Description

The archetype of the shadowy, Machiavellian political strategist is potent in the popular imagination, and no strategist has leaned into this potency harder than Roger Stone. We look back at one of Trumpworld's wackier characters by watching the Netflix documentary GET ME ROGER STONE (2017) and discuss how he is both a more and less significant figure than he seems. PLUS: Roger Stone's fashion blog!

Sun 27 Aug: Tore Says Presentation- The Stone - Danish Intelligence Posing As Documentarians.: The complicated figure of Roger Stone is combined with the political motives of a Danish film crew in this (audio only) version of their finished documentary. The anti Trump narrative is obvious, their links are to intel agencies, but the insights on Roger Stone are plentiful and worth it. He shows himself as a supreme player in the balancing act between lawfare and loyalty, and a master at navigating US political intrigue. He also knows the Danish docu is a hit job and openly mocks them. It's a good reminder of the pressures and narratives swirling during those hectic months.
