The Bombs of Steve Bannon
'Like much of the world, Ive been trying to understand Stephen K. Bannon, the chief strategist and guiding force behind the chaos of Donald Trumps bizarre presidency chaos by design.
He has been called the most dangerous political operative in America, the second most powerful man in the world and the great manipulator. He reportedly compared himself to Vladimir Lenin, the murderous architect of the Soviet Union not his politics, but his goal to blow up the state. In a rare interview last fall, Bannon mentioned some role models.
Darkness is good, he told The Hollywood Reporter. Dick Cheney, Darth Vader. Satan. Thats power. You certainly cant accuse him of lacking ambition, but I think he cited that villainy all-star list to throw people off. In the same interview, he made another, more accurate comparison:
I am Thomas Cromwell in the court of the Tudors.
Its well known that Trump doesnt read; he watches Fox News, then sends out inaccurate tweets about something he was unable to process. But Bannon is a voracious reader of philosophy, theory and the hinge moments in history. Cromwell, who altered the course of the Western world in ways still being felt today, was Steve Bannon in feathered Tudor finery.
To the Irish, the name Cromwell still sends shivers down the spine, a name associated with a rampage of terror and slaughter in Ireland. But that was Oliver Cromwell, a distant relative.'>>>
