GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Did the despicable Russell Brand get a fair trial?

Highly Questionable Conviction of Russell Brand
The comedian and outspoken critic of official COVID-19 policies was found guilty of four grave offenses. An evaluation of what passed for evidence at his trial.

I’m sure that Russell Brand was an aggressively promiscuous man during the period in question. He himself has admitted it. Thus, if he had been tried for being—at this earlier stage in his life—a selfish, sleazy, and arrogant jerk, it would probably be easy to adduce sufficient evidence to find him guilty as charged.

However, it strikes me as impossible to draw conclusions—beyond a reasonable doubt—about allegedly criminal sexual behavior that took place decades ago, with no supporting physical evidence such as medically documented injuries, no eyewitness testimony of the alleged acts, and only hearsay testimony from the victims’ friends and colleagues that is ambiguous and fragmentary.

Regarding the accusation of rape—by far the most serious charge for which Brand was convicted—the “reported” text message from his accuser in which she stated, “you treated me like an animal” may be plausibly evaluated as evidence that Brand made her feel like a cheap article of consumption and discarded as soon as his lust was sated. However, this is not evidence that he raped her. If he did rape her, she missed an opportunity to document it by not stating it in the text, not reporting it to the police, and not having a medical professional document her injury. No medical documentation of the alleged injury was presented at trial.

*** and ***

If accusations and denunciations—with little to no supporting evidence—are deemed sufficient for sending a man to prison, then any man may be subjected to such accusations, even if they are baseless.

*** end quote ***

The lack of “evidence” is shocking. 

I’m all for punishing criminal behavior, but like the article says: 

In Book IV, Chapter 27, “Of Trial, and Conviction,” Blackstone wrote:

For the law holds, that it is better that ten guilty persons escape, than that one innocent suffer.

It certainly seems that this was a politically biased conviction.  Given that the Police don’t investigate rape gangs, perhaps this was an attempt to change the appearance of lax and prejudicial enforcement?

Given the media and police attention, it appears that this is a miscarriage of justice.

What is the English “statute of limitation”?

17 years is a long time to delay “justice”.

PEACE: WAR—that is, the life, death, and property of millions— I too expect DJT4547 to keep that promise

Wednesday, October 28, 2026

The War’s The Thing
I voted for Trump because he promised “no more wars.” Holding a man to his most important promise about matters of life and death is what self-respecting grownups do.
John Leake

*** begin quote ***

For readers who don’t understand why I have become so critical of President Trump, I will clearly declare it so that you can decide if you wish to continue reading my newsletter posts, which are delivered from “John Leake From Focal Points.”

  • I do not share the tendency to be “okay” with killing people and dropping bombs on women and children and civilian infrastructure.
  • I believe that the perfidy and odiousness of the Democrats do not mitigate the gravity of Trump’s broken promise.
  • I believe that war is the most significant, dangerous, risky, and corrupt thing a US president can do, and that his domestic policies are of secondary importance.

In the matter of war—that is, the life, death, and property of millions—I expected President Trump to keep his promises.

*** end quote ***

I agree that the Communists (Democratic Socialism is a fig leaf to conceal and sugar-coat the real agenda) are terrible.  And, all things being equal I will never, ever, vote for a D under any circumstances.  (I didn’t vote for JFK because, while he had some great points, it was at his heart a socialist liberal.)  I didn’t vote for Nixon because he cut the last link to gold and supported the actions in Viet Nam.  

There is no higher duty for a President, any President, is to protect the homeland and keep the peace.  

Bottom line: that is unforgivable. No matter how bad the other candidate is, he’s worse.

Argh!

HEALTH: Did the “clot shot” cause the DVT?

Thursday, October 22, 2026

https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/philadelphia-eagles-quarterback-jalen?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb3bbae64-93f5-4485-825b-ed2a048501ed_1607x1562.png&open=false

Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback Jalen Hurt’s Battle with Venous Thromboembolism
Lessons learned from another high-profile case in the national spotlight
Peter A McCullough, MD, MPH
12 hours ago << EDITOR ADDED DATE 2026-10-21>>

*** begin quote ***

Athletes and the public are facing a greater burden of venous thromboembolic disease since 2020.

The recent medical diagnosis concerning Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has raised significant attention. Officially reported by the Philadelphia Eagles, Hurts suffered a superficial extending probably to a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in his left calf that subsequently led to bilateral pulmonary emboli (PE). But his risks for blood clots may have started in 2021 with COVID-19 vaccination.

*** and ***

COVID-19 Vaccination: During training camp in July 2021, Hurts publicly confirmed to reporters that he had received the COVID-19 vaccine. While he was vaccinated in July 2021 and missed a preseason game in August 2021 due to an illness, tests confirmed it was not COVID-19. During other instances where he sat out or traveled separately due to non-COVID flu-like symptoms (such as in December 2023), he similarly tested negative. The Spike protein from the vaccine directly tips the balance of clotting and bleeding towards clotting. It is directly found in the clots themselves.

*** end quote ***

It seems that it has to be considered.

The Gooferment is NOT looking out for us; so we have to be very suspicious of connections?

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: UN votes to counter vaccine hesitancy as part of broader efforts against health-related “misinformation” and “disinformation.”

Wednesday, October 14, 2026

https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-153-nations-adopt-un-pandemic?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1119676&post_id=220212402&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=3snn7d&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

BREAKING: 153 Nations Adopt UN Pandemic Declaration to Push FAST-TRACKED Vaccines Within 100 Days and Crack Down on “Vaccine Hesitancy”

  • The dangerous UN declaration raises concerns that scientific censorship, lockdowns, and experimental vaccine mandates could be back on the table.

Nicolas Hulscher, MPH

<< EDITOR ADDED DATE 2026-10-13>>

*** begin quote ***

Buried within the nine-page document is a provision that should concern anyone who values scientific freedom, informed consent, and the right to question public-health authorities.

Paragraph 57 explicitly calls for governments to counter vaccine hesitancy as part of broader efforts against health-related “misinformation” and “disinformation.”

The declaration goes even further, explicitly endorsing “infodemic management” and a “whole-of-government, whole-of-society” pandemic response.

This sounds like more scientific censorship, lockdowns, and experimental vaccine mandates.

*** end quote ***

If “We, The Sheeple” should have learned anything from the recent COVID “scam-demic”, then it should be that Gooferment mandates are absolutely Orwellian —  a giant grift, to the benefit on the “insiders” of an industry regulatory capture of epic proportions, based on faulty biased science, all to give the Gooferment more power over us. Argh!

My thoughts are:

  • Get the USA out of the US completely.  (It’s an attempt at global governance that fails in every mission it undertakes.  It’s overwhelmingly expensive. And, adds no value.)
  • It’s “regulatory capture” by Big Pharmaceutical at the highest level.
  • It represents the exact opposite the little L libertarian goal —  peaceful cooperation among individuals.

Former Pennsylvania Funeral Directors Association President Christopher Calvey Jr., former Air Force Major Thomas Haviland, and embalmer Richard Hirschman joined me to discuss the now-widespread reports of anomalous white fibrous clots being recovered from human corpses.

Haviland recently published the results of a four-year international survey involving 808 embalmers across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand in a peer-reviewed medical journal.

Indeed, what else?

Could this be the reason for all the fatalities and strange symptoms?

HEALTHCARE: Shouldn’t the US emulate Denmark with respect to vaccines

Sunday, January 11, 2026

https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/can-the-us-emulate-denmarks-control?publication_id=1119676&post_id=183742515&isFreemail=true&r=3snn7d&triedRedirect=true

Can the US Emulate Denmark’s Control Over Communicable Disease?
Dr McCullough responds to vaccine ideology
from Peter Hotez on FOX Business, The Evening Edit
Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH
Jan 07, 2026

*** begin quote ***

Denmark maintains high control over vaccine-preventable diseases despite having one of the most streamlined childhood vaccine schedules among high-income nations. The Danish program vaccinates children against about 10–11 diseases, fewer than the 16–18 historically targeted by the U.S. schedule. Core Danish vaccines cover measles, mumps, rubella, polio, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae type B, pneumococcal disease, and HPV. The system omits universal vaccination for RSV, influenza, rotavirus, hepatitis A and B, varicella (chickenpox), and meningococcal disease.

Denmark has universal healthcare, a national health registry, and high compliance rates, which enable rapid outbreak detection and treatment.

*** end quote ***

I especially like the idea that patients and doctors can decide if a particular vaccine is needed.  Since individuals are different, everything should be subject to their specific needs.  We are learning that now organs are being created custom for the individual to avoid complications and rejections.  

We need more “science” and a lot less Gooferment “knowing what is best for us”. 

Argh!

PEACE: Friedrich Merz, Emmanuel Macron, and Keir Starmer are an extreme danger to humanity

Sunday, October 26, 2025

Trump Should Tell Europe’s Leaders to Shut Up and Cease Fantasizing About War With Russia
The globalist weirdos in Berlin, Paris, and London are an extreme danger to humanity. Trump should treat them as such.
John Leake
Oct 20, 2025

*** begin quote ***

What I am proposing requires setting aside all our presuppositions about Western Europe being the place of representative democracy, prudence, and reason. Anyone who has spent a significant amount of time in Europe in recent years knows that this is no longer the case.

If President Trump turns over responsibility for settling the war in Ukraine to Zelensky and the Three Amigos, they will likely create a July 1914 style crisis that will result in a general European war, and pressure will mount on the United States to settle it on the battlefield.

*** and ***

President Trump should not allow the Zelensky and the Three Amigos go down this same dark path. He should make it very clear to them that the reckless course they are pursuing threatens the security of not only their own people, but the American people as well, and that he will not tolerate this.

*** end quote ***

I would hope that @realDonaldTrump would put his foot down and tell these fools that he will NOT allow the USA to be drawn into a war with Russia.  I’m no fan of Putin but he does seem to be the only adult at the table.  The previous USA administrations have lied him into putting a stop to their provocations.  It’s time to “give peace a chance”.

Like Nike advertises, “Just Do It”.  

The best way to honor veterans is to stop making more casualties of war!

PEACE: Why did the great nations of Europe essentially commit suicide in 1914-18?

Sunday, October 19, 2025

https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/the-end-of-britain-france-and-germany?publication_id=1119676&post_id=176336559&isFreemail=true&r=3snn7d&triedRedirect=true

The End of Britain, France, and Germany
On the suicidal tendencies of the great nations of Europe.
John Leake
Oct 16, 2025

*** begin quote ***

Why did the great nations of Europe essentially commit suicide in 1914-18?

The answer, it seems to me, is the marked tendency of any society’s political class to be captured by interests and ideologies that have little to do with the interests of the people they govern. Apart from bankers and arms manufacturers, the Great War of 1914-18 served no one who lived in the warring countries. On the contrary, it sent millions of their young men—including their most educated young men—to be machine gunned and gassed in the trenches.

*** end quote ***

Gibbon said, “History is indeed little more than a catalog of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.”

And, it seems that humanity is incapable of learning from it.  And, organizing to prevent an out-of-touch class of parasites in Gooferment from becoming isolated from “the great unwashed” of “We, The Sheeple”.

Here’s some suggestions:

  • All politicians and bureaucrats don’t get greater than poverty level.
  • Select “representatives” at random.
  • Completely decentralize elections to street level.  All the neighbors on a street can vote and select a represntative.  “Streets” can be built up into “neighborhoods”.  
  • For the Federal Gooferment, repeal the Seventeenth Amendment And go back to State legislatures picking Senators.  (Just like the Dead Old White Guys wanted them to be the State’s Ambassadors.
  • No Federal laws or actions on people.  That belongs to the States.  No federal income tax; fund the Federal Gooferment by tariffs, excise taxes, and contributions from the States.
  • Strict Age and Term Limits on EVERY Gooferment politician and bureaucrat.
  • END THE FED.  And go back to using only gold and silver as money.  End fractional reserve banking.  (Hard to spend for war and welfare when you can’t print money stealing wealth by inflation!)

That should get the USA back on the correct path.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is unscientific and killing birds for no good reason

Canada Orders Mass Culling of 400 Research Ostriches Over Bird Flu, Refuses to Test Surviving Birds for Natural Immunity

  • Farmers face fines and jail time for seeking independent testing as the Canadian Food Inspection Agency fights to reinstate the culling order.

Nicolas Hulscher, MPH  —  Mar 11, 2025

*** begin quote ***

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has ordered the culling of 400 ostriches at Universal Ostrich Farm in British Columbia, citing concerns over H5N1 bird flu. However, this decision is not based on sound science and could have serious consequences for both food security and medical research.

*** and ***

Lack of Transparency and Scientific Process – Despite the importance of this research, the CFIA has refused to conduct further testing on the birds and has banned the farm from conducting its own tests, under threat of heavy fines and possible imprisonment. Why is the Canadian government refusing to study the potential antibodies ostriches have developed against H5N1 bird flu?

*** end quote ***

One has to wonder where the Gooferment gets off on its “wild goose”  —  in this case ostrich — chases?  

I can imagine a conference room fill of bureaucrats sitting around trying to justify their paychecks.  Hard to imagine ANY value coming out of that room.  

In the mean time, the farmers on the ground are in a much better position to dictate the course of action.

Argh!

I hate politicians and bureaucrats.

CORRUPTION: Must be a really small lab to fit in a Post Office Box

Saturday, March 15, 2025

https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/is-arpa-h-really-a-giant-biden-biotech?publication_id=1119676&post_id=158552758&isFreemail=true&r=3snn7d&triedRedirect=true

Is ARPA-H Really a Giant Biden Biotech Slush Fund?
Dr. McCullough with Liz MacDonald on Fox Business The Evening Edit
Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH
Mar 07, 2025

*** begin quote ***

Senator Joni Ernst wrote Robert F. Kennedy a concerning letter about one ARPA-H check for $28 M to Vaccine Company, Inc, operating out of a PO Box in Maryland. Ernst’s cursory investigation revealed Vaccine Company, Inc, is brand new, has no physical plant or address, and yet received a generous $24M payment from ARPA-H. Ernst points out that ARPA-H received an additional $1.5B from the Biden administration in 2022.

*** end quote ***

Certainly seems suspect.

1.5B$?

Must be a really small lab to fit in a Post Office Box.

Where’s the new FBI?   The POB had to be paid for.  Follow the money and hand out immunity to the “little people” until you get to “the brains”.

Jail is too good for grifters.
