Icke vs Brand

 

David Icke has Tweeted at Russell Brand in a manner that the receiver calls an "attack". David says: "When Russell Brand calls himself the 'independent media' the words should stick in his throat. He is a fully-dependent Trump-Musk-MAGA arselicker and professional shill. Here he quotes Alex Karp, co-founder of Palantir, the intelligence and military surveillance tech supplier, in support of his masters and says Karp is dropping 'truth bombs'. This is the Karp who has bragged that Palantir kills people. Clearly Mr Brand has no shame. Karp is on the steering committee of the GLOBALIST Bilderberg Group along with fellow Palantir founder Peter Thiel, the funder of JD Vance's political career and orchestrater of the AI dystopia via Trump with his friends like Elon Musk. Brand claims to be 'anti-globalist' just like Vance. You had better laugh or you would weep. Brand says in effect that Democrats can't criticise billionaire Musk taking over government when George Soros supported them, thus perpetuating the diversionary left-right puppet show when it's a one-party state. NEITHER unelected billionaire should have the power over government that they do. Try that for size Mr Brand. Ah, but if you spoke the truth and exposed the puppet show you would not be able to arsekiss Trump and Musk which gets you invites to Mar-a-Lago and oh, so much besides. Not only are you not the 'independent media', Mr Brand, with the virtue-signalling fly on your forehead. You are an insult to those that are. If you take this guy seriously as a 'truth-teller' you have really lost the plot." Source: https://x.com/davidicke/status/1898865927522799969.

It's ironic that I am not a Russell Brand fan, in fact I generally hold David Icke in far higher esteem. David has made many criticisms of Russell in the past that are perfectly legitimate. "Walk the talk or walk away!" as he once said in one of his live shows; I can't remember which one. This was after Russell gave an interview to Kerrang Radio in which it was clear he was only interested drawing fame and attention to himself for his own purposes. However, this time I find myself agreeing more with Brand. It's not so much David's actual statements about Russell, it's the bitter and scathing tone he uses. He's really starting to sound like a backslapper. I've always disagreed with David on a lot of things and I still do. I know very well that David does not believe Trump is a genuine alternative and thinks he is just another insider. As you know, I believe otherwise and explain why in the background links below. I don't think it's a good idea to associate with Thiel and Karp, but David does not grasp the true agenda behind Trump's current policies. David also has taken a conventional partisan stance in the Israel vs Gaza conflict; I have not, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2023/10/israel-war-livestream.html. I don't like Russell Brand's personality particularly, but David is still very unfair to him in this situation. What would David think of me? I know a lot of people who think I'm wrong about Trump etc too, but they aren't disparaging of me. I think they understand that we are all on our own journeys and we're all trying our best to navigate our way through this world we live in; as Russell says: "trying to plot some... Dao, some path... through the chaos." There was a time when the David Icke I used to admire would understand that. Does he not anymore?
