Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

Police in London on Monday arrested Peter Mandelson, Britain's former ambassador to the United States, who has been under investigation for his relationship with notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Metropolitan Police in London said that Lord Mandelson, 72, was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, the same grounds on which other police in Britain last week arrested and briefly detained Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former prince and longtime friend of Epstein.

DJT should prolly staty outta the UK for a while... they have a tendency to arrest people who play nice with Pedo Princes.

The stated case is about leaking protected market info during the Bush Recession, but pretty sure that's just the arresting charge.

"Lord" Mandelson.

Hmph.

There is a book titled The Unravelling about sexual lunatics and incest.

Today we are witnessing a slow unravelling of a blackmail-extortion-influence peddling enterprise linked to the Mossad.

AIPAC-ers like Josh Moskowitz (D-FL) or Alan Dershowitz will deflect and say the Russians are involved too.

Could be.

Israeli organized crime extends into Russa and the Russian mafia contains Chechens and Jews.

Money is money.

But the central figures are indisputably Jeffrey Epstein, who had the Mossad secure his Upper Eastside manse, and the repugnant Ghislaine Maxwell.

Virulent antisemites will jump all over this and bray that Epstein's lucrative and sinister enterprise was a grand "Jewish conspiracy."

That might explain why USAG Merrick Garland, an Ashkenazi Jew, inexplicably sat on these explosive and gravely damaging files from 21 Jan 2021 to 19 Jan 2025.

But there are millions of Jews NOT involved in this sordid espionage affair, to wit: US Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), House Democrat Jerry Nadler (D-NY), Ukraine President Volodomir Zelensky, Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum, ex-NYC Comptroller Brad Lander, and my fellow New Yorkers.

Those of you old enough to remember the British "Profumo affair" and the "Cambridge Five" scandals will see this Epstein fandango will be just as damaging. But the "Profumo affair" helped to topple Harold Macmillan's Conservative government.

UK PM Keir Starmer (Labor Party) may survive a no confidence vote if the Serious Crimes Office, now called the National Crime Agency (NCA), nets more Royals and Lords and other highly-placed muckety-mucks.

And right now the UK needs a solid anti-Kremlin government to help Ukraine and counter Vladimir Putin.

Epstein's nefarious empire is damaging the West five years after he somehow killed himself in near impossible conditions in his secure cell in the MCC.
