Developing Story May Involve “Alt-right” – How Far Does It Reach
Focus now in light of the White House turmoil is Stephen Bannon — perceived to be the “real
power” behind Trump. That is a hard harsh fact based on a lot evidence that
mounts almost daily. How, or if he is even remotely tied to this story – surely
we need to know.
This story headline got my attention:
Pro-Trump trolls silent after “Alt-right"
ship detained in Mediterranean for apparent human trafficking
Background:
1. Donald J. Trump is president; not Stephen K.
Bannon.
2. Trump was elected to the office; not Bannon
(he was appointed).
3. Trump, like presidents before him, is expected
to show good judgment in making cabinet and other key government official choices
and selections; not Bannon.
So, who is in charge of our
government and thus, the country? That is not a rhetorical question. All that
has happened in last few weeks and months since Trump took office needs close
scrutiny to see exactly what Bannon’s role, if any, has been and continues to
be.
Much has been is still
on-going about the missteps and faux pas of the administration – practically it
seem almost on a daily basis – thus key and critical questions remain unanswered
definitively.
The real question is:
“Who is in charge?” By all accounts it is not Donald J. Trump – he is in
office, but he seems not to be presidential – at least that the public has grown
to expect over the years in our presidents.
Tons of information is out there on Bannon and his “Alt-right”
mood and views and contacts while he was in charge of Breitbart.
This video segment may be the most-revealing about Bannon
in his own words not mine – re: Trump’s and his plan to “deconstruct the administrative”
state… WTF moment for sure:
Bannon has also rejected
seen here the idea that he is a racist and here too, saying this
which is revealing as well as astonishing for someone so close to the
President saying:
“I'm
not a white nationalist, I'm a nationalist. I'm an economic nationalist. The
globalists gutted the American working class and created a middle class in
Asia. The issue now is about Americans looking to not get f**ked over. If we
deliver”
(I Note: By the “we” he means the Trump White House with
him in place alongside Trump and with his ear).
Bannon continued: “Then we'll get 60 percent of the white vote and 40
percent of the black and Hispanic vote, and we'll govern for 50 years. That's
what the Democrats missed. They were talking to these people with companies
with a $9 billion market cap employing nine people. It's not reality. They lost
sight of what the world is about.”
Yeah, that Stephen K. Bannon and more:
Bannon can seem to be not just a focused
voice behind Trump, but almost a messianic one when he says: “Like Andrew Jackson's populism, we're going to build
an entirely new political movement. It's everything related to jobs. The
conservatives are going to go crazy. I'm the guy pushing a trillion-dollar
infrastructure plan. With negative interest rates throughout the world, it's
the greatest opportunity to rebuild everything. Shipyards, iron works, get them
all jacked up. We're just going to throw it up against the wall and see if it
sticks. It will be as exciting as the 1930’s, greater than the Reagan
revolution — conservatives plus populists in an economic nationalist movement.”
Then
several days after the Trump inauguration, Bannon told the NY TIMES: “The media
should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen
for a while. I want you to quote this: “The media here is the opposition party.” They
don't understand this country. They still do not understand why Donald Trump is
the president of the United States.”
Then recall that Trump has
repeatedly referred to media outlets and their work as “Fake News” and now he says they are “the
enemy of the American people.”
Finally, in closing, is this most-revealing statement from former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus I guess as we went out W/H Door.
He says this about Bannon: “Strategist Steve Bannon is someone who only cares
about President Donald Trump’s agenda and he thinks about his nationalist-populist
platform “24 hours a day.”
All I can say is Wow… and stay tuned.
Thanks for stopping by.
