Evan Slap Him!

Of course he can
but not on Newsnight
for feck sake

[Livia]

He has an open mind. Don't see the problem in that. Sounds ridiculous inviting Russell Brand on a show and then being surprised he doesn't say what they wanted to hear.

So what's the point having him on if he's not going to give his opinions on things? :conf:

[MTVN]

People may not trust politicians and be disillusioned with the whole process but he's dumb to suggest that the logical conclusion of that disillusion is to buy into outrageous conspiracy theories

Exactly, it's like petting a wolf and being shocked when it bites you.

:worship: I agree

[Jamesy]

I'm surprised there's a backlash against this on a UK show. But then people love to complain about things. If he said that on a show in America all hell would break loose. :laugh:

Trivial thing though. He has an open mind. Just like billions of others around the whole world. Or are celebs not allowed to share opinions and have to agree with the bandwagons...

Evan could have stopped that Topic
and told him not to tell the young " Not To Vote"

To be fair, he's never said that.

It goes onto Twitter
then goes Global faster

He fecking Did with Paxman

[GiRTh]

I am a 9/11 conspiracy theorist too but I think Russell should run for office if he want to take such an active interest in politics. He's starting to get invited onto American Cable shows for political interviews. Its stupid. Stick to comedy or run for Office.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Its such a stupid theory anyroad. Does he seriously think americans could keep that secret for 13 odd years, or any humans come to that?

come off it brand, get real and join the rest of us on earth

come off it brand, get real and join the rest of us on earthA lot of strange things happened that day which the US government has made no attempt to explain. Instead giving us an official stance that cant be true.

No he could not Handle it.

[GiRTh]

No he could not Handle it.He's been on the Young Turks network at least a couple of times spouting his views on the American media. Nothing wrong with having an opinion and expressing it but some cable political channels actually take him seriously and he doesnt seem to mind. IMO if he wants to be so active in politics then he should do something to back up his opinions

:facepalm:


yes 2000 odd humans died

is that not strange enough?

[Ramsay]

Was genuinely coming in to this thread thinking he was glad it happened or something. so he believes the conspiracy? okay then, so do million others. i'm kind of stuck in the middle tbh

is that not strange enough?Thats not what I meant but I'm sure you're well aware of that. I'm talking about things like the stock options that have never been claimed, the amazing 270 corkscrew turn that the inexperienced pilot who piloted the plane that plowed into the pentagon even though he was a barely able pilot, the lack of debris around the pentagon etc. Its all well documented if you want to take a look.

Russell Brand is incredibly smart, love his videos of the 'trews' and he's nearly always right tbh.

Yes he gets busy on USA media
but to run as a official
he could not do it.
Thats the best thing he says

Its not well documented its just idle speculation from spotty herberts and those who wish to gain status by pretending to know things others dont

[Crimson Dynamo]

and that video is beyond childish

[GiRTh]

Its not well documented its just idle speculation from spotty herberts and those who wish to gain status by pretending to know things others dontHardly 'spotty herberts' . There are three very good documentaries released aver a ten year period that explain the family of the victims struggle for answers.

Watching that again has bought it all back., Sibel Edmonds knew of the attacks but was ignored and her testimony before the grand jury was excluded from the 'Official ' report and at 3.13 the man who never existed is Barry Jennings a housing official who worked in the WTC7, the building in New York that fell even though it wasn't hit, just hours after the event talked on the news about hearing a series of explosions. He's dead now and people act like he never existed.

Many strange things happened on that day that have never been explained and little has been done to try and explain.

Heres the late Barry Jennings talking about hearing explosions just hours after the event. This man never existed and no one bothered to talk to him on the record.

And of course you being an expert on Aviation, high-rise architecture, new york city, american legal system, crash investigation, counter terrorism

You are well placed to make that call...

:joker:

[GiRTh]

and that video is beyond childishLMFAO. That video has so much content I'm surprised you're still so sure. What about Sibel Edmonds how do you explain the lack of interest in her testimony to the Grand jury or are you simply gonna wave it all away? Bush and Cheney testifying in secret, not under oath and off the record?

[GiRTh]

:joker:I'm no expert on any of those subjects but I choose not to wave away a fair amount of legitimate evidence as 'spotty herberts'
