PETER Mandelson has been arrested as part of a probe into misconduct in public office – just days after Andrew was quizzed by cops.

The ex-ambassador, 72, is accused of leaking sensitive government intelligence to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Police descended on the 72-year-old’s home this afternoon before the shamed ex-ambassador left in an unmarked car.

He was taken to a police station in London to be quizzed by cops.

DUBBED the “prince of darkness” during his Westminster heyday, Peter Mandelson won’t stop casting storm clouds over Sir Keir Starmer.

Earlier this month the PM came perilously close to a leadership challenge after revelations about the Labour grandee’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

But Sir Keir survived – just.

Cabinet ministers duly lined up, one after another, to say they accepted the PM’s apology for appointing Mandelson as US Ambassador and were backing him to keep leading the country.

Now, images of the former cabinet minister being escorted from his home by police will thrust the whole saga straight back to the top of the news agenda –and with a crunch by-election only three days away.

This morning the PM was pictured beaming in Gorton and Denton, where he’s staring down a serious fight from Reform and the Greens.

But instead of attention on Sir Keir’s SEND funding announcement, or his attack on Green plans to legalise heroin, the spotlight will fall firmly on the disgraced Labour heavyweight he personally entrusted with the most prestigious diplomatic job going.

The arrest will pile fresh pressure on ministers – and the police – to set out a clear timetable for releasing the Mandelson vetting files, so the public can judge exactly what Sir Keir knew, and when.

It will also revive,in voters’ minds, an uncomfortable link between Labour and the grubbiest strain of Westminster sleaze.

This is another dangerous moment for Sir Keir and you can be sure his rivals and opponents will be circling, ready to pounce if the moment is right.

Mandelson has previously denied any wrongdoing and said he regrets his friendship with the convicted sex offender.

His arrest came days after Andrew was held on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

The ex-prince was in custody for 11 hourswhile cops combed his homes – including his former abode Royal Lodge.

Experts say they will now be examining any devices they seized, such as phones and laptops.

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said in an update today: “Officers have arrested a 72-year-old man on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

“He was arrested at an address in Camden on Monday, February 23 and has been taken to a London police station for interview.

“This follows search warrants at two addresses in the Wiltshire and Camden areas.”

Scotland Yard previously said their probe into Mandelson will “take some time”.

PETER Mandelson has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in a public office – one of the hardest laws in the UK to prosecute.

The offence is defined as “serious wilful abuse or neglect of the power or responsibilities of the public office held”, according to the CPS.

It happens when a public office holder wilfully neglects to perform his or her duty or wilfully misconducts him or herself, to such a degree as to amount to an abuse of the public’s trust in that office.

Although it carries a maximum life sentence, it is unlikely anyone convicted of the offence would die behind bars.

The crime is also notoriously difficult to define – let alone prove.

Just 191 people were convicted of misconduct in a public office between 2014 and 2024.

Prosecutors and police would have to jump a number of legal hurdles before even considering any charges.

They would first have to find clear evidence Mandelson was in a public office role at the time, and that he knowingly abused or exploited his position.

Authorities would also have to figure out how to define the case.

As misconduct in a public office is not a statutory offence, there are no hard and fast rules.

It is so confusing that the Law Commission has itself has called for a clearer definition.

If Mandelson were to be charged, the offence is indictable-only – meaning the lord would have to face a jury trial.

It comes after documents in the Epstein Files appeared to show the former Cabinet Minister passing confidential information to the billionaire sex offender during his time in office.

The scandal has thrown Sir Keir Starmer’s premiership into freefall with mutinous MPs furious that he hired Mandelson as US Ambassador last year.

The PM has insisted Mandelson “lied” to him about the “depth and darkness” of his relationship with Epstein.

Several rebel Labour MPs broke cover to call directly for Sir Keir to resign over the furore.

The extent of Mandelson’s relationship with the prolific sex offender is emerging as one of the worst scandals in modern political history and threatened to bring down the government.

A Dog on the Battlefield and the Character of George Washington

American Dogs, Family Pets, Revolutionary War, War Stories / By Kate Kelly.1/2

George Washington was said to have been a man who loved dogs and owned many.He was an avid hunter, and most of his dogs were hunting dogs.

The Marquis de Lafayette was known to have sent seven staghounds to George Washington in a sign of friendship.A photo of this breed shows a likeness to what we know today as greyhounds. In colonial times, these dogs were great hunters,but they were bred to hunt via speed and sight; scent was not key to their hunting ability. Sweet Lips, Scentwell, and Vulcan were the names of three of Washington’s staghounds.

Washington also owned Black and Tan coonhounds.These dogs were scent hounds, and those whose names are known were called Drunkard, Taster, Tippler, and Tipsy (It would be nice to know more about this choice of names!).

One source says thatWashington bred the Black and Tan coonhounds with the staghounds=, which may haveresulted in Americas first fox hounds. For more about George Washington’s dogs, see George Washington’s Poodle.)

But a story about a dog found on a battlefield reveals a great deal about the character of the man who was to be our first President.

The Battle of Germantown

In July of 1777,British General William Howemoved his forces toward Philadelphia in an effort to seize the city that was serving as the revolutionary capital for the Patriots.

By September of 1777, Washington and the Continental Army suffered a couple of serious defeats.Cornwallis successfully marched into Philadelphia and claimed it for the British, so American spirits were low. Since Philadelphia was successfully claimed, General Howe arranged for the next move for the British. He sent off his men to Germantown.

With winter approaching,Washington felt he had time for one more attackand thought theBritish arriving at Germantown were vulnerable. Washington’s plan was a brave one–and if it had been successful, it could have made a huge difference in the war.

However,Washington over-estimated his men’s preparedness, and fog made the job almost impossible. The men could not coordinate their movements because they could not see what was happening on the battlefield.

The British were again successful, assuring that Philadelphia would remain in British hands for the remainder of the war.

Small Dog Found

After the battle, a small dog was found on the battlefield. One of the Americansoldiers picked up the dog and saw from his collar that he belonged to General Howe. The men took the dog to Washington and asked that they hold the dog in retribution for their defeat at the hands of Howe’s men.

But Washingt was ever the gentleman. He arranged for a messenger to return the dog to Howe with a two-line letter:

“General Washington’s compliments to General Howe, does himself the pleasure to return [to] him a Dog, which accidentally fell into his hands, and by the inscription on the Collar appears to belong to General Howe.”

While many of the stories about Washington’s character seem to have been created by his earliest biographer, Parson Weems,this lovely story of kindness and gallantry is one that can be fully documented as a draft of the note still exists. It is written in the handwriting of Washington’s aide-de-campAlexander Hamilton, and the note can be found is in the Washington Papers at the Library of Congress.

British Member of Parliament, Rupert Lowe, Shares Alarming Statement from Rape Gang Inquiry

February 23, 2026 | Sundance |

British Member of Parliament (MP) Mr. Rupert Lowe shared a statement on the X platform, written by the Rape Gang Inquiry within the U.K.What is written about the abuse is horrific.

[SOURCE][…]‘This inquiry is about action. We have gathered evidence, we will listen carefully over the coming two weeks, and we will then act. Our ultimate objective is justice – including the pursuit of private prosecutions where appropriate.Justice for the girls who were abused. Justice for the families who were ignored.

And justice for a country that was repeatedly misled about what was happening in its towns and cities.’ (more)

If the U.K cannot or will not address this level of sick, criminal activity that exploits vulnerable British girls, then the U.K. has completely fallen.

Travel Day

February 22, 2026 | Sundance |

I have a prescheduled travel day today to connecton prior researchthat will hopefully have positive outcomes.There is a lot happeningin the background of a necessary confrontation with theDC administrative state; specifically, as it relates to the IC tentacles.

As a result, I will likely be out of the loop for several hours,but I am keenly interested to watch news and information for activity in/around Iran. I suspect thenext 72 hourswill be critical for anydecision made by President Trump. I pray for God to guide his judgement.

I’ll be checking in as possible and should be able to connect back online within the next 24 hours.

Steadfast, with love to all,

The FBI Mission and the “Library on Congress” 1/3

February 21, 2026 | Sundance | (I had highlighted this entire articlebut decided to let anons do their own highlights.This is the country and world we live in. And I believe AI will make it much worse.)

A repost from 2023 by request.

In roughly the past fifty years, the term “continuity of government” has been used with increased frequency describing how the United States of America, a constitutional republican system of government, contains internal mechanisms to protect the executive branch in the event of crisis, attack or disruption of leadership by adversaries.

The term ‘continuity of government‘ became much more common in the aftermath of 9-11-01 and the thunder shock of an al-Qaeda inspired terrorist attack in New York and Washington DC.

Within the very brief discussion period that led up to the 10-26-01 Patriot Act [pdf here], literally a structural reform of the entire domestic terrorist apparatus that created the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA), a bill only debated for a few weeks, the baseline was the enhanced ‘continuity of government‘ in the event of an emergency.

As we have exhaustively outlined on these pages, the outcome of the Patriot Act was to create a system where every American was now viewed by our federal government through the prism of the citizen being a potential terrorist threat.

The federal government aligned all of our institutions and national security systems accordingly.

DHS was created to monitor American behavior, the TSA was created to scan American travelers, and the FBI was enhanced with resources to conduct surveillance despite our Fourth Amendment protections within our Constitution. Instead of the U.S. Govt protecting U.S. citizens from foreign threats, the Patriot Act changed the mission of government to protect itself from potential citizen threats.

In essence, We the People became the suspects, and all of the constitutional viewpoints within the FBI and Dept of Justice were modified to create monitoring systems.

The legislative branch was considered part of a this newly protected elite class of Americans, and the judicial branch deferred all scrutiny to the executive as long as they claimed, ‘national security.’ The secret FISA court system would grant the agents surveillance power over U.S. citizens.

As the foundation of this new surveillance state was just being finalized, Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Eric Holder then entered government via the 2008 election and weaponized this system to target their domestic political opposition.

However, there is also a second element to this ‘continuity of government’ that flows with the first premise.

The continuity of a very specific outlook by government.

The continuity of a very specific construct of government.

The continuity of a view within government of how government should operate. This is part of the continuity of government not discussed.

You can argue it was the viewpoint of a very specific type of government “continuity” that led to the opposition against Donald Trump by Democrats and Republicans.

Trump would be a disruptive influence if introduced into a continuation mission that did not like change. This ‘continuity’ mindset then established the justification for every institution and element of the bureaucracy, including almost all layers of the people who run them, to oppose Donald Trump.

By the time the 2016 election arrived, We the People had already been defined by the Patriot Act outcome as a threat to government. If we the people did not select the right kind of candidate who would be approved by the continuity system, then our selection would be rejected by all of the operators of that administrative system. That’s what happened.

Every move by the U.S. federal government, from 2016 to now, has been contrast against the backdrop of a new awakening and visible understanding.

We the People are the threat, and those who control the DC power centers that determine the continuity of government, will not accept any modification or diminishment of their mission. This is how they justify their conduct in very real terms, including through application of law. This is also why the people who operate these systems are very visible with their conduct and do not have any reservations about showing their omnipotent mindset.

From their perspective, they are doing what they do, running government how they run government, maintaining the continuity the system was designed to protect, and we are what they consider futile and irrelevant voices.

Both the Republican and Democrat leadership hold this same view. This “continuity of government” is the core of their UniParty alignment.

Here is where this understanding gets really interesting.

In order to maintain this system, there has to be an internal monitoring system, a surveillance system to protect itself against any adversary. A domestic surveillance state has to exist as an outcome of the logical sequence.

Within this total surveillance state, the FBI is the federal agency – a national police force with a mission to run monitoring operations.

Everyone is monitored, and in case anyone would raise objection to being monitored, the corporate media provide protection against criticism by saying the agencies doing the monitoring need to be independent.

As we plunge deeper and deeper into this weaponized surveillance state, if you engage in any conduct to avoid monitoring, you run the risk of being caught in the DHS surveillance sweep. You run the risk of becoming a DHS subject of interest, just like candidate Donald Trump – only smaller. If you choose to fight against accepting the weaponized surveillance state, you will be considered a DHS subject of interest – just like the J6 detainees.

When the FBI was fighting against the release of the FD-1023 report, outlining the Confidential Human Source (CHS) that gave evidence to the FBI against Joe Biden, people missed something.

The DOJ/FBI reluctance to admit the FD-1023 report existed was not just about Joe Biden, it was also about a surveillance process this reporting would reveal.

The confidential human source (CHS) was a person giving information to the FBI for their files. This is the library on congress. There are hundreds of thousands of these FD-1023 forms created, as CHS’s undercover agent employees (UAE’s) and a myriad of resources, are deployed in this surveillance system.

It’s the breadth of this surveillance system that leads to the FBI saying, “The safeguards the FBI placed on the production of this information are necessary to protect the safety of confidential sources and the integrity of sensitive investigations. Today’s release of the 1023 [form] – at a minimum – unnecessarily risks the safety of a confidential source.”

As noted by the Federalist Margot Cleveland, “During Wednesday’s hours-long hearing, IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler both told lawmakers they had never seen the FD-1023. Significantly, Ziegler then stated: “There’s things that are contained on that document that could further corroborate other information that we might be having an issue corroborating because it could be regarding a foreign official. So, if we have information regarding that in a document or a witness, we can further corroborate later evidence.”

The reason the IRS agents were not aware of the CHS reports to the FBI, is because keeping the FD-1023 report hidden did not have as much to do with protecting Biden as it does with protecting this surveillance apparatus.

Who are all of these CHS’s and UAEs like Igor Danchenko, Patrick Byrne, Azra Turk, Carter Page, Joseph Mifsud, Ray Epps, 1% Watchdog, etc. etc. etc? There is a massive surveillance apparatus underway monitoring everyone, including an assembly of files against sitting members of congress and political leadership.

Keep in mind, the FD-1023 reports are not blackmail, they are reports of conduct and action.

Blackmail and/or leverage is an outcome of knowing information. The massive assembly of FD-1023 reports are the source information.

This was a big part of the reason why FBI Director Christopher Wray initially denied there was an FD-1023 report.

In the bigger of the big pictures, this Joe/Hunter Biden story was the tip of an iceberg showing how the FBI is a domestic surveillance operation assembling files on everyone; that includes members of Congress and key political leadership that could advance to power. Why is all of this surveillance taking place?…

….Because it is a very specific type of Continuity of Government that must be maintained.

Don’t look at the Potemkin village we call Washington DC.

Look for the people behind the construct.

Look for the people who are using these files.

(Save this on paper in case the internet goes downPS: We’ve been living in “The Brave New World”, before the book was written! How do I know? The author knew it long before us. It wasn’t a theory, it was a road map.)

Alan Dershowitz, If Epstein was a CIA or Mossad Asset He Never Would Have Gone to Jail

February 21, 2026 | Sundance

This is a little surprising to hear in someone’s outside voice. According to Jeffrey Epstein’s former lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, if his client had told him he worked for Israeli intelligence or the CIA Dershowitz could have gotten him off the charges with no jail time.

Essentially, Dershowitz is saying any sex criminals or pedophiles that work for intelligence agencies would never receive any prison sentences. WATCH (prompted):

As remarkable as it sounds, Alan Dershowitz is actually confirming what many people suspect. If a U.S. or Israeli intelligence asset commits a crime, they can leverage their position to get out of any criminal accountability.

Good grief. I’m not sure Dershowitz realizes we can hear what he is saying.

"A VERY Valuable Asset" Epstein's Links To Mossad | Bassem Youssef vs Alan Dershowitz

The theory that Jeffrey Epstein was an intelligence asset makes a lot of sense. He had vast and mostly unexplained wealth. He kept meticulous and exhaustive records.He obsessively curated VIP friends, who he invited to luxury properties wired for surveillance.

He got an implausibly generous legal reprieve, after the district attorney in Florida was told, quote, “Epstein belongs to intelligence.” And the files certainly do reveal many ties to Israel.

We know that former PM Ehud Barak stayed with Epstein frequently, long after his conviction, and the connection certainly didn’t end there. But the current Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, says it’s a red herring.

Piers Morgan debates this with Bassem Youssef and Alan Dershowitz but first speaks to OS7 Ryan Grim, an investigative journalist and co-founder of Drop Site News.

(Was Dershowitz the go between for Epstein.)

I was just thinking that maybe some Christian TV station or just Christian film producers and stars, create a new series like “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, where Christians do a series of “God’s, Jesus’s,, or“Heaven’s Pedophile Slayers”, and start in Hollywood, UK and Europe!

I’m sure it would be a hit, and may help reduce the volume of pedos WW.
