Michael Flynn is no longer a general, no longer the national security adviser, and no longer a credible figure in mainstream conservatism. This hasnt stopped him from becoming one of the most powerful influencers among the nether regions of the MAGAverse. The Trump World hero has spent the bulk of the year spreading conspiracy theories at behind podiums at QAnon conferences, in front of evangelical church congregations, and on a never-ending stream of janky, grift-y internet shows and podcasts. It wouldnt be hard to argue that hes at or near the height of his popularity.
The world of disinformation grifters can be a ruthless one, though, as Flynn found out this week. One minute youre calling out the devil for doing his work through condiments, the next youre being called out as the devil yourself.
On Monday, Flynn appeared on Thrivetime Show: Business School Without the B.S., a podcast clearly meant to drive business to host Clay Clarks business coaching program, the ventures of affiliated snake oil salesmen, and Clarks health-focused Reawaken America tour, featuring Flynn and other notable names. Mike Lindell, the pillow guy, for instance. Most of the tours upcoming dates are listed as sold out.
The interview with Flynn begins with a lot of talk about waking up to reality, followed by Clark claiming that PCR Covid tests are rigged, and that once youre into the hospital doctors give you drugs developed by George Soros to kill you (one of the drugs he cites, Remdesevir, was administered to President Trump), all the while withholding 100-percent effective treatments like hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin, also known as the horse paste that has caused a flood of calls to poison control from victims of Clark-type con men.

(2,393 posts)And boy is the current cult primed to be afraid. Day after day after day they are told to be afraid and angry over whatever the autocrats / oligarchs invent for them to fear.
Flynn knows it's a lie, but he'll say anything that might help to destabilize the country.

Seriously, that's a question that the DoD must answer, because whatever promotion standard they are currently using is a soup-sandwich.
They are lucky that I am not the SECDEF, because ALL Promotions, from E2 to O 10 would be on hold until the above fucking question is answered.

(45,457 posts)it sounds like his screwups started about a decade ago as he shared classified intel with other countries without authorization.
I wouldn't be surprised if he turns out to be a double agent. He's still the only US military officer who was ever allowed inside the headquarters of Russian GRU military intelligence. Some folks think he's Q.
