(The following is the text of Gen Flynn's Tweet)
For the preservation of our republic and the perpetuation of our political institutions, we need to understand how far back the assault on American ideals and principles occurred. This assault goes all the way to our founding days.
To not fall to the evils of our time, we must stand on the shoulders of our founders.
Our forefathers placed great faith in us and gave us great responsibilities for all of posterity.
If we don’t consider this, we’re no better than other empires throughout history that succumbed to sinister forces (external & internal).
It was Abraham Lincoln, at the ripe age of 28 stated;
How should we expect the approach of danger to our republic? By what means shall we fortify against it?
Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never!
All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher.
As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide (Lincoln Lyceum speech, 1838).
If America is to overcome this desire to kill ourselves, and usurp the lands upon which we have been granted only by the grace of God Himself, our main task then must consider the difficult road ahead. The posterity of our children, our families, our institutions, our very country, is at risk.
Therefore, we must return to our faith, we must show gratitude to our fathers and those who offered up their lives for ours, and finally we must demonstrate love for all of humanity with far greater focus here at home. Then and only then, can we faithfully and dutifully succeed at carrying out the most important task at hand, to save our republic from causing its own demise.
As Matthew describes, if we [America] are to be that light on a hill, a beacon of good on a mountain top for all to see, the strength of our faith, and our conviction and commitment to each other, cannot be hidden. We must then stand for all to see and we must uphold that light of liberty for now and all future generations.
God help us in the days, weeks and months ahead.
(The following are my thoughts and reflections on this message from Flynn)
Discussion*
One: Time Frame
Note Flynn's emphasis of the specific timeline: 'days, weeks, and months' ahead. Not 'years'.
Someone else less in tune with things and with a more politically generic view might ask for God's help in the months and years ahead, but Gen Flynn doesn't. Why?
To me it seems clear that he understands that what takes place between now and the election or January next year is what is crucial. If the plan was to wake up America, and rearrange the situation so that Trump could return with America fully awake and ready to actually drain the swamp (note: Americans - the People - have to do this, not a government and not a president UNLESS he has the full mandate of the People), then this period of time remaining between now and D-Day aka the Election Day and/or The Inauguration Day, then this is the most challenging time when the political satanists will do everything they can to upset the Plan.
This is the real period that American needs to overcome and survive.
Two: The Real Cause of the Problem is Internal
Flynn emphasizes:
a return to our faith. Does he mean doctrinal faith here? In my opinion, no. The issue is not doctrinal. The downfall of America, should it happen, would be because America has separated itself from God and the founding spirit that God used to raise America: passionate faith in God that drove the pilgrims to strive to find a land where they could practice their faith free from the religious persecution and establishments that ruled Europe. Those pilgrims put their very lives in the line to found the colony in America, driven by passion and love for God.
Everything that Marxism does is to attack the foundational relationship between man and God. It promotes satanic values: destruction of morality, the family and faith. Globalism does the same.
For America to survive and achieve true greatness, the people of America need to transcend doctrinal perspectives and rebuild a living relationship with God as a people. Religious freedom is critical to that, and people must be free to worship as they are led by their consciences, but the OBJECTIVE of that practice of faith is a living relationship with God.
Let's fast forward. After an American revival led by Trump, with a cleansing of the Establishment in ALL sectors affected by government, what will come next? American Restoration.
Perhaps after all the darkness and evil and slime of the Cabal and the Deep State is fully exposed, then will America be ready to truly reflect, repent and turn back to its original founding ethos: Love of God?
show gratitude to our fathers and those who offered up their lives for ours
Real appreciation for what has been given is the foundation of love of God (faith) and love of country (patriotism). Good people count their blessings and emphasize what they have received, evil people complain and demand more, claiming victimhood status.
we must demonstrate love for all of humanity with far greater focus here at home
In my view, this is an amazingly profound statement, and I would encourage frens to reflect deeply on it. As human beings emerging out of a fallen history and fallen lineages, we are faced with a massive conundrum. At some point in our past, our ancestors adopted a view and a perspective that was in conflict with God's view. (From a Christian perspective, this is why Christ has to come and teach us: to help us to understand God's view on things.)
The conundrum is this: Does God love my family any more than another family? Does God love me more than he loves any other person? God's viewpoint is that all his children are precious. Every family is loved, all peoples are loved, and all the world is loved by God equally.
The issue is whether I or someone else, my family or another family, or my country or another country, receives God's love and truth and resonates with it. God loves all, but our ability to receive and unite with that love, this depends on us.
So, from God's viewpoint, while he loves and treasures America, ultimately, God loves the whole world MORE than he loves America. John 3:16 For God so loved the world....
So, what should my attitude be in terms of loving humanity? Should I love my country MORE than I love humanity? The answer is no. Because that is not God's viewpoint and it isn't the nature of God's love. So then, what should I do?
The answer is this: God loves ALL families equally, but only I can love MY family as God's representative. I cannot love all families. God gave me my family for ME to love, with his heart. In doing so, I honor God's love and also naturally my love for ALL families will grow.
To be a True Patriot, one must truly love humanity BUT the representative of humanity that God gave to ME is MY country. Therefore, I should love my country as the representative of ALL humanity. Then my love will be deep and true and tied to God more profoundly.
And Flynn is emphasizing this here: "demonstrate love for all of humanity but with a greater focus here at home"
Anyone who has a clear mind can see that Donald Trump loves people, and NOT just Americans. But the emphasis has to be at HOME. First. Because neglect of HOME has been the objective of the Cabal and Deep State. if America is to love and lead the world, she must be healthy herself, and restore herself first. THEN, as a beacon on a hill, she can ASSIST other nations, and cooperate with other nations, towards prosperity for all.
Three: Quoting Lincoln is Timely: America is truly at the Crossroads
I think that by quoting Lincoln here, Flynn is not only raising the significant concept that collapse and failure of American can really only come from within, by American's abandoning America's founding ethos, but he is also highlighting just how critical the current time is.
I think it is reasonable to consider that The United States is now experiencing the Third and Final crisis threatening it's existence: the first crisis was the War of Revolution, and the question was whether the US would even come to exist or be stillborn. The second crisis was the Civil War, which threatened the failure of American. The third crisis is the 'second American Revolution'. It is the War against the Deep State (and Cabal). Either America will rise up and rise to new heights, or it will collapse, and with it, humanity will likewise face death and darkness.
Dear Anons, make no mistake. Your efforts may seem small and insignificant. You may very well be facing personal and family-level crisis in your own life. But the Great Awakening is no less a time of challenge than the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. And each of us is like a minute man, or like the wives who held their home and family together while the men shed blood to decide the fate of the country.
"Digital soldiers".... Hmmmm....
Someday, our grandchildren and great grandchildren and future generations will look back and ask mummy and daddy: what did grandpa do, what did gandma do when President Trump fought the Deep State?
We are writing history, with the efforts we make each and every day, and yes, the enemy will throw challenges in our way that cause us heartache and sufferings. But:
..... we must then stand for all to see and we must uphold that light of liberty for now and all future generations
Personally, I am deeply impressed with this message from Flynn. I feel like it is truly presidential. And, I'm led to think that following a Trump Presidency, America may actually be perfectly positioned to rise to it's true potential via a restoration and revival of the spirit of faith, love and freedom that inspired the original colonists and the original founding fathers.
If so, one might posit that the Trump Presidency is the one that oversees an (External) Great Awakening, but America might just be ready for a following presidency that oversees a true Internal Great Awakening.
All I can say is, may God bless America and the World.
One step at a time.
Me, too! Those healthy discussions belong in the daily chat.
Your post was very insightful and expanded on Gen. Flynn's comments perfectly. I appreciate your posts and comments Fractal...
