They All Knew and Did Nothing

[EarthFirst]

From Alisa Write -via Substack

How New Mexico's entire law enforcement hierarchy — from the governor to the sheriff — was compromised, conflicted, or bought off before a single investigation into Jeffrey Epstein ever opened.

1. This is an example of a something that happens all the time. People with power and/or money

are judged differently, if at all, by our justice system. It is wrong, but sadly happens everywhere and confirms my belief that women are second-class citizens in the US and in almost all patriarchical and authoritarian societies around the world. This is across the board in terms of political representation, wage equity, and bodily autonomy,

I believe that most of the problems of women's equality is rooted in religious beliefs. There is no equality in a structure built upon patriarchal values.

2. So, if I understand this correctly Deb Haaland

is also dirty? I'm sure I've given her money. I suffer from a form of racism that I totally trust Native Americans. Same with Mexican people. I hired and totally trusted a Mexican kid who sent out flyers that he did tree work. He didn't know what he was doing and I gave him $400.00. I paid him without inspecting the trees. They left immediately when I paid them. I didn't think they were finished, just taking a break. They drove off and he wouldn't answer my calls after that. I'm sort of a dumbass.
But back to Deb Haaland, does anyone from NM have any idea about her?

5. I think all of this happened prior to Deb Haaland getting involved in government.

And in any case, she was not involved with law enforcement, so wouldn't be involved with any investigations.
It's the good old boy network under Bill Richardson that was really involved in this.

Look at her Wikipedia entry.

3. This is specifically true with the County Sheriff and local police level.

A few local prosecutors were also involved, but at the state level for the longest time, Law Enforcement for that state was primarily focusing on illicit drug manufacturing and any opposition to the resource extraction leadership.
When Mom and Dad moved to Albuquerque for retirement in 2005, they were supposed to see how "stuck in the 1970's" the state was.
How much New Mexico reminded them of rural central California where districts and counties were basically run by wealthy facilitators or resource extractors, the money didn't stay in the counties, and Law Enforcement was more concerned with the political status quo than protecting and serving.
There are good people in New Mexico who are trying to clean up corruption and providing for an improved standard of living for the citizens of the state.
But there's also been decades and decades of out of state corporate ownership of land and resource extraction - oil, natural gas, uranium, asbestos, other minerals - bent keeping the locals poor and powerless.
I can easily see how a sleeze like Epstein could fly under the radar, especially if he recruited kids from other states instead of locally.

4. Governor Bill Richardson

seemed to be very involved with humanitarian causes. But he was mentioned in the epstein files.

7. I don't buy it. They were told to stand down by federal agencies.

The same federal agencies that have ran cover for Republicans plenty of times before.
