Watched the Netflix documentary on him last night, it is just horrific what happened, especially if you have daughters.

The American justice system was an absolute joke and the celebrities being mentioned makes you wonder?

As with the racism issue in the US, the silence is the problem.

Those who are accusing everyone who ever met Epstein of criminal activities are probably taking things too far. I would imagine that a lot of them didn't ask enough questions about the ages of the girls at his island home and just gave him the benefit of the doubt about a lot of stuff because of who he was.

The same happened to an extent with Jimmy Savile. I think very few people were directly involved in his crimes but a hell of a lot saw or heard things that they could have reported but didn't.

Andrew is safe as houses, legally speaking anyway, so long as he stays in the UK - it's questionable as to whether he's actually broken any laws. Even if he did have sex with Virginia Roberts she was above the age of consent at the time - and he can just plead ignorance with regard to the trafficking element.

He's naive and stupid enough to believe that she was actually in to him.

I believe trafficking in this case (illicit sexual purposes) was not specifically legislated against by the UK until 2003.

Which, rather conveniently, is a "get out of jail" (pun intended) card on the pleading ignorant of the Law scenario in respect of an alleged 2001 occurence.

think during these times Rasta with an election coming up and the timing of her arrest (the FBI,CIA knew where she was all along) means there are other powerful people at work here and she will be well protected.she obviously know's enough to implicate certain folk in power that others who's businesses and profits are being effected by certain sanctions being implemented willy nilly are less than happy. money and wealth and power are all that concerns them so you you might have two factions here one to protect her and one who might not want her to ever testify.
after one or the other gets what they want what happens to her is another thing.

aaaaaaaaaargh Johnny Rotten blew the whistle on savile in 1978 in a BBC interview and they removed it and effectively banned him but never officially,so what you have to think about is here you had a young man just a few years into the music business and some involvement with the BBC and he either knew or had heard the rumours. it makes you wonder how the Biased Broadcasting Company have lasted this long or does it?

I remember Esther Rantzen saying that there were rumours about Savile at the BBC, in the music industry, in Fleet Street, even in the NHS. But nothing was done. She defended her own inaction on the basis that it was just a rumour, which would not stand up in court.

That was a similar defence to the one used by the newspapers when it all came to light. But we all know that the newspapers have published plenty of stories that were based on the flimsiest of evidence, so why the silence on Savile?

They were all happy to publish photos of him running from John O' Groats to Lands End, but not a word about the goings-on in his caravan at night.

Were powerful people enforcing silence? This is one conspiracy theory that seems to have very solid legs.

If Ms Maxwell meets an untimely death then we will know with some certainty that there are powerful and sinister forces at work.

She could have reported her concerns to very top management in confidence.

Her high profile status within the BBC would have allowed her such access.

Then she could claim she had discharged her responsibility at least.

I would imagine Savile had friends in higher places than just the head of the BBC, with his closeness to people like Prince Charles, his annual new years eve invite to Chequers from Margaret Thatcher. I would imagine he was able to groom and present victims to those that needed them. His list of Honours is quite impressive, Knighthood, Papal Knighthood, Knight of Malta.

Maxwell's father was very well regarded by Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service. I am sure that is one reason he was never effectively called to account for his financial cheating.

Whether Mossad's protection extends to his daughter is less certain. Technically she is not even Jewish but given the eulogy made at Maxwell's funeral by the Israeli PM I would suspect she is someone that they would feel obliged to help.

Both the Israeli president at the time, Ireland's Chaim Herzog and PM Yitzhak Rabin eulogised him at his funeral. The latter actually said something 'he has done more for Israel than can be said today'.
I dare say Maxwell also made some connections when he served as a Labour MP under Harold Wilson for six years.

The ex-jewel robber, who used the pseudonym William Steel, said they 'forced' him to watch the footage as they wanted to convince him of their 'power'.

He also claimed to have seen clips of 'celebrities' and 'world figures' having 'threesomes, even orgies' with minors.

Really Rasta, is there no end to this daftness? You continue to drop this insane QAnon nonsense on here no doubt hoping to impress us with your incredible insight. How many times have such posts from you turned out to be utter piffle?

Too many times to count.

A couple of quick observations. I don't know if little St James was ever a military base, but I do know with some certainty that it would never accommodate a submarine port.

You don't have to go any further than looking at the satellite feature on Google Maps to confirm that the island has a small finger jetty with a shed on the end of it. The jetty has room to accommodate a couple of 60 ft launches and maybe a few dinghies. It has neither the length nor the depth to take a submarine.

Perhaps there's a secret submarine base hidden in the cliffs around the island?

Perhaps not. I have a Navionics app on my phone from which I can extract navigation charts of anywhere in the world in very fine detail. I took a look at the island and it is skirted on its northern shores by shallow beaches and to the south, treacherous rocky outcrops.

Submarines would not come within miles of the island.

As for Joe Biden owning an island... Do a search online for his current assets. It is all readily available. Categorically no island.

Sounds like a normal docking jetty - pretty much standard on small islands for shallow draft craft.

As for the submarine - most likely one of those small submersible types with glass bottoms that you see in holiday resorts to let tourists observe underwater life.

Most likely that's what Epstein kept for impressing guests.

They have limited diving capabilities.

I doubt if Ms. Maxwell owns a submarine company - she has a licence to operate submersibles, probably connected to her involvement with TerraMer ?

You will have to establish what a ‘paedo’ is first before they are jailed. The simple definition would be a person who has sexual relations with a young person that is below the age of consent. However the age of consent varies from country to country. In Germany and Italy it is 14; in Philippines 12; in Japan 13; in Bahrain 21.

Jet setters and cruise launch socialites such as Epstein and Maxwell may well have been aware of this when arranging their various parties.

However our ever compliant media have not reported his presence far less his name. The Queen and Prince Philip were name checked but not him. I would anticipate an announcement of a health problem in the near future which will restrict his public appearances and travel.

VEE,

Later reports I read said, 'It was believed he was in attendance.' There is also a photo of him in a car probably driving to the 'secret' ceremony. The media have presumably been asked to play down Randy Andy's (as he was once gleefully tagged by the UK tabloids) attendance at his daughter's wedding and have complied. No photo of the happy bride being handed over by dad.

Was this wedding not, about a year back, being touted as a big TV event? Or maybe I've mixed up my royal weddings.

Aye, the daughter who got married must be hugely pissed by the low-key media coverage of her wedding. A year or so ago, her sister had the full "royal wedding" treatment with live TV coverage of the "event" and adoring crowds in the streets.

The majority of Aussies were bemused that one of our TV channels gave over about eight hours to that wedding. The same channel had nothing of the wedding yesterday.

John Oliver had a good point in conspiracy theories in that human nature says big events need big causes (I work in risk and I know for a fact small causes lead to big events) and used the example; JFK death of a president needs a big cause so a lone dead assassin cannot be the answer so conspiracy agogo. Counter that to attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan - no dead president & the suspect apprehended so there are no conspiracy theories at all.

I quite enjoy a conspiracy theory but my two main beefs are (1) those that accept all conspiracies as fact are tools that allow real conspiracies to be consumed & hidden in the vastness of nonsense (which is dangerous) and
(2) they often don’t attach any discerning reasoning instead leaning on an outsider personality type and thinking all things ‘establishment’ are conspiracy (and by extension just because you are famous you are inherently evil). Perfect example will be the same people screaming a few years ago that we are under the boot of big oil will now say green power and electric transport is a scam to make the wealthy wealthier or Ellen/Tom Hanks nonsense (but if you disagree you are sheeple etc etc).

The John Oliver piece did conclude you can never use logic or evidence to change their minds - he did lean into using reason and empathy but I prefer to just enjoy it as entertainment 🤷🏻‍♂️.

With so many conspiracy theories common sense seems to go out the window. A recent one on here was that Boris Johnson wasn't as ill as the MSM was making out. In fact some didn't believe he was even in hospital. For that to be the case there would have to have been an inconceivable degree of collusion involving politicians, civil servants, medical staff, media etc, many of whom would have had no motive in pretending he was ill. Any sensible person would have dismissed the theory he wasn't seriously ill as nonsense but that didn't prevent a few subscribing to it.

Agreed Eck. Johnson was certainly ill, whether by Covid or something else, and he has not looked the full shilling since. He looks a shaken man. His judgment has since been impaired in my view.

But don't underestimate the ability of those in power to create their own narrative. The term 'conspiracy theorist' 'was actually created by elements in US government who were trying to dampen down resistance to the Warren Report: i.e. that Lee Oswald shot Kennedy. It worked up to a point but even today, a half century after the event, about 50% of the people do not believe the narrative. So it was not such a success. In fact the Warren Report was widely viewed as a whitewash at the time.

Sometimes the conspiracy theorist are correct. For example there was a secret plan to close down the UK mining industry which was what the conspiracist Scargill claimed in 1983. He has been proved right. Yet you won't find many today agreeing with that. Even if they do, they will clam it was Scargill's fault! So even when conspiracies happen, you can offload the blame on to the victims. Long live Lee Harvey Oswald.

I see a direct corollary between the conspiracy theories in relation to Tom Hanks, Oprah Winfrey and Ellen Degeneres and the fact that all three were vocal supporters of Barack Obama.

As said earlier, the claim that Wayfair is trafficking children is based almost entirely on one person’s confusion over an expensive cabinet. Absolutely no credible evidence has been offered to back up this accusation.

Am I the only one that read her statements:
"Prince Andrew was just another job"
"I got paid $1000 which is was more than what I thought anybody at my young age could make for a couple days of work"

"job"?
"paid"?
"work"?

She is/was clearly a self-professed prostitute.

(depending on your morals) nothing wrong with that - it was her choice, after all

- the current screams of 'trafficked sex-slave' are just nonsense.

- young pretty girls have always been tempted/swayed by money/gifts/travel/drugs/glamour, it's not nice, and I would be devastated if it were my daughters, but unless they are under 16, it's not a crime (in UK...)

Epstein was silenced bcs he knew too much,
surprised Maxwell hasn't been 'suicided' yet...

One of the locations and years mentioned in this sordid mess was Epstein's ranch near Santa Fe in 2001.

Ms. Roberts was 17 then - which is the age of consent in New Mexico.

The age of consent across the continental USA and its territories in not consistent and historically has necessitated Federal legislation to prevent transportation of minors across state lines to avoid local laws.

This is the real problem area - so many differing variables across national and international jurisdictions when it comes to laws on sexual relationships and associated offences.

Incredible as it seems - the reports on the NM story made no direct allegation of sex between Ms. Roberts and Prince Andrew.

If there were a violation of state law on prostitution then it would be down to NM to press charges on those grounds- not the Federal authorities.

On the wider picture it appears that the Feds were intent on charging Epstein on more modern trafficking legislation - whereas they now plan to use the much older Mann Act to convict the "lady" Ghislaine.

My sins are many and varied - but a sexual predeliction for children is absolutely not one of them, with numerous background checks over 50 years (civilian and military) which clear me to work with children and vulnerable adults.

Surely the point is that the ANYONE, regardless of age could be manipulated by the likes of Epstein? We're manipulated every single day but it's not considered a crime.

In the case of Prince Andrew I would expect the only crime that can be brought against him is (allegedly) having sex with a prostitute. She was above the age of consent, didn't attempt to stop what allegedly happened and accepted money for it. Legally, there's little wrong but morally it is very, very wrong in my opinion.

Technically not a paedophile but surely have to have suspicion about guys in their 30s hanging around teenage girls.

Replace manipulation by recruitment.

The crux of the matter is the degree of willingness she exercised in the process.

She must have been very niave to be taken in, and looking at her troubled background it would appear she would "have" been sufficiently street smart to recognise that Epstein and Maxwell were not philanthropic benefactors.

Meanwhile this recent report appears to have slipped under the radar.

A classy response VE.

Prince Andrew's story certainly seems to be on the brink of falling apart. I know it was twenty years ago but surely there must be some record to definitively say if he was in the UK, like he insists, or that he was Stateside like is alleged on the night in question.

And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

Apparently his whereabouts, based on bodyguard "bullet catchers" location duty records for that period no longer exist.

After Prince Andrew claimed he was at Pizza Express in Woking with his daughters that day two things surprised me. Firstly, that no one from the restaurant, either staff or customers, came forward to confirm his claim and, secondly, that the media apparently made no attempt to find someone who could corroborate his statement.

Trawling throught the jigsaw of media reports - has there not been a significant passage of time between the date of the alleged event and it surfacing into public focus ?

The former is specifically known, however the latter seems to have been 2015 or thereabouts.

If so, it's 14 or so years later.

On the other hand, how could PA be so precise as to his whereabouts on the day in question ?
