I was going for the idea of fallen royalty and involvement in crime, but I think we can’t rule out the possibility he was also trying to steal his title back so I quite like your read too.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for letting me know! I’ll be sure to add more context if I post one of these again.
For this one, I guess I should have added that Pizza Express was his alibi for how he could not have met the person who accused him of rape. It was a disastrous interview in 2019 that I expect has come back to haunt him. archive.md/mPBis

Thanks, I always try to include them, but I’m never sure whether to keep it as alt text or put it as a caption, or how well alt text works on Lemmy.
Out of curiosity, why do you find them helpful if it’s not for vision reasons? I apologise if that’s too personal a question.

- Comment on What are we being distracted from? 3 weeks ago:
The Epstein files obviously contain a lot of information about rape and trafficking, which is very understandably and rightly in the spotlight. But what the files also contain is very detailed information about exactly how our laws and financial systems are being actively exploited to maintain the power of a select few. That is something that is much harder to write a quick article about, by design, but we haven’t even seen some of these names mentioned in the media:
- de Rothschild (with a very illustrative diagram in EFTA01114424)
- Thiel
- Rockefeller
- Murdoch
- von Habsburg
And those are just individuals, not companies. We haven’t heard anything about JP Morgan Chase, Sotheby’s, Goldman Sachs… Or even the universities like Harvard.
You can’t usually pull a single short damning quote from an email for them because it’s not as simple as the horror of one person raping children, but it lays the foundation of how this horror was allowed to continue at such a large scale by so many people.

Same for Japan. No chance they’re wearing full hiking boots or sneakers inside the house in Japan - the shoe cabinet is built in right next to the front door of houses, tiny apartments, temples, many restaurants, etc.
- Comment on If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED. 5 weeks ago:
Careful of your eyes! I’m pretty sure you need a special filter or telescope for the sun

While the conclusion of it being replaced with an LED is obviously not what happened, I think it’s very possible that the sun was often orange for him when he was growing up, because of air pollution.
30 years ago, depending on where you lived, there were more cars on the road with less efficient fuel consumption, more people using fireplaces, more people burning trash, less regulation of various industries etc. Searching for images with the phrase “smoke pollution sun” will give you a lot of photos of orange suns, and they’re definitely not all altered for effect. I’ve seen red suns in real life too when wildfires are really bad near my area even though that’s thankfully rare.
We know not the sun itself that is orange, but in a polluted environment it certainly looks like it is - and if you don’t get a great education, I can see how you might think that’s the actual color of the sun.
