El escándalo de Jeffrey Epstein golpea a la monarquía británica y pone en aprietos al rey Carlos III y al príncipe William
Las vinculaciones de Andrés Mountbatten Windsor con Jeffrey Espstein están amenazando la estabilidad de la monarquía británica y al propio rey Carlos y su esposa, la reina Camilla. Los legisladores norteamericanos quieren saber qué sabían el rey y la reina sobre Andrés y poco les importa su status, en momentos en que el soberano va a iniciar una visita oficial a Estados Unidos ¿Es que suspenderá la visita?.
No solo el rey fue abucheado dos veces públicamente en dos semanas con preguntas sobre cómo ocultaban la conducta de Andrés de la policía. Hoy los legisladores norteamericanos cuestionan al monarca, hasta dónde sabía sobre el Caso Epstein y su vinculación con Andrés y si la Casa de Windsor va a sobrevivir o no el escándalo. Creen que debe declarar y contar al igual que la reina Camila. “No se pueden ofender porque les preguntan”, aseguran.
Una cuestión, que está siendo abiertamente discutida en Estados Unidos, es un tema tabú en el reino, que se conformó con cuidadosos comunicados del palacio y del príncipe William sobre el caso y su solidaridad con las víctimas.
“Esta es el momento en que la monarquía ha estado más débil. El rey debe contar qué sabe. Debe responder preguntas. La penalización no solo es que Andrew dejó de ser príncipe sino que hay más cosas que responder. No es suficiente ” dijo Ro Khanna, un representante demócrata norteamericano, que forma parte del Comité sobre Epstein.
Khana se mostró asombrado porque la reina Camila se enfureció cuando la prensa le preguntó sobre el Caso Epstein. “No sé cuales son las costumbres británicas. Pero vamos!. Los periodistas pueden hacerle preguntas a la reina” dijo.
William, el futuro heredero y príncipe de Gales, se ha enfrentado abiertamente a su padre, el rey porque considera que el caso Andrés y Epstein puede destruir el prestigio de la monarquía.
Siente que Carlos no es suficientemente duro con Andrés y su familia. Eugenie y Beatrice, las hijas de Fergie y Andrés, deberían perder sus títulos de princesas y sus privilegios. Es lo que el hará el cuando llegue al trono.
Hoy el caso está opacando su difícil visita a Arabia Saudita para encontrarse con un príncipe heredero cuestionado por asesinato de Jamal Kashoggi, un periodista saudita en Estambul: Mohammed bin Salman, el rey de facto de la Casa de Suad.
El Príncipe de Gales ignoró las preguntas sobre su tío Andrés Mountbatten-Windsor y las consecuencias de las revelaciones en los archivos de Epstein .
Durante una visita oficial a un centro deportivo en Riad, la capital saudí, un periodista le preguntó: «Señor, ¿Hasta qué punto cree que la Familia Real ha hecho lo suficiente en relación con el asunto de Andrés y Epstein?». Le hicieron la misma pregunta dos veces. William no solo no respondió, sino que continuó conversando con una mujer que pasaba por allí.
El Palacio de Buckingham ha declarado ayer que apoyará a la policía en su investigación sobre Andrés Mountbatten-Windsor y sus vínculos con el pedófilo financiero Jeffrey Epstein. Nunca visto antes, aunque les parezca insuficiente a los legisladores norteamericanos. .
El rey enfatizó su «profunda preocupación» por la presunta conducta de su hermano y afirmó que el Palacio brindaría ayuda a la policía si la solicitaba. No tiene antecedentes en Gran Bretaña pero no impresiona a los legisladores del Comité que investiga a Epstein.
La Policía de Thames Valley ha ampliado su investigación sobre Andrés, quien ya estaba siendo investigado por acusaciones de que le presentaron a una segunda víctima de Epstein —alguien distinto a Virginia Giuffre— en la Logia Real en 2010. Andrew niega haber actuado mal.
La policía confirmó que también evaluará las acusaciones de que Andrés filtró información confidencial como enviado comercial.
Andrés está refugiado en Wood House, una casa donde su padre, el príncipe Felipe, decidió evadirse después de retirarse de la vida pública en el palacio de Sandringham. Su nueva casa no está terminada y no quiere mudarse allí porque da a una calle pública, donde puede ser amenazado por los vecinos, que no lo quieren en el área.

The Israeli military’s latest wave of airstrikes in Iran dealt a serious blow to the country’s brutal internal security apparatus, opening the door for a potential uprising.
During the strikes, Israel «dropped dozens of munitions on the Basij and internal security command centers that are subject to the Iranian terror regime,» the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement on Wednesday. «The targeted command centers were used by the Iranian regime to maintain control throughout Iran and maintain the regime’s situational assessments.»
Since the start of Operation Epic Fury, the U.S. has hit nearly 2,000 targets as it carries out a sweeping military campaign aimed at dismantling the regime’s security apparatus and neutralizing threats. Adm. Brad Cooper of U.S. Central Command confirmed the number of targets hit in a video message.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Basij militia, Iran’s volunteer paramilitary force, were behind the violent crackdown on protesters in January. The bloody crackdown saw regime actors firing on crowds and conducting mass arrests of Iranian protesters. Some had seen the protests as a sign that regime change in Iran was getting nearer, though it did not occur.

Israeli and U.S. officials have hinted at the possibility of regime change in Iran as both countries take aim at Tehran’s military and security sites.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video message announcing the launch of Operation Epic Fury, which Israel calls Operation Rising Lion, that it was time for Iranians «to rid themselves of the yoke of tyranny.» Similarly, President Donald Trump said in a message to the Iranian people on Feb. 28 that «the hour of your freedom is at hand.»
«When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be, probably, your only chance for generations,» Trump said.

ISRAELI MINISTER OUTLINES IRAN MISSION GOALS, SAYS IRANIAN PEOPLE NOW HAVE CHANCE TO ‘REGAIN THEIR FREEDOM’
«America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force. Now is the time to seize control of your destiny, and to unleash the prosperous and glorious future that is close within your reach. This is the moment for action. Do not let it pass,» the president added.
Ali Vaez, director of the Iran project at the International Crisis Group, told The Wall Street Journal that the path to regime change through foreign airstrikes and popular uprising on the ground has «a bet that rests on no clear historical model.» Vaez also warned that the idea «ignores the resilience of entrenched authoritarian systems like the Islamic Republic.»
The IDF said on Monday that Israel had hit headquarters, bases and regional command centers that belonged to the regime’s internal security apparatus.
«These bodies were responsible for, among other things, suppressing protests against the regime through violent measures and civilian arrests,» the IDF said.

It is unclear who will lead Iran after the country’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed on the first day of the operation. Since then, Israel and the U.S. have made it clear that regime leaders chosen to replace him would be targets. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned on Wednesday that anyone chosen to replace Khamenei would be considered «a target for elimination» if they continued to threaten Israel, the U.S. and regional allies.
The killing of key leaders might not be enough to cause an uprising, as the regime has a monopoly on weapons in most of Iran, the WSJ reported, adding that Basij militants are still patrolling the streets.

Gorsuch name-checks Founding Fathers who were ‘habitual’ drinkers in SCOTUS fight over marijuana users
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Justice Neil Gorsuch spent a portion of the Supreme Court’s oral arguments this week exploring what a «habitual drunkard» is as part of a case centered on whether a drug user is allowed to own a gun.
Gorsuch questioned a Department of Justice lawyer on how gun restrictions for habitual drunkards in early American history compared to today’s law restricting drug users from owning guns. The DOJ was required to point to a strong historical comparison to prove the modern law was constitutional, and it chose to use the founding-era laws about habitual drunkards.
«The American Temperance Society, back in the day, said eight shots of whiskey a day only made you an occasional drunkard,» Gorsuch said.
A habitual drunkard, Gorsuch said, had to «double that.»

The conservative justice pointed to the Founding Fathers’ drinking habits to convey his skepticism about the DOJ’s argument that a habitual drunkard was similar to a modern-day drug user and that both were worthy of being disarmed.
«John Adams took a tankard of hard cider with his breakfast every day. James Madison reportedly drank a pint of whiskey every day. Thomas Jefferson said he wasn’t much of a user of alcohol. He only had three or four glasses of wine a night,» Gorsuch said.
SUPREME COURT RULING ON SECRETIVE CALIFORNIA GENDER POLICY COULD RESHAPE PARENT RIGHTS FIGHTS NATIONWIDE
«Are they habitual drunkards who would be properly disarmed for life under your theory?» Gorsuch said.
The case, U.S. v. Hemani, centered on a Texas man who had been charged after the FBI discovered he possessed a handgun and smoked marijuana every other day. The law at issue, 922(g)(3), gained national attention after President Joe Biden’s son Hunter was convicted under it for possessing a gun in 2018 while addicted to crack cocaine.

«We don’t even know the quantity of how much he uses every other day. What if he took one gummy bear with a medical prescription in Colorado?» Gorsuch asked. «Let’s say he had one to help him sleep every other day. Disarm him for life?»
The DOJ argued the man, Ali Hemani, illegally owned the gun while a habitual user of marijuana and that he was rightly charged for it. Second Amendment advocates are closely watching the case. The National Rifle Association and Gun Owners of America are supporting Hemani, while several Democratic states are backing the DOJ in the case, setting up strange alliances in a test of what exceptions to gun ownership are allowed by law.
An attorney for Hemani argued to the Supreme Court that the DOJ could not adequately define what a habitual drug user was.

«The only historical tradition it has offered is one of imposing restrictions on habitual drunkards,» the lawyer said. «That entire line of argument rests on a category mistake because the laws to which the government points applied only to habitual drunkards, not to habitual drinkers.»
The DOJ, meanwhile, downplayed the implications of the law, saying in court papers that it would impose only a «limited, inherently temporary» restriction on a drug user that the person could remove by curtailing drug use.
«This restriction provides a modest, modern analogue of much harsher founding-era restrictions on habitual drunkards, and so it stands solidly within our Nation’s history and tradition of regulation,» DOJ lawyers wrote. «And habitual illegal drug users with firearms present unique dangers to society—especially because they pose a grave risk of armed, hostile encounters with police officers while impaired.»

Gorsuch was among several justices to express skepticism of the DOJ’s argument, though the justices could keep their ruling narrow and only address Hemani’s case.
The high court is expected to issue a decision by the summer.
