**EPSTEIN, ‘PRINCE’ ANDREW, GHISLAINE MAXWELL — WHO INFLUENCED WHOM ??**

Those of you paying any attention will know I took a wee walk on the wild side with some of my meanderings recently about the impact of what I describe in “Maggie’s Hammer” as beginning in earnest in London in the Eighties (https://maggieshammer.org/).

The Iran-Iraq War turbo-charging illegal arms sales; global networks forming; engaging in arms, drugs, money-laundering; all focused on London, with its reputation for corrupt financing; and all carrying forward to modern times and headline scandals of the moment. And, of course, the involvement of the subject of MH, Hugh Simmonds CBE, close confidant of Margaret Thatcher and money-laundering whiz kid.

The wild part was instigated with the allegations in 2019 by Ari Ben-Menashe that Epstein got his start in London in the Eighties, with his own involvement in all these shenanigans (https://tinyurl.com/5yt3v94e). I may have taken the ‘wild’ a step further with respect to ‘Prince’ Andrew.

Before the 2019 Ari revelations (do I need to mention one more time that Ari was one of my primary sources for MH?), the accepted storyline was that Epstein met Ghislaine in the late Nineties, and maybe Andrew some time after that. And that Epstein was blackmailing Andrew.

I did some digging around. Put two and two together. And have been positing a different take.

Epstein was introduced to Robert Maxwell (British publishing billionaire, arms-dealer, and Mossad asset) while in London in the Eighties. Through Cap’n Bob, Epstein was then recruited by Ari, and also met Ghislaine. The latter was great friends with Andrew, and the three of them all partied together.

It is my contention that Andrew and Ghislaine introduced Epstein to the sordid sexual antics of the British upper-crust and nobility, not the other way round. That Andrew, like Epstein, had interests in promoting arms sales. And that the two were always co-equal partners ‘in crime.’ Which is why Andrew found it so hard to abandon the connection, and why Charles effectively exiled him internally (https://tinyurl.com/556cujfy).

Now this might be all so much hogwash. But for the attached pic. It appears to be real. It is undated. But, one can get a sense of date from the looks of Epstein and Ghislaine. And I would say this is more likely late Eighties than late Nineties. But, I could be wrong.

In any event, if the described three-way was just passing happenstance, then what on earth is Epstein doing on the Royal Balmoral Estate, whatever the year? [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balmoral_Castle]
