THE NETWORK — American Monsters: And Then There Were 12
A series about US criminals accelerating global fascism
***The American Monster series is for paid members, but in light of the media’s neglect in focusing on Trump and not the network, I am unlocking for all subscribers for 24 hours. If you appreciate the work, please support by taking out a membership.***
Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, Roy Cohn, Donald Trump, Steven Bannon, Rudy Giuliani, Robert Mercer, Mike Flynn, Elon Musk, Erik Prince, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson…
Monsters are less scary in daylight. Why I do this… to expose and defang them.
It is a dereliction of media duty to focus on the frontman Trump, and not on the network behind him. This is not politics, it’s war on our country.
Just like Trump was the shiny prop to dupe people into ponzi schemes, he’s now the prop for the transnational organized crime network to infiltrate and destroy American democracy. Here are the first 12 reports in my American Monster series about US criminals accelerating global fascism.
And then there were 12…
No. 1 — Paul Manafort
No. 2 — Roger Stone
No. 3 — Roy Cohn
No. 4 — Donald Trump
No. 5 — Steve Bannon
No. 6 — Mike Flynn
No. 7 — Rudy Giuliani
No. 8 — Robert Mercer
No. 9 — Elon Musk
No. 10 — Erik Prince
No. 11 — Alex Jones
No. 12 — Tucker Carlson
