We are just begin to get an inkling of how deeply embedded Peter Mandelson and Tony Blair were/are with the sinister rich. Every time you think you've seen the worst of it, something else emerges.

"Shame has to change sides, Pelicot says. And maybe that should apply not just to rape and sexual assault but to war crimes too." @carolecadwalla.bsky.social broligarchy.substack.com/p/is-this-th...
NEW: Is this the broligarchy’s first world war? AI, like war & rape, is a hyper-masculine fantasy of God-like power, a myth at the dark heart of what we’re seeing play out in the Gulf. This war hasn’t replaced the Epstein scandal. It is the Epstein scandal.

Americans can tolerate a genocide in Gaza, ICE killing and kidnapping people, Trump's racism and cruelty, but I do think high gas prices - in addition to all the other chaos - might be a bridge too far.

8th March, International Women's Day.
A reminder that it's 2026 and the patriarchy is very much alive and kicking: protests almost 10 years ago, and @carolecadwalla.bsky.social's powerful read just a few weeks back. #InternationalWomensDay

Pretty funny that Michael Gove is dunking on me now he’s editor of the Spectator to promote its ‘bias-free’ reporting when as a politician he wouldn’t answer any of my press inquiries on the massive Brexit fraud he oversaw as Vote Leave’s co-convener
That is hilarious.
So obviously I am being set up as woke token leftie AI crybaby who’ll be made to look demonic in the social media clips. But on the other hand Palantir don’t even answer my press inquiries..
Question for Bluesky: The Spectator has asked me to take part in a debate on AI with Palantir’s very own Louis Moseley. And, possibly, Michael Gove. This is eg of the Spectator’s coverage of me. Should I accept?
I hope this gets more people to see this important and heartbreaking movie.
Bullying people won't work. People have a genocide in real time on their phones and a majority of Americans want it to end.

The same technological pinpoint accuracy that was used to slaughter children in Gaza now being used to slaughter children in Iran.
The real scandal of yachtgate is that Deripaska peddled influence in UK for years. Influence that the UK govt is STILL refusing to investigate. Mandelson’s venality & hunger for the high life shows up not just in his compromising r’ship with Epstein. Deripaska needs far greater scrutiny too.

Deripaska is such a key figure in subversion of US 2016 election. And tight with half the British establishment. The files show how Mandelson tried to get his help with Russia visa for Epstein & much more. Tony Blair is also in the mix because: of course.

I’ve been obsessed with this scandal for years. And have talked about with @professorshaw.bsky.social many times. It was the same year, Epstein was convicted. And what’s amazing is how it foreshadows what’s in the files.

NEW: This is a terrific deep dive into Epstein & Russia by @professorshaw.bsky.social for @thenerve.news which starts with ‘Yachtgate’, Mandelson’s 2008 scandal involving Nat Rothschild, George Osborne & Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska

"It's just a terrible, terrible indictment that it wasn't because a woman's word was sufficient," says @carolecadwalla.bsky.social about the long-overdue investigation into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former Prince Andrew, over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
We speak to British investigative Carole Cadwalladr about the U.K. arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and investigation into the extent of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
I also write about the Epstein files. Because it’s the another eg of US press lacking guts or clarity or leadership to say it like it is. It’s the dog didn’t bark. And if it isn’t barking now..what happens when/if Trump attempts to throw the mid terms?
NEW: ‘It’s a coup’.
One year on from when DOGE entered the US treasury & Trump’s blitzkrieg on the rule of law began, I’ve republished an article I wrote then about what the headlines weren’t saying.
NB: They’re still not.

this is another absolutely brutal read. but a critical one, particularly for academics.
😂
Guys. Guys! What if the gender divide in the experience of imposter syndrome in the academy (with women overwhelming feeling not smart enough/good enough) is just an artifact of invisible systems… like this one…?
Wow. Seriously, read it.
This is an important piece. Epstein was a consummate social climber and courted academics as a way of building social clout. Brockman and “the edge” illuminate just how that worked.
Thank you! As far as I can tell, the publishing industry and the press that covers it have said almost nothing about its Epstein connections through Epstein's bespoke literary agent John Brockman. The silence is giving off its own special stink. This was an important part of the Epstein "mystique."
I bonded with Virginia a few years back over a mutual fascination with Edge.org. I recognised its influence years ago, even pitched a piece on it...but I did not seethe ideology beneath the 'science' Epstein/Brockman promoted which @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social lays bare
3/
Richard Dawkins and Ian McEwan, amongst others, took part in this Epstein-organised pseudo intellectual think tank for eugenicists and neofascists.
This isn't something distant or far away. Super-agent & close Epstein ally, John Brockman had huge influence. His 'rockstar' writers, scientists and academics dominated our book pages & broadsheets.
We need nothing less than a total revisionist history of the last 20 years.
