Pentagon Denies ABC News Report Military Intelligence Knew About Coronavirus in November
2020-04-09
ABC News story found at this link.

[Breitbart] The Pentagon late on Wednesday said an ABC News report that said a military intelligence unit wrote a report on the coronavirus in November is not accurate.

Col (Dr.) R. Shane Day, the director of the National Center for Medical Intelligence at the Defense Intelligence Agency, said in a statement that as a matter of practice, the NCMI does not comment publicly on specific intelligence matters. He said"
However, in the interest of transparency during this current public health crisis, we can confirm that media reporting about the existence/release of a National Center for Medical Intelligence Coronavirus-related product/assessment in November of 2019 is not correct. No such NCMI product exists.

A defense official added on background that the NCMI and the DIA spent considerable time over the last 24 hours examining every possible product that could have been identified as related to this topic and have found no such product.
All are now burn bagged and non-existent.
The exclusive ABC News report, published Wednesday morning, said the NCMI warned the military and the White House about the spread of the virus in China as far back as late November:

#3  National Center for Medical Intelligence at the Defense Intelligence Agency,
Sounds like their remit was military bioweapons and military bioweapons only... Civilian epidemics was somebody else's problemâ„¢.

#1  US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper said Sunday that he couldn’t recall if the Pentagon received an intelligence assessment on the novel coronavirus......

Pandemic intelligence assessment memory lapses, why do they hate us? How about Fred or Sally, could they remember? Bueller? Anyone ?

Can I safely assume we've heard nothing from the Klingon's on the Shahid Mahillati Uranium Metals Workshop... or the COVID-19 virus ?
