Exclusive from Gen. Flynn: 5 Lessons I Learned When the Deep State Came After Me and My Family
westernjournal.com ^ | March 8, 2021 | Michael Flynn

Yet to those of us who still believe in the immortal truths upon which America was founded, their so-called “progress” is alarming, to say the least.

Sadly, some will allow this alarm to grow into defeatism. They will turn their faces away from the battle before us in hopes of finding a position to retreat to.

To those who would prefer retreat or surrender rather than the fight, I ask you one simple question:

If America falls, where will you go?

Where will you go to find another nation that provides the opportunities and individual guarantees of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

Where will you find a nation whose founding documents guarantee a government of, by and for the people?

Name a place that offers you and your family the same or more than our United States of America.

The answer is simple: There is no such place.

In spite of our downward slide, America is still the best nation on the face of the earth. This is our land, these are our people, these are our cities, neighborhoods, and streets. This is our country.

Though the battle for the soul of America is fierce before us, we cannot afford to look away in hopes of finding retreat. There will be none.

Though I may sound pessimistic, I am anything but. God enabled me to endure a yearslong campaign by the left to destroy me and my family. They wanted me to serve as an example to anyone who would defy the entrenched bureaucrats of the swamp.

Despite their best efforts, I stand before you as living proof that victory is absolutely possible.

The very fact that we are gathered here today as American citizens free to speak and peaceably assemble should fill us with hope. SNIP

When dealing with the Deep State, never call retreat. you may be taken up into the meat grinder, but that is just part of the collateral damage, throwing yourself into the breach, that another may rise in your wake and carry the fight back to the declared foe.

Do not consider this to be “losing”. What is not a win, is a learning experience, harsh though it may be. Retreat, if not for purely strategic purposes, almost certainly results in losing, particularly when it is permitted to become a rout. Fleeing armies are no longer armies, they are blinded buffalo on a stampede, and those rarely end well.

The really good news is that this can still be addressed in our local electoral precincts. Though fixing the vote...the easiest route

The “image’ of the Left as an honest political wing in the USA has been driven by the media.

Since 1984 the control of media outlets has dropped from over 50 different organizations to just 6 today. The product of that consolidation is an ILLUSION of a “powerful Left wing”, a manufactured progressive consensus that has usurped political power it has no business with honestly. “honest” votes for Biden/the Left were 30-35 million. At most.

The problems originate in corrupted, local electoral precincts in deep Blue urban centers. These NEED to be cleaned. Nobody desires the dirty job. Part of “redistricting” projects, BTW, is to create regions and social environments permitting unfettered and unhindered electoral Fraud.

Think parts of cities where Republicans fear to tread. No bipartisan voting observers. If any Republican observers, or even voters show up,they are threatened. This is the beginning process of turning a Red state Purple.

This article provides a glimpse into exactly this process going on in Philadelphia in 2009

https://www.heritage.org/commentary/voter-intimidation-new-black-panther-style

There are more of “us” than “them” A whole lot more

Its all kayfabe. Its what they want you to believe, its what they want you to “feel”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayfabe

What the left has done, ever since the 1984 Reagan-Mondale blowout - (and Mondale was a “moderate” Democrat!) - is to start electoral fraud programs in the largest states to turn them from Red-to-Purple-to Blue. They realized they had no future otherwise. It started in California and New York.

This last election cycle local Texans managed to turn it around at the precinct level-their RINO Governor not withstanding.

Extreme involvement in your local precincts and making sure paper balloting on ELECTION DAY, with hand counts and recounts in a transparent fashion and setting with open audit trails available to the general public, among other measures-are key.

Its dirty, tough work and initially confrontational with the existing perps. As the above article illustrates, it will be dangerous. But it beats the heck outta the alternatives -which are bearing down like a runaway freight train

The left has focused on corrupting our local electoral process. They focus on the deep urban centers. This process of corruption is very active presently in Georgia, using Atlanta as its base, the last 2 election cycles. This process is seditious.

We the People have no future otherwise. These people INTEND to “rule”

The benefits of this process created the UniParty which is WHY this has been allowed to mature.

Good post.

Lesson #1 — Don't conduct sensitive diplomatic phone calls on your personal mobile phone while you are on vacation in a third world dump.

Lesson #2 — Don't plead guilty to a crime you didn’t commit.

If Flynn didn’t include these two among his lessons to be learned, then I wouldn’t waste my time reading anything else he has to say.

You know they said they would go after his son if he didn't, right?

1. I haven’t seen anything about that other than unverified claims in various media outlets. Please enlighten me.

2. Did his son actually commit any crimes?

If General Flynn was any good as a General, he would have had a following of retired operators that would do needed tasks.

ITEM---Gen Flynn's third brief made waves b/c it included texts between Obama's FBI analysts;
ITEM---the filthy Obama spy apparat knew the Flynn investigations were bogus, but were driven by partisan animus.
ITEM---One Obama FBI texter confessed they bought "professional liability insurance" b/c their illegal conduct might be exposed.
ITEM---This could be insurance fraud if the Obama spies falsified insurance apps, omitting their early commission of wrongful acts.

==============================

NOTE WELL: Gen Flynn was tapped by Trump to replace Obama's execrable NSA Susan Rice.......
Gen Flynn would soon be privy too all of Obama's illegal activities. Flynn had to be removed.

EXCLUSIVE CIRCA 2020 : Obama's Treasury Dept Spied on Gen Flynn, and the Trump Family, Dec 2015 and well into 2017, Says Whistleblower
The Ohio Star | 18 May 2020 | Neil W. McCabe / FR Posted by Erik Latranyi

Obama’s Treasury Department regularly surveilled retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn’s financial records and transactions beginning in December 2015 and well into 2017, before, during and after when he served at the White House as President Donald Trump’s National Security Director, a former senior Treasury Department official, and veteran of the intelligence community, told the Star Newspapers.

“I started seeing things that were not correct, so I did my own little investigation, because I wanted to make sure what I was seeing was correct” she said. “You never want to draw attention to something if there is not anything there.” The whistleblower said she only saw metadata, that is names and dates when the general’s financial records were accessed. “I never saw what they saw.”

By March 2016, the whistleblower said she and a colleague, who was detailed to Treasury from the intelligence community, became convinced that the surveillance of Flynn was not tied to legitimate criminal or national security concerns, but was straight-up political surveillance among other illegal activity occurring at Treasury.

“When I showed it to her, what she said, ‘Oh, sh%t!’ and I knew right then and there that I was right – this was some shady stuff,” the whistleblower said. “It wasn’t just Flynn,” the whistleblower said. “They were targeting other US citizens, as well.”

Only two names are listed in the whistleblower’s official paperwork, the others must remain sealed, she said.
The second name is Paul J. Manafort Jr., the one-time chairman of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
The whistleblower said the most senior staffers of Trump's 2016 campaign and members of Trump’s family were spied on. (Excerpt) Read more at theohiostar.com ...

====================================

AND THIS Obama also spied on Members of Congress, (Other reports says the USSC was also spied on).
The “Members of Congress” being spied upon by Obama could be a goldmine of info.
Betcha good money, Obama was spying on DEMOCRATS.
Did Obama need to know if Democrats were holding out on his share of the graft?

======================================

Obama’s Treasury Dept (where Obama calculatedly placed his COS Rham Emanuel in charge) regularly
surveilled retired Gen Flynn’s financial records and transactions beginning in Dec 2015 and well into 2017

<><>Why was Flynn targeted in 2015?
<><> What had he done to incur scrutiny?
<><> Did this begin with one person with a grudge against Flynn
<><> or was there more to it?
<><> Who started targeting Flynn in 2015 ?
<><> What did the Obama admin have on Flynn back then?

Does it matter? You think they couldn't put child porn on his computer remotely or something like that?

From the article.. "The great pamphleteer Thomas Paine eloquently wrote in his “The American Crisis” that “What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated..

Ok, but the story was when Flynn was “out from under” prosecution, he would “spill the beans and reveal everything.”

Where is it? I mean, I have see no big reveal from him on anything.

And yet Flynn, who promised to “spill the beans” on all the Deep State once free from prosecution, still hasn’t said anything.
