Russel Brand Nails It

There's a reason he labelled his tour the Messiah Complex.

Again, i don't necessarily disagree with Brand, as i said he raises some fair points, his under the skin podcast has some interesting content and guests.

I never realised he had so many fan boys.

He has way more fan girls. Check out some of his interviews with female celebrities. I was surprised when he was guest on 'The View'. Those women were visibly affected. He's got (or had) something.

No doubt he has an abundance of charm combined with confidence and intelligence, probably what attracts the ladies. From what i understand he's now happily married with children so could be the reason behind his spiritual and intellectual evolution. He certainly appears more comfortable within himself and more consistent with his opinions as of late.

Again, although i think he has a hidden agenda it doesn't necessarily mean i dislike him, his heart might even be in the right place.

Most of what he preaches is however just regurgitation of other peoples work with a comedic spin, nothing more.

Well if his "gift of the gab" reaches a significant number of the masses and he can translate the same disclosures that are revealed and debated on this noble forum into a form that is digestible, then he has my vote. I feel time is short and the threat from technocratic corporate tyranny creeping upon our lives and freedoms very real.

I wholeheartedly agree, we need as many voices spreading this information as possible.

I've been surprised with how often I agree with the guy. I came in with preconceived notions a couple years ago and have been ... mostly agreeing and glad the slack jawed star "effers" have someone to rudely awaken them to a fraction of the poop going down.

No wonder people have suspicions about any somewhat "famous" person developing a large platform...

but at least his heart seems to be in the correct spot... or rather his heart and brain seem to exist.

The internet was designed to be a weapon and always has been a weapon.

Pretty solid truth right there.

People love or hate Russell Brand because he is a giant cockwomble. That being said, he speaks a lot of truth and many find that truth uncomfortable. The truth remains the through, though, whoever speaks it.

As for anyone muttering about the right being the warmongers, err, history should teach us otherwise. The left, and I include the Nazi’s in this, because if you do your research they actually were left wing, have committed the vast majority of atrocities worldwide. They certainly don’t like open debate and love a good centralised dictatorial system.

However, even those things have been artificially created to ensnare and divide us along party political lines. There are good folk on all sides, but it is the sides that are the problem.
