This concerns the question of the identity of the people who are behind the violent protesters at Donald Trump’s rallies.
There are going to be ad-hominem attacks
against me for my reporting this account, which will contradict the
myths that both progressives and conservatives hold regarding the U.S.
government, but anyone who recognizes that the press to this day hides
its having hidden the incontestable fact that George W. Bush knowingly falsified, lied regarding the evidence concerning “Saddam’s WMD,” will
at least give this account, and its source, fair and unprejudiced
consideration, as being possibly accurate and honest. Sometimes, in
order to get to the truth in a case, it’s necessary to rely upon the
testimony of people that one considers despicable; the FBI wouldn’t be
able to crack many cases otherwise — and, sad to say, neither can I. So:
please don’t dismiss me for relying here upon a researcher whom I
personally detest — and whom you might likewise detest.
I believe that the libertarian Roger
Stone, who is the Republican Party’s most gifted opposition-researcher,
after having been Richard Nixon’s most gifted dirty-trickster, and after
his having ferreted out the hypocrisy of Eliot Spitzer for paying
prostitutes — after, in other words, Stone’s having worked for
politicians I despise, and destroyed the careers of ones I admire — is
among this nation’s stellar investigative journalists; and I have found,
over the years, that, when he reports about dirty tricks, what he has
reported is only confirmed, not disconfirmed, as time passes. In other
words: though I don’t like the man, and I disagree with his politics, I
respect his news-reporting. And, here is what he says, in a rush
interview with the ‘conspiracy theorist’ (another libertarian) Alex
Jones, on Saturday evening, March 12th, and I think that the entire
nation needs to hear Stone’s account, at least to give it consideration.
So, here it is:
My rush transcript of highlights from his rush-interview:
I think everybody in the country has now heard about these violent protests [at Trump rallies] which
are being blamed on supporters of Bernie Sanders. … This is a
false-flag. These demonstrators are flying under a false banner. They
are not Sanders supporters by-and-large. This is an operation directed
by supporters of Hillary Clinton, paid for by George Soros and Move-On,
by David Brock at Media Matters for America, also funded by Soros, and
also by the reclusive billionaire Jonathan Lewis. Now, Lewis was
identified by the Miami New Times as a ‘mystery man.’ He inherited
roughly a billion dollars from his father Peter Lewis … [founder of Progressive Insurance Company].
Jonathan Lewis interestingly withdrew his support of the Democratic
National Committee over the immigration bill that he thought was unfair
to gays. In any event, this is a Hillary Clinton operation. The idea
here, very clearly, is to divide the Sanders economic voters from Trump;
in other words, those voters who lost their jobs because of NAFTA and
all of the other globalist international trade-deals that have screwed
this country, they now realize that these voters are potentially, when
Sanders is out of the race, Trump votes, and this is an effort to make
Trump toxic, to disqualify him, [as a] racist, bigot, the whole thing is
essentially a hoax. It’s a gambit directed, by the way, by Brock. Brock
was once a friend of mine and was a comrade in the fight for freedom;
but he went over to the dark side, with the Clintons, for money: big,
big, big, money; and this is unfortunately his little dirty trick,
Unfortunately, they have leaks within their operation, my sources are of
the very best. The entire collaboration in Chicago is a Hillary Clinton
operation. And, frankly, I can’t see Bernie Sanders having anything to
do with it. I don’t agree with Bernie, but I respect him, and this is
not his handiwork or the handiwork of his campaign.
[Jones here goes on to explain why he
respects the investigative reports from Stone, then says, “When I saw
all these Bernie shirts and Bernie people saying ‘We attack!’ — you
know, people shooting guns in the air saying ‘We support Bernie!’ that
is so clearly a way to attack him, make him look like a radical
revolutionary, and to make Hillary look good, and also make Trump look
like a racist when the media plays this up. You’re absolutely right. …
To be clear: you have sources inside saying this is a Soros/Brock Media
Matters, which they admit is run by the White House, they have weekly
meetings, Obama’s former transition chief. … We’ve seen the build-up
toward race-war this summer, this fall, to try to cloud the entire
election; is that what you’re getting at; is this the opening salvo … ]
[Stone continues] I think Hillary
understands that Trump would lose the votes of certain establishment
Republicans if he is the nominee. On the other hand, it doesn’t matter,
because of his crossover outreach. Right now in Ohio, Democrats and
independents in the Mahoning Valley, these people have lost their jobs
because of these great globalist trade deals, are lining up to vote for
Donald Trump in the Republican primary, which is legal in Ohio with some
paperwork. And we saw this same crossover in Michigan. So it occurred
to the Clinton people that Bernie’s economic voters — not his hard-left
voters, she’s not going to get them, they’re not going for Hillary,
blue-collar folks who have just figured out that they have been left out
of the new-world-order economy, are a ripe target for Trump; he’s
already getting that, she is petrified of it; so, this little maneuver,
this David Brock dirty trick, solves two problems at once: it
helps knock down Bernie, because after all these people are involved in
violence; and it also disqualifies Trump as a future vote, by portraying
him as a racist or a bigot. The whole thing is a kabuki dance.
And I think it’s very important that Trump understand that it’s not the
Sanders campaign that’s disrupting his rallies; this is a Hillary
Clinton operation.
[Jones asks for more details.]
[Stone continues] Hillary Clinton
empowered a certain member of Congress to approach the billionaire John
Lewis to pay for a portion of this overall program. This isn’t just
Chicago. You’re now going to see these phony demonstrators, these
ringers, showing up at other Trump events. … That’s as much as I’m
prepared to say. …
——
That’s the interview.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign benefits enormously by this tactic:
1: It re-orients the issue away from economics toward race; away from economic issues and toward ethnic conflicts
2: It identifies Sanders with violent supporters.
3: It identifies Trump with racism and
violence by his having black ‘Bernie supporters’ (of which there are
few) disrupting Trump’s rallies.
4: While it smears both Sanders, her
current opponent, and Trump, her likely future opponent, it leaves
Hillary herself unscathed.
So: the proposed explanation makes sense, and it’s entirely in character for Hillary Clinton.
Therefore: I believe it.
