Lt Gen McInerney Reports US Special Forces Attacked CIA Server Farm In Germany In Server Seizure Operation, 5 Soldiers Killed, Servers Secured
[CreativeDestructionMedia] Lt General Thomas McInerney and Lt General Michael Flynn gave interviews to WVW Broadcasting Network today. It was Flynn’s first interview since his pardon.

In stunning testimony, McInerney stated his sources have told him U.S. Army Special Forces, possibly the famed Delta Force, raided the CIA-run server farm in Frankfurt, Germany. 5 soldiers were killed in the ensuing firefight, as well as one CIA paramilitary. The CIA personnel were allegedly flown in from Afghanistan for security, according to reports.

Subsequent review of the secured servers yielded proof that China, Iran, and Russia were involved in the attempted coup against President Donald Trump, who will be shown to have won an overwhelming victory for the American people, McInerney revealed.

"These people have committed treason," declared McInerney. He pleaded with President Trump to not leave office until the treason is uncovered, otherwise America will be fatally wounded and ripe for takeover by our enemies.

McInerney also stated that he believes President Trump knew the steal was coming, hence his executive order issued for sanctions for interference in our elections by foreign powers.

According to his bio, McInerney was a forward air controller and fighter pilot during the Vietnam War and had flown 407 combat missions during his four tours of duty. In other words, a patriot and trustworthy.

Reports are now circulating that General Flynn is involved in helping the President with a private intelligence operation.

You can listen to the interview here. McInerney is in the second half of the interview.

#1 Appears to be 'single source' reporting so far. More evidence needed.

As has been said here previously, placing the offending cyber manipulator boxes in 'controlled' overseas locations makes sense.

#2 Five soldiers and a CIA guy killed taking a CIA place in Frankfurt. Starring Matt Damon and Jason Stetham? Who's the babe?

#3 And be sure not to overlook the link at the bottom of the article that says "You can listen to the interview here."

Flynn's interview was good, but McInerny's brought in a bunch of new information to consider that hasn't been made public yet that I know of. The world has been put on notice.

#5 I believe McInerny disappeared from the scene when he said, confidently, that his sources told him MH370 had been hijacked and was down--someplace, don't recall--with passengers hostage.

If he and Flynn are right about this, the CIA managed to kill FIVE American spec ops guys? Did the Spec Ops guys send an announcement ahead or something? Fishy, says I.

#6 Why would military brass who defied orders to withdraw from Syria and Afghanistan follow orders and attack a CIA installation?

How would six dead in a firefight in Frankfurt -- not a backwoods village -- be kept out of the news?

Why would Merkel tolerate US military action inside Germany?

#12 Whether this story is true is one thing. But spec ops don't require local permission. Coloring outside the lines is part of the program for these guys which is why they sometimes go overboard. As when a couple of SEALs killed a Green Beret who got onto their grift.

#14 A firefight with multiple casualties isn't something the office cleaning lady can handle. If McInerney is truthful, then someone is feeding him disinformation.

#17 NOTE: I have NOT seen any collection of Obituary related notices at any of the SFOD-D base area locations. Since Delta Force is US Army Sgt. and above there would be family thus a strong likelihood the families would hold a funeral and there would be Newspaper Obits placed.

ALSO, IF...the CIA deployed an asset protection team. I am sure they have since perfected their data destruction lessons since Tehran Nov 1979.

Likely there would have been a collection of thermite grenades or a Hillary level data sanitation process ready for use on short notice.

#20 BTW, since it is the 1st Advent Sunday, I've dug into my collection of nice Christmas market mugs and use them to sip on my coffee or tea through Christmas, if not through Three Kings Day.

A mug from Munich, 1990, will start things off.

#21 I did a few more searches on what I thought might be key words in the article, and Frankfurt gave results. It looks like our earliest version of the tale was on November 14, when Representative Louie Gohmert (R-TX) reportedly told Chris Salcedo on Newsmax about it in an interview.

Some still manage to sell glühwein.

#23 My recipe for mulled wine, from the nice people at Cook’s Illustrated maagazine. I’ll see if I have something specific for Gluhwein in a bit.

Mulled Wine
Cooks Illustrated 11/02 (makes about 1 1/2 quarts, serving 8)
The Problem: The reality of this drink is reminiscent of cough syrup--sickeningly sweet and over spiced, with a strong taste of alcohol. Other recipes produce a bitter, pithy brew that even additional sugar can't remedy.
The Solution: For full, round flavors, choose a careful balance of cinnamon sticks, cloves, peppercorns, and allspice berries, then toast the spices to unlock their full potential. Add a medium- to full-bodied red wine that you enjoy drinking, plus a modest amount of sugar. Simmer the wine for a full hour to ensure a full-flavored drink that doesn't taste raw. Before serving, stir in a couple of spoonfuls of brandy for a fresh, boozy kick.

The flavor of the mulled wine deteriorates if it is simmered for longer than 1 hour. It is best served immediately after mulling but will keep fairly hot off heat, covered, for about 30 minutes. Leftover mulled wine can be reheated in the microwave or in a saucepan on the stovetop.

3 sticks cinnamon (3-inches each)
10 whole cloves
10 whole black peppercorns
1 tsp allspice berries (about 25)
2 bottles red wine medium- or full-bodied
4 strips orange zest removed with vegetable peeler, each strip about 2 inches long by 1/2 inch wide, cleaned of any white pith
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Add to taste: 2 Tbsp granulated sugar and 2 - 4 Tbsp brandy, opt.

Toast cinnamon sticks, cloves, peppercorns, and allspice in medium heavy-bottomed nonreactive saucepan over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add wine, orange zest, and 1/2 cup sugar; cover partially and bring to simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to low and simmer 1 hour until wine is infused; do not boil.

Strain wine through fine-mesh strainer; return wine to saucepan and discard spices and orange zest. Stir 2 tablespoons brandy into wine if desired; taste and add up to 2 tablespoons more sugar and 2 tablespoons more brandy, to taste. Ladle wine into small mugs; serve immediately.

#24 /\ I think that should definitely cut the mustard for Glühwein. Thanks for posting.

Perhaps EC has family Geheimtipp he would like to share!

A pity no Christkindlmärkte this year, EC, but totally understandable.

#26 Definitely do not share family secrets, European Conservative. That’s a good way to become one. However, it won’t hurt to show Mrs, Conservative the recipe below, and ask if the Americans got it right. ;-)

Here is the Glühwein recipe from the cookbook put out by the American Women’s Club of the Taunus, which is not the same group as the American Women’s Club of Frankfurt (on the Main River, of course, not the East German one)— or was not as of 1995.

Glühwein
2 cups (1/2 liter) red wine
1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar (Rohzucker)
2 2” (5cm) cinnamon sticks (Zimtstangen)
1 lemon stuck with cloves (Gewürzneckeln)
1/2 cup (1/8 liter) brandy

Heat all ingredients except brandy. Simmer gently, covered, for 2-4 minutes. Remove from heat, add brandy, strain, and serve at once.

Serves 4.
