I'm finding the volume on the video a little low. Had to max the vol and still not easy to hear. Or is it just my damned aging ears?

I have said along the way, last ten to fifteen years, that there was no such thing as “cultural Marxism”. Meaning it was made up, manufactured, propaganda. It seemed to me that it was a direct counter to a real sociological generational decision as cultural creatives. Cultural creatives had do no harm built into their ethics as we still had do no harm built into our societal ethics.

Cultural creatives would have been Gen X. We were good at what we do. Like Jim with his work in games and journalist and even photographic journalist I miss and so forth. We were good because do no harm was built into our ethics. Someone like Flynn must have been thrilled when the do no harm ethics changed because that would also mean for subordinates.

Sharon Brown, I have no clue who you are because I use my real name. That is really me standing in an estuary cove in the Pacific in 2012. Before I had to leave my home. That is really my journalistic photography.

Bart Gellman is on the Bulwark Podcast with Charlie Sykes today being just as irresponsible as he was in his article. "Flynn is mentally ill ..." blah blah blah. Lazy reporting omg.

I am just now listening to the podcast "The Episode Where We Bitch a Lot" with you and Gal.

* Love these convos or even the ones where you just talk - keep them coming please

* I feel so validated after the last hearing - thank you! I was so aggravated after that hearing about the "ha ha ha fight in the Oval Office Dr Pepper Who is Overstock guy blah blah" jfc these people were going to running the gd government they were / are serious national security threats!!! (Preaching to the choir.) The fact that Cipollone didn't know who Byrne was? wtf?

* Also feel validated re: discussion of Chris Krebs' tweet.

* You felt the same about the Gellman on Sykes' podcast I see.

I had also said what about Flynn in early November 2016 so I understood where Bart was coming from.

There it was in the interview. "They found each other." Find the Others. That was a directive.

Thanks I like Bart Gellman. I found his book Dark Mirror very helpful. So glad he was able to put some of the things he experienced into words. Especially in 2016 too.

The article and the podcast are disinformation sadly. Mike Flynn is not crazy.

Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Interference in a United States Election was September 12, 2018. The timeline for the Watnick digital coders was there. I can understand why he hooked back up with Sidney Powell, whom he needed to be Special Counsel, to help cover his tracks. Of course he is not crazy.

I am sorry you feel Barts work on Flynn since 2016 is disinformation. It is the most constructive we have in my opinion since early November 16 besides Heidi's work and connecting the dots of find the others. I found that pretty scary when that showed up online well before 2016 in the context of misinformation and disinformation that it was in then. It was McCrystal who said that Flynn is crazy. A journalist died back then too.

This is what I knew before I knew of hate once upon a time before I ever knew of shame.

Macondo for an oil prospect, like Arsenal of Democracy designed by gamer-gating now men, was not the same as our American mind knew, now a few generations of American mind.

'Rebooting the Arsenal of Democracy' (Palmer Luckey) is not the same as FDR meant. Green New Deal was much more mothered to Elinor and definitely second-cousined to Huey. Propaganda comes in so many different forms but green new deal was definitely more congruent to our American generational mind.

I hate these people. I have no shame in saying this. Hate has been the most horrific emotion I have ever had to experience. It was not an emotion I was prone to. That is why I hate these people and the oath they took. Glad that clip got included by the committee.

See, Sharon Brown, I think it is human beings like Ryan Nichols who might one day be able to confront Mike Flynn to his face at a military tribunal. Barts work will be very helpful.

I hope Ryan Nichols can understand this. Can understand that chauvinistic oath. It was designed to make hate chronic. That is sadism. That is not the oath he took to our nation.

I was thinking about what you said and your heart.

Slept on it and woke up and remembered talking to a woman who, later unfortunately got enveloped into the sovereign citizens movement. She said something about her town started to change when someone showed up at a Telluride Film Festival. She did not say who it was and would not.

This morning I got up to find low and behold “Dear White People” attached to Lebedev (Leonid). The methodology of weaponizing hate just pretty much didn't change. Same playbook moved into news and entertainment.

I remember screaming shortly after 2016. False memories. False memories. I did probably sound like a crazy person but I knew it was real. It lives in that same playbook.

So endeared to see Carole Cadwalladr smiling face smiling back at us again. For a while there I got really nervous. This has all been so - such a challenge.

No doubt they needed leveling out. The actual physical pain excruciating. I came to Texas with a reputable university diagnosis in hand. No extension of Medicaid in this state and my disability claim got lost in the basement in 2019. As I said before in my best Hannah Arendt. It was all so much worse than grift.
