Epstein’s Hardened Communications Setup and the Secrets of Zorro Ranch (5/20/26) · The Epstein Chronicles

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