I don’t think people grasp just how dangerous psychological operations are. At their core, they are weapons. The point is to shift an entire population to one way of thinking. And that way is the way you want others to think. A psyop is a mental hijacking. This is not a wee🧵👇🏻
Psyops replace your own thoughts with that of theirs and make you feel you like it was your thought all along. Gaslighting is a form of a psychological manipulation. Repeated messaging another. Fear of being ostracized from a group is another. Cult leaders use these tools.
Conmen use these tools. Charlatans, The Music Man and the guy who sold Springfield on a monorail use these tools. They prey on those who are looking to believe in something. But when the military uses these tools. That’s an altogether different story.
Let’s say a charlatan bilks a church congregation. There are impacts to that whole community. People’s trust and faith could be damaged. They may feel duped or ashamed they were taken by a con artist. They lose money. Now imagine it wasn’t just a church.
Imagine it was the whole town, the state. Imagine it was enough towns and states to have a national impact. That reminds me of Mike Flynn’s refrain of ‘Local Action has a National impact.’ Mike Flynn is former Defense Intelligence Agency. He knows about psyops.
You know the thing about the Music Man coming to River City is he had to come from somewhere before. He was a traveling conman. I use this example to point out that we need to start looking at what is happening as though it were a show. A traveling show.
Only this traveling show doesn’t play sold out stadiums and arenas, this show plays churches. Mega churches. Evangelical Christian Mega churches. This show is taking its message to the masses and we had better be paying attention. Let’s think it through…
The church already has a built in foundational infrastructure of belief. An infrastructure upon which a psyop can easily be built. People have already put their faith in their pastor, in their minister. They have a community. They have their own beliefs. They trust each other.
Now here comes a show sweeping church nation and somewhere along the way, secular thought is introduced in the guise of the religious. Does the Bible mention guns? Not providing birth control coverage for employees? Not baking cakes for the fabulous?
When the group think begins to get all up in people’s politics outside of the ecosystem of the church, we need to start drawing lines. The religious right argues for the separation of church and state while opening their Senate meetings with a prayer.
Blaming others for what you do is also a psyop tool. One that may lead to the installation of a fascist authoritarian dictator. One that could end democracy. If one were to run a psyop against an entire nation, like say the US, using the infrastructure of the churches is ideal.
If one wanted a Big Lie to be believed by a large section of the population, spreading that message where people already believe is a no brainer. If you trust your pastor and they tell you that wearing masks is a form of tyranny you’ll think wearing a mask is a form of tyranny.
If you are told that an entire political party are demons, then you will listen to the person whose job it is as Christian pastor to protect the flock from demons. We need to start thinking about the churches as being used. They are the venue for the psyop.
Former head of DIA Mike Flynn is the headliner of these shows. The Elvis. Clay Clark’s Health and Freedom conference, the Reawaken Tour, the Reopen America tour is a traveling show with traveling performers. There is a group of speakers whose job it is to connect with people.
This is where the psyop is deployed. There might be a sermon from a pastor, a praise Jesus sing along and then all of the sudden there is a doctor giving a speech about how vaccines are bad. Then they introduce a veteran talking about voting machines and tyranny. Wait, what?
These traveling shows are seemingly using the churches as a platform to receive donations, spread disinformation about covid, further anti-mask and anti-vax rhetoric and worse still, undermine our democracy. And Mike Flynn is at every single one.
And there is something for everyone. This helps get the message out. There are veterans, doctors, nurses, psychological warfare operators. *cough*, excuse me? Did you say psychological warfare operators going on a disinformation tour to Christian mega churches?
Yes. Very much yes.
Meet Phil Waldron. I’m pleased to allow him to introduce himself.
What the hell does a former Defense Intelligence Agency, psyops Colonel bring to a ministry tour? Is he a pastor, too? Oh and yes, thanks for noticing, he’s DIA just like Mike Flynn. He was testifying after Rudy Giuliani about election fraud in Michigan in that video.
Now, let’s take a break here for a minute. Go get that second cup. When you come back, we’ll take a closer look at these shows.
Here is a flyer for a show at a church in Colorado Springs that hosted Mike Flynn and Joe Oltmann. Joe Oltmann…from FEC United… in Colorado Springs? What a coincidence, click the link for that thread.👇🏻
Here is a show in California at a church called the Influence Church. ‘Influence’? This Church is run by Phil Hotsenpiller. Did you know Hotsenpiller is now using the church as a springboard into something called American Faith News and Media?
At the launch of the endeavor in July of ‘21, the media network announced that the Influence Church would be hosting Mike Flynn and the ReAwaken America tour. Featured speakers included such paragons of pious as…Roger Stone? Oh, Joe Oltmann again.
Did you also notice that Sheriff Richard Mack was there too? What is a former Oathkeepers board member and leader of the Constitutional sheriffs movement doing on an evangelical church tour? Is he spreading the gospel of posse comitatus?
Here is a show in Grand Rapids Michigan at DeVos Place. And if you’re thinking DeVos? That name sounds familiar…yup, it’s named after Betsy DeVos’ father.
You may recall that Betsy DeVos’ brother is Erik Prince and well… I’m sure it’s nothing.
And why was Seth Keshel there? He did work for the company (ASOG) that provided the Antrim Report on voter fraud to Michigan’s election board. ASOG is lead by a guy named Russell Ramsland. You’ll recall Phil Waldron dropped his name in the video above.
Ramsland is also named in a lawsuit that Dominion filed against another member of this traveling show, Patrick Byrne. In that suit, Dominion alleges Ramsland ‘manufactured evidence’ to be used in a lawsuit. Hey, what’s Kraken Sidney Powell?
Seth Keshel also submitted an affidavit stating election fraud. Joe Oltmann submitted an affidavit stating election fraud. Have you noticed this thread isn’t about the church so much anymore?
Here is a show from San Antonio TX. This one has listed as a featured speaker Cindy Chafian. She was the permit holder for the January 5th Rally at the Freedom Plaza. nps.gov/aboutus/foia/u…
Here is a show instead of being billed as ‘ReAwakening America’, but ‘Reopen America’. Joe Oltmann was listed and you know he says he started the reopen movement because you read the thread about him earlier. If not, it’s up there somewhere. 👆🏻
Now let’s get back to the guy from the video above who said he was Army, and a psychological warfare expert. His name was Phil Waldron. He appeared in a show in Oklahoma (📌). The first if I’m not mistaken. Why do I keep coming back to Oltmann and Waldron?
It’s because of Rudy Giuliani. These shows include some prayer and some Christian music etc, but they also include a lot of messaging around election fraud and talk of tyranny. Remember when I said Dominion was suing Patrick Byrne? There is another lawsuit involving Dominion.
A Dominion employee is suing trump and others. Rudy has been deposed in that suit. The gist is Joe Oltmann was on an ‘Antifa call’ in which the Dominion employee allegedly said something like, don’t worry trump won’t win. Oltmann took this and parlayed it into ‘election fraud’.
Rudy tells us in his deposition that there was evidence of election fraud and that a source could provide it. That source according to Rudy was a guy named Olzheimer. This Freudian slip from Rudy belongs in the Hall of Fame. He meant the source was Oltmann.
Rudy was waiting to obtain this evidence from Phil Waldron who according to Rudy had been in contact with Oltmann. In the deposition, the attorney asks Rudy what Phil Waldron’s relationship to the trump campaign was. 👀 That’s some point of connection.
Let’s recap here. Joe Oltmann, the head of FEC (Faith, Education, Commerce) United was in contact with psyops expert Phil Waldron to provide evidence of election fraud to trump’s lawyer and both of them were appearing with Mike Flynn and Cindy Chafian at churches.
No matter how big you think the story of January 6th is, you need to double it. If you think the coup is over, you need to understand that a psyop is being perpetrated against this country. Key figures are pleading the 5th so as to not incriminate themselves.
Key figures are risking the minor criminal exposure of not complying with a subpoena. It is preferable to the major criminal exposure for crimes against our country. An insurrection is just that. Destroying faith in elections is just that. What Mike Flynn is doing is just that.
As difficult as it may be for some to even want to broach the subject of religion and religious freedoms we need to talk about it. We need to understand what is happening and we need to be there for those who will start to see it for themselves as this unravels.
And it is unraveling. The @January6thCmte seems to know what’s up. Every document they get, every deposition they take, they do so on behalf of Congress and Congress represents us. The people will know. The people will provide the dept of justice with all of it.
The📌 had to do with Oklahoma. If you think what you’ve just read about. Mike Flynn is something, wait ‘til you see this. See if you can spot the name Pastor Jackson Lahmeyer in any of those flyers.
If anyone is still reading this, you have my utmost gratitude. I thank you for your dedication and curiosity. If you’re so inclined, and would like to play a fun game with the flyers in this thread, see how many names you can match to the whiteboard.

We are in the Both Sides Era. For what seems the past decade, we have been subjected to both sides of the news, normalizing the weird, accepting the inappropriate, and moving on from the unforgivable.
Both sides are not the same.
A wee Sunday morning coffee🧵👇🏻
We have been so conditioned to Both Sides everything that we immediately fall into one side or the other. We are sorting ourselves based on memes and shallow thinking. Reporters complaining about hotel experiences due to the DNC running late, isn’t news. That’s a yelp review.
Have you noticed trump is on both sides of every issue? Probably not, because the “press hasn’t yet learned how to report on trump.” Why is covering trump any different from what they learned in journalism school?
Why not ask him about his incongruities? Or a follow up question?
Did you ever hear the phrase: “they have so much money they don’t know what to do with it.”? Not a problem, I’ve ever run into myself, but Project 2025 is just that. Billionaires want to be bankers. They want to sell off our governmental oversight to private companies they own.
Here is Project 2025. There isn’t one part of our lives this won’t touch. Think it doesn’t mean you? There is no provision to exclude from its effects those who vote for fascism so choose your candidate wisely.
Here is the part where they will abolish the federal reserve. It will be replaced by currency they can “create” and then lend out at their own interest rates.
“There is no place for political violence” has been a pretty common refrain throughout the weekend. It really got me thinking. ”Political violence” must be one of those “you know it when you see it” types of things.
Let’s see…
🧵👇🏻
Political violence strikes me as a visual medium but there are so many things that occur before we see the blood that I think might be political violence. Are we just numb to it? How do we define what is political violence and what is just violence? Why is it different?
Are Texas Gov Greg Abbott’s razor balls floating in the river, considered “political violence”? Kind of. I mean, the idea is people from south of the US shouldn’t be allowed to come here and take our jobs.
Political.
To deter from this, razor balls in the river.
Violence.
There’s been a lot said about Joe Biden since the debate. I, along with so many of you, watched it play out in real time as respected news transmitters read out ‘inside texts’ from knee jerk reactionaries.
After much thought, I won’t be voting for Joe Biden because he’s old.
🧵👇🏻
I’ll be voting for Joe Biden because he’s team democracy. I’m voting for ideas he represents. I’m voting for the team of people he can put together. I’m voting for my own interests and for your ability to vote for your own interests. I didn’t vote for him last time either, btw.
In 2020, I voted for a November 5th, 2024 election. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were the only options on the ballot that allowed this. I colored in Joe and Kamala’s bubble to keep the lights on long enough for us to have this election. Like many of you, I voted team democracy.
I am loathe to do predictions. However, there are some things you just can’t help but see coming. Project 2025 is a blinking red alarm and we all need to be aware of the stakes of this election. Please familiarize yourself with EO11246, be discriminating voters.
A wee thread🧵👇🏻
On September 24th, 1965 President Lyndon Johnson signed Executive Order 11246. EO11246 established Equal Opportunity Employment. It includes Non-Discrimination in Government. It includes Non-Discrimination Employment by Government Contractors and Subcontractors.
Focus on Non-Discrimination Employment by Government Contractors and Subcontractors. In Sub Part B under Contractor’s Agreements, contractors agree to not discriminate against employees based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Trust me…

The above is the oath the President takes at 12 noon on January 20. Typically, it is administered by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court but there is no law that makes that a requirement. You could have your gran do it. So why is it *usually* the Chief Justice?
For this thread let’s assume the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is there as a symbol of the law. Chief Justice Roberts in a way represents the Judicial Branch of our government on the day it grants power to the person who will symbolize the Executive Branch.
