The Investigation Into Jeffrey Epstein Expands In New Mexico And Colombia (5/12/26) · The Epstein Chronicles

0:00
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
0:03
Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we have two articles that
0:07
we're going to dive into. The first one has to
0:10
do with New Mexico and the investigation that lawmakers have
0:13
launched into what happened at Zoro Ranch. And the second
0:17
one has to do with Colombia, the country and the
0:21
announcement from the Columbian government that they're going to be
0:24
releasing all their documentation on Jeffrey Epstein and his criminal
0:29
enterprise in Colombia. So that's going to be the second
0:32
article that we dive into. So first things first, let's
0:36
head over to New Mexico and let's get caught up.
0:39
This article was published by koat dot com and the
0:44
headline new Mexico lawmakers want answers about what happened at
0:49
Epstein' Zoro Ranch. Yeah, us two. So that's good about
0:53
time some lawmakers in New Mexico gave a damn about
0:56
what happened, because up until now they didn't care. The
1:02
author of this article is John Rupolo. New Mexico's investigating
1:08
Jeffrey Epstein's alleged crimes at Zoro Ranch and the system
1:12
that allowed him to continue his abuse. The question is
1:15
how deep are they going to go? Right? Are they
1:17
going to go deep enough? Or are they just going
1:20
to be surface level and give us enough of an
1:22
investigation where they can say, look, we tried, there's nothing there,
1:26
there's no actionable intelligence, and the Justice Department they were right.
1:33
Could that be what they're angling for? Very possible. I mean,
1:37
does the state of New Mexico really want to open
1:39
this can of worms? I would think so, But we
1:43
have to remember that there's a lot of people that
1:45
are going to be affected and a lot of powerful people,
1:48
and whenever you have a situation like that, it always
1:50
causes the roadblock. And we've seen how effective it's been
1:53
down in New Mexico when it comes to Epstein, all
1:56
these years and no real information. Representative Melanie Stansbury shared
2:01
her concerns on social media over the weekend, questioning how
2:05
Epstein was able to abuse young girls in Florida and
2:07
then continue similar activities in New Mexico. Well, the reason
2:11
that occurred is because of the NPA, And I'm sure
2:14
you're tired of hearing about it, but it's very important
2:17
and it's something that has to be done away with.
2:20
And if they can get rid of that NPA, and
2:22
they can. It would change the whole conversation, right, I mean,
2:26
if you get rid of the NPA, the whole trajectory
2:29
of the investigation changes. And we really want to expose
2:33
and understand not just how he was able to abuse survivors,
2:36
but how he abuses systems themselves. Stansberry said, Well, when
2:41
you have friends in high places, not that difficult, is it.
2:45
When you have friends that are willing to step up
2:48
and put their name on the line for you, They're
2:51
willing to step up and pull on some levers. And
2:54
not only that, you're being protected by the people that
2:58
you're working for or working with as an asset. And
3:04
for Jeffrey Epstein, he had many layers of protection, whether
3:07
it was local or whether it was federal or international.
3:12
This man was well protected. And do you know why
3:16
because he produced results for the people he got in
3:19
business with. That's why Stansbury's currently in Palm Beach, Florida,
3:24
as part of the Congressional committee investigating Epstein's crimes. The
3:27
committee is interviewing survivors, witnesses, and authorities to understand how
3:32
the case was handled. Oh, it was handled poorly. That's
3:35
how it was handled. It was handled corruptly, That's how
3:39
it was handled. In two thousand and eight, Epstein avoided
3:43
federal charges in Florida through a plea deal pleading guilty
3:46
or pro carrying a person under eighteen for prostitution. I mean,
3:50
what the fuck are we even talking about? Once again,
3:55
somebody who's under eighteen can't be a prostitute. They can't consent,
4:00
So how can they be a prostitute? Stansbury's questioning whether
4:06
similar circumstances occurred at Epstein's or a ranch in New
4:10
Mexico one thousand percent. I am sure of it. How
4:15
about that? And as you all know, very rarely do
4:19
I ever say, oh, I'm sure of this or I'm
4:20
sure of that, not in a case like this. But
4:23
if you think nobody was being abused down in New Mexico,
4:27
I don't know what to tell you. And so we're
4:29
really looking to understand what exactly happened in West Palm Beach.
4:33
Stansbury said, why he was allowed to continue to abuse
4:37
women and this system of abuse then he exported it
4:40
and made New Mexico ultimately his next victim. She added,
4:45
and look, there's a lot that needs to be investigated
4:49
wherever Epstein was, but New Mexico. Most certainly, we have
4:54
only seen the very tip of the iceberg of Epstein's
4:57
behavior in New Mexico. The Epstein Truth Commission was formed
5:02
in February in New Mexico, consisting of four bipartisan lawmakers
5:07
tasked with investigating the state's role and failing to identify
5:10
potential crimes at Zorro Ranch. The commission has hired an
5:14
Albuquerque law firm to subpoena witnesses and compel testimony. While
5:18
no schedule for meetings has been set, all proceedings will
5:22
be made public as they should be. There is no
5:25
room for secrecy anymore. All the cards need to be
5:28
put on the table. Representative Andrea Romero, chair of the commission,
5:33
express hope for uncovering the truth. We're hopeful that this
5:37
team of people can tell us the story of what
5:39
happened at Zorro Ranch and in the enterprise of Jeffrey Epstein.
5:43
Over the course of that time, we've heard so many
5:45
things around the various crimes. You know, our state even
5:48
settled for financial crimes. What did that mean? Romero said,
5:53
And it's a good question, right why didn't the State
5:55
of New Mexico do what it should have done? Why
5:57
did the State of New Mexico kick the ball down
5:59
the road? Why did the State of New Mexico let
6:02
Jeffrey Epstein get away with what he got away with?
6:06
And I'm sure all of those questions, amongst others, are
6:09
going to be asked, But the real question is will
6:13
we get any answers? That's the real question. But one
6:16
thing I will say is that I like to see
6:18
the states working in conjunction with one another, building a
6:22
case and trying to figure out what exactly happened when
6:25
it comes to Epstein, And hopefully that coordination continues, because
6:29
if the federal government doesn't have the willpower to do
6:32
the right thing, then states can start exploring if crimes
6:35
were committed inside of their state, and if that's the case,
6:39
then of course they can open a case at the
6:42
state level. And I think that's what they're shooting for,
6:45
to try and find some crimes that are punishable that
6:50
they can pursue. The question, of course, is will they
6:54
be successful. We'll have to see, all right. Moving on
6:58
to the second article that we're going to say discuss,
7:01
and this one was published by Ctvnews dot CA headline
7:06
Colombia court orders full disclosure about Epstein and Maxwell's visits.
7:13
The author of this article is AFP, and that, of
7:16
course is Associated Press, so they must have gotten this
7:19
article from the AP. A Colombian court has ordered immigration
7:24
authorities to release information about trips to the South American
7:28
country by the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and
7:31
his accomplice Glenn Maxwell. It emerged Monday. What about Jean
7:36
Vu Brunel, How about we get those documents too, because
7:40
Brunel was Epstein's point man in South America. Former Colombian
7:46
President Andres Pastrana, who governed from nineteen ninety eight to
7:49
two thousand and two, is mentioned several times in files
7:53
released by the US Justice Department regarding Epstein's crimes. Well, yeah,
7:57
of course, just the kind of guy that Jeffrey Epstein loved. Corrupt,
8:03
criminal and willing to wet his beak in Jeffrey Epstein's trough.
8:09
That's the kind of guy Jeffrey Epstein was looking for,
8:11
especially if you're in the position that Thestraano was in.
8:15
He was a passingern Epstein's private plan in two thousand
8:18
and three, and appeareds in emails that suggest a close
8:22
relationship with both Epstein and Maxwell. Yeah, Columbia was one
8:26
of their favorite hunting grounds. This is what I've been
8:28
telling you for years now. At some point people are
8:32
going to get around to understanding that South America and
8:35
Central America was an absolute fertile hunting ground for new bios.
8:41
That's what they called them, right, And they knew that
8:45
people were in financial straits down there, a lot of destitution,
8:49
a lot of poverty, and a lot of people looking
8:51
for a way out. Then you have Jean Luke Brunell
8:54
show up to your village and he starts talking about, Oh,
8:57
I'm a model scout. I work with this one. That one.
9:00
I want to bring you to America. I want to
9:02
make you a model, only to bring her to America
9:06
and drop her directly into the clutches of Jeffrey Epstein.
9:12
Pastrana also appears in a photograph with Maxwell from two
9:15
thousand and two, both wearing Colombian Air Force uniforms. Ah,
9:18
they wearn't clothes. Come on, don't believe you're lying eyes,
9:22
don't believe the evidence. Believe what I tell you. That's
9:25
the kind of shit we keep hearing from people that
9:27
were caught up with Epstein, and guess what, nobody's buying it.
9:30
Nobody believes it, and nobody wants to hear it. In
9:35
the classified email, she claimed to have flown a black
9:38
Hawk military helicopter in Colombia and to have fired from
9:41
the air at a gorilla group in the Amazon. Well,
9:45
isn't that nice. Let's have Glenn Maxwell behind the sticks
9:48
firing off sidewinder missiles that were probably provided by the
9:52
American taxpayer at some gorilla group in the Amazon. What
9:57
does that even mean? But hold on, before we get
9:59
two ar down the rabbit hole, Let's remember that Jeffrey Epstein,
10:03
he was a long predator. The Administrative Court of Kunda
10:07
Marca Department in Central Columbia ordered the Immigration Authority Migration
10:13
Colombia to make public details about Epstein and Maxwell's visits
10:17
to the country. The agency had previously refused journalist's requests
10:21
for information, citing national security and personal data protection reasons.
10:26
National security again, when it comes to Epstein, I wonder why.
10:30
I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact
10:32
that Jeffrey Epstein was an international asset who had deep
10:36
ties to intelligence and governments around the world. I'm sure
10:39
that had nothing to do with it. The court, however,
10:45
ruled that the information was of high public interest and
10:48
involved an issue that merited citizen oversight. Pastrana acknowledges having
10:53
met with Epstein and Maxwell on several occasions, but insists
10:56
that the meetings were formal in nature. Or if we
10:59
heard that before, that sounds familiar. Huh, you know, we met,
11:03
but we were just, you know, talking about the weather.
11:06
I heard that Jeffrey Epstein has great taste in clothes,
11:10
like for real. He says that Maxwell, who's serving a
11:16
twenty year sentence in the US for her role in
11:19
Epstein's sex trafficking ring, took a brief flight in Columbia,
11:22
but denies that she carried out attacks from the aircraft. Well,
11:27
I don't know who to believe. I mean, Maxwell's an
11:29
absolute liar, there's no doubt. But Pastrana is not exactly
11:34
a fountain of truth either, is he. So I guess
11:38
it's pick your poison. He insists that he never visited
11:42
Epstein's infamous private island in the Caribbean, where the magnate
11:46
allegedly traffed women and miners, making them available to businessmen
11:50
and political figures. Yeah, I think that's a big misnomer.
11:53
By the way, that wasn't the exact operation. Now, that
11:57
did occur. There were people that were given you know,
12:01
girls andrew, et cetera. But that wasn't the purpose of
12:05
what Epstein was doing. That was a byproduct. Jeffrey Epstein
12:10
was collecting information. That was his job. He was a middleman,
12:15
he was an asset, and to do that you have
12:18
to have the right contacts, right, And of course Jeffrey
12:21
Epstein built the whole role of decks of contacts while
12:23
he was working with add On Koshogi and Douglas Lease,
12:28
and I'm pretty sure they're familiar and he was familiar
12:31
with Colombia and Pastrana. Epstein had long standing ties to
12:37
the world's political and business elite. In two thousand and eight,
12:40
he pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor. He
12:44
died in prison in twenty nineteen while awaiting trial. His
12:48
death was ruled to suicide, but numerous security lapses at
12:52
the jail and missing CCTV footage have led to persistent
12:56
doubts about the official account. Well, I have no idea
12:59
how any one buys the narrative around Jeffrey Epstein's death
13:02
one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. But
13:06
as far as Columbia goes, I've told you guys for years,
13:10
Jeffrey Epstein was super active in South America, and I
13:14
think the realization is going to hit people like a
13:16
ton of bricks because it's not even really in the
13:18
mainstream conversation, right It's always about Florida, the Island, New
13:23
York and now we're starting to talk a little bit
13:26
about Europe. But South America not really even on the
13:29
radar yet, but it's gonna be, and I think that
13:33
the fallout that's gonna come with it is gonna be massive.
13:36
So as usual, we're going to keep an eye on
13:39
it and we'll see where it all goes. And when
13:41
we have some more information about either New Mexico or Colombia,
13:46
we'll get it added to the catalog. All of the
13:49
information that goes with this episode can be found in
13:52
the description box.
