What Is Michael Flynn’s Long Game? (New Republic setting the stage to declare martial law)
The New Republic ^ | November 29, 2021 | Matt Farwell

Is the man who wanted Donald Trump to declare martial law prepping for some American Armageddon? Or is he doing something more subtle that the press is missing entirely?

Apocalypse Now played on my iPod as my flight lifted off from Arkansas. Watching Willard cruise up the river to kill Kurtz for most of the flight put me in the right frame of mind on the long arc that took me over Mississippi (state and river), Alabama, Florida, and Joe and Mika’s house with its conveniently attached Morning Joe studio garage on the Atlantic Coast.

I pulled a manila envelope from my leather attaché case to review the dossier. Any good operator does his homework. I’d been gathering yarn on Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn, U.S. Army (Retired), for years. The General occupied two chapters of a book I published in 2019, American Cipher: Bowe Bergdahl and the US Tragedy in Afghanistan. And that was from the time before he got really interesting. I fiddled with the miniature Combat Infantryman Badge pinned to the lapel of my seersucker suit before descent into Miami and a low flyover of the Trump National Doral Golf Club, my home for the next two days. The internet told me I was going to the worst place in the world. And I didn’t even know it yet.

Weeks before and hundreds of miles to the west, my nephew drove me to a megachurch, a local guide helping me chart the river of American crazy that snaked through the culture war like a central circuit. Dream City Church sits between Lookout Mountain and Shadow Mountain. Twitter told me Mike Flynn was totally insane, driven lewanáy (the Pashto word) by the FBI, operating out of Sarasota without any decent restraint, that his methods had become …

There isn’t going to be a midterm election because they know they can’t cheat enough to win.

They lost Texas and Florida in 2020 because they ran out of dead people and out-of-state voters to cast ballots for.

It is far worse now. Even their rigged polls with 80% Democrats are showing Brandon with 33% support.

They don’t care that we know the election was stolen because they don’t plan on stealing any more elections.

They are preparing to stage terrorist attacks and blame them on Trump and General Flynn and then they will declare martial law and start killing people.

Well, we do know they will happily kill their fellow Americans now if it means keeping their privileged positions.

That article so filled with linguistic clutter, reading it is like trying to job through maple syrup. Next time just say what’s on your mind, Matt.

For martial law to work you need the military. Biden doesn’t have the military.

Ridiculous.

Was thinking the same thing. Way too much junk. Unreadable. Can’t believe he was paid for that mess. I guess they’re no longer paying editors.

Martial Law can be good for a country - depends who is in charge. Chile is about to wish they had Pinochet again./

White Squall is a Ridley Scott film, no wonder I liked it.

I used to wonder where h*tler found people willing to k*ll for him.

Today’s liberals seem like they would be gleefully willing to.

I worry you may be right about the midterms.

I suspect both Joe and the Ho’ to be gone by then- one way or another, and President hilLIARy won’t take a chance on elections... she’s hated even worse than Slow Joe.

The blew all their fraud capital getting JB ‘elected’. They won’t be able to get away with THAT MUCH again.

I had forgotten about White Squall!
Really enjoyed the movie. I wish it had been a big hit, it deserved it.

Fellow Americans are apathetic and will allow themselves to be killed before they fight to defend themselves or America

The good thing is, the very base of the left wing tyranny is in trouble. The left wing tyrants rule through a coalition of City States. These City States in turn control their state members of the union.

New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle, controlling coalition City States, are shut down. They are no longer functioning. The concept of a working city is no longer intact. Current videos made by reporters actually driving the city streets visually depict day time reality. The cities are deserted.

Mile after mile of prime business property is deserted. No people. No foot traffic. Few parked cars. Stores are boarded up and there are lots of For Lease signs.

Then in a shift of You tube channels, there are other reporters performing the same function except the subject is not derelict main throughfares, but rather endless tent encampments. These encampment residents are labeled Homeless but that is error. They have homes. Like Arab Bedouins and ancient Jews fleeing Egypt, they live in tents squatting on public lands. Their real counterparts are literally millions of similar people living in the squalor of Mumbai. Portland and Seattle are on the verge of becoming Mumbai

The tyrants ruling the City State Coalition have no clue and no remedy. Covid is a problem but their real danger is the gangreneous rot that is epedemic in their cities

This guy is just too cute with his writing to ever take him seriously. I think he hit just about every far-left cliche ever written about a conservative who loves their country.

I finally had to skip to the bottom to realize he really had nothing worthwhile to say. But he was obviously a willing member of the woke military, because he sure as hell is not a patriot.
