[Editor’s note: Below is General Mike Flynn’s Foreword in Jamie Glazov’s new book: Barack Obama’s True Legacy: How He Transformed America.]
Several weeks after the highly questionable 2020 presidential election appeared to put his vice president, Joe Biden, on the path to the White House, Barack Obama told late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert that he would like to have a third term by proxy: “I used to say if I can make an arrangement where I had a stand-in or front-man or front-woman and they had an earpiece in and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff and I could sort of deliver the lines while someone was doing all the talking and ceremony, I’d be fine with that because I found the work fascinating.” [1]
Early on in Joe Biden’s calamitous presidency, it became clear that Biden was indeed someone’s proxy, and that someone was likely Barack Hussein Obama. Even if Barack Obama is not actually directing Biden’s actions from his basement, the Biden administration established itself immediately as the instrument for the resumption of the Obama agenda. What befell America during the Biden presidency was what Barack Obama envisioned for our nation and what he spent eight years setting into motion. Donald Trump did a great deal to reverse the disastrous direction in which the country was heading, but Biden’s team worked energetically to undo all that Trump accomplished.
And so, by May 2021, the United States of America faced a number of crises that appeared suddenly, were largely self-inflicted, and which threaten its survival as a free nation more severely than at any time since the bombing of Pearl Harbor. All of these crises were entirely foreseeable, and completely preventable. And, all of them are the direct result of the socialist, internationalist, and statist policies of Barack Obama.
After having attained the White House by means of an election that was full of irregularities, which were never fully investigated and buried beneath the media’s insistence that only paranoid conspiracy theorists and diehard partisans thought that the election was anything but free and fair, the Biden administration set out to pursue a number of policies that could lead to nothing less than the end of the United States as a republic of laws governed under the Constitution.
Ignoring Congress, despite the fact that both the House and Senate had Democrat majorities, Biden immediately signed over fifty Executive Orders to reverse numerous Trump policies, relax border and immigration controls, subject the nation once again to onerous economic burdens designed to fight the phantasm of “climate change,” exacerbate the hysteria and restrictions of freedom presented as measures to fight the coronavirus, and promote a far-left social agenda. Biden also restarted Obama’s objective of “fundamentally transforming the United States of America” with a culture war waged from inside the White House against Americans. Obama had made Americans poor. Biden would leave them even poorer.
Daniel Greenfield states in this book that “Obama powered a historic economic shift that took power away from workers and gave it to Silicon Valley, that took American jobs and shipped them to China, and that took jobs from black teenagers and gave them to illegal aliens.
He oversaw a historic power slide away from America to China, Russia, and the Islamic terrorists of the world laboring to build their caliphates.” During the opening months of the Biden administration, China rapidly became a massive threat to America’s economic wellbeing and standing in the world. Biden’s team emboldened the Communist Chinese to step up their activities toward economic, military, and technological domination of the entire world. This emboldening of China took place as Biden’s team ended the Keystone Pipeline project that had enabled the nation to attain energy independence during the Trump administration. Gas prices soared, and Americans once again experienced gas shortages of a severity that had not been seen since the 1970s. This was the logical outcome of Obama’s energy policies, which mandated the voluntary weakening of the United States and its increased dependence on foreign powers.
Obama had opened up the borders to demographically transform the country; Biden would go even further beyond that to build on his former boss’s legacy. Biden’s administration also worked to weaken national security by opening the southern border. As Matthew Vadum says in these pages, “An insecure border and growing disrespect for the nation’s immigration laws is the ugly legacy that President Barack Obama left behind.” Biden’s team has determinedly taken Obama’s open-borders policies as a blueprint, in a matter of months transforming a relatively quiet southern border into a hellhole of drug and human trafficking, with a massive humanitarian crisis caused by a lack of facilities to accommodate the influx Biden’s team had invited.
As could have been predicted, jihadis also took advantage. The rapid fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban in August 2021 was the foremost example, but Biden’s presidency also increased the jihad terror threat within the United States. In April 2021, US Border Patrol agents announced that they had arrested two Yemenis who were on a terror watch list as they tried to enter the United States. [2] Significantly, shortly after announcing this, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) removed the press release from its website. [3] Apparently the CBP preferred that Americans not know just how serious the crisis at the border really was.
All of this and much more represented a reimplementation of Obama-era policies and programs. And Biden’s team didn’t stop there. Immediately repudiating Trump’s deep and unshakeable support for Israel, the Biden administration returned to Barack Obama’s stance of hostility toward Israel, with blithe disregard for the wellbeing of America’s most reliable ally in the Middle East. The Washington Free Beacon reported in March 2021 that the administration was determined to fund the Palestinians with no regard whatsoever for what they planned to do with the money, up to and including the financing of jihad terror activity: “the Biden administration privately confirmed to Congress last week that the Palestinian Authority has continued to use international aid money to reward terrorists but said the finding won’t impact its plans to restart funding.” [4]
While betraying Israel as Obama did, Biden’s team is also following in his footsteps in providing aid and comfort to one of the most formidable enemies America faces on the world stage: the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Biden administration appears prepared to make virtually any concession in order to induce Iran to return to Obama’s disastrous nuclear deal, which—contrary to media myth—did nothing to hinder Iran’s nuclear program, and a great deal to empower it.
All this is taking place amid unprecedented threats to our First and Second Amendment rights to the freedom of speech and to bear arms. The social media giants and the media have colluded with the Biden team to whitewash the numerous crises into which Biden has plunged the nation, and to silence dissenting voices, most notably that of former President Trump, who have tried to alert the public to the gravity of what is really happening. The social media giants feel free to restrict Trump’s speech and that of other Americans because of legal protections that were put in place during the Obama years.
And so, by November 2021, after enjoying four years of relative peace and prosperity during the administration of Donald J. Trump, the nation faces chronic unemployment and inflation, a border crisis, grave threats to our constitutional liberties, increased violence and lawlessness from the leftist groups Antifa and Black Lives Matter, a weakening dollar, the emboldening of our enemies worldwide, and even worse on the horizon. Biden’s handlers are either catastrophically stupid and incompetent, or actively working to weaken the United States. In either case, the result is the same.
This is the world Barack Obama has made. This is his legacy.

I’m not sure what disgusts me more; the Biden administration, or this crap:

“Michael Flynn tonight: “If we are going to have one nation under God, which we must, we have to have one religion. One nation under God, and one religion under God.””
Wellington says
PRCS: What Flynn said was poorly articulated but I think I know what he meant and that is that Christianity has been the overwhelming religion of the American nation from its inception and even going back into the colonial period. I’m certain Flynn does not want want all religions banned except Christianity but he understands, and as agnostic myself I agree with him, that, as Dennis Prager, himself an Orthodox Jew, has said, the death of Christianity in America will mean the death of America. Christianity has been so woven into the fabric of the American nation, with its emphasis on the dignity and worth of the individual and that there is something more extraordinary than man, that its elimination or even marginalization will have deleterious consequences in sundry ways for America. Even if the Christian religion is a fiction, it is a necessary fiction, as someone as wise as Benjamin Franklin observed.
For the record, I am far, far more worried about the disgusting Biden Administration which is presently in the process of destroying America, including the rule of law, borders and sensible energy policies. Flynn is of no concern to me. Biden and his ilk are the true culprits. No contest.
PRCS says
Do note: I do not oppose religion in our country.
But, having read other articles and viewed other videos documenting his assertion, I disagree that his intent was poorly worded. Indeed, it was crystal clear.
Wellington says
So, you think Flynn wants to ban Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc.? Even if so I don’t fear his capacity to do this nearly as much as what Biden and his handlers and such ilk are presently doing to eviscerate the 1st Amendment, 2nd Amendment, the 4th Amendment, et al.
Flynn is as nothing compared to what is now going on with an administrative state which is now completely out of control. Merrick Garland is a far greater threat to liberty than Flynn ever will be or could be.
PRCS says
“So, you think Flynn wants to ban Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc.?”
““If we are going to have one nation under God, which we must[.]
For the millions of our nation’s atheists and followers of other faiths (“Hinduism, Buddhism, etc.), no, we are not and must NOT be.
Both what he asserts and what the Biden administration has done disgust me.
Wellington says
You mean both equally disgust you? How about at least a distinction between active harm and potential harm?
PRCS says
From my original post:
I’m not sure what disgusts me more; the Biden administration, or this crap:
Billy Corr says
O how silly, PRCS!
Enormous numbers of the dumber kind of Americans think that Jesus is
coming next Wednesday!
somehistory says
Growing numbers of the dumbest mock those with a faith in someone other than themselves.
While man has shown just how weak and foolish he is…so many examples in this day (bo, biden,etc)…the Wisdom of the heavens keeps being revealed. (think Webb, for instance)
Now, bc, mock on, and whatever “day” Jesus comes knocking, I’ll answer.
PRCS says
The wisdom of the heavens?
Same thing Muslims believe.
PRCS says
They–and Muslims–are entitled to their beliefs, of course. But our secular, man-made laws must reign supreme over ‘divine’ law.
A concept many of them have trouble with.
Westman says
It appears that the US foreign policy has been under the control of amateurs who pushed their ideology in place of reality beginning in the Obama Presidency. The real cost of that, while hedonism flourishes and conservative people try to survive with some morals, is staring us in the face – our amateur Biden team is pushing the world into WWII.
BIDEN: “..the idea the idea that we’re going to send in offensive equipment and have
planes and tanks and trains going in with american pilots and american crews just understand
and don’t kid yourself no matter what you all say, that’s called World, War III, okay?
Ukraine is losing. What decision will the amateurs make?
Westman says
WWIII, correction to WWII.
somehistory says
Planned calamity; planned destruction; planned theft; planned death.
“Never let a crisis go to waste.” Especially those crises which they themselves create.
Plan for calamity and make it happen. Plan for destruction and make that happen too. and while they are at it, they plan for the death of those bold and brave enough to disagree with them.
“The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy.”
Steal the money which belongs to the citizens and give it to terrorists….bo sent plane loads and his proxy is doing the same, only bigger loads, larger amounts.
Kill the economy, kill the people…kill anything good and pretend it’s a good killing that the majority want by lying again and again, claiming the “polls” agree with them.
Destroy everything so mozlums….like bo…can see islam as the only thing allowed, and the rest of the people knuckle under or be killed.
Walter Sieruk says
When Obama was President he was terrible, in many very treasonous ways.
As has been revealed in the book by Jamie Glazov which had the title JIHADIST PSYCHOPATH , for on pages 38,39 the reader is informed about the subversion of the United States of America by reckless unchecked mass immigration that “By importing so many masses of people who hate America and seek to destroy its way of life, the Left succeeds in severely damaging the United State and making it more vulnerable to attack This explains why President Obama worked so hard to flood the US with Muslim refugees and why the Left is now fighting Trump’s efforts to protect America from refugees who hail from terror –infested nations.”
Walter Sieruk says
It might be of interest to a few people that during the summer month of August in the year of 2010 I had attended a lecture in a church about the subject of Islam. The guest speaker was a man who in times past was a Muslim and a Hezbollah member as well as an Iranian citizen. Now he’s Christian and an American citizen. After the lecture, during the question and answer part, he was asked “Is Obama a Muslim?” The speaker replied that “I don’t know if he is a Muslim but his deception is Islamic.” Then he added about Obama “Whenever he talks he sounds just like a Muslim.” Moreover the guest speaker further said about Obama “He is going to hurt this country.” As just keyboarded above that lecture was hold in the year 2010 and since then Obama had ,indeed, hurt America by and through his words , actions , politics and polices .
Walter Sieruk says
The many evils that Obama did are most despicable
One of them is exposed in book written by the scholar on Islam and Islamic terrorism Jamie Glazov , which has the title of JIHADIST PSYCHOPATH on page 9, the reader is informed that “America’s suicidal disposition in the terror war reached a crisis level under Obama when American officials actually started seeking advice and direction from precisely those forces seeking to destroy the country
With Obama in the White House , therefore ,the enemy was in effect , advising Americans and formulating their policy on how to promote their cause.”
This is an absurdly of madness. This reveals the Obama was, as President, far worse than grossly incompetent, Obama was traitorous to both the American people a as well as to the United State of America. Obama was therefore an affront and disgrace to the office of Chief Executive in the White House.
Therefore, the former President Obama in his Islamic subversion of America is not even limited to being a traitor to The USA but in his insidious he way and is dangerous to all the other nations of the West.
Walter Sieruk says
The sad and tragic reality is that Obama still has much insidious and subversive power in the White House .and therefore in the American government. Because he has his useful idiot ,Joe Biden to use as his tool to use to subvert the US Constitution and impose Sharia law, and socialism in America.
Walter Sieruk says
Regarding the awfulness of Obama when he was president of the USA, some of it had been exposed by a former Revolutionary Guard of Iran who defected to America. For in his book TIME TO BETRAY its author, Reza Kahlili gives his first hand and testimony and observation when he had revealed to his readers, on page 335, that at first he was a bit naïve about Obama for “I had high hopes that the Obama administration would be tougher on the Islamic government of Iran, especially given what they knew about the regime’s nuclear activities. However, his first overture to the mullahs disappointed me. He sent greetings for the Persian New Year in which he urged better relations between American and Iran. He then repeated this in letters to Ayatollah Khamenei. To me, this was a sad case of not learning from history. Once again American politicians refused to see that the mullahs were not men of reason, and that their animosity toward America was rooted in the interpretation of a prophecy that called for the annihilation of the West and all non-Muslims. I knew the regime would see Obama’s entreaties as assign of weakness, and that this would embolden them to take radical steps.”
Walter Sieruk says
Barack Obama may accurately be seen as the personification of the twenty –first century phenomena known as the “Red/Green Alliance.”
OLD GUY says
Just think what our children and grandchildren are going to be faced with in the coming years. We as citizens of this great country have failed them.
