What are people so passionate about the removal of this book and why did the CIA ever create it in the fist place? This seems out of scope to me. CIA could open source it then suggest someone with expertise in this topic take it over and get back on mission.
It appears this person made an attempt at taking it over [1].

The war on facts has entered phase two. Facts must now submit five years of social media history for verification.

All part of the crusade to reduce USA relevance and soft power. Sad to see, but understandable from the point of view of BRICS bros. They’re having a moment, to be sure.
