Donald Trump’s Campaign Manager Worked for Warlords, Arms-Dealers and Dictators

[SecularMotion]

Even the most brutal dictators and the bloodiest warlords could benefit from having a friendly public-relations operative in Washington. Access to high-ranking officials goes a long way in the nation’s capital. There’s always somebody willing to take on the vilest of clients — and one of those somebodies is Paul Manafort, Donald Trump’s new campaign manager.

Manafort has worked on behalf of an Angolan warlord, a Lebanese arms-dealer, the Pakistani spy agency that went on to create the Taliban, the Putin-aligned president of Ukraine and a who’s-who of 1980s dictators. He helped enrich clients who left trails of death and destruction in their wakes.

To be clear, Manafort also has extensive experience working as a political operative in the United States as far back as 1976. He worked for the presidential campaigns of Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Robert Dole, and George W. Bush. His record suggests he’s pretty good at his job.

Manafort got his start delegate-wrangling for Gerald Ford in the 1976 Republican convention, where he demonstrated precocious political talents. Tutored by Bush-consigliere James Baker, he went on to manage Reagan’s campaigns in 1980 and 1984.

1. Important read & pass on to others

With all of his remarks and sociopathic behavior, Trump is coming off as if he were a buffoon. However, look not only at Trump but the people around him who are ready to benefit from a Trump campaign/presidency. People such as the above, Pence, spokespeople, etc. These people are serious, ain't messing around and are a direct threat to a sane, civil country.

This ain't funny.

Also, how "interesting" the direct connection between Manafort and the establishment Republican Party - Reagan, Bushs, Baker, etc., etc.

But Manafort is a key to a whole lot of what is going on and has gone on with regard to the danger of authoritarian threats to democracy in American politics.
