Michael Flynn Goes Full Tinfoil Hat With Bonkers New COVID-19 Theory

Donald Trump’s former national security adviser and pardoned felon, Michael Flynn, has offered up his latest batch of conspiracy nonsense, this time suggesting that the COVID-19 pandemic was orchestrated by unnamed “global elites” who could be preparing to unleash a new virus on humanity.

“Their little plan with COVID didn’t work because too many people, you know, the world of what I call the digital warriors, or the citizen journalists that are out there. They are fighting for the truth, and so the truth has been exposed about all the COVID tyranny that we are facing,” Flynn told prominent conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on “The Alex Jones Show.”

“So I think what we’re going to see is potentially another type of virus that’s imposed on the public.”

“I hope that’s not the case, but I’ve seen some indications of that in some of the statements by some of these global elite type of people,” Flynn added.

When the coronavirus wreaks more havoc, the claim will be that a some new diabolical evil is being spread by the forces of love, tolerance, compassion, ethics and wisdom*.

*Wisdom is the ability to understand cause and effect; the real rather than the ridiculous.

... It exists when they want to claim it is a Chinese bio-weapon.

The looney toons RepubliQons believe Biden is a wholly owned pawn of Xi who controls him through Obama and they are all plotting to sell out the US and make it a subsidiary of China.

"...believe Biden is a wholly owned pawn of Xi who controls him through Obama and they are all plotting to sell out the US and make it a subsidiary of China."

Odd, those who deny that virus causes sickness and vaccines are effective, but accept ridiculously-convoluted circular-reasoning to explain world-wide events.

Ever popular with populist politicians.

In the 50s people blamed jews, Rothschilds, and fluoridation.

In 70s it was the "illuminati", then "arabs".

In 80s it was satanists and the moral panic over daycares.

in 00s it was Soros.

In 10s it became the pedo cannibals (pizzagate).

The bigger the threat the better.
The more outrageous the threat the better.

The founding members of the JBS included Harry Lynde Bradley, co-founder of the Allen Bradley Company and the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation,[35][36] Fred C. Koch, founder of Koch Industries[37][38][39][40] and Robert Waring Stoddard, President of Wyman-Gordon, a major industrial enterprise.[41] Another was Revilo P. Oliver, a University of Illinois professor who was later expelled from the Society and helped found the National Alliance. Koch became one of the organization's primary financial supporters. According to investigative journalist Jane Mayer, Koch's sons, David and Charles Koch, were also members of the JBS. However, both left it before the 1970s.[42]

Or maybe one a month and just add the crazy lie of the moment to that thread. Otherwise they just soak up time and attention which is their purpose in the first place

Actually, theories, since there is contradictory opinion about who the top conspiracists are.

9. COVID started during the Trump administration, so he failed to defend us?
Thu Nov 25, 2021, 03:33 PM
Nov 2021

There haven't been any pandemics under Democratic administrations. So why would we want Trump and his Republicans "defending us" from future pandemics. They're 0-for-1 doing that.

It always strikes me as odd that Republicans call out COVID as a bioweapon from someone without pointing out that Republicans are the ones who failed to defend the country if so.

"Global elites" is still code for "Jews", even in the 21st century; don't be fooled! Some try to downplay the anti-Semitic component and forget that even if they include "other elites", they are still controlled by the Jews in their twisted narratives.

As a side note; Jew is capitalized!

It's standard fare for the types that use the phrase "those people."
They'll find one secret villain or another.
I'm not Jewish & I thought the same thing you posted.
My first thought was "He means Jews".
