They missed the story completely. How could then not know what was going on in Wuhan? President Trump, master of excellent judgment calls, shut of flights from China, no thanks to the CIA. If the CIA had been doing their job, we would have a month or two ahead of the China virus.
If the CIA had been doing their job instead of trying to undermine our President Trump, we might have avoided this disaster, and possibly saved the rest of the world in the process.
RE: Although the CDC is a politically correct organization, loaded with Democrats and affirmative action hires, most of the blame for this fiasco falls at the feet of our CIA and intelligence community.
What do you make of this piece of information then?
TITLE: Intelligence report warned of coronavirus crisis as early as November: Sources
(EXCERPT)
As far back as late November, U.S. intelligence officials were warning that a contagion was sweeping through China’s Wuhan region, changing the patterns of life and business and posing a threat to the population, according to four sources briefed on the secret reporting.
Concerns about what is now known to be the novel coronavirus pandemic were detailed in a November intelligence report by the military’s National Center for Medical Intelligence (NCMI), according to two officials familiar with the document’s contents.
The report was the result of analysis of wire and computer intercepts, coupled with satellite images. It raised alarms because an out-of-control disease would pose a serious threat to U.S. forces in Asia — forces that depend on the NCMI’s work. And it paints a picture of an American government that could have ramped up mitigation and containment efforts far earlier to prepare for a crisis poised to come home.
“Analysts concluded it could be a cataclysmic event,” one of the sources said of the NCMI’s report. “It was then briefed multiple times to” the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s Joint Staff and the White House. Wednesday night, the Pentagon issued a statement denying the “product/assessment” existed.
The damage would have been much smaller if Trump had followed his instincts and stuck to the Easter opening recommendation. He didn’t because Dr. Doom and Deborah spent the entire week leading before blitzing all media with doom predictions. Then they swooped into the Oval Office with their BS charts and put Trump into another vice.
