TL;DR: Did the Establishment (Or Matrix or Deep State) fabricate the allegations against Russell Brand because he was contradicting the official narrative? Some have claimed this, but allegations go as far back as far as 2006. The recently released investigation began in 2019. An alternative explanation is that Brand began pandering to the Info Wars crowd in recent years, knowing these allegations were catching up to him and knowing he could monetize this conspiratorial crowd by portraying himself as the latest victim of the Establishment/Deep State/Matrix.
The idea that the recent sexual misconduct allegations against Russell Brand are part of a conspiracy by the “Deep State” or other powerful entities to silence him because of his views on COVID or other controversial topics is not supported by the available evidence. Here are some key points to consider:
Timeline of Allegations: The sexual misconduct allegations against Russell Brand go back as far as 2006, well before the COVID pandemic or any recent controversial statements he may have made. The investigation into these allegations in Britain began in 2019. This timeline makes it highly unlikely that these allegations were planted as a response to his recent comments.
Legal Environment in the UK: The United Kingdom has strict laws against damaging a person’s reputation through false allegations. Accusers and media organizations can face legal consequences for publishing false information that harms someone’s reputation. This legal framework makes it unlikely that the allegations against Brand were fabricated without solid evidence.
Multiple Accusers: The recent allegations against Russell Brand involve multiple accusers, each with their own separate accounts of misconduct. These allegations were made independently and not as part of a coordinated effort to target him for his views.
Historical Allegations: There were previous allegations of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior made against Russell Brand dating back to the mid-2000s. These allegations were not part of any conspiracy related to his recent statements on COVID or other topics.
Independent Investigation: The allegations against Brand were the result of an investigation by reputable media outlets such as The Sunday Times, The Times, and Channel 4’s Dispatches. Such investigations involve thorough fact-checking and verification of claims before they are published.
Brand’s Response: Russell Brand has denied the allegations and stated that his relationships have “always been consensual.” He had the opportunity to respond to the allegations, and his denial was included in the reporting.
In light of these facts, it is more reasonable to conclude that the allegations against Russell Brand are not part of a conspiracy to silence him but rather represent individual accounts of alleged misconduct that have come to light through legitimate investigative journalism. The timing of these allegations appears coincidental to any recent controversial statements he may have made.
One possible interpretation is that, in knowing that this investigation was in progress, Brand began taking this conspiratorial route in his content so he could attract a more Info Wars-like crowd who would believe that these allegations were fabricated to shut him up.
