Reuters - King Charles strips brother Andrew of titles and his mansion

 

Summary

 

    Andrew stripped of all his royal titles
    King's brother forced out of his mansion
    Andrew faced growing scrutiny over ties to Epstein
    Charles made decision to protect monarchy

 


LONDON, Oct 30 (Reuters) - Britain's King Charles has stripped his younger brother Andrew of his title of prince and forced him out of his Windsor home, Buckingham Palace said on Thursday, seeking to distance the royals from him over his links to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. ...

 

Charles has now escalated his actions against Andrew by stripping him of all his titles, leaving him to be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

 

The Buckingham Palace statement said a formal notice had now been served on Andrew to surrender the lease of his Royal Lodge mansion on the Windsor Estate, west of London, and he will move to alternative private accommodation on the Sandringham estate in eastern England.

 



 

This is an extraordinary punishment - unheard-of in the annals of the modern British royal family.

 

Randy Andy kaput.  😟

 

 

Apparently it last happened in 1919, when Prince Ernest Augustus, the Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale and Earl of Armagh who was a UK royal and also a Prince of Hanover, had his British title removed for siding with Germany during World War I.

Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

What gets me is that Andrew has/had protection and MI spy agencies watching out for him?
Its very hard to think he was not warned in detail about his dangerous associations.

 

So very deliberate, knowing more than average bunny.

Some back story on populist Republican, representative South Carolina Republican congresswoman, Nacy Mace. She is frequently compared to Marjorie Taylor Greene. Though she's recently elected, she once filed a resolution to expel black Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver after she was charged with two counts of assaulting, resisting and impeding an officer.

Under the law, members of Congress are authorized to go into federal immigration facilities as part of their oversight powers, even without notice. Congress passed a 2019 appropriations bill that spelled out the authority.

McIver said she was carrying out her duty as a member of Congress to oversee an ICE run facility, a federal immigration facility.

It also involved Interim U.S. Attorney Alina Habba charging Democratic Newark Mayor Ras Baraka with trespassing after his arrest.

An entitled "Karen" seems like a very appropriate description.

Republican Representative Nancy Mace curses, berates confused cops in Airport meltdown: police report: Wired

the South Carolina Republican congresswoman, unleashed a tirade against law enforcement at the Charleston International Airport on Thursday, WIRED has learned.

According to an incident report obtained by WIRED under South Carolina’s Freedom of Information Act, Mace cursed at police officers, making repeated derogatory comments toward them. The report says that a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) supervisor told officers that Mace had treated their staff similarly.
...
officers with the Charleston County Aviation Authority Police Department were tasked with meeting Mace at 6:30 am to escort her from the curb to her flight and had been told that she would be arriving in a white BMW at the ticketing curb area.

...
Instead Mace was at the entrance for the Known Crewmember program ... intended for flight crew members.
...
When officers quickly located her the congresswoman immediately began “loudly cursing and making derogatory comments to us about the department. She repeatedly stated we were ‘F__king incompetent,’ and ‘this is no way to treat a f__king US Representative,’” the report states.

“She also said we would never treat [fellow Republican conservative South Carolina Senate colleague] Tim Scott like this” says one officer tasked with escorting Mace says in the report.

“The entire walk to gate B-8 she was cursing and complaining and often doing the same into her phone,” an officer writes in the report. In the main incident report, an officer notes that Mace was yelling into her phone, either on a phone call or dictating text messages. “After standing in the vicinity of the gate for several minutes with her continuing her tirade, she finally boarded the aircraft.”

After Mace’s flight took off, the report states, an American Airlines gate agent approached the officers. According to the report, he “stated he was in disbelief regarding her behavior. He implied that a US Representative should not be acting the way she was.”

Republicans: the party of law and order, as long as it's for someone else.

Reportedly, when Andrew was asked 'do you think you'll get away with it?', he answered, yep, no sweat . 😄

 

 

 

Seriously tho, he has been exposed not only as a pedo but also as a shameless liar. The affair has also shown his ex-wife sordidly begging Epstein for money, and also lying that she had broken off contact when she had not.

 

The affair undermines the legitimacy of the royal family as being entitled to rule because they're better than the plebs. 

 

Cue much desperate media management by the next in line and his wife to avoid this affair's fall out and paint them as normal, as much as is possible anyway.





Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21

Re: "New York mayor Zohran plans to incorporate ‘Arabic’ numbers into New York City schools"

From wikipedia: "The Arabic numerals are ten symbols (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) used for writing numbers. "

A number of tweets went out similar to Polymarkets: "BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani to require all New York elementary school students to learn Arabic numerals.""

Polymarket is business where you can bet on anything. Real money betting on yes/no question, past examples
  • will Zelensky wear a suit at next meeting of Trump?

  • will someone will throw a dildo onto a basketball court during an NBA game?

  • Was Trump's son Baron Trump involved in a bitcoin rug pull to make millions? (by the way they initially voted "yes" but later removed the bet after protested.)
There’s no strong pattern of consistent ideological trolling from Polymarket. It seems more like a provocative joke or “memey” marketing than a dedicated strategy to troll a political group.

Once a Polymarket intern snuck in this tweet with a hidden sur to their official business channel, and got fired, so it's possible it's that again "This market will resolve to 'Yes' if the crypto token RETARDIO is listed for spot purchase on one of the listed exchanges by March 31, 2024"

Rumours that Zohran Mamdani plans to incorporate ‘Arabic’ numbers into New York City schools debunked: The National

A technicality over the definition of global numerical systems led to X users sparking a false trending topic about New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani this week, with some taking to the platform to debate a fabricated policy that Mamdani would require NYC students to learn “Arabic” numbers in school.

X’s Grok AI highlighted the misinformation in a trending moment, writing that X users were outraged over the fake news, “despite Arabic numerals being standard in schools worldwide since Arab scholars spread them from India centuries ago”.

Several fact-check news organisations have debunked the claim, showing that Mamdani made no such declaration.

MAGA deplorables having a go at each other in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death (as MAGA starts to wane). And there are some weird conspiracies popping up, too 🤔

The NY Times - Several of Kennedy’s Dietary Advisers Have Ties to Meat and Dairy Interests

 

09 Jan 2026

 


Soon after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was sworn in as the nation’s health secretary, he promised to overhaul the federal nutrition guidelines.

 

A key step, he said, would be to “toss out the people who were writing the guidelines with conflicts of interest.” His own panel, he said, would “have no conflicts of interest.”

 

But the new guidelines, which were released Wednesday and emphasize protein, meat, cheese and milk, were informed by a panel of experts with several ties to the meat and dairy industries.

 

Three of the nine members have received grants or done consulting work for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association ...

 

At least three members have financial ties to dairy industry organizations, such as the National Dairy Council. 

 

Another is a co-creator of a high-protein meal replacement product. 

 

 

What are "healthy fats" ?   🙄

Eric Adams, charged with bribery and campaign finance irregularities, finding himself unemployed goes for the rug-pull. Potentially $2.5M so far.

 

NYC Token.

 

NYC Token, as they say in the T&C of offering are never intended to have any monetary value.!? 
Oh like the Argentine one turned out to be, and 1000's of others.

 

On one hand it will foster Education, fight Anti-Americanism, Scholarships, on the other they say its worthless.
The traditional rug-pull, has already hollowed it out, and they can always double or triple tap it if they hang in with promotion. 

 

While Eric Adams promotes you can pay your NY Taxi fare with it. Which you can't.

 

he didn't change the game
