Average Extra Special of: Prince Andrew & the Epstein Scandal: BBC's
NewsNight with Emily Maitlis on 16/11/2019: Part 1 by AverageMansReviews
A friendly heads up/Disclaimer: at
one point or another there are going to be references to criminal/adult
content, so you have been warned. Disclaimer: everything in these series of
blogs/content everything at minimum is in the right ballpark, I have done this
so it gives me a little coverage, not to control the narrative but so I can
focus on the important details as you will understand momentarily and to
continue with the disclaimer I did set up a family member watching an body
language content on this interview, but I quickly left the room because I
didn't want my judgement to be tainted, but because I sure in interest in this
individual was life we have spoken about it I can't make this anymore clearer
for people that have been doing my content for long enough now, you should know
I can clearly make up my own mind, even though I can still hear it I can make
up my own mind and content, of these highly trained individuals which obviously
I mean no disrespect and one final thing in the interest of fairness and
balance on reflection I couldn't go on about the Harry and Megan situation
without separately shining a light on Prince Andrew.
Real
Talking Time:
I chose to do this as a series of blogs/content because and this is
honestly true I watched it once the whole way through and on this time; the
second time around I am roughly 4 minutes in all of this slightly over 49
minutes interview I already have a lot to work with.
1. Prince Andrew: makes
reference to Mr. Epstein and all things associated with him, we have been
talking to NewsNight for about six months about the things I have been doing
and unfortunately we're just not been able to fit it either into your schedule
or mine schedule until now and actually it is a very good opportunity and I'm
delighted to be talking with you today.
The first red flag for me is: the
words "Actually, it is a very good opportunity and I'm delighted to be
able to See you today."[this is said as an opening statement with the tone
to match.] But I mean we are here to discuss these very dark allegations which
Prince Andrew is in the middle of at this point in history. [Yes I am
deliberately choosing my words very carefully here to protect myself, so at
minimum I can say he is in the middle of] so it isn't like we are here to
discuss this new hospital unveiling/opening. I should point out that now and
again I will be using this level of comedy with a serious nature of course to
point out these things, because if this wasn't real it would be very funny,
like watching a car crash, you dare not look, but at the same time you can't
look away. But it is real and I will be saying that again it is real and we are
just 48 seconds into this interview, so you can see why and how I have many
points.
2. Emily Maitlis: her
question; in a nutshell how did you first meet Jeffrey Epstein? Prince Andrew:
well I met through his girlfriend [Ghislaine Maxwell] back in 1999 who and I'd
known her since she was at university in the UK and it would be to some extent
a stretch to say that, that we were we were close friends, we were friends because
of people and I had a lot of opportunity to go to the United States, I didn't
have much time with him [Jeffrey Epstein] I suppose I saw him once or twice a
year, may be maximum three times a year and quite often if I was in the United
States doing things and if he wasn't he would say well why don't you come and
use my houses and I would say that's very kind thank you very much
indeed.
Another red flag for me is: this
Prince is that naive? I don't know this man meaning Jeffrey Epstein yet he is
being so kind to me, my question even in the back of my head going why, what's
his motive?
3. Continuation of interview: Prince
Andrew: but it would be, it would be a considerable stretch to say that he
[Jeffrey Epstein] was a very, very close friend that he had the most
extraordinary ability to bring extraordinary people together and that's the bit
that I remember going to the dinner parties where you would meet academics,
politicians people from the United Nations I mean it was a, it was a
cosmopolitan group of what I would describe as US eminence. Emily Maitlis
questions Prince Andrew was that his appeal then? Prince Andrew responds with
an indication of no, but I should really point out I have no idea what he says
including the subtitles which I have switched on between us two we have no idea
what he said, but all I know is he declines. They talk about his Party Prince
label he in a nutshell debunks this label and at the time he was happily
married, but he also goes on to say certainly going to Jeffrey's was not about
partying absolutely not.
Another red flag for me is: so
Prince Andrew couldn't work out why these highly ranked people are at this
party? Yes this is me speculating here, mixed in with my street smarts of
something could be going on shady here? You know the red light would be off
" Danger, danger Will Robinson!" On a note he is absolutely clueless
in what he is saying or he should be absolutely clueless to what he is saying,
because he is just throwing these highly ranked people such as the United
Nations under the bus, yes I know he isn't mentioning any names here, but for
the fact he has just thrown shade onto the United Nations that is what I mean
and I don't know about everyone else, but the fact that Prince Andrew keeps
making reference to Jeffrey, when he should be saying Mr. Epstein or just
Epstein like he did at the beginning, [so basically from a verbal standpoint at
the very least it tries to distance Prince Andrew from Epstein and not as
friends.]
4. Continuation of interview Emily Maitlis: “You say you weren't very good friends, but would you describe him
as a good friend, did you trust him?” Prince Andrew: “Yes, I think I probably
did, but again I don't go into a friendship looking for the wrong thing if you
understand what I mean I'm and I'm an engaging person I want to be able to
engage, I want to find out, I want to learn and so but you have to remember
that I was transitioning out of the Navy at the time and in the transition I
wanted to find out more about what was going on because in the Navy it's a
pretty isolated business, because you're out at sea the whole time and I was
going to become the special representative for international trade and
investment so wanted to know more about what was going on in the international
business world and so that was another reason for going there and the
opportunities that I had to go to Wall Street and other places to learn whilst
I was there were, were absolutely vital.”
Another red flag or red flags for me is: wow, wow there is a lot to impact here. As soon as Prince Andrew
says yes to the question, he hopefully unknowingly or I would like to think
unknowingly, because if he is knowingly just said yes to this question he is
really stupid. Because you don't trust someone that you aren't close with even
though you have just tried to debunk this earlier that you weren't close. Even
though as soon as Prince Andrew said yes, it is clear to see that there is
backtracking of a little description as he goes on to talk about friendship and
so on and so forth.
Which brings me onto my next point looking for the wrong thing if you
understand what I mean. Well this is most definitely a stupid thing to say,
Prince Andrew is expecting Emily Maitlis to indicate something to almost
indicate reassurance to the viewers that he is a good person. But she doesn't;
she gives him a very tiny nod of acknowledgement, but other than that
completely stonefaces him [as she is giving him very little to work with] this
seems like a good point to bring this up; Emily Maitlis takes the approach of
basically giving Prince Andrew and of rope to hang in self with which can be
indicated by her silence or questioning or a very slight nudging, or pushing
from time to time. I don't know her personally, but this was the best approach
to take with this interview yes she does push him a little generally speaking,
but if she pushes too hard and too often there is always a risk of the
interview being terminated by the individual in question and there is always a
possibility that he could say "Anything I said in this interview was down
to stress or being in a stressful situation, I am going to sue." Which is
not how we want things to go down, so she waited to for the right moment to
joust attack him to get the point and wait for another opportunity to go after
him, in a subtle way or sometimes he would realise that he has made an error,
but by then it is too late. But the fact he says if you understand what I mean,
that is to open ended, he is basically relying on Maitlis and us to make up our own minds and in hindsight this is just
lazy, I am not on his side I am not biased, I just don't like this man, but I
have to remain professional. But even I would go " Prince Andrew you have
this opportunity to try and defend yourself, so defend yourself even though I
know you don't have a leg to stand on."
So he talks about transitioning out of the Navy and essentially wanting
to learn more, well here is a novel idea, how about you [meaning the Prince
Andrew] go away and learn and make your own networks away from Mr. Epstein I
mean you could have used your title in a good way of I am Prince Andrew, is it
possible I could watch or undertake or be a part of your business in a learning
capacity. I mean I am of average intelligence including I have brain damage, but
I don't like to be in anyone's back pocket and I'm not saying that is the case
here, but my warning lights would be most definitely on about this entire
situation.
But Prince Andrew completely shoots himself in the foot when he makes
references to the positives of being connected to Mr. Epstein as it relates to
Wall Street and saw on, as he tries and even this early stage to justify the
positives of this relationship between these two individuals and himself.
That is all I have to say just after about 4 minutes of this interview,
I will do another part at some point.
