HOW DODGY IS DODGY ROGER STONE?

I find it incredible that one man, Roger Stone, is implicated in the two biggest events of this century: 9/11; and the financial crisis of 2007/8.

Stone fixed it for George W Bush to take Florida in 2000 by organising a riot to stop a recount. Bush was later surrounded by PNAC in The White House so that on 9/11 PNAC were on his case 24/7 to go to war for their agenda set out in Rebuilding America's Defenses and A Clean Break, and expanded in the plan revealed to General Wesley Clark.

Stone scuttled an investigation into Wall Street by Eliot Spitzer by exposing Spitzer for using high class whores. This allowed Wall Street to continue its gambling and to issue easy credit which led to the crisis in 2007/8.

I just found an article on Stone which exposes just how dodgy Dodgy Roger Stone can be:

Stone, who going back to his class elections in high school has been a proponent of recruiting patsy candidates to split the other guy's support, remembers suggesting to Cohn that if they could figure out a way to make John Anderson the Liberal Party nominee in New York, with Jimmy Carter picking up the Democratic nod, Reagan might win the state in a three-way race. “Roy says, 'Let me look into it.'” Cohn then told him, “'You need to go visit this lawyer'—a lawyer who shall remain nameless—‘and see what his number is.’ I said, ‘Roy, I don't understand.’ Roy says, ‘How much cash he wants, dumbfuck.’” Stone balked when he found out the guy wanted $125,000 in cash to grease the skids, and Cohn wanted to know what the problem was. Stone told him he didn't have $125,000, and Cohn said, "That's not the problem. How does he want it?"

Cohn sent Stone on an errand a few days later. “There's a suitcase,” Stone says. “I don't look in the suitcase . . . I don't even know what was in the suitcase . . . I take the suitcase to the law office. I drop it off. Two days later, they have a convention. Liberals decide they're endorsing John Anderson for president. It's a three-way race now in New York State. Reagan wins with 46 percent of the vote. I paid his law firm. Legal fees. I don't know what he did for the money, but whatever it was, the Liberal Party reached its right conclusion out of a matter of principle.”

In retrospect, Stone] seems to feel pretty good—now that certain statutes of limitations are up. He cites one of Stone's Rules, by way of Malcolm X, his “brother under the skin”: “By any means necessary.” “Reagan got the electoral votes in New York State, we saved the country,” Stone says with characteristic understatement. “[More] Carter would've been an unmitigated disaster.”

In other words, Roger Stone is boasting about buying American democracy, using the mob and third party candidates. It’s funny, because during last week’s GOP debate, Trump bragged about buying off half the GOP candidates as well as Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi, and gaining all the access he wanted by giving them cash...and he also refused to rule out running as a third party candidate.

On Trump and Stone working on Trump's casinos:
By this time, Trump had already started working with Roger Stone. Both were big fans of Roy Cohn; both enjoyed talking like Goodfellas characters in public and watching the normals swoon over their macho act. But more than anything, both were interested in cashing in on the booming casino business.

Sometimes this meant buying favors from politicians to get casinos opened; sometimes it meant running dirty campaigns to get rival casinos closed. This is what happened in 2000, when Trump and Stone were fined $250,000 for setting up a fake “family values” front group in New York, the Institute for Law and Society, to run a series of racist ads against a planned Indian casino in the Catskills that Trump feared would drain business from his casinos in Atlantic City.

So Trump and Stone whipped up anti-Indian racism to protect Trump’s business. The ad they ran featured a dark photo of a hypodermic needle and drug gear, and the text warned:

The St. Regis Mohawk Indian Tribe proposes to open a gambling casino at the Monticello Race Track in Sullivan County.

How much do you really know about the St. Regis Mohawk Indians?

Are these the new neighbors we want? The St. Regis Mohawk Indian record of criminal activity is well documented. This proposed Monticello Indian Casino will bring increased crime and violence to Sullivan County.

And on getting W elected in 2000:
That year, 2000, was a busy year for the Donald Trump-Roger Stone partnership.

Stone had been hired by the George W. Bush campaign to carry out two major black bag jobs that we know of: Sabotaging the Florida recount vote, using a mob of “angry” Cubans and Republican “preppies” to storm a Miami-Dade recount and stop it in its tracks, which Stone — hired for the job by James Baker — succeeded in doing.

How Roger Stone and Donald Trump destroyed George W. Bush’s potential rivals in 2000 is less well known. That year, George W. Bush faced two known threats, and Roger Stone was tasked with neutralizing them: Pat Buchanan, whose 1992 run nearly crippled Bush’s father in the primaries; and Ross Perot’s Reform Party, which drained enough votes in ’92 and ’96 to ensure Clinton victories.

I would urge you to read the article in full.

But all the above is child's play compared to their hero Roy Cohn, who:
1. procured children for a CIA satanic cult to abuse, and for a paedophile entrapment ring to collect blackmail material for the CIA;
2. sat on the board of Permindex, which is implicated in the assassination of JFK and the attempt on Charles de Gaulle.

There is other stuff on Cohn, such as his friendship with FBI chief J Edgar Hoover.

So how can Trump make America great again?

Simples: he can't.

But he can use the US military to back Israel against Iran...
