Michael Flynn's Wild Ride Into The Heart Of QAnon

[DonViejo]

In the weeks before the Capitol siege, Trump’s former national security adviser went on a far-right media blitz to promote wild conspiracy theories.

Michael Flynn stood in front of a cheering crowd of QAnon believers, far-right extremists and other Trump supporters, and told them he was absolutely certain Donald Trump would remain the president. It was Dec. 12 and Trump had already lost the election, but at a “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington, D.C., Flynn proclaimed “a spiritual battle for the heart and soul of this country” that would end with Trump’s victory.

As three of his siblings applauded behind him, Flynn vowed that the election was not over and that “courts aren’t gonna decide who the next president of the United States is gonna be.” Flynn said Trump trusted his supporters to “not allow what’s happening to happen in our country” and called on them to “fight back” against an alleged plot involving groundless conspiracy theories of election fraud and rigged voting machines.

“Why not look inside these machines? Why? Why not? What are they afraid of? What are they hiding from? They are hiding from something!” Flynn told the crowd.

The December event foreshadowed Trump’s Jan. 6 rally, which led to a far-right mob storming the U.S. Capitol, and many of the same groups were involved, including dark-money nonprofit Women for America First. Violence also followed the first event, with Proud Boys gang members involved in brawls and stabbings that resulted in 33 arrests. The December rally was part of a string of speeches and media appearances, leading up to the January insurrection, in which Flynn lent his voice to the authoritarian movement to keep Trump in office.

4. Whoa, whoa, whoa: "As three of his siblings applauded behind him"

I’m going to assume Lt. Gen. Charles Flynn, the Army’s chief of staff of operations who participated in the decision to dispatch the National Guard on Jan. 6 was not one of the three as there are apparently 7 other siblings. Too bad the article doesn’t name them all. We know that Flynn’s son is also a Qanon hero, so it looks like stirring up sedition is a family project. Which leads me back to Lt. Gen. Charles Flynn and makes me really, really want to know everything he said and did on Jan. 6.

7. The puzzle pieces keep falling together.

Flynn and his active duty brother were in this up to their necks.

6. So Flynn was a major player in the insurrection. And wanted to declare martial law.

With a active duty military brother who was also involved in the events of Jan 6.

10. Does anyone else on my side think it would be a VERY BAD idea to give these cretins access

To the codes of our voting machines?
I imagine that If it ever had come to that nobody could trust a vote
Ever again without starting over from scratch, so to speak.
