Massie Reveals Why Epstein Co-Conspirators Enjoy ‘Diplomatic Immunity’ in America

Rep. Thomas Massie bluntly questioned why powerful figures tied to Jeffrey Epstein appear to enjoy “diplomatic immunity” in the United States while warning that comfortable lies continue to shield accountability on everything from Jan. 6 to the sprawling federal deficit.

In a wide-ranging interview recorded with The Gateway Pundit days before his election, the Kentucky Republican pulled back the curtain on the forces he says have blocked real transparency and prosecutions, even as voters in his deep-red district head to the polls Tuesday in what has become one of the most expensive and bitter Republican primaries in history.

“It’s almost like you have diplomatic immunity if you’re an Epstein co-conspirator in this country, but step into Great Britain, step into Norway, step into France, and you’ll get arrested, indicted, or investigated in America,” Massie said.

Massie pointed to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick as a particular red flag.

“We saw Howard Lutnick went to Epstein Island— that guy behind Trump on the airplane when you see him, the guy whispering in his ear behind the Oval Office—was going to Epstein Island and lying to us about having never done anything with Jeffrey Epstein since he visited long ago. That should be a major red flag,” he said.

Our Own Cognitive Dissonance Is Concealing the Epstein Network

“I saw also that there was an ocean of darkness and death, but an infinite ocean of light and love, which flowed over the ocean of darkness.”- George Fox, Journal (1647)

While war chaos and carnage in the Middle East distract the American public from Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex crimes and those of his unindicted co-conspirators—exposed by the government’s release of millions of pages of documents, photos, and emails under the Epstein Files Transparency Act—many remain steadfast in their focus on truth and justice for survivors and accountability for perpetrators. “We are not a ‘hoax,’” asserted survivors in a November 2025 letter to Congress after President Donald Trump said the push to release the files was “a Democrat hoax.”

Among those committed to shining light on this crime network are Nick Bryant of Epstein Justice, along with many tenacious writers and reporters, especially young ones at college newspapers, and hundreds of victims who continue to speak out.

In his recent webinar, investigative journalist Nick Bryant defined the cognitive dissonance which is blocking further public scrutiny. It is “discomfort with conflicting beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors which causes mental tension, leading to efforts to reduce the inconsistency by changing attitudes, justifying actions, or ignoring new and contradictory information.”

Distract and minimize, confuse and deny, justify and excuse, become angry or enraged, and call crazy those who speak what others do not want to see or hear. In the throes of cognitive dissonance, people resort to all these ploys to relieve their internal discomfort. These horrible events could not possibly be true; the abuse could not possibly have been this widespread, some insist. Governments could not possibly have covered up this sex criminal’s harms, over decades, regardless of which political party was in power while people investigating are connected to those being investigated, as reported by Whitney Webb.

Jeffrey Epstein was arrested and charged July 9, 2019 with sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors. He was imprisoned and then died in prison before trial. In 2008, he had plead guilty to solicitation of a minor for prostitution and went to jail for thirteen months before continuing his crimes for years. Underage girls and their families reported Epstein’s crimes to Florida law enforcement previously, but the federal government ordered them to stop investigating, according to reports from Chicago-based criminal defense attorney Leonard Goodman and others. Files recently made public show that Epstein was connected to rich, powerful people all over the world.

Before the White House started this disastrous war with Iran, every major media outlet reported on this sex criminal’s connections, with tentacles extending to all parts of society: academia, government, business, sports, entertainment, the medical industry, technology.

Around 10 ‘new’ victims come forward in France’s Epstein probe, prosecutor says

Around 10 “new” suspected victims have come forward in a French probe into the network of late US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a prosecutor said on May 17.

France opened a human trafficking investigation after the US Justice Department in January released the latest cache of files from the investigation into the disgraced financier, who died in prison in 2019 while facing charges of trafficking underage girls for sex.

French magistrates are seeking to investigate possible offences committed in France or involving French perpetrators who facilitated his crimes.

Top Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said around 20 suspected victims had made themselves known after she in February urged potential victims to speak up.

Some were already known to investigators, she told the RTL broadcaster.

“But we also had new victims come forward, ones we didn’t know at all. There are around 10 of them,” she added.

“The choice we’ve made for the time being is to listen to these victims,” she said.

Jeffrey Epstein ‘Suicide Note’ Emerges

A federal judge on Wednesday unsealed a purported suicide note attributed to Jeffrey Epstein, written before his first reported incident in July 2019 and discovered by his then-cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, tucked inside a graphic novel. The undated, unsigned document – released as part of Tartaglione’s unrelated criminal case docket – contains lines such as “They investigated me for month – found NOTHING!!!” and references to saying goodbye. It has been kept under seal for nearly seven years.

The note’s release comes amid a flood of Epstein-related document dumps in 2025–2026, yet it does little to quiet the persistent, deeply unsettling questions about how Epstein actually died on August 10, 2019, inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in Manhattan. Official ruling: suicide by hanging. Public consensus, reinforced by every major new tranche of files: something about that story has never added up – and the weirdness only multiplies with each disclosure.

The Official Timeline vs. Reality on the Ground

Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell shortly before 6:30 a.m. on August 10, 2019. Attorney General William Barr immediately called it an “apparent suicide.” The medical examiner ruled it a hanging. Case closed – or so the government insisted.

Mystery as Italian model who was among first to accuse Jeffrey Epstein of sexual misconduct disappears in New York

A former Italian model who was one of the first women to accuse Jeffrey Epstein of sexual misconduct has mysteriously vanished in New York.

Elisabetta Tai Ferretto, 50, originally from Montagnana in northern Italy, has not been heard from since April 22 after returning to the US.

Ferretto, who has lived in New York since 2001, had travelled back to the Veneto region at the beginning of April to visit her parents and brother.

But after returning to Manhattan, her daily contact with her family suddenly stopped.

The former model’s loved ones said phone calls are going unanswered, and her social media profiles appear to have been deactivated or deleted. 

Her family reported her missing to prosecutors in Rovigo, who opened a case as she is an Italian citizen abroad.

The case has also been passed to Italy’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which has activated diplomatic channels with US authorities.

American officials are now understood to be investigating, but Ferretto has yet to be found safe and well.  

The former model worked in fashion after moving to the United States and later moved into the New York real estate sector.

Her name emerged publicly in 2019 when she spoke about an alleged encounter with Epstein that she said took place in 2004.

Ferretto said she had been introduced to Epstein through her agent in the fashion world after being told he could help her work with major brands.

Her agent proposed that she meet a man ‘who would change her life,’ allowing her to begin modelling for the famous Victoria’s Secret brand. 

That man was none other than Epstein himself, a trusted friend and financial advisor to Leslie Wexner, the owner of Victoria’s Secret.

She said she went to what she believed would be a professional meeting or audition at Epstein’s home on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.

But Ferretto later told investigators and media outlets that she was greeted in the New York mansion by Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell and taken to his office.

There, she claimed the disgraced financier did not look at her portfolio or CV and instead undressed and lay down on a massage table.

She said she rejected him and fled from the property.

Epstein, a convicted sex offender, died in a New York jail in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Ferretto’s family said she had remained in regular contact with them until the day she disappeared.

They said the silence was completely out of character.

No confirmed sightings or official explanation for her disappearance have yet been made public.

Conspiracy for Global Control

Are we all “conspiracy theorists” now? The Epstein files, it would seem, have made us so. They have opened a window that leaves us peering into the pits of hell. The millions of released files reveal horrific references to murder, rape, torture, cannibalism, strangulation, sadomasochism, child sex trafficking, child ritual sacrifice, eugenics, and transhumanism experimentation. The most sensational speculations concerning these references have yet to be proven, but the trail of victims and evidence is so immense, and Jeffrey Epstein’s network of associates and co-conspirators so astonishingly prominent, as to be literally jaw-dropping.

How could this have happened here in America? How could it have happened for so long and on such a horrendous scale without anyone in power doing anything to expose and stop him? Jeffrey Epstein was not some mere lone, sociopathic serial killer like Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer; he was an advisor, confidant, procurer, and pal to the rich and famous, the high and mighty: presidents, prime ministers, potentates, bankers, business titans, and billionaires. He enjoyed unparalleled access to the inner sanctums of Wall Street, Hollywood, Buckingham Palace, the White House, Silicon Valley, Ivy League universities, and other corridors of privilege and power.

Among “the great and the good” mentioned multiple times in the Epstein files we find the former Prince Andrew (now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, having been stripped of his royal titles); U.S. Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump; former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell; former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson; former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak; World Economic Forum president and CEO Borge Brende; Harvard University professor and former U.S. Treasury Secretary Larry Summers; and a veritable Who’s Who of eminent academics, journalists, and other assorted public figures.

L’Affaire Epstein bespeaks a colossal crime-and-corruption network that bestrides the globe and reaches into the highest levels of institutional power. The same conspiratorial network has, until now, successfully covered up its unspeakable crimes, silenced or “disappeared” its victims, and squelched investigations and prosecutions. And it appears that, long after Epstein’s 2019 death, the same network is continuing efforts to “contain” and dissipate the public furor and impatience over official stonewalling and coverup.

New Mexico Police Question Epstein’s Zorro Ranch Staff About Former Prince Andrew’s Visits

New Mexico’s Zorro Ranch probe is looking into visits by a fallen British Royal.

Disgraced former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has lost all his Royal titles and privileges over his decades-long association with Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and their sex trafficking ring.

But, as bad as his situation has become, there may be more trouble incoming for him, not only with the UK police investigating him for ‘gross misconduct in public office’, but in the US state of New Mexico, too.

First reported by the Mirror and picked up by dozens of other outlets, it has emerged that staff who worked for Jeffrey Epstein at his shady Zorro Ranch have been questioned about Andrew’s visits.

The Sun reported:

“More than a dozen former employees of the ranch are said to have been quizzed by cops working for the state’s Department of Justice. […] The housekeepers, ranch hands and managers have been asked who stayed at the New Mexico property and what they saw while employed there. Shamed Andrew’s visits were at the top of the list for investigators, it is understood.”

“A source told the publication: ‘The staff have been asked about guests to the property. It includes the former prince who stayed at the ranch. Detectives are trying to build up a picture of what he, Epstein and others did while at Zorro’.”

Andrew reportedly visited Zorro Ranch on several occasions.

Son of Norwegian Diplomats, Who Inherited $10M From Jeffrey Epstein’s Will, Commits Suicide Days After Police Launch Investigation on His Parents

Late sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s impact on Norway keeps producing nefarious outcomes.

Since the US DOJ released the ‘Epstein files’, a lot of activity has been going on in the Norwegian kingdom, notably around Crown Princess Mette-Marit, who is suffering deep reputational damage, and former Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland, who is under criminal investigation.

But a horrifying development involved diplomat Terje Rod-Larsen and his wife Mona Juul, a former ambassador.

Days after an investigation into their ties to Epstein was launched, their 25-year-old son has reportedly died by suicide.

Daily Mail reported:

“Edward Juul Rod-Larsen, 25, was found dead in Oslo on Wednesday, just days after Norwegian and French police launched a joint investigation into his parents,

[…] ‘It stands in the shadow of months of a public spotlight that has long since ceased to be critical, and has instead become suspicious, speculative and at times limitless. A spotlight that has not only affected two parents, but has also drawn their children involuntarily into the relentless machinery of the public,’ [his family] lawyers wrote.

‘Speculating on connections is both irresponsible and undignified. Suicide is always complex. There is never one explanation, never one cause, never one blame’.”

An Arsenal of Guns Were Stolen From Epstein’s Zorro Ranch Back in 2018, but Staff Would Not Cooperate With Police Investigation

No cooperation with the cops was the norm.

During the absolute deluge of DOJ-released information about the Jeffrey Epstein trafficking ring that we’ve had access to, plenty of information concerned his many properties: his Manhattan townhouse, his Palm Beach mansion, and of course, his ‘Pedophile Island’ of Little Saint James in the US Virgin Islands.

The property less talked about, until now, was the New Mexico ‘Zorro’ Ranch – but now, more and more information is coming to light – to the point where New Mexico police raided the property, looking for the bodies of two young women reportedly buried in the desert after getting killed during a rough sex session.

And yesterday (28), it was reported that ‘dozens of guns were reportedly stolen from Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch back in 2018’ a year before he was arrested.

Not only that, but also that Epstein’s staff refused to cooperate when police tried to investigate.

The New York Post reported:

“Much of the 32-weapon arsenal was stolen from a ‘very large gun safe’ in a garage at the pedo’s mysterious New Mexico property, while some were also snatched from two other buildings on the grounds in August 2018, a New Mexico State Police report obtained by the Santa Fe New Mexican showed.

The buildings had apparently been broken into, with at least one window smashed in the garage. Tire tracks were also found cutting across the desert grounds and leading to a slashed-open fence.”

Former Epstein Employee Accused of Kidnapping at Little St. James

Police found two men stripped and bound in separate incidents on Little St. James Island in recent weeks, both allegedly at or near the former island home of notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein without permission, according to court records posted Monday.

Longtime Epstein property manager Ann Rodriquez was charged with kidnapping, assault and destruction of property for allegedly aggressively boating after two men on jet skis, forcing one man to strip and be hog-tied at gunpoint.

Agents from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Virgin Islands Police Department descended on the island March 1 when the man’s brother fled on a Jet Ski to alert authorities.

The brothers were attempting to film a documentary about the island when Rodriquez and other men, not named in police reports, allegedly sped up. Rodriquez allegedly leveled a handgun at one man while shouting, “I will kill you,” according to court records. She allegedly ordered the man to swim to her boat, where he was made to kneel with his hands over his head. The other brother filmed part of the encounter and then, fearing he was next, sped away to summon police.

Authorities arrived to find the victim hog-tied naked in the back of the boat, according to court records.

Rodriquez had allegedly rifled the victim’s bag and thrown memory cards containing drone footage of the island into the sea. The handgun turned out to be a BB gun designed to look like a Glock 19, with no orange safety markings. Police found two more similar weapons on the island, according to court records.

Rodriquez, who identified herself as still the property manager of Little Saint James Island, now owned by billionaire investor Stephen Deckoff, told police uninvited visitors frequently approached the island to obtain social media content.
