BLOGGER REMOVES DEMOCRACY LABS BECAUSE THEY MAINTAIN THAT IT
VIOLATES COMMUNITY STANDARD.....SO CENSOR INFORMATION AND REVELATIONS
ABOUT AN INTERNATIONAL CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING ORGANIZATION THAT'S
BEING PROTECTED BY THE DOJ AND FBI IS REASONABLE?
DEMOCRACY LABS and others have done a stellar job reporting the EPSTEIN FILES and new revelations.
There was an FBI STAND DOWN ORDER that needs to be fully addressed!
It prevented NYC from investigating EPSTEIN and also CALLED OFF THE NEW MEXICO investigation of the ZORRO RANCH were it was reported that DEAD BODIES are buried.
There was also a DEA DRUG INVESTIGATION of Epstein and others that was never reported.
WHY? What was EPSTEIN et al doing? Why was it covered up? And by WHOM?
Just when you thought this was an INTERNATIONAL CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING OPERATION that required cooperation from numerous international government officials, revelarions reveal that it was far greater.
Other nations are investigating officials, UK has arrested 2, WHERE ARE THE BRAIN DEAD AG PAM BONDI & BEER CHUGGING INCOMPETENT BOOB KASH PATEL?
Before this became such a public issue, there was a report several years ago about a CHILD who died and her body dumped in a river. I don't recall the details - but surely there is more.
HOWARD LUTNICK LIED AND SHOULD RESIGN!
ULTRAVIOLENT is trying to get an LA OLYMPIC CHAIR fired because he's an EPSTEIN ENABLER - no evidence of crimes, just a MORAL ISSUE.
WE should do similar!
The FBI cleaned out EPSTEIN's ISLAND & APARTMENT - WHERE IS THAT INFORMATION?
This is a MASSIVE COVER-UP that needs to be made PUBLIC!
BANKS PARTICIPATED. THEY KNEW!
HOWARD LUTNICK LIED ABOUT EPSTEIN!
Initially claimed he saw Epstein's apartment and avoided him - NOT SO!
Reports indicate that LUTNICK had business with EPSTEIN, visited EPSTEIN'S ISLAND
HOIWARD LUTNICK NEEDS TO RESIGN!

Lord Peter Mandelson — one of the most powerful figures in British political history — was arrested today at his London home, led out in handcuffs by plainclothes police officers. The charge: misconduct in public office for allegedly leaking sensitive government documents to Jeffrey Epstein while serving as Gordon Brown’s business secretary. Police raided his mansion near Regent’s Park and a second property in Wiltshire. Files show Mandelson shared EU bailout plans, Brown’s resignation details, and government property sales with Epstein, who allegedly sent him £56,000 in return. This comes four days after Prince Andrew was arrested on the same charge for leaking confidential information while serving as Britain’s trade envoy. “It’s massive that we’ve had Prince Andrew and now Lord Mandelson,” Zev said. “This is happening with the permission of the crown. It should terrify everyone involved in this network, especially Donald Trump.” Dean pointed out that Mandelson is reportedly ready to start telling investigators who he was working with. “Two for the UK, zero for the United States,” Dean said. “The walls are closing in — in London. The question is when it reaches Washington.” Tomorrow night, at least 10 Epstein survivors will sit in the Capitol gallery as Trump delivers the State of the Union.
Mandelson Arrested for Epstein Leaks
Returning to the top story, Zev laid out the deeper significance. Mandelson’s arrest connects to a web that includes the Rothschild banking family, Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, and the broader Epstein intelligence operation. Mandelson was found on Deripaska’s yacht in Corfu with Nate Rothschild years ago — and now those same connections run through the Epstein files. “Peter Mandelson was pulled out of the United States because he is so guilty of working with a pedophile network,” Dean said. Zev noted that 17 or 18 countries have now launched independent Epstein investigations. “The Epstein network is being dismantled in real time — in London,” Zev said. “The question Americans should be asking: when does it reach Washington?”
ALSO FROM NARATIV:
FBI ORDERED NYPD TO “STAND DOWN”
MY NOTE: ZORRO RANCH IN NEW MEXICO IS WHERE IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THAT BODIES ARE BURIED!
Ryan Goodman at Just Security unearthed documents showing that five days after Epstein’s July 2019 arrest, the FBI directed NYPD’s Special Victims Unit to halt all Epstein investigations. The email is explicit: “SVU has been directed to stand down and that all Epstein stuff needs to go to and through us.” New York was the epicenter of Epstein’s crimes. The FBI shut down the investigators best positioned to reach co-conspirators. New Mexico’s attorney general also revealed his state’s probe was closed in 2019 at the same request. This wasn’t negligence. It was coordination.
SECRET DEA DRUG PROBE EXPOSED
CBS News revealed a previously unknown five-year DEA investigation targeting Epstein and 14 others for suspicious wire transfers tied to drug trafficking and prostitution. The 69-page memo documents $50 million in suspicious transactions across the Virgin Islands, New York, Switzerland, France, and the Cayman Islands. The prosecutors who eventually arrested Epstein didn’t even know this probe existed.
EPSTEIN CONSPIRATOR ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
Former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland was hospitalized after a suicide attempt, his lawyer confirmed. Jagland was charged with aggravated corruption on February 12 after Epstein files revealed he served as Epstein’s conduit to Putin. Europe is prosecuting. America is hiding files.
FRANCE BANS KUSHNER
France banned U.S. Ambassador Charles Kushner from meeting government officials after he refused a diplomatic summons. Twice. Trump’s ambassador to one of America’s oldest allies is now persona non grata in Paris.

This one’s open, so feel free to share it anywhere. Quick boost that really helps: ♥ + Restack + a short comment.
February 15, 2026
For four years after Jeffrey Epstein died in federal custody in August 2019, his 8,000-acre New Mexico compound sat in legal limbo.
No public confirmation of a full forensic excavation.
No transparent accounting of what was searched, what was seized, or what was left untouched.
No public closure for survivors who testified that abuse occurred there.
The property — known as Zorro Ranch — remained under Epstein’s estate.
Then in 2023, it quietly sold for roughly $12 million.
The buyer was hidden behind a newly created LLC.
Anonymous.
Until the Santa Fe New Mexican revealed the names behind the shell: Don and Mary Huffines, who son works in the Trump Regime.
And that’s when this stopped being a real estate transaction.
Zorro Ranch wasn’t incidental to Epstein’s network.
Victims testified that abuse occurred there.
Flight records placed powerful individuals in New Mexico.
A temple-like structure sat prominently on the grounds.
The property was isolated, vast, and private.
Yet after Epstein’s arrest in July 2019 and his death weeks later, there has never been public documentation of a comprehensive excavation or forensic ground search of the ranch.
The public does not know:
Whether cadaver dogs were used.
Whether soil disturbances were analyzed.
Whether any sealed records remain tied to that land.
That absence matters.
Because once a property changes hands, history becomes harder to access.
Epstein is arrested on federal sex trafficking charges.
His properties, including Zorro Ranch, become central to investigations.
August 10, 2019 — Epstein dies in federal custody.
Zorro Ranch remains under Epstein’s estate control.
Legal wrangling unfolds.
Civil settlements with victims proceed.
No publicly detailed forensic accounting of the ranch is released.
Zorro Ranch sells for approximately $12 million.
The buyer: a limited liability company formed weeks prior to the purchase.
Ownership concealed.
The Santa Fe New Mexican identifies the owners as Don and Mary Huffines.
The ranch is renamed: San Rafael Ranch.
The political dimension enters the frame.
Don Huffines is:
A former Texas state senator
A wealthy Dallas real estate developer
A MAGA-aligned Republican
A current candidate for Texas Comptroller
Public records show Huffines and his wife, Mary, are active political donors and high-visibility conservative activists with very close toes to Netanyahu and Putin
 |
They have:
Donated to Donald Trump
Appeared at events connected to Benjamin Netanyahu
Expressed strong pro-Israel/Pro-Russia positions publicly
Maintained membership ties to Mar-a-Lago
One of their sons has worked in the Trump administration.
That’s not speculation. That’s documented political proximity.
 |
|
This is where optics become unavoidable.
Don Huffines
Texas Republican officeholder
Major conservative donor
Public Trump supporter
Trump Network
Trump has a longstanding documented social association with Epstein in the 1990s and early 2000s (publicly acknowledged before their fallout).
Mar-a-Lago appears repeatedly in reporting tied to Epstein’s social circle.
Israel Advocacy
Huffines has publicly emphasized strong support for Israel.
Political fundraising appearances and documented support structures align him with pro-Israel political advocacy networks.
Long Stated Support for Putin/Russia
What is factual is that Epstein cultivated elite international relationships across political and financial sectors, was deeply involved and embedded with Russia, Netanyahu/Israel and Trump.
And what is factual is that the ranch now belongs to a politically ambitious family embedded in Trump-world and that there are several verified records of bodies of “foreign girls” burried around Zorro Ranch where the most notorious and violent (alleged) abuser, Ehud Barak visited dozens of times.
The LLC that purchased Zorro Ranch was formed shortly before the acquisition and is regeistered in Mary Huffines name.
 |
That is legal.
That is common in high-value real estate deals.
But when the property in question is one of the most infamous crime-linked estates in modern American history, anonymity raises questions.
Why shield ownership?
Why not announce it?
Why rename it quietly?
Again — no accusation of wrongdoing.
But transparency matters when the land carries this history especally when the Huffines have denied several requests to search the 8k acre estate for human remains with lidar and cadaver dogs.

Saint Raphael, in Christian tradition, is associated with:
Guidance
Healing
Protection during journeys
Restoration
It may be purely symbolic.
It may be branding.
It may mean nothing.
But symbolism matters in politics.
Especially when a candidate for statewide office purchases one of the most controversial properties in the country and immediately rebrands it.
This is the core.
Not who bought it.
But what was done before they did.
Was Zorro Ranch fully searched?
Were excavation warrants sought?
Were sealed findings presented to courts?
If nothing was found, transparency would quiet speculation.
If searches were conducted thoroughly, documentation would strengthen institutional trust.
Instead, silence.
Don Huffines is not a private citizen quietly flipping ranch land.
He is running for Texas Comptroller.
That’s a statewide office overseeing billions in public funds.
Voters deserve clarity.
Not conspiracy.
Not wild speculation.
Clarity.
The purchase ties:
The most notorious sex trafficking property in America
A MAGA political figure
Trump orbit proximity
Israel advocacy visibility
A shell LLC purchase structure
Even if there is no wrongdoing, the optics are combustible.
And in politics, optics are reality. That reality looks like the Huffines family
Not:
“Did the Huffines family commit crimes?”
There is no evidence they did.
But:
Why was the public never given a complete accounting of what occurred on that land?
Why did the estate control it for years without transparent reporting?
Why did federal authorities never publicly confirm a comprehensive forensic review?
And why does one of the most politically networked conservative families in Texas now own it and why do they keep rebuffing attempts to search the property?
Those questions are legitimate (we already know the answers).
They are governance questions.
They are institutional trust questions.
They are not conspiracy theories.
Zorro Ranch is no longer Zorro Ranch.
It’s San Rafael Ranch.
New name.
New ownership.
Same history.
The land doesn’t forget.
And neither will we.

COMMENTS:
AOC did an excellent job of explaining the connection between the Epstein files and the evil rich and powerful in her conversation last night at the Technical University of Berlin in front of an audience of over 1000 students on her way back from the Munich Security Conference. What she is saying makes so much sense, and is sickening to think about. I wrote a piece about her talk with a link to the recording of this historic talk.
https://lindaweide.substack.com/p/aoc-had-a-berlin-audience-eating?r=f0qfn
She also told us that Bondi should retire or be fired (aka) impeached.
Isn't that what Kash Patel's Dept should be doing?
Jeff was running European COSTAL DEL SEL along the Mediterranean coastline in every town, everyone the guys go there from the US and Canada, it's not a secret, . They have young women from Brazil Colombia making money to send home to their family at home, these are Clubs for guy who sex club like they have in Marbella Spain 100 small rooms; he has OCD and of course sex addiction, Jeff copied them for fiends, especially the creepy insecure Jewish ones for their money Yaw think! He is Like he steals lies and cheats; Trump copied him at Mara Lago; He is in on this Guity and sinful. little girls got caught up because the money was great, the billionaires supported him, and all trumps cabinmate are in on it, they know now you, know, ok that's it Ellie got Zorro Ranch right, she deserves credit, I know because I lived in Spain where this comes from!
Is anyone in NM being told this (via local media? or any media)?
Is the reported 'temple' a temple? what denomination? is it a crematorium?
Has the 'ranch' been leased to any foreign entity, e.g. Israel? Is it being prepared to serve as a slave-labor & detention camp?
Is it being prepped as an Aryan Baby Farm (look up Nazi Baby Farms). Will it have a cosmetic surgery unit for Preparation for Service in the DrumpfenReich?
Has anyone in Fla filed suit, for a grounds dig at Mar-a-Gogo Golf? Ditto, the Donnie Greens in NJ, etc.? Oh and hey Scotland, search those 2 Drumpf Links!
the NM state House wants to establish a Truth Commission to investigate the ranch.
and if it takes a warrant to search it, so be it.
I can hear FOX Noise now, just not sure which of the clowns will be the one to spew "there's nothing to see here. It's just another hoax by the Democrats who are determined to take down our President Trump."
Finally, some information. Be sure to read the submission by Dragonfly below. It answers a few questions and suggests the state of NM is carrying out an investigation.
Oh wow. A few seconds after posting my comment below, I spotted an article in the WaPo. My little comment includes a whimsical speculation on Trumpist Aryan Baby Farms in NM.
WaPo reports -- enthusiastically -- that a county jail in Maryland has now begun Christian baptism on its premises, inside the prison. A baptism is 'accceptance INTO the Church body'.
This is a jailhouse incarcerating both male convicts serving less than 18 months, or men who are _awaiting trial and/or sentencing_. The baptisms are being done by an entity called Moving Forward Ministries. Here's a verbatim of the benediction: "“We will now baptize you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins,” said [ a pastor] “And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
It takes a full story's length before the story reveals the Big Point: it's an evangelical recruitment force inside a short-term incarceration unit. With men 'awaiting trail and sentence'.
While voluntary attendance at prayer services of any religion is a basic civil right for detainees, a Prison is a place where by definition, a prisoner has 'attenuated liberty' and 'curbed free will'. Just like a minor child. A prisoner in solitary confinement won't go to be baptized or even preached at.
The prisoner is therefore vulnerable and can be induced to commit to things he wouldn't have otherwise committed to do. This whole thing is a travesty of secular law and order in a jailhouse. No?
Question: who was in charge of the Epstein estate? Was it a group of lawyers? JE’s brother, Mark(?)? Maybe there are records somewhere in NM govt about this? Lots of states have rules when selling a property.
If there is evidence of a crime, doesn't the owner have to allow investigation? Unfortunately, there is no proof of the crimes there, only the suspicion. We need someone to come forward who can prove what happened there. Was it all lost or buried? Can't drones with special equipment that finds burial of human remains fly over? When my best friend was murdered over 50 years ago they used helicopters with some form of cameras that could detect where remains could be from the change in temperature in the area. I don't know much about this, but if they had technology like that 50 years ago they have to have something much more sensitive now that could do that. Just a thought.
I think we will have to wait until this whole cabal is out of office before anything pertaining to Epstein gets thoroughly investigated…unfortunately for the victims.
(Gomer Pyle voice) "Well, surprise, surprise, surprise!
Yet another thing we need to work on; getting rid of these shell company set-up shenanigans!
https://trackbill.com/bill/new-mexico-house-resolution-1-house-investagatory-subcommittee/2790230/
"Zorro ranch" was the name of a private estate located in Santa Fe county consisting of approximately ten thousand acres of real property, which included public land leaseholds;" Question: if there were public land leaseholds, couldn't that leasehold be revoked, as it is public land that could possibly be the site of illegal activity? Does Santa Fe County still hold those leases?
It would seem that although the Huffines may not have been involved in any crimes that might have occurred at Zorro, they may however, be attempting to cover that up for their leader, Trump et al.
This is info at least questioning the history of ranches involvement with the EPSTEIN saga needs to get into the public sphere so that more people know about it and that public pressure on the owner might produce positive results(searching property) for the survivor.
When you're as STUPID as TRUMP, you appoint LAP DOGS like incompetent BOOB KASH PATEL who is using government jets to visit a GIRLFRIEND because he's DESPARATE!
TRUMP appointed an inexperienced BOOB like so many others who claimed there waas NO EVIDENCE that EPSTEIN TRAFFICKED 'YOUNG WOMEN TO OTHERS' - it was PUBLIC INFORMATION!
Where was BRAINLESS BOOB Kash Patel?
Kash Patel Says No ‘Credible’ Info Epstein Trafficked Young Women to Others
