For many years people have pondered how British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell can be sitting in prison as a convicted child sex trafficker without a single person she trafficked young girls to having the same fate.
One of the most prominent political figures of our time, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, seemingly has had enough of this hypocrisy as well since he recently signed a bill relative to this matter. He signed bill (HB 117), sponsored by Rep. Peggy Gossett-Seidman, R-Highland Beach, and Sen. Tina Polsky, D-Boca Raton which requires an exception to the prohibition on the disclosure of testimony or evidence received by grand juries. During a public bill-signing at the Palm Beach Police Department, Gov. DeSantis called it wrong that “a very rich and well-connected” person was able to “engineer an outcome that the average citizen would likely never have been able” to do.
What this could result in is a backdoor method to find out who was associated with Epstein back in 2006-07 when he was arrested in Florida for allegedly sexually abusing young girls (some as young as 12) at his mansion in Palm Beach. His prosecution was the result of a grand jury investigation. Through a deal approved by prosecutors in 2007, Epstein avoided federal charges and agreed to a guilty plea of two state prostitution charges one of which was procuring a minor for sex. Many of his victims were outraged at this “backroom deal” being struck without their notification.
Still, as of yet, no complete list of names has been made public.
But a recent “WIRED” investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Island visitors discusses the data broker “Near Intelligence” which could change this. This company is believed to have used technology to digitally track cell phones of those who visited Epstein Island back in the early 2000’s. If true, what this controversial data broker did was acquire cell phone data to track pings from the island when gatherings of the elites were held on the island back in the day.
One of the most interesting passages of the “WIRED” story explained what the function of a company like “Near Intelligence” is, or was:
“Officially, this data is intended to be used by companies hoping to determine where potential customers work and reside. But in October 2023, the (Wall Street) Journal revealed that Near had once provided data to the US military via a maze of obscure marketing companies, cutouts, and conduits to defense contractors.”

This company that went by the name “Near Intelligence” filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 Protection. This news came out January 1st of this year from CEO, Anil Mathews, at company headquarters in Pasadena, California. One has to wonder if there was a connection to this announcement to the data breach uncovered the 4th quarter of last year to this filing.

This data breach story has been recently going viral on the Internet as is evident in this one of many news pieces dated march 28th:
“Who Are the Newly Revealed Jeffrey Epstein Associates?” – New York Magazine
CONCLUSION:
The idea of an adult having sexual relations with a child has always been repugnant to me and most others. Years ago I was a vendor to several state prisons. There I found out pedophiles are not appreciated in the general population of prisons either!
Normally, as a Christian, I would want to look away from such a list feeling like an ambulance chaser looking at an accident scene. Several celebrities I truly admired are said to have their names on that list of Epstein Island visitors and, if true, I will be very disappointed in them and no longer a fan.
I will be conflicted because on the one hand Americans believe everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty but on the other hand we also believe in guilt by association. I guess that means while there will never be formal courtroom trials for people of these lists, they can still be judged in the court of public opinion.
Having said that which comes from my heart I must also address what comes from my mind. From my mind, I really want to know the names of that list.
Why?
Over the years I have noticed some of those people rumored to be on that Epstein Island visitors list are the same ones who have most cruelly and viscously verbally attacked former President Donald Trump to the point they should be sued for liable and slander. This gives one cause to pause and ask the question, “Are they coming after Trump because they know he hates pedophiles and would just as soon see all of them in prison?!”
We found some of the first Epstein visitor names released earlier this year here:
“Nearly 200 names linked to Jeffrey Epstein expected to be made public” – The Guardian
If this is the motivation of these people, and I believe it could be, that is a less than sincere reason to hate Donald Trump. Just because you are trying to save your own ass from justice, that is a cowardly way to avoid it. The implication is these people are operating from the old adage, “The best defense is a strong offense,” and I find their attacks on President Trump, very offensive!
And for the record, both Epstein and Maxwell were arrested during the Donald Trump Administration which should dispel any Democrat misinformation that “Epstein and Trump were friends”.
And the irony of this “WIRED” story (if true) is not lost on the fact that the FBI found and arrested Maxwell back in 2019 by PINGING THE LOCATION DATA OF HER CELL PHONE in an upscale secluded million-dollar estate of New Hampshire.
It makes one want to ask FBI Director Christopher Wray, “Why didn’t you think of doing that for Epstein?”
But then again, Americans who have seen the Dinesh D’Souza movie “2000 Mules” have wanted to ask this same question about the 2020 General Election since 2022!
