It doesn't work like that. There was public intelligence mid summer last year and we were running transports full of weapons to Ukraine back in December. This was all over paid up commercial intelligence feeds that investment companies have access to. You'd have thought they would have the same info at hand. It was damn obvious where we were heading.
Same as the rise of Covid 19 was reported as far back as November 2019 on the same feeds.
The problem is no one competent is at the wheel and the default policy is keep the spice flowing and hope the fuck the problem goes away and when everything goes to crap, blame it on "external factors" or something.
Edit: I think really it's "politically inconvenient" to have issues at some times so they hide them.

- iasay 4y agoTo be fair they tend to do that quite a lot. It's only the really large things we get to see and the shooting of ones own toes off.
- bambataa 4y agoWhat kind of feeds are you talking about? Surely the problem is that there are many things implied by the feeds and only a fraction of them come to pass?
- iasay 4y agoWe get intelligence feeds from various companies. I can't name them as we are under NDA but it's an aggregation of news, real data, analytics to build credible views of things that are going on and where they are likely to go. We have an internal analytics team who apply this to organisational risk and syndicate it out to whoever needs it. They are surprisingly accurate.
