So, I saw the title of this article and I dived right in: The Coronavirus Is the Worst Intelligence Failure in U.S. History by Micah Zenko [archived: http://archive.is/9QbOa]
Last September, I met the vice president for risk for a Fortune 100 company in Washington, D.C. I asked the executive—who previously had a long career as an intelligence analyst—the question you would ask any risk officer: “What are you most worried about?” Without pausing, this person replied, “A highly contagious virus that begins somewhere in China and spreads rapidly.” This vice president, whose company has offices throughout East Asia, explained the preventative mitigating steps the company had subsequently adopted to counter this potential threat.
So last SEPTEMBER this writer Micah Zenko was told about the possibility of a highly contagious virus spreading?? Uh huh.. He doesn't reveal who actually foretold about a coming virus but the rest of the article was basically Orange Man Baaad...

Stanley A. McChrystal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_A._McChrystal
He commanded the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) for five years.. As head of what Newsweek termed "the most secretive force in the U.S. military", McChrystal maintained a very low profile until June 2006, when his forces were responsible for the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq.[25] After McChrystal's team successfully located Zarqawi and called in the airstrike that killed him, McChrystal accompanied his men to the bombed-out hut near Baqubah to personally identify the body
McChrystal's Zarqawi unit, Task Force 6-26, became well known for its interrogation methods, particularly at Camp Nama, where it was accused of abusing detainees.
In November 2010, JetBlue Airways announced that McChrystal would join its board of directors.[76] On February 16, 2011, Navistar International announced that McChrystal would join its board of directors.
McChrystal is Chairman of the Board of Siemens Government Technologies, and is on the strategic advisory board of Knowledge International, a licensed arms dealer whose parent company is EAI, a business "very close" to the United Arab Emirates government.[78] He co-founded and is a partner at McChrystal Group, an Alexandria, Virginia-based consulting firm.[79][80] His philosophy of leadership and building stronger organizations is quoted in the bestselling book by Daniel Levitin The Organized Mind.
In 2011, McChrystal joined Spirit of America, a 501(c)(3) organization that supports the safety and success of Americans serving abroad and the local people and partners they seek to help, as an Advisory Board Member.
On January 8, 2013, McChrystal appeared on MSNBC's Morning Joe program, in which he endorsed stronger U.S. gun control laws, saying that assault weapons were for the battlefield, not schools or streets... Fall 2014; Stanley A. McChrystal's townhouse in Alexandria, Va., was where Michael Flynn registered his new company consulting and intelligence business, the Flynn Intel Group.
