Gen. Flynn: The threat posed by our caretaker government

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

By Gen. Michael Flynn,FlynnMovie.com

President Biden’s recent snapping at his staff when he forgot to introduce Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi did nothing to restore confidence in his capability to serve.  The good news was that when he met with Ukraine’s President Zelensky at the end of the week, at least he did not call him President Putin, as he did when they met in July. 

With the exception of the White House staff and those out-of-touch Leftists who work at MSNBC, there is almost no one remaining in America who really believes that President Biden is functioning as our nation’s Commander-in-Chief.  But, if not him, who?  It doesn’t seem like it is Kamala.  (She is sleep-walking toward the Presidency — as if she thought that she already “had it in the bag,” as if “the fix was in,” to mix metaphors.)  Who else?  Jill?  Hillary?  Bill?  Barack?  White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients — not exactly a household name.  National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan?  White House Counsel Ed Siskel – another Obama retread?  Secretary of State Antony Blinken?  Or, most likely, a committee of all of the above and maybe a few more?

It would be my view that if Biden cannot do his job, he should be replaced — by the Vice President — not by a secret committee.  That would be the Constitutional way — even though I know these people don’t hold much stock in the Constitution.  Some may disagree, thinking that if Kamala were actually sworn in as President, it might cause more people to vote for her as the incumbent, but at least it would prevent her from telling us what she would do when she takes office — because she would be not only in office, but in the highest office.

What really threatens the nation is the reckless manner in which this anonymous committee is running the government, particularly in matters of foreign policy.  There is no caution, no professionalism, and indeed, no maturity.  Do they really think it wise to continue to provoke the country with the world’s largest store of nuclear warheads?

Based on my experience in government, those who are protected from accountability act increasingly irresponsibly.  That seems to be what is happening here.  Only days ago, it appeared that “our government” had authorized Zelensky to use our weapons, including ATACMS missiles, to strike deep into Russia.  President Putin made clear he would consider such an attack to come not from the Ukraine, but from the United States and NATO countries.  Just yesterday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov passed on a similar warning at the United Nations.  Have we backed off our reckless position?  No one knows for sure. 

General Mike Flynn is a 30+ year army veteran and served both under President Obama as head of the DIA and a former National Security advisor to President Donald Trump. Gen. Flynn was interviewed this summer on VDC-TV’s Friday at Four, and appeared live via Zoom at a screening of his film in Williston.

  1. I have been writing similarly. Kamala and the cabinet should have invoked the 25th Amendment. And it is foolish and dangerous for us to be involved in a war with Russia, directly or indirectly.

  2. People raised on video reality drama and TV programming see no consequences of their actions… we are reaping the whirlwind of what we sowed 70 years ago…not the enslavement of peoples by tyranny isn’t biblically historical or anything…

  3. Got to get the third world going to cover the massive melt down of the PICKPOCKETPOWELL federal reserve money system.

  4. Lt. General Flynn doesn’t seem bothered that US military veterans are being held as political hostages in federal gulags across the country, without due process. He doesn’t talk about J6, even though he was there with Ann Vandersteele, Alex Jones, and Patrick Byrne (those who speak openly about eliminating 45.) He points out the obvious, makes movies about the obvious, sells swag, writes books, rides around the country in a pimped out bus, and boasts endlessly of his accomplishments and dedication to saving our Country.

    Some are going as far now to point out his close relationship with Gen. Stanley McCrystal (cover up of Pat Tilman’s real cause of death, investigative reporter Michael Hastings taken out, and not to lunch) “An anti-Trump Democratic-aligned political action committee advised by retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal is planning to deploy an information warfare tool that reportedly received initial funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Pentagon’s secretive research arm — transforming technology originally envisioned as a way to fight ISIS propaganda into a campaign platform to benefit Joe Biden.” Fox News May 4, 2020)

    Careful holding up false idols. Particularly, ones who are deeply entrenched in secret operations for decades, registered foreign agents (after the fact in Turkey’s elections,) and tickles the ears with what people want to hear.

    “The very word “secrecy” is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know.” US President, John F. Kennedy, April 27, 2961.
