"The 77th Brigade. It's very interesting that you bring up that's a unit of the British army. It's dedicated to informational operations and we know they had British public under surveillance. Professors like Carl Henigan under surveillance and you have them looking at his tweets what he was doing when he was criticizing the rule of six. This is to do with when we had lockdowns. So you have them essentially spying on the British public. This is the British army."
Guest reveals that the British Army's 77th Brigade, a unit dedicated to informational operations, conducted surveillance on UK citizens during COVID-19 lockdowns, including monitoring professors who criticized government restrictions. Leaked files allegedly show the unit's top annual priority was to 'kill Musk's Twitter' and that they worked with organizations like the CCDH to deplatform dissenting voices. The guest frames this as part of a coordinated censorship apparatus involving the BBC, government agencies, and tech platforms.

About this episode

In this episode, host Russell Brand speaks with a guest about alleged government censorship and surveillance operations during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing primarily on UK and US government actions. The guest claims that the British Army's 77th Brigade conducted surveillance on British citizens, including academics who criticized lockdown policies, and that leaked files show the unit's priority was to undermine Elon Musk's Twitter. The conversation alleges a coordinated censorship network involving the BBC's Trusted News Initiative, non-governmental organizations like the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), and direct pressure from the Biden administration on social media platforms to suppress content about vaccine side effects. The guest describes COVID-19 as a 'biological sequel to 9/11,' arguing it ushered in an era of biosecurity and citizen compliance similar to how 9/11 introduced mass surveillance. They claim mRNA technology, characterized as a DARPA military project, was pushed on the public through fear-based psychological operations despite early knowledge that COVID-19 had a low infection fatality rate comparable to severe flu. The guest alleges lockdowns were a 'scop' designed to coerce people into accepting experimental vaccines, calling it 'the greatest crime against humanity.' Brand expresses anger at being reminded of what he describes as deep institutional deception involving the BBC, British government, DARPA, and media organizations. The episode includes a lengthy promotional segment for NMN supplements, claiming the FDA attempted to reclassify the product as a prescription drug to benefit pharmaceutical interests before being successfully challenged in court.
