Russell Rebrand

Media Matters YouTube video about Russell Brand

That is one awesome video if you want a not too short and not too long rundown of how someone turns to misinformation and disinformation just for the money.

Oh, the obligatory introduction for those who by some chance don’t know who he is and haven’t clicked on the video.

Russell Brand is a washed up comedian and actor who is most famous for being briefly married to Katy Perry (2010-2012).  Besides the Neil DeGrasse footage of talking science with Katy, the divorce is the biggest proof that she actually is intelligent.  Russell has also managed to get himself under investigation for rape, sexual assault and emotional abuse.

He’s actually been decent in some decent films(Death on the Nile), but now his IMDB page is loaded with stuff he’s been spouting from his books and social media videos.  

And BRAND=33 in reverse reduction, so we all know what that means.

There are more ordinary, lesser known figures, who go through the transformations described in the MM video.  Hypothetically, you could have a decent “normal” job like working for a well known corporation that makes, among other things, medical equipment.  Then, you find gematria is getting money and attention from pretending you can predict sports results.  You wake up one day, and look in the mirror and think, “I gotta get myself a piece of that action.”  But you need a new, fresh angle.  So you build a calculator because these chumps use pen and paper and handheld calculators.  You start off by talking about spiritual related stuff like astrology topics and organic matrices and one day you’ve got a foot in the door.  Then, you get caught up in the new found fame and to keep the level of attention you got promoted to - how about taking a swipe at the Jews and celebrity death content that is getting the views in the sports pick world?

Something like that could very easily happen in a different corner of the multiverse.  Or maybe, it already did?!?

As we’ve been saying, today’s gematria grifters have not made up anything new that hasn’t been done before.  Brand is an example of how the process works on a person with a tad more fame than someone trying to start out fresh today.  The idea of gematria grifting existed in the Paul Foster Case era.  Alex Jones did all the heavily lifting on how to produce misinformation clickbait outrage porn.  And now we’re at the Golden Era of Grifting that is today’s internet.  The psychologically projecting, “Don’t censor my free speech because I’m trying to cover up the fraud” Golden Era.

I don’t feel guilty about “stealing” the fairly obvious Rebrand pun Abbie uses.  My post about cross pollination precedes this video, so without any evidence whatsoever I can claim she stole that from me.  In reality, it’s quite common for independent but like minded people to come to the same conclusions about an issue they’ve studied.  And sometimes the jokes write themselves.  And the spot we’re headed with this - Russell’s jokes weren’t working anymore.  The star was fading.  And based on the engagement measured by video views there are three Russell periods. 

It’s not fair to say distinct and completely changed at a single point in time.  It’s a timely process based on the method of operation.  That method, stolen from Jones, is to throw as much bullshit at the side of the barn and see what sticks.  Bad clickbait outrage porn slides off.  The good stuff goes viral.  Not permanently endemic viral, just long enough to capitalize on the gullible who have their checkbooks open at the moment.  Those that think that because they’re poor and miserable they have a chance to escape and strike back at those who they perceive placed them in their state of poorness and miserableness.  The artificially labeled scapegoat du jour that somehow you’re being willing to part with more of your money and you never receive any relief from your misery will magically be rid of - tomorrow.  Of the next day.  Or how about Saturday, the day after you cash your weekly paycheck.

Brand’s transformations are all encapsulated in his own story.  It works a bit different at the lower levels.  Those that deceive hope and pray to make it to the big time where millions of dollars flow in and they can ease back and laugh at the misery they’ve promoted.  But not everyone has the charisma and acting skill like Brand to get through a video that they know is misinformation without breaking character.  Jones is the master of spouting bat shit craziness while maintaining his composure.  Zach is really good at responding on the fly when needed.  Which also gives him the downside of occasionally going too far and getting flagged by the powers that be for crossing that line.  (Sadly, this is never more than a minor inconvenience.). And those like Derek…they couldn’t act their way out of a paper bag and rely on reading from a script to pull off the act.

Wherever they fall in the spectrum of acting ability, the cross pollination at the lower levels happens because to keep the numbers up for engagement requires the Shill Game or a crossover episode.  The spiritual guru who doesn’t focus on gematria is a guest on a synchronicity minded gematria host’s livestream.  The “Obama is the Antichrist” master posts a decode of the Super Bowl that’s now just days away.  The sports decoder calls up TFR to talk about urine therapy.  The Qanon influencer joins the weird shit in the sky master without ever mentioning what they think about chemtrails.  Ad nauseum.  There’s a lot of shit out there just waiting to be flung at a lot of walls.  It’s not a given, but the vast majority of time the shit slingers have just one single common point.

Give me your money.  Only I am the true salvation.  If my advice didn’t work it’s because you did it wrong and that is solved by giving me more money.
