Here we go again. Another week, another trending topic regarding **Prince Andrew and the Epstein files**. You know the narrative. We aren't allowed to forget him, but thanks to the lack of transparency, we aren't allowed to know the whole truth either. It is a perfect content trap—it drives engagement, keeps us angry, and changes absolutely nothing.

Now we have **US lawmakers** getting involved to boost their own visibility. They went on a **BBC interview** to make some noise. They put on their serious faces, adjusted their ties, and looked right into the camera to say, "Andrew should talk!" Wow. What a brave stance for the cameras. Saying a man accused of associating with the center of the **Jeffrey Epstein scandal** should answer questions? Give these politicians a participation trophy. They really went out on a limb there.

But let’s be real for a second and look past the clickbait. Just for one minute, let's stop pretending this is serious news. This isn’t about justice. This is about screen time and optimizing for the news cycle. These politicians are not stupid. They are greedy for attention, but they understand the game.

They know Prince Andrew isn't going to hop on a plane, fly to New York, and sit in a hard chair to provide **Prince Andrew testimony** under oath. It simply won't happen. The Royal Family has walls. Big, thick stone walls. They have legal teams that cost more than your entire neighborhood. These US lawmakers know this. But saying it out loud makes them look like heroes. It makes them look tough. It makes you think they are fighting for the little guy. They aren't. They are just barking at a car that already drove away.

And then we have the response from the Palace. This is the part that really drives the engagement metrics up. The reports say the King—Andrew's big brother—claims the **Royal Family** is "ready to support" the police. Read that again. "Ready to support."

What does that actually mean in plain English? It means nothing. It is a hollow, empty phrase designed to make you shut up and stop searching. In the real world, if you or I had information about a crime, we wouldn't "support" the police. We would be dragged into a room and made to talk. We wouldn't get a choice. If we tried to hide, we would go to jail.

But these people? The ones with the crowns and the castles? They get to "offer support." It sounds like they are donating money to a charity bake sale. "Oh yes, we support the inquiry!" It is insulting. It implies that they are doing us a favor by not actively blocking the door. It is the language of people who know they are untouchable. They are sitting in a golden room, laughing at us.

Let’s look at the timing. Why is this coming up now? Because the **Epstein files** are in the news again. It is a cycle. The news media needs content. The politicians need to look busy. The Royals need to look like they aren't hiding secrets. So everyone plays their part. The politicians yell, the Royals issue a polite statement, and the media writes the story to capture that sweet search volume.

And where does that leave the truth? Buried. Deep underground.

Think about the sheer arrogance of it all. You have lawmakers from the United States demanding answers from a British Prince about a dead billionaire pedophile. It sounds like the plot of a bad movie. But it is our reality. And the saddest part is that everyone involved is just performing.

The Right screams about a cover-up. The Left screams about justice. But they all go to the same parties. They all shake the same hands. If they really wanted Andrew to testify, they wouldn't ask him nicely on the BBC. They would subpoena him. They would force the issue. They would make it ugly. But they won't. Because making it ugly might expose their own friends.

So, Andrew will stay in his big house. The King will keep saying polite, meaningless things about "supporting the process." The US lawmakers will go back to their fundraising dinners, patting themselves on the back for being so "tough" on crime. And you? You get to read the article and get mad.

That is your role in this. You are the audience. You are supposed to get angry, click the link, and then forget about it by tomorrow. Don't fall for it. None of these people—not the Prince, not the King, and certainly not the politicians—care about what actually happened. They only care about surviving the news cycle. It is a big club, and as the saying goes, you aren't in it. You're just paying for the tickets to watch the show.
