At 6 a.m. this morning, FBI agents in full tactical gear with long guns, hit the door of a 66 year old unarmed political consultant whose sin is defiance and mockery of their authority. They were accompanied by a CNN camera crew, whispering sports-type commentary for this Robert Mueller staged geek show. Roger Stone, the victim of this thuggery, pointed out in a statement following his initial court appearance, that throughout Mueller’s investigation of him, he has been represented by an attorney, and normal procedure would involve contacting that attorney and allowing for Stone’s voluntary surrender. Instead, Stone was indicted, arrested, and, as of this writing, his house in Ft. Lauderdale and his apartment in New York are being searched. He was released after an appearance in the U.S. District Court in Florida and will appear to answer the charges in Washington, D.C. next week. The words which come to mind are those from the famous poem by Martin Niemöller about an apathetic and cowardly citizen confronted by Nazis hauling off one allegedly dissident group after another and not acting, “First They Came for the Socialists.” Or, perhaps, Maurice Ogden’s, “The Hangman.”

The indictment is about lying to Congress and raging by email against people who sell you out once the full force of the state is applied against them. Stone tore into Randy Credico, a New York radio commentator, comedian, and Democratic Party hack who allegedly helped Stone contact Wikileaks, as Credico sold Stone out to House investigators and to Robert Mueller. The Stone emails containing these tirades are now called “obstruction of justice” and “witness tampering,” by Mueller. It appears from the indictment that Credico and conspiracy nut Jerome Corsi, who assisted Stone’s attempted contacts with WikiLeaks, both sold Stone out to save their own skins. As most know, lying to Congress is a Washington, D.C. art form, which, if you are a presently favored servant of the Beltway Bandits, of the national security state, never receives public mention, let alone an indictment. Stone adamantly denies that he lied to the House Intelligence Committee or engaged in any obstruction or witness tampering.

Stone’s attempts to find out what WikiLeaks had obtained regarding the Hillary Clinton campaign from Democratic National Committee computers and the emails of John Podesta, and the timing of any releases by WikiLeaks, were not illegal. For a long-time political consultant like Stone, not seeking to learn more about the emails would amount to campaign malpractice, if Stone was actually employed as a consultant to the Trump Campaign. Yet, Trump himself broke off his relationship to Stone in 2015, long before the WikiLeaks email episodes. In fact, this is yet another Mueller “bombshell” in which the crime alleged has been created by Mueller, based on harassing and bankrupting potential witnesses — a so-called process crime for falling into created perjury traps — a concocted crime that has nothing to do with Trump himself.

Roger Stone has been bankrupted by legal fees stemming from the investigatory and grand jury process as well as by civil suits launched against him by Democratic partisans. It’s obvious that Mueller will now try and flip Stone, using the hammer created by the years in prison implied in multiple false-statement, obstruction, and witness-tampering charges. To date, including in his first post-arrest statement, Stone has loudly and publicly refused to cave, compose, or fabricate in order to falsely implicate the President in any crime.

The WikiLeaks purloined emails at issue, demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt that Hillary Clinton and the DNC were rigging the 2016 Democratic presidential primaries against Bernie Sanders and that Hillary Clinton was a craven suck-up to Wall Street. The truth of what was released by WikiLeaks in 2016 about Clinton and Podesta has largely been buried in the fake drama concocted by Mueller and his collaborators in the media and the Congress about “Russian interference” to swing the election to Trump. This drama was originally produced and directed by British intelligence with the Obama White House and intelligence agencies as its main actors. Mueller is charged with re-running it endlessly, dressing it up, and destroying those who refuse to play their part in the now completely confabulated tale. It is hoped that as the result of the sheer volume of the bull pucky thrown, all with self-righteous and pompous seriousness, some episode in this fabricated drama might finally stick with the American public.

Even Barack Obama admitted that the “Russian hack” part of the concocted drama had a fatal flaw — exactly how did the material, allegedly purloined by the Russian GRU, get to WikiLeaks with Julian Assange confined to the Ecuadorian Embassy in London and under constant and intense surveillance? Julian Assange and former British Ambassador Craig Murray have insisted there was no Russian hack and the emails were leaked to WikiLeaks by individuals in Washington, D.C., with Murray serving as the courier. By his indictment of Stone, Mueller is hoping to throw up enough smoke around “lies” concerning links to Trump that the public will forget the fact that his story about the Russians makes absolutely no real sense. And, as this website and others have repeatedly shown, it is all part of the British campaign to force Trump’s impeachment at all costs and to mobilize U.S. citizens for war with Russia. Stone has been outspoken in pointing to the British as the actual foreign culpritstrying to shape the 2016 Presidential campaign to Hillary Clinton’s benefit, and the British have noticed.

Contrary to the nonsense people in Washington preach about Saint Mueller, he leaks like a sieve in order to create a popular and ugly perception of his targets with both the public and the grand jury ahead of any indictment. Thus, the news media had already reported, weeks and months ago, about what is in the indictment, even if the names are now belatedly disguised and redacted per Justice Department guidelines. The false statements allegedly made by Stone were made at the House Intelligence Committee; they concerned efforts by Credico and Corsi to find out what WikiLeaks had, at Stone’s alleged direction, and Stone’s emails about this process. The media is salivating over the citation in the indictment to the minimal involvement of Trump Campaign figure Steve Bannon in Stone’s efforts. Credico is close to William Kunstler’s former wife, Margaret Ratner Kunstler. William Kunstler, of course, is the famous New York City criminal defense attorney now deceased. According to the leaked news reports, Margaret Ratner Kunstler served as an attorney for Julian Assange. Credico, it’s claimed, got his information from Ratner Kunstler.

The media coverage of Stone’s arrest is noteworthy for its noxious perfidy. John Brennan, who headed Obama’s CIA, conducted a completely illegal investigation of candidate Trump, beginning in early Spring, 2016, using CIA headquarters and British and NATO “intelligence” leads, along with surveillance and attempted entrapments. Now employed to pontificate against Trump on MSNBC, Brennan opined that Stone’s arrest showed, once again, that “the walls are closing in.” He went further, predicting that Mueller was about to drop innumerable indictments showing a conspiracy between the Trump Campaign and Russia. This leads to the question which must be asked by any honest intelligence or law enforcement figure now: What, exactly is Brennan’s relationship to the Mueller investigation? Since it is actually Brennan who is guilty of criminal actions in 2016, if he is being given leads by Mueller’s minions, isn’t this the real coverup and actual obstruction?

Indicative of the outright insanity in certain Washington circles, while viewing the footage of armed to the teeth FBI agents running into Stone’s front yard and toward his front door, Senator Michael Bennett proclaimed the triumph of the “rule of law,” in his television appearance. Senator Chris Coons bloviated too, offering similar quisling formulations.
