General Mike Flynn’s recent reflections on what he describes as a “color revolution” under the Biden administration provide a detailed analysis of the challenges facing America’s intelligence agencies. In his latest Substack post, Flynn examines how internal purges, driven by Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives and federal vaccine mandates, have collided within U.S. intelligence, causing significant but not irreversible damage.
Flynn ties the aftermath of January 6th to the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and the sweeping federal vaccine mandates. He argues that these events converged to form the backbone of a crisis—a quintessential requirement for any revolution. “Revolutions require crisis,” he notes. The implications are profound. The disastrous exit from Afghanistan not only marked a foreign policy failure but also effectively cleared the arena for domestic upheaval, allowing the administration to reshape the internal structures of governance without significant external distraction.
After the fall of Afghanistan, the Biden administration promptly announced sweeping vaccine mandates across the federal workforce. Flynn contends these mandates transcended public health concerns, turning into vehicles for coercive obedience. He claims this was particularly aimed at individuals whom revolutionary ideologues perceived as obstacles—primarily those who are religious, constitutionally minded, and conservative.
The narrative he presents reveals a troubling trend within federal agencies. Flynn reports that processes for religious accommodation were purposefully adversarial, making compliance nearly impossible. “Internal systems were engineered to route almost every request toward denial,” he asserts, creating a labyrinth designed to entrap non-compliant personnel. Such tactics not only strained the moral fabric of government institutions but also sowed confusion among employees who sought to defend their rights. Compliance rates, according to Flynn, were manipulated, with unvaccinated individuals being labeled as security threats, a label reminiscent of terms reserved for spies or saboteurs. This shift in language underscores the severity of the climate facing those who resisted pressure to conform.
Despite this hostile environment, Flynn underscores a silver lining: many within the federal workforce chose resistance. While the damage brought on by these efforts was substantial, he asserts that the revolution itself has not solidified. “The purge was not fully completed,” he writes, pointing to the resilience exhibited by ordinary Americans and those who dared to push back against these mandates. Courts played a pivotal role as well, blocking some of the extremes pushed by the administration, suggesting a reassertion of constitutional norms against an overreaching ideologue. Reality, Flynn contends, has once again pushed against radical ideology.
In summary, Flynn’s analysis stands as both a cautionary tale and a rallying cry. He emphasizes the necessity for structural reforms to safeguard the Republic moving forward. Today’s challenges reveal that while attempts to reshape the federal machinery have inflicted serious wounds, they have also sparked a vital resistance. The future remains fraught with uncertainty, but according to Flynn, the pathway toward recovery hinges on the ability of Americans to reclaim their rights and fortify the principles upon which the nation is built.
