Exclusive Interview with General Mike Flynn ~ Ep. 1407 ~ The Dan Bongino Show

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode in his Show Notes (a.k.a. Newsletter!):

In this exclusive interview with General Mike Flynn, we cover Barack Obama’s bizarre fascination with Gen. Flynn, Gen. Flynn’s battles to fix the intel community, the 2015 CIS dinner where Lokhova was present, and the real reason Jim Comey targeted Flynn.

From beginning to end, I have to agree that it was definitely Dan Bongino's greatest interview, with probably one of America's greatest heroes, Lt. General Mike Flynn!  

I know that Dan and General Flynn are waiting with bated breath for my commentary on this episode...  Well, no, probably not, but you are!  However, I'm going to flip the script on you today.  I want to know what your takeaways were from this interview episode.  I know that for me, it was in the last segment of the show, when General Flynn was talking about the need for accountability in the government; both in the appointed positions, and in the bureaucracy.  Yes, that massive bureaucracy in this country, where in Big Government, it is just easier for people to blame the folks down the chain of command when things aren't working, and/or go wrong.  And, do you know what?  I would imagine that Gen. Mike Flynn would know how that works, don't you think?  

I remember first hearing about General Flynn on a few tweets I saw on Twitter, back in September of 2019, when I was actually active there... That was before the great Twitter purge of Conservative users of that formerly good service.  I was always seeing that #GenFlynn hashtag, almost as often as the #Q tweets.  And then I discovered the Dan Bongino Show in January 2020, and I was hooked.  I followed Dan's show, and learned a whole bunch about Spygate and the Obama attempt to "cancel" the great patriot, General Mike Flynn.  You will totally understand why General had a target on his back when you see this episode.  You will understand why President Trump pardoned Flynn, and why Obama despised him.

Ultimately, in this interview, we will see the ultimate loyalty that General Flynn has for President Trump.  That should always be the case for people high up in the military to be loyal to the President, right?  But when it was Obama as Commander-In-Chief, who was not in favor of the military, let alone this country, you would think that General Flynn would be very disloyal to the President, but that was never the case.  He wouldn't say anything bad about Obama in public.  He only worked harder to protect our troops in the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts by wanting them to have better intelligence, when needed, and that was his goal as a senior intel commander.

There are a few more good tidbits I'd love to discuss about this interview, but I've already gone long-winded mode.  I can only say this one last thing without further ado:  I think that General Mike Flynn agrees with most of us that the election is far from being decided.  When you're watching this interview, please keep that in mind!      

Because I know that Dan Bongino would prefer that I embed the Rumble.com video here, I am now doing that! It finally came to me how to do it, and I am very pleased, because it doesn't require me to use the JavaScript code to do it! So, when you are watching, you will not be seeing it via youtube.com again. Nope, not here. Ever!  No more screwtube embedded video here! Forevs! So, it's now RUMBLE all the way, Dan.  For Dan's show page on Rumble.com, click here.

Who is John Galt? ~ By Lord Monckton

Lord Monckton

Lord Monckton asks if freedom-loving tycoons will begin to vanish

You will find this column by Lord Monckton to be very informative as it examines the similarities and differences between Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" and the real world of today:

Prescient though Ayn Rand was, she could not have foreseen the sheer, staggering number of deaths caused directly by socialism in its various hateful, hate-filled forms over the past century.

And now these murderous creatures propose to establish no less than a totalitarian world government, with overriding powers of taxation, of regulation and of enforcement. There is to be a new climate court to bring to heel the few nations whose leaders have found the courage to speak out against the screeching harpies of environmentalist socialism.

In the past, those who wanted to escape national or international socialism could escape from Germany or Russia or China. But, when very nearly every nation on Earth has signed the new and tyrannous Treaty of Paris, where shall we go, those of us in whose breast still burns that flame of freedom?

So, who is John Galt? You won't find that out in this commentary and blog post. You'll have to read "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand to find out. But at the same time, you may just learn that there may be a very nefarious reason why the Obama administration fears tea partiers more than ISIS. Just sayin'...

Who is John Galt?

Last year, the Ayn Rand Institute was kind enough to send me a copy of "Atlas Shrugged," the masterwork of that great prophetess of liberty and of free markets. I read all 1,100 pages in two days. For, although the novel has a powerful political message, and one that America is ignoring at her peril, it…

Am I really worse than ISIS? ~ By Phil Elmore

Phil Elmore

Phil Elmore tells of Twitter vitriol sent his way after Paris attacks

They don't feel any remorse. Despite the cold-blooded murders in Paris, the problem is that there are Muslims that are whining about Americans who are supposedly "Islamophobic." Phil explains that in this column, and especially here:

It tells us something profound, in fact, given the sheer and breathtaking volume of Muslim terror attacks occurring throughout the world, that the first and most vehement reaction by supposedly “moderate” Muslims is to whine that we are unfairly painting their death cult with a broad brush. Instead of standing with the West, they condemn us for “Islamophobia.” Instead of looking to their own religion and asking why so many of Allah’s followers murder innocent people, they lecture the West on tolerance. Instead of adding their voices to those mourning the dead, they use social media to sneer defensively at the living.

No, I really couldn't say it any better than Phil did in the above quote. However, I do have something to say in addition to Phil's thoughts: To anyone that thinks AND says that the "filter" for allowing Syrians to come here should depend on the refugee's claimed religion, that is the biggest mistake a politician could make! First of all, that is so contrary to our Constitution of the United States, specifically, the First Amendment!

Wait, maybe we should back up a little here. We really want to be compassionate, but we might want to do all that is possible to be vetting ALL refugees before we allow possible terrorists into the country. But in the mean time, we know that anyone that values our safety and security will probably be facing the same kind of condemnation in the furious torrents of absolute hostility that Phil experienced. Just sayin'...

Am I really worse than ISIS?

An interesting thing happened Friday. Muslim terrorists, presumably with ISIS, attacked targets in Paris in a coordinated and bloody effort that left hundreds wounded and at least 129 dead. Like so many here in the United States, I took to Internet and social media to listen to the live news feed while crawling through various Paris…

Boots on the ground? Yes, on U.S. border ~ By Diana West

Diana West

Diana West warns against 'another pointless war in the Middle East'

While Diana made some good points in this column, I'm not sure I can totally buy into her overall strategy. But yes, there is a part that I absolutely agree with Diana on:

Any American “boots on the ground” in response should be on the U.S. border. If, God forbid, a soldier is killed there, at least he died for his country.

The fact is, the first line of defense in this war is our border – all of our borders, from the nation-states of Europe, struggling to break free from the socialism- and diversity-enforcing EU behemoth, to these United States of America, struggling to break from the socialism- and diversity-enforcing White House behemoth. These borders – these sovereign states – are all (an exception is Hungary) undefended by governments in thrall to global imperatives, not responsibility for their own citizens or their own laws. It is first and foremost at these borders that the main mechanism of societal destruction is being activated by massive, lawless population shifts from the Third World, the Islamic world.

The truth is, the last line of our defense won't be at the borders, as non-vetted refugees from Syria, supposedly, come into this country, thanks to the non-vetted Commander-in-chief. It will be us, the citizens, those that value the Second Amendment and own firearms. We also need to vastly decrease the number of soft targets that could be attacked by eliminating "gun-free zones."

But it isn't just a matter of boots-on-the-ground when it comes to defending this country from attacks. The reluctance to use ground troops in pushing back ISIS is somewhat justified, but the downsizing of the U.S. Military is not. The drastic cuts to our military strength has emboldened our enemies. The Liberals/Progressives in America that think and say our continued security in America is dependent on reversing global warming are lying to you, while in the meantime, radical Islamist terrorists are attacking our allies, and they're coming for us. Just sayin'...

Boots and the ground? Yes, on U.S. border

Fourteen years after 9/11, the civilized world has finally become unified, working as one in response to global jihad by … lighting up landmarks in the colors of the latest victim-state. This is not an effective response. Nor are public displays of grief, including candles, teddy bears and flowers. Nor is embarking on another pointless war…

World War III? ~ By Chuck Norris

Chuck Norris

Chuck Norris compares Paris terror attacks to 'spark that lit the fuse'

You wouldn't know that we're in a war by the way Obama is doing things. He still acts as if ISIS is the JV team, even after the unfolding of events in Paris, France. He even thinks that containing ISIS is all that is needed. Oh, sure, now that we know that ISIS is in many countries in the Middle East, it hardly sounds like containment! You can't make this stuff up:

And the commander in chief of all our U.S. military forces really believes the following about ISIS: “I don’t think they’re gaining ground. What is true is that from the start, our goal has been first to contain, and we have contained them …”?

And so, in the mean time, even after a horrific attack on civilians, it seems that Obama thinks that what happens in Europe stays in Europe. Well, it won't, not if he allows thousands of refugees into the country. That's just a Trojan horse strategy of our enemies waiting to happen. It wouldn't happen if we had a President that had a backbone, and admits that we ARE in a World War against radical Islam. Just sayin'...

*    *    *    *

World War III?

If you weren't convinced before, now you know what a disorganized World War III looks like from the six simultaneous Paris terror attacks by ISIS that killed at least 129 precious souls and injured more than 300 more. And to think just a year ago, President Obama called ISIS "a jayvee team." In fact, on Friday…

The Coming of the Islamic State was Foretold 10 Years Ago. And No One Listened. ~ By Raymond Ibrahim

The Fourth Phase. Between 2010 and 2013, Hussein writes that Al Qaeda will aim to bring about the collapse of the hated Arabic governments. The estimate is that “the creeping loss of the regimes’ power will lead to a steady growth in strength within Al Qaeda.” At the same time attacks will be carried out against oil suppliers and the US economy will be targeted using cyber terrorism.

This is immensely prophetic. Recall that the timeline given (2010-2013) coincides remarkably well with the so-called “Arab Spring,” which culminated with Islamic terrorists and their allies taking over the leadership of several Arab countries formerly ruled by secularized autocrats: Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood (which plays Dr. Jekyll to Al Qaeda’s Mr. Hyde); Libya, Al Qaeda/Islamic jihadis; ongoing Syria, Al Qaeda/Islamic jihadis (or their latest manifestation, the Islamic State, Al Qaeda’s “second generation”), etc. It should be remembered that in each of these nations—Egypt, Libya, Syria—the Obama administration played a major role in empowering the jihadis, though in the name of “democracy.”

I can almost guarantee that one of your thoughts as you read this column will be: "Wait a minute, why doesn't President Obama know about this (he has never shown any indication that he understands what is going on), and do our intelligence officials tell the President about the information in this column?" You would think so! But, that is where some of us will come to disagreement.

While some of us are eager to just say that Obama is ignorant of what ISIS is doing, I don't see that as being plausible, even if it was Obama that originally said that ISIS was the "JV" of the Jihadist movement. Only complete incompetence by his intelligence and national security advisers could explain that, but that just doesn't seem to be possible. Any idiot that gets on the internet would know that ISIS is a threat to the Middle East. However, there is that thing about Obama not showing up for intelligence briefings, it isn't his thing...

The other possibility is that Obama actually WANTS an ISIS takeover of the Middle East. I know, that's brutal, but I've had a lot of people tell me that was their opinion, and many of those people gave very good evidence that lead them to this opinion. Obama's narrative about why he doesn't have a strategy YET is just getting old, and I am thinking that we are all really tired of that. How long has he had to determine that ISIS was a threat and to come up with a strategy to defeat and/or destroy ISIS? For over a year, ISIS has been conquering territories that so many of our soldiers had fought and died to win for a "free" Iraq. Now, it's all gone, and ISIS is now moving ever closer to Baghdad! Mosul, Fallujah, Tikrit, Ramadi... just to name several cities now under ISIS control.

If you have any doubts about what is going on with Obama's lack of strategy to defeat ISIS, please go to the related videos below. You may see and hear more information that may make you also wonder what is going on! Just sayin'...

The Coming of the Islamic State was Foretold 10 Years Ago. And No One Listened.

Raymond Ibrahim

By Raymond Ibrahim

Jun. 8, 2015 10:00am

From TheBLAZE.com

Although the birth of the Islamic State and the herald of the caliphate are often regarded as some of 2014’s “big shockers,” they were foretold in striking detail and with an accurate timeline by an Al Qaeda insider nearly one decade ago.

On August 12, 2005, Spiegel Online International published an article titled “The Future of Terrorism: What Al Qaeda Really Wants.” Written by Yassin Musharbash, the article was essentially a review of a book written by Fouad Hussein, a Jordanian journalist with close access to Al Qaeda and its affiliates, including the late Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who pioneered the videotaping of beheadings “to strike terror into the hearts” of infidels (Koran 3:151).

As Hussein explained in the introduction of his book “Al Zarqawi: Al Qaeda’s Second Generation”: “I interviewed a whole range of Al Qaeda members with different ideologies to get an idea of how the war between the terrorists and Washington would develop in the future.”

This photo was posted on a militant website on Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2014 showing masked militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) marching in Raqqa, Syria. (Photo via AP)

And in fact the book details the master plan of Al Qaeda — in its “second generation” manifestation known as the “Islamic State” which follows much of Zarqawi’s modus operandi — to resurrect a caliphate. This plan is sufficiently outlandish that Yassin Musharbash, the author of the Spiegel article reviewing Hussein’s book, repeatedly casts doubt on its feasibility. Thus Al Qaeda’s plan is “proof both of the terrorists’ blindness as well as their brutal single-mindedness”; there is “no way” Al Qaeda can follow the plan “step by step”; “the idea that Al Qaeda could set up a caliphate in the entire Islamic world is absurd”; and the following “scenario should be judged skeptically.”

Yet it is all the more remarkable that much of this plan — especially those phases dismissed as infeasible by Musharbash (four and five) — have come to pass.

In what follows, I reproduce the seven phases of Al Qaeda’s master plan as presented in Musharbash’s nearly 10-year-old article, (emphasis added in bold) with my commentary interspersed for context. Phases four and five are of particular importance as they describe the goals for recent times, much of which have come to fruition according to plan.
