FBI Director Nominee Kash Patel Sued Me: Here’s Why It Matters

He is a weapon of the real “deep state” collapsing democracy. He will create the American Stasi.

As a U.S. citizen exercising my free speech, I began warning about Mike Flynn, QAnon and Russian interference in our elections starting in August 2020, during the first Trump administration. In the 4 1/2 years since, I have experienced a ruthless onslaught of attacks for my reporting, which includes “lawfare” — the intentional weaponization of the legal system as part of an effort to silence, disrupt or harm an opponent.

The first lawsuit was by retired Lt. General Mike Flynn, a remarkable piece of legal propaganda that regurgitated a number of smear campaigns created by Flynn’s trolls, stalkers, and media plants — which accused me of calling him various names. It started as a $75,000 lawsuit engineered to stay in Sarasota Court. When the judge didn’t cooperate as he hoped, Flynn escalated his lawsuit to include Rick Wilson for $10 million in federal court, then added MeidasTouch for $50 million. Their crimes were acknowledging that I exist.

When that failed to stop me from speaking out, Flynn had his good friend and loyal operative Kash Patel, formerly Chief of Staff in the Pentagon on J6 and slated for a hearing tomorrow to be FBI Director, copycat sue me for $10 million in Nevada.

Among the accusations of Kash Patel is that I called him a “chud” and a “Kremlin asset.” For the record, all of this is true.

In the last few weeks, Russian state media has said that Kash Patel is “our boy” who will be “a beaut,” “dismantle America brick by brick,” and turn the FBI into a “museum of political repression.”

I have first-hand knowledge of this reality, now. As I write this, my lawyers are spending money Mike Flynn and Kash Patel know I don’t have — to punish me for the crime of telling the truth about them, and to challenge the Sullivan Rule, which protects journalists who write about “public figures,” a role Flynn and Patel pride themselves on. They know their cases will never prevail, and that I have nothing to give them if they did. But that is not the point.

This is “hybrid” or “fifth generation warfare” against what they perceive as a dangerous opponent. It’s a small example of “political repression,” to quote the Russians. My rights as an American are being trampled right now. They were being trampled during the Biden Administration — because our justice system is already broken. It’s an ancient, glacial, incomprehensible mess driven by money, power and influence. It needs a reboot.

Regardless, imagine what Patel and Flynn will do with the power of the federal government, not just to me, but to the nation. If they will go to these lengths to silence one guy who writes on Twitter and Substack, what will they do to media organizations, to political opponents, and to marginalized communities?

When they say they want “retribution,” what they mean is they want to erase history of their own crimes. They are engaged in a massive Goebbels-like DARVO (Deny, Accuse, Reverse Victim & Offender) campaign to blame Democrats, “Russiagate” and whatever other conspiracy theories they can conjure up for crimes they committed themselves. They will now have the ability to enforce this alternate reality with the full power of the federal government.

The best example of how I expect a Patel-led FBI to function is like the Stasi, the East German secret police, who implemented a program on their own people called Zersetzung.

Zersetzung (pronounced [t͡sɛɐ̯ˈzɛt͡sʊŋ], German for "decomposition" and "disruption") was a psychological warfare technique used by the Ministry for State Security (Stasi) to repress political opponents in East Germany during the 1970s and 1980s. Zersetzung served to combat alleged and actual dissidents through covert means, using secret methods of abusive control and psychological manipulation to prevent anti-government activities. People were commonly targeted on a pre-emptive and preventive basis, to limit or stop activities of dissent that they may have gone on to perform, and not on the basis of crimes they had actually committed. Zersetzung methods were designed to break down, undermine, and paralyze people behind "a facade of social normality" in a form of "silent repression".

This type of “silent repression” is what they want. Everyone must play along with the alternate reality, the alternate history, they are trying to create, or be silenced — by the state.

Kash Patel is a dangerous sociopath, a foreign agent, and an enemy of American democracy. If we put him in charge of the FBI, no one, anywhere, will be safe.
