Latest / The Vault: The Epstein Files / Epstein’s Hardened Communications Setup and the Secrets of Zorro Ranch (5/21/26)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
- 0:03Epstein Chronicles. When it comes to Jeffrey Epstein and Zoro Ranch,
- 0:08we're all still trying to figure out what exactly was
- 0:11going on. One thing is for sure, we don't have
- 0:14the full story. But the good news is we're starting
- 0:18to piece it together. And I think that when we
- 0:22do have the full story, it's going to be pretty
- 0:24shocking to people because Jeffrey Epstein shows Zoro Ranch for
- 0:28a reason, and that reason is location, and considering the
- 0:32sensitive installations that Zoro Ranch has nestled between, it starts
- 0:37to make a whole lot of sense because Jeffrey Epstein
- 0:40was a whole lot more than a loan predator. And
- 0:43in this article from Raw Story, we're going to talk
- 0:45a little bit more about Jeffrey Epstein and his alleged
- 0:48ties to the CIA. This article was published by a
- 0:52Raw Story and the headline little known detail at Epstein's
- 0:56Zorro Ranch may a point the CIA ties. This article
- 1:00was authored by Alexander Willis, and as far as I'm concerned,
- 1:04the evidence has been mounting for years that Jeffrey Epstein
- 1:08was working with and for the CIA, not just the CIA.
- 1:13But Epstein's genesis story, well, that all started at Langley.
- 1:18So that's why I tell you, if you think we've
- 1:20seen all the Epstein files, you have another thing coming.
- 1:23We most certainly have not. We haven't even seen all
- 1:26the files that the DOJ has, never mind what they're
- 1:29stashing at Langley. After coming through the Justice departments publicly
- 1:35available files on Jeffrey Epstein for months, veteran journalist Elisa
- 1:40Valdez Rodriguez came to a striking conclusion on Tuesday that
- 1:44the disgrace financiers communication infrastructure suggests ties to US intelligence,
- 1:49no doubt about it. Why would he have the kind
- 1:52of things that he had on this property. It makes
- 1:55zero sense for a normal person, some loan predator to
- 1:59have the shit that Epstein had. Epstein was CIA, Valdez
- 2:05Rodriguez bluntly claimed in the headline of her latest report
- 2:08published Tuesday, citing the advanced communication network at his new
- 2:12Mexico compound as proof. Well, I think it's pretty strong proof.
- 2:18It's not the smoking gun. But when you add it
- 2:21with everything else we know, not looking so good for
- 2:23the CIA. And look, let's be very clear, I've said
- 2:28from the very beginning that Jeffrey Epstein was a CIA cutout.
- 2:33He was first flipped by the FBI, and then after that, well,
- 2:38they figured out what they had. And once the government
- 2:41figures out that they have a useful tool, they use it.
- 2:44And according to our intelligence services, letting Epstein abuse girls
- 2:49was acceptable as long as he performed his duties for
- 2:52the Intelligent Service, kind of like Whitey Bulger. He was
- 2:56an informant for the government for all those years, but
- 2:59he was still murdering people. He was still acting the
- 3:02way he did, and the government just protected him because
- 3:05they found him useful, you know, means justify the end
- 3:08and all. There's no public confirmation from the CIA, the
- 3:11Justice Department, or any official source that Epstein worked for
- 3:15or was an asset of US intelligence. Oh yeah, because
- 3:19they're so forthcoming, they want to be so transparent that
- 3:22they got rid of all the people that were involved
- 3:25in the petition. So now James Comer's leading the band.
- 3:29Oh yeah, we're going to get to the bottom of this,
- 3:31I'm sure of it. Valdez Rodriguez had previously uncovered that
- 3:36Epstein's New Mexico compound, formerly known as or A Ranch,
- 3:40was outfitted with a private microwave communications link, a military
- 3:44grade communications channel that appears to still be maintained by
- 3:48the property's new owner, former GOP candidate and billionaire businessman
- 3:52Don Haffen's a strong ally of President Donnie diddles. Well,
- 3:58that's odd. Why would that still be an operation? And furthermore,
- 4:02what's underneath Zoro Ranch in those catacombs? What the hell's
- 4:06going on down there? And why would the government continue
- 4:09using that facility. Valdez Rodriguez has uncovered that Zoro Ranch
- 4:15was likely built by Bradbury Stam, a major US government
- 4:19linked contractor that does not build individual homes, and she
- 4:23also exposed high ranking officials for their previously undisclosed ties
- 4:28with a wealthy financier. Well, good job by miss Valdez Rodriguez.
- 4:34Imagine calling yourself a journalist and not being interested in
- 4:37what happened here. I just don't get it. I really
- 4:41just don't get it. The revelations, combined with reporting from
- 4:45journalist k Justice, suggest Epstein may have been recruited as
- 4:49a CIA asset as a teenager with the help of
- 4:52Donald Barr, father of Trump's former Attorney General William Barr,
- 4:56led Valdez Rodriguez to a conclude that Epstein's operation were
- 5:00at least in part facilitated by US intelligence. That's where
- 5:04she loses me. I don't think Donald Barr had anything
- 5:07to do with it as far as recruiting him. And
- 5:10I think that Jeffrey Epstein was flipped by the FBI first,
- 5:13and then of course the FBI and the CIA they
- 5:16talk and if they have an informant that might be useful. Well. Now, look,
- 5:22I'm not saying that Donald Barr's dad didn't have anything
- 5:25to do with it. Afterwards, maybe he did. I don't know.
- 5:30But what I will tell you is this, Jeffrey Epstein
- 5:34was an asset for the government. The files were always public,
- 5:41the documents were always there, The story was always visible
- 5:44to anyone who looked. Valdez Rodriguez wrote, true, one percent true,
- 5:49and you just have to do the legwork to put
- 5:51the pieces together. There's no gigantic mystery here. Now look again,
- 5:56there is no smoking gun. There's not going to be
- 5:59your deal. With intelligence, they clean up their mess. When
- 6:03an asset is burned, they're burned. That means all the records,
- 6:07everything connecting them to the service that's gone. And that's
- 6:12exactly what happened with Epstein. But not only did they
- 6:16get rid of the paper trail, well, they had to
- 6:18get rid of the source. Valdez Rodriguez also highlighted a
- 6:24telling an email exchange Epstein had just over three years
- 6:28before his death in jail while a waiting trial on
- 6:30sex trafficking charges. The NYC Medical Examiner ruled it a suicide.
- 6:36In March of twenty sixteen, Epstein communicated with an individual
- 6:40named William who Valdez Rodriguez identified as being Bill Patterson,
- 6:46a New Mexico businessman and owner of Patterson Ranch Airport
- 6:50in Santa Fe, about setting up an Internet connection for
- 6:53a Zoro Ranch. Look, Epstein's tentacles reached deep, and when
- 6:58it comes to New Mexico folks, again, we are just
- 7:02scratching the surface. There's a lot going on down in
- 7:05New Mexico. Of the options available, Epstein chose the most difficult,
- 7:11a option one that Patterson said would require incredibly expensive,
- 7:15industrial military grade equipment. I wonder why he needed that.
- 7:20I'm sure it was just so he could, you know,
- 7:22send emails to Henry Jureki, or so that he can
- 7:26contact Prince Andrew. I mean, how much more evidence do
- 7:28people need. The silver lining of choosing the most difficult
- 7:33ad option, Valdez Rodriguez explained, was that it would make
- 7:36interception of communications effectively impossible. So what people will say
- 7:41is he was just a private guy, you know, rich guy, private,
- 7:44didn't want anyone to know about all of his you know,
- 7:47business dealings. What are you a conspiracy theorist. The documents
- 7:53recording that choice and everything that followed are sitting in
- 7:56the DOJ's publicly available Epstein file archive. They've been there
- 8:00since the files were released. Almost no one has read them.
- 8:04Valdez Rodriguez wrote, Well, there's a lot going on in
- 8:07the files, and I think each person who's interested in
- 8:10the story has their own rabbit holes to jump down.
- 8:14And right now we're focusing on Jeffrey Epstein's death when
- 8:17it comes to the files, but we're going to make
- 8:20our way through all of it, well maybe not all
- 8:23of it. Three million documents, a lot of documents, but
- 8:26the ones that are consequential, the ones that I find
- 8:29to be enlightening. Our journey has just begun. What they
- 8:33reveal is not merely a connectivity decision. It's the operational
- 8:38signature of an intelligence asset, building covert communications infrastructure, surrounded
- 8:43by the men who built them, protected by the institutions
- 8:46that owned them, and connected literally through a satellite uplink
- 8:50with direct to orbit authorization for wherever his handlers needed
- 8:55that data to go. And I don't think Epstein had
- 8:58handlers in the traditional sense. I think that Epstein was
- 9:02a free agent. He had contacts, he had people at
- 9:06these agencies that he could go through, and people certainly
- 9:09contacted him for jobs one hundred percent, But I don't
- 9:13think he had a handler in the traditional sense. You know,
- 9:17going to the park for a meetup or a drop off.
- 9:21All right, the bench over by the statue, You're going
- 9:24to look under the bench and there's a hollowed out
- 9:27piece of it, and that's where you'll find your message.
- 9:29I don't think that's what Epstein was doing. I think
- 9:31that Epstein was working for himself a lot of the time,
- 9:35but that he would take jobs on spec. You know,
- 9:37he'd be contacted by Russia, or he'd be contacted by
- 9:40the Masad or somebody at CIA or I six, whatever,
- 9:45and he would effectively be the middleman. He'd facilitate whatever
- 9:49it is they're looking for. And I think that when
- 9:52you really get into it and you start looking at
- 9:55what Epstein really was, that's what he was. A facilitator,
- 10:00a man that would make things happen. Yeah, I could
- 10:03connect you, Oh I can loan you that. Oh I
- 10:05got a guy. And that's why Epstein was indispensable to
- 10:09these people, and that's why, in my opinion, he was
- 10:12protected for so long. And now that the State of
- 10:14New Mexico has launched their investigation, I wonder how deep
- 10:18they're gonna go. So, like usual, we'll keep an eye
- 10:21on things and when we have some more information one
- 10:24way or the other, we'll get it added to the catalog.
- 10:27All the information that goes with this episode can be
