How Disgraced Prince  Andrew Attempted To Build A Suit Of Armor Out Of Philanthropy

How Disgraced Prince Andrew Attempted To Build A Suit Of Armor Out Of Philanthropy

For years, Prince Andrew held dozens — some estimates put it around 200 — of charity patronages and official royal-charity affiliations. Through Prince Andrew Charitable Trust (PACT), and initiatives such as his youth-education and entrepreneurship efforts, he presented himself as a public-spirited royal using his status to do good. That network of charities and institutions provided him with a veneer of respectability and influence: being associated with educational causes, technology and enterprise awards, youth outreach, and philanthropic work helped him cultivate an image of legitimacy and public service. This charitable web likely served as a buffer — intended to reassure the public and institutions that despite the scandal swirling around him, he remained a committed royal working for social good.

But as the scandal involving Jeffrey Epstein and abuse allegations gained traction, that armor cracked. After his controversial 2019 media interview, many charities began severing ties: dozens publicly removed him as patron, fearing reputational damage. Moreover, regulatory scrutiny exposed mis-management in his own charity: the watchdog closed PACT after finding unlawful payments (hundreds of thousands of pounds) to a trustee linked to his staff, forcing the charity to return the money. What began as a shield against scandal became, for many observers, proof that his charitable works lacked proper governance — and that the network he hoped would protect him instead deepened the perceived misconduct.

The Department Of Justice And Their Argument To Keep El Chapo Behind Bars (Part 7)

Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, the former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, has had his appeal to overturn his 2019 life sentence rejected by a U.S. court. Guzman was convicted on charges including drug trafficking, operating a criminal enterprise, and firearms violations. His legal team argued that his trial was unfair due to jury misconduct and the harsh conditions of his solitary confinement, which they claimed impacted his ability to mount a defense.Despite these arguments, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the original verdict, praising the trial judge's management of the high-profile case and rejecting the claims of juror misconduct. The court also dismissed the argument regarding Guzman's solitary confinement, stating it did not infringe on his right to a fair trial.In this episode, we take a look at the DOJ's El Chapo Brief.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Chapo-ca2-us-brief.pdf (courthousenews.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Sandringham Clears Its Rats and Rehouses a Two-Legged One Named  Andrew  (1/20/26)

Sandringham Clears Its Rats and Rehouses a Two-Legged One Named Andrew (1/20/26)

As workers continue preparing Marsh Farm on King Charles’s Sandringham estate for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s impending relocation, a pest control van from Command Pest Control was recently spotted at the property — a sign that staff are dealing with the kinds of rodents and other critters that often invade old country homes, especially in winter when rats and mice seek warmth indoors. Command Pest Control, which holds a Royal Warrant, specializes in removing unwanted pests like rats, mice, squirrels, and wasp nests, and sightings of the vehicle underscore the basic, unglamorous work involved in readying the modest five-bedroom farmhouse for the disgraced royal’s arrival.The moment is rich with unintended symbolism: as a man once enveloped in royal privilege is being moved into a far humbler estate residence, pest controllers are literally hunting rats at the place he’s set to occupy. That juxtaposition has not been lost on observers, who note the irony of a two-legged “rat” of scandal and controversy — Andrew, whose reputation has been shredded by his links to Jeffrey Epstein — being housed among four-legged rats, the kind property managers are actively trying to evict. It’s a vivid, almost satirical image of how drastically his circumstances have changed, from Windsor grandeur to rural pest preparation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ratcatcher pest firm is spotted outside Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's new Sandringham home - while former prince rides horse near Royal Lodge as he prepares to move out | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
