Roger Stone initially wanted to be an actor. A large part of what he does is political theatre aka defrauding the public. See the Brooks Brothers riot, “Stop the Steal” (2016, 2018, & 2020) and the dangerous antics of his protégé Jacob Engels. 1/
8/ Stone and the Proud Boys. See what I mean? It’s like a bad theater production. It would be funny, but he’s actually dangerous.
9/ The Brooks Brothers riot was a Roger Stone production. Pure astroturf.
10/ He stole the V sign (for victory) from Nixon. More political theater.
11/ When Roger Stone hooked up with Alex Jones and Jones’s InfoWars audience in 2016 (which is large, angry, gullible, and armed), Stone became 10x as dangerous.
12/ Roger Stone protege Jack Posobiec at the 2016 DNC protest sparked by the Wikileaks email dumps that Stone had “nothing” to do with.
14/ Roger Stone, Jacob Engels, and Proud Boys leader Joe Biggs have all worked for InfoWars. It has been a very combustible combination.
15/ According to Roger Stone protege Ali Alexander, “Stop the Steal” 2020 was a Roger Stone production too. Just like the Brooks Brothers riot. (Only w/ brainwashed MAGAs & militias) jennycohn1.medium.com/the-oath-keepe…
16/ I don’t know if Roger was involved with Unite the Right or not. I would not be surprised though.
17/ It did have a certain theatrical flare. All those Nazis wearing button up shirts and dockers while carrying tiki torches. Made for the cameras.
18/ Side by side.
19/ Matt Gaetz was still close with Roger Stone when he staged this impeachment walk out. (They are both from Florida, as is Jacob Engels.)
20/ Three peas in a pod. (Joel Greenberg is also a Floridian.)
21/ “I was 12 years old. Previously I wanted to be an actor. That’s what they say, ‘Politics is show business for ugly people.’” - Roger Stone ctmirror.org/2017/01/29/rog…
23/ Related thread re: Roger Stone’s protégés. threadreaderapp.com/thread/1471250…
26/ More on the Black Man for Trump guy. @RogerWants has been researching & following Roger Stone’s inauthentic behavior for years. She’s a great resource.
27/ It was @RogerWants who called to my attention that the Unite the Right Nazis in 2017 were dressed like the Brooks Brothers rioters from 2000.

He may be lying, but Maurice Symonette (who previously called himself Maurice Woodside) aka thd “Black Man for Trump” claims on his website to be related 2 Roland Symonette & the (at least formerly) wealthy Symonette family from the Bahamas. 1/ #RogerStone gods2com.webstarts.com/about_maurice_… Image

3/ It would explain Maurice’s access to TFG and connections to other far right influencers.

“As a member of President Richard M. Nixon’s Committee to Re-Elect the President, better known as CREEP, Stone helped recruit a young operative to spy on a group of Quakers who had set up a peace vigil in front of the Nixon White House.” 1/ washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
2/ Stone “admitted to Congress that he faked a contribution from the Young Socialist Alliance to… a Republican who in 1972 was mounting a challenge to Nixon in the NH primary.” Stone then sent the receipt to the media. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
3/ “Stone did not merely engage in dirty tricks; in 1972, the then-19-year-old Stone was assigned by CREEP official Herbert ‘Bart’ Porter to recruit a spy to penetrate the campaigns of Democratic presidential hopefuls.”

Question: How do you join “antifa,” & who leads “antifa”?

Answer: you can’t & no one. It’s an ideology, not a group. Roger Stone & his associates decided to exaggerate antifa’s presence & to pretend that it’s an organization bc every good fascism movement needs an enemy. 1/
