Inhaltsangabe

Foreword by Dr Sherri Tenpenny

What happens when a government can no longer prove what it did, what its officials knew—or who was responsible?

For more than twenty-seven years, federal records expert and whistleblower Don Lueders worked with the White House, Pentagon, Department of Justice, intelligence organisations and dozens of US government agencies. His job was to help protect the electronic records documenting government actions. But Lueders became convinced the system was failing.

Despite billions spent on technology, software and compliance, Lueders says he never witnessed a single electronic federal record successfully managed through its complete legally required lifecycle.
When he began raising concerns, he encountered institutional resistance. He approached senior officials, filed complaints with government watchdogs, contacted journalists and members of Congress, and ultimately risked his career in his efforts to expose the problem.

The consequences, he argues, extend far beyond technological failure.

When Dr Anthony Fauci appeared before congressional investigators examining the government's response to COVID-19, he repeatedly answered questions with the words: "I don't recall."

But why should government accountability depend upon an official's memory when the records themselves should provide the answers?

I Don’t Recall: A Government Without Memory reveals his battle to expose a system he believes has failed—and asks: without reliable records, how can the public uncover the truth and hold government to account?
