Brits Scramble to Save Their Corrupt Financial System: The Arrest of Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor
Feb. 20—The local police came for the Royal formerly known as Prince Andrew yesterday, rousted him out of bed, and did the equivalent of frog‑marching him to the police station where he was arrested for suspicion of misconduct in public office. When he was released 12 hours later he had the scared look of a deer caught in the headlights of an onrushing vehicle.
Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor, eighth in line to the British throne, was being investigated for passing official government documents to the convicted sex trafficker, the late Jeffrey Epstein, in 2011, a charge that emerged from emails and texts between the two, and a third party, David Stern, contained in the millions of documents recently released by the U.S. Department of Justice on the Epstein case. Andrew has maintained that he has done nothing wrong or illegal in his relations with Epstein and his stable of young women and minors, although pictures all over the internet and world media would seem to say otherwise.
Under usual circumstances, sources report, the Palace would have been contacted prior to Andrew's arrest, and he would have been given the dignified option of turning himself in. These sources report that the Palace was contacted, and the police raid on Andrew's home on an estate owned by his brother, King Charles III, was what they wanted. There was to be no special treatment for Andrew, who the King had stripped of all his Royal titles last month and who was arrested on his 66th birthday.
The Palace Moves First
In addition, the Palace has been intimately involved in the handling of the case against Andrew. In fact, the move to arrest him now, sources report, was a move to pre‑empt a possible indictment in the U.S., which was under consideration by FBI director Kash Patel, who thought he could use an indicted Andrew to help go after the wealthy members of the Epstein class. Patel, a source reported, wants to look at the money flows into and out of Epstein's bank accounts, and his relations to major banks in what is a manifestly corrupt financial system.
Where Andrew might have been able to cut a deal in exchange for evidence from the Americans, no such deal is likely in Britain. Andrew could walk away from the charges of misconduct in public office by telling the truth—Epstein was working for him, serving his interests and acting on his behalf, when Andrew served as Special Representative for International Trade from 2001 to 2011, where Andrew was personally under the direction of his mother—and protector—Queen Elizabeth II. Andrew, sources report, was the Queen's chief thug, handling tough matters in making deals with various persons and countries on behalf of the British Empire. He continued to perform this role even after his lurid personal dealings with Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and their brothel and salon caused him to formally resign from the post.
Epstein as an Instrument of the System
Epstein was not some oddball pervert of an otherwise reputable system. What is now being called the Epstein class are the essential operatives of that system, its lawful products. Corruption is its fundamental character in a Hobbesian universe where the proof of what is right is contained in your bank account. Epstein helped Andrew make deals and was rewarded for doing so.
Andrew has been caught in a spotlight which the public finds reprehensible. He will not be allowed to tell the truth, which would throw light on the corrupt system itself. That is the fear, finally, in the face of this beastman, as he drove away from the police station.
Dope, Inc. and the Financial Architecture Behind It
To understand what is at risk one must go and look at a study commissioned back in 1978 by the late physical economist and statesman Lyndon LaRouche, published under the title "Dope, Inc.--Britain's Opium War Against the World," which described how the British Monarchy had created a vast international syndicate that harvested the financial proceeds of the sale of dope internationally, and then laundered those proceeds through the banking system in such a way as to prop up a bankrupt global financial system. Included in these illicit cash flows were the proceeds of prostitution, sex trafficking, gambling and pornography. When you added this up, it came to a daily cash flow in the several billions, and several hundreds of billions annually. Operating through accounts in major banks and in offshore banking centers such as the Cayman Islands, the funds were used for overnight and other quick‑return speculations on a massive scale, making profits for the banks and mega‑speculators of what we now call the "Epstein class."
The media attempted to ridicule LaRouche's documented assertions, reducing what he said to "the Queen pushes drugs." But on even superficial observation, this was a true statement when the system the Queen ran was observed.
There have been vast jumps in the scale of Dope, Inc., especially as its operations were digitized. We are now talking about a cash flow of tens of trillions of dollars. The simple fact: If you remove these cash flows from the global financial system, it will collapse.
Andrew, Epstein, and the Costs of Doing Business
Andrew and Epstein worked for Dope, Inc., at times operating in that nebulous area between Dope, Inc. and the real system, to direct various flows of funds towards the fellow members of their perverse and corrupt class. Those were part of the costs of doing business. And you can see how this also overlaps with the intelligence services, as funds for various operations can, with some work, be siphoned off from the illicit flows.
The high life, literally, is yours with all the drugs and perversions you want, as long as you serve the system. If you become a problem, you are cast off and disposed of. Think Robert Maxwell, or Jeffrey Epstein—it is a small step from high roller to corpse.
"These are the thoughts that must be going through Andrew's head right now," said a source. "His mother is dead. No one will protect him."
Trump Expresses Sympathy for the Royals
President Donald Trump expressed sympathy for Andrew. “I think it’s a shame. I think it’s very sad. I think it’s so bad for the royal family. It’s very, very sad,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One as he traveled to Georgia for an event.
Trump was quick to point out that, despite being all over the Epstein files, their release has fully exonerated him. “I’ve been totally exonerated. I did nothing, in fact, the opposite. He was against me. He was fighting me in the election which I just found out throughout the last three million pages of documents.”
The recent document dump from the Justice Department showed numerous emails from Epstein where he was obsessed with Trump and how he won the White House. Many of those messages were with author Michael Wolff. Trump has threatened to sue Wolff and Epstein’s estate, saying the two men conspired to destroy his career.
“I didn’t see it myself, but I was told by some very important people that not only does it absolve me, it’s the opposite of what people were hoping, you know, the radical left,” he said earlier this month.
Charles Knows Scandal
"I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office," King Charles said in a statement.
King Charles went on to state that what follows is "the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co‑operation."
"Let me state clearly: the law must take its course," King Charles said, adding, "As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all."
The dumbo‑eared Charles knows well how scandal plays out. Along with his father, His Royal Virus, the late Prince Phillip, he was involved in blocking a full investigation into the probable murder by vehicular homicide of his divorced wife, the late Princess Diana Spencer, who the majority of the British people believe was murdered, on order from Phillip, to prevent her from having a baby by her non‑white paramour Dodi Haddad, who was also murdered along with the Princess in the infamous crash of her vehicle in Paris in 1997.
"Andrew's best chance for survival is to fall on the sword for the monarchy and try to cut a deal with his brother to avoid a prison sentence," said a source. "If he goes in a different direction, he had better get some protection and say that if he is found dead, it is not a suicide."
