      [continued from previous message]              life was padded by all Goldman money. The bank account never left Bel-       Air. The Rolex never came off. He wasn’t just out of touch with the       working class. He was orbiting them from space, occasionally       parachuting down to give a speech about sovereignty and struggle, then       retreating back to his fortified compound of fine Scotch. Deceit and       duplicity are Bugs and Bannon’s matrix. They’re part of the operating       system. I’m going to take a break and finish the article, and then       we’re going to move on. But you need to know. You need to know who this       fraudster is, who these grifters are, and how they operate. They are       the establishment. They are the establishment. And they’ve been       undermining President Trump’s administration. Left and right. I’ll be       right back.              Segment 2       These people have absolutely nothing in common with you. We talk about       the common man. They’re utterly uncommon. They view you as a mark, as       targets. They’re demagogues. They’re propagandists. Nobody wanted to       stand up to the made people come anymore. What do we do about this?       What do we do about this? Finally, I said, I’ll tell you, I’ll do       something about it. I’m not going to allow the millions and millions of       people. Conservative patriots, Tea Party, Reagan Revolution, Trump       Revolution, MAGA, whatever. Fall victim to these grifters. I’m not       going to allow it. Now I’ve posted plenty. You’re welcome to read it or       not. But you need to be very careful what you’re dealing with here.       Very. They’re sinister and they’re out for themselves. I’m going to       finish with Bannon when we return. And then we’re going to move on.       We’ll be right back.              Segment 3       Let me finish with this article on Bannon. Throw him out with the rest       of the garbage. And I’ve. I’ve done my job. I believe my job is to       serve my audience here and to alert you and so many Americans who work       hard about what what’s going on here? You know, this guy, Qatar Olsen,       among other thing, he’s a trust fund baby with the Swanson frozen food       family. I don’t hold that against him. I really don’t. But he ought to       stop pretending he’s a common man, a blue collar guy when he was born       with a silver, no platinum spoon in his mouth. Same with Fatboy here.       The Rosie O’Donnell lookalike. And so this gentleman writes Jack       Mcgilligan, a writer and researcher who explores culture, society, the       impact of technology on daily life. At the wrap. Take the infamous       build the Wall scheme, for example, Bannon raised millions of dollars       from ordinary Americans, promising every penny would go to the wall.       Trump couldn’t finish, he said. And what? And what happened? The money       vanished into private pockets, luxury expenses, personal salaries.       Bannon was arrested on a Chinese billionaire yacht lounging in luxury       while federal agents boarded. He was spared only by a last minute Trump       pardon. Yet somehow that only added to his legend. Then came the       supergroup Pitch a Global Nationalist Alliance, a Global Nationalist       Alliance conferences and hungry meetings in Rome and whispered       influence over several European populists. Bannon wasn’t interested in       saving Main Street. He was franchising the culture war, exporting MAGA       aesthetics to every corner of the globe, not because he believed in the       cause, but because there’s always a market for outrage. This is not the       story of a man who joined the people. It’s the story of a man who       studied them, branded them and built a media empire on their backs. He       frames everything as a spiritual battle. America versus the elites. But       Bannon is the elite. He just speaks rage fluently. So here’s the       question. If a man tells you he’s at war with the empire while still       cashing royalty checks from it, do you believe him or do you finally       see it for what it is? As the writer, Bennett is not a warrior for the       working man. He’s a salesman in battle gear with a podcast mic and a       passport full of donor meetings. He doesn’t live among the people, he       studies them. Scripts are angry, sells it back to them. He rebranded       himself so many times. This reminds me Katara often rebranding himself       so many times. He’s rebranded himself so many times that the gentleman       writes naval officer, investment banker and Hollywood producer,       political strategist. You’d think he was running a hedge fund and       identity. And in a way, he is each persona carefully tailored to meet       the moment, each pivot engineered for maximum leverage. The flannel,       the Catholic mysticism, the bunker aesthetic. It’s all part of the       shameless act. Underneath is a machiavellian tactician who understands       power not as something to dismantle, but to inhabit. Part P.T. Barnum.       Part Pat Buchanan. This is a man who preaches humility while flying.       Private Steve Bannon isn’t leading a rebellion. He is selling one. You       can look all this stuff up yourself, folks. The charges, the guilty       pleas, the pardon, the money, the charity, it’s all there. And what       will happen tonight or tomorrow is you will see a. About six or 12       articles by the the sort of the the central press with headlines trying       to tell you that this is a battle within MAGA. This is a civil war       within MAGA. A battle that this is Levine versus this one or Levine.       There is none of that. It is none of that. I came to the defense of the       president. I came to the defense of the American armed forces. That’s       what I do. I came to the defense of freedom for our country and our       allies in Israel who are under attack. That’s all I did. And so the       flak came in from these guys, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit       still like everybody else. When these thugs gather, they gather in a       group. That’s what they do. They interview each other. They promote       each other. They write about each other because they have to protect       what they have. 94% of Republican MAGA supported what Donald Trump did.       Not one of these guys did. Not one. They warned you about World War       Three. They warned you about the Jews dragging us into another war.       They warned you about the price of fuel going to $30 a gallon when it       actually fell. Everything they said, all their fear mongering proven       wrong. And you know what? I hate to say this. They’re sitting on the       end of the edge of their chairs if something happens. They want to       attack Trump and me and the people who spoke out. And basically what       they’re attacking is the United States military. The United States       military. Which they trash all the time. All the time. Here’s the deal.       The good guys won. Our armed forces won a great commander in chief, a       brilliant one. Our great allies, the Israelis, our great friend, Prime       Minister Netanyahu. They won. The allies won. You won. We won. The       truth has been exposed. These guys have been exposed. All of them. It’s       out there to read. You can read it. Or not. These are facts. Facts.       Read it or not. Don’t worry about the names they use slogan ears,       isolationists or slogan ears. That’s what their Marxist slogan is.       Islamists are slogan. White supremacist slogan is. The Black Panthers       are slogan is. That’s the genre in which these guys swim. It’s the       sewer. And I regret having to go into the sewer to deal with these       guys, but that’s where they are. They’re sewer rats. And you got to go       into the sewer to deal with them. The problem is I can climb out. They       can’t. That’s their habitat. That’s what they do. They’re not MAGA.       They’re not Reagan conservatives. They’re not Trump conservatives.              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
