Lin Wood and Michael Flynns falling out has turned into a circular MAGA firing squad.The big MAGA civil war between Trump-loving attorney Lin Wood and former national security adviser Michael Flynn went nuclear this week and its causing chaos among the former presidents acolytes.
As Fever Dreams previously reported, Wood has been scrambling to retain credibility on the right ever since Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse slammed him as a shoddy lawyer and accused him of betrayal and grift. Hes also been attacking fellow stop-the-steal figures like Kraken-queen Sidney Powell and former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne. For example, Woodwho has a penchant for taping his friends as well as his enemiesreleased audio of Byrne trash-talking Powell, claiming that she wanted to sleep with him and that she spread lies about him after he rejected her. There has been a good amount of infighting and backstabbing recently, stuff that amounts to very high-school-style drama, explains Fever Dreams co-host Will Sommer.
But things really escalated when Wood released audio of Flynnhis erstwhile buddy and fellow QAnon heroripping into the pro-Trump conspiracy theory as a CIA-backed plot. This, despite the fact that QAnons been very good to Michael Flynn, Sommer notes. Some of them believe hes Q I mean this is a guy who is thick as thieves with QAnon. But privately, [he calls it] a CIA operation. Its nonsense. So this is a pretty big break from what he does publicly.
As a result, pro- and anti-Flynn factions inside QAnon have been ripping into each other on Telegram and other right-wing social media platforms. This has basically started a big civil war including, I should say, the JFK Jr. people in Dallas. So theyve all sided with Lin. Michael Flynn, obviously, has his own adherentsbut this has really, like, started a lot of drama, Sommer says.

OP
The JFK nuts in Dallas are with Wood, not Flynn? Wood wins the Qnut war, hands down.
