Sloppy Steve is all in with Godfather Michael, Michael, Michael Flynn #IrishMafia

Stanley Mcchrystal and Michael Flynn self described Iris’s Mafia of Fort Bragg

The greatest accomplishment of Flynn’s military career was revolutionizing the way that the clandestine arm of the military, the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), undertook the killing and capture of suspected terrorists and insurgents in war zones. Stanley McChrystal, Flynn’s mentor, had tapped him for the job. They were both part of the self-described “Irish mafia” of officers at the Fort Bragg Army base, in North Carolina. In Afghanistan and Iraq, Flynn ordered JSOC commandos to collect and catalogue data from interrogations, captured electronic equipment, pocket trash—anything that could yield useful information. By analyzing these disparate scraps of intelligence, they were able to discover that Al Qaeda was not a hierarchical group after all but a dynamic network of cells and relationships. As I learned while doing research for my book “Top Secret America,” Flynn and McChrystal dramatically increased the pace of JSOC attacks on enemy hideouts by devising a system in which commandos on missions transferred promising data—cell-phone numbers, meeting locations—to analysts, who could then quickly point them to additional targets to hit. Multiple raids a night became common…

It was Indiana’s success story, Vice President Pence’s record of legislative and executive experience, and his strong family values that prompted President Donald Trump to select Mike Pence as his running mate in July 2016. The American people elected President Donald Trump and Vice President Pence on November 8, 2016. President Donald Trump and Vice President Pence entered office on January 20, 2017.

In February 2021, Vice President Mike Pence joined the Heritage Foundation as a distinguished visiting fellow. The Heritage Foundation helped shape Vice President Mike Pence’s conservative philosophy for decades and played a pivotal role advancing conservative policies throughout the Trump Administration. Vice President Pence also joined Young America’s Foundation as the Ronald Reagan Presidential Scholar. Long before Mike Pence became Vice President to President Donald Trump, the vision and leadership of Ronald Reagan inspired his youth.

Vice President Mike Pence remains grateful for the grace of God, the love and support of his family, and the blessings of liberty that are every American’s birthright.

>>>Nexus 7 has many intellectual godfathers. One is David Kilcullen, the retired Australian Lieutenant Colonel who became a rock star in national security circles as a guru of counterinsurgency, which he described as a "competition … to win the hearts, minds and acquiescence of the population." (.pdf) The reputation only grew, after he became a top advisor to Gen. David Petraeus in Iraq.

As his career moved on, Kilcullen became increasingly focused on numbers. In a traditional battle, it's easy to measure territory gained on enemies killed. But how do you gauge something as squishy as a town's loyalty? How do you tell if those allegiances are getting stronger or weaker over time?

The military spent hundreds of millions of dollars on everything from war-zone polling to computer modeling to figure that out. None of it seemed to work. But Kilcullen had a few ideas.

>How do you gauge something as squishy as a town's loyalty? The military spent hundreds of millions to figure that out. None of it seemed to work.

The best troops could do, Kilcullen concluded, was to collect indirect metrics: the price of goods in the local market, or the hassles of getting the products there. They're decent surrogates for "general popular confidence and security," he wrote. "In particular, exotic vegetables those grown outside a particular district that have to be transported further at greater risk in order to be sold in that district can be a useful telltale marker."

>>>A second Nexus 7 godfather is Maj. Gen. Michael Flynn. Until recently, Flynn was the head of U.S. intelligence in Afghanistan.
