Take your pills.
Have you left him any?

Gawd, stealing sleepy's memes, if that isn't the height of lazy. He is the guy who was freaking out because we pointed out the facts of the "conspiracy". Which it turns out, not only does the majority of country believe, but so do some of the top criminal investigators.

BTW...Cliffy has a much better selection to "draw" (LOL) from.

Then there is the fact that bill gates, the vaccine guy, hung with Epstein a lot especially back in the day...

Antivirus software mogul says Epstein didn't commit suicide

What really happened to Jeffrey Epstein?
John McAfee, founder of global antivirus software McAfee, thinks Epstein did not commit suicide, Australian media site news.com.au reports.
“The man was 6-foot-1, he hung himself from a bed that was only 5-foot-7 in a manner that managed to break his neck in multiple places similar to someone being physically strangled,” he said.
“His cellmate was taken from his cell six hours before his death, the video cameras were off and the guards in that cell block were sent home early due to cleaning.”
Given all the evidence, McAfee said: “I don’t see how a suicide is possible.”

McAfee spoke to news.com.au from an undisclosed location from the inside of a “communications Faraday cage with signal jammers and multiple VPNs (virtual private networks).”
“I can’t tell you where I am. I cannot do that. We carry no telephones with us anymore, we carry no electronics,” he said.
The paranoid 74-year-old said Epstein might have kept records and surveillance video of the activities that took place on his private Caribbean island.
“It would not be beyond belief to think that he might have kept recordings of whatever activities were happening on the island and people found out about it,” he said.
“It’s not something that politicians and people in power would like to have known — so it could be anyone of hundreds of people or all of them acting together.”
Since making his comments he has taken to social media to clarify what he meant, criticizing some news outlets of misrepresenting what he said.
In one tweet he wrote, “I didn’t say Epstein was murdered. I said he didn’t commit suicide. Not the same thing.”

Epstein's alleged pimp threatened girl with 'many ways to die,' lawsuit claims

The billionaire pedophile’s alleged pimp snarled to the terrified teen: “There are many ways to die”.
One of two sisters who are suing the estate of fiendish financier Jeffrey Epstein is claiming that the woman seen as his top procurer of underage girls threatened her with death.
Socialite Ghislaine Maxwell was reportedly the woman behind the vile threat.
Maria Farmer, her younger sister Annie and an Ohio woman named Teresa Helm filed a new lawsuit in Manhattan federal court. They are seeking unspecified damages.

According to Maria Farmer, Maxwell threatened her with death after recruiting her for Epstein, a wealthy hedge fund manager with a predilection for underage girls.
Story continues below
He reportedly killed himself in August in his Manhattan jail cell, although there is evidence he may have been murdered.
The alleged incident with Maxwell occurred in 1995 at an art opening in the Big Apple, the New York Post reports. Farmer aspired to be a model.
Court papers contend that the following summer Farmer was violently sexually assaulted by both Epstein and Maxwell. The assault occurred at the Ohio home of Victoria’s Secret owner Lex Wexner, according to the allegations.
The papers alleged that Wexner’s security staff held Farmer against her will for several hours.
Afterward, she called cops and went to Vanity Fair magazine.

The suit alleges: “Maxwell again called Maria to threaten her, but this time threatened her life: ‘I know you go to the West Side Highway all the time. While you’re out there, just be really careful because there are a lot of ways to die there.’”
Farmer also said she spotted famed lawyer Alan Dershowitz going upstairs with young girls at Epstein’s sprawling New York mansion.
He called the allegations “a total fabrication” and that he didn’t even know Epstein at the time of the alleged assault.

Farmer’s younger sister said the twisted Epstein climbed into her bed when she was 16 and touched her in an inappropriate manner at his New Mexico ranch.
“That trip to the movies was followed by Maxwell giving Annie a massage, and groping her nude breasts while Epstein watched.”
Teresa Helm was 22 when she was hired as a travelling masseuse by Epstein.
The lawsuit states: “As Teresa was studying massage at the California Healing Arts College, this seemed like a dream opportunity, but her hopes were dashed when it quickly turned into sexual assault.”

Prince Andrew to break silence on Jeffrey Epstein relationship in tell-all interview

Prince Andrew is finally breaking his silence on his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
As RadarOnline.com has learned, the royal is speaking about his years-long friendship with the suspected pedophile in a tell-all interview with BBC filmed at Buckingham Palace.
Readers know Andrew, 59, was accused of being involved in Jeffrey’s underage sex trafficking scheme — by one of the late billionaire’s alleged victims, Virginia Roberts — though her claims were dismissed. The woman claimed in various interviews that she was forced to have sex with the Duke of York three times: in London, New York, and the US Virgin Islands, where Epstein allegedly had his private “pedo island.”
In 2015, Andrew was named in court papers as part of a U.S. civil case against Jeffrey, led by Virginia, 35. The details about the duke were later struck from court records when a judge ruled them unnecessary to the case and called them “immaterial and impertinent” to the “central claim.”
Virginia claimed that when she was 17, Ghislaine Maxwell — thought to have been Jeffrey’s pimp — flew her to London in Jeffrey’s plane, known as the “Lolita Express” and introduced her to Andrew. She then took her to Jeffrey’s mansion and forced her to have sex with the royal in a bathroom. Another time, Virginia claimed she and Andrew had an orgy with nine other women.

“He denies that it ever happened, but he knows the truth and I know the truth,” she said.

Andrew and the palace have long denied he was ever involved in Jeffrey’s sex scheme, and the royal has claimed he never had sex with Virginia.
He has not commented on the notorious photograph that was leaked of him wrapping his arm around Virginia during a party with Ghislaine, 57.
As Radar readers know, Jeffrey admitted to prostituting minors and was sentenced to 18 months in prison in 2008. Then, in July 2019, he was arrested on charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy to engage in sex trafficking. He was denied bail ahead of his trail. On August 10 he was found dead inside his jail cell, and while police ruled his death a suicide, many believe the shamed financier was targeted and killed.
Prince Andrew’s interview with Emily Maitlis, titled Andrew & the Epstein Scandal, will be broadcast on BBC 2 at 9 p.m. on Saturday, November 16.

Prince Andrew 'categorically' denies sex claims in BBC interview

LONDON — Britain’s Prince Andrew said he could not have had sex with a teenage girl at a socialite’s London home because he returned to his house after a children’s party on the night in question and has no recollection of ever meeting her.
The rare interview was an attempt to draw a line under a scandal after months of headlines about Andrew’s ties to the U.S. financier Jeffrey Epstein, who killed himself in August while being held on federal sex-trafficking charges.
Speaking publicly for the first time about his relationship with Epstein, Queen Elizabeth’s second son gave an at times rambling and contradictory account. He said Epstein’s behavior had been “unbecoming,” but that he does not regret their friendship because of the opportunities it gave him to meet business people.
One of Epstein’s accusers, Virginia Giuffre, has said she was forced to have sex with Andrew in London, New York and on a private Caribbean island between 1999 and 2002, when she says Epstein kept her as a “sex slave.”
During the hour-long BBC interview broadcast on Saturday, Andrew gave a series of reasons why her account of meeting him sweating and dancing almost two decades ago at a London nightclub before having sex with him could not be true, including the fact he suffered from a medical condition that stopped him perspiring.

The duke made the claims in a BBC interview about his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

He also said that on the night he was alleged to have met her he was at home with his family after visiting a Pizza Express restaurant in Woking with his daughter Beatrice.
“I can absolutely, categorically tell you it never happened,” Andrew said. “I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady, none whatsoever.”
He defended his relationship with Epstein, saying it opened up opportunities as he transitioned out of the Navy.
“The people that I met and the opportunities that I was given to learn either by him or because of him were actually very useful,” he said.

Andrew also said he stayed at Epstein’s home in New York after the financier’s conviction because he was “too honorable.” Epstein had pleaded guilty in 2008 to Florida state prostitution charges.
“It was a convenient place to stay,” Andrew said. “But at the time I felt it was the honorable and right thing to do and I admit fully that my judgment was probably colored by my tendency to be too honorable but that’s just the way it is.”
Giuffre, who was previously named Virginia Roberts, has said that she first had sex with Andrew when she was 17 and underage.
A picture showing the prince with his arm around Giuffre’s waist from 2001 has appeared in British media. Andrew said that he recognized himself in the photograph, but he questioned its authenticity.
“I don’t believe that photograph was taken in the way that has been suggested,” Andrew said in the interview. “I don’t recollect that photograph ever being taken.”
He has previously denied any inappropriate relations with Giuffre.
Gloria Allred, a lawyer acting for alleged victims of Epstein, said Andrew should answer questions under oath.
“There is so much truth that is yet to be revealed,” she told Reuters. The prince should “should agree to testify under oath and also he should voluntarily agree to speak to law enforcement.”
When the allegations were first made, a Buckingham Palace spokesman said it was “emphatically denied” that Andrew had any form of sexual contact or relationship with Giuffre.
Andrew has previously said he stood by the palace statements and recently apologized over his friendship with Epstein.
The prince said he only visited Epstein’s New York home in 2010 after his release from prison in order to break off the friendship. The former investment banker was then a registered sex offender.
Epstein, 66, died by hanging himself in his Manhattan jail cell on Aug. 10. He had pleaded not guilty to the latest charges.
Andrew said he had seen no signs Epstein was procuring young girls for sex trafficking and that as patron of a UK charity campaign against child abuse he was alert to the dangers.
“I knew what the things were to look for, but I never saw them,” he said.
He appeared to be open to giving a statement under oath, saying in the interview: “If push came to shove and the legal advice was to do so, then I would be duty bound to do so.”

Raisins. It's 72 Raisins not virgins.
Legend has it that when Osama bin Laden's soul got to the afterlife, as he was anticipating his first crack at the virgins, George Washington tapped him on the shoulder and decked him with a punch to the face. "This is for what you did to my beloved country!" he cried. Whereupon Thomas Jefferson stepped up and kicked bin Laden in the belly, shouting "this is for what you did to my country!" James Madison stepped forward and stomped on bin Laden's face, shouting "This is for what you did to my people!" Bin Laden could see a long line of men just waiting to have their go at him, and he cried out "O Allah, the benevolent, the merciful, you promised me seventy-two virgins!"

A gigantic voice answered "You misread the text. I promised you seventy-two Virginians!"

HUNTER: Where in the world is Jeffrey Epstein's alleged 'pimp'?

Billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s ticket to hell was punched in early August.
He rode in economy, not first-class as was his penchant.
There were no stops. It was an express train to the burning embers for the Lacoste-wearing monster.
In the wake of the hedge fund manager’s death at the Manhattan Detention Centre (suicide or murder?) fingers are now being pointed at his coterie of powerful pals.
His royal buddy Prince Andrew’s reputation lies in tatters and Queen Elizabeth has stripped him of his duties and $320,000-year salary.
Story continues below
Other powerful men are hiding in the shadows, fearful they’ll be pressured to tell the FBI and federal prosecutors what they know about Epstein’s underage sex slave ring.
Alongside the Windsors, the Clintons and the Trumps, there is one woman cops are desperate to speak with.
From left, Prince Andrew, one of Epstein’s underage sex slaves Virginia Roberts and his alleged procurer, socialite Ghislaine Maxwell. Roberts claims Andrew and Epstein took part in an orgy with nine underage girls at the financier’s Caribbean compound.
Her name is Ghislaine Maxwell.
The 58-year-old British socialite has vanished. Epstein’s jet-setting muse was last spotted in late August at an In-N-Out in Los Angeles.
Since then? Nada.
“Ghislaine is like a James Bond character — she is quite a unique person,” friend Lady Victoria Hervey told Good Morning Britain. “I just don’t believe anyone is going to find her.”
Asked where she is now, Hervey could only speculate: “She’s gone far away.”
Maxwell grew up in wealth — and disgrace. Her father Robert pilfered the pension fund of his newspaper, the fabled Daily Mirror, and in the process brought the paper to its knees.

Pater took a tumble off his yacht — the Lady Ghislaine — and drowned while cruising in the Canary Islands in 1991 leaving behind a monumental financial scandal.
Ghislaine Maxwell fled to exile in New York shortly after where she met Epstein. It was the Brit society belle who introduced the Prince Andrew to Epstein.
Maxwell gave the dodgy financier social clout. He gave her money.
Prince Andrew gives an interview to the BBC on his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.
A number of Epstein’s victims, including Virginia Roberts, have claimed that not only did Maxwell lure them into her keeper’s sick world, she also took part in a number of sexual assaults.
Prince Andrew said in his disastrous TV interview that he last saw the mysterious Maxwell in June before the hammer came down on Epstein. He denied they discussed their mutual friend. Of course not!
But already, the U.S. Deptartment of Justice had announced they were reopening Epstein’s controversial Florida plea deal from 2008.
Instead of being jailed forever, the creepy mogul used his influence to have his charges reduced and a sweetheart jolt in jail where he carried on sexually molesting young girls.
One month later, the feds charged Epstein with sex trafficking and caged him until his trial.

That bit of news would have been about as welcome as a blizzard in July to two toffs like Maxwell and Andrew.
Maxwell has played the “who me?” card for years but her monogrammed noose is getting tighter.
The feds aren’t buying it. They know Maxwell can name names, reportedly in the hundreds. She is part of a criminal conspiracy.
For her part, she is reportedly desperate to keep the sordid secrets of the powerful secret.

Tough.
The stomach-churning systemic rapes of young teen girls, a billionaire getting less jail time than a shoplifter, and a prince unwilling or unable to show an iota of sympathy for the victims of a heinous crime.
Quite a posse.
And the socialite who prowled Central Park for teen girls as new cogs in Epstein’s wheel of depravity.
Yeah, the rich.
They are very different from you and me.

Just days after announcing his decision to “step down” from royal duties amid the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, Prince Andrew was reportedly told to clear out his Palace office.
According to the Times of London, the Duke of York’s office has moved out of Buckingham Palace. His staffers, including Amanda Thirsk, the private secretary responsible for encouraging the BBC interview, were let go.
Andrew was also forced to cancel a planned trip and meeting in Bahrain with Pitch@Palace – an Apprentice-style contest that helps new and emerging businesses network – as his leadership has come into question.
The Daily Telegraph later reported “the series of events will now be known simply as ‘Pitch’ and will continue to be run by the Duke’s former private secretary Amanda Thirsk.”
Buckingham Palace added “he is looking at how to take Pitch forward outside of his public duties and Buckingham Palace.”

Latest Epstein accuser calls on Prince Andrew to talk to U.S. authorities
His title as the Duke of York and his place as the eighth in line of succession to the throne will most likely be unaffected.
As readers know, Andrew spoke out about his years-long friendship with Epstein in an interview with the BBC.
The royal, 59, raised eyebrows by consorting with the financier who was allegedly involved in an underage sex trafficking scheme before he killed himself in prison. Epstein’s alleged victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre accused Andrew of sleeping with her three times in London, New York, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. She claimed one of those times was an orgy with nine other women.
But Andrew vehemently denied the claims, noting he has “no recollection of ever meeting” Giuffre. He claimed not to remember posing for a photo with her when she was 17 years old and insists he was unaware of Epstein’s sexual misconduct towards underage women.
After receiving harsh backlash calling out his unsympathetic attitude towards the alleged victims during the interview, Prince Andrew announced that Queen Elizabeth allowed him to step back from his duties.
“It has become clear to me over the last few days that the circumstances relating to my former association with Jeffrey Epstein has become a major disruption to my family’s work and the valuable work going on in the many organizations and charities that I am proud to support,” he said. “Therefore, I have asked Her Majesty if I may step back from public duties for the foreseeable future, and she has given her permission.”

Andrew then addressed some of the harsh critique he received following the interview.
“I continue to unequivocally regret my ill-judged association with Jeffrey Epstein,” he said in his statement. “His suicide has left many unanswered questions, particularly for his victims, and I deeply sympathize with everyone who has been affected and wants some form of closure. I can only hope that, in time, they will be able to rebuild their lives. Of course, I am willing to help any appropriate law enforcement agency with their investigations, if required.”
As Radar previously reported, Prince Andrew was recently spotted leaving Windsor Palace. Unfortunately, his royal life has spiraled out of control.

BLIZZARD: Debate in Britain focused on Royals instead of Brexit thanks to Prince Andrew

Britain is just three weeks away from voting in one of the most significant elections in recent history.
The outcome should finally put to rest the Brexit question: To stay or go?
But you’d never know that from the front pages of UK newspapers. They’re consumed with the fall-out from the shocking interview Prince Andrew gave the BBC on his relationship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who died in jail under mysterious circumstances earlier this year.
The arrogance and entitlement Andrew demonstrated have plunged the monarchy into a crisis that’s inserted itself into the election debate. Is the monarchy fit for purpose? Is Prince Andrew fit for purpose?
Those were the two questions put to both Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and Conservative Boris Johnson.
Story continues below
Corbyn, who’s wildly unpopular and derided for anti-Semitism in some circles, is flagging in the polls. Yet he earned warm applause from the studio audience by expressing concern for Epstein’s victims and telling viewers “no one’s above the law.”
Johnson was more supportive of the monarchy and got only a tepid response.
I suspect that’s what prompted the Queen to cut Andrew off from his official duties later in the week. Andrew released a statement expressing concerns for Epstein’s victims and saying he’s willing to make himself available to U.S. investigators.
As an institution, the monarchy steadfastly takes great care to stay out of politics. Her Majesty and her heir apparent, Andrew’s brother Prince Charles, were not pleased to have it become part of the political discourse.

EPSTEIN SEX TRAFFICKING VICTIM: 'Prince Andrew belongs in jail'
Not only did the Queen force Andrew to step down, she made him quit his office in Buckingham Palace and stripped him of his publicly-funded allowance of about $450,000. Any money he gets now will come from his personal wealth or from the Queen’s private fortune.
This doesn’t augur well for his daughter, Beatrice, who’s planning her wedding next year. It will likely be a greatly scaled back affair. Taxpayers furious at Andrew’s interview will balk at spending money on a lavish royal wedding for his daughter.
This is a crisis that in many ways is worse than Princess Diana’s 1995 TV interview, where she talked about Prince Charles’ infidelity.
“There were three of us in this marriage,” she said at the time, “so it was a bit crowded.”
And it’s as bad as the fall-out from the royal response to the death of Diana in a car crash in 1997. Caught in their own vortex of grief, the Royal Family at first underestimated the public outpouring of anguish at Diana’s death.
This election is critical. It was supposed to break the logjam in the House of Commons. Those opposed to Johnson’s plan to leave the EU had tied the House of Commons into a legislative knot. He was unable to achieve anything. Johnson’s hoping for a majority government so he can finally push ahead with his plans to pull the UK out of the EU.
Corbyn’s been cagey about his plans. He’s said he’ll negotiate another deal with the EU within three months, if he’s elected, and put that new deal to the electorate for approval. He’s also said he’d remain neutral during the debate, leaving many of his own supporters frustrated at his wishy-washy stand.
Some polls show it’s Corbyn and the leftwing Labour Party that’s losing votes to the Brexit Party. Before the election, it was feared the Tories would suffer from vote splitting with Brexiteers.
Johnson appears headed to a majority government in the Dec. 12 vote. With a volatile electorate and so many random factors in play, anything can happen.
With Britain’s future with the EU in doubt, with the economy suffering from the uncertainty, all eyes should be on the election. They’re debating, instead, whether royals are worth their salt.
Andrew has become front and centre and politicians are tap-dancing around him. And he’s banished by the Queen.
My guess is the UK will soon be celebrating a very merry Brexit. Everyone except Andrew, that is.

Jeffery Epstein’s purported pimp Ghislaine Maxwell may be ready to finally talk to the FBI after vanishing off the face of the earth for months.
The socialite school friend of Prince Andrew has been widely accused of procuring underage girls for the late pedophile.
She has emphatically denied playing a role in the billionaire’s sex trafficking ring.
According to published reports, Maxwell feels she needs to defend her self and the disgraced prince who have both been accused of engaging in sex with underage girls.
“Ghislaine is preparing to speak, whether by talking to the FBI or giving a statement to the media. She has to defend herself. She has no option. She will have to address this guilt by association,” a friend told The UK Sun.
From left, Prince Andrew, one of Jeffery Epstein’s underage sex slaves Virginia Roberts and his alleged procurer, socialite Ghislaine Maxwell. Roberts claims Andrew and Epstein took part in an orgy with nine underage girls at the financier’s Caribbean compound. Maxwell believes the photo was doctored.
Maxwell, 57, is the daughter of disgraced publishing baron Robert Maxwell.
She briefly dated Epstein in the early 1990s but remained by his side most of the time. It was Maxwell who introduced the royal to Epstein.

Meanwhile, another alleged victim is pointing the finger at the prince, claiming he groped her.
Johanna Sjoberg is now reportedly offering the FBI key evidence about Andrew’s relationship with Epstein.
She has claimed Andrew grabbed her breast at Epstein’s home when she was 21.
“As a victim of Epstein, Sjoberg’s testimony over how she was recruited and abused is vital to the FBI,” a source told the Daily Mirror.
“Despite Epstein’s suicide, they are *determined all those who enabled his crimes will face justice. It is a promise they made to the victims,” the source said.
“Andrew has had serious allegations made against him and agents are determined that a person’s standing in life does not make them immune from being *questioned,” the source added.
Prince Andrew has denied all wrongdoing.
Epstein, 66, purportedly killed himself in his Manhattan jail cell in August while awaiting trial on numerous sex trafficking charges.
