EXCLUSIVE: OKC Bombing-Linked Terrorist Receives Taxpayer-Funded Sex Change

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) From federal informant to bank-robbing neo-Nazi terrorist to… transgender rights activist?

Meet Peter Kevin Langan, a biological male who resides in female prison and answers to the first name, Donna. As Jan. 6 inmates continue to languish in pretrial detention and men in the dubious Whitmer kidnaping conspiracy case rot away in supermax prison, Langan has received the first sex change in the history of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Langan, the former leader of the Aryan Republican Army terrorist organization, said in a court filing today that he received a vaginoplasty and breast augmentation surgery on Jan. 5, 2023.

The ex neo-Nazi has been suing the BOP since September 2021 for “violating the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment by not providing gender confirmation surgery.”

The BOP has now provided that surgery, but the lawsuit isn’t over. According to Langan, it would apparently be cruel and unusual if he’s denied facial hair removal surgery.

“Plaintiff’s position is that the case will not be moot unless and until Plaintiff receives permanent facial hair removal,” Langan said in the Tuesday filing.

Lawyers for Langan and the BOP told the court that they will continue to negotiate over the matter, and will file an update by June 15.

Langan has been a champion of sorts for the transgender movement in recent years, being featured in publications such as The Intercept for his litigation with the BOP over gender issues. He has reportedly disavowed his neo-Nazi past.

But as the former leader of the Aryan Republican Army—a group of white supremacist bank robbers who helped fund domestic terrorism with the proceeds of their crimes—Langan remains connected to the deadliest domestic terrorist attack in American history, the Oklahoma City bombing. These connections are thoroughly documented in court records, as well as by criminologist Mark Hamm in his 2001 book about the ARA, In Bad Company: America’s Terrorist Underground.

An avowed neo-Nazi by the early 1990s, Langan was imprisoned for armed robbery. But the U.S. Secret Service intervened to release him from prison to make him an informant, so that he could help track down a fellow neo-Nazi who had been plotting to kill President George H.W. Bush and incoming President Bill Clinton.

It was an offer Langan couldn’t refuse—except he did. When the Secret Service let Langan loose, he went rogue and disappeared with the man he was supposed to help apprehend.

Langan went on to declare war on the U.S. government and formed the ARA with the goal of robbing banks to fund the Aryan Nations and other neo-Nazi extremist groups. To that end, the ARA was one of the most prolific gangs of the twentieth century, robbing at least 22 banks in the mid-90s before its members were apprehended in 1996.

When he was arrested, Langan told authorities that his fellow ARA members were involved in the OKC bombing, which killed 168 people, including 19 children.

During his trial for his role in the bank robberies, Langan subpoenaed ARA associate Mark Thomas to testify about another ARA member’s connections to the OKC bombing.

“Thomas was prepared to take the stand and reveal that [fellow ARA member Kevin McCarthy] had assisted McVeigh,” Hamm wrote in In Bad Company.

“A week before Thomas was scheduled to testify, however, he was indicted in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, thus cancelling his appearance at the Langan trial. With that, Kevin McCarthy became a protected government asset, and the FBI abandoned the entire McVeigh-ARA connection.”

Langan was convicted of five bank robbery-related charges in 1997, and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. His cohorts received lighter sentences, including just five years for McCarthy (as part of a plea deal where he testified against Langan).

That didn’t stop Langan from trying to reveal the ARA-OKC connections about six years later, this time in the state trial of Terry Nichols, who helped McVeigh construct the Ryder Truck bomb but wasn’t in Oklahoma on the day of the attack.

Prosecutors objected to Nichols using Langan as a defense witness to testify about the ARA-OKC connections. At a hearing over the matter, FBI agent John Hersley testified that it was impossible for McCarthy to be involved in the bombing because he was in Iowa on April 19, 1995.

In doing so, Hersley contradicted McCarthy’s own alibi that he was in Kansas. Nevertheless, the judge accepted the FBI agent’s testimony and rejected Langan from testifying for Nichols.

Langan tried once more to introduce evidence about the ARA’s connections to the OKC bombing by filing a sworn court statement in a lawsuit by Utah attorney Jesse Trentadue, who had been suing the FBI for records about the bombing. But Trentadue’s case, too, was dismissed in 2010.

In his book In Bad Company, Hamm explained the likely reason why the U.S. government has ignored Langan’s allegations about the OKC bombing.

“According to Pete, the government needed witnesses to nail the coffin shut on the Langan case. The government was therefore willing to overlook McCarthy’s involvement in the Oklahoma City bombing in order to make their case against Langan. As egotistical as this sounds, it cannot be denied that this is a common tactic of government prosecutors,” Hamm wrote.

“Yet the real problem for the government, Langan concluded, was the embarrassing fact that the Secret Service had sprung him from jail back in 1993; after that, of course, he went on to form the Aryan Republican Army. And the weight of the evidence suggests that the Aryan Republican Army did, in the final analysis, play a direct role in the plot to bomb the Oklahoma City federal building.”

Failed Anti-Trump Bank Goes Viral for ‘Cringe’ Video Touting Wokeness

(Abdul–Rahman Oladimeji Bello, Headline USA) Signature Bank, the failed anti-Trump bank shut down by New York’s state regulators, became a hot topic online after an ill-conceived ad from the disgraced institution went viral.

The ad, featuring a parody of Fun.’s “Some Nights,” broke the internet immediately after it was released, garnering over 700,000 views in a few hours, according to the Daily Mail.

The bank, which had invested heavily in cryptocurrency, reportedly had total assets worth $110.4 billion and total deposits of $88.6 billion as of December 2022. However, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is now in control after regulators shut it down. 

Grit Capital Founder Genevieve Roch–Decter slammed the parody ad via Twitter, saying that there was no way the bank would have escaped its current fate after having spent “millions of dollars to produce music videos & TV shows about themselves.”

In a separate tweet, Roch–Decter mentioned that a former bank employee had told her, “The Management Team was basically like the show, the Office. They’d waste money on things like producing parody videos.”

Additionally, Roch–Decter posted another parody video by the bank, which was more of a musical comedy sketch.

In her caption, she asked why the bank believed anyone would have trusted them with their money after watching those videos.

“This is a circus, not a bank,” she wrote.

Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis also noted during an interview Sunday for Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures that several recently failed financial institutions had misplaced their priorities, the Daily Mail reported.

“They are so concerned with DEI and politics and all kinds of stuff, and I think that diverted them from focusing on their core mission,” DeSantis said, echoing other conservative criticisms of Silicon Valley Bank’s decision to prioritize virtue-signaling over financial solvency.

SVB claimed to have no personnel in charge of risk management for eight months leading to January 2023, according to Fortune.

The Daily Mail report noted that the bank leaders in charge of risk assessment in the United Kingdom failed to understand their job roles properly as they focused more on “pro-diversity initiatives.”

In addition, Jay Ersapah—the chief risk officer in Europe, Africa and the Middle East—prided herself as a “queer person of color,” and seemed to focus more on woke initiatives than the core functions of her job. 

Leavitt: How a CCP Cyber-Attack Brought an American Law Firm to its Knees

(Karoline Leavitt, Headline USA contributor) The hack of Clark Hill law firm almost six years ago, which exposed the personal information and asylum application of political dissident Miles Guo, is a disturbing reminder of the lengths to which authoritarian regimes will go to silence dissent and suppress free speech.

Guo, a renowned critic of the Chinese Communist Party, is a colorful and highly effective figure within social media outlets, who has been outspoken on his views of the CCP and its human-rights abuses. In response, the CCP has targeted him with extensive misinformation campaigns and cyber-attacks.

Prior to engaging with Clark Hill, Guo had warned the firm about the requisite level of security necessary to protect his information. As a political dissident residing in New York, he had already experienced the reach of the CCP when protesters demonstrated outside his U.S. home and the government subjected him to targeted cyber-attacks.

He explicitly informed Clark Hill that they should similarly expect to be subjected to sophisticated cyber-attacks upon engagement. Despite these warnings, the firm was hacked, and no other clients’ information but Guo’s personal information, along with his asylum application, were exposed.

It is clear that the hack was executed by the CCP targeting Guo, and with no great difficulty, according to reports.

The CCP’s campaign to silence critics and suppress dissent has been well-documented, and this incident is just another example of their disregard for international norms and the rule of law. But it’s not just about Guo. This hack is a direct attack on the sanctity of asylum-seeking and the right to free speech.

By exposing Guo’s personal information and asylum application, the CCP has put him and his family in danger and sent a message to others who may be considering speaking out against the regime. The CCP’s actions are a direct assault on those values.

Following this disastrous turn of events, eyes began to turn to the involvement of the legal firm Guo had hired. That’s where the story heats up.

The recent ruling by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in the case of Guo against the law firm Clark Hill is a significant development in the ongoing debate over cybersecurity and data protection.

As discussed, Guo had hired Clark Hill in 2016 to help him apply for asylum in the United States, citing threats and persecution from the Chinese Communist Party. However, the firm’s computer system was hacked in September 2017, and personal information about Guo and his wife, including the contents of the dissident’s asylum petition, were posted online.

Clark Hill subsequently withdrew from representing Guo, citing ethical rules that prohibit attorneys from playing the dual role of witness and advocate. However, strong questions remain that Clark Hill may have caved to pressure from the CCP and betrayed their client’s trust.

Clark Hill failed in their duty to uphold their clients interests. They caved to pressure from the CCP, and one has to wonder just how deep this pressure penetrated.

The court found that Guo had successfully pleaded that the alleged mishandling of his information and subsequent cyber attack resulted in damages.

This ruling is significant because it highlights the importance of cybersecurity and data protection, particularly in cases involving sensitive and confidential information.

It also underscores the potential legal consequences for firms that fail to adequately protect their clients’ information and the duty of care they owe to their clients.

Moreover, the ruling has broader implications for the legal industry and its obligations in relation to cybersecurity and data protection. Law firms hold vast amounts of sensitive and confidential information about their clients, making them attractive targets for cybercriminals, and illicit state actors.

Biden to Sign New Gun Control Executive Order

(Headline USA) President Joe Biden is set to roll out a new gun control executive order on Tuesday in an effort to “crack down” on gun violence.

The president will travel to Monterey Bay, California, the site of a deadly mass shooting over the Lunar New Year, on Tuesday, where he will unveil the order and sign it, according to the White House.

The executive order will reportedly bolster national background checks, enforce additional gun safety and storage regulations, and encourage law enforcement agencies to rely on “red flag” laws to confiscate the weapons of people deemed mentally unfit.

“Combined with his previous executive actions and the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, [the order] indisputably makes President Biden unmatched by any of his predecessors when it comes to a record of taking action to reduce gun violence,” one official said. “Now President Biden would be the first to say that even after today, there will be more to do to further reduce gun violence and save lives. He will continue to lead that charge and call on Congress to do the same.”

The order also directs Attorney General Merrick Garland to develop a plan to prevent firearms dealers whose licenses have been revoked from continuing to sell guns and work with the Transportation Department to reduce the number of guns that are stolen or lost in transit.

Biden also plans to instruct his cabinet to develop a plan for how to support communities that have been impacted by gun violence, including mass shootings.

The president has become increasingly aggressive on gun control efforts, especially as he prepares for a 2024 reelection campaign. For example, he now regularly calls for a total ban on “assault-style” weapons.

“The idea we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick. Just sick,” Biden said on Thanksgiving Day. “I’m going to try to get rid of assault weapons.”

Crispi: Three Keys to Defeating the CCP Are Money, Honey Traps and Freedom Fighters

(Mike Crispi, Headline USA contributor) As tensions between the United States and China continue to simmer, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the Chinese Communist Party will stop at nothing to gain an advantage over its American counterparts.

From cyberattacks to espionage, the CCP has shown that it’s willing to use any means necessary to further its agenda.

For years the freedom-loving Chinese patriots of the New Federal State of China have sounded the alarm on this rising threat. Renowned Chinese freedom-fighter Miles Guo has led the charge against the CCP, and it is high time that the United States government implemented common sense strategies to fight back against communist China.

To combat this threat, U.S. legislators must focus on three key strategies: follow the money, follow the honey trap, and ally with the New Federal State of China.

MONEY

First and foremost, following the money is crucial in identifying individuals who may be financially compromised by the CCP.

These individuals may be, and often are, embedded within the U.S. government and justice system, making it easier for the CCP to gain access to sensitive information.

By tracking financial transactions and identifying potential conflicts of interest, legislators can root out these compromised individuals and take steps to prevent further damage.

Identifying individuals financially compromised by the CCP is a complex task that requires a deep understanding of the various financial instruments and channels that the CCP uses to exert its influence.

• One such channel is through Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs), which are known to have close ties to the CCP. These SOEs are involved in a variety of sectors, including finance, energy and telecommunications, and they often engage in joint ventures with U.S. companies.

By tracing the financial transactions of these SOEs and their U.S. counterparts, legislators can identify potential conflicts of interest and instances of financial impropriety.

• In the realm of academia, the CCP has worked diligently to gain a foothold with U.S. institutions. This has involved significant investment in American universities and think tanks, as well as the establishment of Confucius Institutes, which are Chinese government-funded language and cultural centers.

• In recent years, there have been a number of high-profile cases of Chinese nationals, including students and researchers, being arrested or charged with espionage-related offenses. American corporate enterprises are also being targeted.

In the case of Apple, several employees were charged with stealing trade secrets related to the company’s self-driving car project. The employees had been approached by Chinese agents, who promised them financial incentives in exchange for the stolen information.

This case highlights the lengths to which the Chinese government is willing to go to acquire American technology and intellectual property, even if it means using illegal or unethical means.

Similarly, Tesla has also been targeted by Chinese agents for espionage purposes. In 2019, a Chinese engineer working for the company was arrested and charged with stealing proprietary information related to Tesla’s autopilot technology. The engineer had been recruited by Chinese agents, who promised him a lucrative job and a hefty signing bonus in exchange for the stolen information.

The impact of this infiltration can be devastating, resulting in lost revenue, diminished competitiveness, and weakened national security.

• Another channel is the money transferred to U.S. law firms’ trust accounts, as revealed in the 1MBD scheme reported by the Wall Street Journal.

Due to the U.S. client confidentiality rules, these accounts are barely regulated, making it an ideal place to hide illegal transactions. By establishing operations in Communist China, the U.S. law firms are under undue influence from the CCP, which controls their ability to do business in China and Hong Kong.

Additionally, legislators can review the financial disclosures of individuals within the U.S. government and justice system to identify any unusual patterns or connections that may indicate financial compromise.

• Another avenue for following the money is through campaign finance. The CCP has been known to use its vast financial resources to support candidates and politicians who are friendly to its interests. By reviewing campaign finance records, lawmakers can identify individuals who may have received contributions from the CCP or its proxies.

It’s important to note that identifying financial compromise is only the first step. Once a compromised individual is identified, lawmakers must take swift action to prevent further damage. This may involve removing the individual from their position or subjecting them to increased scrutiny and oversight.

HONEY TRAPS

Secondly, following the honey trap is equally important.

The CCP has a history of using sexual blackmail and threats to compromise individuals, particularly those in positions of power. By identifying and protecting vulnerable individuals, lawmakers can prevent the CCP from gaining leverage over them and using them to further its own interests.

The use of sexual blackmail and threats is a tactic that the CCP has employed for decades. By targeting individuals who are vulnerable or have something to hide, the CCP can gain leverage over them and use them to further its interests.

Identifying individuals who may have been compromised through sexual blackmail or threats is a delicate and sensitive process that must be handled with care. A U.S. State Department report on China’s Coercive Activities Abroad makes the point that “The CCP’s United Front Work Department (UFWD) is responsible for coordinating domestic and foreign influence operations, through propaganda and manipulation of susceptible audiences and individuals.”

This includes the use of sexual favors.

“The CCP’s United Front permeates every aspect of its extensive engagements with the international community,” the report continues. “It targets the highest levels of Western democracies, creates a permanent class of China lobbyists whose primary job is to sell access to high level Chinese leaders to corporate America. The United Front has also penetrated deeply into state, local and municipal governments through a myriad of front organisations such as the CCP’s sister-cities programs, trade commissions, and friendship associations.”

ALLY WITH NFSC

Finally, legislators must ally with the New Federal State of China (NFSC), the CCP’s greatest enemy.

The NFSC is a pro-democracy movement comprising hundreds of millions of Chinese people living in China and abroad. They seek to overthrow the CCP and bring democracy, the rule of law and a one-person-one-vote system back to China.

By allying with the NFSC, U.S. lawmakers can gain an invaluable strategic advantage over the CCP’s insidious tactics and operations. The NFSC has deep knowledge of the inner workings of the CCP and its various operations, including its use of propaganda, cyberattacks and espionage.

By working closely with the NFSC, U.S. lawmakers can gain critical insights into the CCP’s activities and develop strategies to counter them.

In addition to the intelligence-gathering benefits of allying with the NFSC, there are also political and strategic advantages. By supporting a pro-democracy movement in China, the U.S. can demonstrate its commitment to human rights and democratic values. This, in turn, can help to counter the CCP’s propaganda and rhetoric and win the hearts and minds of the Chinese people.

The threat posed by the CCP is real and must be taken seriously by U.S. lawmakers. By following the money, the honey traps and allying with the New Federal State of China, legislators can gain an advantage over the CCP’s insidious tactics and operations.

With a comprehensive approach, the United States can work to protect its interests and prevent the CCP from gaining an undue advantage on the world stage.

Treasury to Give Reports on Hunter Biden’s Finances to House GOP

(Headline USA) The Treasury Department has agreed to give House Republicans access to suspicious activity reports related to Hunter Biden and the Biden family’s business dealings, according to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky.

Comer requested the reports from Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen in January, arguing that information about the Biden family and their associates’ business transactions, especially those that were flagged by U.S. banks, is vital to his investigation. This week, Yellen informed Comer that his committee would have “in camera access” to the requested documents.

“After two months of dragging their feet, the Treasury Department is finally providing us with access to the suspicious activity reports for the Biden family and their associates’ business transactions,” Comer said. “It should never have taken us threatening to hold a hearing and conduct a transcribed interview with an official under the penalty of perjury for Treasury to finally accommodate part of our request.”

Hunter Biden has been under federal investigation since 2018 for his tax affairs — an investigation that was launched, in part, because of suspicious activity reports regarding his foreign transactions with “China and other foreign nations.”

Comer pointed out that Congress normally has direct access to all suspicious activity reports. But the Biden administration “changed the rules out of the blue to restrict our ability to conduct oversight,” he said.

The Treasury Department denied that it was trying to block Comer’s investigation.

“All of these processes—which are designed to ensure proper protection of potential or ongoing investigations and other law enforcement interests—are already well underway for your request, but they take time,” Treasury Department official Jonathan Davidson wrote in a letter to Comer. 

“The Department is working to complete these processes as soon as possible and consistent with the timeframes for processing similar requests in the past, including requests received from committee chairs in the prior Congress that took months to complete,” he added.

Wasteful U.S. Gov’t Not Only Funded Wuhan Lab, but Overpaid It

(Ezekiel Loseke, Headline USA) An independent investigator discovered that the federal government may have made duplicate payments for grants it gave to the lab in Wuhan, China, through the National Institute of Health and the US Agency for International Development.

Diane Cutler is the independent investigator, according to CBS News. She has more than 20 years of experience investigating healthcare fraud and white-collar crime. She was hired by Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan.

Cutler found evidence that the federal government made duplicate payments, via grants, immediately before the COVID “pandemic.”

“What I’ve found so far is evidence that points to double billing, potential theft of government funds,” she said. “It is concerning, especially since it involves dangerous pathogens and risky research.”

Cutler reported that she read more than 50,000 documents in her investigation. She said that the Feds may have duplicated payments for medical supplies, equipment, travel and salaries.

Marshall took this evidence to USAID and the internal investigative office of USAID. These organizations have launched investigations into the event.

However, a USAID spokesman refused to comment on the investigation, and a USAID inspector general spokesperson declined to comment “on the existence of a specific open investigation.”

The press office for NIH did not respond to CBS News’ questions.

CBS News claimed that anonymous sources alleged that “tens of millions of dollars” could have been paid and that anonymous sources “familiar with the grant records” reviewed their reporting and did not dispute it.

CBS News’ anonymous sources also said the internal investigation could take six months to conclude.

Marshall is now calling for a thorough investigation, according to Breitbart News.

“I think there’s 1.1 million reasons that American taxpayers should care,” he said. “You’ll have a plane crash and we want to find out why the plane crashes; we go to any lengths to do that. And the hope is we don’t have another plane crash for the same reason.”

Marshall told the New York Post that, “Americans deserve the truth, especially if our government had a hand in funding the creation of the coronavirus.”

“I am demanding transparency and accountability for the misuse of taxpayer funds,” he said. “This probe is a step in the right direction. We must follow the money.”

California Contains Half of All ‘Unsheltered’ Homeless People in U.S.

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Out of America’s half a million–and growing–homeless population, over 50% of the “unsheltered” live in the leftist utopia that is California.

According to a recent report, America’s homeless population sits at 582,462 and is growing. Approximately two thirds of those live in shelters, and the rest are “unsheltered,” the Post Millennial reported.

Out of those “unsheltered,” half live in leftist Gov. Gavin Newsom’s California.

“California accounted for half of all unsheltered people in the country (115,491 people). This is more than nine times the number of unsheltered people in the state with the next highest number, Washington,” the report says.

“California also had the highest rate of homelessness, with 44 people experiencing homelessness out of every 10,000 people in the state.”

Out of the entire homeless population, nearly one third lives in the Golden State.

“More than half of all people experiencing homelessness in the country were in four states:
California (30% or 171,521 people); New York (13% or 74,178 people); Florida (5% or 25,959 people); and Washington (4% or 25,211).”

The homeless population has increased since COVID lockdowns began and President Joe Biden took office.

The homeless problem has afflicted major urban centers in particular, both in California and other states.

According to the report, over half of the nation’s homeless population lives in the 50 larges cities and their surrounding areas. Between Los Angeles and New York alone lives over one fifth of the unsheltered population.

Los Angeles County currently has over 65,000 homeless, while New York City came in second with nearly 62,000.

Six of the top 10 cities in terms of homeless population are in California.

Of course, the data simply confirms what has long been apparent: California and its leftist policies lead to political disaster.

Crime, drugs, anti-racism and illegal immigration all run rampant in Newsom’s state, along with homelessness.

As a result, thousands have tried to flee the floundering state.

Biden Claims He Backed Gay Marriage in High School, but Denounced in 2006

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) President Joe Biden’s memory failed him once again in a recent interview, wherein he claimed that he has supported same-sex marriage since his time as a high school boy, despite denouncing gay marriage a mere 17 years ago.

“I can remember exactly when my epiphany [on supporting gay marriage] was … I was a senior in high school,” Biden said, trying to recall his tiresome timeline.

“And my dad was dropping me off and I remember I was about to get out of the car and I looked to my right and two well-dressed men in suits kissed each other… And I’ll never forget–I turned and looked at my dad, and he said ‘No, it’s simple: they love each other.'”

Unfortunately for Biden, he is on the record in 2006 denying the possibility of gay marriage rights in America.

“Marriage is between a man and a woman and states must respect that,” he said at the time regarding the Defense of Marriage Act. “Nobody’s violated that law, there’s been no challenge to that law. Marriage is between a man and a woman. What’s the game going on here? And now we’re going to also vote, right after that, about desecration of the flag.”

But by 2012–long after his high school days–Biden was singing a different tune.

“Love is love,” he said, declaring his support for gay marriage.

“Who do you love? Who do you love? And will you be loyal to the person you love? And that’s what people are finding out is what all marriages, at their root, are about.”

By 2016, the former bigot was leading “ceremonies” to “marry” gays to each other at his home.

He “married” Brian Mosteller and Joe Mahshie, who were staffers in the Obama-Biden White House.

Biden, who claims to be Catholic, wrote of the event: “Proud to marry Brian and Joe at my house. Couldn’t be happier, two longtime White House staffers, two great guys.”

Flynn Warns that Orchestrated Bank Run Is Part of Great Reset

(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) Two of the most censored and embattled conservatives in America teamed up over the weekend to blow the lid off a massive globalist conspiracy that ties together China, Ukraine and Silicon Valley—and may be coming soon for your most fundamental freedoms, including health and financial autonomy.

Former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn—the man considered by former President Barack Obama to be one of the biggest threats to the global world-order—warned in an interview with conservative radio icon Alex Jones that the recent collapse of several woke banking institutions may herald the next phase in the so-called Great Reset, allowing the federal government to assert unprecedented control over its citizens.

“If the American people suddenly go on a bank run, then this government is gonna turn around and say, ‘See everybody’s afraid; we have to transition,'” Flynn said in the interview for Jones’s InfoWars broadcast.

“It’s just like COVID, folks,” Flynn continued. “I mean, some of the patents for COVID [vaccines] were developed in 2015.”

Flynn noted that Executive Order 14067, authorizing the transition to a federal digital currency, has already taken effect as of last December. The only step that remains is the gradual elimination of hard currency in favor of that which the government, itself, not only can create from thin air but also manages exclusively.

“This is a way to control whether or not you can spend the money that you actually earn,” Flynn said, adding that such a system already had been beta-tested in several other countries—most notably, China.

“The big push behind all this … is coming from the Chinese Communist Party. There’s no doubt about that,” he continued. “I know what their 100-year plan is, which essentially started in 1949—and they’re executing it, and they’re actually speeding it up.”

In addition to the financial takeover, Flynn said the Biden admininstration’s recent efforts to relinquish America’s authority over its own pandemic response to the World Health Organization, as part of an illegitimate but legally binding treaty, signified a parallel power-grab that might limit U.S. citizens’ mobility by implementing worldwide vaccine passports.

Flynn, a retired three-star general in the U.S. Army, suggested that President Joe Biden and his handlers might somehow use the ongoing territorial dispute between Ukraine and Russia as the pretext for both the health and financial takeovers.

“War is a great excuse when everything else around you is failing,” he said.

OBAMA’S WORST NIGHTMARE

Donald Trump and Barack Obama
President-elect Donald Trump and then-President Barack Obama meet in the Oval Office in November 2016

Flynn, of all people, should know what lies ahead since he had a front-row seat while much of it was being crafted—that is, before he was fired by Obama as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency due to his supposed insubordination.

Thus, when the lame-duck Obama administration resolved that their final duty on behalf of the globalist hegemony to which they pledged allegiance was to undermine incoming President Donald Trump, they first had to go through an ex-employee of their own.

Some argue that Flynn threatened to spoil the outgoing president’s Iran nuclear deal—from which Trump ultimately withdrew anyway.

Others say that Flynn posed an existential threat to the very fabric of the deep state should he gain access to all its secrets.

So desperate was Obama to block him that the preener-in-chief even put his ego aside and begged Trump not to hire Flynn in one of the pair’s first—if not only—Oval Office meetings.

When that failed, Obama and his top intelligence officials gathered in a secret meeting on Jan. 7, 2017, to scheme over how they might weaponize information they had obtained illegally while spying on Flynn in order to accuse him of an obsolete, centuries-old crime that barred civilians—even those about to assume power—from conducting diplomacy on behalf of the U.S.

It was reportedly then-Vice President Joe Biden who first suggested deploying the Logan Act against Flynn, eventually resulting in the latter’s forced resignation and millions of dollars in legal fees after he became ensnared in the FBI’s Russia-collusion hoax.

Six years later, though, with his lawsuits dismissed and a presidential pardon to his name, Flynn is free to speak his mind—and may be more dangerous than ever.

CHINA ON THE MARCH

During his InfoWars interview, Flynn warned that the current conflict in Ukraine may be linked to China’s Belt and Road Initiative, a strategic plan to develop trade routes and alliances throughout Asia, Africa and Europe, with a central goal being to gradually diminish America’s global influence.

“They’re able to do things as a communist dictatorship … to move their economy, to move their people, to take things and do them over a longer period of time,” Flynn said.

During the Obama administration, for instance, China even built its own Suez Canal, unbeknownst to many, in order to gain exclusive access from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean.

It also has solidified its ties to former U.S. partners such as Saudi Arabia, whom the Biden administration foolishly alienated.

With its BRICS alliance briniging into the fold Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa, China’s power could soon extend over 75% of the world’s population, Flynn warned.

Meanwhile, it has surreptitiously taken control of the American education system, media, Hollywood and other powerful cultural institutions that give it the ability to manipulate public sentiment in the U.S.

“There’s been this infiltration into our body, like a cancer,” Flynn said, describing it as “a type of socialism being brought into American society.”

Among those attempting to subvert America’s national identity are billionaire oligarchs like George Soros, World Economic Forum head Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates.

“They want more power, they want more wealth, and they want your wealth,” Flynn said.

But while they may do the heavy lifting to destablize democracies, it is CCP chairman Xi Jinping who reaps the biggest reward from the resulting chaos.

“There is a relationship—a clear relationship—between the Chinese party leadership … and this globalist group of people,” Flynn said. “… These people are psychopaths, all of them.”

A TIME TO STAND

Flynn said there were limited political solutions to fight back against the socialist encroachment since elected officials were easily overwhelmed by the sheer scope of the problem.

But with no other options left, it was up to America’s freedom-loving holdouts to take matters into their own hands, staving off the attack from the ground up.

“Don’t believe for a second that anything is going to be handed to you,” Flynn told Jones’s listeners. “… [I]t’s going to take sacrifice for us to be able to elevate ourselves.”

While the globalist–socialist axis was likely to “triple down” on its efforts in the face of popular resistance, Flynn offered some hope of redemption.

“No country that lost its character ever kept its liberty,” he said. “We have not lost our character as a nation yet, [… but] they are trying their damndest to destroy the fabric of our society.”

Flynn suggested a coordinated response—not unlike the Save America Rally on Jan. 6, 2021, which saw thousands of concerned citizens make their way into the U.S. Capitol, forcing a brief delay in Congress’s efforts to certify the Electoral College votes from the disputed 2020 election—but instead taking place at every state capitol throughout the U.S.

“There’s a time to pray and there’s a time to stand,” Flynn said.

“… Now’s the time to stand,” he continued. “When they start to impose things, they’re going to feel a tension coming from We the People, and they need to feel that tension.”
