Michael Flynn endorsed my work in early 2025. His more recent public identity is as someone who seeks Quincy Institute style restraint. He asked whether every member of Congress has an “an AIPAC handler” and called out foreign influence in the lobbying system.
In other words, the charge assigns me on both poles of a single issue at once.
At first I labeled this development as “incoherent.” But that was the wrong word. Conspiracy framing eats those kinds of contradictions for a living - as they do, and continue to do. The deeper accusation is that I work all sides, and the contradiction proves how deep it runs. You see this with Tyler Robinson.
Candace Owens' has explained Charlie Kirk's death multiple separate ways: a rooftop rifle, a second gunman, a bomb in his microphone. New pieces of evidence do not rearrange the theory; contradictions just drive the conspiracy framing deeper and harder.
The accurate word to describe this trap is unfalsifiable.
That is the pattern happening here.
Show me that I criticize the lobby, and I am hiding my Zionism.
Show me that I cite peer research from a pro-Israeli outlet, and I am hiding my Flynn alliance.
Hold both together, and I am a deep rogue operative (Mossad, probably) and this has "exposed" me somehow.
The only way I can answer this charge is a performance. Disavow Flynn altogether. Disavow pro-Jewish lobbyists altogether. Disavow. Disavow. Disavow. And each disavowal serves as guardrails to box oneself in more, until the only move that earns approval is obedience.
Does this start sounding a lot like … oh, the DEI guilt rituals to disavow whiteness and maleness?
Let me be exact on one point, because it’s something critics will deliberately obscure. Refusing to denounce Flynn on command is not an endorsement of Flynn. I am not Catholic and I do not identify with Catholic nationalism at all. But I do not need to hold any opinion of the man to refuse the guilt woke ritual. It is the DEI–like ceremony I am refusing.
Now, here is the thing I want the most to say, and my own mistake is what taught it to me. The trap needs no trapper. I have been telling people for a year to stop hunting the villain and look for shared epistemology. I forgot my own instructions for about a day, reached for the narrative, and then walked back. Candace Owens has never practiced this.
Which brings me back to @ConceptualJames .
James has been spending two years describing what he calls the Woke Right. In his words it "isn't limited to one race, one sex, one nationality, or one religion," and "Woke isn't actually about identity, it's about radical politics." It is "a drift we can correct." It is "when passion turns to dogma, when disagreement becomes treason." It is the habit of people who "shame, tribalize, and cancel their own."
Where I part from him is the extent to which the label is allowed to stick. I do not like seeing it applied to people. I think unnecessary bridges were burned that way. I see it as a set of behaviors that can be corrected with enough communication and understanding, and not giving up on reconcilation.
