Now the tide has truly changed. It was impossible to speak up up to now because it was futile. The fix was always in. Now that whole network is been exposed and they all fear justice as they can see it playing out in real time in Washington.
Now the weak will come forward and the strong will be taken down with all their wealth confiscated in the process.
That is what we are seeing happen quite publicly, but also much less publicly as thousands of lower positioned individuals are been arrested and run through the justice system. With an amazing 100,000 sealed indictments we are clearly seeing a measured take down with no time wasted on theatrics. .
Exclusive — U.S. Virgin Islands Senator on Epstein: ‘Widespread Corruption’ in Territory, ‘He Has People on His Payroll’

U.S. Virgin Islands Sen. Oakland Benta, a St. Croix Democrat who
previously served as the island’s chief of police, is speaking out in
an exclusive interview with Breitbart News about billionaire Democrat
donor Jeffrey Epstein and demanding wide-ranging investigations in the
territory into Epstein’s and others’ alleged “widespread corruption.”
“There is widespread corruption within the territory that needs to be
addressed and looked at with fresh eyes,” Benta said in an exclusive
interview with Breitbart News on Thursday.
In the wake of fresh charges in New York City brought against
Epstein, Benta says the authorities in the U.S. Virgin Islands both
locally and federally need to probe into more potential crimes that may
have been committed. A career law enforcement official who was chief of
police in St. Croix for many years before his election to the
territory’s legislature, Benta is concerned there may have been both
federal and local crimes committed with regard to trafficking minors for
the purposes of illicit sex acts.
“Being an investigator as well, and understanding the dynamics, the
police department now needs to work with its federal partners very
closely because we have interstate trafficking across state lines of
minors,” Benta told Breitbart News. “If you move across state lines,
that is a trafficking offense. At the end of the day, there are so many
souls that have been placed in these positions that don’t have the
wherewithal or the assistance and they’re saying ‘please help.’ Now we
can actually encourage them to come forward because they know that
justice will be served once it is brought to the correct ears here in
the territory. Now, there is a belief and a trust that services will be
rendered and justice will be served based on who they speak to within
the territory.”
Benta contends that Epstein, whose infamous private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands
served as a home base for alleged illicit activities, ran a massive
influence operation to get powerful politicians, nonprofit
organizations, law enforcement, and government agencies charged with
stopping such corruption and criminal activity from focusing on him.
“He [Epstein] has people on his payroll,” Benta alleges. “He has
campaign contributions. He has donated to a lot of agencies and
nonprofits. Maybe part of the reason why they’re not vocal is a lot of
the nonprofit organizations have been recipients of contributions from
Jeffrey Epstein and a lot of surrounding programs with children.”
One person of note on Epstein’s payroll is the wife of now former
U.S. Virgin Islands Gov. John de Jongh’s wife, who as this reporter revealed in 2012 was working for Epstein while her husband was governor and himself facing a bribery scandal. According to a Bloomberg News report this week, Cecile de Jongh still works for Epstein per his company’s published records.
Benta is demanding the local government of the U.S. Virgin Islands step up and root out the public corruption.
“Yesterday, I made a point of privilege and launched a skirting
address to my colleagues that we need to engage in this process of dire
concern within our territories because at the end of the day it falls on
our shoulders whether we will continue to work under the auspices of a
corrupt enterprise which is identified as a white collar crime
destination—which under the U.S. jurisdiction we are identified as
such—and these sort of behaviors, we are not by ourselves because we
have a lot of agencies that are funded federally that are supposed to
safeguard this territory from these types of behaviors and crimes
against persons most of all our children,” Benta told Breitbart News on
Thursday.
“I’m the only one—the only elected official in the territory, the
only government official in the territory, who has said anything about
this issue from the time it has begun until now,” he added. “It’s
everywhere. It needs to be the responsibility of all of us—every single
person in the government—we now need to hold every single person within
the respected agencies accountable for doing what they are supposed to
and if not address it appropriately if they are not doing what they are
supposed to. If you know something, say something. Or if you should have
known something, that also is a caveat for us to apply justice when it
comes to corruption in the other direction.”
Benta also had strong words for the potential criminals lurking in public positions throughout the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Benta’s interview with Breitbart News came just hours before now
former Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta resigned over criticism he was not
tough enough on Epstein in a 2008 plea deal. Acosta resigned on Friday.
Benta mentioned Acosta’s role in the matter, suggesting authorities
locally in the U.S. Virgin Islands have been using “kid gloves” when
combating corruption in the territory.
“The gloves are off,” he said. “I say that because we love boxing. I
for sure have called this to the attention of all my colleagues.
Combating this vexing issue, as disturbing as it is, is important to
protect our children who we created in order to protect our future.”
“Mother justice will serve her purpose,” Benta added. “If you use our
soil, our region, to perpetrate these acts against our children, we
must see justice.”
Benta also called on the new Attorney General of the U.S. Virgin Islands, Denise George, to investigate the matter.
“The attorney general, she is a female—Denise George—and just got
seated into the position within the last two weeks, she needs to pay
attention to the sex offenders list that falls under her purview and
needs to make sure we have an account of all who are in the territory
and who comes into contact with our children from elementary through
high school and any sports like baseball or softball—any organization
that has children being the main caveat to those programs—that we hold
each one of those registered pedophiles in the region close to our
chests as far as our observation in terms of who they are engaging with
in the territory,” Benta said.
