In the wake Prince Andrew’s arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer gave an interview in which he said “nobody is above the law.”
That line went everywhere, fast. On X, I called it the tagline of the movie they’re about to play:
“Nobody is above the law” is the tagline of the awful movie they’re about to play out across our screens. https://t.co/iYoMeabbzf

And the media lost no time in proving my point. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson echoed it in an interview of her own. Everyone from Al Jazeera to the South China Morning Post has taken up the cry.
In one of those curiously timed coincidences, the UN actually used the same exact phrase just a day before Sir Keir:
UN experts concerned that flawed ‘Epstein Files’ disclosures undermine accountability for crimes against women & girls.
The files have shocked the conscience of humanity and raised terrifying implications of the level of impunity for such crimes.https://t.co/7jxf9lm3oH pic.twitter.com/enKUC57Ftv

Then there’s this long article in the Atlantic, I won’t sport with your intelligence by relating the bulk of the text, we concern ourselves only with the concluding paragraph:
The former Prince Andrew acted as he did because he lived in a world in which someone like him never faced consequences. That isn’t true anymore.
That’s the narrative in a nutshell. The system is fair and treats everyone the same. Old Guard bad, corruption being rooted out, accountability for the old boys club. Like #MeToo on crack.
In this vein we have the arrest of Peter Mandelson.
The investigation, and alleged attempted suicide, of Norway’s former PM Thorbjørn Jagland
The resignation of World Economic Forum chief Børge Brende over his “Epstein links”
The “retirement” of Harvard President and former Treasury Secretary of Larry Summers
Even stuff as small as the revelation of Bill Gates’ affairs with a couple of Russian women.
None of those latter four come close to actual arrests, of course. And the story is very much that while the UK (and Europe in general) are willing to act on Epstein, the US is lagging behind.
That’s why you get absurd headlines like this, in the I:
Epstein’s ghost has brought down Britain’s elites. Trump fears the same in the US
“Bringing down Britains elites”, in this instance, meaning the staged arrest of the least important member of an increasingly irrelevant Royal family, and chalking another scandal up on Mandelson’s long and distinguished list, but the story is clear: The US has some catching up to do.
Over on BlueSky, the foam-cornered play area of the internet, Senator Jacky Rosen was doing her part to tell that story…
Combine these low-level narrative reinforcements with column’s such as this in the Guardian from the omni-outraged Arwa Mahdawi:
Prominent Britons are facing a reckoning over Epstein. In the US, not so much
So Epstein buddies Andrew and Mandelson have been arrested in the UK. And in the US? Zero, zip, nada
…and the safe prediction is that this age of pretended accountability has some way to go yet, and some flagging member of the American upper class is probably going to have to fall on their sword to push the narrative forward
Maybe starting today:

Perma-smug Marinda Hyde & omni-outraged Arwa Mahdawi: – love it.
100%. Never mind the monkeys or even the organ grinders – it’s the organ that needs to go and all the facades that support it.
Once Gates and Clinton plus many others are locked in prison wake me up..
Pretty clear that Epstein is above the law if he was broken out of a SDNY penitentiary, before he could be brought to trial. Pretty clear he was above the law through negotiating the sort of outrageous plea-bargain arranged with Alex Acosta a generation ago.
Pretty clear that Nancy Pelosi has been above the law for decades. The greatest insider trader outside Wall Street going, that dame.
Jizz is also broke out. That’s not her in the cell.
They are all above the law. Bush and Blair showed that with a million deaths followed by Fauci and Biden with a million more.
It’s a fallen world, right is wrong, good is bad.
None of these perverts, criminals and pedophiles will see the inside of a prison…
WE HAVE DOCUMENTATION US GOVT Participated in plan to censor US public:
“The leaked emails and meeting briefs show CCDH’s CEO Imran Ahmed writing a government minister’s agenda, co-chairing a government policy roundtable, and dictating the terms of ministerial participation — while CCDH’s lawyers simultaneously told a Florida federal court their client merely “published reports” and acted “independently.”¹
A conference attendee list Paul Thacker obtained shows the coordination extended far beyond London. In the summer of 2024, CCDH convened over 100 participants from the U.S. State Department, the White House, multiple congressional offices, the British Embassy, the United Nations, and a Canadian MP — all in one Washington room.²

Don’t jump on that yet, first try to teach them brail
The world as a prison? Perhaps.
Does have some parallel to the real world and the real actual prisoner inside a real actual prison.
Those incapable of browsing the ‘Internet’ freely to escape proverbial ‘echo bubbles’, and limited to the prisoner code and outside informational sources (nothing beyond TV, radio, mainstream of course being allowed). No free Internet;that being a given. Beyond the odd smuggled phone.
The typical prisoner’s education not being that of Dostoevsky’s Alyosha nor even contrasting Kierkegaard’s “Knight of Faith” against the Knight of “infinite resignation”, as some might typicallly suspect.
But more a case of disguising the fact that one couldn’t even write a basic email nor compose an illiterate letter if one’s life depended on it.
Such seems closer to the real world imho
No doubt the scumbag will end up head of some other body – with a huge salary for doing f*ck-all – because he’s in the circle of people who head up government or corporate positions – and can be relied on to do the right thing for them.
“Frmr Chief Economist of World Bank

Re my above comment the WEF will need a new compliant leader – maybe Schwab will come back.
” President and CEO of the World Economic Forum, Børge Brende, resigns due to Epstein Files.”
Just remember the covid vax mantra – “no one is safe until everybody is safe” – which translates essentially to – “no one stupid until everybody is stupid.” : /
No PTB is safe until almost everyone is dead
Thank you, Kit. “Metoo on crack cocaine”. Yup.
Call me a racist, sexist, anti-everything and everyone – but I question-close-to-doubt-close-to-actual-disbelieve all of it.
What a show.
Meanwhile, in the heart of the Empire, we’re still unable to get a grand jury investigation into the events of 9/11…
They had a inquiry.
We are only in the first acts of this long drawn out theatre play. My guess is those who have been investigated and arrested now (Andy & Mandy) will be exonerated in the final act.
With a public apology and compensation, just like Cliff “Kitty” Richard.
Nukes for Ukraine would be ‘playing with fire’ – ex-US judge (VIDEO)
Napolitano calls the US not neutral in Ukraine. Zelenski & co are neither legal or ethical.
He correctly observes that all Western leaders involved in the Ukraine war are very low in popularity.
Iran should not get a nuke but Ukraine should: hypocritical woke WEF crap.
Why should Iran not develop a nuke while Israel gets to keep theirs? Let alone Great Britain and the US., the only country to ever use them.
Accusing Israhell of having nukes is anti-“semitism”.
Oops.
They surely put a lot of effort in this story, but the outcome will be (as always) the same: a complete nothing burger. Energy harvesting to ensure that the real issue, ie that there is no progress, that society is a complete stand still, only to progress though schemes and plays get no attention at all.
Don’t look at the man behind the curtain!
Starmer lying again.
No we are not all equal under the law.
Banking secrecy laws protects criminal bankers.
Corrupt judges will use their power to allow only certain statements in court protecting the elite.
The Official Secrets Act and National Security protects criminality in government and protects the agenda.
The King is protected by law.
Judges cannot be prosecuted for anything they do in court.
Israel and its weapon suppliers as seen in the Filton 6 case was protected until the jury did their duty.
So no the law is a joke. Starmer a lying bstrd, and nothing can change or their corrupt system or it all collapses.
And the overwhelming by-election defeat won’t change Starmer’s determination to cling onto power regardless. When your heart belongs to Davos, where all the unhealthily rich are above the law, you don’t easily let go of the reins.
Luckily, us plebs will fall for it. Again. At this point, I actually feel sorry for Andrew..
Demos Kratos. Power to the People. What a f*cking stupid idea.
Then chaos. People eating, people with shelter, people working, oh my
ooops wrong line… let me try again
If they imprisoned all the criminals there would be no leaders left!
Then chaos. People eating, people with shelter, people working, oh my… there
and since then you haven’t stopped going on about it.
repeating a lie doesn’t make it true for real awake people.
But for the Jesus / Nukes believers like you…
Repeating things in hypnosis—often called compounding suggestions or repetition of suggestion—is a fundamental technique used to bypass the critical, conscious mind and program the subconscious mind with new, automatic behaviors.
Because the brain finds familiar information comforting and energy-efficient, repeating suggestions makes them feel “true” over time, transforming them from simple suggestions into “habits of the mind”.
Something small you can do: Add your name to the resolution.
For years, Americans have waited for transparency and accountability. Now, Children’s Health Defense has launched the Covid Justice Resolution — a national call for the U.S. Senate to formally repudiate harmful COVID-era policies, protect bodily autonomy, defend free speech, and reinforce constitutional limits on emergency powers.
Children’s Health Defense : all they done is take money of venerable people with fake court cases and legal fee’s scam.
hexcate, On the contrary, Children’s Health Defense has won many court cases so preserving and/or initiating some protections against compulsory vaccination for kids for school.
The very first thing that needs to be done is to revoke the immunity from liability and prosecution for the pharmaceutical industry for the product (vaccines) they push.
The second thing that needs to happen is to stop all vaccination mandates. Forcing anyone to be subjected to a drug/vaccine violates the most basic of human rights.
Doctors grow richer with every pill, jab or surgery they sell.
Agreed, Veri Tas. End the Vaccine Carve-out Act has been introduced in the House by Lee and Gosar, and in the Senate by Rand Paul.
Unlikely to pass w/o a lot of public support, but it’s a start.
Signing the resolution I mention above is our part in addressing your two concerns.
Will any of these elite vermin ever see the inside of a prison cell???!!!
Round, round she goes…place your bets.
There is still time…till the clock strikes 12
Another reason to love big bother, he’s got your back
This also really plays strongly into the ” it ain’t a crime if we don’t say so” thing
On the other hand, there’s reality. Almost all the members of the predator class are above the law; but when it’s deemed necessary, they’ll make examples out of an unfortunate few in an effort to maintain the illusion of a level playing field.
Exactly. And the unfortunate few are names we are all familiar with so that makes it all the more relevant and “true”.
Controlled demolition of the Old Order is in progress then. If we live long enough then we may see the End Game in which the real PTB show up.
I’m pretty sure it was resolved long ago that the only way there is going to be justice and real accountability against the global elite is if We the People, so to speak, do it. How, of course, is another story. I was just reading an article over on Global Research, “Transforming the entire world into a global technocracy”. Same guy instrumental to the “We are Free, We are People” organization/movement. Pretty good 3 part article, but a couple key points at the end,
“No government is free of Elite control. Governments are simply Elite agents doing what they are told by various Elite agents in banking, foreign policy, technology and other contexts.”
and
“Our fight is with the Global Elite. Not your government, an international organization or anyone else.”
There is only one way. It might be impossible, but that’s it, man. Revolution against the global elite. Worldwide. Comes a time when you have to put up or shut up.
Right you are. The problem is that any revolution requires some preparation and there we have the infiltrators, the spies, the traitors etc who will revert whatever we try. My hope is that a country (or a whole continent) will be able to free itself and only then we could follow. What if it is my country ? I dream and fight for that with my humble means
Kind of like in the states where I’m hoping a state or group of states can get the ball rolling, kind of like how it’s supposed to be, i.e., limited federal government, states’ rights, etc. But another idea I’ve had is to use the United Nations itself. I pretty much always get scoffed at for this one, but a proposal to create a Global Citizens Revolution Committee (it could be revised to come up with a catchy acronym), with sub-committees from every or nearly every country on earth, and organize and refine to the point where we could demand a council at the United Nations and demand a global end to Rule by the Rich. Ya, that’s my dream. Actually, about 15 years ago I created a website called “Global Revolution Center”. Still have it but haven’t updated it since the Scamdemic started, my last article in Mar 2020 when I called bullshit right way. That’s about when I started coming here more.
Fake arrests IMO. Can’t wait to see them to enter the prison complex corridors and exit a short while later with Tipp-ex teeth and a golden tan, just like Yaxley. 😂
POTUS Trump has added to his list of demands on Iran. He’s now also demanding
“Why havent you capitulated to My Threats ? I demand you answer !!”
Killary at the Epstein hearing:
“We had to ensure no rules would be broken, going forward _ _ _”
Same SHIT script, different day.
Someone help me: Can you go backwards instead of forwards?
Now we know why national population levels have been declining – Epstein and his friends have been feasting on the babies. Is there no accounting for taste ?
As they have for millennia.
All that money, authority, prestige and arrogance and what do we see?
The sick, pathetic, husks of humanity.
The hollowed out, empty, world-weary, would be gods.
Pity them, they have NOTHING.
How about moving to Russia, or China ? Things dont sound as bad in those countries.
At least the public transport systems run on time.
tempting but I’m not sure abandoning ship would get us the preferred treatment anywhere… leave alone the constant surveillance under spying suspicions…
Basil on UK Column immediately responded that Charles is above the law
Spike Milligan was right
May need to explain that one.
Spike of course being above every known law (as his erstwhile wife and Peter Sellers would likely agree)?
The Epstein show is now playing before audiences because his methods are no longer as needed with all being made accountable to AI, including puppets in high places who answer to handlers above the law, not us beneath. So sit back and watch this show and the next ad nauseam, make a fuss wherever you live online to keep mistaking motion for action, and then die – the sooner the better for elites’ lebensraum. Our assigned role is merely incidental, useless eaters and spectators to our own demise. Like the spectacle, we too are passing distractions.
“No one is safe before everybody is safe!” We are talking here about the plandemic of the unvaccinated. Epstein, Andrew, Mandelson, Thorbjørn and Børge were all unvaccinated.
They perhaps had more important matters to worry about than ineffective vaccines. Attractive ladies for most or men in Mandelson’s case.
Yes, you are right. They aren’t going to punish the elite criminals. Duh.
On the other hand, that doesn’t mean that the revelations coming out of the Epstein files are not real, and damning, and suggestive of enormities far beyond fucking.
You frame it with Starmer.
Lets roll back a few minutes. On (8/8) August 8, 2022, the Federal Bureau of Investigation executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, the residence of then-former U.S. president Donald Trump looking for classified nukes documents (try not to laugh)
That same week Oppenheimer came out and then went on to win a total of 13 nominations, making it a standout during the awards gotta have the nukes films.
You sold poor Trump Mar-a-Lago raid as him being bullied,
I wont embarrassing you by showing you your article.
You never called a age of accountability” psy-op with Charles Kirk or Trump assassination
NOR did any of your other authors. IN fact they all in unison called it as REAL.
What is a Psyop kit>?>?? you seem to be confused.
It is a psy op is if doesn’t involved Trump or isntreal.? Or its only a psyop if stamner and co are involved.?
We all need to understand what Off guardian position is?
Actually we don’t
Without any evidence to back his belief that Jeffrey Is Guilty*, little billy gates now
says he’s sorry for hanging out with that sordid reprobate Jeffrey… With Friends
like little billy gates believing The Worst about him, it’s no wonder Jeffrey decided
to hang himself: he rightly guessed he’d never get A Fair Trial…
** JIG – as in ‘The jig is up’ – so little billy feels he’s gotta ‘fess up…
I don’t think he’s dead… First I can’t believe he would have remorse or be afraid of not getting out… I’m pretty sure he’s wore a bandage for a while…
Thank you for these salient and amusing observations, Kit.
😂
Sayer Ji explains how the Epstein files release also revealed the Epstein-Gates and others collusion over the Pandemic Governance
An easier link?
Thank you Veri Tas, for looking at the facts and documents that Sayer Ji presents. At least HE is not relying on a dogmatic opinion built on pure hypothesis.
To Sayer ji’s credit he is one of the named “Disinformation Dozen” during the plandemic. Joseph Mercola is another.
Mercola said he was proud that US govt. labelled him the worst disinfo agent for the covid jab. This greatest democracy (TM) blocked his website and closed bank accounts – his and his employees’ earlier.
Confucius say, “Man who build house absorbed by sewage treatment live life of shit”
I wonder how many journalists whose blatant lies promoting war, killing and genocides should face the long arm of the law, eh?
How many of them who said that those who refused dangerous Covid vaccines should be ‘put in concentration camps’ should be sent to prison for 5 years for their intolerant intemperance, eh?
How many cocaine snorters in the media should be prosecuted for using Class A drugs, which so many of them use as a habit?
How many phone hackers should be electronically tagged for a decade so they have no privacy, ever again?
How many stalkers who claim to be MSM ‘journalists’ should be prosecuted for harassment, sexual predation and generalised invasion of boundaries and privacy?
I wonder how Morgan, Coulson and Brooks would enjoy the long arm of the law behaving to them as they behave to people who they seek to harass to make money, eh?
And what about journalists forever promoting war with Russia, appeasing Israeli genocide and turning a blind eye to global US warmongering, financial extortion and generalised inhumane behaviour, eh?
Should they be charged with treason, promoting war crimes and inhuman behaviour??
I hope so.
I wonder if the snuff videos the vermin troops make in Gaza provide money besides kicks.
The statement accompanying the release implied that they have snuff films but that these are among the material held back.
There are allegations the uber-rich are able to purchase holidays in war zones where they can shoot at people. It’s alleged in Gaza and goes back at least as far as Sarajevo. It may go back a lot further because the story ‘The Most Dangerous Game’ was published back in 1924 and first filmed in 1932 (by one of the’King Kong’ creators; there have been multiple remakes since). Author Richard Connell happens to have died on 22/11, the same day – if not year – as JFK and Aldous Huxley.
hope springs eternal as they say , but can/ should We expect any Justice from corrupted institutions such as the Judicial Systems of most Western Countries if not most countries period ?
Not really. Isn’t war & killing part of basic media. Which part should they renounce?
Breaking NEWS. ‘To live outside The Law you must be honest.’
A bald wig for Jack the Ripper who sits,
At the head of the chamber of commerce.
People are beginning to have conversations about it and thats where the perps egg starts to crack.
Let’s not forget that this whole Epstein Hysteria was started by Elon Musk during a staged ‘falling-out’ with Trump. DOGE is still very much alive and Musk is still getting major contracts with the US Government. This event happened less than a month after Musk, Trump, and several major players in Global Technology and High Finance toured the Arab Gulf States and made enormous deals and got investments for advancing Smart Cities, Digital Currency, and other such schemes with those authoritarian regimes.
Sorry, but the push to release the Epstein files began long before DOGE & the supposed Trump/Musk disagreement.
Yeah, right. What push? So far, nearly all of these big ‘revelations’ were known or widely suspected 10-20 years ago. Musk was the one who dredged it all back up and fanned it into mass public hysteria. We’re supposed to believe that all of this just sat around in a file cabinet for years waiting to be exposed?
I am always suspicious when any comment board or news media outlet publishes so many articles in a row telling us what to think about a subject when it is saturated news.
But when this was regarded as fringe or taboo , how many interviews did this blog give to Whitney Webb?
And when this topic was really cutting-edge news, how many articles did this blog publish ?
The MSM headline you mention, “Nobody is above the law , ” is exactly what you do when something is commercially trending in the woke media MSM- plus sphere.
The reason you never mentioned Epstein or Weinstein and attacked the commentators who did is that it is very close to grooming gangs from your nowhere and intelligence outfit that is NOT allowed to be mentioned by any of your authors.
Some of us have our own minds, thank you.
landy, this site doesn’t do interviews, so perhaps that’s why they didn’t interview Whitney Webb?
“The reason you never mentioned Epstein or Weinstein and attacked the commentators who did is that it is very close to grooming gangs from your nowhere and intelligence outfit that is NOT allowed to be mentioned by any of your authors.” ??
Honey, what ARE you talking about? You might ASK why somebody didn’t mention Epstein, rather than TELLING them why they didn’t.
“gangs from your nowhere and intelligence outfit”?? I don’t get it; are you accusing off-guardian of being CIA? You might try documenting your views.
Landy Pete ? You got a Land Rover ? Get back to Africa mate.
Whilst the Epstein files confirm what a number of posters on this site already know ie the paymaster of the piper calls the tunes, it is also a distraction from the bigger picture which is taking place on multiple fronts ie the Western bankers proxy wars in the Ukraine and one which is, unfortunately, about to take place in Persia.
US Proxy War on Russia: What Comes Next?

Lawrence Summers on the Risks of Donald Trump
Bloomberg Originals
Jan 20, 2017
Harvard University President Emeritus and Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers explains the risks he sees related to the policies of President-elect Donald Trump and warns that business may regret “enabling” Trump.
Excellent contributions to this discussion, thank you.
Summers. What an incredible scumbag. I am glad he was chosen to take a little bit of a fall. May he trip and fall much further.
good people went along and didn’t get in the way.
Isnt that too what we concluded here on these pages?
Thank you, Lost. Very informative. Wonder why he’s resigning. He certainly seems sound in his reasoning.
If Summers is saying it there is something wrong with it. Doesn’t matter what it is. If he says it, hold onto your wallet and back into a corner. Summers is a piece of shit.
The whole Epstein sex thing is designed as a distraction from what was really going on. Epstein ran a large scale networking and influence peddling operation. The fact that this operation included an Island of Delights with likely everything a person could desire in a guaranteed confidential** environment is just an indication of its scale and reach.
Networking is an important part of any career because opportunities and jobs come through this route, rarely by just submitting an application. (Sorry — I don’t necessarily agree with this but this is the way the world works.) However, there’s a question of degree. So accepting an invitation to Epstien’s pit of iniquity isn’t prima facie evidence of moral turpitude++ because most (decent) people wouldn’t expect to be thrust into a sex orgy when their neighbors invited them to a party — but you’d expect repeat invitations to be politely declined. Repeat visitors…
**Expecting something this to remain a secret is a good sign of major hubris!
**That’s an official term used by the Federal government. You’ll be denied a US visa if you’ve been convicted of ‘crimes of moral turpitude’.
and, of course, for all of these scumbags, scapegoats and satanists to be replaced by (drum roll please) – AI; – as in e-government; e-education; e-health; etc.. That is all! RGB-Y5 out!!
So they’ll throw a few expendable scapegoats to the masses to face the music, whilst the real big hitters remain in the shadows – and continue doing what they do, as someone said it sounds a bit like a Limited Hangout exercise – they’ve been rumbled, so a few bodies will need to be investigated – and if need be charged to sate the masses rage.
As for the Clinton’s – they’ll just do what they always do – kill and blow up anyone or anything that might bring them to justice, the bodybag count will just keep on climbing.
The masses don’t really care, and definitely not enough to express any rage.
They probably do care, but people are far too busy trying to make ends meet, (That’s also down to the PTB’s politicians policies) – that they don’t really have time to get too deep into it – another contributing factor is many folk don’t want to rock the boat – in case they lose their jobs, they have mortgages and bills to pay.
For many of the masses – once they fall into the debt trap – they are too afraid to act or speak out.
Retired people and students got a lot of time to agitate. They do to an extent now, but could do much more.
Bring to justice?
if warpspeed covid, banking bailout, iraq war got no one arrested.
Then the rest is just theatre for the media amusement park rider.
Are YOU doing anything other than watching it as entertainment? I can’t figure out what to do about it myself. But I do think it’s wrong to blame others for not “doing something”.
You make a fair point there.
The justice system is in place because it holds a position of trust. That trust has evaporated and the genie is out the bottle. Courts are corrupt corporate entities. Judges are bought and paid for puppets and the legal system is a protection racket for the rich and powerful. RoS your on the ball again.
Your on the ball as well with that above comment.
