Members Khan Posted May 5, 2018 Members Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) In a way, Stormy's character and life story is straight outta Sidney Sheldon: the ruthless adult film star who claws her way to the top of her tawdry profession...and the equally ruthless "business mogul" and world leader who stands to lose it all, thanks to the dark secret they share, and her take-no-prisoners determination to beat him at his own game. If this were 1985, Cheryl Ladd and George Peppard would be locks for the miniseries. I still won't commit totally to the hypothesis that Stormygate will be his undoing, just because I've learned to expect the unexpected, ESPECIALLY where he is concerned. But I'll always note the irony in this -- a very simple story, about a very simple-minded man, who cheated on his wife, paid to keep it quiet, and now has to pay the consequences -- always threatening to steal away the spotlight from a Sonni/Solita-like mess of a tale involving foreign governments, cyber-espionage, mass public hysteria ("BUT HER EMAILS!!") and general corruption and law-breaking at all the highest levels.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 6, 2018 Members Share Posted May 6, 2018 Is this the same firm that Harvey Weinstein used to target his victims? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 6, 2018 Members Share Posted May 6, 2018 I believe so. The name was carefully omitted because Black Cube(?) is probably very litigious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 6, 2018 Members Share Posted May 6, 2018 I read that NYT article on Cohen. He is definitely Mob-adjacent. The depth and breadth of his connections to the Italian and Russian mobs is astounding. I have a feeling that if Mueller's team does a deep dive into those LLCs, they may uncover a whole lot of signs of money laundering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted May 6, 2018 Members Share Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) This is like what happens when you have a HW like Doug Marland die or quit the show, leaving behind all these loose story threads that may or may not connect in some way, and will take at least the next several HW'ing regimes to figure out... ...ish.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted May 7, 2018 Members Share Posted May 7, 2018 Sounds like a confirmation of what I suspected. I was just going to post the above New York Article via this tweet: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted May 7, 2018 Members Share Posted May 7, 2018 I know the Guardian has a piece on this a couple of days back. And kudos to them. Farrow is becoming quite the journalist. I am guessing it's some of the same sources he used for this, but IMO he's sitting on a gold mine. This is dirty and traitorous. No Israel is not part of the US but they might as well be the way that we pander to them. I think many of us will always have empathy for Israel. The rest of the middle east doesn't want them there or on the planet, and defending oneself is critical. But they have truly become a brutal regime, and have turned into an apartheid state. Netanyahu has been the worst thing to happen to them and us. He was the one who fed Cheney the "intelligence"(I'll call it idea) to make up the WMD story about Iraq. Now Israel is using that blueprint with Iran. Iran ain't Israel and our allies who were with us on Iraq, are not there with Iran. I want to know why the media and press bend over for Israel and Saudi Arabia. Well I know. They are bought and paid for by large corporations. Thank goodness for independent journalism. NBC is looking dumber and dumber for blocking Farrow's work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted May 7, 2018 Members Share Posted May 7, 2018 This is an interesting article. Even if we rid ourselves of Trump, parts of the world are going to be worse off long after. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
