|content=What would you say to the same needs in reverse? I, for example, want to know if [[Jeffrey Epstein]] had ties to the US intelligence community and has some measure of immunity to operate as a pedophile &amp; trafficker.

Q: Was his Florida arrest what you call a “[[Blue on Blue]]” screw up?

|content=So this just appears now!?! And what do we learn? That if "'''Sources and Methods'''" of the Intelligence Community might be compromised, prosecutors regularly decline to push for full prosecution EVEN IN THE CASE OF SEXUAL ABUSE of minors and INFANTS.

Bingo: [[Follow the Silence]].

|content=We have an undisclosed program; there's some kind of 'understanding' that we don't understand. I very well understand why we don't casually compromise "'''Sources &amp; Methods'''". But trafficking kids is NOT casual business. Nor is USING them as part of ''''Sources &amp; Methods'''' for kompromat.

|content=One question now creates 2 teams:

Team A) ''''Sources &amp; Methods'''' are above child trafficking in importance.

Team B) Child Trafficking is above any exemption for our ''''Sources &amp; Methods''''.

I believe that if Epstein needed to use kids for '''S&amp;M''' as Kompromat, we lost our plot entirely.

|content=I’m not seeing the trial we would normally expect, given what we suspect. We don’t see the coverage we would normally expect.

Ultra-weak prosecution. Weak coverage. The whole thing stinks.

I’m in no way sure that this trial is that big of a deal, the way it’s being conducted.

|content=I submit this to you that “This likely is the best explanation of all the improbable things that keep happening which keep us from learning the truth in this case.”

This isn’t remotely tin foil hat territory. This looks like state protection of the '''Sources and Methods''' of the IC.

|content=I have been told that '''“Sources and Methods”''' of the IC must be protected by any means necessary. 

That is likely the most parsimonious explanation for why the [[Jeffrey Epstein|Epstein]] case never resolves. Something seems to happen to everything and everyone who could clear it up.

|content=Is this a conspiracy theory?

Well, think about it like this. When the Intelligence Community is doing it’s job properly it’s supposed to generate conspiracies for the public good. So saying the IC is a conspiracy factory isn’t a conspiracy theory; it’s part of a job description.

|content=Further, we definitely have an “Event Deconfliction” system to make sure that local law enforcement &amp; district attorneys don’t bust &amp; prosecute undercover federal agents, screwing up our secret programs. Events are called “[[Blue on Blue]].”

So that isn’t a conspiracy theory either.

|content=Additionally, the use of honey traps, honey pots, and kompromat are all well known as tools of the IC, as is disinformation.

None of that is conspiracy theory either. 

The only thing you can object to as [[Responsible Conspiracy Theorizing|irresponsible conspiracy theory]] is the assertion that this may apply here.

Who was paying Routh in Ukraine, Afghanistan, etc.?
Is there no connection whatsoever?

|content=UFOs & Foreign Aid/NGOs are both broad programs with which to hide Aerospace development and covert operations respectively.

We don't need to be conspiracy theorizing anymore.

We can now simply be [[Responsible Conspiracy Theorizing|conspiracy inquiring]].

It takes some getting used to. But we can just...ask.

And if you think that's nuts: then you EXPLAIN this construction worker turned would-be assassin? I'm all ears.

Just another misfit far from home near a war? That's it? 
Let's get that on the record! From officials. Under oath.

I'd love to hear that, because trying to assasinate a once and future president is a HUGE deal. And we don't seem very interested in his oddball story. Why was this guy so [[Anti-Interesting|anti-interesting]]? I find him utterly fascinating. At a minimum.

Such a crazy story! No? I'd pay to watch a documentary.
