstein, it was like, they release this article, they start doing interviews with the women, there is all this media coverage for weeks on end drumming up public outrage, he eventually resigns, then after months, the cops start saying they’re looking into something to charge him with. Eventually, he’s charged.

With Russell Brand, it is just bing-bang-boom – you’re out.

This idea of cutting someone’s money because he was accused of something totally unrelated to his work in a media article is totally new. I thought I had seen every possible weird form of censorship, but this is new. It’s almost like someone sat down and said “okay, let’s drum up some new weird storyline for censorship.”

The fact that they immediately go to deplatform him over this rape hoax proves that the rape hoax is political, doesn’t it? I mean – right? 

How is Google able to determine that Russell Brand committed felonies? Where is the court? I don’t think the court would be fair, but YouTube is saying “this violates our off-platform behavior rules.” It’s against off-platform behavior rules (which is itself an insane concept) to be accused of something by anonymous people?

He’s back on Rumble tomorrow. I assume he’ll do the whole show about this issue.

 

It’s likely that this is how they’re going to go for the Rumble app on the iPhone app store – “you didn’t ban that guy that got accused of doing something decades ago – this is totally unacceptable behavior for a trust-building environment.”

What the Hell is Wrong with YouTube? https://www.anglinarchive.com/2023/09/24/what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-youtube/ Sun, 24 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0000

YouTube needs to stop worrying about Russell Brand putting his penis in a 16-year-old girl’s mouth and start worrying about their algorithm.

I was watching a video on YouTube about how YouTube is very concerned about Russell Brand putting his penis in a 16-year-old girl’s mouth, and after the video finished, this started up:

That’s right: the YouTube algorithm said: “Oh, you’re interested in YouTube’s concern about Russell Brand putting his penis in a 16-year-old girl’s mouth? I’ll bet you’d really enjoy a 2018 interview with Jamie Dimon conducted by famed economic wizard Jim Cramer!”

Your shit is broke, broke ass.

It’s time to wise up and get your priorities straight.

You totally broke your algorithm with censorship and now the site is totally worthless unless you know the exact video you want to watch. The music algorithm is also on a three song loop now.

Believe it or not, YouTube, I am not concerned about Russell Brand putting his penis in a 16-year-old girl’s mouth, but your concern about it concerns me.

You need to deal with your own problems, YouTube, and stop going around telling people whose mouths they should put their penises in.

Protip, you old hags: no one wants to put their penis in a 25-year-old used-up skank’s mouth.

Just a tip.

Give up on that. It’s not happening.

Instead, you need to wrap your donkey lips around the penis of successful products.

Stop thinking about penises and mouths and think about delivering a quality product to the consumer.

Previously: Rumble Refuses to Demonetize Russell Brand Following UK Government’s Letter

Russell is still in the game.

He’s a fighter…!

He released a second video commenting on this rape hoax bullshit, and pointed out that it’s the UK (Unhinged Kunts) government behind all of the censorship. Rumble said that the UK government told them to censor Brand, so we know that is where this is coming from. (It’s otherwise bizarre they wouldn’t wait for the charges.)

What kind of a thing is that even? Why would the government be calling for someone to be censored when they’re accused of a supposed crime they haven’t even been charged with? I don’t even know if there is precedent for any government ever doing this.

Brand stopped doing his show on Rumble after the allegations. I don’t know why he did that – unless he was in the process of packing his shit to move to Russia. By the way, I don’t think he’s been seen in public in the last week, so he may well have taken my advice.

I sure hope he took my advice, because otherwise, he’s going to prison forever. There is zero chance that a Western jury won’t convict him when they’ve got this “shoved his penis down the throat of a small child” line they’ve been using. In another country, the jury would move to fist-bump. But the West is sooooo gay. So very gay. And it’s all women. Our countries are run by women.

By the way, the woman who did this “journalistic” witch-hunt against Brand at the Times is a straight-up beast.

She wonders why men aren’t interested – she needs to start looking for zoo-keepers to date.

She needs to find the Beast Master.

I don’t think the Beast Master is going to be interested in her sexually, but he might be able to tame her.

This is what you find when you look into anything. You can talk all you want about “da Joooos,” but when it comes down to it, our society is controlled by old, fat women who are doing a revenge fantasy against men with status.

I have status, because I’m famous and very handsome, and also the greatest writer of a generation. Women want to tear me down. Women want to promote trannies and fatties and other disgusting freaks to replace naturally high status men as their revenge.

They’ve already made it so the highest status men in society are trannies. They are the men with all the power. Trannies and, to a less extent, brown people. They have inverted the pyramid.

Remember: it’s not cute teenage girls doing this. It’s old beasts.

We don’t have a woman problem. If the only women on the market were cute teenage girls – as would be natural – and every older woman was married and taking care of kids and grandkids, we’d be living in a paradise.

The end of young marriage (for women) was the end of civilization.

Rumble are the only niggas in these tubes keeping it real.

Seriously – it’s the only platform that follows 2016 rules on censorship.

And now they’re following 2018 rules on rape hoaxes.

True bros.

The Guardian:

Rumble, a video-sharing platform used by Russell Brand, has accused a parliamentary committee of “deeply inappropriate” behaviour after it asked whether the site would suspend payments to the comedian.

Caroline Dinenage, the Conservative chair of the culture, media and sport committee, wrote this week to Rumble’s chief executive, Chris Pavlovski, to express concern that Brand “may be able to profit from his content on the platform”.

Rumble posted its response on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, claiming that it was “deeply inappropriate and dangerous” of parliament to “attempt to control who is allowed to speak on our platform or to earn a living from doing so”.

There is obviously a threat inside of the demand.

Like always.

Probably, a platform like Rumble can’t really exist very much longer. They will either crack or be cracked.

But it’s nice for now.

Dinenage wrote to Rumble after YouTube announced on Tuesday that Brand would no longer receive advertising revenues from his videos.

Dinenage asked whether Brand was able to make money from his videos on Rumble, including his denials of accusations against him, and if so, whether the platform would follow YouTube’s lead.

“We would like to know whether Rumble intends to join YouTube in suspending Mr Brand’s ability to earn money on the platform,” Dinenage wrote. The MP also asked what Rumble was doing to ensure that content creators did not use the platform to undermine the welfare of victims of “inappropriate and potentially illegal behaviour”.

Brand is apparently not planning on fleeing the country, and is instead choosing to go to prison forever.

It’s a shame, but hey – he can’t say I didn’t warn him.

Allegations against Russell Brand – including that he entered a relationship with a 16-year-old girl when he was 30, have prompted calls for consent laws to be reviewed.

He has denied the allegations.

Do we need to look again at the age of consent? pic.twitter.com/RyIUd30Mji

— BBC Radio Scotland (@BBCRadioScot) September 19, 2023


Oh, yeah, great idea – let’s make everything much worse by giving women even more power!

The Guardian:

There are growing calls for the laws and social norms around the age of consent to be reassessed after allegations that Russell Brand sexually assaulted a 16-year-old when he was in his 30s.

The alleged victim, who told the Sunday Times that Brand had a three-month relationship with her which started in 2006, has called for a debate around staggered ages of consent.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour this week, the woman known by the alias Alice said it was time to “start to think about changing” the law and “staggered ages of consent”.

“There’s a reasonable argument [that] individuals between the ages of 16 and 18 can have relations with people within that same age bracket,” she said, adding that there should be a way to prevent older adults from exploiting 16- and 17-year-olds. “You’re allowed to make mistakes as a teenager, they should be with other people your own age.”

…

Alice alleged that on one occasion during the relationship, Brand, then 31, “forced his penis down her throat”, making her choke, and he only stopped when she punched him in the stomach.

“The current law is problematic because it is creating a space where people don’t think relationships between young, potentially vulnerable people and someone much older is unacceptable,” said Jayne Butler, CEO of Rape Crisis England and Wales. She said one potential area that could be explored was extending the current provision under the 2003 Sexual Offences Act, which makes it illegal to take part in sexual activity with someone under 18 if you are someone in a position of trust such as a teacher.

Assuming that every relationship a woman is involved in is a “mistake” – as that argument necessarily assumes – why does it matter how old the man is?

Their answer is of course some communist gibberish about “power dynamics.” They won’t explain what it means, they just start mumbling and trail off – “muh power dynamics, muthafuka…”

Assuming that it is possible to “exploit” a woman – I don’t accept that this is possible, but assuming you are the kind of faggot that believes this bullshit – why would an older man have more ability than a younger man to do this “exploiting”? Also, what happens to a woman between the ages of 16 and 18 that she becomes “unexploitable”?

It’s stupid.

The age of consent is a hoax, designed to prevent girls from pair-bonding effectively as virgins. If they cared about “exploitation,” they would be saying “no sex before marriage.” Instead, they’re saying sex before marriage is fine, you just have to do it with teenage boys who have no ability to materially provide for you.

Russell Brand is totally doomed.

They are going to keep saying “forced his penis down the throat of a child.”

He is pinned against a wall and he is running out of time to flee the country.

Previously: All Broadcasters Investigating Russell Brand

It’s surprising YouTube didn’t just ban him outright.

They’ve been waiting to do that.

The Guardian:

YouTube has suspended Russell Brand’s ability to earn money on the platform following allegations of rape and sexual assault in a massive hit to his finances.

The video-sharing and social media site said it had suspended Brand’s channel from the YouTube partner programme after serious allegations against him, meaning his videos are no longer able to be monetised on the platform.

The 48-year-old comedian and actor has been accused of rape, assault and emotional abuse between 2006 and 2013, when he was at the height of his fame working for the BBC, Channel 4 and starring in Hollywood films. He denies the allegations, saying all his relationships were consensual.

The Met police said on Monday they had received an allegation of sexual assault in Soho, central London, in 2003. The force added that as yet no investigation had been launched.

Suspending Brand’s ability to earn money from his YouTube channel is a major blow to the comedian’s finances. YouTube pays creators a cut of the money it earns from showing adverts next to their videos, which can be a highly lucrative business.

Brand had prepared for this eventuality by moving many of his videos across to rival site Rumble, although this a relatively niche outlet that does not give Brand access to the 6.5 million subscribers he has built up during a decade on YouTube.

Although Brand no longer works for mainstream media outlets, his alternative media empire still relies on several online platforms such as YouTube that host his content and process payments. Brand’s book publisher has already said it will pause future projects with the performer.

A spokesperson for YouTube said: “We have suspended monetisation on Russell Brand’s channel for violating our creator responsibility policy. If a creator’s off-platform behaviour harms our users, employees or ecosystem, we take action to protect the community.”

Industry experts have estimated Brand probably makes between £2,000 to £4,000 a video, which,, based on five videos a week, could produce close to £1m a year.

Not sure when allegations – without any criminal charges – became the standard for punishing people.

I guess that change took place sometime in mid-2020. Maybe we’re just noticing it now.

It’s strange, because now anyone who doesn’t like someone can destroy their life by accusing him of something.

Elon Sort of Sticks Up for Russell https://www.anglinarchive.com/2023/09/18/elon-sort-of-sticks-up-for-russell/ Mon, 18 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0000

No more canceling. Enough is enough.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 17, 2023

Reformed neo-Nazi and former best friend of Andy Warski (who also tried to get me banned from Twitter by repeatedly tweeting directly to Elon, even though I had no problem with him), Ian Miles Chong, tweeted that Russell Brand is getting canceled.

Elon responded that people should not be canceled anymore.

The issue is, Brand is not actually getting “canceled,” he’s getting lynched.

He’s going to go to prison forever if he doesn’t flee to Russia immediately.

The latest news today is that the British cops say they’ve received a rape report from a different girl. The Times says they’ve received many more claims. The Indian Prime Minister, Rishi, had his spokesman release a statement about Brand (!).

AP:

Max Blain, spokesman for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, said the claims were “very serious and concerning.” Conservative legislator Caroline Nokes, who chairs the House of Commons Women and Equalities Committee, urged police in both Britain and the United States to investigate the “incredibly shocking” allegations.

“This merits and needs a criminal investigation, because for too long we have seen men — and the perpetrators of these sorts of crimes are almost invariably men — not being held to account for their behaviors and their actions,” she told BBC radio.

This latest AP “Brand Roundup” article actually admits that the women are only making these claims because he’s popular on the internet, speaking out against the vaccine and such:

Supporters of Brand asked why the allegations were being made years after the alleged incidents. The women said that they only felt ready to tell their stories after being approached by reporters, with some citing Brand’s newfound prominence as an online wellness influencer as a factor in their decision to speak.

…

In recent years Brand has largely disappeared from mainstream media but has built up a large following online with videos mixing wellness and conspiracy theories. His YouTube channel, which has more than 6 million subscribers, has featured COVID-19 conspiracy theories, vaccine misinformation and interviews with controversial broadcasters including Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan.

It’s the only thing on British TV right now. These clips are insane.

Maybe this is the escalation of “canceling,” where they just throw you in prison. But that’s not how the term has generally been used perviously.

As far as I know, Russell still has not fled the country.

He’s going to wish he would have.

Russell Brand Rape Hoax Blowing Up – Top of New York Post, UK Cops Already Involved https://www.anglinarchive.com/2023/09/17/russell-brand-rape-hoax-blowing-up-top-of-new-york-post-uk-cops-already-involved/ Sun, 17 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Previously: Russell Brand Getting MeToo’d for Exposing the True Agenda of the Global Elite

The machine has gone into overdrive over spurious rape allegations against actor-turned-internet-rightist Russell Brand.

The allegations, originally reported by the Times of London on Saturday, are now a top story everywhere, including being the feature of Sunday morning’s New York Post. The Post is framing him like a Weinstein figure, saying that he was going after every girl in his vicinity and that the girls were oh-so-very threatened.

It’s also been announced that the UK cops are “asking for other victims to come forward.”

 

I already wrote a big thing about this a few hours ago, so go read that. But rather than just add an update to that, I’m publishing a second piece, because it’s Sunday and I want to fill up the page so I can relax because this seriously changes the dynamics of the situation.

He’s on the front page of the Guardian, where some mush-faced faggot (who thinks he’s going to get pussy by virtue signaling about Brand) gives the Channel 4 report 5 Stars (the maximum number of stars). This just aired a few hours ago, and was not out at the time I wrote the previous piece.

The Guardian is of course going completely nuts, acting like this is a new 911 type event.

With the original allegations yesterday, it was like “yeah, he’s probably f-ed,” but over the last few hours, it’s escalated to involve a bloodthirsty mob and the police, so I’m comfortable saying: “he’s looking at a situation where the US and UK are arguing about who gets to put him in prison first.”

As far as I know, his primary residence is currently in the UK. He did a show in London last night, and the media showed up to take unflattering pictures of him leaving the venue.

The Times piece has girls from both the US and the UK, and claims that one of the Americans actually went to a rape center the day after she had sex with him and that this is on record, and that there are text messages where he apologizes to her for “raping” her.

In the UK, one of the girls was 16 (when he was in his 30s), and she describes him referring to her as a “child.”

He is so, so very doomed.

Presumably, more girls will “come forward,” just because they are old and bitter that he is still young and handsome.

I’m going to say again: he needs to be in Moscow when the charges come down. They’re going to take his passport, and even if he has another passport, that creates all kinds of problems.

This stuff is stressful, I know, and it’s hard to think on your feet when the crisis happens. But I would just tell him this: look at it like you’re just going to take a little Russian vacation while you see what happens next.

His response would likely be that it would make him look guilty to leave the country, but my response to that response would be that the media and the cops have already decided he’s guilty and the only thing leaving does is make it look like he doesn’t want to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Russell Brand, who does a show on Rumble, is no Nick Fuentes, but he is on par with Tucker Carlson on the “far right” spectrum (and I think better than Carlson in several different ways). I’m sure he would take issue with the categorization as “far right,” but I don’t know what you call it – it’s political content that goes as far as you can with the truth without mentioning Jews, abolishing democracy, ending women’s rights, executing homosexuals, or several other issues that you’re really only going to read here, or hear on the Nick Fuentes podcast.

Brand’s material is basically boomer friendly, but it’s stuff they don’t want people hearing. I mean, Fox News fired Tucker Carlson for a reason. I have my complaints about Tucker Carlson (alien hoaxing, virus hoaxing, China balloon hoaxing, etc.), but I’m not going to claim that the establishment likes him.

I said when the Harvey Weinstein ruling happened: they are definitely going to use this for political purposes, because it can be applied to any man who has ever had sex. The Weinstein ruling made heterosexual sex de facto illegal, because any girl can say that any sexual interaction she had with you was rape.

I am a crisis management expert, and this situation is very clear to me:

Go to Russia, Russell! Go to the airport, and go right now!

Even if you think there is some way you can get out of this, there is zero chance you are going to regret being cautious.

There is a very big chance that when they seize your passport, you are going to regret thinking you can talk your way out of an organized lynching involving the entire media establishment.

Man, I hate this shit.

I wish so badly this guy would go to Russia and do a press conference like “yeah, mate, I’m thinking I’m just gonna relax here for a wee bit, see how things go.”

It would be a win for everyone – not least, Russia.

The Guardian:

Broadcasters have launched urgent investigations into the historical conduct of Russell Brand while the Metropolitan police has appealed for any potential victims to come forward after the comedian was accused of rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse.

The BBC said it was “urgently looking into the issues raised” by the publication of allegations over the weekend that Brand harmed four women, including claims that he raped a woman in Los Angeles and sexually assaulted a British schoolgirl aged 16. Channel 4 has also pulled all of Brand’s content from its streaming service while it investigates.

The claims were published in the Sunday Times after a years-long investigation into the comedian, alongside Channel 4’s Dispatches. They relate to the period between 2006 and 2013, when the self-confessed sex addict was at the height of his fame, working for BBC Radio 2 and Channel 4 and starring in Hollywood films.

Brand denied the claims in a video posted online before they were published, saying he was facing a “litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks”.

The foreign secretary, James Cleverly, said on Sunday that the investigation prompted wider questions for the entertainment industry and that early intervention was needed when allegations involved a power imbalance.

While he did not comment specifically on Brand, he told BBC One’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg: “I think there are some real challenges where you have these very, very acute differentials in power, whether that be in the entertainment industry, whether that be in politics, and we see this in the commercial world as well.

“I think we have to be particularly careful when we listen to the voices of the people who are relatively powerless because we, I think, collectively have missed opportunities to do the right thing and intervene much, much earlier, and we’ve got to be better at this.”

Yeah. Right. Women are powerless. But their words are considered proof of a crime, even when there is no evidence. And some random bitch can destroy the life of a famous celebrity.

Totally powerless.

So moral of you to say, Ms…. Kuenssberg.

Look: he is going to prison forever.

This is all coming down.

The police are already doing preliminary work.

In general, people don’t want to be exiled to Russia, I guess. But come on. It’s better than life in prison.

Just get on the plane, Russell.

This is going to be the worst for you, because you’re the one going to prison, but it’s going to be so demoralizing for all of us.

You will go down in history if you flee to Russia.

To be clear – they are not going to extradite you, under really any circumstances. Even if you had committed a real crime, they would probably just try you in Russia. But this “date rape” bullshit is not a crime in Russia, so that’s not happening.

It’s up to you, bud.
