Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez, a journalist who extensively covered the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's notorious New Mexico ranch, has revealed she is fleeing the United States after becoming the victim of an alleged direct energy weapons attack linked to her reporting.
Journalist's Ordeal
The former Boston Globe and Los Angeles Times reporter said she abruptly left her New Mexico residence after experiencing symptoms consistent with what is known as Havana syndrome. In a Substack post, Valdes-Rodriguez wrote, 'It appears my home has been located by, well, whoever is unhappy about my reporting about Zorro Ranch and the local cover-up here and the military intelligence roots of the child sex trafficking operation Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were running here in New Mexico.'
She described being hit in her home office by two episodes of what she later learned were likely direct energy weapon attacks. 'We wasted no time in leaving the house, for good,' she stated.
Safe Houses and Permanent Departure
The Albuquerque-born writer said she would be staying in safe houses while preparing to leave the United States permanently. In subsequent posts, she alleged the attacks may have involved a backpack-sized weapon placed on or near her roof by private military contractors. 'The second round of attacks seemed to have come from the back of a large semi truck that parked across from my house,' she wrote. 'These devices have gotten smaller now … some are the size of large machine guns.'
Background on Epstein Investigation
Valdes-Rodriguez spent recent years as an independent investigative journalist focused heavily on Epstein's sprawling New Mexico compound known as Zorro Ranch. According to the author, her reporting uncovered evidence that Epstein's ranch may have been connected to broader political and intelligence networks in New Mexico.
