Why Russell Brand Deserves Asylum in America

The Political Persecution of a Christian MAGA Patriot

“There’s a layer of respect, admittedly, for your truthfulness, but it’s peppered with hate.”

- Aaron Green, played by Jonah Hill, in Get Him to the Greek.

Have you seen the movie Get Him to the Greek?

It's totally hilarious.

I was surfing cable channels a few years ago and stumbled on it just as it was getting started.

I immediately recognized Jonah Hill from The Wolf of Wallstreet, and I really liked him in that movie and so that was the main reason I decided to watch.

Honestly, I didn't know who Russell Brand was at the time.

But I would quickly learn about him that night and really come to like and admire him.

As I watched the movie, I found myself liking the character Aldous Snow, played by Russell Brand more and more, because he’s wildly irreverent—totally off-script and unafraid to say the unsayable.

There’s something magnetic about that kind of raw, unfiltered energy.

Maybe it’s because I see a bit of myself in him (or at least wished I did).

I’ve never fit neatly into the boxes society builds—I question things, I speak plainly, and I’ve never been good at playing by the rules just for the sake of it.

Like Aldous, I’ve always believed that truth, even when it’s messy or uncomfortable, is better than the fake plastic version of life the world tries to sell us.

Anyway, the movie is a wild, chaotic comedy where Russell Brand plays a rock star spiraling out of control—half-mad, half-genius, fully entertaining.

He’s unpredictable, magnetic, outlandish.

You laugh, you cringe, you shake your head.

That was Russell Brand then.

But that movie, now?

It feels like a prophecy.

Because in real life, the system is trying to "get him to the Greek"—not for laughs, but for destruction.

And this time, the Greek is a cold, dark prison cell. Not because Russell overdosed on fame or made enemies in Hollywood, but because he found Christian faith and conservative MAGA values.

Because he dared to open his eyes, speak up, and step off the progressive conveyor belt.

You’re not gonna believe how far this craziness goes.
