The Tide is Turning in the Fight to Expose Michael Flynn
Flynn and his lieutenants are visibly nervous. Admission of CIA involvement. A shocking reversal in Arizona, Bongino signals a promising agenda, and bad actors acting badly.
Over the last two years, I’ve sacrificed a great deal to use my voice to speak unpopular truths about an insurgency within MAGA and state GOPs—one that threatens to burn the entire movement down. From the beginning, my only agenda has been to investigate the causes of division: first within the Michigan GOP, then across state GOPs nationwide, then within MAGA influencer circles, and ultimately to wade into the narrative warfare that is raging for our hearts and minds every day.
I’ve studied the leaders of this insurgency—their words and actions, their organizations and money flows—and I’ve come to a clear conclusion: what we are witnessing is a well-funded military-intelligence operation, with foreign influence, aimed at pulling a significant segment of MAGA away from Trump and into a nihilistic, highly radicalized belief system.
The operation is highly compartmentalized. Only those at the very top see the full picture. Many lower-level operatives are true believers who genuinely think they are helping to save the country. There are countless roles in this broad operation, which has targeted state and local Republican parties, churches, the Q-influencer movement, the health and freedom movement, the election integrity movement, J6 defendants, MAGA influencers, and nearly every state-level political campaign.
This is a battle for our hearts and minds—and it’s not simply right versus left. It’s more accurately described as the rational middle versus the extremes on both sides, along with the media ecosystems that thrive on division and the politicians and unelected bureaucrats who want to preserve their power and gravy trains.
It is war—a full-scale psychological war—and the battlefield is each one of us. We win with logic. They target people who believe discernment is intuitive or emotional. It isn’t. Discernment is a logical process. We win when we apply the science of logic to the evidence.
I’m going to skip around now to several of the key battlefields and show where we’re winning—and where we’re losing.
Patrick Byrne makes a stunning admission
It’s been several weeks since this happened, and I discussed it in my last podcast, but it’s too important to ignore: Patrick Byrne admitted he is an Obama-era CIA operative.
Before dismissing this as drug-fueled ranting—which it certainly resembles—let me explain why the admission is highly credible and deeply vindicating for my work.
It began in the early hours of December 8, when Byrne posted: “Stay tuned. I’ve gotten permission to release something. Let me prepare it.”
A few hours later, he appeared on Emerald Robinson’s show and proceeded to admit to several crimes while making a series of extraordinary statements. Here are the key points, followed by analysis:
He described his relationship with the CIA as a “mother” relationship.
“I became something called a Tier One intelligence asset, then in 2010/11 Obama elevated me to National Intelligence Asset.”
“I was told I would be the ‘ace in the hole’ for all the real tough situations.”
He said he worked for Brennan for four to five years prior, starting in 2006.
He admitted helping set up the Russian hoax against Trump.
He admitted lying about it: “I was fib-fibbing.”
He made an implicit incitement to murder military officers:
“I want to tell people in the military… ‘theoretically’ if you have officers who try to get you to take part in a color revolution, please kill them for us citizens. Just shoot them in the face.”
While the CIA admission is new, Byrne has long acknowledged working with “the government,” as I reported over a year ago. Stefanie Lambert also testified under oath in the Dominion v. Byrne case that Byrne was a “National Intelligence Asset.”
Notably, at the conclusion of that hearing, the judge took the highly unusual step of clearing the courtroom—except for Lambert—for “one unrelated matter.”
Flynn himself introduced Byrne on his podcast in November 2024 as someone the “national security state” asks to “do things on behalf of the U.S. government.”
Taken together, this strongly suggests Byrne’s admission is true. More importantly, the statement is against his own personal interest. Under Federal Rule of Evidence 804(b)(3), a statement against penal or pecuniary interest is deemed inherently credible:
“A statement that a reasonable person in the declarant’s position would have made only if they believed it to be true…”
If a court would likely treat Byrne’s admission as factual, so should we. And that raises serious questions:
Were Flynn and Byrne knowingly working together while helping set up Russiagate in 2016?
Did Flynn know Byrne’s role—and is that why they aligned?
Was their December 18, 2020 operation a CIA-sanctioned action against Trump?
Was the Masheen Fraud psyop CIA-directed?
Was the CIA involved in infiltration of state and local GOPs via The America Project?
Did the CIA direct Byrne to set up Tina Peters?
If Byrne’s operations targeted Americans on U.S. soil, does this violate the Smith-Mundt Act and the CIA’s own mandate?
These questions barely scratch the surface. They raise legitimate concerns about CIA involvement in failed election-integrity lawsuits, bad candidates, destructive policies, and corrosive narratives.
This new information is deeply vindicating. My core thesis has always been that the insurgency I’ve documented is an intelligence operation involving both foreign and domestic actors.
Flynn and Alex Jones run scared: “skipped dinner, sleepless night”
Just weeks later, Alex Jones cryptically referenced an emergency so serious it left him depressed—and even Flynn “didn’t know what to do.”
What caused Jones to skip dinner? What triggered talk of a “political uprising” to purge “sleeper cells” from Trump’s administration?
According to Jones and Flynn, Trump’s own administration is coming after them.
Flynn says, “They’re coming after my family.” This strongly suggests possible action related to Col. Earl Matthews’ testimony that he witnessed Charlie Flynn delay the J6 National Guard deployment over “optics.” It raises questions about Michael Flynn’s Fifth Amendment plea and whether the brothers communicated beforehand. Charlie Flynn was promoted after J6 and abruptly retired days after Trump’s 2024 victory.
Jones claims: “They are literally wargaming, during the Trump administration, how to come after us.” “Us” clearly includes Flynn, Jones, and later Steve Bannon—yet more vindication.
Jones then argues they must use Flynn’s network to “decapitate” the so-called deep state within Trump’s administration—meaning those who want accountability for the Flynn network.
Then comes the meltdown: Jones admits Dan Bongino called him to say he’s coming after them.
Since then, I’ve seen more growth, engagement, and coordinated attacks in two weeks than in the previous year combined. Demand for answers about why Trump may be turning on Flynn is exploding.
Bongino confronts Gaetz—and the network panics
Confirmation followed immediately. Bongino publicly went after the “black pillers” and directly confronted Matt Gaetz.
Bongino’s little retort sent shockwaves throughout the Flynn network. Since then, they’ve cycled through frantic displays of loyalty to Trump, narratives designed to weaken him (“Where are the arrests?” “Israel First,” “Trump’s economy sucks”), and relentless attacks on Bongino and the FBI—proxy attacks on Bongino himself.
To be “black-pilled” is to embrace political nihilism. I’ve reported for years that nihilism is the network’s core objective: convince people that everything is corrupt—elections, courts, Congress, even Trump—so they disengage from voting and lose faith in peaceful political solutions.
I saw this two years ago with Kristina Karamo and the “burn it all down” crowd. A hopeless population is easier to radicalize—and easier to push toward violence.
I don’t know what Bongino will do when his show relaunches. I don’t know if he’ll name names. But it’s clear he’s striking at the heart of the narrative war—and the network is rattled.
The tide is turning.
