2) Below, we'll consider the statement he posted yesterday. Before that though, there are a couple of things to cover. The first - and most important - is that, believe it or not, this website is a dream come true for me. I'll explain.
3) A critical point to remember is how, and 10 December 2016, outgoing POTUS Obama warned incoming POTUS Trump against General Flynn. This was unprecedented, unheard of in Presidential transfer history. It was 100% inappropriate. How dare he?
4) The answer is that Obama was hell bent on silencing General Flynn's voice. It has been a high order objective of the left to silence all veterans' voices, as veterans do not lean left, they lean right, conservative, patriotic, constitutional adherents.
5) What's more, veterans hold an outsized influence in America. We revere our veterans as the heroes they are. We listen when they speak. We proved that to a fine point in the 2016 election, winning well over 5,000,000 veteran votes more than in 2012.
6) By 10 December 2016, Obama and team already knew they'd lost every bit as much due to veterans' voices as by any other factor. Now, Trump gets the great majority of that credit. Second to him, though, was General Flynn's extraordinary rally cry to his fellow veterans.
7) The dream, though? When after but 23 days in office as the National Security Advisor, team Obama illegally attacked General Flynn and successfully silenced him, stoppering his voice, a new mission arose for me. We had to get his voice back. And ultimately, we did!
8) I have a second, and very personal point to share. A couple of days ago, General Flynn reached out to me, and shared that he had been studying my 26 January analysis again, and found it prescient. That's a phenomenal thing for an analyst.
9) I must again opine about how Twitter continues to silence General Flynn's voice, as he is not allowed to post here, himself. Sadly, horrifically, this has normalized itself so we don't contemplate it much. There is no free speech in social media. Our 1st amendment is not here.
10) But General Flynn has been freed from the illegal prosecution he suffered, and need have no fear for the moment in posting his Official Statements at his own website. Hallelujah for that! Now, let's turn to his statement posted yesterday.
11) There are just 8, hard hitting paragraphs. Let's start with the last, first: "My message to America is to get involved and participate in the political process however lawfully possible – in your communities and states. And never forget that the enemy of tyranny is freedom."
12) I confess that, to date, my own local attempts have not found their target. I suspect that my obstacle is the Republican Party. I simply don't fit in. In my local mediations, I've begun to form a hazy vision of something more closely connected to conservatism.
13) I am proud to say I'm working closely with @RealABundy who suffers the same difficulty, and has recently left the Republican Party and is running for Governor of Idaho, now, as an Independent. You'll find his statement to be important, I believe.
14) Here's part of paragraph 7: "Americans have the right to seek truth and transparency – without retribution or retaliation – wherever and whenever their lives, liberties or Constitutional rights are endangered or infringed..."
15) No one in America can speak more forcefully nor with more authority on this point than General Flynn. His rights have been destroyed at every turn. It literally took a Presidential #PardonOfInnocence in order for his freedom to be restored.
16) In paragraph 6, Flynn points to the "January 6 fraudulent committee," and "that the 2020 election was fraught with fraud..." Note his repeated emphasis on the term "fraud." We are being defrauded of our heritage. Our freedom is being systematically dismantled and destroyed.
17) Paragraph 5: "And question their schemes and trickery we must."
I add, we must completely and utterly wake up. Not to woke status, but to fighting trim. No, not violent fighting, of course not. Lawful fighting of evil forces.
18) Let's jump up to paragraph 1, in full:
"Hysterical fake news reporting, red herring fallacies, smears, gaslighting – you name it – from the mob of media propagandists conspiring with the hypocritical elitists to take down this country and those of us who love our nation...
19) Continued:
"…our Constitution, our individual rights, free and fair elections, the Rule of Law and equal justice for all must end."
20) But how? How do we end these evil forces in our nation? I don't know. But I do know that General Flynn's last point about local action is at least the starting point. That, plus never letting our guard down. Never allowing the normalization of freedom's loss.
21) I'm going to ask that you read paragraphs 2 & 3 on your own. These two powerful paragraphs address General Flynn's personal situation. I want you to draw close to him as you read them. Feel what he feels. Embrace his pain, and make it your own, too.
22) Not just his pain, though. He is no mere victim. Oh no! Embrace his courage, his strength, his hope, and fighting spirit. I've reported before and will again, that General Flynn seeks to do NOT just the right thing, but, as he puts it: "the HARDER right thing."
23) Contemplate that. Something may be both right and easy to do. It's a good thing, and no negative judgment may be established over it. Yet, it may be that we are avoiding a HARDER right thing by taking the easier path. We must seek this out within ourselves in our souls.

Over the past couple of days, I spent over 2 1/2 hours with a reporter from one of the great, liberal, MSM newspapers. It was absolutely delightful, and I believe significant. I'll explain why.
2) At one point during our intense deep dive, my new friend said to me, "Oh, I see, I can't separate myself from my profession." This excellent journalist did not create the narrative. He has merely been swept along with it, and never saw that that was happening before.
3) At least twice he said, "I've never heard the facts presented from that perspective before." I will share specifics in just a bit, below. Here, I need to assert he is both an intelligent man, and a good man. And he is a true journalist, not a liar.
We've talked about this many times. The debater out of ideas attacks a person. What's going on today, however, is the most depleted I've ever seen. Biden is going to war due to the "Shadow Of Trump."
2) I kid you not. The term in quotes comes from the New York Times daily newsletter I follow. Here's the twisted logic, forgive me if I can't make it make clean sense, because it's utterly nonsensical.
3) They say, Russia has 125,000 soldiers on the border with Ukraine because Trump was so nice to him, and so mean to NATO, and our European partners. They say that Trump attacked NATO, supported Putin, and put in place Russia's bold aggressive stance.
As a student of the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution, I offer you @RealABundy’s work. In the great story following the 2020 stolen election, Ammon Bundy has been a source of calm for me.
2) If you take the time to read his work, he will be a source of calm for you, too. Ammon spent 7 years crafting his plan to Keep Idaho IDAHO. But, it's more than just a plan for Idaho. It's a plan for America.
3) Of those 7 years, 2 of them were in a Federal Penitentiary for a crime - get this - that he was ultimately exonerated from, 100%. An innocent man spent 2 full years in prison, a political prisoner, guilty of no crime whatsoever.
Before we dive in, I have to report that, by NOT posting over the past several weeks, much, my follower count has grown by about 1,000 good souls. Why might that matter?
2) Here's my theory. I'd have 100,000 followers or more, by now, if it weren't for Twitter Censorship. But, every time I post, Twitter watches me, and does all in its power to thwart me. Why they don't just suspend my account, I have no idea.
3) Turning to topic...Will Trump's vaccine push topple his 2024 bid? It won't surprise you that I say no, it won't. There is a very simple case as to why not. He did...and does...have good faith. He believed in what he was doing and achieved his objectives almost magically.
We're going to discuss New Year's Resolutions today. I have one I'm going to share. Before I do, I have to confess my many NOT completed projects lingering around. They matter.
2) My amazing and gorgeous wife @KateScopelliti was laughing at me the other day. One of my clients asked me what's the most important book I've ever read. I ended up selecting 20. Kate took one look and said, Sun Tzu. You've never talked about any book more.
3) Having read something around 50 different translations, ever since first picking it up in 1987, no, there's no book I've ever studied more. So she's obviously right, as always. Why don't I know these things, myself?
You're at a modern, COVID-improved retail store with plastic separators everywhere. The employees are all well and good masked up. Have you noticed how muffled their voices are? Contemplate that.
2) Did you know that each employee has the right of free speech, even while working? Of course the company has the free right of firing the employee, and not even for cause. It's just a right. Free hire. Free fire. You're fired. You're hired. Like that. And like...I QUIT!, too.
3) Thing is, what you can't do is give an employee an illegal command and them fire them for not executing your illegal command. Put on your mask. This is NOT a legal command. It is illegal. If the employee is then fired for not doing so...LAW SUIT!
