WTF? Flynn's dimwit son just posted a column about his dad's plans to control ALL US intelligence

Found this via a tweet from Laura Rozen:

The column Flynn Jr links to is by Thierry Meyssan, a 9/11 truther. Thierry just says this is based on "sources" but the important thing here is that Flynn Jr tweeted it without comment or refutation, using Meyssan's title, "General Flynn’s Proposals to Reform Intelligence." You'd expect a loudmouth like Flynn Jr to object if he found anything in it objectionable. But he simply copies the title and link to Twitter.

And what Meyssan says is that Flynn's plan is to get rid of the post of Director of National Intelligence and have all the intelligemce agencies "accountable to General Flynn personally."

As for Pompeo, Trump's pick to head the CIA -- Meyssan writes, supposedly based on what his sources have told him about Flynn's plans, that Pompeo's nomination "would have been conditional upon him agreeing" with those plans, and Pompeo "should behave like an obedient soldier."


I have no idea whether they have any real chance of carrying off this coup in the intelligence community.

But Michael Flynn Jr (who has been his father's aide) obviously wants people to believe this is what his father wants.

7. Yesterday I listened to an interview with Susan Rice and all I could think was OMG, she's being

replaced by Michael Flynn, one of the dumbest people on the planet. This is nuts.

8. Agree. None of us could ever have imagined something this disastrous. It seens like a

bad (unbelievable) political thriller, or maybe satire.

9. "Stamp's Law"

Let's not forget, that any information that 'bubbles up' to the top tiers of the intelligence community comes from the operatives in the field; be that field: cyber, telephonic, observational or otherwise. And these operatives can take discretion (legitimate or not) to color or even omit what they bubble up the chain of command.

There's a maxim called "Stamp's Law" named after Sir Josiah Stamp (1840-1941) which states: The government is extremely fond of amassing great quantities of information. These are raised to the nth degree, the cube roots are extracted, and the results are arranged into elaborate and impressive displays. What must be kept ever in mind, however, is that in every case, the information is first put down by a village watchman, and he puts down anything he damn well pleases.

Thus, the upper echelon of the intelligence community relies on the information they get from the field. If the field operatives don't trust their senior commanders, I believe 'Stamps Law' will prevail.
