As a descendant of the Spartans, this is beautifully written and describes the battlefield perfectly! Thank you for reminding us that we are in this together! Blessings.🙏
I think that Women Warriors are involved in this spiritual war but view it differently. One day I hope men will realize that we are fighting right beside them always. AND we all are on the HEROS Journey.
Lots of men are nurses dear ron.! And they are good nurses. Many are Warriors in the health care industry alongside the women. This is not merely a physical battle we are in, it is also a spiritual battle. Men and women are fighting for us all over the globe, to save the children and sex slaves and to fight demons and speak about things which cause them to loose all they have and they risk their lives by standing up for truth, love and all that is right and good. This is a war that is challenging us all to be the best version of ourselves and the hero in our stories. That is what I mean because a Warrior and Hero is no part of the military only.
Sorry about that Sharon. I've warned him several times. I don't care what you believe, who you believe in. I don't like belittling and degrading and condescending. And since this is my space, I just don't allow it. So apologies. I've warned him several times before. This wasn't you that made me ban him. It was just me asking him several times to be respectful and he wasn't. Hope you have a great day.
You have a very narrow view of what is happening, but I will leave you there! This is so much more than physical and one day you may be open to exploring that aspect. You are a person, who sees a warrior as a man in a uniform. Most do! Perhaps you will meet another type of Warrior in your travels and understand from a different perspective. We all have different perspectives and come from different experience.
Hey Ron, I thought you said you weren't going to engage in here anymore, am I going to have to block you? Because I don't want you peddling your bullshit in my fucking comments. Last warning.
Ron you are so wrong about me and you have your crosses to bear it sounds like. They have nothing to do with me or this conversation. Neither does your age and health concerns. I have been here a very long time, saved so many lives that it would make your head swim and I am a Woman Warrior. No more can be said except I love my life, I love my GOD Parents and this spiritual battle has been far more rewarding than all of the physical battles I have had or been in. Take care, Ron. WWG1WGA
You’re right—it’s not a popularity contest. But in an informational war, the spread of your message is the battle. It’s not about being liked, it’s about having reach, impact, and the ability to counter shape the narrative.
If no one is hearing what you’re saying, it doesn’t matter how ‘right’ you think you are. Influence isn’t everything, but in this domain, it’s a critical weapon.
You made a narrative claim, and it’s wrong. Care to share any shred of fact that backs up your “Fauci” style narrative?? Or are you just, well, irrelevant?
Information war. Alex Jones has copyright on that. Do you have a real name oh brave warrier? I'm guessing the closest you ever got to real conflict is your keyboard. You need to read my 'stack.' I could have asked AI to write what you wrote. It said nothing. Just Q-Anon word salad. Here is an example of AI being tasked with writing at your level. https://timothywiney.substack.com/p/even-chatgpt-is-sick-of-weasel-language
Yepper, I can back Andrew up ...that is who he is.
Winey, you completely miss the point. There is no Q, there are no "coms", and there isn't any Secret Squirrel 💩 DEVOLUNATIC Decoder Rings... Just honest knowledge of our inalienable rights and liberties set forth in the US Constitution, the Article of Confederation and the Declaration of Independence.
I will not tolerate people who comment on my Substack with belittling or degrading remarks. Let me be clear: I never start conflicts—ever. But I will absolutely finish them. I’m done engaging with those who want to belittle or degrade others. I’ll shut that down immediately and without hesitation.
Did Michael Flynn consult with the Turkish military?
ChatGPT
There is no definitive evidence proving that Michael Flynn directly consulted with the Turkish military. However, Michael Flynn, former National Security Advisor under President Donald Trump, did have business dealings related to Turkey before his time in the White House.
Flynn's consulting firm, the Flynn Intel Group, was hired by a company with ties to the Turkish government to influence U.S. policy regarding Fethullah Gülen, a Turkish cleric living in exile in the U.S. The company was reportedly seeking to have Gülen extradited to Turkey, which was a priority for the Turkish government. Flynn did not register as a foreign agent at the time of this work, which later led to scrutiny and legal challenges.
While Flynn's dealings were with Turkish interests, there has been no solid evidence indicating direct involvement with the Turkish military specifically. Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators about his contacts with Russian officials and his failure to disclose foreign lobbying ties, but the allegations around consulting with the Turkish military remain unproven.
You said
Did Flynn lie about these dealings, and did this play a role in his firing?
ChatGPT
Yes, Michael Flynn did lie about his dealings related to Turkey, which played a significant role in his firing as National Security Advisor. The key issue was his false statements to federal investigators and Vice President Mike Pence regarding his conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in December 2016. However, his ties to Turkey also became a source of controversy.
Flynn's consulting firm, the Flynn Intel Group, was hired by a firm with links to the Turkish government to advocate for the extradition of Fethullah Gülen, a cleric whom Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan blamed for a 2016 coup attempt. Flynn did not register as a foreign agent while doing this work, which violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
In 2017, after Flynn had already been appointed as National Security Advisor, it was revealed that he had failed to disclose these foreign lobbying efforts, and his work with Turkey became a point of concern. Flynn's failure to register under FARA and his misstatements to the FBI about his interactions with foreign officials, including Turkish interests, led to legal scrutiny.
Flynn resigned as National Security Advisor on February 13, 2017, after it became public that he had misled Vice President Pence and other officials about his contacts with Kislyak. Though the lies about Russia were the primary reason for his resignation, his ties to Turkey also contributed to the controversies surrounding his tenure and eventual departure from the Trump administration.
Later, Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about these contacts during the Russia investigation, though his case was later dismissed by the Trump administration in 2020.
You need to upgrade that model you have there. It’s ok rookie, you’ll learn. You’ll learn that you cannot take what these GPT models tell you without checking.
The initial response conflates several issues and misses key distinctions. While Michael Flynn’s actions regarding Turkey and Russia were controversial, the suggestion that he lied about his Turkish dealings specifically as a cause for his firing is inaccurate. Here’s a clearer breakdown:
1. Flynn’s Work Related to Turkey:
Flynn’s consulting firm, Flynn Intel Group, was hired by a company tied to Turkish interests to advocate for the extradition of Fethullah Gülen. This lobbying effort should have been registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), but Flynn failed to do so at the time. While this was scrutinized later, it wasn’t the primary reason for his firing.
2. Misstatements About Russian Contacts:
Flynn’s resignation as National Security Advisor stemmed directly from his misstatements to Vice President Pence and other officials regarding his conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. He had discussed U.S. sanctions on Russia before taking office, then denied these discussions, creating a credibility issue within the administration.
3. Legal Issues and Plea:
Flynn later pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his conversations with Kislyak, not about his dealings with Turkey. His work for Turkish interests became a separate matter of scrutiny but did not directly lead to his firing. The plea agreement was tied to the Russia investigation, not his Turkish lobbying efforts.
4. Flynn and the Turkish Military:
The claim that Flynn consulted with the Turkish military remains speculative and unsupported by evidence. His work was tied to Turkish political and business interests, not their military. Speculation around this conflation undermines the credibility of the argument.
In summary, Flynn’s firing was due to his misstatements about Russia, not Turkey. His lobbying for Turkish interests was a legal and ethical controversy but did not play a direct role in his resignation. Any assertion that Flynn consulted with the Turkish military lacks evidence and should be treated with caution.
Bijan Rafiekian, also known as Bijan Kian, co-founder of the Flynn Intel Group alongside former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, faced legal scrutiny over alleged undisclosed lobbying efforts for the Turkish government. Here’s a comprehensive overview of the case:
Initial Conviction (July 2019):
In July 2019, after a six-day trial, a jury convicted Rafiekian on two counts: conspiracy to act as an unregistered agent of a foreign government (Turkey) and acting as an unregistered foreign agent. The prosecution argued that Rafiekian and his associate, Kamil Ekim Alptekin, conspired to influence U.S. politicians and public opinion against Fethullah Gülen, a Turkish cleric residing in the U.S., without proper registration under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
Judge Overturns Conviction (September 2019):
In September 2019, U.S. District Judge Anthony Trenga overturned the jury’s verdict, citing insufficient evidence that Rafiekian knowingly acted as a Turkish government agent or intentionally failed to register under FARA. Judge Trenga granted a judgment of acquittal and conditionally ordered a new trial if the acquittal were reversed on appeal.
Appeals Court Reinstates Conviction (March 2021):
The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed Judge Trenga’s acquittal in March 2021, reinstating Rafiekian’s convictions. The appellate court found that the district court erred in its judgment and remanded the case for further proceedings.
District Court Orders New Trial (March 2022):
Upon remand, Judge Trenga reaffirmed his stance in March 2022, granting Rafiekian a new trial. He concluded that the jury’s guilty verdicts were against the weight of the evidence presented.
Appeals Court Upholds New Trial Order (May 2023):
In May 2023, the Fourth Circuit upheld the district court’s decision to grant a new trial, agreeing that the evidence did not sufficiently support the original convictions.
Prosecution Dismissed (September 2023):
On September 11, 2023, federal prosecutors dropped all charges against Rafiekian with prejudice, effectively ending the legal proceedings against him. This decision concluded a protracted legal battle that began in 2018.
Throughout this legal journey, Rafiekian faced allegations of covertly operating as an agent for Turkey without proper disclosure. However, the judicial process, marked by reversals and appeals, ultimately led to the dismissal of all charges against him.
