I could be that Russell is guilty, but the evidence falls far short of proving it. As a former criminal defense attorney, I have represented people whom I firmly believe were not guilty but were charged with child sexual assault. It is a horrible travesty for an honest man to be falsely charged. The testimony against Russell is sketchy, unsubstantiated, and ancient. I smell a retaliatory witch hunt because Brand dared to challenge the deep state on many narratives.

After so many years….he said, she said. A witch hunt for sure.

Such an unexpected take 😂

I do find it curious that thousands of young girls were graped and tortured by "migrants" in Britain and were given light sentences or released. There is obviously a double legal standard and selective enforcement of law in the UK. I don't know if he is guilty or not, but I do know the media has been demonizing him in a coordinated fashion. That is never an accident.

They were out to get him because he spoke against the government.

Jennifer Collins Brever's avatar

And because he is a staunch Christian.

They still outright murder Christians in other places in the world.

Renee C.'s avatar

They do indeed and where is the outcry by the rest of the world?

This is an important and nuanced account of the shocking double standard we just witnessed. This same deep state sinister control over our our justice system, our media and, to a large extent our politics, is what we are all fighting here in Britain. Brand's extraordinarily harsh sentencing for what was essentially consensual anal sex, two decades past, with no evidence is entirely politically motivated. Thousands are being imprisoned for saying the 'wrong' things online now in Britain. Brand used his platform to criticise Covid, Lock down, billions wasted in corrupt Ukraine war, and many other matters that threatened the agenda of control being unleashed in Britain, as in other western democracies, including, before Trump, the USA.

I wonder what will happen when the UK is under Sharia law.....it won't be long at this rate.

And during Trump... and after Trump...

Two names: Charles and Andrew. Real sexual predators that are apparently off-limits🤪

Absolutely a travesty of justice! Very scary, and your right, the government may soon put witchcraft back on the crime watch to eliminate the opposition. This government today is the scariest I have heard of in 200 years.

JenniferS's avatar

Also scary are some of the commenters, who don't seem to have much in the way of reading comprehension and/or cognitive ability.

Daniel Murphy's avatar

I read and comprehended the article but don’t know what your comment is meant to imply. Please lay it out for us.

JenniferS's avatar

Sorry. The author is not exonerating Russell Brand; he is arguing that the charges were not established beyond a reasonable doubt (if that is the standard in England).

Willard Hall's avatar

Wrong, there is no actual substantive evidence.

Heather L Reynolds's avatar

An excellent analysis. I find the prosecution and conviction of Russell Brand a travesty of justice. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his wife and family.

I knew little of Russel Brand before the pandemic, when I discovered him on YouTube. I soon came to admire his exceptional intellect and caustic wit, when bringing to light the perversions of the deep state, as did nearly seven million other followers. Most importantly to me was Russell’s unflinching honesty and self deprecation when speaking about his days prior to getting clean and coming to Christ. We all see what’s pawned off as news coverage these days and the product is its own form of pornography, for the deep state horrors it allows to spread to civilians; via dedicated silence. This is the true reason for this travesty, he is brilliant, he is aware and he is steadfastly honest in his editorial and the people love him for it. There exist no Saint who was not once a sinner. Mr Brand is a hero and I will stand with him, through this contrived debauchery the UK peddles as justice.

Short of calling any woman who has sex with a man just because he’s a celebrity a slut…which she is…perhaps celebrities, or any man for that matter, should consider getting a signed release explicitly acknowledging consent from the woman before sex. Furthermore, the charges in which Brand was found not guilty, why are the false accusers not arrested?

You just lost all credibility to support a monster like Russell Brand. MAHA keeps wanting supporters, no matter how they live their life. Integrity, honesty, and values matter in making America healthy again. Your support shows how sick you are and I will not support you. Good bye.

Janet Young's avatar

It’s probably good your out. You completely lost what this post was all about. If your ok with what was done here after so many years and coordinated hit piece in the media against this one man who just so happens to have a podcast that rails against the UK government then bye bye you never understoood what MAHA stands for in the first place. Russell Brand never said he was an angel in his past. He turned his life around completely and tried to live his life with honesty integrity and values and that’s why I take his word for this. He knows the Lord and honesty is a very big part of Christianity

Daniel Murphy's avatar

Every Saint was once a sinner. The man admitted to his many shortcomings on multiple occasions and found redemption through Jesus Christ, that my dear is the highest court in the universe.

Jennifer Collins Brever's avatar

You must not have viewed that sinner Brand in the recent years. Married with children and a 360 degree turned Christian.

TeeJae's avatar

Brand has regularly participated on the MAHA Media Hub, rallies, and other events for the past two years. Yet, just like his accusers, you're just NOW speaking out against him? That's not fishy at all.

Texas Evan's avatar

But they aren't interested in 250,000 rapes by muslims. Got it. What makes Russel different than muslims? He now professes faith in Christ. They didn't arrest him before that. Only after.

Renee C.'s avatar

THIS!!! Thank you for pointing out what should be obvious.

MAHA has really disappointed me in regard to supporting Russell Brand. You continually quote from the evidence in court, but to understand and accept the enormity of his actions over many years, you would have to have lived in the United Kingdom, watched his behaviour, listened to his statements, "jokes" etc..... I no longer followed Rumble because he featured on their website. Disgusting

Janet Young's avatar

I’d say you are greatly biased against Russell Brand. Someone can be convicted by statements and attitude is what someone should be convicted of? Watching things going on in the UK makes me very suspicious of British law

Off-topic : Did anybody watch the whole interview Joe Rogan did with Calley Means? Explains why RFKJ has not done anything significant While in HHS.

Disturbing but unsurprising given current emotional brittleness during chaotic political turbulence are the judgments, assumptions and diatribes of some readers of this MAHA Report. John Leake, a meticulous historian, has simply and significantly challenged the validity and ethics of the judicial system.

TeeJae's avatar

As I've replied to some of those commenters, it appears to be a coordinated hit campaign by anti-MAHA factions.

Interesting timing of the pursuit of outdated sexual promiscuity crimes against the outspoken Russell Brand, which ring true, if questionably criminally prosecuted.

What about Rotterdam and its appalling organized sexual crimes by Muslim men against British schoolgirls and the other cities with similar sexual predation crime circles? Those crimes have not been pursued with the same energy by British media or British justice.

If he did it and if it is illegal in Great Britain, (their culture has been significantly degraded in many ways) he should do his time.

Thankyou Maha for this article and for evaluating the evidence . Health is not just physical it begins with courage and honesty and you have shown this.
