You're right Jim. People are skating around issues because they are already giving up. They are self censoring hoping that trumps machine doesn't notice them. You have become a danger to them because you say what you mean and do the research to prove what you say. I also hope Flynn folds, or as the current expression goes, TACO's. The tech trump machine are only there because they both want something from each other. The techs want no more regulations infringing on their right to engineer you and trump wants them to steer the algorithms towards getting him "ratings." A match made in hell but here on earth. Neither care about the common man. It's just money money money. You are not alone Jim and if the whatever it is that the plasma in the ozone is that support comes your way. That "plasma ozone" stuff I made up.
The first 2 times I watched American MindF@ck, I was on my own. On subsequent viewing, I told friends I would cook for them, but we would watch this easily digestible, yet agita-causing piece about that OTHER FG, MF.
It was not until the 3rd viewing, when I heard Jim Stewartson say "Arrest Mike Flynn" at the VERY tail end of the documentary, last few seconds. It gave me chicken skin/ goosebumps/ the willies. And I get it 100%.
I hope the substack posse here affords some legal relief. I also hope the media gives it SOME kind of attention, but at this point I doubt it.
Defamation law is highly nuanced, and few lawyers are familiar with it. I hope you have access to a good lawyer who is familiar with it. Flynn's and Petal's cases appear to be an abuse of process intended to intimidate and silence critics. Some States have anti-SLAPP laws, though I'm not sure about Florida.
These trying times, with the layer of civilized norms torn off, reveal who people truly are. You are the Giver in Lou’s Lowry’s book. It’s on us to rise and share the burden.
I just read this post and then, your beginning post about QAnon and how you first recognized it as an ARG. My brain is now trying to take it all in. It is scary— because I am smart snd quick to catch onto most things— but this necessitates a willingness to let go of old boundaries of how the world works. I feel my mind resisting and wanting to stay in the old simpler reality….
Biden and his administration didn’t do that. And the people criticizing Biden weren’t/ aren’t doing it either.
To understand what you’re saying is to be frightened- because it is a whole reality. But it makes the crazy behavior make sense.
It still seems as if we should be able to create SOME sort of AR — alternate reality— that would draw them out if a death cult into a life/joy cult, no?
Flynn is a public figure; he must prove that you were actuated by actual malice and that you made certain statements knowing they were false...a very high bar indeed. You can't have a reasonable belief in the truthfulness of a statement and know it is false at the same time; the facts don't even matter. I'm sorry you have to go through all the stress(and expense) associated with this litigation; in the end, you will prevail.
I've got mad respect for the fact that you're taking on this deeply compromised, disgraced, and traitorous former general. He's played a far bigger role in helping to bring our country to this precipice than most people realize.
Every time I hear his name, I'm reminded of the pictures of him sitting a couple seats down from Putin at the RT Russian state propaganda gala, smiling from ear to ear. Between his work with the white Christian nationalist freak show "Reawaken America" and his pretty damn obvious ties to the Qanon psy-op, he's been working against our country for years now.
In fact, I specifically subscribed to you because you were the first person I've found that actually gave voice to the many different ways that Flynn appears to be tied to that wildly successful (for Trump and Putin at least) psy-op. I'm still shocked at how few people managed to connect those dots, or for that matter, even managed to recognize a glaringly obvious psy-op when it's spreading like a plague across our nation.
Regardless, I wish you the best of luck in this fight for what's right.
I 100% agree. We must fight back. And defamation lawsuits brought by public figures, who are held to a different standard than private citizens are hard to win. These two buffoons have years of social media posts that could come to haunt them. Good luck!

Godspeed, Jim. You're the only one with the truth on your side.

When the going gets really tough, I always defer to David Bowie.
Right now it's "Where Are We Now?" from The Next Day.
A million and one kudos from me! As always, stand tall and proud.
Good luck!! I am so with you. I can see from all the comments so many are too!
Right On 💥💪‼️
You are awesome! What a role model. Will be thinking of you in FL. Wishing you all the best.
Damn this sucks 🤬Hope all of this is over soon 🍀

Hey Jim what courthouse in Florida?
Depositions are a weird part of law. The opposing attorney is your bestie until the reporter starts typing and you can’t not answer. As noted.
Flynn is a liar and a stand your ground or I don’t recall is best with a smile.
All I’m saying is depositions are your best or worst friend. It’s all about what is allowed in court if it goes that far.
Flynn will fail. He’s proven to be an obstructive party.
I’m with you 100%.

Echoing the above
