Michael Flynn, Trump and Russia: What Is Really Going On?
nonalignedmedia.com
Michael Flynn is Donald Trump’s “favorite general,” advising the Republican presidential candidate on foreign policy and may well be brought in as an advisor if Trump succeeds this November.
Politico writes that Flynn “shaped some of Trump’s views, including disdain for the recent nuclear agreement with Iran and calls for a far more aggressive strategy to confront Islamic extremism at home and abroad.”
Flynn is a retired three-star US army general and the former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), serving in that role under Obama from 2012 to 2014.
Since retirement Flynn has been busy shopping himself around to media outlets as an “expert” on “terrorism”. He co-authored a new book with neocon Michael Ledeen, the self-styled “student” of Machiavellianism, who, conspiring alongside Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith and other Zionist agents in the Bush administration, led the battle cries for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the broader dystopian “war on terror” mission of toppling seven Middle Eastern regimes in 5-10 years. The Flynn-Ledeen book is a pro-War on Terror polemic entitled Field of Fight: How We Can Win the Global War Against Radical Islam and Its Allies. The synopsis reads in part:
"Ten years ago we found evidence that al-Qaeda was far more organized and adept than we had previously given them credit for. It took us nearly that long to locate and execute their leader, Osama bin Laden, and we are far from finished. Al-Qaeda has morphed into a much more dangerous, menacing threat: ISIS. A war is being waged against us by radical Islamists, and, as current events demonstrate, they are only getting stronger. This book aims to inform the American people of the grave danger we face in the war on terror―and will continue to face―until our government takes decisive action against the terrorists that want nothing more than to destroy us and our way of life."
This all seems oddly out of touch with reality when considering that the agency he headed, the DIA, was the source of the now infamous leaked report that point-blank revealed the Western role in spawning what would become ISIS. The intelligence brief, authored by anonymous DIA analysts under Flynn’s leadership in 2012, spoke of how the West and its regional allies stood behind anti-Assad rebel groups in Syria that, it noted, came to be dominated by extreme Salafi Islamists. The agency envisaged that such groups would imminently band together to form a “Salafist principality” in Eastern Syria that could be utilized by the Western powers and their partners as a “strategic opportunity” to “isolate” the Assad regime in Syria as well as Assad’s allies in Iran and Hezbollah. The communique has been widely circulated by alternative media and used as evidence that the Obama White House directly and knowingly facilitated the rise of ISIS, which it paradoxically now claims to be at war with. Flynn in a candid interview with Al Jazeera confirmed the authenticity of that document, furthering the argument to say that the Obama administration made a “willful decision” to arm and support rebel groups with extremist proclivities, and that he “argued” with them about the policy.
So Flynn himself admitted publicly that the “terrorists” are a creation of the US government itself, but insists with trepidation that the “threat” from these synthetic terror groups is pressing and real, and must be immediately dealt with. He somehow avoids the paradox that the Pentagon and US intelligence agencies themselves devised, and most likely still have some degree of control over, the very menace they are now disingenuously claiming to fight.
Flynn’s delusional garbage is part of a wider campaign of spin doctoring emanating from various Republicans including the Trump campaign which seeks to scapegoat Obama – exonerating the Zionist string-pullers behind the curtain – for the calamities occurring in the Middle East that ultimately trace back to the pre-Obama neocons’ Zionist agenda of permanent regime change and destabilization in states – notably Iraq, Syria, Libya, Lebanon and Iran – that rival Israel. It was George W. Bush and his neocon team of war-hawk advisors who first conceived and implemented the policies that have led to the austere predicament the Middle East finds itself in now, and it was they who initiated the “redirection” gambit of arming regional opponents of Assad in Syria, Iran and Hezbollah as far back as 2005. Obama simply picked up where Bush and the neocons left off, following more or less the same or similar framework of perpetual regime-change that his predecessor first set in motion. Now, as his presidency comes to a close, Obama is conveniently being made a scapegoat for the Zionists’ dirty work.
