Preview note 3) It hasn't been all work since 8:00 this morning. I made myself some coffee, and then, Anthony demanded one of his favorite Sunday morning breakfasts (or favorite anytime meal) finger-licking quartered grilled cheese sandwiches!
Preview note 4) The four pages of messy notes you see here are only the 1st half hour of the @GenFlynn interview. But, there's another good chunk of time looking up, following, and doing a small bit of live analysis over the references. Those will go into the thread...
Preview note 5) If you can bear to look at my ugly scratches, they might help you as you listen to General Flynn's remarks, as they capture most of the facts and statements he makes. Or...you might take your own much better notes, and if you do, please post them here!
Preview note 6) Which means I still have the 2nd half hour to listen to, and then the Joe & Mary Flynn interview. Not sure what my process will be yet, as I usually try to NOT tackle all that much study. I'll let you know as soon as I decide...
Preview note 7) I decided. I'll listen to 2nd half, and then Joe & Mary Flynn interviews later. The amount of research and analysis @GenFlynn's comments demand, along with references & sources need posting while still fresh. 2nd Pot of coffee first, and then, thread coming...
Preview note 8) I will, however, keep this preview thread running as I slowly proceed to the remaining interview materials. That will likely occur tomorrow.
Back in a bit, oh, and I'll link my thread here too, soon as I finish it.
This Lou Dobbs segment is from 6 November. It seems an eternity ago, doesn't it? And how how many news cycles since? Yet its clarity helps right now, these weeks later.
2) Funny thing, it came up in a search for General Tom McInerney. I just completed my studies of his segment of the WTW interview this morning, and was doing some research prior to this thread.
3) We won't be following specifics or details today. For those, I refer you again to the two video links above. No, we're going to look directly into the face of reality right now. And the reality is not pretty. It's the worst of our lives, and the worst of many generations.
Yesterday, we got through the first half of the WTW Interview focusing solely on @GenFlynn's guidance. That conscripted 70 tweets' worth of work on our parts. Today's work will be MUCH briefer.
2) In this morning's study, I only made it through just about 6:45 minutes, from 31:00 - 37:45 (or so). Assuming breaking news doesn't change everything, I'll pick up right there, tomorrow. You'll want to watch these minutes.
3) To lead into today's thoughts, I first want to review an idea I've discussed many times. Question: in the year 2,000, were box cutters prohibited on airplanes? I've never looked up the exact law, but that's not what matters. Let's imagine they were. So what?
So, not having seen the Bartiromo interview, I head over to Drudge and find two anti-Trump reports on it. They each calmed my heart. I get rid of all their judgement statements and just read the content reported. This one first:
2) It's obvious to me that the headline, and all their conclusions are 100% misleading. If you just read about what Trump did for the hour, you find an absolutely frustrated patriot leader, fighting for what is right.
3) This is the key quote from the 2nd article:
“We won the election easily. There’s no way Joe Biden got 80 million votes. There’s no way Joe Biden beat Barack Obama in the Black communities of various cities,” Trump said. “This election was a fraud. It was a rigged election.”
With leaders such as @realDonaldTrump and @GenFlynn, you never have to guess. Freed, General Flynn can now speak. So when he doesn't, take no action. When he does, listen and follow.
2) I truly hope you will all at least listen to the 1st half of the interview (I'll be listening to the 2nd half soon enough, but haven't yet), where General Flynn rises straight up to his former power and strength. Here are my messy notes.
3) Allow me a moment to share my reasoning for sharing. First, I'm a terrible penmen, and an even worse visual artist. Yet, for all my atrocious weaknesses, the process still succeeds. I have terrible eye/hand coordination. Mind fully engaged, my notes are even uglier.
In case you haven't, I do encourage you to read yesterday's thread. Today, we'll focus more deeply on the House itself, and the necessary function of Innocence in its creation.
2) To comprehend our mission, we need to embrace the command #WordsMatter. We also need to embrace the additional command #LogicMatters. Interestingly, when you look up the roots of the term logic, you logos, which has the meanings of both 'word' and 'reasoning.'
3) Allow an example. A dear friend of mine was discussing the laws and practice of face masks and said, "I guess it's just the perennial conflict between the rights of the individual and the greater good of the group." Oh, I was so tempted, but I resisted. I did not yield.
2) In his joyous tweet but cautionary tweet, General Flynn points us to an extraordinary passage from the Old Testament. I didn't realize that this is a very traditional Thanksgiving Day passage until researching it just now. Here it is, in full..
3) Let the sea roar and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice and all that is therein. Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the Lord, because he cometh to judge the earth. O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.
