To shoot 'The Brink', an illuminating new documentary about former Trump strategist Steve Bannon, director Alison Klayman embedded herself with his entourage for a year, beginning in October, 2017 and finishing just after the 2018 midterm elections.
Klayman captured extraordinarily candid moments from Bannon, and the film colours in and rounds out the black-and-white one-dimensionality with which he has often been depicted in the media. Like anyone, Bannon is complex...
What he does genuinely seem to believe is that America is at an inflection point in its history, a Fourth Turning, in the parlance of sociologist Talcott Parsons, a foundational moment in which national identity is redefined. Bannon's tendency to quote Abraham Lincoln suggests he sees himself or, at the very least, wants to, as an historical figure at the vanguard of an historical moment. Watching the film, one gets the sense that Bannon has his eye on his legacy more than on any specific electoral win.
While in Europe, Bannon met with Nigel Farage from the UK and with members of far-right parties from Italy, Spain, Belgium and Sweden. But by far his biggest fans, or certainly those with which he had the most contact, were the representatives from Marine Le Pen’s National Rally party, namely spokesman Jérôme Rivière and Vice President Louis Aliot. Not only did Bannon meet with them in Europe, but they flew to Washington, DC to watch the mid-term election results come in with him.
But perhaps Bannon’s biggest contribution to the European far-right in general and the National Rally in particular, is his validation of them. He enables them to feel linked not only to Trump and Brexit but to an arguably ascendant global movement. “It’s our time."

Hope he shaves for the premier.
What they call “Far Right” in Europe is anybody who disagrees with the Leftist Elite “consensus”. Anybody who is not an Oikophobe who feels nations are passe and that White westerners owed it to the world to just roll over and allow themselves to be swamped by the refuse of the world pouring in to live on the public dole paid for by sky high taxes on the locals. It also means you think immigrants to your country should live according to the laws and customs of your country instead of coming in uninvited and then demanding that you adapt to their ways.
To object to any of that makes you “racist” and of course means you want to drag the entire world into WWIII. :rolleyes:

They call us racist; we call them bigots. Tie game.
They are being invaded by the foul radical muslims who were/are the dregs of their homelands. We are being invaded by the Hispanic country dregs.
The world is at the brink of change but if we stay on this trajectory; it won’t be a good change and future generations will suffer from the inaction of today if left unchecked and not reversed.
All illegals must be deported. Bar none. All of them. No exceptions. They can apply and show their value to this country with a skill needed that our people cannot provide if they want to return. This is what should happen in
America today using the military to find and round up these invaders if necessary. It’s a national security issue. Or should we wait until another 10,000 American citizens and legal immigrants are killed first by these invaders?
bump
so many bizarre articles being posted, yet not one directing freepers to Mark Levin’s program with guests John Solomon and Sara Carter. huh?
All illegals must be deported.
Bar none.
All of them.
No exceptions.

100% agree.
Flimsey Grahamnesty just signed on to sponsor the next amnesty attempt in the Senate.
Bush League Republicans MUST become extinct before the Republic does.
Bannon is a genius. It wht the left tries so hard to destroy him.
Europe is being colonized. Didn’t the Left used to oppose colonization and foreign imperialism?
