WASHINGTON — U.S. spy agencies collected raw intelligence hinting at a public health crisis in Wuhan, China, in November, two current and one former U.S. official told NBC News, but the information was not understood as the first warning signs of an impending global pandemic.came in the form of communications intercepts and overhead images showing increased activity at health facilities, the officials said.
"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 incorrect," said a statement by Dr. R. Shane Day, an Air Force colonel who is director of the National Center for Medical Intelligence, a unit of the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency."No such NCMI product exists.
What are your sources of these rumors you are spreading
This November we owe it to our American dead to not forget Trump’s failure: 1/22 “We have it totally under control” 2/24 “The coronavirus is very much under control in the USA”. 2/28 “Its going to disappear”. 3/7 “Anyone who wants a test can get one”
But I thought this was a European virus? So confused at what I am supposed to outraged at. Is it realDonaldTrump for being a racist like he was last week or at him for dropping the ball like every other leader in the world? Please help like me countless sheeple need your help.
Wow, and then the USA still has the largest number of ill and dead cases, not the least, even they knew such CRISIS the earliest as I have known so far. HAHAHAHA...
NBC News is LYING to us here. They LIE constantly. This story has been thoroughly DEBUNKED and yet they continue to LIE about it. Because they are LIARS.
IPatticakes And he gets briefed..... So... He laughed it off as a hoax. Criminal.
'The Washington Post has reported that U.S. intelligence agencies wrote intelligence reports including ominous warnings about the coronavirus in January and February. None of the classified intelligence reports about the virus have been made public.' Credit: .
Teump SHOULD have known. Probably too busy golfing.
first US send spies to threaten China's national security. second US knowed what happen earlier than any other including even the local government. third US didn't tell out what they know and wasted time and lives.
Oh well, too bad there is none of that intelligence in our President I guess.... Otherwise, who knows... We could of done something earlier!? Oh wow!
Proverbs 15:22 (NIV) Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed. Proverbs 15:24 (NIV) The path of life leads upward for the prudent to keep them from going down to the realm of the dead.
Why are you tweeting the same story 5 times a day? Are you guys that LAZY? Clearly NOT an essential business to anyone. Stay at home.
The Intelligence community has already said this story is flat out a lie. Even when they do not usually reply to false stories like this.
Ok guys quit repeating the news . We got it there were a several reports from deferent sources regarding covid-19 starting from 2007 and no government toke this seriously . So what’s the deal now ? Are we fucked up or there is a chance th change the world system?
There’s a lot to this virus than what we’ve been given, what we’ve found out and what’s about to happen! theworldmustfightback
Let me guess.....”Anonymous Sources”. What a load of crap NBC has become. You guys used to be journalists.
Translation: the United States government knew in November that a pubic health crisis in China was emerging. Yet they did zero to try to prepare the American public. Coronavirus did not have to get this bad. It could have been contained.
BUT, The WuHan's 1st case was diagnosed in December. How could the U.S. spy agencies collecte the intelligence in November? Did they release the virus?
This is what the whole world should be talking about. We’re distracted with the deaths and they are now at war with the world for bringing the virus back to China. They have an agenda and ChinaMustExplain ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied ChinaIsAsshoe
Ask tedlieu . His handler's would know.
And then POTUS moved to FL. Been saying this all along. 1+2=3!
realDonaldTrump
Yes, intelligence satellite images show a Chinese man eating a Horseshoe bat in a wet market in Wuhan, China. He was dunking it in sweet & sour with a little soy sauce and was wearing a F liberals hat.
But numb nuts didnt listen or care
Doomed to fail with this president.
Ok, Comrade.
Bullshit.
And then they were too busy bashing China, instead of protecting American people’s health...
From the moment anything was mentioned, China refused our help.and downplayed it.eventually let WHO in, they declared a LOW threat Navarro memo 1/29...1/31 the China travel ban HE TOOK IT SERIOUSLY WHILE YOU CALLED HIM RACIST
So the CIA saw some activity at Chinese hospitals. They were unable to decipher it. They provided the president no contemporaneous assessment or report, and now they're leaking this info to discredit the president? Damn, you boys suck at this shit now.
Now that the intelligence agencies have the info in November last year, Why is there an outbreak of epidemic in the US now?
Fake news! The three 3rd rate reporters who published this are “ enemies of the American people”
fake news
Richard Burr Republican head of the Senate Intelligence Committee was too busy tipping off fellow insider politicans....Democratic and Republican in private closed door meetings to sell their stocks, rather than protect our people
BrendaWeese Ok Spooks
MSpadine so? nbc news is an alt left propaganda outlet. nothing more.
Well,..we can be sure U.S. Spy Agencies directly informed President Trump... ..at the same time that they were continuing a coup attempt to remove him from office. 🙄 LOL
The article is dated April 9, 2020, 6:43 PM EDT.😯
So the U.S. put spies in other countries to steal. That is a proud thing now? That's why these media speak it out loud? To tell other countries that you've got spies in us?
Nbc=national broadcasters for china.
If this proves to be true, this is enough ground to heavily sanction China and file a case against China at the international court. The damages, horror, and pain caused by COVID-19 is just unimaginable.
That can't be right because the WHO claimed at that time there wasn't one.
Yea! We like it raw!
So what was the use of that intelligence?
From November to mid January, the socialist Democrats had the Congress and the White House tied up with the impeachment hoax. Thank you Speaker Pelosi for giving the Chinese virus a good running start in the USA. 🗽🇺🇸
Yeah I’m pretty sure you guys did a story on it in November when it started and how fast it spread. Then it just disappeared
Since I have been speaking that CIA and other US Agencies have been following the Chinese over Impending Global Pendamic initial reports cracked by agencies still , Such valuable reports being Ignored by the State Officials
MaddieBarry8 Fake News. Only Fox tells the truth.
Are you sure?
Too much hidden facts across the china over CoronaVirus when WHO planning to send there delegations to get the facts and figures out over the mysterious deadly virus look Lacs of life across Worldwide realDonaldTrump narendramodi CIJ_ICJ
It never came from a wet market there was many people at the market said there was no bat's there.. It was man made plan & simple.
It is not the time to blame China or others. We must work together as world citizens to destroy the virus that was born in China. Some virus were born in Africa and Middle East. Blame all we want and who we want when the pan enemy is dead.
Made in China..
Same story every time.. They knew about 9/11...
Which Trump surpress Ed
Intelligence? I received messages and videos before 'intelligence' the West became a joke to the world.
FakeNews, this has been disproved by DOD and CIA. quotes three unnamed “sources”. As did ABC. Completely fake stories. Freedom of the press doesn’t mean freedom to lie. FakeNewsMedia should be prosecuted to the fullest.
This rewrite story NBC is a jumbled timeframe mess. An attempt to restore credibility fail. Notion of credible observable signs within China for an intel assessment in November is stretched into political accusations. Gulp, anonymous sources punk Ken again.
🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽
And now The meat markets etc all back opening like nothing happened. No change.
NBCfakeNews Hidin.g more of the t.r.uth Everyday! Libs are goin.g dow.n everyday! 🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽
I believe it.
Raw data has not been subjected to processing and is not considered reliable information
Rest of the world knew it Aug 2019
After closing the border with China did trump activate a pandemic team? NO. Did he check the stockpile of medical supplies? NO. Did he convene experts at WH to discuss pandemic? NO. Fact is after he closed border he went & played golf! He takes no responsibility. Vote trump out!
Very misleading tweet if you read the article. I worked intel for 25 years. Raw intelligence (tons every day) is unevaluated and often uncorroborated. “Hinting” is not an intelligence standard. There was NO WARNING ASSESSMENT from an intelligence agency.
This has been debunked MANY times as False information
Raw means not verified correct?
Not breaking
November huh? Is Trump’s late night unscheduled visit to Walter Reed related? Coincidence?
US spy
And Trump single handedly failed them and the US ended up topping the charts.
So US had already known since november 2019? why didn't US gov do anything?
I can’t believe nothing them nighas in the CIA say...which is really fucked up, bc if there ever was a time we really needed to believe them, it would be now...but after the historic lies they have told, it’s impossible to do anything but call them..liars
mission sounds expensive
Why is has this been retweeted 20 times in the last day?
Debunked.
We shouldn’t be spying on China, they are our friend and global partner, impeach trump now, spying is treason.
So trump already knew but didn't take action? Yet he blames and threatens WHO for all the that's been happening?
Everybody has 20/20 hindsight. Try looking forward for once in your life.
So the U.S. intelligence wasn't sure it was started in Wuhan, China.
In a rare Tweet, the DOI stated this was fake news.
Yet US spies don't find out there's a governance response crisis domestically. What a pity.
Your officials said Iraq had massive destructive weapon, your officials said Soleimoni was UN confirmed terrorist. Your officials lie all the time.
Tom_Winter Ah, I see they’re tweaking this story now that the previous version got officially shot down.
aravosis So...we didn’t know...or we knew but didnt know what to do...or we knew but didn’t care
Tom_Winter 1st it was a report and that was debunked ... now it’s raw intelligence ... keep throwing the spaghetti until something sticks?
Total fake news! Lies Lies and more Lies
“HINTING”.
Still pushing this lie.....
The boss was unaccessible.
Maybe it shouldn’t be so secret in the future
Do we never listen ?
Still spreading this lie! DNI and others have debunked it last week. A rare calling out of media...yet you choose to still spread lies. malicious FearMongering
Trump gets rid of hard working Intel officials, and denigrates the ones who stay. They warn him this was coming and he did nothing. 500000+ Americans now infected. Ultimate Failure - not protecting Americans. ap FoxNews cnn abc npr foxandfriends CBSNews wsj cnbc
This has been debunked for awhile
You lied about a report warning of a pandemic and the story got debunked immediately. Spineless...
Javno zdravstvena kriza je u cijelom svijetu, jer zdravstvo vodi politika a ne struka
Leave it to the USA to have intelligence but not the smarts to use it.
Americans are dying in thousands due to the incompetence and poor response of goddam Trump! Trump must be held responsible & charged with manslaughter for the deaths of 18000+ Americans! Shame on those that still blame China for this catastrophe! TrumpIsACompleteFailure FBR
Then why wasn’t it taken care of right away maybe we would have had this virus killing people we work too slow compared to other countries why
It was shared by a special Canadian intelligence group. Guess what the American response was but your first 1000 guesses don’t count.
I think NBC is pro-China.
What good was that it wasn’t coming from Putin.
CIA couldn't detect an epidemic. DeepStateIncompetence
So Trump knew about the virus in November and still denied it until February? Now the US wants to do something about it.
Isn't the President required by law to at minimum give access to all intelligence briefings to the Gang of Eight? If so, wouldn't that mean Pelosi, Schumer, and Schiff would have known about any intel about the virus as soon as Trump did?
THANK YOU FOR THIS IMPORTANT NOTICE. GREETINGS FROM BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA.
DNI issued a statement that CNN had the information incorrect although it is the same information NBC has stated. Any reason the head of the DNI is not brought before congress to confirm when and to who the notice was given so everyone can know the truth.
So did I. I watched Wuhan develop. Early february I ordered my half face masks, P100 filters and fully enclosed goggles. I am fine. I am not sure why Trump wants you all dead?
Fake News
This NBC tweet sounds like Communist Chinese disinformation.
How does this explain inaction EVERYWHERE? The real story here should be China suppressed the scope of this virus and caused world governments to rely on anidocial evidence to make medical decisions. But your past coverage prevents this as it's now racist to point out.
This report is false, China did not know and not diagnose the Wuhan virus until December, the outbreak occurred after that. There is no way anyone could know this prior to actually diagnosing the viruses existence.
Not surprised, that’s what spies do they know what’s going on in the world
POTUS This is why you should read ALL reports & play less golf! You play far more golf than BHO & you cost the tax payers far more! Start doing your job better by reading reports. If you can't read fast enough ask the wife to read for you! Think about the voters for once not DT!
KINDLE UNLIMITED Lectura ilimitada Cualquier dispositivo: LInk: PROMOCIONAL!!!!
and facts matter ---trump isn't concerned with facts-his GOP indoctrination was complete- he is concerned only wit re-election and increasing his wealth up into the 100s of billions-increasing deficit-oh by the way cost of his family travel around the world -close to 50 billion-
Trump went to Walter Reed Nov. 18. Let that sink in.
A chloroquine?
If only we had a federal government who would listen. What other threats is trump ignoring and lying about?
I know people that had all the symptoms in December.
Trump said it`s fake intelligence, just a hoax. Look around now, what a mess.
This story has already been debunked...can’t believe people fall for their crap.
Is it time for our farmers and hunters to stand and meet at the town green?
Oh-My-God-Omniabsolute=Gravitational-Constant: Thus USA's🇺🇸 Intelligent isn't inepted but if information isn't active upon, abeit there is an internal-reason WHY. (ethereal wisdom, acumen & wakeup USA🇺🇸 Government).
And what could be health crises? Lack of cough syrup or no condom ?
I've said all along that this pandemic seems like a self-inflicked wound. It would not be historically unique for China to do something like this. Their leadership has purged their citizens, through various forms of governments, for centuries....
I knew it was BS that the WH didn't know a long time ago. It didn't matter if it wasn't considered a 'global pandemic.' The U.S. should have been prepared. Shouldn't we have been already? What about all the preach of 'biological terrorism' all these years?
A new study found that 2019-nCoV has many patterns of mutation in its genomes that differs according to regions, showing it's not helpful to attach a country to a virus. As we deal with the virus, science is the only way and politics is not useful at all, argues Tom_Fowdy.
🙄
How on earth could a spy from the US know about the virus even before it was reported anywhere in China as a new virus? That doesn't add up at all.
😂😂😂 ABC vs
US will still do nothing until 2000 people die within a single day, even though China predicted this virus 5 years ago. Trump has more important thing to do. If not this virus, how could he keep his next 4 years safe.
11/9 AGENTS=COVID 19
If they had been more interested in spying on the Chinese rather than trying to overthrow the President of the United States by supporting the DNC's failed impeachment farce, people wouldn't have died needlessly.
Raw intel. WHO said no human to human transmission. Try to use this to blame Trump some more. B.S.
Hey NBC what about investigating what WHO knew and what China hid?
'Raw'...…..'Intelligence' FakeNews Pentagon blew this out of the water DAYS ago. But no. MSM interns in their tinfoil hats keep it going.
Hong Kong protests. Great time to unleash a deadly virus. China set everyone up. Diabolical.
'Experts believe the coronavirus outbreak began last fall in a seafood market in Wuhan.' This was ruled out even by Chinese 'authorities' 2 days ago. It was a bat virus. The seafood market didn't sell bats. The lab in Wuhan specialized in bat coronaviruses tho.
So just sorta fake news from unnamed sources. Okay
TRUMP AND ALL FOR HIM SHALL HAVE NO MERCY WHEN THE TIME COMES ALL WILL SUFFER LIKE NO OTHER HAS
We all know when it comes to intelligence Trump avoids it...
Yes once again intelligence community under valued and discounted as not of priority value or national interest.
TRUMP IS GENOCIDE THE PEOPLE WE NEED TO GET THE TRIBUNAL IN ON THIS AND HOLD A LIVE T.V PUNISHMENT ON THIS SOB
Why did they know there was an outbreak in China in November the CHina government knew it by the end of December.the lancet concluded from the pathology that the first infection was probably in November, and it just inference but the us intelligence agency knew there was a virus
Lockusdownnow NOVEMBER? YOU THINK ITS A COINCIDENCE THAT JOHNS HOPKINS, THE CDC, AND THE WHO WORKED WITH CENTER FOR HEALTH AND SECURITY ON A PANDEMIC EXERCISE FOR 'A CORONAVIRUS' NOV 4TH.... SLIDES SAY OCTOBER....
I know this is important but the problem is much bigger than this. Not November, but January 30, a global emergency is called by WHO and then we enter the 7LostWeeks The ambiguity of November is unknown, the certainty by January 30 is absolute. criminal
Heard that hinted at, and Pelosi knew before Trump but her faux coup was SO much more important than the health, safety, and welfare of the entire country‼️
But if NOW Wuhan and it’s Wet Markets are Open for Business, doesn’t that indicate China is not very concerned? Was COVID19 REALLY a Bat Virus? Are they privy to a cure? Are they lying? What’s going on OVER THERE?
That’s interesting.. a Harvard professor that chaired the chemical biology department was arrested in January for spying with the Chinese and his lab, supplied by the Chinese, was in Wuhan.
The time line of lack of action just gets worse by the day.
This has been debunked twice, yet NBC continues to spread fake news! Poloticizing a pandemic for political gain is not surprising from the Weinstein cover up network
Clear evidence of this white house WILLFUL NEGLIGENCE! The Lord cometh to pass judgement upon all, to convince all that are ungodly among them. All their ungodly deeds all their hard speeches!
Chinese officially published paper indicating the first found patient could be traced back to November 17th. But it's a new virus, do you expect any medical system to be able to react to/test it right away? First death was in Jan 2020. And China shared genome on Jan 12th 2020.
RussianAssets plant virus in Wuhan and ItalyCoronavirus
Did you reporters see this coming?
Raw? Isn't that what got us here in the first place?
This is no true. Read your own article. Last paragraph.
Hinting.. there's sand pebbles on your sandals, you must've gone to the beach. But you were playing with your kids at the sandbox.
Oh comeon. Knock it off..
Boycott China until they change that part of their filthy culture that is evident in those disgusting wet markets!! BoycottChina NoChina DogEaters
Just great! If we had known then we may have avoided this Virus but the President was too busy to have intell meetings.
An old woman predicted events2020
'It's not intel if it's not on fox and friends' A potus
Remember, 'unnamed sources' told NBC that Trump was a Russian asset. Turns out those were total lies. NBC is more than willing to lie to make the president look bad. You gotta be pretty stupid to trust them.
I worked intelligence for 25 years. “Hinting” is not an acceptable standard of an intelligence assessment or conclusion. 🤔 “Hinting” is CYA bullish!t that people only interested in 20/20 hindsight revisionism pull out of their files and trash cans.
Oh, my God, if you knew so early, why did you act so early?
But PontiusPilateTrump seeks to wash his hands and blame governors and WHO and China and... anyone but himself. Fitting that we loose over 2,000 of our neighbors on day Christ was crucified as Pilate washed his hands of the killing.
Almost everyone known
NBC building a conspiracy hoax bit by bit.
Weird I haven’t seen a story on this page about how China stopped the spread of the WuhanVirus from reaching any other province in China ? You would think the “media “ would want to know how they did it. You know to save the lives you pretend to care about
So why did the WHO say it was no big deal and keep the borders open?
And they warned our dotard dear leader but he told them to fuck off so he could hold his MAGA hate-fest rallies.
if there was a NORMAL president that could read, he would consult with intelligence & would have been started on this 5 months sooner
What's the point of spying if you sit on your hands til it hits America?
Another example of US intelligence being an oxymoron.
We have broken yet another record under realDonaldTrump: the loss of 2,108 innocent American souls in one day! We are a broken Nation; must get rid of this fraud and elect JoeBiden to heal this Nation and repair the damage 3.5yrs has caused!
They spy on us; we spy on them— the day we open ourselves up on all sides as a human species with Trust is the day we can all rest a little easier.
“Officials say” No they didn’t. You’re too far exposed.
This can’t be true the ODNIgov said so themselves 😂😂😂
Thanks for confirming that our intelligence departments are still inept and cannot protect America or be trusted.
TedrosResign
“The South China Morning Post, citing Chinese government data, reported that the first documented case of someone in China's suffering from COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, occurred Nov. 17.“——From which document? request for original source.
Isn't it the job of the Director of Intelligence to be informed and present it to the President?
Gee maybe if we would have had a pandemic response team for them to report to we wouldn’t be here🤔
That's what happens when the 'Man in Charge' belittles and discounts our Intelligence Community, over and over, and publicly!
Wasn’t this story already debunked by the DOD early today?
US spies，some people thought in the US the government didn't monitor them🙄
Keep posting patriots. Don’t let them shift the narrative!
That was denied by the director...
Of course there were signs, but just like 9/11 that were ignored. Anyone who believes otherwise is truly naive.
.... according to a third cousin of a friend of mine who heard it from a college roommate who now lives in Bulgaria 🇧🇬
That even should have been the work of the intelligence service to collect information about the health crisis. What about CCP? What about WHO? Are they comfortable in China's pocket?
When the President is too busy making up and tweeting childish names of his foes and golfing these important things get missed.
not understood because they were busy with other things....
F.......g fake news! Spreading this is far worse than this🦠
U.S./FEMA was stockpiling huge amounts of body bags and plastic coffins in November 2019. Coincidence? Not.
You are pathetic. Truly. Very.
I knew about it and it's potential to become a global pandemic in November. No big secret.
Thankfully we all went to the big parade in Chinatown to combat racism
that was a flu warning from Wuhan, a different one.
Lmao ODNIgov said this is a lie. I’ll take their impeccable word over the retraction capital of the worlds
So is it China or Europe?
America has todo some soul searching: Do we really want a man at the helm of power who makes decisions on who lives or dies based on which State Governors have been nice to him? Do we really? That’s what happened in Colorado, Michigan! We’re not Caligula’s empire, this’s America!
