What would you do if you had access to a time portal? Try to resolve your granny’s childhood trauma, or try to save the world from global warming? Or even dance along to Hendrix at Woodstock, 1969? 3 generations of the time trekking Anderson family do all this and more in the ‘On Time’ series.

This is the calibre of GOP candidate in 2008. How, in 8 short years, did the US move from this point to the election of Trump? Is the web of evil being uncovered in the Epstein files at least partially responsible?

Agreed. This podcast is by 2 people who moved in the same circles as Epstein, Mandelson and Maxwell and it does more than anything else I’ve seen to inform about the depths of this web of wickedness and the necessity to unravel it completely.

Indeed it is. This made me angrier at America in general than anything that has gone before. It is the very depths of vile; if he didn’t post it himself he must have seen it and left it there. He shouldn’t be president any more, end of (or ‘period’ as they say in the US). Wake up, America.

And one of the main reasons for that is our culture lets them deflect blame on to everyone else - most especially women close to them. So the media mill starts focusing on them - not the person responsible.

Pam Jarvis @drpam.bsky.social · 15h

Not one man has received concrete fall out from this release of documents in the US. The U.K. has acted, but our media are desperately looking for women to blame. We need to recognise this as an ancient cultural problem before we can move forward.

Pam Jarvis @drpam.bsky.social · 15h

If we look at QEII she was 80ish when she was told there was a problem. She had spent a lifetime covering up for men, often at great cost to herself (Google Philip’s will) and so had her mother (Google ‘Lord Mountbatten scandal’). At the time they had no choice. Now we deflect blame onto them? 🤬

I’m so fed up with all this s**t. Can’t we just press ‘reset’ on both the U.K. and US governments? Go back to the Obamas in the US, and a bit of alternative history in the U.K. - where we did get ‘5 years of chaos’ with Ed Miliband in 2015, not 9 years of carpet bagging with Cameron, Johnson et al?

QEII knew what her own generation &the generation of men above (esp) got up to& got away with& was programmed into ‘women don’t ask.’ Some sources are also trying to drag AMW’s daughters into this. We need to ask ourselves-why do we keep looking for women to blame? Why not blame the f-ing *men?* 🤬

This is simultaneously (1) garbage: Labour has done nothing remotely as bad as the Tories' industrial scale VIP corruption and (2) proof:
of Labour's failure to understand, let alone address, the industrial scale lie-telling machine that is our media.

Well it could be Vance of course. But I think he is marginally less dangerous due to level of predictability. And then he’d have to deal with the considerable GOP reputation damage, while putting together an election campaign. So still a positive option.

How disgusting does this man have to be before enough Republicans drop him to start impeachment? The longer this goes on, the lower the US reputation sinks across the world.

Remember the controversy when Obama was accused of intervening in UK politics? This is the current US government openly seeking to undermine liberal democracy in Europe.

The US state department is set to fund Maga-aligned think-tanks and charities across Europe to disseminate Washington's policy positions and challenge perceived threats to free speech.

Senior state department official Sarah Rogers travelled to Europe in December to meet influential rightwing think-tanks and has spoken to key figures in Nigel Farage's populist Reform UK party about deploying a pot of money to spread American values, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.

The funding was linked to the 250th anniversary celebrations of US independence later this year, the people said.

It is likely to cause consternation among Washington's allies, particularly centre-left governments such as Labour in the UK, which will be concerned that US government funds are being deployed to undermine their policies.

Sacked twice by Blair for duplicity, reappointed by Gordon Brown, then discussed with Epstein how elements of the party were plotting to get rid of Brown. His reputation in the Blair government was already well known in the UK. It’s a ‘would you buy a used car from this man’ situation.

What to know about Peter Mandelson

A key Labour figure for decades, Lord Mandelson faces renewed scrutiny over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

EU to probe whether Peter Mandelson, a former EU commissioner, broke its code of conduct over his ties with late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Mandelson served as the EU’s trade chief between 2004 and 2008 and allegedly received several payments from Epstein in the early 2000s.

Pam Jarvis @drpam.bsky.social · 3d

Perhaps the better headline is just ‘Mandelson lied repeatedly.’ It was clear he’d done that many times before and been caught at it. So why not ‘when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time,’ Starmer? Is it just because that’s what’s expected for modern politicians?

Pam Jarvis @drpam.bsky.social · 3d

It made him indispensable to the shadier end of the ruling classes, as we can see here. But presumably many people he had in his grasp were far more important than the Duke and Duchess of Dim. So why are they still anonymous?

If Epstein was pimping an army of Putin sponsored prostitutes into high society, it would explain an awful lot of the political problems that have arisen across the western world over the last 25 years, particularly in the US and U.K. And where he and Maxwell got their bottomless bank account from.

Thank goodness we have moved on from those days… apart from the American president. I can’t understand why any woman anywhere would ever vote for him. But maybe it’s not a hopeless situation. The penny has even dropped with Majorie Taylor Greene now, so 🤞🏻
