Former Gov. Bill Richardson’s name removed from UNMH building amid Epstein file questions
By KOB February 12, 2026
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Former Gov. Bill Richardson’s name has been removed from a UNM Hospital building amid questions about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
UNM officials confirmed the decision to rename the building was made in 2026 when the hospital opened the new critical care tower. Communications Director Chris Ramirez said the change aimed to simplify building names and assist patients.
When asked if Richardson’s relationship with Epstein influenced the decision, Ramirez said he didn’t have an answer and couldn’t specify when the name was officially removed.
On Capitol Hill, the House Judiciary Committee questioned Attorney General Pam Bondi about handling the Epstein files. Meanwhile, New Mexico lawmakers are pursuing their own investigations.
State Rep. Andrea Romero is advocating for a truth commission to investigate Epstein’s activities at Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe County.
“We know that Jeffrey Epstein had friends in very, very high political places in New Mexico,” said Romero. “This is about justice. This is about the pursuit of the ability of survivors to have their place of justice in our state and to make sure it never happens again.”
Truth commission proposal
The proposal will be debated on the state House floor this Friday. If approved, the commission could subpoena individuals to testify about events at Zorro Ranch.
Local radio host Eddy Aragon received an anonymous email alleging two girls were killed and buried at Zorro Ranch on Epstein’s orders. The email claims video evidence exists and requests payment in Bitcoin.
State Land Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard has asked the state Department of Justice to investigate the allegations, as Epstein leased state land around the ranch. The attorney general’s office is working to verify the email’s claims.

Epstein Bought 330 Gallons of Sulfuric Acid on Same Day FBI Launched Trafficking Investigation
Newly released Justice Department documents are raising disturbing new questions about Jeffrey Epstein, as records have revealed a large sulfuric acid purchase for his private island on the very same day that the FBI launched its federal trafficking investigation into the convicted child predator.
According to receipts and internal emails contained within millions of files released on January 30, Epstein arranged for six 55-gallon drums, roughly 330 gallons, of sulfuric acid to be delivered to Little St. James, his private island in the Caribbean also known as “Pedophile Island.”
The chemical purchase, totaling $4,373, occurred on June 12, 2018, coinciding with the launch of the federal probe into his trafficking operation.
Signs are emerging of Epstein’s plan to build a ‘super race’
Epstein’s goal was to have 20 women at a time impregnated at the property. The idea was reportedly inspired by the Repository for Germinal Choice, a now-defunct sperm bank envisioned to populate the human gene pool with DNA of Nobel Laureates.
Baby Ranch’
According to two award-winning scientists and an adviser to large companies, Epstein planned to use his 33,000-square-foot compound, known as Zorro Ranch, outside Santa Fe, as a base to carry out this plan, NYT reported. Epstein shared his ideas over dinner and other social gatherings between 2001 and 2006.
The adviser said he was told about Epstein’s transhumanist idea but also by at least one prominent member of the business community.
Modern-day eugenics
Epstein’s plan was rooted in transhumanism, a belief system that promotes the use of technology and engineering of genetic blueprint to enhance human capabilities.
Critics view transhumanism as a modern-day version of eugenics – the discredited field of improving the human race through controlled breeding, which was used by the Nazis to justify genocide.
A professor emeritus of law at Harvard recalled a conversation he had with Epstein over lunch, where the latter steered the talk toward the question of how humans could be improved genetically.
In 2011, a charity established by Epstein gave $20,000 to the World Transhumanist Association, which now operates under the name Humanity Plus.
Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould, and geneticist George M Church were among the names mentioned in the Epstein Files, the archive of 3 million documents revolving around the financier’s criminal activities.
Nobel Prize-winning physicist Murray Gell-Mann, in the acknowledgments section of his book “The Quark and the Jaguar,” thanked Epstein for his financial support.
Scientists gathered at dinner parties at Epstein’s Manhattan mansion, where ideas were debated over expensive wines, the NYT reported. He hosted buffet lunches at Harvard’s Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, which he had helped start with a $6.5 million donation.
Retired, living in the Scottish Borders after living most of my life in cities in England. I can now indulge my interest in all aspects of living close to nature in a wild landscape. I live on what was once the Iapetus Ocean which took millions of years to travel from the Southern Hemisphere to here in the Northern Hemisphere. That set me thinking and questioning and seeking answers.
