Freedom requires a price to be paid by every generation
1. While most of America remains blissfully uniformed by our establishment press, the world's two greatest superpowers are being manipulated by Dark Forces inside and outside our government, into a major military confrontation that no country wants, and no sane person would ever want.
2. I have no role in the Trump Administration, but over a long career in the active uniformed military, specifically military intelligence, I have made it a point to cultivate many sources of information around the world. From what I can piece together, I want to share my deep concerns about who is behind this march to war, and my recommendations for how our nation and the West can avoid a major military confrontation with Russia.
3. I believe that the American Deep State is staffed by those with a deep, visceral, and irrational hatred for Russia, and these persons have conspired to box in President Trump's decision making through the Russiagate Hoax. During the time the Soviet Union was expanding and infiltrating our government, I was an outspoken anti-communist, but, despite the lies told by our Deep State, Russia is not the Soviet Union and Putin is not Stalin. Even today, years after the Russiagate Hoax has been exposed, President Trump's efforts to bring peace are met with resistance. The Establishment Press, deeply influenced and even sometimes controlled by our Deep State, labeled President Trump and those who work for him "Putin's Puppets" to goad him into taking unwarranted and aggressive steps against Russia. These voices from the establishment press reflect the views of the Deep State, not the American People, and not the MAGA movement, and should be completely disregarded, if not mocked.
4. During almost all of the post-World War II period, and certainly since the establishment of the CIA in 1947, these unelected dark establishment forces have acted to destabilize the world, bringing death, famine, assassinations, violence, coups, riots, revolutions, and destruction to our planet. Currently, these forces are working to provoke Russia into a major --- perhaps a final --- military conflict with the West.
5. This provocation has many forms. Most recently, it involves the surprise drone attack on the Russian federation strategic arsenal, said to affect 40 bombers, or about a third of Russia's strategic bomber fleet. Since Russian and American strategic bombers are generally required by agreement to be visible to satellite surveillance, never before has anyone engaged in an attack on these visible targets. If Russian bombers can be attacked with impunity, so can American bombers. By this action, the Ukrainian Government has not just weakened Russia, it has jeopardized America. Thus, those in the Ukrainian government who ordered these strikes have made themselves enemies not just of Russia, but of the United States. Making matters worse, this unwarranted attack was followed by Ukrainian attacks on the Kerch Strait Bridge connecting Russia and Crimea.
6. I do not believe that the recent escalation against Russia's strategic bomber fleet was authorized by or coordinated with President Trump. Rather, it is my view that the Deep State is now acting outside of the control of the elected leadership of our nation. I believe that these persons in our Deep State are engaged in a deliberate effort to provoke Russia into a major confrontation with the West, including the United States. The time is now to take aggressive action against those who abuse their authority as government employees to manipulate the elected leadership of our nation.
7. Growing up in an Irish Democrat family in Rhode Island, I was only about five when John Kennedy was assassinated, but our family viewed John Kennedy as a hero. Not just for my family, one of our most beloved Presidents, John F. Kennedy, in 1961, found himself manipulated by earlier versions of these same Deep State forces when they attempted to manipulate President Kennedy to launch Air Force planes to attack Cuba after the failed invasion, resulting in an open conflict with both Cuba and the Soviet Union. In President Kennedy's June 1963 speech at American University declaring his vision of peace with the Soviet Union, he declared himself to be an enemy of this Deep State, which by all indications then retaliated by participating in his assassination five months later in Dallas. The American Deep State is not only a threat to peace, but a threat to the President.
8. President Trump has already faced at least two assassination attempts. If there is one person who I believe has the character and love for our nation to rid our government of these forces, it is President Trump. After the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, President Trump displayed the type of personal courage that those of us who have served in the military deeply admire. With great affection for the President, I now urge him to risk the wrath of the Deep State once again by taking actions to purge enemies of our nation within our agencies and departments. Removing such persons from power is absolutely necessary to achieve the type of peace he described during his campaign and the beginning of his Administration.
9. Once President Kennedy realized he was being manipulated, and opposed because he sought peace, he removed Allen Dulles as Director of Central Intelligence, and several of his assistants. I urge President Trump to immediately clean house of any in government who had prior knowledge of or participated in any way in the Ukrainian attack on the Russian federation strategic bombers, and to go further by immediately declaring an end to any support for the Ukraine War. President Trump is right: this is not "his" War. I urge him to recall all open and covert military and other government personnel from Ukraine. I urge him to have all those personnel removed and interrogated by the FBI or the military to learn of their possible participation in unauthorized military activities. Any Americans who have aided and abetted Ukraine's attacks should be investigated for violation of American law, and prosecuted as necessary.
10. I also believe President Trump should distance himself from certain Western leaders such as German Chancellor Fred Merz, who have acted and spoken in an irresponsible manner with respect to the Ukraine War. If there are countries in Europe who wish to provide military assistance to Ukraine, that is their concern, and they should not be surprised by President Putin’s response to their actions against Russia. If such leaders want to lead their nations to war by persisting in such irresponsible behavior, they will go it alone.
11. I urge President Trump to also distance himself from demonstrated war mongers in our own government, chief among whom is U.S. Senator Lindsay Graham. Those who love wars fought by others are no friends of America, and have no entitlement to be friends of the President.
12. Finally, I urge the American people to stand prayerfully and resolutely with President Trump as he cleans house and acts in pursuit of the type of peace which President Kennedy embraced. Peace is not the normal state of man. Freedom requires a price be paid by every generation. It is time to recommit our nation to both.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
The Ukrainian attack on Russia’s nuclear triad activated the Dead Hand system. Russia may have just turned it off. Hope so, otherwise, we may all be dead with the next Ukr attack.
I don’t know if your list wants other authors, so just pinging you to this one. Of course Zeepers won’t like this one.
Someone needs to grab Zelensky, put him in restraints, and hand him to Putin to be tried for war crimes, he has committed many.
Didn’t know we were wearing “uniforms”
Didn’t know we were wearing “uniforms”
Childish article in many ways.
I trust in Trump. He has exhibited zero evidence of being manipulated by dark forces. Far from it. He has shown no hostility toward Russia or Putin.
Ukraine got some drones into Russia and blew up some planes. No evidence of “dark forces” working on Trump.
Trump has reported that Putin is going to retaliate, and Trump didn’t offer an ounce of criticism.
I’ll follow Trump, not Flynn.
If his point is that JFK was a hero undermined by “dark forces” then he missed decades of revelations that JFK wasn’t all that.
BTW JFK was killed by a communist who defected to Russia.
Agreed, excellent article and advice…
A necessary article!
Lord have mercy and save us from war and those who promote war!
Yeah we’ll all be dead if Ukraine attacks Russia.
Ok.
Thanks for posting. Gen Flynn and Steve Bannon have the same thoughts.
Bannon was pondering as to why CIA Director John Ratcliffe has been strangely silent regarding the 18 month old plan by Ukraine to move drones far into Russia to bomb the planes.
Just maybe that plan was a CIA plan executed during Biden’s administration.
Trump is not manipulated by dark forces, but there are dark forces inside and outside of the US government, that would like to manipulate him.
Lindsey Graham and Sen. Blumenthal visited Ukraine shortly before the drone attack. Hmm hmmm
And you believe that Kennedy’s assassination was what was put out for the public. My my, you are guillible.
I should have fixed the typo, didn’t notice it.
Uninformed, obviously.
Russia will not attack the US. Putin and President Trump have a working relationship. Someone helped Ukros do this, and it was not with Trump’s knowledge or authorization, and Putin knows this.
Just maybe that plan was a CIA plan executed during Biden’s administration.
~~~~~~~~
The CIA is nefarious.
I am 72 yo. I am beating witness, that every generation since the last truly patriotic war,i.e., WW2, every generational decade has picked a fight with anybody that gets their attention.
I do blame Congress, smiling and saying ‘yassuh’ to the military contactors, for providing untested gear, and providing the scenario for proving out the gear.
O, befo ah forgit, I am a Viet/Cold War vet.,
Russia/Putin frequently employs (and Flynn brilliantly redeploys it) the threat of World War III or nuclear escalation as part of its global disinformation and influence operations. This strategy aims to:
✅ Deter Western Support for Ukraine
Russia’s messaging—via state media, official statements, and coordinated disinformation—warns that increasing Western military aid to Ukraine risks uncontrollable escalation. This serves to:
Frighten Western publics into opposing aid.
Influence policymakers by raising the political cost of intervention.
Divide NATO and EU by targeting risk-averse members.
✅ Portray Russia as a Cornered Victim
Russia often frames itself as existentially threatened by the West to:
Justify aggression as “defensive.”
Rationalize nuclear rhetoric.
Shift blame for escalation onto the U.S. and its allies.
✅ Exploit Fear and Confusion
Fear-based disinformation helps paralyze opposition through:
Propaganda on social media and fringe outlets.
False narratives linking minor actions to global war.Misrepresenting Western intentions to stoke panic.
✅ Target Audiences
Western Europe: Susceptible to anti-war narratives.
U.S. electorate (FR, cable TV etc): Exploiting partisan divides.
Global South: Framing NATO support as imperialist hypocrisy.
✅ Historical Echoes
This mirrors Soviet-era tactics used to manipulate Western peace movements during the Cold War.
+++Russia uses the specter of World War III as a psychological tool to weaken Western resolve on Ukraine, manipulating perceptions in democratic societies through fear and disinformation.++++
Q: Does anybody dare call Russia ALSO a “war pig” on this forum after the massive amount of civilian deaths in Ukraine for three years, and even civilian area is being hit as I speak in Odessa and elsewhere?
I do not know who would be the loser in a war between the US and Russia, but I do know that China would be the winner.
“Dark Forces”.
He knows who these dark forces are? Do they have names? Do they live somewhere?
Flynn has turned into a Bad Hannity.
Name names.
“BTW JFK was killed by a communist who defected to Russia.”
LOL, no, I kinda think there is so much evidence to suggest otherwise.
What’s interesting is Oswald was the first attempt at a Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. It never really clicked with the American public.
The Deep State just about pulled off the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax on Trump, but failed in the end.
The Russia hoax that appears to be working is goading Russia into war with Ukraine. The next step is to set the stage for WWIII. That little pervert Zippy came close to pulling it off with the latest drone attack on Russian bombers.
The only thing for certain is the United States has zero business giving Ukraine money or munitions for this NATO/Neocon war. Let the EU fight their own war. We have enough internal problems.
