Can Someone Please Explain How Michael Flynn Got So Crazy?
I need your help. I am puzzled. I would like to understand what made Michael Flynn go batcrap crazy.
Flynn has been off the ranch of reality for some time. In July 2020, he posted a video with explicit references to QAnon, the bonkers conspiracy theory that holds that a global cabal of cannibalistic pedophiles, dominated by prominent Democrats and liberal billionaires, are battling Donald Trump for control of the world. Yet in November a recording of Flynn became public in which he apparently called QAnon “total nonsense” and said it was a “disinformation campaign” mounted by the CIA and the left, presumably to discredit pro-Trump forces—yet another nutty conspiracy theory. Following the 2020 election, Flynn was an enthusiastic co-conspirator in pushing the Big Lie that the election was stolen and raised the idea of Trump declaring martial law. This past week, Flynn—who resigned after a few weeks as Trump’s first national security adviser because he was caught lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia—descended further down the loony hole. Appearing on the website of scoundrel conspiracy-monger Alex Jones, Flynn claimed that international agencies run by global elites, including George Soros and Bill Gates, intentionally spread Covid-19 so these big shots can “control humanity” and “rule the world.”
This is a QAnonish idea—minus the baby-eating and human trafficking—and echoes Flynn’s previous assertion that Covid was devised to divert attention from the 2020 election theft, even though the virus struck before there was any controversy over the election.
What’s frightening is that Flynn, who pleaded guilty to misleading the feds and was pardoned by Trump, was once an important and powerful person in the national security establishment. (Call it the deep state, if you prefer.) He served in a host of key positions in the US Army and for a time oversaw military intelligence in Afghanistan. After being promoted to lieutenant general, he was appointed in 2012 by President Barack Obama to head the Defense Intelligence Agency, which collects intelligence about the military intentions and capabilities of foreign governments and non-state actors, including terrorist organizations. Its important work accounts for about a quarter of the information in the daily intelligence brief prepared for the president. The security of the nation rests, in part, on what the DIA does.
