Roger Stone asked for donations to the Stop the Steal Security Project

Days after his pardon, conservative operative Roger Stone began pleading for donations for the Stop the Steal Security Project at his Parler account. It's unknown how much he might have collected or how it may have been dispersed. While Stone called for a peaceful protest, many Parler members talked about bringing weapons and committing violence.

Stone claimed that security was necessary, because four "Trump supporters" were stabbed at an earlier DC event, but doesn't mention that they were affiliated with the Proud Boys.

On December 30, 2020, Stone posted a video (that can still be viewed at this cache link) asking for help to pay professional security.

"This is Roger Stone," he said on the video. "On January 6th, I'll be speaking to the Stop the Steal peaceful protest in Washington, DC. We're going to be protesting the heist of the 2020 election. I look forward to seeing you there."

Stone continued, "But if you can't attend, we still need your help. You see, I'm concerned about the safety and the security of our supporters, of those who will be marching with us. After the last Washington DC event, four Trump supporters were stabbed by leftists. That's because we cannot afford all the professional accoutrements of an event. This is a pop-up grassroots event for which we need professional security."

"We don't have a wealthy donor like George Soros waiting in the wings to write a check to subsidize our political activism," Stone said. "We can only count on people like you. So to help us have a peaceful event, to help us have the impact we want to change history and to stand up for the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln, please go to stopthesteal.org. That's stopthesteal.org and help us pay for the staging, the transportation - and most importantly - the security of our peaceful protesters. Thank you, and God bless you, I'll see you in Washington, January 6th."

While Stone had previously used the stopthesteal.org domain to redirect to his Stone Cold Truth website, he redirected it to his DonorBox pledge page (cache link).

Stone wrote, "On January 5th and 6th, one of the largest peaceful protests in American history will take place in Washington D.C. when as many as one million Americans will descend on our Nation’s capital to protest the theft of the 2020 Presidential election through systematic voter fraud and cyber manipulation of the vote."

Stone continued, "Because the corporately owned mainstream media pushes the false narrative that the President’s support in the country for an honest selection result is dwindling, it has been vitally important to mobilize thousands of Americans across the country at events organized to demonstrate that not only are we still the majority but that President Trump won a majority of the legal votes cast. It is vitally important that those who refuse to accept the theft of this election promote and participate in peaceful protests across the country every Saturday to refute the media myth that the President’s support is dwindling - particularly the massive peaceful protests planned for Washington DC on January 5th and 6th."

"The unprecedented media blockade, which includes every major social media platform, is being used to make Biden’s “victory” look legitimate and legal," Stone wrote. "That’s why we need you to come to Washington DC if you are able to, or support our effort to have a large, effective, safe, and record-breaking peaceful protests on January 5th and 6th."

Stone continued, "Because ours is a grassroots pop-up movement, we are underfunded. I am deeply concerned about the safety and the security of the Americans who will be joining us for the historic events of January 5th and 6th. In numbers, there is strength. While we are very proud of our first protests across the country on November 14, many of our peaceful protesters in Washington D.C. were victims of violent attacks perpetrated by thugs from ANTIFA and BLM."

"We now recognize our immediate need for a reasonable level of private security at every one of our events, as well as funds for permits, staging, transportation, and legal fees," Stone added."George Soros provides the funding for the attacks on our peaceful patriots. We must defend them. Please send your contribution to the Stop The Steal Security Project at StopTheSteal.org today. Time is short and arrangements for private security for this historic event must be made in the next two days. We will not be silenced. We will not quit. With your help, we will mount a peaceful, safe public protest in our Nation’s capital which has the potential to change the direction of history. Please support the #StopTheSteal movement today by going to StopTheSteal.org and sending your maximum possible contribution. God bless you and God bless President Donald J. Trump."

Stone asked for contributions from $25 to $2500 or a custom amount.

At Parler, Sacandagajan responded to Stone, "We'll be packing." Then Puckett_D said, "Yes, we will. We've had enough if Antifa and BLM."

"Take a cheap one you don’t mind being without," bluestraveler56 warned. "Might have to throw it a long ways. DC police arrest patriots and not antifa or blm. Just saying!"

Referring to the DC police, Sacandagajan replied, "Then they are at risk! They stand with us or ......"

When another Parler commenter recommended carying cans of hornet spray that can shoot thirty feet, two others talked about how they could be used as flammable weapons.

In that same thread, someone suggested that someone should assassinate Governor Cuomo.

In response to another Stone post on Parler, Playerunknown2U replied, "Patriots from across the country are coming armed to the teeth think security probably not an issue this time antifa be warned."

On January 2nd, Stone wrote on Parler (archive link), "I have owned the domain StopTheSteal.org since 2016 After 4 Trump supporters were stabbed and 86 other Trump supporters were badly injured in violent attacks by leftists we became reactivated to work specifically to maintain the safety and Security of the millions of Americans coming to our nations capital January 5 and 6. Ours is a pop-up minimalist peaceful protest. We use an aluminum ladder for a podium and carry a portable public address system. We have no funding for any kind of security for the event or the security and transportation of our speakers our organizers. We work in total coordination with StopTheSteal US as well as a coalition of others. Help if u can."

Someone named Artcenterofcrisfield responded in that thread, "And be prepared to storm the barricades."

"If you see crooked oathbreaker cops breaking the law it’s up to us to stop them at that point," PoliticallyIncorrectUSA wrote.

On January 2nd, in another Parler post, he made another plea for donations: "Roger Stone is headed to Washington for the historic January 5th & 6th peaceful protests against the heist of the 2020 election but he says he is deeply concerned about the safety & security of the many Americans who are coming to our nation's capital for these vital events. After the last record-breaking DC #StopTheSteal peaceful protest, four Trump supporters were stabbed by leftists & 82 others were badly injured. If you cannot go to Washington but want to help this vital mission, please help us pay for the professional security for our minimalist pop-up event to support the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln & to demand an honest, fair & transparent count of the 2020 election. GO TO StopTheSteal dot org NOW."

QanonPizzagatewski replied, "Well don't worry Roger most of us will be fully armed."

"I'm in Washington state I wish I could find a ride to Washington DC!" Johnpirate5 wrote. "Oh would I love to be there! with a baseball bat duct tape to each hand! Get me a little bit of antifa and BLM."

SandraAnnPatriot wrote, "Patriots need to arm up!" Jspeedy agreed, adding, "It's that time. Semper fi."
