What I am getting at, is basically that he might be talking sense but sometimes a wolf can show up in Sheep's clothing,
at least that's my two sense.

What are you twits going on about?
Just offer the guy some support until he says something that you actually disagree with.
Or wait, are you disagreeing with his premise? If so explain..... if not then shutup already.

If and that's if this is aimed at me then let me clear. i never said people with money, i am and always will be skeptical of people who seem to only speak out when they have a film or they have an upcoming tour to start speaking out against the System. I never said to not believe him i said beware who you believe that like most politicians people on television and selling tours or any other media character tend to pander to people for their own reasons.
if he is speaking honestly and not looking to sell an extra couple tickets or fill more seats then fine that's good its time someone who can speak loudly in front of a camera does so but i have always taken things with a grain of salt and always will. but like i said, it always seems he only speaks out when he has a tour, film or book to sell.
again never said anything about the rich so if this was aimed at me then I dont know where you got that opinion of me but if its not, well just imagine this wasn't aimed at you,.

Not really aimed at you. Maybe the part where you assume he is doing this for publicity because he has something to promote. Since the Paxman interview many on ATS have decided he must be apart of some other twisted conspiracy. Possible to start a violent revolution to play into the hands of the elite. You know how people on here twist everything good into a negative.
The fact is Brand has done a lot of under the radar stuff that most people will never come across. He has done some great work with regard to drug addiction and how the current UK health system is failing those in need of real help. He himself was once a heroin addict and is now tee total, practices and promotes transcendental meditation and seems to be one of the few genuine good souls in the entertainment industry.

The super spiritual person conciousness awakened guru
Russell Brand now make 'millions of pounds' as a cartoon voice
in 'Despicable Me 2' in 2013 and other movie varoius projects.
Russell Brand is not a person of the People and Visionary.
His sponsors want the 5% and they will try to acheive the goal.
Why is R.Brand such a super awakening Hero .. since he made fools of some vile studio robotic cretins on MSNBC ?
if you want the rest of the story (and this is a piece of fiction if there ever was one) then click on this link and listen to Andrew Reinbach's interview with Rosa Koire. he didn't use ANY of the information collected in this 44 MINUTE interview. www.youtube.com...
I've looked at the You Tube video the poster links to above. Ms. Koire never denied anything I say in the article and never told me she would publish it on You Tube--whereas she knew I was speaking to her for a HuffPo article. That's probably not illegal--only underhanded. But she does in fact confirm that anti-Agenda 21 people believe that it's a plot to erase national sovereignty and private property--and that she believes this herself.....
This article was adapted from Pascal Lamy’s speech, “Whither Globalization,” presented at the Council for the United States and Italy conference... June 4, 2011.
...At the same time, globalization is blurring the line between national and world issues, redefining our notions of space, sovereignty and identity...
The reality is that, so far, we have largely failed to articulate a clear and compelling vision of why a new global order matters — and where the world should be headed. Half a century ago, those who designed the post-war system..
All had lived through the chaos of the 1930s — when turning inwards led to economic depression, nationalism and war. All, including the defeated powers, agreed that the road to peace lay with building a new international order — and an approach to international relations that questioned the Westphalian, sacrosanct principle of sovereignty ...
...To achieve consensus, we need to strengthen the system’s legitimacy by better reflecting the interests and concerns of citizens. This means integrating global governance into democracy. Presidents and prime ministers, congressmen and parliamentarians need to be encouraged to engage more actively in global governance and debates....

We live in a world of ever-growing interdependence and interconnectedness...
I see four main challenges for global governance today.
The first one is leadership...
The second one is efficiency, i.e. the capacity to mobilize resources, to solve the problems in the international sphere... The main challenge here is that the Westphalian order (National Sovereignty) gives a premium to “naysayers” who can block decisions, thereby impeding results...
The third one is coherence,...It is a fact: the UN is not really overarching, assuming this was the initial intention.
The last challenge that I see is that of legitimacy...
There is one place where attempts to deal with these challenges have been made and where new forms of governance have been tested for the last 60 years: in Europe. The European construction is the most ambitious experiment in supranational governance ever attempted up to now....
First, on the question of efficiency, Europe scores in my view rather highly. Thanks to the primacy of EU law over national law. Thanks to the work of the European Court of Justice in ensuring enforcement and respect for the rule of law. And thanks to a clear articulation between the Commission, the Parliament, and the European Court of Justice. It also scores highly from the point of view of redistribution policies...

The money and credit first came into existence when they created it. Mr. Morgan admitted that no United States Law or Statute existed which gave him the right to do this.

Anyone who thinks Brand has a clandestine, ulterior motive needs to lay of the conspiracies.
ABSTRACT
We find that transnational corporations form a giant bow-tie structure and that a large portion of control flows to a small tightly-knit core of financial institutions. This core can be seen as an economic “super-entity”
There have been a lot of mergers and buyouts of media and entertainment companies since the 1980s. Mainstream media has since become more concentrated in terms of ownership and the influences of advertisers and owning companies both have an enormous in how mainstream media shapes itself and society.
Mother Jones magazine reports that by the end of 2006, there are only 8 giant media companies dominating the US media , from which most people get their news and information...

President Barack Obama announced Friday that General Electric (GE) Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Immelt will chair the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.
The new council was to replace the Economic Recovery Advisory Board... www.rawstory.com...
...Immelt, who will now have the president’s ear in an advisory role, has consistently supported the same failed trade policies that have cost America millions of jobs. As the leader of one of the world’s largest companies, he has been at the forefront of the outsourcing movement.
“You would have difficulty finding a company that has outsourced more jobs and closed more American factories than GE,” Scott Paul, Executive Director of the Alliance for American Manufacturing writes. “While they have slashed their American workforce to fewer than 150,000, GE has dramatically expanded its global presence, now employing over 300,000 workers worldwide.”

India is exciting for American businessmen today: Jeffrey Immelt
ET Now caught up with Jeffrey Immelt,.. for his views on a number of issues, including the significance of 200 American CEOs landing on Indian soil, outsourcing and GE's plans for India.
Excerpts:
What's the significance of 200 American CEOs landing on Indian soil, exploring the big Indian market once again?
...I am a globalist. So I am a big believer that basically it is a win-win game of global trade. But strategically for the United States, a great relationship with India is a real prerequisite and very important and I believe the President sees it the same way.
If you were to think as American Inc and not just GE's head, what is it that American CEOs today can give India?
The biggest need that India has from an economic standpoint is infrastructure. That is something that the United States and companies like GE can really invest in - both in technology and also in financing and capital markets and things like that. In so far as that is the main trigger that can really sustain the growth in India, we can offer that.
Beyond that, we are good partners. The American business people, America Inc, have been good partners to global business leaders for generations....

Brand is a decent genuine bloke.
If you can't see that for yourselves you are truly lost.
Robert Reynolds
Brand is a decent genuine bloke.
Using his TV work as evidence, I find 'decent' and 'genuine' somewhat peculiar words to use in describing Russell Brand.
If you can't see that for yourselves you are truly lost.
What a transparent and weak attempt at manipulation.

The London School of Economics & the New Statesman
Two other abiding contributions of the Webbs that persist until the present day are the New Statesman magazine and the London School of Economics.
The London School of Economics, today one of the most pre-eminent universities in the world, began far more humbly. A bequest of £20,000 left by Derby Fabian Henry Hutchinson to the Society for “propaganda and other purposes” was used by the Webbs, Graham Wallas and G.B. Shaw to found a research institute to provide proof positive of the collectivist ideal. The LSE flourished and continued to associate with Fabian academics including Harold Laski, Richard Titmuss and Brian Abel-Smith.
Today, the Fabian Society and the LSE continue to work closely together. The London School of Economics holds the Fabian Society archives including extensive correspondence and early photographs of Fabian Society events.
The New Statesman was founded in 1913, the brainchild of Beatrice and Sidney Webb. With the financial support of George Bernard Shaw and other Fabian Society members...
