General Michael Flynn details a coordinated effort by the Obama administration, specifically John Brennan and Jim Comey, to undermine his career and President Trump through the Russia Gate narrative, citing a January 5, 2017 Oval Office meeting as the conspiracy's origin. He argues that the intelligence community is entrenched with 'stay-behind' operatives from the Biden and Obama eras who prioritize budget preservation over national security, particularly regarding Russia. Flynn advocates for accountability for these wrongdoers and emphasizes the need for citizens to engage in local political processes to counteract perceived socialist and Chinese influences.
Key takeaways 7
The Russia Gate investigation originated from a January 5, 2017 Oval Office meeting between Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and others, where they discussed how to handle the incoming Trump administration.
John Brennan failed the CIA's case officer training program (the Farm) due to a lack of moral disposition, leading to his role as an analyst who rose to Director through political connections rather than operational capability.
The intelligence community's focus on Russia is driven by the 'black budget,' which allocates nearly a trillion dollars to programs that would cease if Russia became an ally.
Flynn was forced to plead guilty to lying to the FBI after prosecutors threatened to indict his son, Michael, who has mental health issues, despite FBI agents noting 'no indications of lying' in their initial interview notes.
The Department of Justice and FBI are heavily infiltrated by 'stay-behind' operatives from the Obama and Biden administrations, making them resistant to reform.
China's '100-Year Plan' (declassified in the late 1990s) aims for dominance by 2049, utilizing a strategy of irregular warfare and co-opting internal US political figures.
The 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment on Russian collusion was rushed by Brennan, sidelined the National Intelligence Council, and excluded DIA input, serving as the false predicate for the Mueller investigation.
