Nolte: Russell Brand Tells the Truth About Democrat, Media, Big Tech Collusion to Hide Biden Scandals and Influence 2020 Election
Unlike all the left-wing posers in the world of entertainment who shamelessly toe the line when it comes to the establishment’s “approved” lines of thought and who then declare themselves brave for bravely siding with the government, big business, and big media, actor-comedian Russell Brand actually said something brave the other day.
“Did the media and social media conspire together to keep information about Joe Biden and Hunter Biden’s relationship with foreign energy companies out of the media?” Brand asked rhetorically. “The answer is: Yes, they did.”
Brand spoke this truth in a video introducing a clip from his podcast Under the Skin where he interviewed independent journalist Glenn Greenwald about this appalling collusion.
Watch below:
Brand’s comments align closely with what Breitbart editor-in-chief Alex Marlow exposed in his new bestseller, Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media’s Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption.
“Some of the most powerful people in the world, the Masters of the Universe in Silicon Valley — none of them elected, most of them anonymous — turned dials to increase or decrease the flow of critical information the American electorate needed to make informed decisions in the presidential race,” writes Marlow.
Marlow goes on to point out how the suppression of negative Biden stories (Hunter Biden’s laptop story is the most egregious example) and positive Trump stories were part of a coordinated, deliberate, and dishonest scheme designed to damage Trump’s reelection chances by misinforming the public.
Although he’s no Republican, and says so, Brand saw the exact same thing happen. Later in the video he says:
Look, I’m not a pro-Republican person. I don’t see myself that way. I don’t see myself as a conservative, or that I’m in a Trump or Giuliani or media establishments that were reporting on these revelations, they are not my cultural, social, or political allies. That’s certainly not how I see myself. However, it seems to me that what reason is Hunter Biden on the board of an energy company in the Ukraine? What reason is [Joe Biden’s brother] James Biden on the board or receiving payments from an energy company in China?
…
[F]or me, revelations that there are financial connections between energy companies in the Ukraine, energy companies in China, and the Biden family are troubling. That should be public knowledge. And it’s even more troubling that Twitter and Facebook and the media at large deliberately kept it out of the news because they didn’t want it to influence the election. What is democracy, then? It suggests to me that democracy is, ‘We want you to vote for this person. We don’t want you to vote for that person.’
As I’ve said … I don’t think Donald Trump’s the answer, but I’m sad to realize that I can no longer even claim to believe that Joe Biden or the Democratic Party might be the answer, because look at how they behave. And look at the relationships between media, social media, and that party. They conspired to keep information away from you because it was not convenient to their agenda.
None of what Brand (or Marlow) said is opinion. It is fact.
The New York Post’s bombshell reports about the disclosures on what is almost certainly Hunter Biden’s laptop, and what those disclosures reveal about the Biden family’s corruption, were openly and proudly suppressed by the corporate media and Big Tech.
Then you have all the fake fact checking (the Wuhan lab leak) on top of the flat-out lies (Trump called Nazis very good people) on top of the canceling and blacklisting and throttling to silence dissident voices.
Good on Brand for speaking up. Let’s hope some others in his field find the same moral courage.

Ur Mendoza Jaddou was nominated to run the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) agency. If confirmed, the pro-amnesty, pro-migration advocate will be in a position to fast track large numbers of new or long-standing illegal and legal migrants to citizenship and the voting booth.
That inflow is bad for millions of American graduates who are cheated out of jobs and income. But it is also bad for the United States, U.S. managers tell Breitbart News because incumbent CEOs prefer to hire compliant and cheap foreign workers instead of training the next generation of American professionals who could eventually create the next wave of disruptive technology,
Establishment Media Hide Migration’s Cheap Labor Bubble
The public’s rising demand for higher wages is causing turmoil in business sectors that have become reliant on cheap labor ensured by the federal government’s high immigration, wage-cutting policies.
Michael Kanell at Georgia’s AJC.com provided an example in the restaurant sector:
Jamie Oden bought an Amici restaurant franchise in Fayetteville which she plans to open later this month. To be fully staffed, she needs about 25 people. She has fewer than 10.
“We have been struggling to find help,” she said. “No one would even apply.”
She did increase pay by $2 an hour for some cooks and food prep workers. But her business plan called for paying dishwashers $10 or $12 an hour, and at that wage, she couldn’t fill those jobs. “I had people who applied and said they just wouldn’t work for less than $16 an hour.”
New York columnist David Leonhardt wrote May 21:
When a company is struggling to find enough labor, it can solve the problem by offering to pay a higher price for that labor — also known as higher wages. More workers will then enter the labor market. Suddenly, the labor shortage will be no more.”
But Leonhardt stopped short of mentioning the obvious — that decades of government-backed migration has made employers expect a steady supply of cheap labor, noted Kevin Lynn, founder of U.S. Tech Workers. Lynn added:
What he doesn’t do is talk about the impact of immigration … since the 1970s, immigration rates have increased, the number of non-immigrant [work] visa programs have increased, and what this has done is have an damaging impact on wages.
Nearly all establishment media outlets ignore the elephant in the room — the damage to wages caused by the federal government’s deliberate inflation of the labor supply with cheap labor extracted from Central America and many other regions.
That economic policy has boosted Wall Street by allowing many entrepreneurs to create businesses that can only survive with cheap labor. In effect, the federal government’s supply of cheap labor has created a bubble in the labor-intensive sectors, such as restaurants.
Each year, roughly four million young Americans join the workforce — and the federal government forces them to compete for jobs against one million new legal immigrants, many new illegal migrants, plus an army of more than eight million illegals and two million white-collar and blue-collar temporary foreign workers.
But in 2021, Americans are now demanding higher wages after seeing wage gains during President Donald Trump’s lower-immigration, go-go economy, and Congress’s free-spending amid the no-migration coronavirus disaster.
President Joe Biden and his deputies are rushing to extract more cheap labor from Central America and Mexico by opening many small doors on the U.S. border. That smuggling tactic reduces the risk that the public’s deep opposition to labor migration becomes an immediate threat to Biden’s administration. In April, for example, his deputies allowed roughly 50,000 migrants into the United States while allowing roughly 40,000 more to sneak across the border.
But Biden’s cheap imported labor is not arriving fast enough to save employers from Americans’ growing opposition to low wages.
Many reporters describe Americans’ 2021 opposition to their low wages without mentioning the federal cheap labor policy, according to the Washington Post, MSNBC, or Spectrum News 1 in Kentucky.
Ben Casselman at the New York Times, for example. wrote about wages on May 18 — but somehow ignored the federal inflation of the labor supply since 2000:
The first two decades of the 21st century were a parade of economic disappointments: The bursting of the dot-com bubble was followed by a recession; which was followed by a “jobless recovery”; which was followed by another burst bubble, this time in housing; and another, even worse, recession; and another, even weaker, recovery.
Reporters are under intense pressure from peers and managers to ignore the elephant, Lynn said. Journalists’ views are influenced by corporate power, he said, adding, “this corporatocracy is dominated by a philosophy where it’s all about the shareholders, as opposed to the employees.”
Leonhardt — and likely, many of his colleagues — know the immigration elephant stomps on Americans’ wages. Back in July 2019, when Trump’s low-migration policy was raising wages for marginalized Americans, Leonhardt pushed through the corporate pressure to write:
As regular readers know, I have become somewhat hawkish on immigration. I think our immigration policy should take into account the sharp rise in inequality over the last few decades. One way to do so would be to reduce, or at least hold constant, the level of immigration by people who would compete for lower- and middle-wage jobs while increasing immigration among people who would compete for higher-wage jobs.
History also makes this point. It’s not just a coincidence that the period of strongest income gains for middle-class and poor families — starting in the 1940s — followed, and overlapped with, a period of falling immigration. “Immigration restriction, by making unskilled labor more scarce, tended to shore up wage rates,” the great labor historian Irving Bernstein wrote.
Leonhardt’s new May 21 column ignores the role of immigration. But he carefully does not deny immigration’s impact as he focused blame on two other contributory causes:
If anything, wages today are historically low. They have been growing slowly for decades for every income group other than the affluent. As a share of gross domestic product, worker compensation is lower than at any point in the second half of the 20th century. Two [of the multiple] main causes are corporate consolidation and shrinking labor unions, which together have given employers more workplace power and employees less of it.
Pro-American immigration reformers are eager to spotlight the elephant in the room.
“Decades of low-skill, low-wage immigration had depressed wages and employment for workers on the bottom rung of the economic ladder,” former official Ken Cuccinelli wrote May 24 in Newsweek.com. Cuccinelli, who was the deputy chief at the Department of Homeland Security, continued;
It’s common sense, really; maybe that’s why Washington struggles to understand it. When millions of low-skilled illegal immigrants are allowed to break the law and compete for jobs, it increases the low-skill labor supply. Economics 101 tells us that when supply increases, prices—aka wages—decrease. Of course, many special interests want wages depressed, because it helps the bottom line of their business. But there is no question it hurts America’s poor.
…
For an example of how these policies helped low-income Americans, particularly unemployed Black workers, just look at a small Mississippi town in 2019. After ICE raided a chicken plant employing hundreds of illegal workers, the company had a job fair to hire legal replacements. Over 200 showed up—mostly Black workers—and the fair had to extend its hours to process the applications. Juan Grant, one of the new workers, told the New York Times he got a 50% raise to begin working at the plant. Grant’s experience is evidence against the notion that there are jobs Americans won’t do.
Cuccinelli hammered the point:
From 2016 to 2019, real median household income shot up by 9 percent, and fewer workers earned minimum wage than ever before. The lowest-earning 20 percent of households saw their real income increase by an average of 11 percent from 2018 to 2019 alone, more than any other income group. Thanks to a booming economy and a tight labor market at the lowest end of the economic scale, largely caused by Trump’s immigration policy, construction workers saw their wages soar by 6.1 percent in 2019, higher than any other industry, according to a Glassdoor report. Poverty hit an all-time low in 2019 as well, driven by record gains in Black and Hispanic communities.
The deep public opposition to labor migration is built on the widespread recognition that legal and illegal migration moves money away from most Americans’ pocketbooks and families.
Migration moves money from employees to employers, from families to investors, from young to old, from children to their parents, from homebuyers to investors, from technology to stoop labor, from red states to blue states, and from the central states to the coastal states such as New York.
Lynn offered some advice to Americans: “What Americans need to do is to look at their personal situations and say, ‘Wow, if we were to restrict [legal] immigration, how much better would that make things for me and my family?”
Watch: Democrats Push Amnesty Bureaucrat Through the Senate
GOP Senators will get a chance to grill President Joe Biden’s chief amnesty bureaucrat on Wednesday morning — and also to vote against her confirmation to the job.
Ur Mendoza Jaddou was nominated to run the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) agency. If confirmed, the pro-amnesty, pro-migration advocate will be in a position to fast track large numbers of new or long-standing illegal and legal migrants to citizenship and the voting booth.
The hearing starts at 10 am. Watch it here.
On May 25, the Associated Press described an administration plan for Mendoza Jaddou to help convert migrants into legal immigrant citizens:
The plan describes changes that reflect “a realistic assessment of our aspirations and limitations,” including more video instead of in-person applicant interviews, authorizing employees to administer citizenship oaths versus relying on federal judges, and promoting online filing to reduce processing times.
Homeland Security says it can be done without the approval of Congress, where consensus on immigration has proven elusive.
Taken together, the changes mark a complete break from the Trump administration, when the agency focused on combatting fraud and adjusted to shrinking immigration benefits.
Democrats are trying to give Mendoza Jaddou cover from Senate opposition by combining her nomination hearing with the hearing for David Chipman, the controversial nominee to become chief of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
“Mendoza Jaddou’s nomination is troubling,” said Kevin Lynn, director of U.S. Tech Workers, a group that tries to protect U.S. white-collar professionals from the cheap foreign labor imported by USCIS for Fortune 500 companies. He continued:
If her nomination is approved, all indications are she do anything and everything to speed the granting citizenship to new arrivals whenever and wherever possible. Under her directorship, I expect to see massive adjustments of status for green card applications, liberal granting of U visas and much more. Mendozza Jaddou’s work on immigration policy and her values will require the senators to ask numerous and probing questions.
Unfortunately, we are not likely to get that. One of the other nominees, David Chipman, the nominee for director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives will likely occupy an inordinate amount of the Senator’s time. His past gun control advocacy will be red meat thrown to the Republicans on the panel looking to pump up the second amendment bona fides.
Several of the GOP Senators on the committee support large scale cheap labor migration, including the inflow of many mid-skilled H-1B visa-workers and OPT workers into many skilled jobs sought by U.S. graduates.
That inflow is bad for millions of American graduates who are cheated out of jobs and income. But it is also bad for the United States, U.S. managers tell Breitbart News because incumbent CEOs prefer to hire compliant and cheap foreign workers instead of training the next generation of American professionals who could eventually create the next wave of disruptive technology,
The GOP Senators on the panel are Sens. Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), John Cornyn (R-TX), Mike Lee (R-UT), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Ben Sasse (R-NE), Joshua Hawley (R-MO), Tom Cotton (R-AR), John Kennedy (R-LA), Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN).
“This is a tragedy,” Lynn continued:
We need to better understand why Mendoza Jaddou is at ease with H-1B visa holders brought to this country by corporations to displace American workers after those very same American workers train those very H-1B visa holders to do their jobs? Why are programs such as Optional Practical Training (OPT) allowed to grow unabated when they are used to displace recent American college graduates?
Jaddou worked as the top lawyer at USCIS for President Barack Obama. She also worked as an amnesty advocate for a spinoff of Immigration Voice, a pro-amnesty which has gotten much funding from amnesty advocate and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
“Jaddou is a daughter of immigrants – a mother from Mexico and a father from Iraq –’ born and raised in Chula Vista, California,” said a statement from the administration. “She received a bachelor’s and a master’s degree from Stanford University and a law degree from UCLA School of Law,” the statement added.
In the Biden administration, Alejandro Mayorkas runs the Department of Homeland Security. He is quietly working to import huge numbers of foreign workers and consumers for use by U.S. companies and investors — and also for the Democratic Party once they can be converted into citizen voters.
For example, in May, Mayorkas has awarded or renewed work permits to at least 150,000 people from Haiti and agreed to let non-government groups choose roughly 7,000 so-called “vulnerable migrants” for passage through the Title 42 healthcare barriers each month.
Mayorkas also helped deliver at least 10,000 left-behind youths and children to their parents or work destinations in the United States. He also allowed roughly 40,000 adult migrants to escape into the United States by refusing to penalize migrants who are caught several times while trying to sneak into the United States.
Mayorkas has already rolled back numerous additional reforms by President Donald Trump’s deputies. Some of those reforms curbed the migration and naturalization of poor people who do not have the workplace skills or health to live without aid and welfare from Americans.
The USCIS agency manages work permits and the naturalization of migrants into U.S. citizens. The agency has much authority over visa workers, work permits for migrants, and the rules for naturalization, such as citizenship tests and fees.
USCIS also runs the little-known “Adjustment of Status” process that allows many migrants — including illegal migrants — to quietly get bureaucratic amnesties, get green cards, and then become citizens.
For many years, a wide variety of pollsters have shown deep and broad opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs sought by young U.S. graduates. This opposition is multiracial, cross-sex, non-racist, class-based, bipartisan, rational, persistent, and recognizes the solidarity Americans owe to each other.
The voter opposition to elite-backed economic migration coexists with support for legal immigrants and some sympathy for illegal migrants. But only a minority of Americans — mostly leftists — embrace the many skewed polls and articles pushing the 1950’s corporate “Nation of Immigrants” claim.
The deep public opposition to labor migration is built on the widespread recognition that legal and illegal migration moves money away from most Americans’ pocketbooks and families.
Migration moves money from employees to employers, from families to investors, from young to old, from children to their parents, from homebuyers to investors, from technology to stoop labor, from red states to blue states, and from the central states to the coastal states such as New York.

Exclusive: Jim Jordan, House Republicans Demand Biden’s DHS Reveal Criteria for Expelling Migrants
House Judiciary Committee ranking member Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) is demanding President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) provide the specific criteria it is using to determine which migrants to expel under Title 42 at the southern border, according to a letter first obtained by Breitbart News.
The letter sent Tuesday to DHS — signed by Jordan, Homeland Security Committee ranking member Rep. John Katko (R-NY), and Oversight Committee ranking member Rep. James Comer (R-KY), and addressed to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas — contends the Biden administration “refuses to disclose its criteria” for which illegal migrants it is exempting from Title 42 expulsion. It cites the administration’s “seeming propensity to weaken Title 42 expulsions authority” amid surging numbers of illegal migration.
Title 42 is a public health order implemented by the Trump administration’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) last year that allows Border Patrol to immediately return migrants to Mexico instead of holding them in the U.S. in the interest of protecting public health.
Since Biden took office, the administration has only allowed Border Patrol to partially continue using it through numerous new exceptions it has made to the order.
“Not only could these exceptions incentivize additional illegal entries in the U.S., but once paroled into the country, these foreign nationals can seek employment authorization,” the letter warns.
Read a copy of the full letter below:
The letter also references DHS’s use of undisclosed nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to help DHS with sorting through which illegal migrants to expel and which to allow to remain in the country, arguing the congressional committees with jurisdiction over immigration policy are entitled to a list of the NGOs helping the agency. “It appears that DHS is willing to provide more information about immigration policies to these NGOs than to the United States Congress,” the letter states.
In February, the Biden administration lightened the Title 42 protection by prohibiting using it to expel Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs), or migrants under 18 years old who cross the border without a parent or guardian. Then, in May, DHS’s Office of Public Affairs also noted a “humanitarian exception process” it was using:
As the United States continues to enforce the CDC Order under its Title 42 public health authority, we are working to streamline a system for identifying and lawfully processing particularly vulnerable individuals who warrant humanitarian exceptions under the order. This humanitarian exception process involves close coordination with international and non-governmental organizations in Mexico and COVID-19 testing before those identified through this process are allowed to enter the country.
The number of migrants receiving the Title 42 exemptions have reportedly vastly increased under the nebulous “particularly vulnerable individuals” provision and include illegal migrants who are pregnant, gay, transgender, have medical issues, and more.
The letter to Mayorkas requests “the specific criteria that the Biden Administration is using to identify and process ‘particularly vulnerable individuals who warrant humanitarian exceptions’ to the Title 42 public health authority order, and the names of the NGOs with which” it is working by May 28.
The request comes as DHS officials have been debating internally over Title 42’s implementation, as Breitbart News’s John Binder reported, and top officials at the agency are aiming to use the order less and less, eventually phasing out its use altogether amid pressure from groups like the American Civil Liberties Union and pro-immigration lawyers.
DHS did not respond to a request for comment on if it intends to answer the congressmen’s letter.
The CDC currently rates Mexico as “Level 4: COVID-19 Very High” and advises “travelers should avoid all travel to Mexico.”

Sen. John Kennedy Compares DHS Secretary Saying the Border Is Closed to Clinton Saying, ‘I Did Not Have Sex With That Woman’
(CNSNews.com) – Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) said Monday that the Biden administration is lying about the border being closed, contrary to video footage of scores of illegal immigrants sneaking into the United States, because they think the American people are “morons.”
“Well the Department of Homeland Security has announced that the border is closed, but they lie like they breathe. I don’t mean to be ugly, but they lie like they breathe. When I heard the secretary say the border is closed, my mind went back to that image of President Clinton looking the American people in the eye and saying, ‘I did not have sex with that woman.’ We know how that turned out,” he told “Fox and Friends.”
“I’ve been to the border. If you believe the border is closed, you believe in the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny and that Jimmy Hoffa died of natural causes. We’ll have 2 million people come into the United States this year illegally thanks to the Biden administration. They have no idea who they are except that they’re coming from all over the world,” the senator said.
“The Biden administration has almost completely halted any kind of deportation of people already here illegally. America has become one giant sanctuary city, and the shame of all this is that in addition to violating the law and being dangerous, it undermines legal immigration. Most Americans support legal immigration. I do. We welcome a million people to come into our country, and we’re happy to have them,” Kennedy said.
The senator said the president has surrounded himself with “extremely radical” people who “believe that vetting people at the border is racist.”
“President Biden has put around him – I know he’s a nice guy. He is a nice guy. I’ve talked to him, but the people he’s put around him are extremely radical. I mean they live in crazy town. They need an exorcist. These folks really believe that vetting people at the border is racist,” Kennedy said.
“They think that unlike any other country in the history of the world we are supposed to just welcome anybody who wants to come in without asking any questions, and the American people don’t support that, and President Biden knows it, so that’s why I say so many of his people lie like they breathe,” he said.
Kennedy said that people like DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas just want to keep their job, so they’re willing to lie to the American people.
“I know the secretary. Look, here’s what D.C. is all about. The thing that most people in Washington, D.C. want is to keep their jobs, and I’m sure the secretary wants to keep his job, and I’m sure he’s been told by the Biden White House to just say, ‘okay. The border’s closed,’ the senator said.
“And so many people around President Biden believe that the American people are morons and that they’ll just believe whatever they see on television, and they’re not morons, and they don’t believe it, because it’s not true. I think they know that, but this just shows you the contempt that so many people in the Biden administration have for the American people,” he said.
