BY RICK AIELLO - John Flynn of Norwalk, Connecticut is a legal activist and investigative reporter who has been exposing corruption, particularly the election, 5G, foreclosure, and judicial fraud that is rampant in Connecticut. His video content on YouTube, Rumble, and X is based on provable reality and focused on extremely powerful and corrupt members of Connecticut’s deeply flawed uniparty state.
On March 24, 2025, U.S. Senate candidate John Flynn was arrested, placed in handcuffs and leg shackles, and “sentenced” – without trial or conviction – to be confined at Whiting Forensic Hospital for the Criminally Insane in Middletown CT because a court-appointed social worker falsely “diagnosed” him to be schizophrenic and criminally insane. He is neither. Nor is he delusional. But his political opponents do not want his truthful statements about hot button issues such as the 2020 election in Connecticut being stolen or the hazards of “5G” cell tower radiation to be made public. That his accusations are factual is why he has been locked up, drugged by the state against his will, and his other God-given rights abused. He is a victim of “medical kidnapping”, and has been (and continues to be) subjected to torture and extortion at Whiting, with none of his rights – including habeas corpus – being upheld.
He was eventually questionably charged with resisting arrest, trespassing, and threatening – based on a years-old video – by Connecticut Superior Court Judge Mary Elizabeth Reid and the Commissioner of the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services.
The Connecticut courts are using Whiting as a vehicle to detain and drug political opponents and whistleblowers in retribution for exercising their constitutionally protected speech revealing corruption in Connecticut. Mr. Flynn was already well aware of how corrupt Whiting is. When he tried to notify the FBI in New Haven CT in 2022 about Whiting’s crimes, they refused to accept his documentation (runs 4:29):
This is because the FBI in Connecticut is also corrupt.
All of John Flynn’s God-given due process rights have been violated since day one, and continue to be violated, including his right to represent himself in his own defense.
At Whiting:
· He is restricted to naming up to six people who can visit him. They have to undergo background checks to be approved, but so far, none has been approved. We have been able to contact him only by telephone
· He was allowed only crayons with which to write at first; he later “graduated” to the use of a pen – but only for an hour or so, for certain hours of the day.
· He is allowed to use the copier to make only 10 copies per day.
· He is a diabetic and injected himself with insulin daily for all of his adult life (he is now 61). But his diet there consists of simple starches that are sugars, such as Cheerios, white rice, and rolls, and hardly any protein. As a result, his blood sugar frequently spikes to over 500 milligrams per deciliter (normal should be under 100).
· He is awakened every 15 minutes, all night long, by the shining of a laser-like light in his face, to see if he is “okay”. He therefore cannot get REM sleep.
· Upon returning to Whiting from the kangaroo court hearing on May 21, 2025, he was subjected to a full body cavity search, despite the fact that he had only been transported to and from the courtroom and a temporary holding cell – neither of which justified such an invasive and degrading procedure.
These are just a few of the restrictions, deprivations, and rights abuses he is enduring at Whiting Forensic.
Some Whiting staff members have said that he has no psychiatric illness and does not belong there, but were afraid to state this on the record. Others who know Mr. Flynn and have spoken to him since his unlawful arrest know that he does not hallucinate, hear voices, or see objects that aren’t there. They know he is not violent, paranoid, schizophrenic, or a criminal threat to society. The only thing he is guilty of is exposing corruption – and the corruptocrats don’t like it. So, they locked him down and drugged him up so they can continue with their criminal enterprise masquerading as “government”.
The “insane” label is now routinely applied to delegitimize political candidates who oppose the establishment power brokers. Connecticut has replaced “racist” with “insanity” as the smear du jour with the extra kick of forced detainment and deprivation!
He had a decent attorney initially, Samantha Pernal, until the court told him he had to use a court-appointed one, Dennis Bradley, so his original attorney could not continue representing him. Pernal said in court, “I have spoken with my client, Mr. Flynn. He understands the charges being brought against him. We did have a conversation about moving this to pre-trial. He understands the charges he is being charged with, and he is able to assist me in his defense.” After Connecticut Superior Court Judge Maria Gonzalez heard that, Gonzales said, “As the parties know, there is a presumption of competency under the law. and although I understand the state concerns, I am not going to find at this time that there is a justifiable basis for me to order a competency evaluation.”
However, Pernal is out of the picture and Mr. Flynn is saddled with the court-appointed public defender, Dennis Bradley. For the record, Mr. Bradley, has three federal charges against him: wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud in violation of 18 USC 1349 and 1343 in connection with Bradley’s 2018 campaign for Connecticut state senator. It was Bradley who was serving as Flynn’s unwanted attorney at the pre-trial hearing in Bridgeport, Connecticut on May 21, 2025, during which Judge Mary Elizabeth Reid presided over what could only be described as a kangaroo court proceeding. John Flynn was not allowed to speak at that hearing. When he tried to speak, Ried told him he was legally incompetent and was not allowed to speak. After he turned around and spotted several court watchers who have been helping him, Judge Reid told him not to turn around.
Brittany Mayzler, a LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) at Whiting Forensic, spoke for nearly an hour at that hearing. She admitted she had reviewed no medical history since March of 2025, yet she spoke rather glibly while barely referring to any notes about John’s alleged “incompetency”. She acknowledged that Mr. Flynn was entitled to his “conspiratorial views” relating to the outside world but claimed that he believed they also applied to his legal case and that these were false beliefs, despite the facts presented in this Notice demonstrating that very conspiracy in his legal case. She offered as an example his statement that “I will never get a fair trial.” He certainly did not get a fair hearing, let alone fair treatment at any level, which proves his claim, but this point was completely lost on Ms. Mayzler.
John Flynn was interviewed on March 31, 2025, a week after his incarceration at Whiting started. This video, Investigative Journalist John Flynn Sent For 60 Day Psych Evaluation For Challenging Judge, will provide more details about the exposes that landed him there (runs 1:07:17):
To give you a small inkling of what Flynn has been through in this travesty (in addition to that already described), he said in this interview: “The guy who runs the Bridgeport DMHAS [Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services at 100 Fairfield Avenue, Bridgeport CT] . . . is covered with tattoos, piercings, know, the loop earrings, green fingernail polish. I mean, I was afraid to ask him how he identified, ‘cause he probably would have to say ‘lizard’. I mean, that’s the guy in charge of the office that wrote a nine-page conclusion on my mental health. And you think to yourself, Hold on a second. I couldn’t vouch what planet he was from. So, and if you read the document, it’s like John’s delusional, John’s this, he’s, you know, I have the document. I can read it to you if you’d like.”
Mr. Flynn also said that he was required to submit to Whiting’s medical treatment. He was not given informed consent (which should be called informed choice), and that the judge told him if he didn’t agree to the treatment, he’d go to jail for seven years.
In an interview on April 21, 2025, called Investigative Journalist John Flynn Believes US Senators Blumenthal & Murphy Behind Attacks For Exposing Corruption (https://rumble.com/v6sdzqb-investigative-journalist-john-flynn-believes-us-senators-blumenthal-and-mur.html) Flynn expounded upon his “conspiracy theories” – all of which are backed by evidence – especially regarding 5G radiation and election fraud. The election fraud is not limited to the nearly 58,000 signatures he obtained to get on the ballot for the U.S. Senate election that were zeroed out by someone who was determined to prevent him from replacing the incumbent communist Senator Chris Murphy. It includes the fact that Connecticut hacked the elections of some 20 different states, including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Vermont.
In these and all his other interviews and videos, you can see that Mr. Flynn is sharp as a tack, not incompetent at all, and certainly not a danger to himself or to others, as even the Superior Court, GA 2 under Judge Mary Elizabeth Reid and Brittany Mayzler freely admitted. But Judge Reid declared that Mr. Flynn, who as a diabetic was forced to stand before her in court for over 45 minutes with his hands cuffed behind his back, without water, without being able to represent himself or speak, flanked by two state marshals, was “legally incompetent” (without providing a definition of the term) and concluded that he needed to be detained for another 90 days at Whiting until he is proven to be “competent” – all based on the “testimony” of Brittany Mayzler.
Mayzler has disregarded Mr. Flynn’s medical history and refused to engage his treating physician, and allowed her personal disagreement with his political opinions to taint a competency assessment, a clear breach of ethical obligations to impartiality, not to mention an ongoing violation of his Constitutionally protected freedom to speak.
The court watchers helping Mr. Flynn all agreed that social worker Brittany Mayzler was equating his disagreement with Mayzler’s assertions about his “condition” as a “lack of understanding,” which leads to the conclusion that the determination of competence is acquiescence with whatever the other party asserts. If his competency was to be determined honestly and sincerely, the judge would have allowed Mr. Flynn to speak for himself so all could hear his own words, and a medical professional would have been called to the stand to testify as to his competency – even though it was obvious to all present. Instead, the assertion of one social worker – Brittany Mayzler – of Mr. Flynn being “very intelligent, yet incompetent” served as the sole basis for detaining him at Whiting for another 90 days.
If anyone thinks little ol’ Connecticut is just a simple, peaceful, rustic, idyllic ,all-American piece of New England, please watch the videos linked in this email, as well as Trevor Loudon’s How a Tiny Communist Party Took Over the Politics of a Whole American State — Connecticut. This runs 20:26
This is not unique to Connecticut, whose name should be the “Communist State of Corrupticut”. It is endemic all over the country, and anyone can be subjected to it.
This email is an appeal to help not only John Flynn but Americans everywhere.
If you are appalled by this heinously egregious exhibition of corruption and extortion and want to help free John Flynn from the gulag that is masquerading as Whiting Forensic Hospital, you can write letters expressing your opinion of his treatment to the people listed below. The idea is to let them know you are watching their behavior as public servants under the Constitution and that you do not approve of their actions. Put pressure on them. You can also file petitions of habeas corpus as instructed in the Investigative Journalist John Flynn Believes US Senators Blumenthal & Murphy Behind Attacks For Exposing Corruption video.
I have attached transcripts of this, the Investigative Journalist John Flynn Sent For 60 Day Psych Evaluation For Challenging Judge video, and the telephone conversation one of the court watchers at the May 21 hearing had with John afterward that hearing for your convenience.

Rick,
My compliments on this report and thank you for composing it. It is quite extensive.
I was forwarded a link to your site from a mutual friend and am concerned by the subject at hand. It strikes me as a stunning example of an immediate, local and righteous battle to engage in.
Our paths have crossed previously and I believe that your Patriotism is authentic.
I have sent in requests to file habeas corpus petitions to the individuals cited within your report and would also like to step up and remit letters of disapproval to the players identified, but I have questions surrounding the sequence of events and do not want to compound matters for Mr. Flynn by making…
