Survivor testifies about "trauma and torture" at Epstein's Zorro Ranch

(snip)

She said she suffered kidnapping, and torture, being forced to drown in a tank before being pulled out and revived over and over again. She said she wasn’t sure if it was an experiment, or just for Epstein.

“Sometimes I was again blindfolded, sometimes I was not blindfolded. Either way, it was horrifying. Sometimes I felt the water level rising higher and higher,” Church said. “Other times it terrorized me while I watched it rise until it engulfed me. A gag would both muffle my screams and help water enter my lungs faster.”

She said she was forced to go through the tank many times, including while pregnant as a teenager.

“I don't remember being taken out of the tank, so I have no idea whatsoever what may have happened to my babies, but I remember cramps and bleeding,” she said. “Were my babies buried at Zorro Ranch?”

Too much has been hidden for too long, even decades, while protecting the wealthy and the influential on both sides of the aisle.

I wouldn't bet my house on much progress, but hope springs eternal . . .

Those rapist torturing traffickers met our head of FBI, Kanye West and others on their trip to Florida. Tucker Carlson has promoted them.

This vileness and violence didn't stop when Epstein "killed himself."
