Roger Stone Takes Gatling Gun To Steve Bannon, Says ‘Time Is Up’

Political strategist and Trump advisor of decades, Roger Stone, penned a scorching indictment against Steve Bannon in the Daily Caller after weeks of talking massive shit over Twitter

While Stone was very diplomatic – complimenting Bannon and even saying “I rather like Bannon who has his roguish charm,” the crux of his article is perhaps put best by a quote from 10-day White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci, who said “I’m not trying to build my own brand off the fucking strength of the president. I’m here to serve the country. I’m not Steve Bannon trying to suck my own cock.”

In Stone’s words, “Self-promotion and ham-handed leaking have hurt Steve badly in the Trump orbit,” adding “I have concluded he is a spent force, never being willing to spend his political capital to help his friends and in some cases helping empower the very Globalists he claims to oppose.”

It is more in sadness than in anger that I conclude that Steve Bannon has failed to look out for the Trump constituency, while establishment “never Trumpers ” line up for cushy jobs and prestigious ambassadorships. Not understanding that “personnel is policy”, Bannon refused to fight for any of his allies or those who helped get Trump elected. It’s as if Steve felt the grubby business of patronage was below him.

Self Promotion

Stone says “The President is very angry about Bannon’s vanity biography “Devil’s Bargain”, the subtitle of which is “Steve Bannon, Donald Trump and The Storming of the Presidency.” Every other page is a love letter to the brilliance of Steven K. Bannon.”

Two faced? 

On the topic of Reince Priebus, Stone said that while publicly bitching about the former White House Chief of Staff, he privately worked with the former RNC Chairman – “including an embarrassing “Abbott and Costello” act at CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference held yearly outside of Washington in which Bannon covered Priebus’ ass and they lavished each other with wet kisses.”

Holdover city

Stone also points out that Bannon “engineered” Rex Tillerson taking the role as Secretary of State, ‘despite the fact that Tillerson’s patron and chief influence is non-other than Condoleeza Rice, the neocon former Bush NSA Director and cheerleader for the Iraq war.’ This, according to Stone, may have been why the Trump State Dept. is filled with ‘Veteran Romney-ites,’ and has failed to ‘excise the Soros control over a number of U.S. embassies,’ adding ‘Bannon delivered the Trump State Department into the hands of the Globalists.” 

Furthermore, Stone said that Bannon never opposed Jared Kushner, Trump’s liberal son-in-law whose lawyer Jamie Gorelick is a deep state Democrat operative of several decades, serving as Bill Clinton’s deputy Attorney General.

@StevenKBannon Resign Now! You refuse to confront @jaredkushner – u are part of the problem not part of the solution

— Roger Stone (@RogerJStoneJr) May 5, 2017

Stone goes on to list several more grievances with Bannon, including:

• Failure to advise Trump that he can use FISA court certification to prove that Obama’s NSA “actively, illegally and unconstitutionally spied at least on 30,000 Americans for purposes of political espionage.”
• Insulated Trump from defending Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio during his trial in which the Obama administration had illegally monitored the Sheriff’s communications. Trump only learned about Arpaio’s conviction, and according to Stone, “All of Arpaio’s phone calls to Bannon to protest his treatment by the Trump Justice Department went unanswered.“
• Bannon hasn’t advised Trump to drop the ‘outrageous’ investigation and potential prosecution of Julian Assange by CIA Director Mike Mompeo, as well as a secret Grand Jury convened to fabricate a criminal charge in the United States. (however Rep Dana Roherbacher’s recent trip to visit Assange in the London Embassy to cut a deal suggests that may change)
• Bannon hasn’t advocated for the Bundys – ranchers who have ‘languished in a squalid Nevada jail for 18 months’ and denied pre-trial release in their case over a swat standoff over nonpayment to the BLM for grazing their cattle without a permit.
• “Bannon helped the Generals oust Anthony Scaramucci. Someone told the President “the Mooch” had drug issues, ignoring that Scaramucci had to pass two drug tests to work in the White House. Then he was out!”

In closing, Stone says that General Kelly ‘thinks Bannon’s ideas are naive and too ‘far-out,’ and blames Bannon for the recent Breitbart attacks on McMaster. Now it’s Bannon the Generals want out.’ adding ‘There is no reason for conservatives to be upset about the coming purge of Steve Bannon. He did a lot to help himself but not much to help us.’

Since Bannon is a credit-hogging bumbler, who cares? https://t.co/NLTF5Xj9JL

A defiant Missouri State Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal has called herself a patriot after receiving backlash over her call over Facebook to assassinate President Trump.

The Alt-left Senator then went on to call herself a patriot.

“As a patriot, as someone who has had family members who have been in this military, including my grandfather who served in the Korean War and the Vietnam War, and I’m one of only a few who are not in the military today, I’m looking at this president and what he is saying and his rhetoric and he is causing mass chaos.”

Chappelle-Nadal’s resignation has been called for by several state and Federal congress members, however in a later interview, she doubled down:

“I didn’t mean what I put up. Absolutely not. I was very frustrated. Things have got to change,” Chappelle-Nadal told the Post-Dispatch. “It was in response to the concerns that I am hearing from residents of St. Louis. I have deleted it, and it should have been deleted, but there is something way more important that we should be talking about.”

She added later: “I am not resigning … What I said was wrong, but I am not going to stop talking about what led to that, which is the frustration and anger that many people across America are feeling right now.”

Chappelle-Nadal joins a growing list of Trump assassination porn: 

Between Kathy Griffin’s ‘Trump beheading‘ stunt and the NYC Public Theater’s assassination-porn take on Caesar, Chappelle-Nadal is the latest in a series of influential liberals getting off on Trump’s death.

Here’s Rick Ross, whose ankle bracelet went off while hanging out with President Obama at the White House, mouthing “Assassinate Trump like I’m Zimmerman”

Apparently the “Kill Trump” wing of the tolerant left includes Facebook. Here they are (several months ago) letting a user know that an “Assassinate Donald Trump” hate group is A-OK.

Meanwhile

A California conservative was thrown in a halfway house for 60 days right before the 2008 election when he posted (regarding Obama) “he will have a .50 cal in the head soon” on a Yahoo message board.

Note: This article originally contained an incorrect photograph of Dr. Ali al-Attar, which has been removed. 

Former long-time IT aide to Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Imran Awan, who was arrested last month by the FBI at Dulles airpirt, has been indicted by a grand jury on four counts along with his wife Hina Alvi, on allegations that the pair made false statements on loan applications before wiring nearly $300,000 to Pakistan.

The Daily Caller notes:

“Defendants AWAN and ALVI did unlawfully, willfully, and knowingly conspire, combine, confederate, and agree with each other to commit offenses against the United States,” including bank fraud, false statements, and unlawful monetary transactions, the indictment said.

An arraignment date has not yet been set, and a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia did not immediately respond to The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group’s question about when Hina Alvi would become a fugitive if she does not return to the U.S. voluntarily, or whether officials would seek to extradite her from Pakistan.

In addition to lying on multiple mortgage disclosures, as an affidavit alleged at the time of Imran’s arrest, the indictment claims Hina lied by claiming medical hardship in order to withdraw hundreds of thousands of dollars from a retirement program.

I wonder if they’ll flip on Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the rest of the gang??

Let’s run down the list of interesting things we know about the Awans

• The Awans were “shared employees,” hired by multiple Democrats for IT work whenever it was needed – floating all over the place doing all sorts of work on House members computers. Democrats Juaquin Castro, Cedric Richmond, Andre Carson, Jackie Speier, Tammy Duckworth, and Louis Frankel all employed the Awans.
• According to Judge Andrew Napolitano, the Awans had access to the email of every member of the House, and SOLD INFORMATION. 

• Reportedly stole over $100,000 in computer equipment from House members… months later, smashed computer equipment was seized by the FBI from the garage of a house the Awans owned and rented out. 

Shortly after the criminal probe was revealed in February, Imran abruptly moved out of his longtime home on Hawkshead Drive in Lorton, Va., and listed it for rent on a website that connects landlords with military families.

The new tenants were none other than a retired Marine and his active duty Navy wife. In the garage, they found “wireless routers, hard drives that look like they tried to destroy, laptops, [and] a lot of brand new expensive toner.”

• Imprisoned their stepmother, spied on her with electronic devices, and denied her the right to see her dying husband – then carted her to Pakistan to collect her inheritance, which they proceeded to extort. 

THREE DAYS before U.S. Capitol Police told House members about the Awans, their stempmother called Fairfax County, Virginia police report she was imprisoned in their house – kept from her husband’s deathbed. Oh, and they were bugging her with listening devices.

A relative described the woman’s life as being completely controlled by the brothers for months while they schemed to take their father’s life insurance. –Daily Caller

After their father died, the Awans carted their stepmother to Pakistan to collect.

• DWS Threatened the Chief of DC Capitol Police over a laptop used by the Awans and found in a corner of the House building.

• Shady Loan From Iraqi DoctorIn February, the Daily Caller delivered two bombshells: that the Awans were under criminal investigation after being caught accessing congressional computers without permission, and they had borrowed, laundered, and never repaid $100,000 from a super shady Iraqi expat physician – Dr. Ali al-Attar, a Hezbollah-linked fugitive who led a group of other expats which regularly advised the Bush administration on their plans to invade Iraq in 2002-2003 (source <– read up on this guy). 
  

  Philip Giraldi, a former CIA officer, wrote that Attar “was observed in Beirut, Lebanon conversing with a Hezbollah official” in 2012–shortly after the loan was made. –DC

  al-Attar’s license to practice medicine was revoked by the Maryland State Board of Physicians and he had to pay a $50,000 fine for unprofessional conduct, healthcare fraud, and failure to cooperate with an investigation.

  

   

• Ran a shady car dealership Called Cars International A, LLC (CIA) whose debts a Democrat Rep paid

In addition to nosing around highly sensitive data in Congress, the Awans ran a shady car dealership that wasn’t paying it’s bills. After one of their vendors threatened to sue them, Rep. Theodore Deutch started paying the guy.

The brothers had numerous additional sources of income, all of which seemed to disappear. While they were supposedly working for the House, the brothers were running a car dealership full-time that didn’t pay its vendors, and after one — Rao Abbas — threatened to sue them, he began receiving a paycheck from Rep. Theodore Deutch (D-FL), who like Wasserman Schultz represents Florida.

• Subscribed to pedo-centric YouTube channel featured on Tosh.0

Imran Awan, (whose lawyer oddly mentioned ‘pizzagate‘ in a post-arrest statement), subscribed to YouTube channel “Seven Super Girls” – which has over 12 billion views, and features children performing in sexualized ‘bits.’

Google has removed the GAB app from it’s Play Store, citing ‘hate speech,’ as seen in a tweet by Gab CEO Andrew Torba earlier today:

Torba then shot off another tweet and filmed a Periscope video to discuss, telling viewers that after Gab raised over one million dollars from ‘every day people’ who are “sick and tired of the bias and double standards in silicon valley.

“This is just another great example of the ideological echo chamber in Silicon Valley. You see all these companies one after another coming out with the same exact message, same exact stance. There’s nobody saying ‘no, we stand for free speech. We hate some of the vile things that are said.’ Either you support free speech or you do not. Period.”

1 million dollars raised by THE PEOPLE to make speech free again and say FUCK YOU Silicon Valley elitist trash. Thank you all!!!!!!!!

— Gab (@getongab) August 17, 2017

Torba also points how that Gab has been banned by Apple since late 2016.

Free speech at all costs

Set up as a free speech alternative to Twitter, Gab’s unofficial motto of “free speech at all costs” may have cost them their spot in the Google Play store, after the founder of the recently banned Daily Stormer website recommended Gab “100%.”

Via Mashable

Gab’s success comes after tech giants including Google and Facebook, which in the past had been shy about policing hate speech, began to forbid white supremacists from using their services in the wake of the violent events in Charlottesville, Virginia last weekend.

Even Cloudflare, a hosting company that had to take a public stance in favor of free speech even if it meant its services were open to extreme views, stopped working with the Daily Stormer, a white supremacist website.

After that, Daily Stormer founder Andrew Anglin said—on Gab—that he was “Gab 100%.”

Tech’s growing comfort with cracking down on hate speech, Torba said, is a “slippery slope.” He spoke passionately against censorship when asked about his reaction to Spotify and other music-streaming services pulling music by white supremacist bands.

As a solution, Gab is releasing the next version of their app directly.

Seriously

For the safety of ‘Zoltan’ and his fellow ‘comrade’ featured on their Facebook page – this ‘firearms handling video’ is pure satire in the same vein as the amazing ‘BG Kumbi,’ who trolled his way onto Fox News and other outlets as an angry member of Antifa. Kumbi is a god-tier troll, who with a straight face told Fox News host Jesse Watters that a police horse deserved to be stabbed in the neck because it was racist… (3:10) He just freestyled the whole act and killed it.

Maybe there’s a shimmer of hope for the next generation after all…

On the other hand, this is NOT Satire… 

The Daily Caller reports that California Rep. Dana Rohrabacher flew to London and met with Julian Assange yesterday to discuss leaving the Ecuadorian Embassy he’s been living in since June 19, 2012.

Charles Johnson, a conservative journalist, told TheDC that he arranged the meeting for Assange because the WikiLeaks chief wants to strike a deal with the U.S. so he can stop living in asylum.

Rohrabacher’s spokesman Ken Grubbs told TheDC, “I can confirm that the meeting happened” and said that Johnson was in the meeting.

Johnson said that he arranged for the meeting to happen and that Rohrabacher would be the envoy in charge of bringing back a deal to the Trump White House. Assange has taken asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy since August 2012 after facing sexual assault charges in Sweden.

CNN reported in April that the Justice Department wants to press charges against Assange for helping Edward Snowden, a former NSA analyst, release thousands of classified documents.

As far as I’m concerned this should have been done on January 21. Does anyone think Trump would have made it to the White House without Assange?

Steve Bannon has been taking a lot of heat lately from all sides, and recent reports have been rolling out suggesting he’s on his last legs. Combine that with Trump’s tepid defense of Bannon at his Tuesday press conference, and one might think it’s curtains for Steve.

Au Contraire?

Bannon went to great lengths to speak with The American Prospect’s (very liberal) Robert Kuttner – covering a spectrum of topics ranging from China, to North Korea to White House infighting, to white nationalism and the events in Charlottesville last weekend.

On North Korea, Bannon said there is no military solution, ‘they got us.’ 

“There’s no military solution [to North Korea’s nuclear threats], forget it. Until somebody solves the part of the equation that shows me that ten million people in Seoul don’t die in the first 30 minutes from conventional weapons, I don’t know what you’re talking about, there’s no military solution here, they got us.”

Bannon’s dire warning on China

“We’re at economic war with China,” he added. “It’s in all their literature. They’re not shy about saying what they’re doing. One of us is going to be a hegemon in 25 or 30 years and it’s gonna be them if we go down this path. On Korea, they’re just tapping us along. It’s just a sideshow.”

Given that China is not likely to do much more on North Korea, and that the logic of mutually assured destruction was its own source of restraint, Bannon saw no reason not to proceed with tough trade sanctions against China.

Knives out in D.C.

Discussing his internal adversaries at the departments of State and Defense who think they can enlist China to help with the situation in North Korea, Bannon said his enemies are in bad shape.

“Oh, they’re wetting themselves,” he said, explaining that the Section 301 complaint, which was put on hold when the war of threats with North Korea broke out, was shelved only temporarily, and will be revived in three weeks. As for other cabinet departments, Bannon has big plans to marginalize their influence.

“I’m changing out people at East Asian Defense; I’m getting hawks in. I’m getting Susan Thornton [acting head of East Asian and Pacific Affairs] out at State.”

“That’s a fight I fight every day here,” he said. “We’re still fighting. There’s Treasury and [National Economic Council chair] Gary Cohn and Goldman Sachs lobbying.”

Economic vs White Nationalism

Statements issued by Virginia State police in the aftermath of last weekend’s violence in Charlottesville, VA directly contradict inflammatory claims made by Gov. Terry McAuliffe that white supremacist groups stashed weapons around town in advance of the “Unite the Right” rally against the removal of confederate statues.

In an interview with Black Lives Matter activist Deray Mckesson, McAuliffe says “they had better armor than my state police and national guard had,” later adding “they had battering rams and we had picked up different weapons that they had stashed around the city.”

McAuliffe was also ‘proud’ that ‘nobody [was] hurt… except for those people that were hit by the car.’

That wasn’t true Terry, was it?

Via Reason.com

“The governor was referring to the briefing provided him in advance of Saturday’s rally and the extra security measures being taken by local and state police,” Geller tells Reason. “As a safety precaution in advance of August 12, such searches were conducted in and around Emancipation and McIntire Parks. No weapons were located as a result of those searches.”

The Virginia State Police also disputed McAuliffe’s claims that Virginia State Police were underequipped to deal with the heavily armed militia members at Saturday’s rally.

“The governor was referencing the weapons and tactical gear the members of various groups attending the rally had on their persons,” Geller says. “I can assure you that the Virginia State Police personnel were equipped with more-than-adequate specialized tactical and protective gear for the purpose of fulfilling their duties to serve and protect those in attendance of the August 12 event in Charlottesville.“

McAuliffe claimed in an interview with The New York Times that law enforcement arrived to find a line of militia members who “had better equipment than our State Police had.” In longer comments that were later edited out of the Times‘ story, McAuliffe said that up to 80 percent of the rally attendees were carrying semi-automatic weapons. “You saw the militia walking down the street, you would have thought they were an army,” he said.

Everyone I don’t like is a Nazi! 

Neo-Nazis and white nationalists of the Richard Spencer and seeming chameleon Jason Kessler variety serve no other purpose in the national dialogue but to fuel conditions leading up to civil war. There are between 5,000 – 8,000 members of the KKK in America – just .003% of America, who don’t speak for conservatives – much in the same way that militantly liberal terrorist group The New Black Panthers don’t speak for the left.

Yet, not only are events in Charlottesville being used to smear and conflate conservatives with neo-nazis, Governor McAuliffe is lying about the incident – suggesting the white supremacists were far more violent, organized and militant than they actually are.

It’s all part of the show…

Make no mistake, McAuliffe’s lies have everything to do with the purple revolution and the summer of rage… It’s #ManufacturedChaos. Keep an eye out for more white supremacist groups to crop up over the next few weeks, along with a well organized Antifa response – and of course, a neutered police presence who have been told to stand down.

The Fed also discussed surprisingly low inflation, with a few officials noting that they could take their time before hiking rates again.

Via Marketwatch:

The latest drama has sparked nervousness over the possible derailment of Trump’s economic agenda, including tax and regulatory reforms, said Kent Engelke, chief economic strategist at Capitol Securities Management.

Still, recent trading has had an upward bias, even given an uncertain geopolitical environment that pressured stocks last week. The Dow has risen in 13 of the past 16 sessions, excluding Wednesday, and major indexes are within striking distance of record levels.

Even news that housing starts fell 5.6% in July isn’t dragging on the market as the weak number is a result of tight supply rather than weak demand, according to Engelke.

In what appears to be the first sign of discord in Robert Mueller’s FBI Special Counsel probe into Russian meddling in last year’s election, veteran FBI section chief Peter Strzok has left the probe just weeks after joining.

Strzok is a heavy hitter – having spearheaded the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, interviewing the presidential candidate last July. Of note, Strzok appears to have been one of the few investigators involved with the probe who isn’t a Hillary or Obama supporting Democrat.

ABC reports:

The recent departure of FBI veteran Peter Strzok is the first known hitch in a secretive probe that by all public accounts is charging full-steam ahead. Just last week, news surfaced that Mueller’s team had executed a search warrant at the Virginia home of Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort. And the week before that ABC News confirmed Mueller is now using a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., to collect documents and other evidence.
