From underage girls as young as 8 allegedly on Epstein's island, Sarah Ferguson's ongoing contact and money requests post-conviction, to Andrew's abuse of his trade envoy role for personal profit—including Afghanistan war opportunities—this interview uncovers elite corruption, sex trafficking claims, national security risks, intelligence links (Mossad/KGB), and why the royal family may never allow a trial. Lownie, author of the bombshell book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, discusses vindication after years of skepticism, potential jail for Andrew (or exile to Dubai), mysterious deaths, and the crumbling trust in the monarchy. Don't miss this unfiltered look at one of the biggest royal scandals ever.

  • 618. Famous Skeptic Michael Shermer Admits: "Epstein Proved Conspiracies Can Be Real"

    618. Famous Skeptic Michael Shermer Admits: "Epstein Proved Conspiracies Can Be Real"
    Feb 7 2026
    Epstein proved the unthinkable: some "conspiracy theories" are horrifyingly real. Join the Heretics Community For Bonus Videos: https://andrewgoldheretics.com/ Join world-renowned skeptic Michael Shermer on Heretics for a gripping, evidence-driven conversation that redefines conspiracy theories. From Jeffrey Epstein’s elite blackmail network and secret island to the once-banned COVID lab-leak theory, Bill Gates emails, vaccine controversies, moon-landing doubts, and elite power plays, Shermer uses Bayesian reasoning to distinguish real conspiracies from speculation—showing why even die-hard skeptics must update their views when hard evidence emerges.

Real cases like Epstein remind us: dismissing everything as paranoia can blind us to what’s actually true. Epstein proved conspiracies can be real.
