>>15431807 General Flynn:
Part 1 of 2
UncoverDC spoke at length with General Flynn on Friday morning. Flynn said he had no idea his honorary degree was revoked until the media wrote about it, and a friend from Rhode Island called to lament that he was being “persecuted” in the press again.
Flynn spoke candidly about his disgust with the censorship and cancel culture that seeks to destroy anyone who disagrees with the political elites in this country, whether it is in government, the media, or the educational system “from top to bottom.”
This isn’t the first time he has been “canceled,” said Flynn. He has been banned by Twitter, and, in August, Chase Bank sent a letter to his wife Lori stating they had canceled their credit cards due to “reputational risk.” Chase later came back on “bended knee,” said Flynn, apologizing to him for sending the letter. “I still have the voice message from Chase, saying we are on bended knee,” Flynn explained, “Chase was losing all kinds of accounts and wanted us to let things go.”
Flynn says that this is not the first attempt by the university to revoke his degree. Early last summer, President David Dooley, President of URI at the time, “had the courage and the guts” to contact Flynn directly because the Honorary Degree Committee had been considering revocation of his degree at the time. Flynn explained:
“Dooley actually had the guts to call me and have a conversation. The former President of the University had the courage and the guts to call me out of respect. And after our conversation, he fully understood the persecution and the corruption that I experienced. He then resigned in August after 10 years” of service to the University.
About Parlange, on the other hand, Flynn said:
“His first big ax is to remove honorary doctorates from people because of the political persecution and the political environment we’re in. This guy he’s just showing his colors, but he’s also demonstrating where academia is today in this country. Our entire education system, top to bottom today, is progressive. It leans to only one side.”
Cancel culture, says Flynn, is a huge problem today, most of it grounded in nothing but politics. He believes it lacks substance or even the slightest attempt to seek the facts of a situation if you are on the “wrong side of politics.” Few even care to ask a curious question. Flynn continued:
“Mike Lindell’s banks canceled his addiction charity. Direct TV, which is owned by AT&T, canceled OAN…If you supported Donald Trump, this is what it is about. Rudy Giuliani was America’s mayor during 9/11, and I get this for being America’s General. I fought back, using the legal system. We have to be able to fight back against this corruption that we have, not only in our government but in our academic institutions and our banking institutions. I have been banned and censored because I supported Trump.”
One of the most important messages Flynn wishes to communicate is that, while he is currently a registered Republican, he has been a life-long Democrat. He says that the cancel culture should not be, and is not, something that many Democrats want to embrace in this country. Like him, Flynn says, there are many Democrats out there who are “Pro-life, pro-family, and pro-business. If you look at Biden’s popularity, it is no surprise that it is down 30%. I want people to know that this is not about party ideology. This is about our country.”
In Flynn’s case, much of this started with the Russia investigation, which, if examined with even the slightest intellectual curiosity, shows Flynn was targeted solely for political reasons and because of fear of what he might do in his position of National Security Advisor. Few have actually read his case or the letter he wrote explaining why he agreed to cooperate and what happened to him and his family. Many people have somehow forgotten that the DOJ dismissed his case because of “gross prosecutorial abuse.”
“They came after me,” Flynn continued, “Because they were afraid of what I was going to be able to do as a national security adviser to organizations like the intelligence community and probably the Department of Justice—and certainly the FBI. They were afraid about what I was going to be able to do. They knew because I know how they operate. I know how these organizations are. But why do they fear Mike Flynn so much? The quick answer is because I know exactly how they operate, so if I’m in the position of national security adviser to the President of the United States, I can actually fix those things. I can fix those problems—and I mean in a big way because I will make them run like hell….Continued
