Summary

If the NSA, FBI, and CIA possess the surveillance capabilities revealed by Snowden (PRISM, XKeyscore, Upstream, etc.), how could a sex trafficking network involving dozens of minors and dozens of public figures have operated for over 20 years without being dismantled? The paradox admits only three logical answers: (A) the surveillance capabilities are less total than believed, (B) the network was detected but agencies chose not to act (protection of an asset?), (C) bureaucratic compartmentalization prevents action even when the information exists. The answer is likely a combination of the three.

Key claims

1

Les agences avaient les capacites techniques de detecter le reseau Epstein [PROBABLE — PRISM, XKeyscore, metadonnees telephoniques]

2

Le FBI avait des informations sur Epstein des 1996 (signalement Maria Farmer) [ESTABLISHED]

3

Le sweetheart deal de 2008 (Acosta) implique une intervention deliberee dans le processus judiciaire [ESTABLISHED — Acosta a invoque des pressions de 'gens au-dessus de lui']

4

Epstein etait un asset du renseignement beneficiant d'une protection [HYPOTHESIS — cf. THEORY-0001, citation Acosta 'intelligence']

5

Le paradoxe s'explique principalement par la complaisance institutionnelle envers les puissants [PROBABLE]

6

Les cloisonnements bureaucratiques empechent l'action meme avec l'information [PROBABLE — meme dynamique que le 11/9]
