Rumble dares\u2062 to platform \u200dcountless \u2063dissident voices like Brand, and for this, the site may\u200c soon be banned in the UK thanks to a new, repressive law. Rumble\u2019s executives may even face arrest\u200d if\u2064 they step foot on British soil.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Rumble received an open letter from a committee \u2064in Parliament pressuring the video platform to join YouTube in demonetizing Brand after he was accused of \u2064sexual assault. Rumble refused to comply. &#8220;We regard it as deeply inappropriate and dangerous that the UK Parliament\u200c would attempt\u200d to control who is allowed to speak on our platform or to earn a living,&#8221; Rumble wrote in a statement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-1595093698\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-e7c15d9f8b13eba9bf91e993c2d3c96c fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-e7c15d9f8b13eba9bf91e993c2d3c96c\"><\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that the allegations levied\u2062 against Brand by mostly anonymous sources via the\u200c British\u2063 media have not been evaluated in a court of law, and \u2062Brand emphatically denies their validity. Irrespective of \u200bwhether or not the allegations are true, \u2062however, Brand should not be\u2062 demonetized or de-platformed. <em>Convicted<\/em> criminals should be punished by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/president-trump-please-pardon-jon-woods-a-victim-of-process-crimes-like-michael-flynn\/\" title=\"President Trump, Please Pardon Jon Woods, a Victim of Process Crimes Like Michael Flynn\">criminal justice system<\/a>, not tech companies.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover,\u200c neoliberal elites in Big\u200c Tech, the corporate media, and Parliament do not sincerely care about Brand\u2019s alleged victims because they do not care about women. The left endangers\u2064 women every single day by pushing policies and \u200cnorms that allow potential predators to enter women\u2019s public restrooms and prisons. When\u2064 women report feeling\u200c afraid, these same \u2062people intimidate them into silence.<\/p>\n<p>To \u2063the left, Brand is guilty of something far worse than sexual\u200b assault \u2014 something that requires no official \u2063conviction \u200bor \u200csentencing. Since launching\u200c his \u201cStay Free\u201d podcast, Brand has \u2064eloquently \u200cspoken\u200c out on topics like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/laid-bare-for-all-to-see-how-the-fbi-raid-exposes-deep-state-corruption\/\" title=\"\u2018Laid Bare For All To See\u2019: How The FBI Raid Exposes Deep State Corruption\">deep state corruption<\/a>, censorship, the war in Ukraine, and Big Pharma. Perhaps his greatest crime has been \u2064critiquing drug companies \u2063for using Covid to make billions off of ineffectual vaccines funded by the public and pushed by the global elites \u200bat the World Economic Forum\u200c who used fear of the virus to push for increased social control.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"vzWPFn6JDq\"><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Many are now saying that this video clip might be\u200b why Russell Brand is &#8220;being attacked.&#8221;\u2064 WATCH <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vE2n4ciyRf\">pic.twitter.com\/vE2n4ciyRf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Simon Ateba (@simonateba) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/simonateba\/status\/1703155215686373862?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 16, \u200b2023<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Make no mistake, Brand is guilty of \u2063 <em>thought crimes<\/em>, and in our \u200ccurrent social \u2063credit system, his punishment is \u2063Orwellian-style unpersoning.

Indeed, \u2062&#8221;The top priority of [W]estern elites is internet control,&#8221; wrote Glenn Greenwald in response to the attacks on Rumble.<\/p>\n<p>The Western ruling class is constantly trying to convince us that\u2064 we should not experience freedom \u2014 the freedom platforms\u2064 like Rumble offer. They guilt trip the public into\u2064 thinking it is\u200d somehow unethical to use \u200dapps like Rumble and X that\u200d encourage freedom of speech. They gaslight us when we discuss vaccine \u200binjuries \u200bor Biden family corruption, \u2064claiming that these things are &#8220;disinformation&#8221; promulgated\u2064 by &#8220;Russian bots&#8221; \u2063or lunatic conspiracy theorists.<\/p>\n<p>Authoritarians do \u200dnot view the people as individuals worthy of inalienable\u200d rights. To them, we are merely extensions \u2062of \u200cthe\u2064 state, and our \u2062lives exist purely to meet the needs and desires of the ruling\u2063 class. Anytime the regime realizes that it cannot control a person or <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/01\/10\/big-tech-oligarchs-collude-to-ban-parler-from-internet-and-phones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">platform<\/a> for its own benefit, it sets out to\u200b destroy.<\/p>\n<p>Rumble and Brand represent everything the Western ruling class fears: free expression outside the purview of the state. The regime is not afraid of Brand and Rumble promoting \u2062harmful\u200b or \u200bfalse information (the regime does that all \u200cthe time); it is afraid of them spreading the truth, which is why it \u2064will do everything in its power to obliterate them both.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<\/div>\n<p> Es the \u2062mainstream narrative \u2064or expresses dissenting\u200c views. They are the guardians of the corporate and\u2062 political establishment, and \u200ctheir goal is to suppress divergent\u2062 opinions and\u200d maintain control over \u2062the flow of information.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2063 case\u2062 of Russell Brand exemplifies this battle for free speech. Brand, a comedian, actor<\/p>\n<h2> In what ways do &#8220;guardians of\u2063 the corporate and political establishment&#8221; influence public\u200c opinion and control the flow of information?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  The guardians of the corporate and political establishment have various \u200cways to influence public\u2063 opinion and control the flow of information. Some\u200c of the key methods include:<\/p>\n<p>1. Ownership and control of media outlets: Corporate and political \u200celites often own or have significant control over major\u200c media\u2062 outlets, including newspapers, television networks,\u200d and\u2063 online platforms. This ownership allows them to shape the \u2064narrative and prioritize certain stories or\u2064 perspectives while suppressing others.<\/p>\n<p>2. Advertising and \u200bfunding: Corporations\u2062 and established politicians can use their financial resources \u200bto heavily advertise \u200ctheir preferred messages or support \u2063media\u2064 outlets that align with\u200c their interests. This creates a\u2062 financial dependency that\u2063 may\u2064 influence the editorial decisions and coverage.<\/p>\n<p>3.\u2062 Political lobbying and campaign donations: Through lobbying efforts and \u2064campaign donations, powerful entities can exert influence on politicians and\u2064 policymakers. This influence can impact\u2062 the formulation of laws and \u2062policies,\u200b which may subsequently shape \u2064the information \u2064that\u200c is disseminated or restricted to the public.<\/p>\n<p>4. Think tanks and policy institutes: Corporations and political elites\u2064 often\u2063 support and establish think tanks or policy institutes \u2063that promote their interests and produce \u200dresearch or reports supporting their \u2064positions. These \u2063institutions can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mainstream-media-and-big-techs-seismic-shift-to-the-left\/\" title=\"Mainstream Media and Big Tech\u2019s Seismic Shift to the Left\">shape public opinion<\/a>\u200d by generating and disseminating favorable \u2063information and analysis.<\/p>\n<p>5. Control\u200d over information sources: The \u200dcorporate and political establishment can exert\u200c control over official sources of\u200b information, such as \u2063government \u2064agencies or regulatory bodies. By controlling these sources, they can filter information and \u2062tailor \u200cit to their interests, limiting the access to accurate\u200d and\u200b unbiased data for the general public.<\/p>\n<p>6. Public relations and spin: Corporations and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/regime-attacks-on-russell-brand-are-a-proxy-to-fight-free-speech-rumble\/\" title=\"Regime's Assault on Russell Brand: A Battle Against Free Speech\">political \u2063elites employ public relations\u2064 strategies<\/a>, including spinning information\u2063 or presenting it in a way that favors their \u2064interests. They may strategically frame issues, \u2062manipulate statistics, or use emotional\u200b appeals\u2062 to shape public\u200d opinion.<\/p>\n<p>7. Influence over educational institutions: Elite actors \u2062may \u200dexert influence\u2063 over educational institutions, such as universities or research\u2062 centers, by funding\u2064 programs or providing grants. This\u2062 influence can impact the curriculum\u200c and research priorities, \u200dshaping \u200bthe perspectives and knowledge transmitted to the\u2064 students and \u200bresearchers.<\/p>\n<p>8. Surveillance \u200cand control of \u200bonline platforms: With\u200c the rise of social\u2064 media and online platforms,\u200c corporate and political elites have\u200c gained means to monitor and control \u2064the online discourse. This control may involve censorship, \u2063algorithmic \u2063manipulation, or the \u200dpromotion of certain \u2063content \u2063that\u2062 aligns with their interests.<\/p>\n<p>It \u200cis important to note that these methods may not be exclusive\u2063 to\u200b the &#8220;guardians of the corporate \u2062and\u2063 political establishment&#8221; but\u2064 can also be employed \u2063by other powerful \u200bentities seeking to shape public opinion and control the flow of\u2063 information.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cancellation of Russell Brand, fueled by anonymous allegations, seems to be a proxy battle by Western elites against free-speech platform Rumble.
