Reporter who investigated s£x offender Jeffrey Epstein is ‘fleeing’ the US amid attack over her coverage on it..

 A journalist who has reported extensively on late financier and s£x offender Jeffrey Epstein’s notorious New Mexico ranch has revealed that she is “fleeing the country,” after she became the victim of a “direct energy weapons” attack over her coverage.

Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez, a former Boston Globe and Los Angeles Times reporter, said she abruptly abandoned her New Mexico residence after suffering what she described as symptoms consistent with “Havana syndrome.”

 “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,” Valdes-Rodriguez wrote last week on her Substack.
