Official narrative
Wikipedia cites the NIC website that:
- It leads the IC's effort to produce National Intelligence Estimates and other documents;
- It supports (and reports to) the Director of National Intelligence;
- It serves as a focal point for policymakers' questions;
- It contributes to the effort to allocate IC resources in response to policy changes; and
- It communicates with experts in academia and the private sector to broaden the IC's perspective.[1]
Leadership
Various chairmen of the National Intelligence Council have had deep political connections such as membership of Le Cercle (Fritz Ermarth) or the 9-11/Commission (Christopher Kojm).
Pandemic warning
In November 2008, the NIC warned world leaders that a global pandemic would hit the planet before 2025 [2] (paper released in cooperation with the Atlantic Council and others [3]):
“Other pathogens – such as the SARS coronavirus or other influenza strains – also have this potential... Outside the US, critical infrastructure degradation and economic loss on a global scale would result as approximately a third of the worldwide population became ill and hundreds of millions died.”
