The Michael Flynn something-burger

 


For a moment, I assumed I had discovered something huge, something so sinister that it could potentially overshadow...I don´t know...the J6 Committee investigation or whatever.

Alas, it seems it´s a nothing-burger.

In the clip above, prominent Trump supporter Michael Flynn is leading the masses in Christian prayer...or is he? The prayer he recites seems to come from Elizabeth Clare Prophet, often accused of being a cult leader! Is General Flynn secretely a supporter of the Church Universal and Triumphant a.k.a. The Montana Doomsday Cult? 

It seems the answer is no. Damn!

The explanation seems to be that Prophet´s organization handed out printed versions of some of her channeled messages rather promiscuously, and Flynn presumably picked it up by mistake.

Somebody who calls himself Back to Facts writes in the commentary section: 

>>>The funny part about all of this is that he was reading from a card that Elizabeth’s organization put out that was a transcript of that channeling event. It was laminated and people used to hand them out like the Hare Krishnas handed out literature at airports. In fact, some people still hand out those cards to strangers.

>>>It’s amazing how quickly people will jump to conclusions and any like he had some sinister motive. He probably has never even seen that video you’re playing. Because he was reading off the back of a freaking picture of St Michael the Archangel that resonated with him when he received it spontaneously from a stranger.

>>>I’m sorry, is it a crime to feel moved by literature that someone gave you? I mean the Communists still do it! 

ADDENDUM. I´ve been doing some thinking. Maybe Flynn´s mistake wasn´t entirely innocent. After all, Prophet´s right-wing political positions were strikingly similar to those of Flynn (as far as I understand them). Also, Flynn may be a Catholic, and Prophet´s group sounded quasi-Catholic. Maybe the old general met these people somewhere?
