Who can I follow to try & understand where Epstein got his money & power? It does seem quite mysterious. Some people think it was from the Israelis, others think the Russians. But it must be from somewhere. He even seems to have got in with the Norwegian royal family.

There is a second story hidden within the Mandelson scandal. There is a sense that UK politics may have become too relaxed about its social proximity to business and finance.

There's just a lack of critical distance that is uncomfortable. It's wider than Mandelson.

While glued to the Higgs Boson film it took me ages to realise that "Five Sigma" just meant 5 standard deviations. Somehow Sigma sound so much more glamorous,

"If public health is to remain true to its ethos of justice and prevention, it must confront the political economy of harm and shed light on the pathways of complicity that link corporate behaviour to humanitarian catastrophes."

There are so many white supremacists in USA. They never got over being subjected to a Black president for 2 terms. Now they are getting their revenge. At any cost.
