What's up, everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we have two articles that we're going to dive into. The first one has to do with New Mexico and the investigation that lawmakers have launched into what happened at Zorro Ranch. And the second one has to do with Colombia, the country, and the announcement from the Colombian government that they're going to be releasing all their documentation on Jeffrey Epstein and his criminal enterprise in Colombia. So that's going to be the second article that we dive into. So first things first, let's head over to New Mexico and let's get caught up. This article was published by KOAT.com and the headline, new Mexico Lawmakers Want Answers about what Happened at Epstein Zorro Ranch. Yeah, us too. So that's good. About time. Some lawmakers in New Mexico gave a damn about what happened because up until now, they didn't care. The author of this article is John Rupolo. New Mexico is investigating Jeffrey Epstein's alleged crimes at Zorro Ranch and the system that allowed him to continue his abuse. The question is, how deep are they going to go, right? Are they going to go deep enough or are they just going to be surface level and give us enough of an investigation where they can say, look, we tried. There's nothing there. There's no actionable intelligence. And the Justice Department, they were right. Could that be what they're angling for? Very possible. I mean, does the state of New Mexico really want to open this can of worms? I would think so, but we have to remember that there's a lot of people that are going to be affected and a lot of powerful people. And whenever you have a situation like that, it always causes a roadblock. And we've seen how effective it's been down in New Mexico when it comes to Epstein all these years, and no real information. Representative Melanie Stansberry shared her concerns on social media over the weekend, questioning how Epstein was able to abuse young girls in Florida and then continue similar activities in New Mexico. Well, the reason that occurred is because of the npa, and I'm sure you're tired of hearing about it, but it's very important and it's something that has to be done away with. And if they can get rid of that npa, and they can, it would change the whole conversation, right? I mean, if you get rid of the npa, the whole trajectory of the investigation changes. And we really want to expose and understand not just how he was able to abuse survivors, but how he abuses systems themselves. Stansberry said, well, when you have friends in high places, not that difficult, is it? When you have friends that are willing to step up and put their name on the line for you, they're willing to step up and pull on some levers. And not only that, you're being protected by the people that you're working for or working with as an asset. And for Jeffrey Epstein, he had many layers of protection, whether it was local or whether it was federal or international. This man was well protected. And you know why? Because he produced results for the people he got in business with. That's why. Stansberry is currently in Palm Beach, Florida, as part of the Congressional committee investigating Epstein's crimes. The committee is interviewing survivors, witnesses, and authorities to understand how the case was handled. Oh, it was handled poorly. That's how it was handled. It was handled corruptly. That's how it was handled. In 2008, Epstein avoided federal charges in Florida through a plea deal, pleading guilty to procuring a person under 18 for prostitution. I mean, what the are we even talking about? Once again, somebody who's under 18 can't be a prostitute. They can't consent, so how can they be a prostitute? Stansberry's questioning whether similar circumstances occurred at Epstein's Oro Ranch in New Mexico. 1000%. I am sure of it. How about that? And as you all know, very rarely do I ever say, oh, oh, I'm sure of this, or I'm sure of that. Not in a case like this. But if you think nobody was being abused down in New Mexico, I don't know what to tell you. And so we're really looking to understand what exactly happened in West Palm Beach, Stansberry said, why he was allowed to continue to abuse women. And this system of abuse, then he exported it and made New Mexico ultimately his next victim. She added, and look, there's a lot that needs to be investigated. Wherever Epstein was but New Mexico, most certainly we have only seen the very tip of the iceberg of Epstein's behavior in New Mexico. The Epstein Truth Commission was formed in February in New Mexico, consisting of four bipartisan lawmakers tasked with investigating the state's role and failing to identify potential crimes. And Zorro Ranch. The commission has hired an Albuquerque law firm to subpoena witnesses and compel testimony. While no schedule for meetings has been set, all proceedings will be made public as they should be. There is no room for secrecy anymore. All the cards need to be put on the table. Representative Andrea Romero, chair of the commission, express hope for uncovering the truth. We're hopeful that this came of. People can tell us the story of what happened at Zorro Ranch and in the enterprise of Jeffrey Epstein over the course of that time. We've heard so many things around the various crimes. You know, our state even settled for financial crimes. What did that mean? Romero said. And it's a good question, right? Why didn't the state of New Mexico do what it should have done? Why did the state of New Mexico kick the ball down the road? Why did the state of New Mexico let Jeffrey Epstein get away with what he got away with? And I'm sure all of those questions, amongst others, are going to be asked, but the real question is, will we get any answers? That's the real question. But one thing I will say is that I like to see the States working in conjunction with one another building a case and trying to figure out what exactly happened when it comes to Epstein. And hopefully that coordination continues. Because if the federal government doesn't have the willpower to do the right thing, then states can start exploring if crimes were committed inside of their state. And if that's the case, then of course they can open a case at the state level and I think that's what they're shooting for, to try and find some crimes that are punishable that they can pursue. The question, of course is will they be successful? We'll have to see. Alright, moving on to the second article that we're going to discuss and this one was published by CTV News ca headline Columbia Court orders Full disclosure about Epstein and Maxwell's visits. The author of this article is AFP and that of course is Associated Press. So they must have gotten this article from the ap. A Colombian court has ordered immigration authorities to release information about trips to the South American country by the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. It emerged Monday. What about Jean Luc Brunel? How about we get those documents too? Because Brunel was Epstein's point man. In South America, former Colombian president Andres Pastrana, who governed from 1998 to 2002, is mentioned several times in files released by the U. S Justice Department regarding Epstein's crimes. Well, yeah, of course. Just the kind of guy that Jeffrey Epstein loved. Corrupt, criminal and willing to wet his beak in Jeffrey Epstein's trough. That's the kind of guy Jeffrey Epstein was looking for. Especially if you're in the position that that Pastrana was in. He was a passenger on Epstein's private plane in 2003 and appears in emails that suggest a Close relationship with both Epstein and Maxwell. Yeah. Colombia was one of their favorite hunting grounds. This is what I've been telling you for years now. At some point, people are going to get around to understanding that South America and Central America was an absolute fertile hunting ground for new biles. That's what they called them. Right? And they knew that people were in financial straits down there. A lot of destitution, a lot of poverty, and a lot of people looking for a way out. Then you have Jean Luc Brunel show up to your village and he starts talking about, oh, I'm a model scout. I work with this one, that one. I want to bring you to America. I want to make you a model. Only to bring her to America and drop her directly into the clutches of Jeffrey Epstein. Pastrana also appears in a photograph with Maxwell from 2002, both wearing Colombian Air Force uniforms. Ah, they weren't close. Come on. Don't believe your lying eyes. Don't believe the evidence. Believe what I tell you. That's the kind of we keep hearing from people that were caught up with Epstein. And guess what? Nobody's buying it. Nobody believes it, and nobody wants to hear it. In declassified email, she claimed to have flown a Blackhawk military helicopter in Colombia and to have fired from the air at a guerrilla group in the Amazon. Well, isn't that nice? Let's have Ghislaine Maxwell behind the sticks firing off Sidewinder missiles that were probably provided by the American taxpayer. Add some guerrilla group in the Amazon. What does that even mean? But hold on. Before we get too far down the rabbit hole, let's remember that Jeffrey Epstein, he was a lone predator. The Administrative Court of Cunda Marca Department in Central Colombia ordered the Immigration Authority Migration Colombia to make public details about Epstein and Maxwell's visits to the country. The agency had previously refused journalist requests for information, citing national security and and personal data protection reasons. National security again? When it comes to Epstein, I wonder why. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact that Jeffrey Epstein was an international asset who had deep ties to intelligence and governments around the world. I'm sure that had nothing to do with it. The court, however, ruled that the information was of high public interest and involved an issue that merited citizen oversight. Pastrana acknowledges having met with Epstein and Maxwell on several occasions, but insists that the meetings were formal in nature. Where have we heard that before? That sounds familiar, huh? You know, we met, but we were just, you know, talking about the weather. I heard that Jeffrey Epstein has great taste in clothes, like, for real. He says that Maxwell, who's serving a 20 year sentence in the US for her role in Epstein's sex trafficking ring, took a brief flight in Colombia, but denies that she carried out attacks from the aircraft. Well, I don't know who to believe. I mean, Maxwell's an absolute liar, there's no doubt. But Pastrana is not exactly a fountain of truth either, is he? So I guess it's pick your poison. He insists that he never visited Epstein's infamous private island in the Caribbean, where the magnate allegedly trapped women and minors, making them available to businessmen and political figures. Yeah, I think that's a big misnomer. By the way, that wasn't the exact operation. Now, that did occur. There were people that were given, you know, girls, Andrew, etc. But that wasn't the purpose of what Epstein was doing. That was a byproduct. Jeffrey Epstein was collecting information. That was his job. He was a middleman, he was an asset. And to do that, you have to have the right contacts, right? And of course, Jeffrey Epstein built the whole Rolodex of contacts while he was working with Adnan Khashoggi and Douglas Leese. And I'm pretty sure they're familiar. And he was familiar with Columbia and Pastrana. Epstein had long standing ties to the world's political and business elite. In 2008, he pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor. He died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial. His death was ruled a suicide. But numerous security lapses at the jail and missing CCTV footage have led to persistent doubts about the official account. Well, I have no idea how anyone buys the narrative around Jeffrey Epstein's death. One of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. But as far as Colombia goes, I've told you guys, for years, Jeffrey Epstein was super active in South America. And I think the realization is going to hit people like a ton of bricks, because it's not even really in the mainstream conversation, right? It's always about Florida, the island, New York. And now we're starting to talk a little bit about Europe, but South America, not really even on the radar yet, but it's going to be. And I think that the fallout that's going to come with it is going to be massive. So, as usual, we're going to keep an eye on it and we'll see where it all goes. And when we have some more information about either New Mexico or Colombia, we'll get it added to the catalog. All of the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
