Michael Thomas Flynn (born December 1958) is a former U.S. Army General who served as the former head of the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, and who was ousted by the Obama administration for his criticism of President Obama's lackadaisical response to the rise, cross-border aggression, and the atrocious human rights violations of the Islamic State.[1] Flynn advised candidate Donald Trump throughout the 2016 U.S. Presidential election on foreign policy matters. Flynn resigned from the position of National Security Advisor early in the Trump administration in a fake news scandal put out by the Washington Post using classified information gathered and leaked illegally by the Obama administration targeting domestic political opponents,[2][3] intended to influence United States political processes, public opinion, policies, or media.[4]

Opposed creation of the Islamic State

On August 12, 2012 the DIA circulated a document widely among government agencies, including CENTCOM, the CIA, FBI, Department of Homeland Security, NGA (National Geospacial Agency), State Department, and many others. The document stated the West (NATO powers), members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates), and Turkey wanted an Islamic State ("Salafist principality in Eastern Syria") to oppose the regime of Bashar al-Assad.

THE WEST, GULF COUNTRIES, AND TURKEY [WHICH] SUPPORT THE [SYRIAN] OPPOSITION… THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING A DECLARED OR UNDECLARED SALAFIST PRINCIPALITY IN EASTERN SYRIA (HASAKA AND DER ZOR), AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE SUPPORTING POWERS TO THE OPPOSITION WANT, IN ORDER TO ISOLATE THE SYRIAN REGIME…

Flynn had been Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency for about three weeks. Flynn opposed the creation of the Islamic State. After it was declared in June of 2014, Flynn was fired.

Flynn moved on to be the chief adviser on national security for the Trump campaign. In December 2016, Intelligence Community (IC) unofficial social media spokesmen John Schindler, who had been taunting President-elect Trump on Twitter for months, sent a thread full of ominous threats including this dire warning:[5]

The IC dislikes you intensely and they hate Flynn. The spooks have much more on you than they had on Hillary. This is a #YUGE mistake. /7 5:53 AM - 10 Dec 2016

Kislyak

Flynn's call to Ambassador Sergei Kislyak, the actual audio gathered and any transcript is called “Raw FISA-acquired information,” and its distribution would be highly restricted. At the NSA, not more than 40 or so analysts or senior managers would be read into the classification sub-sub compartment that contains it,[6] called RAGTIME-A,B,C D or P, where each letter stands for one of five different categories of foreign intelligence.

Five days after Flynn's call to Kislyak Attn. Gen. Loretta Lynch signed off on new rules permitting the NSA to disseminate “raw signals intelligence information.”[7] The New York Times reported,

"In its final days, the Obama administration has expanded the power of the National Security Agency to share globally intercepted personal communications with the government’s 16 other intelligence agencies before applying privacy protections (minimumizations)."[8]

The substance of Flynn's call was incorporated three days later into a CIA memo authorized by John Brennan intended to impugn and de-legitimize President-elect Donald Trump which was widely circulated under the new NSA rules.[9] The Brennan memo is loaded with Russophobic innuendo.[10]
