If it’s true I assume the CIA knows. Castro had/has living relatives in Florida, it would presumably be easy to pull DNA from a drinking glass or laundry at the White House after a diplomatic visit. Doesn’t mean we would know, but if it’s true I expect the public will find out sooner or later.

In the US the secret service will always have one or two people assigned to collect and destroy all DNA left behind on napkins or glasses by the president. I'm assuming it's the same for other western heads of state.

If definitely isn’t. Perhaps for Russia and China, but leaders of second/third tier countries don’t have security teams capable or willing to do that kind of cleanup.

I would give long, looong odds that CSIS is not doing this and never will -- basic functionality as an intelligence service seems pretty far beyond them, there's just no way that they are worried about somebody going CSI on the PM.

I could 100% imagine starting that program just to have somewhere to shove the dead weight career-climbers any high prestige organization has to deal with. Same reason spec-ops has a bunch of do-nothing posts for officers checking "did a stint in spec-ops" off the list.

Let them wipe forks for a year and put "personal bio-data security lead for PoTUS" on their resumes for when they go into corporate security.

Why would they care, and why would they ever make it public if they knew?

What is this place?

This website is a place for people who want to move past shady thinking and test their ideas in a court of people who don't all share the same biases. Our goal is to optimize for light, not heat; this is a group effort, and all commentators are asked to do their part.

The weekly Culture War threads host the most controversial topics and are the most visible aspect of The Motte. However, many other topics are appropriate here. We encourage people to post anything related to science, politics, or philosophy; if in doubt, post!

Check out The Vault for an archive of old quality posts. You are encouraged to crosspost these elsewhere.


Why are you called The Motte?

A motte is a stone keep on a raised earthwork common in early medieval fortifications. More pertinently, it's an element in a rhetorical move called a "Motte-and-Bailey", originally identified by philosopher Nicholas Shackel. It describes the tendency in discourse for people to move from a controversial but high value claim to a defensible but less exciting one upon any resistance to the former. He likens this to the medieval fortification, where a desirable land (the bailey) is abandoned when in danger for the more easily defended motte. In Shackel's words, "The Motte represents the defensible but undesired propositions to which one retreats when hard pressed."

On The Motte, always attempt to remain inside your defensible territory, even if you are not being pressed.


New post guidelines

If you're posting something that isn't related to the culture war, we encourage you to post a thread for it. A submission statement is highly appreciated, but isn't necessary for text posts or links to largely-text posts such as blogs or news articles; if we're unsure of the value of your post, we might remove it until you add a submission statement. A submission statement is required for non-text sources (videos, podcasts, images).

Culture war posts go in the culture war thread; all links must either include a submission statement or significant commentary. Bare links without those will be removed.

If in doubt, please post it!
