Seeking out is an understatement. Apparently they have made 100s of calls and were not getting the results they wanted.

This is political hit job. Brand has become too cozy with Tucker and starting to reveal some truths the political elite don’t want spoken.

What truths? I never heard of this guy before today.

Actually, if I recall correctly, he was a very loud, outspoken and obnoxious leftist at the height of his comedy/acting career (early to mid 2000’s) while he was married to Katie Perry, but he got “red pilled”.

Appears to me that breaking free of the leftist/liberal/LBQTXYZ#@$& cult is no different than leaving the Church of Scientology. They will retaliate against you. They harass, stalk and pester you by any and every means available to them.

A cult is a cult is a cult regardless as to what it calls itself or the image it presents to world.

Evil is as evil does.

Only took her 20 years to report it and only after he spoke out about Big Pharma and Big Gov’t collusion.

It sounds legit. /sarcasm

Bad example. A lot of folks in Hollyweird knew Cosby was a sex predator going back to the 1960s and his public persona was a fraudulent façade.

See my post #43.

I was not familiar with either until my pre-teen/teenage daughters brought him and Katie Perry too my attention around 2008-2009. His comedy, movies, politics and antics catered to that particular generation.

Dana Loesch went over all this in detail. Brand was in fine shape, then he started speaking out about such things as the shot. All of a sudden, all this crap starts coming out of the woodwork against him.

Interesting, but I’m still not sure what bombshells he or any other comedian could be sitting on. I doubt he has any smoking guns on Hunter Biden, for instance. Generally when the Left targets people it’s because they know something damaging to the Left.

I just find that strange.

When I went to our local police station to file a complaint against a roofer who stole our materials we paid for....I was able to press charges.

Great summary from janetjanet998 from a thread this AM (with minor mechanics edits):

Timeline
2006-2013 Some stuff might have happened.

2014-2022 - Nothing.

2022- Brand becomes red pilled on some issues especially on Covid lockdowns, Big Pharma, and against the war in Ukraine. Brand starts a daily Live show on Rumble video.

2022- British media suddenly seek out women from Brand’s past ( source Glenn Greenwald).

2023- Brand has over 6 million YouTube subscribers and 1.3 million Rumble subs.

2023- He goes on a us tour appearing on places like Joe Rogan show.

2023 - He had tucker Carlson on his Rumble show with millions of viewers and is becoming more popular.

Sept 2023- British media release the hit piece.

- The police say no women have come forward so far but encourage them to do so

- British politicians demand police investigation into Brand.

- His sponsors cancel his comedy tour.

- YouTube demonetized his channel costing him big bucks.

Number of guilty verdicts against Brand = zero.

Number of open court cases= zero.

Number of official police investigations so far = zero.

Times Brand talked about wrong think = too many for the establishment.

I think with Brand it is more that he has a following outside the Right, and might red pill lots of young proto-Leftists.

You are mistaken, or worse. Cosby never joked about sex and women.

“When the left targets people it’s because they know something damaging to the left.”

_______________________________________________________

Well, yes and no. I do not believe they are going after him because he has a “bombshell” or some secret information to reveal. Rather, I believe like all cults, it is the fact that he knows firsthand how they think and can confirm the suspicions of the left’s adversaries (conservatives). Things like grooming, pedophilia, voter fraud, etc. It’s like being in the mob, and even though everybody knows the mob deals in drugs, runs prostitution rings, extorts and blackmails people, loansharking, illegal gambling, robbery, burglary, smuggling and murder, you don’t ever talk about it and once you are in, you are in for life and nobody gets to walk away. And that is why they are going after him.

Maybe it’s because I live in a blue state and have no choice but to deal with leftists, but I figured everyone knew how leftists think and act by now. Unless the comedian job is just a cover for something else, nothing Brand could say would shock me. I don’t know if I’m that jaded or if a lot of Freepers are living in red bubbles or both.

> Nowadays, a rape is considered to occur when on stroke 25, the woman says ‘no’ even if there was consent initially.

"Stroke 25"? Ah, that's the problem.

A true gentleman finishes after half a dozen at most, while the consent is still fresh.

/s (I think...)

One difference being, Bill Cosby admitted to drugging and raping women... He even joked about it in his stand-up.

Not much of a difference. The Post says Brand joked onstage about raping someone.

Brand has Tucker on his program and vice versa. The are both critics of the Covid vaccines and the proxy war in Ukraine.

“Criticize the drug companies, question the war in Ukraine, and you can be pretty sure this is going to happen," wrote Carlson on X in support of Brand.

Maybe he can have a prison channel after he’s sentenced
