  1. So, the source of this story (The Mirror) is a bit dubious, but given everything coming out in the #EpsteinFiles , I wouldn't put it past him!

    #JeffreyEpstein 'in plot for ex-SAS sniper to kill Andrew and #Fergie'

    A royal author has extraordinarily claimed the #paedophile financier planned to silence the ex-Yorks, and that the plans were only scuppered when he died in prison

    Liam Doyle, Nov 2025

    "Jeffrey Epstein explored hiring an ex-SAS hitman to assassinate Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson in a desperate bid to silence the couple, it has been claimed.

    Royal author and historian #AndrewLownie has claimed the paedophile financier had become increasingly paranoid as he awaited trial for federal sex trafficking charges in 2019. Before he died by suicide in prison, he allegedly 'spoke to a hitman' who had served as a sniper in Britain's elite #SpecialAirService regiment and confessed he wanted the two Yorks dead, fearing they could spill his secrets."

  2. Is Palantir the most evil company in the world?

  3. 4/ one thing i wonder about that is not covered in the substack post is whether china ended up taking over part of Epstein's financial operations. i can offer only weak evidence for this theory but among other things:

    a) Epstein died 3 months after the first and by far largest crypto #stablecoin (#Tether) really started ramping up its chinese operations by bringing #JustinSun on board.

    b) Epstein was in regular correspondence with at least one of the founders of #Tether at the time the company was founded

    c) i have heard a lot of rumours from semi-credible people in the asian crypto industry that Tether started as a russian money laundry before evolving into a chinese money laundry. even putting those rumours aside it's been extensively reported that #Tether moves enormous amounts of money for Russian oligarchs, organized crime groups, and middle eastern autocracies, AKA "the same kind of people that hung out with jeffrey epstein"

    d) there's almost no asian women in epstein's correspondence of any kind but then suddenly a few years before his death epstein starts emailing at least two young chinese girls. he flies both of them from china to the US and IIRC maybe europe too.

  4. oh look, Jeffrey Epstein appears to have been an investor in one of the O.G. blockchain companies and one of the companies most closely tied to #Tether, Adam Back and Austin Hill's #Blockstream.

  5. The thread about the Forth Dam megaproject; why bridge the Firth when you can block it?

    Here’s one for you that I bet you’ve probably never heard of: did you know that in 1928 there was a proposal to cross the Firth of Forth by building a dam across it? This will be a short thread, by nature of the dearth of information available, but hopefully a useful record of this bold initiative.

    The scheme was the brainchild of Matthew Steele, a Bo’ness-born architect whose work focused on retail and housing, first in an Arts & Crafts and later in the Moderne style, and includes the Hippodrome cinema. In this endeavour he was joined by fellow Bo’nessite John Jeffrey; hotelier and burgh councillor.

    This was a time before the Kincardine swing bridge was built (not completed until 1936) and there was much public debate about the best manner and location for a road vehicle crossing of the Forth downstream of Stirling. The Firth had of course been crossed way back in the 1890s by the rail bridge.

    Jeffrey and Steele’s proposal was to throw a 7,300 foot long barrage (1.3 miles, 2.2km) across the Firth and lay a roadway along the top of it for vehicular traffic. It would run from just west of Port Edgar on the south shore to a point a quarter of a mile to the west of North Queensferry. You’ll be as totally thrilled as I was to find it to know that there’s a sketch plan!

    “The Proposed Forth Dam”, Edinburgh Evening News – Monday 15 December 1930

    You’ll notice that the project wasn’t just a dam: in order to maintain navigation along the Forth it was planned to cut a 2,500ft (762m) long channel between Inverkeithing harbour and St. Margaret’s Bay, complete with locks on the scale of the Panama Canal. This latter point was critical as Rosyth was the principal dockyard in Scotland of the Royal Navy’s Home Fleet and was on the upstream side of the dam. The channel would have to be allow passage by the fleet’s largest battleships such as HMS Hood, the 47,000 ton, 860ft long pride of the nation.

    It was Steele’s contention that by building the foundations of the dam to the west of the Beamer Rock (where the modern Queensferry Crossing finds its footings) it would be easier and cheaper than forming the base for bridge piers. The promoters put forward a number of claimed benefits for their dam:

    1. Firstly, it would bring thousands of construction jobs to the out-of-work miners of Bo’ness, Stirlingshire, West Lothian and Fife, many more so than would be required to build a bridge.
    2. Secondly, a steel bridge would be built with steel that inevitably came from Lanarkshire and would not directly benefit the Forth coast, and would require specialised steel fabricators rather than the sort of work that would suit the skills of miners.
    3. Thirdly, the dam would help the region find a convenient way to dispose of its surplus of ugly and often dangerous coal and shale bings, which would provide the perfect infill material.
    4. Fourth, and dubiously, they proposed that a new level of the Forth would form a fresh water lake several feet about the natural high tide level thus ridding the estuary of its “hideous black mud-flats“. This, of course, would actually have been an ecological disaster as those mudflats are a rich and critical biome.
    5. The elevated water level of the new Loch Forth would benefit shipbuilding in Bo’ness and Grangemouth it was claimed, as with deeper water they could launch larger ships, and the docks of these towns could support larger vessels without tidal restrictions.
    6. The giant new lake, cut off from the roughness and vagaries of the sea, would be perfect for the landing of seaplanes, and military and civilian bases were proposed. (Alan Cobham had sent Leith aviation crazy in June 1928 by arriving at its docks in his flying boat.)
    7. To top off the lengthy list of benefits of the Forth Dam, “the water… could be used to create hydro-electric power for all the Forth Valley” and would be a “big inducement in bringing new factories to West Lothian, Stirlingshire and parts of Fife“.

    The roadway along the dam would drastically shorten the distance for vehicular traffic across the Firth and “fast water buses” were also proposed to work passenger transport: Jeffrey foresaw “his man-made lake becoming a highly popular water playground for the whole of Central Scotland“. He imagined it would be akin to the Swiss lakes – or more realistically the Clyde or Loch Lomond – and be served by pleasure steamers visiting picturesque new coastal villages.

    The intrepid pair set about touting their scheme and trying to gain supporters, which started with a letter to The Scotsman on July 7th 1928 and proceeded onto the pages of the West Lothian Courier and Linlithgowshire Gazette. Locally, they found both vocal support and also incredulity. Jeffrey upped the ante – “When is this squandering of public money going to cease?” he demanded, in the Gazette in 1930, referring to the “millions” being spent on the Dole rather than progressing his scheme. But a lukewarm response was received when details of the scheme were sent to the Prince of Wales (heir to the throne and later Edward VIII), whose private secretary politely declined his patronage saying the Prince couldn’t possibly look into every crackpot scheme that crossed his desk. Instead, the secretary forwarded the scheme on to the Secretary of State for Scotland, Godfrey Collins, from whose intray it never appears to have resurfaced. Within a year or so, it was superseded by serious bridge schemes in the Queensferry area.

    The war of course then intervened and the Forth wouldn’t get its downstream road bridge until 1964, but it did gets its car ferries between South and North Queensferry in 1934. You can read more about their amusing habits of running aground in this previous thread. Sixty years later, a smaller barrage scheme, but one that would have been environmentally destructive too, was put forward to infill Wardie Bay between Leith and Granton harbours. You can read more about that over on its own thread.
