The Lines Are Drawn

Michigan GOP win, Flynn’s oversold $1.25M settlement, Republican sellouts, CPAC truth-tellers, and the 2022 Russia-China pact that explains what Iran is all about.

In the last week, the psychological warfare against freedom-loving Americans has continued to escalate on X. The Flynn network’s mask is gone. The battle lines are now crystal clear. Here are some highlights straight from the front lines.


Michigan GOP Delegates Prioritize Winning

Last weekend at the Michigan Republican Party state nominating convention, common sense won. Anthony Forlini and Doug Lloyd—the two candidates I endorsed—secured the MIGOP nominations in decisive fashion. Attempts to disrupt were quickly quashed. No last-minute rule suspensions. They both took approximately 25 point wins in the first round.

The Detroit News published an excellent column: “The party has prioritized electable candidates and rebuilding. These candidate choices signal seriousness to voters beyond the base.” Columnist Kaitlyn Buss continued, “A party that can nominate candidates who appeal to both its base and the broader electorate is a party that can compete in Michigan again.”

This is the path to victory. The division within the Republican party is not “establishment v. grassroots” as the dividers want us to believe, and as the rest of this report will help illuminate. It is foreign-linked insurgents and their useful idiots who are working to destroy the GOP by making us unelectable.

Despite the Flynn network’s best efforts (and those of their man in Michigan, Patrick Colbeck), Delegates chose the only two candidates with the experience to run winning campaigns and appeal to a wide, common-sense voting audience. This was a huge win that so many of us worked hard for, and it is a blueprint for the future survival of our party and the greatest nation on Earth.


Does a Settlement Agreement Really Prove Anything?

Fresh on the heels of Flynn’s no good very bad week last week, Flynn announced the finalization of a settlement agreement with the DOJ in his $50M wrongful prosecution civil suit against the government. It was announced a few months ago that the DOJ would settle this lawsuit, but the timing of the finalization of the agreement was certainly beneficial for Flynn.

The settlement was for $1.25M, or 2.5% of what he was seeking. He instantly published a statement claiming this proved that he was a wrongfully prosecuted victim hero. But did the settlement prove anything? Lawsuits are settled all the time without an admission of guilt and this was no different.

Flynn wrote in his statement, “Nothing can fully compensate for the hell that my family and I have endured over these many years…” But what hell did they put him through? He his family members personally pocketed hundreds of thousands on his legal defense fund. He didn’t spend a day in prison. He has raked in millions across his multiple grifts, and he clearly enjoys the adoration of millions of Americans.

His actions from Russiagate until now have certainly created massive setbacks and suffering for both of Trump’s administrations. If not for Flynn’s and the DIA’s involvement in Trump’s first campaign, Russiagate would not have gained the traction it did to set back Trump’s first administration.

What was strange to me about Flynn’s settlement was how aggressively the media pushed the story, and how the story was framed, with conservative outlets framing the settlement as correcting a “historic injustice” and left-leaning outlets criticizing the settlement as an example of favoritism because of Flynn’s “support of Trump.”

Both sides worked together to promote the false narrative that Flynn is a faithful supporter of President Trump.

After paying no attention to the major stories I discussed last week that proved beyond a doubt that Flynn is working against Trump — Dan Bongino pointing to his military grade PSYOPs against conservatives, promotion of a CCP-linked propagandist, and more — they all run with the story about his settlement.

Shortly after this story ran its course, Flynn posted an image of his statement on his letterhead supposedly signed by President Trump, claiming that Trump “signed off on” his statement.

I’ve run this through advanced paid models of Grok, ChatGPT and Claude AI and they all think it’s a fake. There is no statement from Trump or anyone outside of Flynn’s immediate family to corroborate it and there is no image of what looks like an actual piece of paper signed by the President. If President Trump were to “sign off on” Flynn’s statement, wouldn’t he have included a personal note to Flynn or have posted it himself on Truth Social?

But all we have is what appears to be a forgery from Flynn, but nevertheless it was useful in providing reassurance to his millions of followers who were beginning to doubt him.


CPAC: Truth Peaks Through the Woke Right Veil

President Trump wisely skipped CPAC after Epstein’s BFF Steve Bannon, Matt Gaetz, and a host of other Israel-obsessed Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) promoters filled the speaking schedule.

In that milieu, Josh Hammer took the main stage and spoke right through the woke right squeals and heckling as he called out the rot by name. He named Tucker Carlson, Matt Gaetz, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and the broader “Podcastistan” influencer class for what they are—explicitly anti-MAGA. He pointed out (as I did last week) that Carlson hosted a CCP mouthpiece who proposed America join China, Russia, and Iran as “equal partners” in a new world order, and that Carlson affirmed it as the wisest possible advice. He connected the dots to Alexander Dugin, noting that the goal of these influencers is to build a coalition that “makes America great by making Russia and China great.” He called it what it is: the direct advancement of our enemies’ interests. And he reminded CPAC that Trump himself has labeled these figures as “not MAGA,” and that Republicans trust Trump over Carlson and Kelly by an 83-to-6 margin.

Here’s a clip:

Sarah Maekin, who served in the first Trump administration as the President’s Senior Advisor on International Religious Freedom, delivered an equally critical message on a topic the Flynn network desperately wants you to ignore: Russia’s systematic persecution of Christians. She told CPAC that Russia has bombed, shelled, and looted 650 Christian churches in occupied Ukraine. That they have murdered at least 49 pastors, priests, and evangelical leaders—torturing many of them before killing them. That in Russian-occupied territory, only one church is allowed, and you can be arrested for practicing any other faith.

This is what the Flynn/Russia influence network doesn’t want you to hear. They want you to believe Russia is not a threat — or is even an ally — and we need to disband NATO as we just let them have Ukraine.


Flynn’s New Favorite Influencer Shares Russia’s Vision

I reported last week about how Mike Flynn called Tucker Carlson’s interview of Jiang Xueqin “the most powerful and insightful strategic analysis I’ve heard in the past decade.” This week a new video was published of Jiang in front of a classroom smart board walking his audience through Alexander Dugin’s vision for “Putin’s World Order.”

He calls for the end of the “unipolar moment of American dominance” because our Constitutional system “breaks apart communities,” is “anti-human” and “abhorent.”

This is what Tucker Carlson platformed and Mike Flynn just endorsed.

He insists America will collapse following a civil war, and presents his vision for the Russia-led “multipolar world order” that would ensue. As a result, Russia will become “The third Rome.”

This insurgency that I’ve been calling out within state GOPs, churches, and the influencer network on the right for over two years is showing itself to be aggressively advocating the destruction of America.


The Unauthorized Russian Duma Tour Through the U.S. Capitol

On March 28, Republican representatives Anna Paulina Luna, Eli Crane, Derrick Van Orden, Andy Ogles, and Vicente Gonzalez hosted sanctioned members of the Russian Duma—including Vyacheslav Nikonov, grandson of the Vyacheslav Molotov who signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact with Hitler to carve up Europe—on an unauthorized personal tour of the U.S. Capitol. The Hill reported that they entered Speaker Mike Johnson’s suite of offices through the balcony, unannounced, while Johnson was not present. The Hill reporter on scene was discouraged from asking the group further questions. A member of Russia’s United Russia party, Svetlana Zhurova, acknowledged it was her first time in the Capitol.

Van Orden said of the Russian lawmakers: “one guy I guarantee he used to be a KGB agent—that’s a very good, educated guess. But pleasant enough.”

I was the first to report that it appeared that Turning Point’s Tyler Bowyer helped lead the group. I recognized Bowyer in video taken by The Hill, and after publishing about it heard from someone who personally recognized Bowyer inside the Capitol with Luna and the Russians. Bowyer, who tweeted on March 26 that it was “Big news today as we have GREAT congressmen hosting the Russian Duma,” is the same man who tweeted in February 2022—three weeks before Putin’s full-scale invasion—that he “lived in Russia and studied Stalinism.” By March 2025, the story had shifted: now he “lived on the border of Ukraine and Russia.” His involvement in facilitating this Capitol tour deserves serious scrutiny.

In December, the same lawmakers who welcomed these Russians in March had already rolled out the red carpet for Russia-linked propagandists and Putin-adjacent clergy on Capitol Hill back in December.


Battle Lines: Massie vs. Trump, Amplified by RT

Some issues draw champions from both sides, and some issues form clear lines of demarcation. The effort to unseat Rep. Thomas Massie is the latter.

The Flynn network, Russian propagandists, groypers, Israel-haters, and Libertarians all converge in support of Massie. Massie has relentlessly promoted TDS talking points against Trump.

Trump, Bongino, and the entire counterinsurgency that has formed around Bongino on X support Ed Gallrein.

Rep. Thomas Massie is being relentlessly amplified by Russia Today(RT)—Russian state propaganda that the State Department has said should be treated like a covert intelligence operation. They’re painting him as a victim-hero while blaming Israel for every problem on Earth. Massie held a “Massie Money Bomb” fundraiser with MTG—and RT reposted it, with MTG’s quote about “three Jewish billionaires” and their supposed loyalty to Israel right there on Russian state media’s feed.

The Kentucky primary on May 19 will be a battle of Team America (Gallrein) v. Team anti-America (Massie). Polymarket currently shows Gallrein with a 65%-35% lead over Massie, but if you spend any time on X you could be led to believe Massie is more popular.


Roger Stone Posts Twice in Response to My Reporting

Roger Stone posted twice this week in response to my reporting on his involvement in the 2024 “Plan B” campaign for Flynn for President.

Roger Stone responds to my reporting on his Plan B campaign of Flynn for President

He claimed that he simply made a comment in 2023 about Flynn being a better candidate than DeSantis or Nikki Haley. In his second post, the next day, he omitted his profane conclusion but copied and pasted his first three paragraphs as you can see above.

The problem is that the documented record tells a different story—and that Stone’s story has changed as well. Stone stated on Alex Jones’ show in 2021 that they were running a campaign for Flynn for President, and I documented the infrastructure around that effort, which goes far beyond casual “contingency planning” and included a years’ long effort to take over state GOPs in order to take over the 2024 RNC convention from the floor.

The fact that Stone felt compelled to post twice indicates that my reporting is having an impact.


The WHY Behind All of It: The Russia-China Joint Declaration

The Flynn/Massie/Tucker/Candace/Fuentes insurgency comes down to a single question: Do we want the United States of America, our Constitutional system, and the US Dollar to remain the guiding force in world politics and economics? Or do we help bring about a multipolar world order led by the CCP and Russia?

The Flynn networks have planted their flag squarely on the side of Russia and the CCP. Trump is representing the USA—and therefore the individual human rights and freedoms of the citizens of every country on Earth.

Last week, I came across this February 2022 joint declaration between Russia and the Chinese Communist Party, published just 3 weeks before Russia invaded Ukraine. The document lays out the Russia-CCP alignment around four explicit goals—goals that map precisely onto the chaos the Flynn network has been engineering since Flynn’s 2013 visit to the Kremlin’s GRU.

The document outlines four main goals:

Multipolarization of the world—replacing the United States as the dominant world power. This is the endgame. Every time you hear “multipolar world order” treated as a virtue, you’re hearing Dugin’s language laundered through CCP propaganda.

Economic globalization—replacing the US Dollar as the world’s reserve currency. If the Dollar loses its reserve status to a BRICS currency, interest rates skyrocket, borrowing costs surge, and Americans face a devastating transfer of wealth to Beijing and Moscow. This is what Jiang Xueqin was selling on Tucker’s show when he said the collapse of the petrodollar would “benefit the world.” It would benefit their world.

It still blows my mind that Tucker Carlson and Mike Flynn endorsed this.

Social informatization—monitoring and controlling the beliefs of the public. This is exactly what I’ve documented about Satanist Michael Aquino’s MindWar, which I’ve argued has defined Flynn’s entire career. The central premise: those who determine the beliefs of the public determine the future. It is an occult-oriented belief at its core, and Dugin has also has a well-documented background with the occult.

Cultural diversification—an obsessive focus on the differences that divide and isolate us rather than our shared humanity. Every wedge the network drives—between parties, factions, religions, denominations, ethnicities—serves this goal.

Everything these anti-American propagandists are doing is aimed at distracting us from this plan and how it would signal the end of American freedom and relative prosperity. Everything they do is aimed at dividing and destroying the GOP and our Catholic and Protestant churches—the very institutions that are our greatest defense. And they are obsessed with causing us to hate Israel and NATO, our greatest allies against the Russia-Iran-China axis.

If you want to understand why we’re experiencing all the chaos, hatred, division, and confusion—this is where you start. Read the declaration (or ask AI to summarize - it’s long and full of doublespeak). It’s all there.

The mask is off. The lines are drawn. Michigan just showed what winning looks like when we reject the network. The rest of MAGA has a choice to make.
