The dominoes are starting to fall, but I get the feeling they're only arresting people now as a form of damage control and not due to some high-minded reason, like seeking justice and accountability. Had the Epstein Files not been released, then I don't believe anyone would have been arrested. There is a lot more to come out yet, I'm sure. What has been released in the US is only a small proportion of what they have, and they appear to be redacting the files to protect suspects, not victims.

Royal Lodge Search
Police searching Royal Lodge, the home of Andrew for the last 20 years, seem to be concentrating on a building next to the main house. I wonder what is of interest in there?

The Andrew, Formerly Known As Prince, Arrested
About time, this has been like watching paint dry. Looking up the last time a royal was actually arrested, you've got to go back to Charles I, who lost his head.

Walls Closing In
The former prince, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, may yet have to answer questions put to him by the US over what he knows about Jeffrey Epstein and his victims. The latest batch of Epstein Files, available to anyone online, are truly horrifying.
Keir Starmer has said Andrew Mounbatten-Windsor should testify before the US Congress about his links to the late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The prime minister, who is in Japan for a meeting with its premier, Sanae Takaichi, was asked by journalists if the former prince should apologise to the disgraced financier’s victims and give evidence about what he knew about his crimes.
Mounbatten-Windsor, who was stripped of his titles last year amid the fallout from his friendship with the billionaire, features heavily in the latest tranche of Epstein files, released on Friday by the US justice department.

Epstein Files Release
As expected the files just released are heavily redacted. This issue won't go away as it crosses political dividing lines, the cabal have a real problem over this.

Mr Andrew Mountbatten Windsor
Yes, indeed, Andrew is no longer a prince. Can the King do this? Probably he can, using letters patent. However, he probably cannot remove Andrew from the Line of Succession, that would require laws be passed through several parliaments around the world. By all means correct me on this.

Prince Andrew Stripped
Somewhat of a surprise this; Prince Andrew has lost his titles and will henceforth be called Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. He will also lose his residence, Royal Lodge.
However, this does bring with it the risk that Andrew could now put out a tell-all book, dropping the firm in it. Charles must be of the view that Andrew won't do that, or that Andrew doesn't have any dirt.
Hmm.

Piers Morgan Interviews Virginia Giuffre's Lawyer
Piers Morgan has conducted quite a sensitive but still somewhat searching interview of Virginia Giuffre's lawyer, David Boies. I found it interesting that he had a senior partner with his firm, spend almost all of their time for years working on the case. They were very thorough, and proved Ms Giuffre's claims.

Mysterious Deaths
I had no idea, but it appears there is a long list of those associated with Jeffrey Epstein who wound up dead. What are the odds?

Virginia Giuffre
It was upsetting to hear of the passing of Virginia Giuffre (nee Roberts), the woman trafficked and abused by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
In 2022 she received a substantial out of court settlement from Prince Andrew. But since, the personal attacks on her became even more unhinged.

More Scandal
With the latest revelations surrounding Prince Andrew's contact with and activities with Jeffrey Epstein, it is about time the British handed him over to the FBI for a formal interview. The email Epstein sent is really quite telling, it used the words "...we'll play some more soon!!!

Prince Andrew Settles
Prince Andrew had to settle with Virginia Giuffre, he really had no other option. If he didn't settle, then he'd have to give evidence under oath and if he lied then he could go to jail for perjury. We know that Andrew doesn't interview well, so that's that.
Spare a thought for Ms Giuffre, it took great courage and stamina for her to see this through.

Prince Andrew, Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein
With Ghislaine Maxwell being found guilty, the pressure must really be on all those who took the bait and were subsequently blackmailed by the Epstein/Maxwell sting operation. Should Prince Andrew be worried? According to this latest story, the answer is yes: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10380333/Key-witness-Ghislaine-Maxwells-trial-waives-anonymity-makes-sensational-new-claim.html
But there are some obvious questions which don't seem to be asked about this whole affair. In the below videos, Eric Weinstein has very clear headedly outlined what questions need to be asked. Recorded some time ago, the points he raises are still valid.

Jeffrey Epstein: A Construct?

The Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein Matter
We know Jeffrey Epstein is a convicted sex offender and that he died in jail while awaiting trial. This photo was taken after Epstein was released, so why would Prince Andrew be seen in public talking to this man? It simply beggars belief. Addressing this, I can speculate what I think Prince Andrew was thinking.
Epstein was a clever manipulator, of that there can be no doubt. Rumours persist that his whole operation was a front for a honey trap run by Israeli intelligence. I have no idea whether this intelligence link is true or not, but one obvious question is how Epstein got away with his crimes for so long.
How would Prince Andrew get involved? This is my thinking; Epstein told him he was a key part of a top secret Israeli/CIA/MI6 operation. Being the forgotten brother of a future King, he jumped at the chance to be relevant and got involved. This was a trap of course as once Andrew committed a crime, Epstein effectively owned him.
Then we fast forward to the photo. Still believing the story Epstein had spun, Andrew is taken for a walk through Central Park after being told by Epstein that they couldn't talk inside, the place was bugged (which it was, by Epstein himself). This was to ensure a photo could be taken in public of Epstein with Andrew. More ammunition to use against Andrew if needed.
My version of events explains how this could have happened. Prince Andrew is not the sharpest in the tool box, while Epstein was a master manipulator. This also explains why I think the Queen will never give her son up. Andrew will have said to her that he was working for MI6 or whatever, and hearing this she'd protect her son at all costs.
What do you think?
