Russell Brand

A toxic Brand
The biggest story currently distracting the British public is the fall of Russell Brand. American readers may not be familiar with Brand, an English comedian and actor who has recently reinvented himself as a YouTube influencer. He is currently the subject of rape and sexual abuse allegations, having been a notorious rake before settling into family life (he is 48), and opinion divided quickly into two opposed camps.
On the basis of apparently evidence-free allegations by four anonymous women, the Left are baying for blood, reminiscent of the #MeToo social media movement in America during the Kavanaugh accusations. The Right, on the other hand, suspect dirty work at the crossroads.
Brand was a rabid Leftist, expertly surfing the woke zeitgeist and becoming an icon, particularly among women, a great number of whom successfully tried to sleep with him. The man has clearly been in more beds than an orphanage teddy bear.
But now he has defected from the Left, and his YouTube channel is critical of Big Pharma and vaccines, Bill Gates, the military/industrial complex, George Soros, and many other sacred cows. When a British Member of Parliament (MP) leaves the Labour Party to join the Conservatives, or vice versa, it is called “crossing the floor,” referring to the floor of the House of Commons, in which the two parties’ MPs sit facing one another across a central divide. Oswald Mosley did it. But, as a figure in today’s public eye, if you try crossing the floor from Left to Right outside the Westminster bubble in the era of social media, you had better have money in the bank for you and your family, because you may find work hard to come by.
Brand’s ability to earn income was decimated in three days. YouTube demonetized him, the BBC dropped all content featuring him, his stand-up tour was cancelled, and both his publisher and his publicist dropped him. Brand has been forced to close a pub he owns as well as two of his companies. Without having been arrested, charged, and tried, Brand has been found guilty by a higher court, and all on allegation and rumor.
American courts use the phrase “hearsay” to dismiss comments made by lawyers deemed not to be backed by evidence, and it is appropriate here. Certainly, ex-junkie Brand’s sex life was a rat’s nest, and he has made a lot of trouble for himself by acting like a lewd schoolboy, but the infamous court which dispenses “trial by media” has sat, deliberated, and given its verdict. The really sinister stuff, however, comes when the government inevitably gets involved.

Member of Parliament (MP) Dame Caroline Dinenage is chair of something called the “Culture, Media and Sport Committee,” and that title alone should give pause for thought. Not one of the three areas within its remit is in the public sector; they are all composed of private business concerns. This should not be the province of government.
But Dame Caroline wrote to the BBC, GB News, Twitter, Rumble, and TikTok to intimidate — or try to intimidate, in the admirable case of Rumble — these organizations into taking preemptive action against Brand by removing him from their platforms.
In her letter to Rumble, Dame Caroline makes the following staggering request:
We would be grateful if you could confirm whether Mr. Brand is able to monetize his content, including the videos relating to the serious accusations made against him. If so, we would like to know whether Rumble intends to join YouTube in suspending Mr. Brand’s ability to earn money on the platform.
We would also like to know what Rumble is doing to ensure that creators are not able to use the platform to undermine the welfare of victims of inappropriate and potentially illegal behavior. [italics added]
“Potentially illegal behavior.” Four anonymous allegations and a formal complaint of sexual assault made to the Metropolitan Police are not grounds for the government to pressurize a private company to alter its policy. Rumble emerge as the heroes in this murky affair, although they have already lost advertising revenue and stock value as companies scramble to withdraw for fear of being tainted by association. Their reply includes the following;
We regard it as deeply inappropriate and dangerous that the UK Parliament would attempt to control who is allowed to speak on our platform or earn a living from doing so. Singling out an individual and demanding his ban is even more disturbing given the absence of any connection between the allegations and his content on Rumble. We don’t agree with the behavior of many Rumble creators, but we refuse to penalize them for actions that have nothing to do with our platform . . . [and] emphatically reject the UK Parliament’s demands.
Dame Caroline didn’t clear sending the letters with the committee she heads, showing that British politicians can now go rogue and act alone in line with their personal politics.
The British media has become a surrogate judicial system. The Crown Prosecution Service has effectively outsourced due process to journalists and social media gossips in the same way your bank outsourced their telephone services to India. Brand hasn’t done himself any favors now that ethical standards have been radically overhauled by the woke commissars, but his treatment is a disgrace.
Brand denies all the allegations, believing himself caught up in a concerted government-sanctioned effort to end his career and silence him. He hinted that the infamous Online Safety Bill — which I wrote about in its early stages here at Counter-Currents — was also a factor, and the soft totalitarianism Britain has been nurturing since COVID is beginning to harden. Think what you will of Brand, he is a coalmine canary for those who have shown a change of heart politically. Bill Maher seems to be going through a similar arc of development — as screenwriters call a character’s personal journey in a movie — in the United States.
If you are famous and find yourself crossing the floor from Left to Right, beware of what is on the other side.
Heartbreak hotel
This story exemplifies England’s assisted migrant invasion, containing every element of managed dysfunction. The day after the United Kingdom’s government insisted it was taking steps to cease the practice of housing illegal immigrants in hotels rented by the Home Office at taxpayer expense, it was announced that the Chichester Park Hotel would be closing so that the Home Office could house illegal immigrants there at taxpayer expense.
It is important to step back from these stories and not react emotively, but at my age I worry about my blood pressure. The staff were dismissed with a few days’ notice — they are often replaced by migrants — events and weddings were cancelled, and a company that has taught children to swim in the hotel pool for 15 years have now lost the facility, just as they were building their business up again after COVID. Red Cross medical training classes were also cancelled. In their place will be several hundred fighting-age men — there are very rarely women among the migrant invaders — who may well be free to roam around the pretty town of Chichester.
The immigration crisis in England is intentional and it will not stop. It is exactly the same in the US, where what is happening on the southern border is seen by the Biden administration — doubtless with Obama and his friends in globalist Jewry as the puppeteers — as a feature, not a glitch. In Britain, the inevitable friction between migrants and locals is already evident, and will inevitably reach the point where clashes begin. Then we will see the British police tear themselves away from pride marches, all diversity training will be cancelled, and the police will do what they dare not do to Black Lives Matter rioters, Just Stop Oil protestors, or shoplifters. They’ll start cracking heads. And they may have a fight on their hands.
If the British government was deliberately trying to goad the white British public to provoke a violent response, I am struggling to think of a single thing they would be doing differently. The Home Office ensured the Chichester Park Hotel had a four-star rating on the UK’s five-star system, three stars being the minimum requirement for migrants. They are given credit cards and phones, as well as accommodation, good food, and luxurious facilities — about all of which they will doubtless complain.
And for distraction, should these budding engineers and surgeons find themselves in idle hour, there is always the town. An English town is a beautiful thing: winding lanes and old shops, an ancient church with wild daffodils in the graveyard, an air of peace (for now), and of course the pleasure of watching the schoolgirls tripping along to school . . .
These people are going to keep coming because they have every incentive to do so. Who they are, no one can know. Undocumented, the arrivals are pointlessly fingerprinted and then it’s the bus to the hotel, like any other pampered tourist. The criminal elements will soon make themselves known by doing what it is that they do, and there will be many criminals. If you can afford to pay many thousands of euros for a Channel crossing, you could have flown to Britain for a lot less and applied for asylum through the usual channels — unless, of course, there was something in your past which made that awkward. So, a dinghy it is, escorted to British waters by the French, who hand it over to British Border Force boats, who then escort the arrivistes to their waiting bus and a new home: a good hotel in a historic British town.
As Jim Morrison once sang in a song appropriately titled “The End”:
The West is the best.
Get here, and we’ll do the rest.
Diversity sure is strength

Anyone who has spent time in London will know that blacks and Asians are not on the best terms. Even though young Muslims ape black street culture by acting, talking, and dressing like blacks, like those creatures who have evolved to mimic other animals for protection or food, the two tribes remain at war.
Peckham is a particularly horrible and very black district of London. As is often the case, a local hair and cosmetics shop is owned and run by Pakistanis. (Stock market tip, by the way: If blacks ever get reparations, get into hair weaves and fried chicken.) Blacks don’t seem terribly inclined to entrepreneurship, and perhaps that is why they worked on the plantations but didn’t own any.
Well, one day a black woman came by Peckham Hair and Cosmetics wishing to return products and was told that, although the store did not give cash refunds, they did offer store credit. In that coquettish way fat black women have, she went berserk, attempted to steal products, slapped the storekeeper, and began clubbing him with a shopping basket. He restrained her, at one point seeming to place his hands around her porcine neck.
She stormed out and the incident was over. Or so the owner thought. A video of the fight went viral, and very soon a phalanx of blacks had gathered outside the shop. They plastered the windows with messages which would be considered racist in another context, and various chunky black women made speeches, one of which managed to bring white supremacy into an event which featured a negroid and a Pakistani.
One of the many benefits of diversity is that it teaches us about other cultures, and there is much to learn. Firstly, ensure that you live nowhere near them, and secondly, observe that they don’t much like living near each other.
England’s green and racist land
There is a certain morbid fascination in watching the spread of “anti-whiteness” — also known as “blancophobia” — across the United Kingdom, itself increasingly a misnomer. The latest traditional aspect of white British life to be deemed racist is the countryside.
This is not a brand-new conceit. It has been simmering for a year, and an indication of how seriously the anti-white lobby is taking this latest example of racialized oppression is that it is being thoroughly investigated. This from The Daily Telegraph in March of this year: “The English countryside [Note: not the Scottish, Welsh, or Northern Irish countryside] will be studied by hate crime experts to establish whether it harbors ‘rural racism.’”
Academics specializing in British colonialism and hate studies have been commissioned to record the “lived realities” of ethnic minorities “living, working, or hiking in the country.”
It is true that you will see no black faces on an English country ramble, and that is one of the many pleasant aspects of such a jaunt. The implication of the blancophobes, as ever, is not that blacks do not choose to spend their time among field and hedgerow, but that whites are somehow preventing them from doing this. The first option would be to assume that blacks have no volition or personal agency, which the Left don’t believe blacks possess. Blacks are just dolls to the white man, to be placed in or excluded from any space he chooses.
Always anxious to sow racial division, The Guardian has added detail to this sorry tale of white oppression, citing a study that finds that the whitest areas of England and Wales enjoy “144% more footpaths than the most ethnically diverse areas.”
Might I suggest that this is because non-whites tend to live in cities while whites gravitate to more rural areas (and currently in ever-increasing numbers), and that one of the key definitions of a city is that it is not the countryside?
So, the inventory of racist phenomena grows by the week. Perhaps one day scientists will discover a rare sub-atomic particle which is not racist — but, until then, I suggest adopting the working principle that everything that white people do, particularly if they are insolent enough to enjoy it, is racist. I think that would be best.
Here’s to old England!
The Union Jackal.

Why are the British people so indifferent to their government-engineered replacement? America has a mythology of being a “nation of immigrants”, but Africans and Muslims in Britain!? Don’t the average people realize what’s being done to them (as well as all the problems diversity brings with it)?
With all due respect, I never understand this sort of comment. As an American who fully understands we are being legally invaded with the full support of our unlawfully elected government I am not exactly sure what anyone thinks we are supposed to do. People who simply protested on January 6, 2020 are now being jailed for dozens of years and there are plenty on the “right” who jeer at them for being stupid. Other authors here encourage us to “behave” for crying out loud. Exactly WHAT THE LIVING HELL are we supposed to do??? Any suggestion of voting correctly is laughable. Protesting has become ridiculous because of fed infiltration. Rather than scoff at our indifference, why don’t you pony up the answer? Or even an answer, a suggestion, spitball, anyfuckingthing!
And yes, I fully get that this was directed at the English. But if Americans can’t do anything, the English can’t, either. They don’t even have guns for Gods sake.
Correct. The English don’t have guns, and they don’t have a First Amednment. The Magna Carta is always held up as our great guarantor of freedom, but it has about three clauses remaining and one of those is probably about how many sheep you can keep. Immigration is next-generation civil war.
I’ve been saying Immigration = (non-military) Invasion since the 80s. Its horrific effects are plain for everyone to see. Race is visceral (as I’ve said here many times). There’s very little excuse for not “getting it”. And yet, most whites still don’t. That faculty of racial unawareness is exactly why we’re in this place at all; it’s what explains why Sweden and Britain import racial problems like America’s that at least we were stuck with as a function of geography and unique history. Love of ‘diversity’ has nothing to do with “a legacy of slavery” or “colonialism” or similar (morally irrelevant) claptrap. Those are just excuses to weaponize the superior virtue of whites against ourselves.
The real issue is a genetically underdeveloped white sense of loyalty to biological similarity. For all of history this was not a problem due to the good fortune of the past “psycho-environments” (the relation between internal mentality and external condition) in which our race had its existence. But it is now. Most whites (I mean, their genomes) are not going to make it; they will all eventually disappear into a mongrel morass. And even racially healthy white genomes will not make it unless their human bearers are able to form defensive networks among themselves by means of territorially ingathering, and then forming one or more white Ethnostates (and that’s just the start: the immediate years will be very much touch and go, like those of the Jewish Ethnostate; we will need to devote 25% or more of our GDP for at least several decades to military procurement and research).
But without white ethnostates our racial extinction is guaranteed.
I think it is fair to ask questions from across the Pond because it is sometimes hard to understand where the other party is coming from.
Sometimes I try to subscribe to a British streaming channel hoping to find some enjoyable White content at the end of the day ─ but it seems that anymore all I get is the same old Diversity TV, just with the Negroes speaking in posh accents.
We have a legacy of slavery, but for them this is very new, and I wonder how in the hell it happened. Why?
For example, I get slightly annoyed when Europeans seem to ascribe all of their problems onto Uncle Sambo as if the collapse of the U.S. government would magically make all of their problems go away. I think they do have to take credit for their own Pozz and for their own anti-Racist crusaders too.

I’ve never jeered at them for being stupid, but if they had any leadership at all, they were very poorly led ─ including by the Commander-in-Chief.
I was reading an article over at Unz about the history of the Right and it discussed various movements and George Lincoln Rockwell’s American Nazi Party ─ becoming the National Socialist White People’s Party shortly before Rockwell was assassinated.
Rockwell had been getting paid speaking engagements at University campuses, and important but hostile interviews in the corporate media. These are things that the Right puts themselves at peril attempting to do today.
Jared Taylor did this successfully not long ago at ASU ─ one of the largest public universities in the country ─ but I understand that it was done at an incredibly high financial cost to let him speak rather tamely. BLM and Antifa barely showed up to protest, but surprisingly the ASU President did not take any cheap shots against Mr. Taylor.
When Charlie Kirk and (((Dennis Prager))) visited ASU not long ago all the good people denounced them as “White Nationalists.”
Well, Prager believes that the ADL should vet historical speech to keep it safe and Kosher. The day that they let this guy into the WN meetings is the day that I’m walking out.
Some of the comments at Unz claimed that Rockwell was a Fed. For example, he rarely badmouthed J. Edgar Hoover.
Well, this lie that Rockwell was a Fed is put to the test if anyone has actually read Rockwell’s Legal Psychological and Political Warfare pamphlet. It was probably the most important thing that he ever wrote.
Rockwell was still working on this legal political warfare instruction course when he was killed. But most of it is available on the free Internet Archive if you look.
One of the points that Rockwell makes is that although the cops can be pigs, the best way not to be treated like a thug is not to [expletive] act like one. He knew this from experience getting arrested for protesting (even with a permit) and so on.
You asked what if anything can be done. We are not going to shoot our way out of the situation, of course. And the Magna Charta ain’t going to cut the corn either.
But we do have a First Amendment that for the time being is the law of the land. Its deficiencies are well-known, and mostly that we don’t always know how best to use it.
Rockwell had studied this problem for a long time and particularly why the Center-Right always lets us down. He had some truly innovative and non-violent insights into how to beat the System by understanding the system.
This is far short of a final solution but it was a brilliant start. If the protesters or the leaders at J6 had actually understood the principles outlined by Rockwell, it could have been very different. Baby steps, perhaps, but progress nonetheless.

This comment is probably from the conspiracist backwaters of the Right. It is possible that the 2020 US election was stolen. Certainly, all the incestuous Powers That Be were in full agitation mode against Trump (the Great Disappointment, by the way). There was concerted action by social media to go against Trump. Was there actual ballot chicanery that resulted in Biden’s narrow win? I don’t know. Maybe, which is why I wanted the Supreme Court to hear Trump’s stolen election claims. But maybe not. Trump was a decent (but by no means great) President re policy, but he was always a terrible politician. As a Rightist, I cringe almost every time I hear him, even when I agree with some stance of his. Given his narrow win against Hillary, it was certainly possible that he experienced a narrow loss against Biden.
That said, unless you’re maintaining that all elections since whenever – WW2? – have been essentially sham and controlled (by whom, precisely?), the Brits, like the Americans, have had multiple chances to vote correctly to save themselves, and they always forwent them. I worked for Pat Buchanan in the 1996 campaign, and he lost the GOP primary, despite being the 0ne candidate talking about the need for legal immigration reduction as well as border security. I’ve met tons of solidly patriotic, anti-leftist white Americans in other GOP activities and campaigns who just didn’t get it (that immigration termination was the most important issue of the age).
I suspect the same is true for the Brits. The UK is still a democracy of some kind. If the white masses were sufficiently enraged about immigration, something would be done about it (or would have been long ago). The English could have voted BNP in the past, but they barely did, just as the French could have started to save themselves by electing Le Pen pere in 2002, but not even a fifth were more concerned for their own and their children’s future than with being l’antiraciste.
The notion that somehow our dispossession and displacement are the products of our oppressors rather than ourselves (many whites grumble about immigration, but then vote based on other criteria) may be racially self-flattering, but it hardly jibes with the facts. Of course, one could aver that the common people are opposed, but that no patriotic leader wants to stick his neck out to lead them – until one remembers Buchanan, Le Pen, and even Trump (Le Pen may have always needed heavy security, but Pat didn’t have any in the 90s – I and a pal were actually his “bodyguards” at a few events – and I don’t know that Trump had more security than any other billionaire), not to mention patriotic politicians on the Continent.
Sorry, but our fault lies not in our stars or in our leaders, but in ourselves.
There’s a part of me deep down that wants to agree with this ‘we’ve only (mainly) got ourselves to blame’ story. Is it the Aryan race soul asserting its ability to control its own destiny? The problem is, this argument ignores the well known reality that the masses are moved not by reasoned argument but by weight of propaganda, which is ever more overwhelmingly in favour of Jewish Liberal ideas destructive to our further existence. No serious uncontrolled competition is to be allowed. This is why Russell Brand had to go, bcause he had a megaphone on YouTube. To the extent that we are now allowed any presence on the internet is it just to help pinpoint those to be sent to the gulag when the time comes?
If you want to doubt the left for ballot harvesting or anything else, fine, but are you really going to tell me you believe 81 million people voted FOR Joe Biden? That is a bridge too far for anyone on this whole damn planet to cross.
I completely agree that we have zero leadership on the right and what happened on January 6, 2020 was due in great part because Trump is sloppy and arrogant.
Believe me, we are not indifferent about the systematic reverse colonisation of parasites being facilitated by the Government regardless of political colour or stripe. We don’t have many options and what options we have are very limited in impact. I email my MP pretty much every fortnight and despite my specific questions I get a very similar boiler plate response that is generic and pays lip service to my concerns.
We’ve been gutted and it’s all been done in plain sight and the mass immigration be it ‘legal’ or otherwise is a managerial masterclass in moving people here and managing their every need. They (the nebulous ‘they’ because that is another of their tactics, they are faceless for the most part or untouchable for the majority of it) have a maniacal zeal in carrying out this project to dilute national pride, dilute the family, dilute the national and regional culture and atomise a population.
This is genocide of national and cultural pride. There may not be piles of bodies, but the result is the same – make your target worthless and dehumanised.
I wholly agree. But why didn’t the Brits ever really rise up and vote en masse for the BNP, when it was a rising party? Face it, most Brits probably don’t want the ‘coloureds’, but also just don’t care that much about preserving their people, nation and magnificent heritage.
Jonathan Bowden talks explicitly about this in one of his speeches. I’m paraphrasing, but essentially his line is that the majority of British people indeed do not want immigration, and never did. They would like it tackled by someone, but they find it vaguely distasteful and vulgar to talk about, and would not want to associate with, vote for or talk about any person who would actually get that job done. Essentially, they want it stopped, but want absolutely nothing to do with that task personally. Being English myself, as soon as I heard him say that, it resonated deep within me as something crystal clear and obviously true. Until that paradoxical situation changes – and, in all candour, I just can’t see that happening – nothing will be done and England will continue to buckle slowly like a tin can in a rubbish compactor.
Then England has met its ethnonational Waterloo. You’re doomed to extinction, your only hope for perpetuation consisting in the Last True Englishmen ingathering and seeking to carve out their own ethnostate from the UK’s carcass. That’s even sadder than our American condition.
Thanks for the Bowden reference. I’ll have to try to find that speech.
The BNP (despite it’s internal strife) was demonised from the very beginning and was mocked and ridiculed even though it’s core message is more significant today than ever. The BNP never got a fair hearing and to be frank, inflicted wounds upon itself. I also think that by the time Blair came to power and opened the flood gates, the height of BNP popularity or support was previous to that. Nick Griffen’s last appearance on BBC Question Time was in 2009.
Ultimately no one took seriously the intention and threat from Labour when Andrew Nether famously stated that New Labour’s mass immigration policy was implemented to “rub the Right’s nose in diversity”.
Not only did that happen, we’ve had 13 years of Tory rule (the first 5 years in coalition with the Liberal Democrats) and they (the Tories) have not only embraced this policy, they have sent it nuclear.
The strength of anger on this issue is far greater than it’s ever been and in reference to not voting en masse for the BNP, I think most people (demonstrably) didn’t trust them. They didn’t seem credible and ultimately failed.
The SDP are trying to make a come back. I’ll give them credit for this, they have stated on their manifesto to have a moratorium on immigration for a generation. This would have been unheard of a few years ago. The language is changing. The SDP have not a chance in hell of coming to power but, a few seats this cycle with a few seats for the Reform party and it maybe a base to build over 2 or 3 decades. But it’s very easy to make all these pledges when deep down you know that you will never be in power to execute them and be held accountable for implementing them or not.
But what do we lose in the interim and things will be exponentially worse very soon.
The other issue we have is the system itself. The 2015 general election saw the UKIP party (BNP ‘lite’) gain 4 million popular votes but only 1 MP. in the same election the Scottish National Party gained less than half the votes of UKIP and returned 55 MPs. Even when we do vote en masse for a pro-British and pro-borders party we do not get the representation it merits. The system is rigged against any national vote and that suits the ‘big two’ just fine and they are not going to change it – under any democratic circumstances.
So far the democratic process is all we have and in Britain at least, the plebs will not be asked anything directly in relation to mass immigration. The last time that happened the system was shocked to the core and they are not going to allow a repeat of it.
I’m not American so I have no dog in the fight but I don’t think Trump is the answer. It’s great theatre and I do enjoy the derangement and frothing of gums from the left when he’s even mentioned never mind given a platform. He did some good things with trade I understand and did some gallus grand standing with the fat boy from North Korea but it’s all show. He didn’t go after the Clintons, he caved in on the vaccine and he wailed about building a wall and instead visited the ‘Wailing’ one.
Thank you for your lengthy reply, but see my reply to Mark Gullick above. Whites obviously suffer from a genetic defect preventing our developing what are otherwise globally normal desires to preserve one’s folk. I still think the white race can be saved, but it’s sad to think that the nations, like yours, of at least Western Europe, with all their rich cultures and glorious histories, are fated to disappear.
Yeah, I get it. We are on a steep slippery slope my friend.
The reaction to the cancellation of Russell Brand by the so-called Dissident Right has been completely predictable. So many so-called podcasters and networks have outright said he is either guilty or they do not care. They do it for one reason: jealousy. They actually trust the MeToo cancel-culture system when it suits them. They want his popularity and leadership. Oh boo hoo he doesn’t name the Jew! He has moved more women and normies rightward and skeptical of the system than anybody else since 2016 Trump. These people have demonstrated they will not have your back simply because they don’t like you. These aren’t leaders. Russell Brand isn’t playing a character. His Hollywood career really is over. His name is ruined. Yet he isn’t backing down. If he was faking it before he certainly isn’t anymore because he isn’t the same LARPing revolutionary he used to be. He doesn’t have a choice. Not being able to see this is right wing autism that has plagued this sphere for too long and so many will never get over it. I’m sick of the purity tests. He’s one of us. I trust somebody who has lost as much as he has a lot more than I trust people podcasting from their basements.
There are a lot of fault-lines running through the dissident Right, and one is criticising those who don’t tick all ‘our’ boxes. We shouldn’t have boxes to tick. Leave that to the Left.
Covid woke Brand up. Covid woke a lot of people up. Thus our point is proven once again: the dysfunction of the neoliberal corporate-left system will redpill more people than the dissident right can ever hope to reach. The system does our work for us.
‘Racism’ is just the Miasma Theory of Illness all over again.
