William J. Burns

Anon has done some digging on William J. Burns in the past and has now updated the dig. Anon will just dump everything I have on him. His DS connections are many, including Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Carnegie Corporation of New York, World Economic Forum, International Paper (Think Ballots, they do), "Russia Matters", the Council on Foreign Relations, The Washington Institute on Near East Policy, Warren Christopher, Madeleine Albright and more. What, if anything, does Burns' WEF connection have to do with the notables listed above?

It's important to know there is the Carnegie Corporation and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. When digging on DS entities, it's important to look for tangents to and previous names of the entities.

Anon sees what looks like "Y" symbolism in the All Africa Logo. Anon Questions why 100 US security specialists used an All Africa platform from which to make this announcement. Below is the March 25, 2020 All Africa statement and sauce.

"Africa: Statement from U.S. National Security Professionals on the Urgent Need to Utilize the Defense Productivity Act Fully"

National Security Action (Washington, DC)

National Security Action

25 MARCH 2020

National Security Action (Washington, DC)

DOCUMENT

"The following statement was signed by more than 100 former high-ranking diplomats, military and intelligence officers and government officials."

"What the United States faces at this perilous moment is principally a public health crisis. As national security professionals and experts, however, we recognize that there are tools from our realm that would be useful and, in some cases, indispensable to alleviating the impact of COVID-19 and, above all, saving lives.

Chief among those indispensable tools is the Defense Production Act (DPA), which we urgently call on President Trump to utilize immediately to the full extent. The delay in doing so is a grave mistake.

The administration this week utilized the DPA on a narrow and limited basis, but America's public health professionals — as well as doctors and industry workers — continue to sound the alarm, citing the increasingly urgent and dire need for ventilators, masks, testing supplies, and other resources. Some private companies have been willing and able to scale up production — and admirably so.

But as governors and local leaders around the country are making clear, private efforts without more extensive government support are proving far from sufficient to meet the current and anticipated needs. Beyond questions of supply, the private sector lacks the ability to process incoming requests, prioritize the most urgent needs, and coordinate with other companies absent more concerted government involvement. That is precisely what the DPA is designed to do.

The DPA was written into law for a reason, and the equipment and supply shortages we face are just the sort of supply chain shortfalls the law was designed to address. Congress must ensure the full potential of the DPA is being leveraged in the midst of this crisis, and we applaud legislative efforts that require the administration to actually use the tools at its disposal in a serious way.

President Trump has said he would utilize the DPA in a "worst-case scenario." But the scenario we face today is already well beyond any reasonable standard for utilizing the Act. All the President will accomplish with additional delay is to place us farther down that "worst-case" trajectory.

If the ultimate objective is to save American lives, there is no alternative to utilizing the DPA immediately and to the fullest extent."

Anons can see a list of all of the signatories at the sauce above.
