The ongoing dispute between Lin Wood and Michael Flynn, Sidney Powell, et al, boils down to this:

When Rittenhouse went on Tucker Carlson's show and called Wood out for fundraising off him instead of helping him, Wood recognized that (correctly) as a HUGE reputational threat.
For all that anons *talk* about avoiding the MSM and not trusting Fox, etc etc, the truth is they're blown along by the winds of right-wing media.

Always have been, always will be. That was true even *before* Q ambled off into the sunset.
And we could probably stand to talk about that more! I think almost every analyst *knows* it but almost no one really puts it in the center of their analysis.

ANYWAY... Wood, seeing this threat, demanded that Flynn and Powell come to his defense with public support. They didn't.
Wood has now concluded that they, TOO, must be part of the Deep State plot and is lashing out against them.

So why wouldn't Powell and Flynn come to Wood's defense?

A) His erratic behavior & paranoia make him... maaaaaybe not someone you'd bend over backwards to help, y'know?
B) In Powell's case, Wood tried to throw her under the bus in a disciplinary hearing in front of a federal judge. (The bus ran both of them over, in the end.) That, TOO, will not engender intense feelings of loyalty.
C) Maybe they think the charge against Lin is legit.

Any or all of these could be true, but don't forget:

D) They don't want to align themselves w/someone who got dragged on the most powerful right-wing media outlet on Earth, bc what if the reputational damage *is contagious?*
TL;DR: This *very* gratifying meltdown -- seriously, you love to see it -- among the people who tried their damnedest to keep Trump in office as an unelected dictator wasn't triggered by the way Wood exploited Rittenhouse.

It's driven by Rittenhouse's airing of it on Fox.
SO MUCH of our political life -- including the stability of our goddamn democracy and the stability of the ANTI-democracy coalition that imperils it -- is impacted by Fox f'ing News. It's insane.

LIN WOOD UPDATE:

Wood just posted a screenshot purporting to show that retired general *and former National Security Adviser* Mike Flynn:

A) gets news from notorious white supremacist/Holocaust denier Hal Turner

and

B) always knew Q was a fraud.

h/t @2021_Karma; follow her. Image
I really cannot stress enough how bad the Hal Turner thing is.

Flynn was the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency before he became the Nat'l Security Adviser.

For him to be like "ah yes, this man who blames the Jews for everything? RELIABLE SOURCE!" is *pretty alarming.*
N.B. It is possible, of course, that the texts aren't legit. There's a hard cap on how reliable a source Lin Wood is, and the cap goes down quite a bit when he's talking about someone with whom he's enmeshed in a blood feud.

Which is almost everyone he's ever met, at this point.

HEY, GUESS WHAT THE REPUBLICAN PLAN IS IN 2024?

IF TRUMP LOSES, THEY'RE GOING TO SCREAM "FRAUD" AND REFUSE TO CERTIFY DEMOCRATIC ELECTORS IN ANY SWING STATE THEY CONTROL, REGARDLESS OF THE ACTUAL VOTE TALLIES.

This is why they're purging everyone who stood up to the Big Lie.
And yet... I literally have not heard a single nationally prominent Democrat *talk* about it. Not once.

Now, do I spend all my time listening to them? No, I do not. I spend my time monitoring the people who are *eagerly awaiting* the 2024 events I just mentioned.
So maybe the policymakers ARE talking about this in public and I'm just unaware of it. If so, please let me know.

But if I'm right and they're NOT discussing it, *why the fuck not?* People need to know what's up. Warning them in advance is very effective.

During the early days of QAnon, a lot of anons got all hot and bothered at the news that a Saudi prince named Al Waleed bin Talal had been detained by the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.

Surely this was the first gust of the Storm.

How's he doing today? Let's tour his megayacht!
This is the New Kingdom 5KR -- "New" because he recently bought it as a replacement for his OTHER megayacht, which was just called the Kingdom 5KR.

BTW, he didn't sell the old megayacht to fund this. He just reached into his spare-megayacht-change jar & used what he found.
Fun fact: the original megayacht, the Kingdom 5KR, was owned by Donald Trump before the Saudi prince picked it up.

Trump sold it during one of his bankruptcies; the prince picked it up.

Anyway, let's check out the bedroom.

HEY, YOU KNOW HOW EVERYONE WHO SPENDS ANY AMOUNT OF TIME IN CONSERVATIVE SPACES IS *SCREAMING* AT DEMOCRATS TO PUBLICIZE THE FUCKING THREAT TO DEMOCRACY, AND MAKE IT A CENTRAL POINT OF THEIR MESSAGING?

THIS IS WHY
AND WHEN THE REPUBLICANS SIMPLY REFUSE TO CERTIFY THE NEXT DEMOCRATIC VICTORY, IT’S GONNA BE A LOT HARDER TO RESIST IN THE STREETS IF VOTERS ARE STUNNED THAT IT HAPPENED.
BY THE WAY, DO YOU THINK IT’S AN ELECTORAL ADVANTAGE FOR REPUBLICANS THAT THEIR VOTERS ARE CONSTANTLY CONVINCED A COMMUNIST TAKEOVER IS IMMINENT AND ONLY VOTING FOR REPUBLICANS CAN STOP IT???

I fucking do! It’s a pile of ridiculous lies but an EFFECTIVE pile of lies.

You may have seen Q's posts described as "cryptic." That's not ALWAYS true -- some were just links to tweets or what-have-you -- but there's a genre called "stringers" that looks a bit like (MADE-UP EXAMPLE):

DSRH_2021_GO_GO_GO
FTCPTD_2110
Gloves off

Godspeed

These were great fun for bakers -- meaning people who parsed these posts for clues about what Q might have meant-- because they could comb the news for any event that had appropriate initials, or letters, or (if they were into that kinda thing) the same gematria as a given word.
A famous early example was "Bunker Apple Yellow Sky," which I SWEAR I will one day do a thread about or die trying.

The short version is: anons decoded the phrase as meaning "Aylesbury" after a plane and helicopter collided with each other near that location in the UK.
