@TheRickyDavila In May 2018 Democratic Senators complained that Trump had used Bolton to remove leaders from the federal pandemic response team.

Soon forgotten.

Today ??? Until then the US had a top-tier system.

Trump degraded it to Worst in the World.
#crimeofthecentury
Ebola stayed away in 2018.

SARS-CoV-2 COVID-19 makes up for it.

The federal system had been implemented originally, basically in 1955. A gift from Eisenhower's SEATO alliance. Works best-of-show versus COVID.

Eastern Asia = 144 deaths-per-million

Trumped USA = 2,364 dpm
What Trump had Bolton eliminate:
-- The top manager, Adm. Riemer
-- Non-military staff
-- Liaison positions for Nat'l Guard and Agencies
Together with their projects:
-- Border quarantine
-- Nat'l Tracking Corps
-- Antiviral/antibiotic support
-- Positive pressure PPE
COVID became a national emergency in China, 21-Jan-2020.

White House policy = denial = "Like magic, it will disappear"

Thousands of deaths changed nothing.

None of the GHST projects were reinstated.

Foreign Policy got this off:
foreignpolicy.com/2020/01/31/cor…
The Eisenhower-to-2018 system would have triggered border quarantine:
- from Hubei, 29-December-2019
- all of China, 21-January-2020

At 144 deaths-per-million like eastern Asia, the US today would be under 50,000 COVID-19 deaths.

But that system was long gone.
Think Tank work in USA since 2018 omits the critical tasks you see in the "Seven Pillars" outline.

In D.C. they write up budget grabs.

Here's one of the worst. They spend $ 1 BB on nothing critical. Pretend it's original work.

Even Michael Lewis fell for the stories.

In "The Premonition," he has George Bush initiate the first pandemic planning in 2005.

That's silly.

But everybody screws up somewhere.
theguardian.com/books/2021/may…
Everything Lewis's "Wolverines" wanted had already been built.

They didn't know that because they didn't have the security clearances or White House NSC contacts for access.

Piecemeal training, sure.

The 3,000+ pages of planning docs had been sealed off like nuclear codes.
After the Foreign Policy article, January 2020, corporate media dropped all mention.

The specialists have to know that Bolton's tale of a re-organization was a lie.

The critical projects didn't move.

They disappeared.
#crimeofthecentury
"Not to relitigate the past" = this is the biggest 2-man crime in the history of the United States

By far.

Overshadowing 9/11.

FBI, Congress & corporate media have access to the evidence.

Trump's White House ??? The worst of America for liars.

@RonFilipkowski - COVID-19 is the Black Swan for 2020/21/22. Plainly Joe Biden got us going..

Thing is, back in 2018 Trump had the National Security Council anti-pandemic management team eliminated. And all their projects.

Crazy bad. #Sabotage
foreignpolicy.com/2020/01/31/cor…
The system we lost in 2018 would have responded automatically beginning 12/31/2019:
-- Border quarantine
-- National Tracking Corps
-- EMT enhancements
-- Antiviral support
-- Positive pressure PPE for hospitals

Also liaison positions to National Guard and the Agencies. ImageImageImageImage
This Eisenhower-to-2018 system came over from SEATO in Asia.

Enhancements were added steadily. Same for renamings and false claims of ground-up reinvention.

The same basic system has Asia under 150 deaths-per-million today.

USA would have fewer than 50,000 COVID-19 deaths. ImageImageImageImage

@therealroseanne -- A real problem: COVID-19 in China became a regional emergency 31-December-2019. Then national 21-January-2020.

In America the federal system (from 1955) had been deactivated in 2018.

Foreign Policy got off this extended objection:
foreignpolicy.com/2020/01/31/cor…
The system we lost in 2018 would have responded automatically:
-- Border quarantine
-- National Tracking Corps
-- EMT enhancements
-- Antiviral/antibiotic support
-- Positive pressure PPE for hospitals

Also liaison positions manned to serve National Guard and the Agencies.
This Eisenhower-to-2018 system came over in a barebones version. Then enhancements were added in just about every Administration.

And each renaming was billed as a ground-up reinvention.

Today in Asia that's 144 deaths-per-million.

For the US: under 50,000 COVID-19 deaths.

@FarmingPathogen - Your strategies for containing mechanized farm risks present a form of offense against pathogen production. A way to push back.

The other half is defense.

Both raise awareness. And both are vulnerable to sabotage from authoritarians.
foreignpolicy.com/2020/01/31/cor…
We have yet to see a risk assessment that combines offense and defense.

Whole countries still make choices based on denying the both of them. We went from top tier to Worst in the World.

USA Senators objected to the 2018 actions. Bolton hid deletions with bogus security tags. ImageImageImageImage
Destruction started with personnel:
- Top managers
- Non-military staff
- Liaisons to Nat'l Guard and Agencies
Killing projects:
- Border quarantine
- Tracking Corps
- Antivirals/antibiotics support
- PPE

Done to dump any Ebola jump on the states. And bad-mouth the Governors. ImageImageImageImage

@davidhogg111 -- Go on offense = risk being a target for threats, possible vendetta actions

For example, threats still cover up a gross Trump misfeasance 2018 - 2020.

He feared bad press if Ebola made the jump.

So he dumped federal pandemic response on the hapless states.
Ebola never got here. SARS-CoV-2 COVID-19 makes up for its absence.

The system Trump had John Bolton destroy had been implemented originally, very basically in 1955. A gift from Eisenhower's SEATO alliance.

Eastern Asia = 144 deaths-per-million

Trumped:

USA = 2,364 DPM
What Bolton eliminated ranged from
-- The top manager, Adm. Riemer
-- Non-military staff
-- Liaison positions between WH and Agencies
Together with:
-- Border quarantine
-- Nat'l Tracking Corps
-- Antivirals/antibiotics
-- Positive pressure PPE

@gregolear -- You got this right. But getting all of the story depends on access to Inside Beltway resources.

Let's start with what you posted yesterday. Then fill in what we've dug out starting spring of 2018. For Ebola.

Then going to 2020. And today.
Trump feared Ebola. Tough questions from media. His ignorance of basics coming out with lives on the line.

He ordered HR McMaster to eliminate federal pandemic response. Answer = obscene

Bolton was brought in. Gutless POS got right on it, first task as NatSec Advisor. 2018. ImageImageImageImage
Congress learned about Adm. Riemer going.

Agency Liaisons went too. But that was concealed behind security walls. Same for Bolton deleting the detail files off NSA computers: border quarantine, Tracking Corps, materials to order, et. al.

That system matched eastern Asia. ImageImageImageImage
