Undermining the presumption of innocence and feeding cancel culture are run of the mill these days, but the timing is very strange.
Kit Knightly – Off-Guardian Sept 21, 2023
his Russell Brand story gets stranger and stranger by the day. Last night it was revealed the a senior MP had written letters to multiple social media companies requesting information on Russell Brand’s income and covertly pressuring them into either demonetizing or removing his accounts.
[NOTE: Before we continue you may want to read our recent pieces on the Russell Brand case and the UK’s new Online Safety Bill.]
The news broke when video-hosting platform Rumble posted a screenshot of their letter, along with their official response, on Twitter.
In the letter, Dame Caroline Dinenage MP – chair of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee – requests to know “whether Mr Brand is able monetize his content”, “whether Rumble intends to join YouTube [in suspending monetization]” and what steps they are taking to “ensure that creators are not able to use the platform to undermine the welfare of victims”.
It was later revealed that near-identical letters had been sent to the offices of X(Twitter) and TikTok.
This is, obviously, wrong. At the very least it’s massive government overreach and potential ministerial misconduct. It is certainly a breach of privacy, and a flagrant display of disregard for the rule of law.
Forget Russell Brand, whether or not you like him and what he did or didn’t do, this is a point of principle.
Right now Brand is nothing but the subject of media-based mudslinging – there has been no trial, no arrest, and no charge. He is entirely innocent in the eyes of the law and remains that way until convicted, this is a vital right enshrined in British law since Magna Carta [emphasis added]:
No free man is to be arrested, or imprisoned, or disseised, or outlawed, or exiled, or in any other way ruined, nor will we go against him or send against him, except by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land.
What would prompt the government to overstep like this?
There’s really only one answer to that: The overstep was the whole point.
Either Russell Brand is being genuinely persecuted to establish this precedent, or it’s a manufactured drama being used to establish the precedent. Either way, the precedent is the aim of the game, and the precedent is what should concern everyone much more than the details of the case.
But that’s just the run-of-the-mill tyranny which, in these days of de-banking and censorship, is becoming rather monotonous.
The really odd thing about this is the timing.
The Online Safety Bill
The day before yesterday the House of Lords passed the Online Safety Bill into law, when it’s given Royal assent it will grant sweeping new powers to Britain’s media regulator OfCom.
Among those powers is the authority to serve “information notices”. Meaning OfCom will be empowered to request and collect any and all information they desire from internet services, under penalty of fines or even prison time if the company fails to comply.
So you see, there was no need for Dinenage to send those letters out. In the very near future the government would have been able to file information notices with Rumble/TikTok/X, and there would be no question of a) publicly embarrassing an MP or b) companies refusing to co-operate.
There was no time pressure on Dinenage to act, the news only broke a few days ago. And she can’t claim to not know the contents of the bill, because as Digital Minister from 2020-2021 she helped write it.
To sum up: There was no reason at all to send those letters now. So why were they sent?
It could be that by asking for information and being denied it, they are trying to demonstrate why we “need” the Online Safety Bill. “Rumble is protecting sexual predators, but the new law will stop that!”.
It could be that social media companies are keen to perform “standing up the government” to excuse or distract from their inevitable co-operation down the line. “Look, we said no when they asked, but now they’re forcing us under a new law! It’s not our fault!”.
It could be some totally illogical self-serving move from an ambitious MP who wants to be seen to be “tough on sexual assault”.
It could be that they are quite deliberately providing both sides with talking points to support their opinion in order to entrench positions and sustain division (they do this a lot lately).
…or it could be something else entirely. There’s a certain feeling of chaos for chaos sake right now, maybe when the waters calm the overall agenda will reveal itself.
On a final note I just want to point out that Dame Caroline Dinenage’s husband is Major General John Mark Lancaster, Baron Lancaster of Kimbolton, former deputy commander of the British Army’s 77th Brigade, responsible for “non-lethal warfare and behavioural influence”.
Make of that what you will.
Incidentally, if you’d like to contact Dame Caroline to let her know what you think of her attempt to undermine human rights law, you can do so here.

There’s no point in trying to discuss or make a point with a Nazi regime MP.
The purpose of the letters is a smoke screen.
Brand has become a huge problem. Not because he’s telling the truth, because most of the time, it’s misdirection, such as his aliens crud. Brand is a modern day Micheal Moore. He goes so far, and hits this critical point, which he never crosses.
Another reason to target Brand, he’s a highly sexed guy, and this can be a curse, because guys aren’t allowed to be sexual. The media can be their sexual, Hollywood can be their sexual, trans can be their sexual, and in front of lambs, but rams can’t be sexual.
Every aspect of the Nazi state, and I include high profile ewes, can be their sexual, but Brand and his kind, can’t be naturally sexual. And yes, rams can be very sexually persuasive. Only a court, or the reeducation of ewes could answer this.
The following day regret, IS NOT RAPE. A ewe who claims to have been raped by Brand, sent a text, saying ‘I made a bad decision’. She admits consent. You can’t get bonked and have 14 days to change your mind.
I’ve read many comments by high profile ewes, and they are all mentally fecked up. Rams are naturally predatory.
Some 16yr old, but was probably older, said to some guy, an Elvis impersonator and tattoo artist, ‘I’ll do anything for a tattoo’. Now, this guy is, or was in court, precisely what the charge was, I don’t know. Maybe paying her for sex and her claiming she was under 18. Getting a barter deal, free tattoo, for sex… are there double standards here for money?
The thing about Brand, is that he can’t get a fair trial. These ewes making fake media programmes just destroys any case against Brand. These accusations that Brand exposed himself, surely there are written statements of these indidents, or close dated witness conversations where a ewe tells another ewe hours or a day or so ago, that I was in the office, and Brand exposed himself to me. Do these even exist?
Personally, I’ve never liked Brand, but then again, all his supposed victims are a shower of shit as well.
The main takeaway is that this new legislation and the many attacks/frame ups of various rams in the public sphere, prove we are a Nazi state and that anyone who doesn’t tow the line politically, or behaviour wise, such as doing ramly things, won’t be tolerated.
Having said that, the thicko sheeple deserve all they get.
He was addicted to heroin, then sex, now attention, and still has the remnants of his staring heroin eyes, and his style of speech shares awareness much less than it demands admiration
What’s with this vaunted Magna Carta? Nobody ever posted a copy through the letterbox and nearly a thousand years have been had for doing so. Is a simple full copy available in English for download online? Not that it should be necessary to go online.
Perhaps the early eighties ‘ Protect & Survive’ was more important to us the people then?
Figure it out – millions upon millions have lived & died without ever having seen so much as a copy of it!
So much for the people who mouth platitudes about the Magna Carta – does it end ‘P.s – and don’t give any of the plebs a copy!’
Believe there will be no problem ’bout turning Salisbury Cathedral into a Mosque and implementing Sharia Law – upon which your ever caring government will be only too glad to provide everyone with a Koran instead – period 🔥
I’m amazed how many have been suckered by this obvious-Pied-Piper-Judas Goat-distraction merchant ?
So many red-flags abound (npi)-Schmoozing with the WEF crowd.Very tight with the Rothschild circle.Cameo at the 2012 Opening (Black Magik ritual,effulgent with illuminati and NLP Covid symbology) Olympics ceremony… as the ice-skating CHILDCATCHER and nuptials to archetypal MK-Ultra/Monarch influencer kitten Katy Perry ? He’s probably cut from similar MK/Tavistock cloth as the rest of them.ie-Swift,Beyonce,Spears,Kanye,Grande,Corden (recall the last two’s vaxine vid shtick and Grande as the requisite ‘bait’ for the Manchester bomb atrocity ?) RB definitely a chess piece to be played as now happening.
From looking at this creature, it likely has a Yid hanging somewhere on its family tree.
he is defo not right
i always felt he was a wrong un
for the company he keeps
maybe he can now get some proper treatment
PS take carl jones when you go
I have a proposal whereby Bud Light recovers its lost market by having Russell Brand as model.
Himmler (Nico X)–of course it is Yid
