FULL INTERVIEW: Russell Brand Takes It To Another Level and Goes Insane with Alex Jones

Direct Action and Reclaiming the Commons

The participants advocate for "direct action," such as occupying stolen territory and refusing to pay taxes or debts. Jones recounts how he and hundreds of others "took back" Barton Springs and Zilker Park during the COVID-19 lockdowns after police stood down in solidarity. Brand quotes Herman Melville’s *Moby Dick* to warn against the "carnival of brutality" found in the systems of the "ocean" and encourages people to reclaim their "birthright" of power.

Using the show *Westworld* as an analogy, the hosts discuss how people are kept on "neurological rails" within mental reservations. They claim Google Maps hides elite territories and encourage "direct action" by occupying stolen land and stopping tax payments. A satirical suggestion is made to "hit Bill Gates with Nerf guns" containing vaccines.

Dankula suggests that the government is panicking because it cannot withstand the force of a unified population. He criticizes Nigel Farage for being a "vain" operator who only wants change if he receives the credit. The segment argues that the "diversity experiment" has failed and that the government is now making minor concessions to placate the working class.
