We know that correlation does not necessarily mean causation. But sometimes you gotta wonder, especially as Mr. Trump’s administration is busily dismantling the CIA. First, GW Bush ignore the PDB of August 8, 2001, on “Bin Laden determined to strike in US”. Then Trump 1.0 eliminates the NSC directorate on pandemic preparedness before the Covid-19 pandemic (and apparently with the exception of Peter Navarro(!) ignores warnings about Covid).
The PDF of the entire memo (redacted of course), delivered 36 days before 9/11, is here.
Now, Mr. Trump’s administration is going full throttle to eliminate (once again) early warning systems against threats to the United States. What’s coming next?
