Peter Mandelson's Epstein Files Set for Release Before Christmas (11/8/26) · Beyond The Horizon

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're going to spin across
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the pond and we're going to check in not on
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the Joe Exotic of the Windsor family, but Peter Mandelson.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: And that's because more Mandelson files are supposed to be
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: released before Christmas as the authorities continue to look into
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And I think that Peter Mandelson...
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: is in some jeopardy. Now, I'm not saying that Mandelson
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: was involved in the abuse, but when it comes to
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: sharing confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein, I think we've seen
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the evidence for that already. Now, is there going to
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: be enough evidence to convict this dude? I don't know.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: He is well-connected and well-insulated when it comes to the
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: British social elite. So are they going to sacrifice him
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: up and serve him up to the court of law?
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: or are they going to protect him? I guess we'll
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: have to see. Today's article is from the Daily Mail,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: and the headline, More Peter Mandelson Files Will Be Released
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Before Christmas As Police Continue Probe Into His Links With
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. This article was authored by Robert Boker. More
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: files related to Lord Peter Mandelson's appointment as UK Ambassador
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to the US are expected to be published before Christmas.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Batches of papers were published earlier this year after MPs
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: voted in February to demand their publication using an archaic
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: parliamentary procedure known as Humble Address. Gotta do what you
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: gotta do. If there is a procedure to be wielded
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: and you have somebody like Mandelson who doesn't want to
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: give up information, then you do it. And listen, I
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: don't have any, you know, axe to grind with Mandelson.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know the guy. I don't follow British politics
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: like that. What I do know, though, is he was
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: a scumbag, and that he was right in the middle
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: of giving confidential information to Jeffrey Epstein. And in my opinion,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and I'm guessing in the opinion of a lot of
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: UK citizens, that's unacceptable, and he needs to be held accountable. However,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: some files were initially withheld to avoid prejudicing a Metro
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: police investigation and allegations that he passed market-sensitive government information
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Well, God forbid.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: We don't want to prejudice the government or the people. Like,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: what are you even talking about? Release what you have
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and let's see it. And listen, I'm going to be
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: very clear. If you found Russell Brand guilty, then Jeffrey
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Epstein's buddies, they're all guilty too. Especially Prince Andrew. So
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I think that that ruling with Russell Brand might have
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: some sway when it comes to Epstein. I mean, the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: authorities have the blueprint for it right there now. So
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: there's precedent, right? So why is that not good enough
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: for Prince Andrew? If it's good enough for Russell Brand?
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: And listen, I'm not defending Russell Brand. The guy's an
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: absolute scumbag. Never liked him. Never bought the whole rebranding
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: of him. No pun intended. And I certainly don't like
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: him now. But if you're going to use that law
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: and go after him, then I would say that Prince
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Andrew and everybody else, including Jess Staley, that has been
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: accused in the UK... should be treated the same way.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Speaking on Thursday, Cat Little, Permanent Secretary to the Cabinet Office,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: said that some of these documents can now be published
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: without prejudicing their investigation. Ms. Little said the process will
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: be completed before the House rises for Christmas recess on
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: December 17th. Well, that's good. I'd like to get a
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: look at some of these papers. And to my listeners
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: over in the UK, feel free to send me anything
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: that you can come up with. documents, whatever. Because obviously
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not as adept to navigating your legal system as
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I am here in America. So if you have some documents,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: court documents or whatever, that you want me to add
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to the catalog, shoot them over and I'll definitely get
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: them added. Because all of this ties together and you
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: can't just look at the Epstein story as one piece.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: You have to look at the totality. And I think
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of people miss the boat. I think a
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: lot of people just target one area and of what
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: this dude was up to, but that's never going to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: explain the overall operation. So all of this is important,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and you have to look at it all together. In
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: a letter to Lord Beamish, the Labour peer who chairs
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee, wrote, I'm writing to confirm
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: that the Cabinet Office has been informed by the Metropolitan
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Police of their assessment that a number of these documents
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: can be published without prejudicing their investigation. The cabinet office
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: is now beginning the process to prepare these documents so
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: that they may be laid before the House in response
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: to the Humble Address motion as soon as possible. So
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: things are still moving, right? And the investigation into Lord
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Mandelson continues. Now, I have my doubts about where this
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: one ends up, just because of all the power Empoli has,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: but maybe the English people have had enough. And if
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: that's the case, then Mandelson... You're on the clock. Ms.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Little wrote that the documents will need to be reviewed
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: to assess whether or not they may require redactions for
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the purpose of avoiding prejudice to national security or international
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: relations and therefore referral to the ISC. So they're going
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: through all the steps and they're trying to make sure
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: that everything they do is above board. They don't want
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Mandelson to come back with one of his loopholes and
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: technicality bullshit fucking defenses, and wiggle out. So they're going
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: to try and make sure that everything is locked in.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Every box, checked. Every T, crossed. Every I, dotted. That's
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the only way to really go after these people. Members
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: of the ISC will be able to see the unredacted
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: files before they're published more widely with some information concealed.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Some documents will continue to be held back at the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: request of the Metropolitan Police to avoid prejudicing an ongoing investigation,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the Permanent Secretary said. Okay, I guess. I mean, you
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: can't release everything, I get that. But they have to
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: be forthcoming, and they have to be transparent. This is
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: too big of an issue, too important of an issue,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: to too many people for them not to be. And
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I know that the people over in the UK, they've
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: had enough of the bullsh * *. They want transparency.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: They want justice. And they want to know what Jeffrey
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Epstein and his friends were doing in the UK. And
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: is that unreasonable? Are those people crazy? Are they conspiracy theorists? No.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: They're hardworking people who feel like they've been wronged. And
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: it's damn well time that somebody addresses that. Lord Mandelson
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: became the UK's ambassador to Washington in February last year.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: After his appointment by former Prime Minister Sir Akira Starmer.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Sir Keir sacked Lord Mandelson in September 2025 after emails leaked,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: which showed the peer sent supportive messages even as Epstein
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: faced jail for sex offenses. Fellow travelers and all. Now listen,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I understand that Mandelson has a different kind of lifestyle, right?
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Not into girls at all. Not little girls or any girls.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: So that's not what I'm saying. But Mandelson knew that
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein was an absolute scumbag, an absolute creep, and
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: an absolute molester. And he didn't give a fuck. Continued
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: to hang out with him. Continued to enrich himself. And
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: continued to eat off Epstein's plate. So now that the
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: bill is coming due, I don't want to hear shit.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Time to stand tall before the wagon, homie. And man
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: the fuck up. All these years, these people have been
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: able to avoid real scrutiny. They've been able to avoid
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: real questions. Those days are over. And if you need
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: proof of that, just look at how the American electorate
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: repudiated the Trump administration and their handling of the Epstein situation,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: among other things. In the most recent tranche of documents
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: released in June, an official involved in security clearance was
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: seen to admit not knowing how an enhanced clearance system
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: known as STRAP worked. In an email to Cabinet Office
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: colleagues about what vetting an innoble peer would require, a
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: member of the department's government security group suggested he'd be
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: exempt from some of the requirements. But he referred the
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: question to other civil servants saying, I must confess to
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: never knowing how strap works at the best of times.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Never mind in this scenario. Well, that's great. Hell of
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: a job. Seems like you're well qualified to do what
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: you do. Where do we find these people? Like, honestly,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: these are the best of the best. This is the
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: best we can do when it comes to bureaucrats and
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: peers and the rest of it. And over here in America,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: believe me, it's not any better, right? The bureaucrats over here,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: forget it. Gigantic pain in the balls. And a gigantic
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: roadblock to accountability. So when we're talking about a society
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: like the English society, that's even more enhanced. Even more entrenched.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: We're talking about an elite society that's been around since
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: like 1066. So yeah, they're very much entrenched. In a
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: 2025 message to Cabinet Minister Pat McFadden, Lord Mandelson wrote
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Sir Keir lacks verve, as does the cabinet as a whole.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: In addition to her letter to Lord Beamish, Miss Little
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: wrote to Conservative MP Simon Hoare, chairman of the Commons
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee, and Labor MP Dame
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Emily Thornberry, who chairs the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee. Well,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: things are underway, and hopefully we get these documents and
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: we get a look at them. And when we get them,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I hope they're not redacted to shit. But I won't
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: hold my breath. because usually they are. So we'll keep
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: an eye on this one like everything else, and when
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: we have some information, we'll get that added to the catalog.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: All the information that goes with this episode can be
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: found in the description box.
