8. Bannon Is A Legitimately Sinister Figure. Many former employees of Breitbart News are afraid of Steve Bannon. He is a vindictive, nasty figure, infamous for verbally abusing supposed friends and threatening enemies. Bannon is a smarter version of Trump: he’s an aggressive self-promoter who name-drops to heighten his profile and woo bigger names, and then uses those bigger names as stepping stools to his next destination. Trump may be his final destination. Or it may not. He will attempt to ruin anyone who impedes his unending ambition, and he will use anyone bigger than he is – for example, Donald Trump – to get where he wants to go. Bannon knows that in the game of thrones, you win or die. And he certainly doesn’t intend to die. He’ll kill everyone else before he goes.

Bannon’s ascension is the predictable consummation of a romance he ardently pursued. I joked with friends months ago that by the end of the campaign, Steve Bannon would be running Trump’s campaign from a bunker. That’s now reality. Every nightmare for actual conservatives has come true in this campaign. Why not this one, too?

5. 29th rec!

Wow, eh?

Anyone with an expired passport, I'd recommend they get it renewed. Just in case.

6. Bannon is opening Breitbarts across Europe. This is a coordinated, worldwide effort

to use Far Right, White Supremacy as a goad towards totalitarianism... with the Far Right working closely with Putin and Russia.

France is coming up soon and Germany is then next.

11. I think you're right about that.

I read something, way back when the internet was so new and all, about a Ct regarding the Rothchilds and how there was a "group" or secret society planning to make just such a set of strategic moves as you describe aboue. I was startled by what I had read but thought I could see traces of it happening. Then W got into the WH and I was not so sure it was a CT at that point. Now it looks like the info was legit and spot on... and that's what keeps me awake at night.

17. Absolutely--Pooooo Teen wants to be King of the World!!! nt

4. Diary at DKos highlights Bannon's empire. He has Breitbarts opening across Europe

He's basically helping the Far-Right White Supremacists take over here, France and Germany... working hand in glove with Putin and Russia. Plus an assist from the 4chan losers who have nothing to do but spread their hate.

And it sure as heck looks like the FBI and maybe NSA have moles working towards this sick agenda.

Here is the link to the diary at DKos PLEASE READ IT

8. Too frightening.

[2naSalit]

12. ...and our

officials are looking the other way while the world is handed over to despots. Lovey.

[Hortensis]

14. Ridiculous. It's voters who are trying to hand the U.S. over.

And probably at least 8 out of 10 of those have absolutely no idea what they're doing.

13. Thanks, KittyWampus!

Merkel's going to have a tough election.

[MADem]

18. Angela Merkel is, for better or worse, the Leader of the Free World come January.

We'd better hope she prevails.

[NastyRiffraff]

21. I think that's why she decided to run again

Somebody has to defend the globe.

[MADem]

22. I think you're right on the money. nt

[octoberlib]

16. I just finished reading this and WOW!

It's eye- opening.

[Useless in FL]

26. Yow!

That is very frightening....

We are definitely in for some rough years.

7. steve bannon Anti-Christ

9. Perfect description of a sociopath

In fact, all that Trump surrounds himself with are sociopaths.

[JonLP24]

10. I agree

I thought the same thing.

[Hortensis]

15. From Pat Buchanan, for years appearing on CNN and MSNBC:

As the decisive struggle in the second half of the 20th century was vertical, East vs. West, the 21st century struggle may be horizontal, with conservatives and traditionalists in every country arrayed against the militant secularism of a multicultural and transnational elite.

Despicable characterization glorifying what is actually bigotry and nationalist aggression.

For those who haven't read it, STRONGLY RECOMMEND:

http://members.shaw.ca/jeanaltemeyer/drbob/TheAuthoritarians.pdf

Dr. Altemeyer published this lay version of his research on authoritarians and auth. followers free on line because he felt it was desperately important for these people to be understood. Subsequent studies by others have only built on, refined and validated this beginning.

It's also a very enjoyable read, although more appallingly "real" right now. Trump's obviously at least a "social dominator," while many of those around Trump, like Bannon, and pulling strings from the shadows are unquestionably going to be "double high" types.

So it looks like most really prejudiced people come in just two flavors: social dominators and high RWAs. Since dominators long to control others and be authoritarian dictators, and high RWAs yearn to follow such leaders, most social prejudice was therefore connected to authoritarianism.

The Worst of the Lot. One thing has struck me as I’ve studied Double Highs. They’ve usually combined the worst aspects of being a social dominator with the worst aspects of being a high RWA. Thus we saw that when it comes to prejudice, they pack an extra load of hostility toward their many targets. And they’re just as power hungry as the rest of the social dominators are, rather than being uninterested in personal power as ordinary RWAs are. ...but instead they look much more like the fundamentalist, ethnocentric RWAs. ...instead they are as highly self-righteous as the rest of the high RWAs. ... instead they see the world as much more dangerous, the way most high RWAs do.

All in all, Double Highs exhibit an amalgam of bad traits and inclinations. They’re like
a child who’s got Uncle Harry’s splotchy skin and Aunt Mildred’s difficult
temperament and Grandpa Pete’s bow legs and... But don’t feel too sorry for them.
With their followers’ eager help, they’re ruining America.

19. He's an insufferable racist, too. They're everywhere.

[Hortensis]

23. Disgusting that he was presented as a "respectable"

even intellectual conservative, not a white male supremacist/nationalist, on TV for decades. Before the internet I didn't really pay any attention to him, so it was a surprise (and revelation) when he ran for president and all these racists came out of the woodwork, like cockroaches, to support him.

[barbtries]

20. well, i read it.

kinda hard to swallow breitbart as a good guy frankly.

[Hortensis]

24. No kidding. One of those "relatively speaking" things?

[DinahMoeHum]

25. Tread real careful around Ben Shapiro. He's NOT an ally of ours.

Here are his remarks about President Obama today:
