Why I, An FDR Democrat, Stand With Roger Stone on Trump

19 November 2024, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)

The two greatest-ever American Presidents, in the view of most historians including myself, are Abraham Lincoln, who passionately wanted to free the slaves, and who said that whereas capitalists tend to believe that they are superior to their workers, the workers are superior to the capitalists; and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who said that the “economic royalists” endanger democracy, and that both World Wars resulted from imperialism, all of which must be ended by the United Nations that he designed and that his successor Harry Truman neutered so as to create the world’s first-ever all-encompassing empire. Both of the two greatest Presidents became succeeded by aristocracy-controlled monsters who reversed their major policies. So: the Republican Party after Lincoln and the Democratic Party after Truman have been and are controlled only by America’s very richest.

Here is the briefest expression that Lincoln provided of his ethical-moral priorities, and they reflect the wisdom, profundity, compassion, and analytical brilliance, of one of the greatest national leaders of all time:

It is not needed nor fitting here that a general argument should be made in favor of popular institutions, but there is one point, with its connections, not so hackneyed as most others, to which I ask a brief attention. It is the effort to place capital on an equal footing with, if not above, labor in the structure of government. It is assumed that labor is available only in connection with capital; that nobody labors unless somebody else, owning capital, somehow by the use of it induces him to labor. This assumed, it is next considered whether it is best that capital shall hire laborers, and thus induce them to work by their own consent, or buy them and drive them to it without their consent. Having proceeded so far, it is naturally concluded that all laborers are either hired laborers or what we call slaves. And further, it is assumed that whoever is once a hired laborer is fixed in that condition for life.

Now there is no such relation between capital and labor as assumed, nor is there any such thing as a free man being fixed for life in the condition of a hired laborer. Both these assumptions are false, and all inferences from them are groundless.

Labor is prior to and independent of capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. Capital has its rights, which are as worthy of protection as any other rights. Nor is it denied that there is, and probably always will be, a relation between labor and capital producing mutual benefits. The error is in assuming that the whole labor of community exists within that relation. A few men own capital, and that few avoid labor themselves, and with their capital hire or buy another few to labor for them. A large majority belong to neither class--neither work for others nor have others working for them.

FDR’s wisdom, profundity, compassion, and analytical brilliance, similarly place him as one of the greatest national leaders of all time, but were so multifarious that I shall here only link to a fair example of his private thoughts about the issue that ultimately loomed the largest in his entire outlook, namely his determination to terminate after WW2 every and all imperialism and to establish a United Nations (he named it as-such) to replace all of it. (Tragically, Truman prevented that, so we have Truman’s world instead of the one that FDR had so painstakingly planned.) Political ‘scientists’ overwhelmingly deny that this is so, because they are hired by entities which support instead of oppose imperialism, but FDR had what is by now empirically well established to have been the correct understanding in political science, just as FDR did in economics and jurisprudence — he was an intellectual titan. (My book AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL documents this.)

Now, I am not saying that Trump in his second term will be in competition with those two giants, but he is displaying admirable courage by challenging America’s historic turn into imperialism that was created by Truman and extended by Truman’s personal hero Eisenhower and almost every U.S. President since (including Trump himself in his first term). (And I do worry about whether Trump’s neoconservatism in the Middle East will continue — as Biden did continue instead of end it.)

When Roger Stone was advocating for President Nixon, I thought ill of both, but subsequently Stone has considerably changed, and in his latest video he presents very effectively himself and Michael Flynn arguing in favor of Trump’s national-security appointments:

“Are We Heading For World War III? General Michael Flynn Joins The StoneZONE with Roger Stone”

Gen. Flynn joins Roger Stone to analyze the decision by the Biden Administration to authorize Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied long-range NATO missiles to strike targets deep inside Russia.

ROGER STONE, NOV 19, 2024

I add to that:

By authorizing long range missiles to strike inside Russia, Biden is committing  an unconstitutional Act of War that endangers the lives of all U.S. citizens. This is an impeachable offense, but the reality is he’s an emasculated puppet of a deep state.

However, I don’t trust him to mean it, unless and until he will lead a movement in the U.S. Congress to rush through and to pass first an impeachment of this piece of filth in the White House, and then to remove it from office. Let Kamala Harris in, so that we can find out whether she really is as bad as Biden is — and then impeach her if she tries to do the same thing and charge her with treason if she will try to bring this country to WW3 without a Congressional declaration of war.

PS: If you like this article, please email it to all your friends or otherwise let others know about it. None of the U.S.-and-allied ‘news’-media will likely publish it (nor link to it, since doing that might also hurt them with Google or etc.). I am not asking for money, but I am asking my readers to spread my articles far and wide, because I specialize in documenting what the Deep State is constantly hiding. This is, in fact, today’s samizdat.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
