There are vast swathes of the population that rely on feelings over any facts or data. The 70s were worse in a whole range of quantifiable ways.

Also in the UK and fully Agree. Yes Andrew molested underage girls who were trafficked for that purpose. It is utterly repulsive and horrific.
And yes the entire concept of royalty is weird and yet seems to occupy a blind spot in many peoples minds. There are already apologists for Andrew.

I do't see it working at least not with the vast majority of people. Essentially what their talking about is child molestation, one of if not the most sickening crime imaginable. There is no way to spin that and the backlash against anyone trying will probably be very bad.

I don't think most people (myself included) could imagine the scale and range of skeletons in the royal closets.
That said I think the Epstien scandal may be one of the biggest most far reaching scandals in history. There will be names in that file that will span nations and the political spectrum.

Part of me honestly believes that if the Andrew formerly known as Prince goes to the US to testify before Congress he will be dead before his plane lands.

French protesters built actual concrete walls outside government buildings just to protest a trade deal that wasn't even finalised.
If the French Government had done 1% of what Trump is doing half the country would be on fire by now.

America needs to study French civil disobedience closely. The french government suggested reducing farm subsidies and hundreds of French farmers drive tractors into Paris and blocked every major road junction.
Trump bankrupts American farmers. Result: "Please help us Mr Trump."

Zack has been building real hope and positivity on the left along with skyrocketing Green membership and polling.
Meanwhile the barely formed 'Your party' are busy taking out lawsuits against each other amid a donations scandal. Their role on the left was over before it began.

"mainstream German politicians increasingly portray the far-right party as a fifth column promoting the Kremlin’s interests". This is important and we need to do the same especially with reform members taking Russian money.

The JFK, MLK files are fascinating but at the same time utterly inconsequential. They're a distraction.
The Epstien files will contain many famous names from both sides of the Atlantic and both ends of the political spectrum. Destroying a british royal is barely the start of this scandal.

It does seem like the world is ripe for revolution we are deep into late stage capitalism combined with collosal corruption at the highest levels.
But the whole Epstien thing feels like we are barely scratching the surface. I think it will be one of the biggest and ugliest scandals in history.

That the world contains child molesting mobsters who have people killed is no surprise. That one of them is the most powerful person in the world is horrifying.
The sheer scope of this is almost beyond belief.
