1) This is a positively excruciating read. It's beyond horrible, and yet I profoundly thank both @SidneyPowell1 who posted it, and its author as well. It is necessary reading to understand how they coerced a guilty plea out of @GenFlynn, falsely.

2) This is NOT a long form thread. I may yet do one where I will carefully follow our author's thinking, point by point, and comment. Or, I may not. We'll see. I still have a #FriendsAndEnemies final part 4 to create. We'll see.
3) But in this tiny, short form thread, I have to offer just this one singular point. If you wish to compromise the demise of our Constitutional Republic, the facts and factors presented in the article above are not the sole source, but are absolutely major contributors.

Quick Review of #StagesOfGrief and our current #Coronavirus crisis.
In a few hours, I plan to complete Part 2 of my #FriendsAndEnemies series. Right now, we have to look again at the Psyop we're suffering, briefly.

2) If you have the time and interest, you may want to read back through (or read for the first time) the thread above. It has 30 posts and walks through how I learned about Psyops in 2016, and applied that learning to today's crisis.
3) It's most important focus, however, is right here:
1) Friends, please, please, open your minds and hearts to the seriousness of what we face. The most dangerous nation on earth has declared war against us. Please heed.

2) As an analyst, I am never shy in broadcasting where I was right. I also take all hits over where I have been wrong. There is a balance there. So, while I've said this countless times before, I must say it again. We are at war. We didn't chose this war. Our enemy has.
3) No enemy needs congressional approval or a declaration of war. It simply attacks us. Pearl Harbor was just an attack. There was no legal nicety involved. Japan attacked. End of story. So also now. China has attacked us. Stop dithering, or wondering. We're under attack.

#FriendsAndEnemies Part 2
If you haven't read it yet, Part 1 below is a long, slow, 85-tweet journey into your own individual, and your family and community strengths and weaknesses in the face of our current biological attack.
#FriendsAndEnemies Part 2
If you haven't read it yet, Part 1 below is a long, slow, 85-tweet journey into your own individual, and your family and community strengths and weaknesses in the face of our current biological attack.
2) In today's work, building on these strengths, and aware of these weaknesses we reach back 1,000s of years to contemplate what I call The Ancient Four Laws of Friendship and Enmity. My guess is that they come from India, about 2,500 BC. 
3) How were they discovered? We can guess that all ancient and emerging states, aggressively conquering or defending against invaders and marauders, all of them had to come to terms with these Laws. Sun Tzu tells us that war is a grave affair of the state, holding life and death.
1) I often defend Nixon and Kissinger for their alliance with China against the USSR. It was a brilliant move. However, I never defend their view of the world order, and Kissinger's op-ed piece lays out that same view again.

2) If you take the time to read his piece, you'll see that it is not even a veiled attack on the America First mission that @POTUS has effectuated. Kissinger is essentially saying it takes a world to protect an individual and a global economy for wealth and prosperity.
3) He tells us the world will never be the same and paints a bleak picture of how the world may be set on fire - his term - if we don't all come together to rebuild the globalism he has spent his life supporting. I don't begrudge him that, I simply disagree.

#FriendsAndEnemies
Let's begin with the following assertion: Any definition of friendship that fails to reference a definition of enmity - enemyship, if you will? - will also fail to guide us through life intelligently.

2) To capture the significance of my assertion, please click on and expand the fourth image above, the Yin/Yang Cue Ball. Please picture it, if you can, as your actual cue ball playing pool. See it rolling on the lovely green felt. See how each side chases the other in motion.
3) The truth of the Yin/Yang, that things alternate in cycles is indisputable. Here's my most recent Basic Business Thinking podcast, on the topic of Booms and Busts, which are following by successive Booms and Busts!
