In October, several pro-government media outlets reported that Americans have finally \u201cconfirmed\u201d that a color revolution is taking place in Serbia. However, this did not come from the U.S. government or from Donald Trump, but it rather came from the claims of Roger Stone, a former Trump associate. In a blog post, he argues that globalists are fueling a color revolution in Serbia, portraying Vu\u010di\u0107 as the target. But who exactly is Roger Stone and why is he not a very reliable authority when it comes to presenting facts?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAmericans have confirmed it! A color revolution is underway in Serbia,\u201d the portal Alo<\/em><\/a> reported in the morning of October 28th, and the same claim quickly spread across several Serbian outlets, including Republika<\/em><\/a>, Informer<\/em><\/a>, Novosti<\/em> <\/a>and B92<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authorities and media aligned with them have been making unfounded claims for months that a color revolution is being carried out in Serbia, something Raskrikavanje<\/em> has written about multiple times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On that day, they said that Americans have confirmed it as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the headline in the tabloids made it seem as if the conclusion about an alleged \u201ccolor revolution in Serbia\u201d came officially from the U.S. government or from Donald Trump himself – that wasn\u2019t the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tabloids actually referred to an opinion piece<\/a> written by Roger Stone, a former Trump associate, who published claims about a color revolution in Serbia on his blog called Stone Cold Truth<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their true fashion, Serbian tabloids have presented his article and claims as if that were the official statement of the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what exactly did Stone claim? That \u201cglobalists are hoping to topple the pro-Trump government and replace it with a puppet one controlled by the European Union.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further argued that Vu\u010di\u0107 is the target of \u201ccoordinated protests designed to delegitimize his government.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also claimed that Vu\u010di\u0107 is \u201can important regional ally of Donald Trump\u201d who \u201cwants to preserve Serbia\u2019s traditional Christian roots while Europe sinks into secular globalism.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the disputed text, one of the alleged \u201cdrivers\u201d of the campaign against Vu\u010di\u0107 is the NGO CRTA<\/em>, which Stone accused of spreading stories about election fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In reality, CRTA <\/em>has been monitoring elections for years and documenting electoral irregularities, publishing its findings in publicly available reports. Neither domestic courts nor international organizations have ever questioned their conclusions. On the contrary, their work is regularly cited in reports on Serbia\u2019s progress toward EU integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The text does not shy away from racist and homophobic statements either. Stone wrote that Serbia is being \u201cattacked\u201d because it refuses to accept \u201cmigrant replacement policies and degenerate LGBT madness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince President Vu\u010di\u0107 has strongly opposed this scourge (\u2026) his administration and the people are paying the price,\u201d Stone claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He forgets, however, that one of Vu\u010di\u0107\u2019s closest associates – Speaker of the National Assembly, Ana Brnabi\u0107 is a member of the LGBT community herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is missing from the blog? Unsurprisingly, the fact that protests and blockades in Serbia, which have been ongoing for nearly a year, were initially triggered by the collapse of a train station\u2019s canopy in Novi Sad that killed 16 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But who is Roger Stone, and why can we say that he is very often at odds with the facts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all, because of his criminal convictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In January of 2019, acting on the orders of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, FBI agents raided Stone\u2019s home in Florida, where he was arrested, and an indictment was later filed against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As ABC News reported at the time<\/a>, Stone was charged with attempting to influence witnesses in the special counsel\u2019s investigation into possible Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. In addition, the indictment alleged that Stone had made false statements before the House Intelligence Committee about his contacts with Trump associates regarding WikiLeaks. Stone denied the charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February of 2020, Stone was found guilty<\/a> and convicted on all counts. He never served his prison sentence, however, because Donald Trump pardoned<\/a> him a few months later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His biography is, to say the least, controversial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the BBC, Roger Stone is a longtime political strategist and former ally of Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was part of Trump\u2019s team during the 2015 presidential campaign, but left the position in August of that year amid disagreements over the campaign\u2019s actions, which he announced on his X account<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His connection to Trump, however, goes back to the 1990s, when he worked as a lobbyist<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stone had previously worked as a strategist in the campaigns of Republican U.S. presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is also known for having a tattoo of Richard Nixon\u2019s face on his back. In 2016, Netflix released a documentary about his career titled \u201cGet Me Roger Stone.\u201d<\/em> The film\u2019s description states that Stone played a key role in helping Trump build his political career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As ABC News wrote<\/a>, Stone was the youngest person ever to testify before a U.S. Senate hearing in connection with the Watergate scandal, when it was revealed that individuals linked to President Richard Nixon had illegally wiretapped the offices of the Democratic Party. The scandal was uncovered by Washington Post<\/em> journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, who received the Pulitzer Prize for their reporting. Their investigation ultimately led to Nixon\u2019s resignation.
