Trump Said to Offer National Security Post to Michael Flynn, Retired General

HERE is the core problem with Flynn as NSA....if we take his so called tweet at face value....."truth in the face of questions" as a valid motto to live by....

WHY does Flynn THEN continue to spread the myth around that he was fired by Obama for attempting to speak truth to power about his DIA analysis of IS WHEN....

@benshapiro Fired for truth-telling is Flynn's version. Fired for creating a management nightmare is everyone else's.

Sure hope that Flynn when he updates his SF86 honestly includes the fact that he was relieved for cause ie fired NOT let go for his defense of his analytical work....

Example of just one of hundreds of proTrump supporters flooding the social media in support of Flynn and his Muslim views....

We have 8 yrs evidence of O deceit/folly on ISIS/Islam/Muslim immigrn. Any evidence for ur assertion?

CAN this just get any worse.....???? Like father like son they say.....

Michael Flynn's son and chief of staff pushed conspiracy theories, obscene memes online @CNNPolitics

Normally when one is getting even a simple Secret clearance as a civil service employee you must indicate all foreign travel...foreign contacts/business and any foreign earnings and or bank accounts.....AND ESPECIALLY if you are a "foreign agent".....

AND ESPECIALLY if you have been fired from any employment recently.....

Flynn was fired as director of DIA. With cause. Making him National Security Adviser guarantees Trump WH problems with DoD & IC.

SO it now appears that we have a two tier security clearance system...for the "normal" and then the "untouchables" who can do what ever they want and still get a clearance....

Make sense to everyone who currently holds a security clearance and that could in fact even apply to janitors.....????????

On 27 FEB 2016 Flynn tweeted....."the truth fears no questions" UNQUOTE...Tweet is available for those that do not believe he stated this.

SO WHEN Flynn is directly confronted by journalists about his trips to Moscow...or major Russian Today events...RT a 400% Russian owned propaganda outlet or when he does paid RT interviews.....OR his blatantly proRussian FP statements that actually overlap almost word for word RT statements or Putin statements....

Flynn either abruptly ends the questioning...fails to answer and deflects to another topic ie IS or Obama and or states it is not the interest of the media.....

THIS is "truth fears no questions"....or a paid lobbyist acting as a Russian "agent of influence"??????

Some of us who knew Flynn from Iraq days respected his fight to change the way we did intel business which needed to be changed badly...some of us were not then overly impressed by his intel abilities especially those of the "grey beard generation" because he failed to often "listen"....

So if we now know that Flynn does not totally 300% believe in his own tweet statement "the truth fears no questions"....WHY are we and or NATO and or the EU to "trust" Trump who uses the advice of this "tainted national security advisor".....

Would you "trust him"?????

WHEN Politico a more conservative media outlet starts writing articles like this ...they are as concerned as I am about who Flynn really works for.....

Gen. Mike Flynn goes to Moscow:

JUST a side comment....Gazprom the Russian natural gas company has been used for years as a "weaponized economic influencer" against or for Russian opponents or supporters.....they have thrown millions of dollars/euros at their supporters and then massively overcharged their opponents....

Quote:
An agent of influence is an agent of some stature who uses his or her position to influence public opinion or decision making to produce results beneficial to the country whose intelligence service operates the agent. Agents of influence are often the most difficult agents to detect, as there is seldom material evidence that connects them with a foreign power, but they can be among the most effective means of influencing foreign opinion and actions as they hold considerable credibility among the target audience.

Most commonly they serve the interests of a foreign power in one of three ways: either as a controlled agent directly recruited and controlled by a foreign power; as a "trusted contact" that consciously collaborates to advance foreign interests but are not directly recruited or controlled by a foreign power; or as a "useful idiot" that is completely unaware of how their actions further the interests of a foreign power.

The term "agent of influence" is often used to describe both individuals and organizations engaged in influence operations. Individuals engaged in this type of influence operation may serve in the fields of journalism, government, art, labor, academia, or a number of other professional fields.

Cultural opinion makers, nationalists, and religious leaders have also been targeted to serve as individual agents of influence.

In addition to individual agents of influence, front organizations can serve the interests of a foreign power in this capacity. Some Cold War examples of front organizations serving as agents of influence included: the Christian Peace Conference, the International Organization of Journalists, the World Federation of Scientific Workers, the World Federation of Trade Unions, the International Institute for Peace, and the World Peace Council.

When individuals join such organizations in good faith but are in fact serving the interests of a foreign elite, their affiliation becomes infiltration, and cumulatively the organization serves as an agent of influence.

NOTE: Based on Flynn's military education...we can safely exclude him as an "useful idiot"...so does money and playing to his ego talk?????

The same exact game is being played by Russian Today that has even corrupted former anti Russian journalists and news media personalities who now work for RT praising Trump and Putin with multi million dollar contracts with RT....

(Washington) – President-elect#Donald Trump’s#choice of retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn for National Security Advisor demonstrates a deeply disturbing disregard for#human rights principles and the laws of war. Flynn has repeatedly endorsed proposals#by Trump that#would constitute torture and other war crimes.

“Michael Flynn has#shown a stunning contempt for the Geneva Conventions and other laws prohibiting torture,” said Sarah Margon, Washington director at Human Rights Watch. “By offering this key post to Flynn,#President-elect Trump is undermining US commitments to international laws that have been broken to America’s detriment.”

BTW...just a side comment..in 2005 and 2006 the US Army was under massive pressure by HRW for their actions in Iraq....in 2006 HRW was invited to the Army's National Training Center at Ft. Irwin CA and asked to ensure that the Iraq training scenario conformed to what they expected....BTW they were totally surprised we had invited them...thus began a very fruitful exchange for both... much to the surprise of HRW as they were provided unlimited access and input.....and the scenario they worked with us on was solid in the areas they foresaw to be problems as they had seen them in Iraq......suddenly the critique of the Army in Iraq by HRW stopped.

SO when they make this kind of statement public THEN I intently listen to them.....
