It’s Prince Andrew’s move.
Last night, the British people heard directly from the woman who claims deceased Wall Street financier and Deep State sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein forced her to have sex with the prince.
Not that Andrew, also styled the Duke of York, will likely have much to say. He’s already denied Virginia Giuffre’s astonishing claims. And he’s already lost his job, such as it was, and gotten the boot from Buckingham Palace.
Giuffre told viewers of BBC Panorama that Epstein, who died in his federal jail cell on August 10, along with Ghislaine Maxwell, the jetsetting party girl accused of procuring Epstein’s many victims, loaned her to the man now known by another title: “Randy Andy.”
And he might just get a fourth after Giuffre’s revolting tale: His Sweatiness.
It was “Raining Sweat”
The prince’s serious trouble began when Giuffre’s claim that she had sex with Andrew on multiple occasions surfaced the day before Epstein died. Those allegations are in Giuffre’s affidavit in a since-settled lawsuit against Maxwell released on August 9.
One of those encounters at the apartment of Maxwell is on film. A photo shows the prince with his arm around Giuffre, with Maxwell, also accused of sexually abusing Epstein’s sex slaves, in the background.
But even worse for Andrew, flight logs from Epstein’s jet show that Andrew was at the right places, at the right times, to have had sex with Giuffre.
Another problem for Andrew is this: Despite knowing the truth about Epstein long before he was arrested and after his first conviction and registration as a sex offender in 2008, Andrew didn’t end his relationship with Epstein until 2011, when Epstein threatened to sue Sarah Ferguson, Andrew’s ex, because she called Epstein a pedophile.
Andrew, who firmly and categorically denies Giuffre’s claims, recently sat for an interview with the BBC that turned into a disaster. He could not have been the man Giuffre described, he told the BBC, because at the time of the encounters he couldn’t sweat. An adrenaline overdose during combat in the Falklands War left him with anhidrosis.
Well, if he wasn’t sweating last night, he’s one cool customer.
Giuffre described an encounter with Andrew in vivid detail:
“He asked me to dance,” she said. “He is the most the most hideous dancer I’ve ever seen in my life. I mean it was horrible, and this guy was sweating all over me, like his sweat was like, it was raining basically everywhere, and I was just like, whoa, grossed out from that. But I knew I had to keep him happy, because it’s what Jeffrey and Ghislaine would expect from me.”
Giuffre appealed directly to Britons to demand the truth.
“People on the inside are going to keep coming up with these ridiculous excuses like, his arm was elongated, or the photo was doctored, or he came to New York to break up with Jeffrey Epstein,” she continued.
I mean, come on. I’m calling BS on this because that’s what it is. He knows what happened. I know what happened. And there’s only one of us telling the truth. And I know that’s me. I implore the people in the UK to stand up beside me to help me fight this fight, to not accept this as being OK. This is not some sordid sex story. This is a story of being trafficked.
Was Epstein Silenced?
Because that story involves Andrew, along with other rich and powerful men, reputations are stake.
Queen Elizabeth, his mother, fired Andrew from his official duties and kicked him out of Buckingham Palace because of it, and other ruling-class elites might be implicated, too.
Which raises the question of whether Epstein was murdered when guards found him hanged and dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, where he was imprisoned on charges of sex trafficking girls as young as 14 years old.
The strange circumstances around Epstein’s convenient demise are legion, as The New American has reported. The guards were sleeping and surfing the Internet instead of checking on him every 30 minutes, as required. His room was just a few paces away from their desk. Epstein’s hyoid bone was broken in three places, which rarely occurs in suicidal hangings. DNA evidence has not been released.
Those facts, along with Epstein’s possible connection to Israeli intelligence through Maxwell’s Mossad-agent father, British press tycoon Robert Maxwell; and Giuffre’s claim that Epstein was collecting compromising information on the men who raped and abused his sex slaves, all add to one thing:
His death might protect a whole lot of rich, powerful men.
