Two days ago, New Mexico's state House voted unanimously to create a commission to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch. Among the probable reasons for the commission's creation was this:

Among the US Justice Department’s latest release of millions of pages of documents related to Epstein is a 2019 email sent to Eddy Aragon, the host of a local radio show, that alleged that “somewhere in the hills outside the Zorro, two foreign girls were buried on orders of Jeffrey and Madam G.”

“Both died by strangulation during rough, fetish sex,” the email claimed. The unverified allegations came from someone who claimed they were a former employee at the ranch. The sender of the email was redacted by the DOJ. It’s not clear that those allegations have been investigated by law enforcement.

The current owner has stated that no one has yet investigated the ranch.

HOWEVER, The Meidas Touch reports that, in an interview between Matt Gaetz and the current owner - who is a rabid maga moron - the owner has SUDDENLY undertaken a demolition and renovation project on the ranch. Because he's going to turn it into (drumroll) a Christian children's camp.

&t=3s

So any evidence is likely gone.

And I do have to ask: WHY didn't WE investigate the ranch when WE had the power to do so? I always assumed it was ongoing. Clearly it was not.

Edited to clarify who currently owns the ranch. It's a maga guy, not Gaetz.

1. They're just NOW getting around to investigating?

Good for the NM House, but where was the DOJ all this time?

DURec

[evolves]

17. DOJ

has their heads up rump’s ass as per usual.

[SergeStorms]

30. The "DOJ".....

has become the "Dump On Justice" arm of tRump's personal protection agency.

Their singular function is to protect tRump from accountability for his crimes. Oh, and revenge. How forgetful of me. 😏

[Walleye]

2. Why not put up a big gross ballroom so they could literally dance on the girls' graves?

[Whyisthisstillclose]

3. We seem to be in an endless loop of hellscapes.

[OAITW r.2.0]

4. Watching this now. A Christian retreat for young children.

Former Texas State Senator that went to Russia to try to help normalize relation with Putin's Russia.

Truly sickening.

13. Don Huffines owns the ranch and his son Russell works at the White House

Predators birds of prey. They are all pedophiles.

And Don Huffines is currently running for state wide office and is a nazi white supremacist nationalist christian.

Don also bought the ranch sight unseen. He claims he's never ever stepped foot on the property. His wife signed the paperwork and they changed the name of the ranch, and bought it under a LLC to hid who purchased the ranch.

[GiqueCee]

32. So, who actually owns Epstein's baby brothel...

... Don Huffines or Matt Gaetz? Gaetz is a known serial philanderer and an Epstein wannabe, but he's a Republican, so he gets a pass.
Seems like the state of New Mexico could legally halt any and all demolition and/or construction to preserve potential evidence, could they not?
These evil monsters have to be put down like the rabid hyenas they are.

[muriel_volestrangler]

34. Huffines is the owner - I got confused by the OP wording too

Gaetz has a wingnut-welfare show at "One America News Network", and he interviewed Huffines, a former Texas State Senator.

Former Texas state Sen. Don Huffines (R), the owner of a New Mexico ranch previously owned by Jeffrey Epstein, said this week he plans on turning the property into a Christian retreat.

Huffines, who is also running for Texas comptroller, told former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) on his One America News Network show Tuesday that turning the ranch into a retreat “is the main reason” he bought the property. The property, which Huffines has renamed from Zorro Ranch to Rancho de San Rafael, was owned by Epstein for more than two decades until his death. It is located roughly 30 miles outside Santa Fe.

My first thought was "Gaetz, credibly accused of raping underage girls, bought Epstein's ranch????"

But now, it just seems like the set-up for a bad horror movie - "they thought they were going to a religious retreat. But the sins of the former owner would turn their stay into a nightmare ...".

[GiqueCee]

37. Thanks for the clarification...

... I've no doubt that Huffines has a closet of his own that's cram-packed with skeletons. It seems likely that there's no such thing as a Republican that doesn't.

[Scrivener7]

38. Sorry. I edited to clarify. It is Huffines. He talked about the demolition on Gaetz's podcast.

[Wednesdays]

5. "So any evidence is likely gone."

Not necessarily.

They would have had to do an awful lot of digging to destroy the evidence. That is, unless Gaetz knew where all the bodies were buried.

[Scrivener7]

7. Or someone knew. A maga guy who was in that republican meeting with Putin? AKA the new owner?

[intheflow]

8. The State can most likely get a judge to issue a warrant

and get the work shut down while the property is under investigation. I read an article on here last week (?) about forensic crime scenes. Things like blood can be surfaced cleaned, but that won’t necessarily catch every drop between floorboards. Or a building with, say, a crematorium could be demolished and burned but there may still be traceable chemicals in the surrounding dirt layers that indicate its past use. I hope that’s what is going to happen.

[Deuxcents]

6. Could they have a cease and desist order until it's investigated? Why the rush now?

[Scrivener7]

9. I have my guesses about why now, but yes, wouldn't you think it could be stopped?

[Botany]

10. Isn't this the New Mexico Ranch that was owned by Epstein where it is rumored that Robin Leach killed a ..

…. a young woman (girl) during “rough sex?”

[Scrivener7]

12. I hadn't heard about Robin Leach specifically. But seems like that story of girls being

killed there is widespread.

ETA: but jeez. What a creepy crowd. Robin Leach? Ewwww.

[MagickMuffin]

16. Robin Leach (perfect name)

I read an jmail where a model was speaking about an elobrate dinner and she had to sit next to the leach, and he would constantly put his hands all over her without consent. He even asked her if she would go to the bathroom pee in her panties and then give them to her for $5000.

🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[Wiz Imp]

21. There was a tip to the FBI about Robin Leach killing a girl at a party

but it was not specified where that happened. I can find nothing specifically connecting him to Epstein's New MExico ranch.

[Botany]

22. You might be right

I kind of remember reading or seeing something about Epstein’s New Mexico property and
Robin Leach but I can’t find it now.

[MustLoveBeagles]

29. I'd heard about Robin Leach being apart of this

But I hadn't heard the murder part before now.

[dalton99a]

11. A well planned coincidence.

[mwmisses4289]

14. How to scream "I'm guilty of something"

without screaming "I'm guilty of something". Or rather, my son's boss is.
The current creep who owns the ranch is running for office in texas, and his son apparently has a post in the current maladminastration.

[bluestarone]

15. If they are serious about investigating this

All construction should be HALTED!!

[flvegan]

18. Anyone confirmed this alleged "demolition" yet?

[Scrivener7]

19. It was the owner who said it in an interview on

Gaetz's podcast. The meidas touch video has the excerpt.

[flvegan]

24. So the answer is "no" then?

No offense, but I'm not clicking on nor monetizing any account with that sort of bullshit, ragebait title nor thumbnail (GIANT YELLOW ARROW OMGMGMGMG!!!! lol). I understand that The Outrage Factory feeds on clicks and likes, but they won't be mine.

Any specifics on this demo project, or is it just speculation? Summary?

Yeah, it's fucked up that the Zorro Ranch or whatever the fuck it is now wasn't sealed up for a complete investigation in the 90's when this became Epstein's House of Horrors - West. The guy was ONLY convicted of sex crimes in 2008, shame nobody did shit about it then or since. I just wonder why.

[Scrivener7]

26. You've never watched Meidas Touch? To each their own, I guess.

But if you've chosen not to avail yourself of the information given, there's not much for us to talk about.

[muriel_volestrangler]

35. Meidas Touch does use the worst clickbait tactics for their videos

and the only person I've seen a bit of on it was a hysterical waste of time - a really poor presenter. There's plenty of places to get information from without sitting through an awful example of the decline of modern media style.

[Scrivener7]

36. Again, to each their own. Often they're where I first see reporting of the big stuff.

[flvegan]

43. Interesting.

I can either watch the video ("avail myself of the information given&quot , or be uninformed. Cool tactic, lol.

Look, if you're unable or uninterested in providing any information outside of ragebait clickety YouTube monetary nonsense, just say so.

Have a good day nonetheless.

[Scrivener7]

44. No. You can either watch the video, or go find the information from a source that's more to your liking.

If you don't want to click on it, then don't. There are no tactics here. I'm not fighting with you.

[NowsTheTime]

33. Look at 5:16 min mark in thev video of Huffines interview....see a big ditch with a big shovel

[poozwah]

20. question

can demolition be considered a synonym for coverup?

[ToxMarz]

23. Are they carting the evidence away or burying it deeper

Wouldn't be that hard to know the origination and destination of traffic going in and out. Any drone or satellite (or sherrif sitting on a public road) can do that.

[BidenRocks]

25. Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous!

That sounds so disgusting to me.
But then there are many who like the unreal Housewives shows.

Guess we'll find out what those "lifestyles" really were!

[Figarosmom]

27. "Childrens Christian Ranch"

That may as well be code for a child sex ranch.

Matt Gentz as in statutory rape Matt who will do anything for trump guy.

Yep, any bodies or evidence will be gone.

[calimary]

39. Absolutely sickening.

Horrifying!

[Exp]

28. If it is deemed a CRIME SCENE, it can't be touched. nt

[KPN]

41. See anybody stopping them?

[LiberalArkie]

31. WHY didn't WE investigate the ranch when WE had the power to do so? Because pedophilia crosses all classes.

Democratic, Reupublican, non voting, rich, poor, male, female, gay, straight.

And most pedophiles do not consider it wrong, that is why they really can not be cured.

[KPN]

40. Destroying evidence in plain sight. How far we have fallen as a nation of law and order ... not to mention equal rights

and justice for all. We are now officially a Banana Republic in my book.

[KPN]

42. Hope this gets picked up elsewhere across the nation. MSNBC, NBC? What are the chances?
