evade Federal action by another infamous figure from conspiracies past. Major General John Singlaub of Iran-Contra monkey business is noted as follows : "In January 2020 Singlaub used the "America's Future" of Phyllis Schlafly to plead with Attorney General William Barr to "free Mike Flynn, drop the charges". That is sourced from the Wiki page on Singlaub. Singlaub like Flynn sort of went on his own definition of what foreign policy and military conduct should be. Sort of like a Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper in a sense.

Suffice it to say that Westmoreland thought highly of Singlaub as did Reagan. Says a great deal right there. There are plenty of dead Nicaraguan women and children who would find nothing to praise. For any of us who may have forgotten how awful the Reagan years and the Contras were I am including the Wiki page for the Contras also. Note how some of the tactics used are also seen in the Middle East on 10/7 and in response since. Also note the "denial" and finger wagging disapproval of the US government regarding human rights violations. Sort of the US SOP around the world for many decades now. Lastly note the references to the "journalists" in the media who were "on board" and could be counted on to spout the government line of lies.

Memories of things we lived through that we wish we could forget.
