Epstein's ranch in New Mexico is now being looked at after new allegations.

Notice the man-made symbol in the yard. It almost looks like a crop circle.
Epstein was very interested in the Sciences, as shown in the videos I've shared. I wonder if he had a ley line on the property? It looks like it's on top of a mound with something in the middle. An earth-energy harnessing device?
The more that comes out about this man, the deeper the rabbit hole goes. I urge all of you again to listen to the videos by Amazing Polly if you haven't already.
Newly released article by Daily Mail show the flight logs for Epstein's private jet, the Lolita Express.
Quote:
Flight logs for Jeffrey Epstein's private plane dubbed the 'Lolita Express' were published for the first time on Thursday
They show that former President Bill Clinton boarded the plane with women believed to have been involved in creating underage sex slave ring
Alleged victim Virginia Roberts says she was recruited as a slave when she was 15, and that she was forced to have sex with both Prince Andrew and Harvard law profession Alan Dershowitz
The latter, she says, molested her mid-flight on the private jet
Both the Duke of York and Dershowitz have fiercely denied their involvement in the ring
Here is a closer look at Pedo/orgy Island. You will see the symbolism on the ground, like crop circles (just as he had at his NM ranch) and the mounds all around. Also, symbols on the ground around the temple.
The dome has been removed and the owls are gone. Reports said they were destroyed due to a hurricane, but how many hurricanes have passed near since this temple was built and it wasn't damaged? My guess is it was destroyed by the White Hats some time ago.

For those with power, prison is just a different hotel to stay in. It keeps the ignorant public believing
that justice is served on the Elite. Epstein walks a path far-different than most and those with vast
wealth make sure that path is unhindered.
But that was then...

Quote:'Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of girls was his 'full time job' with three or four victims every single day.
The pedophile employed staff whose sole job was to find women for him and book 'appointments' where he would
ask them for a massage which led to sex, a lawyer for the victims said.
Nobody, including associates and friends, could explain what else Epstein did with his time, said attorney Brad Edwards.
Mr. Edwards said that since Epstein was so brazen that he was having sex with young women in his office while on day
release from prison in 2008. Since Epstein was arrested earlier this month Edwards has spoken to five new victims who
were aged between 18 and 20 at the time Epstein abused them in New York after 2005.
Attorney Brad Edwards, Annie Farmer and Courtney Wild.
Edwards said that the total spread of Epstein's abuse ranged from at least 1994 - probably earlier - to 2011.
Epstein has been accused by prosecutors in New York of paying dozens of underage girls for sex, some as young as 14.
The indictment covers alleged abuse between 2002 and 2005 and prosecutors claim that Epstein paid the girls hundreds
of dollars if they recruited others to be abused. At a press conference in New York, Mr Edwards said that Epstein's abuse
was 'not an operation that was haphazard or recklessly done'.
He said: 'This is something where Jeffrey Epstein had at each of his homes employees, associates whose sole job was the
recruitment of high school children and vulnerable young adults. 'It appears on a daily basis it was his full time job.
'We have talked to ex-employees, friends associated, we've tried any different way to get information about what he did and
nobody seemed to know'.
Mr Edwards said that he was not aware of any underage victims after 2007 but the victims between then and 2011 were
teenagers, or close to. He said that they were still problematic as Epstein would have coerced them into sex.
Epstein was jailed for 13 months in 2008 under a sweat heart plea deal with Florida prosecutors but he was allowed out for
six days a week to work in his office.
Mr Edwards said that during those days Epstein 'was able to have visitors that were under the age of 21'.
He said: 'One who visited him was that it was not for some business arrangement and it was for if you're in jail improper sexual
contact. 'They believed were going there for something other than a sexual purpose and surprisingly to them this situation turned
sexual'.
Also speaking was Courtney Wild one of Epstein's accusers who said that he had sex with her at his mansion in Palm Beach,
Florida, when she was 14. She criticized Florida prosecutors for giving him a 'free pass' in 2008 and said that her 'voice was
muted by the same government that was supposed to protect me'.
She said: This is no surprise that Jeffrey Epstein was also sexually abusing girls in New York, he did it everywhere.
As long as the victims speak up he isn't going to get away this time. 'If you have not come forward, the time is now
'Many would rather pretend this didn't happen but it did happen and it will continue to happen...he will never stop sexually
abusing children until he is in jail. We will not get justice until you speak out'.
Wild has been one of the most prominent accusers against Epstein and featured in a Miami Herald story last December which
brought his case back into the public eye. She was a middle school student and cheerleading captain when she met Epstein.
But after the alleged abuse she became addicted to drugs and served three years in jail on drugs offenses.
During Epstein's bail hearing on Monday Wild spoke to the court and said that he should be remanded in custody before trial
because he is a 'scary guy to be walking the streets'. Annie Farmer, another alleged victim, also spoke and said that the claim
by Epstein's lawyers that he had exhibited 'discipline' in recent years by not reoffending was ridiculous.
Farmer said that the fact the FBI found pictures of underage girls in a safe in Epstein's $77m New York mansion when they raided
it earlier this month showed the 'opposite' of discipline. Also in the safe were dozens of diamonds, piles of cash and an expired
Saudi Arabian passport issued in 1980 with Epstein's photo but somebody else's name, it is alleged.
Epstein has denied two counts of sex trafficking and faces 45 years behind bars if convicted.
He has already served 13 months in jail in 2008 for admitting one count of procuring a minor for prostitution under a sweetheart
non prosecution agreement which has recently come under intense scrutiny.
Judge Richard Berman at Manhattan's Criminal Court will decide later this week if Epstein will get bail.
At the latest hearing Assistant US Attorney Alex Rossmiller said their case was 'getting stronger and stronger by the day'.
During Epstein's bail hearing Monday, Wild and Annie Farmer both detailed how they continue to struggle more than a decade
after Epstein allegedly forced the two to perform rape acts on him or themselves when they were underage.
Epstein made no comments as the women delivered their remarks, and instead stared them down the entire time with a stern
look on his face.
The billionaire pedophile will now learn on Thursday whether he will be released ahead of his trial on federal sex trafficking charges
or ordered to remain behind bars. It was revealed during the proceedings on Monday that Epstein was discovered to have diamonds,
artwork and piles of cash throughout his Manhattan mansion, as well as an official passport with an assumed name that was issued
by a foreign government.
DailyMail.com can now report that the passport was issued by Saudi Arabia...'
As stated previously, Bill Clinton denies being friends with Jeffrey Epstein, but this article from Daily Beast begs to differ.
Quote:A Daily Beast investigation has uncovered ties between Epstein and the Clinton administration that date back to the president’s earliest days in the White House.

Days after Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest on sex-trafficking charges in New York, Bill Clinton distanced himself from the high-flying financier and convicted sex offender. The former president owned up to just six encounters with Epstein, starting in 2002: Four flights on the billionaire’s private jet, a single trip to his Harlem office, and one “brief visit” to his New York apartment, all with staff and security detail in tow.
Now, a Daily Beast investigation has uncovered ties between Epstein and the Clinton administration that date back to the president’s earliest days in the White House, casting doubt on the oft-circulated narrative that the two only began associating after Clinton left office.
As early as 1993, records show, Epstein donated $10,000 to the White House Historical Association and attended a donors’ reception hosted by Bill and Hillary Clinton. Around the same time, according to a source familiar with the connection, Epstein visited presidential aide Mark Middleton several times at The White House. Two years later, businesswoman Lynn Forester de Rothschild wrote a personal letter to Clinton thanking him for their talk about the financier.
“President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York,” Clinton’s spokesperson, Angel Ureña, told The Daily Beast. “Any suggestion to the contrary, is both factually inaccurate and irresponsible.”
Representatives for Epstein, de Rothschild and Middleton did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
Is he trying to get a transfer to a different facility, or maybe even to a psych doctor outside the institution?
If they allow him to leave, you know "someone" is going to be waiting to either help him escape, or take him out of the equation.
I do hope the people in charge know not to allow him to manipulate them by staging a fake suicide attempt.
Quote:Accused pedophile and wealthy Manhattan financier Jeffrey Epstein was found injured and in a fetal position inside his cell at a New York City jail, according to sources close to the investigation.
Epstein, who is being held in Metropolitan Correctional Center during his trial for conspiracy and sex trafficking, was found semi-conscious with marks on his neck, two sources told News 4. Investigators are trying to piece together exactly what happened, saying details remain murky.
Two sources tell News 4 that Epstein may have tried to hang himself, while a third source cautioned that the injuries were not serious and questioned if Epstein might be using it as a way to get a transfer.
A fourth source said an assault has not been ruled out, and that another inmate was questioned. The inmate who investigators have talked to in Lower Manhattan facility has been identified as Nicholas Tartaglione, according to two sources. Tartaglione is a former police officer in Westchester County who was arrested in December 2016 and accused of killing four men in an alleged cocaine distribution conspiracy, then burying their bodies in his yard in Otisville in Orange County, according to court records.
Sources told News 4 investigators questioned Tartaglione, and the former cop claimed not to have seen anything and insisted he did not touch Epstein, sources said.
The attorney for Tartaglione denied all the claims that his client attacked the financier, saying his client and Epstein get along well. The attorney added Epstein was seen today and appears to be fine.
"They are in the same unit and doing well," said Bruce Barket, an attorney for Tartaglione. He said any claim that Tartaglione might have assaulted Epstein "is absolutely not true."
Barket said Tartaglione and Epstein have been complaining about conditions inside the MCC including flooding, rodents and bad food.
Epstein is now on suicide watch inside MCC, according to two sources. Attorneys for Epstein did not immediately return calls for comment.
A spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons did not return calls and spokesmen for the U.S. Marshals and U.S. Attorney's office declined to comment.

Jeffrey Epstein Hoped to Seed Human Race With His DNA
Really?
The rabbit hole deepens!
Quote:
Over the years, Jeffrey E. Epstein surrounded himself with many prominent scientists, including several affiliated with Harvard.CreditCreditRick Friedman/Corbis, via Getty Images
Jeffrey E. Epstein, the wealthy financier who is accused of sex trafficking, had an unusual dream: He hoped to seed the human race with his DNA by impregnating women at his vast New Mexico ranch.
Mr. Epstein over the years confided to scientists and others about his scheme, according to four people familiar with his thinking, although there is no evidence that it ever came to fruition.
Mr. Epstein’s vision reflected his longstanding fascination with what has become known as transhumanism: the science of improving the human population through technologies like genetic engineering and artificial intelligence. Critics have likened transhumanism to a modern-day version of eugenics, the discredited field of improving the human race through controlled breeding.
(Highlights mine)
C'mon Jeff! You need to raise your opinion of yourself! (sarcasm)
Quote:Interviews with more than a dozen of his acquaintances, as well as public documents, show that he used the same tactics to insinuate himself into an elite scientific community, thus allowing him to pursue his interests in eugenics and other fringe fields like cryonics.
Lawyers for Mr. Epstein, who has pleaded not guilty to the sex-trafficking charges, did not respond to requests for comment.
Mr. Epstein attracted a glittering array of prominent scientists. They included the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Murray Gell-Mann, who discovered the quark; the theoretical physicist and best-selling author Stephen Hawking; the paleontologist and evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould; Oliver Sacks, the neurologist and best-selling author; George M. Church, a molecular engineer who has worked to identify genes that could be altered to create superior humans; and the M.I.T. theoretical physicist Frank Wilczek, a Nobel laureate.

Notice the labyrinth on his property. Was he also into studying earth energies?
He wanted to "seed the human race". Wow! I think my mind is blown; I really don't know how to comment on this.
Umm... Kappy needed to work on his singing abilities, but that's not the point. He names names in this "song", and he was in a position to know because he ran with this crowd.
He turned whistle-blower before he "committed suicide". I still have questions as to whether it was him who hit the pavement, but I think this is one of those things we will never get the answer to with proof without a doubt.
Anyway, I hope you can understand what he's saying. The video seems to be bad quality too.
Yes, he had mental problems. That comes with the territory when you experience the kind of child abuse he did, just like so many others in Hollywood or the music industry.
Quote:Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has quite a network in St. Thomas, VI, from a tax attorney setting up a microwave radio transmission for private comms to Little St. James Island, to owning 50% of a marina with billionaire Andrew Farkas, to a group of fascinating and well-connected ladies on the board of an elite private school that sits on 27-acres where Epstein’s attorney was one of the first students. Coincidentally, many of these individuals have direct ties to former President Bill Clinton and the Clinton Global Initiative, in addition to corrupt former Governor of the Virgin Islands, John de Jongh and his wife Cecile. In fact, a big corruption investigation from years back tie some of these folks together.
• Many of Epstein’s business addresses in Red Hook Quarter St. Thomas, where his 50% ownership in American Yacht Harbor resides, go to the marina – dock B, slip 3. Coincidentally, so does a CPA’s who setup his private comms to Little Saint James.
• This network has tales of past corruption running up through legislators, a Clinton appointee, an Obama campaign bundler, and the former Governor of the Virgin Islands.
• There is an elite preparatory school that resides on 27-acres that is likely a grooming school for high-level positions, and some of the board members have ties to Jeffrey Epstein and the Clintons. Epstein’s attorney Paul Hoffman was one of the original 13 students.

Quote:Jeffrey Epstein's alleged sex trafficking victim named Bill Richardson, George Mitchell in newly released documents
Yup and guess which Political Party they belong to?
Quote:A woman who has long claimed disgraced money man Jeffrey Epstein forced her to have sex with powerful men named two prominent Democratic politicians - former Sen. George Mitchell and ex-New Mexico governor and Clinton cabinet official Bill Richardson - in documents unsealed Friday by federal prosecutors in New York.
Friday's revelations came from more than 2,000 documents that were unsealed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. The papers included affidavits and depositions of key witnesses in a lawsuit the now-33-year-old woman, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, filed against Epstein and his associate, Ghislane Maxwell in 2015. Giuffre accused the duo of keeping her as a “sex slave” in the early 2000s when she was underage.

Epstein is singing alright and considering the vast financial groups that are involved -not necessarily the underage
girls situation, his time on this planet will dwindle quickly.
Quote:Real Estate Tycoon Andrew Farkas, Deutsche Bank The Latest To Be Caught Up In Jeffrey Epstein Scandal.
'No one wants to be associated with Jeffrey Epstein right now, but as legal proceedings continue against him,
more of his connections are coming to light.
Epstein & Farkas.
In May 2007, Epstein entered a joint venture agreement for ownership of a small marina on St. Thomas in the
U.S. Virgin Islands -a short boat ride from Epstein's private island Little St. James -with Island Capital Group
founder and CEO Andrew Farkas, Bloomberg reports.
Farkas renovated the marina to accommodate luxury yachts through his company Island Global Yachting.
At that point, Epstein had already been arrested over activities at his Palm Beach mansion in the case that
would result in him registering as a sex offender, serving 13 months in a state penitentiary over prostitution
charges and signing a Non-Prosecution Agreement precluding the possibility of more federal charges in 2008,
Bloomberg reports.
The NPA, brokered by former U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, was nullified this February by a federal judge
because Epstein's victims were not notified of the deal. Acosta recently resigned as Secretary of Labor over
the controversy surrounding the NPA.
Farkas, who reportedly sits on the board of at least six companies, was one of the earliest investors into
commercial real estate listing platform Cadre, co-founded by Jared Kushner. Farkas' connection to Kushner
and willingness to do business with Epstein even after allegations of sex with underage victims had surfaced
are both shared by German investment giant Deutsche Bank AG, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Epstein and Deutsche Bank began a financial relationship in 2013 when his longtime bank, JPMorgan Chase,
severed ties with him due to concerns over his reputation, the WSJ reports.
The relationship with Deutsche continued, and deepened, until the Miami Herald published its investigation into
Epstein's activities and deal with Acosta in October. At that point, Deutsche Bank began the process of shutting
down Epstein's accounts, only to discover that he had dozens of them set up through various intermediaries,
some of which seemed to serve the purpose of moving money overseas, the New York Times reports.
The issue of Epstein's complex finances was compounded by an antiquated record-keeping system that made
it difficult for anybody at Deutsche Bank to gain a full picture of its relationship with Epstein.
Compliance officers at the bank based in New York and Jacksonville, Florida, raised multiple concerns in 2015
and 2016 that Epstein may be laundering money through Deutsche Bank, according to the Times.
Deutsche Bank did not take any action at the time, and only in June did it complete the process of closing out
Epstein's accounts.
Deutsche Bank's reputation has taken hit after hit in recent years as it has been connected to money laundering
investigations involving The Trump Organization, the Panama Papers, Kushner Cos. and others.
Since 2012, the bank has reportedly lost 95% of its market value, a spiral that has led to the planned layoffs of
up to 20,000 jobs and a smaller-than-anticipated new headquarters in New York. Its plans for a new London office
have not been affected so far...'
Quote:Deutsche Bank and Wall Street banks reportedly just gave Congress thousands of documents related to Russians with possible ties to Trump.
*Six banks including Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan Chase, and Morgan Stanley, have been providing
Congressional committees thousands of documents related to an investigation into Trump's Russia
ties, according to the Wall Street Journal.
*The investigation is reportedly looking into whether there was potential foreign influence on Trump
and his family.
*In April, it was reported that the President, his children, the Trump Organization, and the Trump family
trust filed a lawsuit against Deutsche Bank and Capital One to bar them from complying with
congressional subpoenas.
'Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, and Wells Fargo have
been giving thousands of documents to congressional committees investigating whether Trump had links
to Russia, according to The Wall Street Journal, which cited people familiar with congressional probes.
The Journal also said that some banks were giving documents related to the President's own business,
the Trump Organization, to New York state investigators. Investigators for the House Financial Services
Committee and the House Intelligence Committee are reportedly working on a joint probe into whether
there was potential foreign influence on Trump and his family.
The Journal said that more information will likely be handed over in coming weeks as the banks respond
to subpoenas sent in April. Trump has reportedly received around $2 billion in loans from Deutsche Bank
over two decades.
The Financial Times reported that the German Bank and Trump have had a complicated relationship,
suing one another in 2008 over loans to build Trump International Hotel & Tower in downtown Chicago.
In April, it was reported that President Donald Trump, his children, the Trump Organization, and the Trump
family trust filed a lawsuit against Deutsche Bank and Capital One to bar them from complying with
congressional subpoenas.
Trump's lawsuit, according to The New York Times in April, claims the subpoenas "have no legitimate or
lawful purpose" and were issued to "harass" him and "to rummage through every aspect of his personal
finances, his businesses, and the private information of the President and his family, and to ferret about
for any material that might be used to cause him political damage."
Since then Deutsche Bank, Trump's primary bank, according to the Journal, has turned over emails, loan
agreements, and other documents related to the Trump Organization office of New York Attorney General
Letitia James, in response to a civil subpoena sent earlier this year.
According to the Journal, the congressional and state investigations are looking for different types of
information. The congressional probe, which is reportedly being contested in court, is looking at a wide
range of financial documents from the Trump family.
The state investigation comparatively, is looking at loans to the Trump Organization, according to people
familiar with the New York investigation, the Journal wrote...'

If WE could see it, I don't understand why everyone in congress couldn't. I don't know why they are calling for investigations into the matter after the horse has already left the barn. Politicians is funny thataway.
I mean, seriously, it doesn't take a Rocket Surgeon to figure out ahead of time what Epstein's trajectory was likely to be. Then again, the US Congress is not exactly filled with Rocket Surgeons...
We could start a reality show, lower the bar from what it currently is, and title it "Are You Smarter Than A Congress Critter?"
