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.
4) One of the great lessons my short life of political volunteering has taught me is that we MUST accept our own limitations and NEVER allow them to stop us. Embracing weakness as such, no excuses, we move forward and employ strength for purpose.
5) In this, I boldly put myself forward as your role model. Take action. Stop fretting. You can't look any worse than my messy notes do. No way. Yet, take action. Find your mission and engage with all you are, holding nothing back. Got that?
6) The second reason I share is this. It may well be that, if you can force yourself to view my ugly scratchings while you listen, it may help your listening to take in more than you would otherwise. I have captured most of General Flynn's points in my idiosyncratic way.
7) All that covered, we turn now to key points, supporting ideas, references and sources, and of course, further analysis. As I just did, you may want your 2nd pot of coffee. We're in for the ride here, friends. Last intro point, I will NOT be follow the points in order. Okay?
8) (Well, I'll kind of follow the basic flow, but will be bopping (A-Lula) my way along, happily random at will.)
In @GenFlynn's guidance, there is a single greatest driving theme. @realDonaldTrump will win. 1 - 10 scale? TEN!!! Trump will win. Trump will win, by a landslide.
9) Like the vertebrae of your spine, every time General Flynn returns to the topic of Trump's victory, you have the (to mix metaphors) stepping stones of his counsel for us. I don't know if he selects themes consciously like that for this reason. It's coming from his heart.
10) No person could possibly, honestly listen to his words and judge them as dishonest or faked. General Flynn's picture should be in the dictionary as part of the definition of the term "heartfelt." Why is that just one word? It should be two. Heart felt. That's @GenFlynn.
11) Not emphasized quite as repeatedly or strongly, General Flynn has a set of facts he presents. He has seen the evidence and KNOWS it to be beyond compelling, it is rather, completely overwhelming and could not possibly offer even the shadow of a doubt.
12) Here are the states where he boldly declares victory:
1) Pennsylvania 2) Arizona 3) Georgia 4) Nevada 5) Michigan, and 6) Wisconsin with a brand new 130,000 fraudulent ballots just found.
He calls that somewhere between a victory of 350 - 400 Electoral College votes.
13) All these facts emerge into a larger whole called "paths to victory." We'll talk about those more in a moment, but listen especially for the rising thrill in his voice as he describes them! Quickly though, we go back dark again. The greatest fraud in American history.
14) Circling inside this topic, suddenly we hear about 20 years of China's grand strategy. Wow! Okay, if you follow me, you know this is coming. I know WHY he picked that timeframe and I'm going to tell! Buy this book! It's from, ahem, 1999.
15) We're going to linger here. If you already own a copy, then buy a copy for someone whose mind you respect and give it to them. Start a patriotic discussion group and read chapters out loud together. Work it through. This is the most important book by an enemy since...
16) Since Hitler's Mein Kampf. In this interview General Flynn warns us, when your enemy tells you what they're going to do, you had better listen, plan, and be ready. Consider this document in that light.
17) But as critically important as their 2019 declaration of war is, Unrestricted Warfare is the more important document. I can't spend the time to extol its phenomenal power, brilliant thinking and writing, and beyond compelling force.
18) I can tell you it is beautifully written, wonderfully conceived, and that I rank virtually in a class of works that ONLY Sun Tzu leads. Don't let me get started about Sun Tzu. Just let me tell you, again, buy this book and read it, and read it well, and then read it again.
19) Let's pause a moment and see if we can't pull some of these apparently random pieces together.
What's the story so far?
Alas, I just remembered, General Flynn gives us a war college throwaway line about 6 phases of Chinese Warfare thinking. Gotta turn there now...
20) I don't mind confessing that bothered me. Why? Well, I've never been to military college, and for all my work on China and warfare, I'd never heard of it before. I hate that. Why didn't he ever mention that to me, before? Oh well, learning never ends.
21) I'm not sure that the article, or the diagram it offers us (highlighted in #19 above), is precisely the same thing General Flynn has in mind, but it's close enough, I'm very confident now. I had to turn my head and squint my eyes a bit, but I was able to decode it.
22) Here's a little help. On that diagram, Phase 0 is called "Shape." I'm guessing that that is what General Flynn referred to as Phase 6, Kinetic, or knocking on your enemy's gates. That is, per Sun Tzu's guidance, the very last thing you ever want to do in war. Fight last.
23) A single quote will cover us here:
“Ultimate excellence lies not in winning every battle, but in defeating the enemy without ever fighting.”
And then, almost without thinking about it, General Flynn gives us one of the greatest lessons we might ever learn. It is...
24) All the previous 5 Phases are about...
Wait for it...
Information.
Holy Beijing, and Hong Kong thrown in, I would NEVER have come up with that. Never, mind you. It's embarrassing, but true. Never.
25) In a face saving effort let's try to apply:
1) Deter - Deterring Activities
Just one example. Give your enemy the INFORMATION that you're a friend and DETER them from preparing.
2) Seize Initiative - and isn't it interesting the diagram maps out Activities for each Phase?
26) Are you familiar with the Confucius Institutes in American Universities? What about the most sophisticated Spying operations in human history snagging all our technologies? The two are intimately tied. Check it out:
27) Just throw in a bit of Industrial Espionage and Enforced Technology Transfers, and how could you possibly doubt the genius level strategic advantages the Chinese have mounted up these decades of Seizing the Initiative Activities?
And follow the INFORMATION trail, too!
28) Phase 3 are Dominating Activities.
Here, think the World Trade Organization, Most Favored Nation Trading Status, and also, globally the Belt and Road Initiative. You MUST know about this!
29) We're told that the Game of Go is one of the oldest games in the world. You can NEVER understand Chinese strategy without at least a slight idea of how that game is played. It is being played against America as we speak.
30) Phase 4 - Stabilize - is precisely what we saw during the Bush 41, Clinton, Bush 43 and Obama years. Every aspect of the deterring, seizing the initiative and dominating activities were stabilized during all 4 presidencies. And where does that leave us right now?
31) We are now 4 years into their ultimate attempt to Enable Civil Authority. Mind, not our Civil Authority over ourselves! No. THEIR Civil Authority OVER us and with a single grand objective. It is the complete and utter destruction of our Democracy and Constitutional Republic.
32) Let's go back to the Gave of Go, for a second. First, you want to surround territory. Second, you may also enclose it from two sides. Think show up from the outside, but simultaneously show up inside. Outside in and inside out. It is the inside out that is the real key.
33) No need to fight at all (remember Sun Tzu), if you corrupt the ruling system of your enemy from within. That is what a Joe Biden Presidency embodies, in its final form. That is the threat we face, and we MUST understand our soon-to-be-Chinese-overlords if we allow it.
34) We haven't addressed the current corruption of our election yet, directly, and I think I won't spend too much time on it. But, can you see the stepping stones from 1999 here, by following the 6 Phases of War map we've laid out?
Taking a short break, and will pick up soon...
35) Back to work. Paul Scharre's article is, I think, a great introduction, but I could NOT disagree with his conclusions more strongly. There absolutely IS a right way to think about war. It's been documented since Sun Tzu, and can and must be known.
35) Further, even in the phase of his multi-dynamic diagram, he calls this too linear? Ridiculous. I hate it when an analyst presents a case, merely to attack it. He's right to present this, wrong to attack it. No more on that...
36) Let's turn back to General Flynn's remarks about the FAILURE of electronic and mail-in efforts by the end of the day, November 3. Knowing that President Trump had won is such a great landslide as to overcome all their previous cheating, a new phase of cheating was needed.
37) What do they do? Simply stop the count. Why? In order to fraudulently count the deficit and cover it with new types of fraud. To the degree I understand it, this is where the Dominion machines and their foreign servers, etc., come most effectively into play.
38) Not that there weren't countless (pun fully intended) other ways to defraud the vote too. But, here are machines that will tally anything you want them to, show up in the vote system, and then be gotten rid of, destroying any connection between count and vote.
39) The sad thing for Biden, China, and the Democratic Socialist Party of America (Amerika?) is that there are 100s and 100s of faithful patriots from both parties who will stand silently by and allow our nation to be rotted from within. The wool is no longer over their eyes.
40) So, with their sworn statements of witness, all of which is absolutely the vaunted, missing EVIDENCE!, General Flynn KNOWS that there are, we say again...
PATHS TO VICTORY
So much so that he has absolutely zero doubt of the outcome.
41) Oh wait! One more thing before we look at those paths. General Flynn explains that it is State Legislatures that certify their own final counts. He adds, as long as there are meaningful legal challenges, the will not, can not complete their certification. They won't.
42) Listen again to his supreme confidence rising, his frustrated irritation falling as he explains this. My favorite thing he ever said to me was, "Steady boys, victory is in sight." I wish he'd have added that to the interview!
43) Here's one analysis General Flynn has, I believe, considered:
"Presently, President Trump has 232 Electoral College votes. He needs only 38 more to reach 270, winning re-election. Six states have been legally challenged. However, the President does not need all 6 to win.
44) "President trump has four clear paths to victory.
Path 1: GA + MI + AZ = 43 additional Electoral College votes, for a total of 275.
Path 2: GA + MI + WI = 42 EC votes, totaling 274.
Path 3: GA + MI + NV = 38 EC votes, totaling 270.
45) "Path 4: MI + AZ + WI = 37 EC votes, totaling 269.
At 269 Trump/269 Biden resolution resides with the House of Representatives. There, all representatives must vote by state, each state receiving 1 vote. President Trump wins in that scenario."
#45 is such a magic number!
46) Here's one such user created map for your additional consideration.
47) So, be calm and of good heart. He tells us the right people are employing the right strategy to safeguard this election and this President. We The People spoke with a unified voice and we will NOT be silenced. We are NOT ready to allow this fraud to destroy our republic.
48) Hear the strength and historic power of his voice when explaining the meaning of the vote itself. No where else are ever actually and truly equal with the wealthiest person in America, as well as the poorest, as when we enter the voting booth. That is our equality.
49) Hear the historic roots of his principle:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,"
It is the very first and most important founding principle of America, and the ONLY such in all of human history.
It is our vote that expresses this.
50) Is that enough for today's work on General Flynn's 1/2 hour guidance? I think so. I hope so.
If not, please carry on. Your hearing is 100% as valuable as my own, and may be very different indeed.
By all means, please, sound off!
Thread ends at #50.
Just when I thought I was out...
I pull myself back in. Alas.
There was an absolute, more than anything else, most important point that I complete disregarded above.
THIS IS A COUP. So then...
I hope it won't take too long, but, after another quick break, we shall return, and finish up on the Coup.
Diligence, I say to myself. Diligence...
51) The home stretch.
Our host asks a simply brilliant question, referring to General Flynn's published statement, where he uses the term "coup." Here's the full statement.
52) A point of courtesy is well worth noting. The website where this statement is published is one created and run by @tracybeanz. Tracy is, as General Flynn has so frequently shared, running one of the most important parts of the mission to counter the coup. So...
53) Do check out her website, as well as scan @GenFlynn profile here for further information on topic. He calls her a true American hero, and I can readily attest to the same.
54) Here is the referenced paragraph, which I now quote in full:
"Never again should any family or individual be so viciously targeted, maligned, smeared, and threatened such has been the experience of my family and I.
55) "Not you and your loved ones, not me nor President Trump, our First Lady, and the Trump children. Stand with me today in renouncing this betrayal of trust that has burdened our nation and proclaim with one united voice across this land...
56) "...that we will never again allow the rightful power of the citizens of this country to be uprooted, undercut, usurped, or held hostage by a coup against our nation, a duly elected President or any future president of these United States."
57) Peel the onion with me:
Never again allow the rightful power of the citizens of this country to be
1) Uprooted
2) Undercut
3) Usurped
4) Or held hostage by
5) A coup against our nation
6) A duly elected President or
7) Any future president of these United States.
58) I won't attempt my usual efforts to tie down exactly what a coup is, or provide any examples. I do have to say, along with our host, it will take some very, very broken brains here to let this sink in. We're in the 5th year of a coup, and more.
59) General Flynn explains that the 1st 4 years were merely Phase 1, and that this Phase 2 has taken the coup to a totally different and new level. I will linger on that. Political opposition has always been a very dirty game. We can say that Phase 1 was the worst such example.
60) To be clear, the fight against President Trump's administration, with its intention at first to perhaps so discourage this, to their perception, spoiled brat, course playboy into just quitting, was indeed the worst dirty politics in American history. It set a new line.
61) Its 4-year, continuous and unstinting effort was to remove a duly elected President, and to undermine his power with no holds barred. We'd never seen anything like Phase 1 before. Never. But, there was something else going on, and it takes us back to China.
62) The indissoluble bond between Beijing and DC, the Chinese Communist Party and the Democratic Socialist Party of America did a Failure Analysis after 2016 and came to a new determination. There were NOT going to allow 2020 to go to the MAGA Movement and Trump, again, period.
63) I hate to do it, but I one last time, for today, have to remind you of the 20-year time frame General Flynn attaches to the lead up to all this, and to the great statement of Chinese Policy in the book Unrestricted Warfare. 2020 begins Phase 2.
64) It is perhaps the defining aspect of Phase 2 that, way, way beyond mere dirty politics, no matter how extreme, we are now in all out political warfare to destroy both our Democracy and our Constitutional Republic. The coup is no longer merely against Trump or even MAGA.
65) The coup is against our nation's very infrastructure of freedom, our very soul as a nation. The coup is retroactive. Consider. If this coup succeeds every ounce of blood spilled by American soldiers for freedom will be in that moment made meaningless.
66) I am not ashamed to tell you that chills run up and down my arms and spine as I contemplate the absolute erasure of all the sacrifice from Valley Forge to the reclamation of the ISIS territory.
67) Our Chinese enemies surely know that, their ultimate victory will not live up to Sun Tzu's highest degree of excellence. They know they'll have to invade us, eventually. The American spirit is just too strong. It will have to be broken by force. They know this.
68) Consider again the final Phase of their concept map: Theater Shaping. There are countless Military Sci-Fi writers ready to guide your terrified mind through these scenarios. They're some of the most brilliant minds and greatest analysts we have. Find them, and read them.
69) I simply offer Covid 19 as a single, pertinent example. Wipe out all freedoms in the great cities, weaken the very stock of our people, our herd, and how can this fail to aid in shaping the theater of conquest?
70) Yet, why fight at all if we really do just give up free of charge? That hope is the hope driving this coup. We end today, for real, on that note. This is the fight we have. We must join each other on this Field of Fight, and yet be steady, as victory is in sight, boys.
A true and real end to today's work, pushing 3:00 PM since 8:00 AM (with duly noted breaks...) takes place at #70.
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.”
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!
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.
