Sharper than a Serpent's Tooth

LIN WOOD UPDATE:

Wood just posted a screenshot purporting to show that retired general *and former National Security Adviser* Mike Flynn:

A) gets news from notorious white supremacist/Holocaust denier Hal Turner

and

B) always knew Q was a fraud.

Not a surprise

It appears that right wing nut job Michael Flynn has been dissing QAnon in private, referring to that set of conspiracies as, "Total nonsense."

It really is remarkable just how transparent a grift the extreme right-wing is, and how much the stars of that movement hold their followers in contempt:

Former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn has embraced his position as a hero to QAnon conspiracy theorists. He took the QAnon oath, sold QAnon T-shirts, and even auctioned off a QAnon quilt. He appeared at a QAnon convention and signed books with a QAnon slogan. Some QAnon followers even believe that Flynn is “Q,” the mysterious figure behind QAnon.

But a recording released late Saturday night by a one-time Flynn ally suggests that the retired three-star general privately believes QAnon to be “total nonsense.”

On Saturday night, pro-Trump lawyer and QAnon booster Lin Wood released a recording of what purports to be a phone call between Wood and Flynn on Telegram. The audio’s publication comes amid a right-wing civil war pitting Wood against one-time allies like Flynn and other figures involved in the 2020 attempt to overturn the election.

In the call, Wood complains to Flynn that his QAnon supporters had attacked Wood online. But Flynn attempts to disown QAnon, claiming it’s a “disinformation campaign” created by the CIA.


“I think it’s a disinformation campaign,” Flynn said on the call. “I think it’s a disinformation campaign that the CIA created. That’s what I believe. Now, I don’t know that for a fact, but that’s what I think it is. I think it’s a disinformation campaign.”

Later in the recording, Flynn called QAnon “total nonsense.”

In less than 24 hours, he has gone from a QAnon hero to being accused of worshiping Satan in some quarters. 

I am amused.
