What's up, everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. So the investigation into Zorro Ranch is fully underway, and for the first time, it looks like law enforcement is actually speaking to people who actually worked at Zorro Ranch. And one of the key lines of questioning so far, according to sources, is about Prince Andrew and Prince Andrew's visits to Zorro Ranch. Now, remember a couple of years ago when I was telling you about that and people were saying that Andrew had never been to Zorro Ranch and was only down in Santa Fe in his official capacity? Well, guess what? My sources down in New Mexico were right again, because I heard from multiple people about Prince Andrew's trips there and about how he was with Melanie Walker, the woman that was connected to Bill Gates, you know, the neuroscientist. Well, she had a little adventure with Prince Andrew at Zorro Ranch, according to sources. And Prince Andrew even had a special tea that supposedly helped his libido. And according to sources, Melanie Walker had that tea whipped up for him by some of the help at the property. And Prince Andrew and his team, they denied it. Oh, we've never been to Zoro Ranch. We have no idea whatever happened there. Prince Andrew certainly never went there and did anything that could even be misconstrued as being out of line. What are you crazy? First of all, Prince Andrew wasn't wearing the right kit. And second of all, how could he go to Zorro Ranch when he was busy at the pizza place? When we're talking about the theater of the absurd, we're talking directly about Prince Andrew. Today's article is from the sun, and the headline, Staff at Jeffrey Epstein Secretive Zoro Ranch Quizzed about Andrew's visits as Cop Probe hunts the full picture. This article was authored by Douglas Simpson. Staff at Jeffrey Epstein Secretive Zorro Ranch have reportedly been quizzed about Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's visits more than a dozen Former employees of the ranch are said to have been quizzed by cops working for the state's Department of Justice. The Mirror reports that the housekeepers, ranch hands and managers have been asked who stayed at the New Mexico property and what they saw while employed there. Shamed. Andrew's visits were at the top of the list for investigators, it's understood. So my guess is. And look, this is just a guess. I have no inside information here, but I would not be shocked to see the UK reach out to the state of New Mexico and see if they could get whatever they might need about Andrew and his activities in New Mexico while he was trade envoy. Remember, he had that big trip to go see Bill Richardson. So what was going on during that trip? Were taxpayer funds being used for things that they shouldn't be used for? Certainly something that needs to be investigated. And hopefully this will lead to more investigations over in the UK as well. Raul Torres, New Mexico's Attorney General, is leading the criminal probe, with detectives looking at a wide range of Epstein's visitors, including the former Duke. Yeah, they better ask about the Clintons, too, because the Clintons were definitely on that property multiple times, used it for vacations. And this is from multiple sources. And remember, the Clinton said under oath they'd never been there, so that's going to be pretty interesting, for sure. A source told the publication the staff have been asked about guests to the property. It includes the former Prince, who at the ranch, detectives are trying to build up a picture of what he, Epstein and others did while at Zorro. We know what they did. What we don't know is the length of it, right? We don't know just how far the depravity reached. We don't know how many people were hurt, and we certainly don't know who all was involved. And that's because there was never an investigation in New Mexico. And honestly, I have no idea how. How people shrug that off. How can you look at this case and be like, you know what? I've seen enough and it's all just a big hoax when there's never really been a real investigation, not to the scope. It needs to be, not just looking into a couple of people, but looking into everybody. Anybody who benefited in any way should be part of the RICO investigation. And if it was anybody else but Jeffrey Epstein, that's what would have happened. Andrew, 66, is understood to have visited Zorro ranch on several occasions, having allegedly formed a close relationship with a glamorous neurosurgeon while visiting the property. That was all Set up. And it wasn't like he met her there. They went in vacation together at Epstein's property. That was what happened. The neurosurgeon is also set to be questioned by investigators as the probe continues to grow. Staff at the ranch have reported being contacted and asked to give detailed accounts of their time there. Some have been questioned about the daily operations of the sprawling 10,000acre property. And there's going to be a lot of people that have a lot to say. And there's going to be a lot of people that have nothing to say. Self preservation and all right. I mean, if you're somebody that has something to hide, chances are you're not going to say much. Now what I would like to see down in New Mexico is Larry Vasoski be investigated. Remember, he has a house on Zorro Ranch that was given to him or he purchased it from Epstein, whichever story you want to believe. And he was Jeffrey Epstein's pilot for all those years. Let me ask you a question. What if John Gotti had a pilot and he gave that pilot some property on his land and then John Gotti goes to prison. Do you think that pilot would end up keeping that land or do you think that the government would find a way to wrestle that away? I can tell you from personal experience, they're taking it. There's no discussion. They're just gonna do what they gotta do. But when it comes to somebody like Prince Andrew or Larry Vasosi, it's a different set of rules. So hopefully down in New Mexico that shit's over and done with. And they're going to look into Larry Vasoski and what role he might have played. Because at the very least, in my opinion, he's a co conspirator. You don't have that many flights on those planes. You don't do the kind of work Vaski was doing for Epstein and not know what's going on. I'm sorry, but I don't believe it. One former employee said they're asking about everything, particularly former Prince Andrew and other high profile guests who stayed, how long they were there, what they were doing. It's very detailed. Nothing's being brushed over. Good. Nothing should be. That's how we got into this mess in the first place. Can you imagine what they would have found at Zorro Ranch if they would have raided it when Jeffrey Epstein was arrested? A whole ass surprise raid on all of his properties at the same time caused collect all the evidence and build a gigantic criminal conspiracy case. They didn't do it. And for those of us who follow organized crime, we know that that is just completely and utterly out of character. Because whenever they can have a case like this that is as far reaching and could take down potentially as many powerful people, that builds careers, right? Under normal circumstances, normal people, that's the kind of shit that builds careers. And that's another tell that the fix is in. Ask yourself which career prosecutor isn't trying to go after a case like this? And if you're being honest with yourself, you know that the answer is none. Every single hard charging prosecutor ever wants a case like this. How do you think Rudy Giuliani built his career going after the Mafia, Using rico, taking them down? And if we had any prosecutors worth their weight and salt these days, we'd see the same thing here. Look, I've already told you about dual sovereignty. These states can open investigations into Maxwell, into Epstein, into anybody who was involved, and bypass the Feds completely. The state doesn't need the Fed's help to do what they have to do. Would it be a little bit harder? Of course. But I assure you, if you get a subpoena from New Mexico and you live in New York, you better go and answer that subpoena or the State of New Mexico is going to have a few things to say, at least in a perfect world. So that's what I hope happens. And I hope that there's a dual sovereignty case that pops up in New York if Glenn Maxwell is pardoned. And there would be nothing that the federal government could do about that. So we have some options, right? The question is, do we have anyone courageous enough to use those options? Former staff have reportedly been instructed not to destroy any material related to their time working at the ranch. Investigators areas of interest are focused on guest lists, movements on and off the ranch, and who is able to access the various parts of the estate. Those being questioned are being treated as potential witnesses, not suspects. Well, that's the way to go about it. You treat people as suspects if you have evidence, right? But if they were just there working or whatever, you try and get them on board as witnesses. And of course you offer them immunity, right? I know I would. As long as they weren't involved in the actual abuse and they weren't a core member of the team. That's how you build a case. You offer people immunity and then you go from there. So I would offer them immunity if they needed it. And then we'd have a proffer session like you have never seen before. Not a single door would be Left unopened. Epstein, who died while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in 2019, reportedly discussed plans to turn the remote compound into a so called baby making facility. Yeah, talked about that quite a bit. And the whole ass thing is creepy. And honestly, in a whole ass line of things that don't make sense, not raiding Zorro ranch is right near the top. There is no explanation that has ever come close to explaining away why they didn't do that. Like, how do you sit there and say to yourself, ah, we're not going to raid this place. To hell with it. Let them destroy evidence. Again, a bombshell email from the latest tranche of Epstein files alleges that the notorious sex trafficker ordered two foreign girls to be buried on the land after they were strangled to death during rough fetish sex. And again, look, I don't know if that happened, but I'll tell you this much right now. It needs to be investigated. There's way too many instances of things like that happening when people are engaging in even consensual behaviors. Never mind when it's non consensual and there's abuse. And then for me, I can't help but think about the indigenous girls. Like I talked about previously, so many indigenous girls are missing in this part of the world that it's not even funny. Now, I'm not going to sit here and tell you that they're the girls that Epstein was targeting. But is it possible? I think it is. The sensational claim was made by a person claiming to be one of Epstein's former employees and included links purportedly showing the late pedophile engaging in sex with underage girls. All this information coming in to New Mexico to authorities, and nobody did anything about it. We'll let the feds deal with it. Turns out that wasn't a great idea. The tip off sent the FBI in 2019, but ignored for years, claiming the pair were strangled by Epstein and Maxwell during rough sex. The pedo tycoon used the sprawling estate to entertain guests. But it has also allegedly been the scene of some of his most appalling crimes. And look, we've heard that from the very beginning. And while I don't know the extent of what occurred at this ranch, I do know that what did occur there was absolutely horrific. And as details continue to tumble out, it's obvious that there was a cover up. Investigators have probed several allegations surrounding the property, including that Epstein hit a secret incinerator on the ranch. Texas businessman and politician Donald Huffings was previously revealed to be its current owner and is said to be cooperating with the office of state Attorney general Raul Torres. Well, he has no choice. What's he going to do? Not cooperate? They'll get a warrant. So it's in his best interest to cooperate. Now, I don't know what Huffings has to do with any of it, but the fact that he'd buy this ranch and then want to turn it into some kind of, like, Christian camp is straight up bizarre to me. Absolutely weird. Like, of all the places in the world, this is where you're going to set up some kind of camp. Okay. Not sending my kids there. The New Mexico Department of Justice commended the cooperation of the ranch current owners. Epstein purchased the sprawling Zorro Ranch In Stanley, New Mexico, about 30 miles south of Santa Fe in 93 from former Democratic Governor Bruce King. Zorro Ranch was quietly sold to Huffings by the Pedos Estate in 2023, with proceeds going towards creditors. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has always strongly denied any wrongdoing. Yeah, he was at the pizza place. Come on. That wasn't Prince Andrew. That was his brother, Prince Steve. Like, that's how ridiculous the story is from Andrew. But you know what's not ridiculous? The fact that the state of New Mexico is finally stepping up and doing the due diligence that's needed. So we'll have to see what goes down here and just how deep they dig and just how far they go. But I have to say, so far, so good. All the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
