• Media Scrutiny & Doubts:

  • Even usually supportive outlets like Fox News question administration statements:

We have some pretty big developments right now from Epstein to Iran in Epstein World. The first ever investigation search of the Zoro Coral Ranch in New Mexico, the property where Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell abused children and there were even reports that bodies were buried on the property. Well, the first ever search of that property has been launched overnight and into the morning hours and for the rest of the week. Major developments in New Mexico right now as the fight for accountability and justice continues, even as a war is raging overseas. And right now, the President of the United States is promising Iran potential death, fire and fury if it continues to lash out and continues to strike back. All while Iran is threatening Donald Trump's life. And Pete Hecseth says today that you know what? It will be the most intense day of strikes yet coming on the day that New Mexico authorities launched a Sepstein investigation. Make sure to like, comment, share and subscribe.

I want to begin by talking about this major search that has been launched by New Mexico authorities. State investigators have begun searching the secluded ranch in New Mexico called Zorro Ranch. Jeffrey Epstein there once entertained guests but also abused children. Why do we know this to be true? Well, because Annie Farmer and Maria Farmer testified about this, made this very public. Annie Farmer specifically testified under oath in Ghislaine Maxwell's trial about the abuse she endured in the 90s in New Mexico. The office of State Attorney General Raul Torres announced that the search was being done with the cooperation of the current ranch owners. There were dogs on the property. There were police officers on the property. And the department initiated the search with the help of the New Mexico State Police and the Sandoval County Sheriff's Office. They reopened the investigation last month because of the alleged activity that occurred on the property. And, well, it had never been searched. This property was never searched by New York prosecutors, by the Trump Justice Department in 2019 or 2018 or 2020 was never searched by New Mexico authorities back then. It was never searched. Well, it's being searched now. Quote, the New Mexico Department of Justice appreciates the cooperation of the current property owners, the agency said in a statement. Prosecutors will continue to keep the public Informed. Support the survivors and follow the facts wherever they lead. There is also this new truth commission that New Mexico state legislators established to look into past activities at the ranch. We'll see what they find. We'll learn more soon. At the same time, we do have a war raging overseas. And overnight the President issued his strongest threat to the Iranian people. In the Iranian government to date, quote, if Iran does anything that stops the flow of oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit hard. They will be hit by the United States of America 20 times harder than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back as a nation again. Death, fire and fury will reign upon them. But I hope and pray that doesn't happen. This is a gift from the United States of America to China and all of those nations that heavily use the Ormu Strait. Hopefully it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter. And it comes as the United States of America set to launch our our biggest strikes to date. But in response to this post, the Iranian government, Ali Larajani, who is a senior Iranian official, one of the top national security officials in the government, issued a threat back to the President. The Ashura loving Iranian people do not fear your hollow threats. For those greater than you have failed to erase it. So beware lest you be the ones to vanish essentially threatening the life of the American president. And well, get ready because like I said, today is the day for the most intense strikes in Iran since the war began.

[C]

For example, today will be yet again our most intense day of strikes inside Iran. The most fighters, the most bombers, the most strikes. Intelligence more refined and better than ever. So that's on one hand. On the other hand, the last 24 hours have seen Iran fire the lowest number of missiles they've been capable of firing yet. Just the bifurcation, just the trend lines that we talked about on our first briefing.

[B]

The strongest and most intense strikes to date. It does come as the administration is facing immense scrutiny over what happened at the school in southern Iran. Take a listen to what heccseth had to say this morning regarding targeting civilians in Iran.

[D]

Thank you so much. Voluntary hexeth President Trump has long said that he wants to minimize the loss of life in war which, wherever it occurs, in whatever country, which so many people will obviously appreciate. Can you detail the specific measures the Pentagon is taking to minimize civilian casualties and strikes inside Iran? And secondarily is the Pentagon Prioritizing replenishment of precision guided munitions, long range ranged strike weapons or air defense interceptors. And can you share any details on which systems are being prioritized?

[C]

Yeah. Seeing it from the inside every single day, including this. No nation takes more precautions to ensure there's never targeting of civilians than the United States of America. From the boat strikes in the Caribbean where every single strike is assessed, to these, to this campaign here, no nation in the history of warfare has ever attempted in every way possible to avoid civilian casualties. And frankly that's a point that just isn't appreciated enough. Where things happen that, that need to be investigated. We will investigate to the, to the, to the question shouted in the back that it's not open source is not the place to determine what did or did not happen. We take things very, very seriously and investigate them thoroughly, which takes time.

[B]

So they're investigating the strikes on the school. But even Fox News is acknowledging what the President and the Secretary are trying to sell the public. Just doesn't add up. Take a listen.

[E]

Bring in Jen Griffin, our national security correspondent. One of the questions in that news conference was about the strike on the girls school that's next to a base in Iran. And it was a Tomahawk missile. The President saying Tomahawks are used by other countries. But an investigation is ongoing. What do we, what do we know about where that stands?

[F]

Well, that was a bit surprising to me because basically the US Has Tomahawks. Tomahawks have to be fired from either submarines or from warships. The Brits and the Australians have Tomahawks but they're not part of this conflict. And then you also have the Japanese who are in a testing phase. So it seems highly unlikely that it would be anyone's Tomahawk other than a US Tomahawk that hit that school. And I think the President knows that. He just knows that this is certainly a mistake, a big mistake and it's being investigated. But he's trying to sort of muddy the waters by talking about the Tomahawks.

[E]

Yeah, they were saying that they didn't believe it was theirs or they, they believe that Iran misfired something. Are we sure that it was a Tomahawk that hit that school?

[F]

There's no evidence that the Iranians fired anything at this school. If you look at the satellite imageries and there have been a lot of, a lot of investigations from the air, from these satellite photos showing the impact and showing the likelihood that it was at a tomahawk.
