The Sovereign Will of the PEOPLE is Coming TOGETHER!!
The New Statesman ^ | February 26, 2025 | Freddie Hayward

I asked Bannon what he thought of fascism. “Terrible,” he said, “because it’s totally hierarchical.” He added: “I’m an anti-elite, an anti-racist.” He gestured to the room: “You’ve got coming together every ethnicity, every religion, every race – boom! – in the sovereign will of the people. That’s powerful and it can’t be beaten. I am anti-modernity [because] it leads to the atomisation of society.”

But how could Bannon be an American nationalist and at the same time yearn for a return to a pre-modern world? America is a product of the Enlightenment. Bannon disagreed, arguing America can be the place to perfect what ancient “Athens, Jerusalem and Rome” represented without the ideals of the Enlightenment."

Bannon feels the recent meeting in Saudi Arabia with US - Russia was a "mini-Yalta". I happen to agree.

I’m tired of foreign maggots and their Demorcrat maggot “governors” like the Prixter lying in hopes they can hold the RAT turd party together. Meanwhile, they have their spawn rampaging across the college campuses spreading hatred of the Jews while dressed up like murdering Muzzie terrorists.

Wow. I did not know Bannon was so anti-Constitutional.

No wonder he is on the outs with the Trump Administration.

Welcome to FR!

It is taboo to change headlines, from actual linked headline....FYI.

Your headline SHOULD read ...

The godfather of the Maga right

Any particular reason why you changed the headline??

LOL....I didn’t know Bannon was ‘on the outs’ w/the Trump admin.

He was recently at Mar a Lago. I guess he snuck in the back gate?

How is Bannon ‘anti-Constitutional’?

For one, he advocates for Trump running for a third term.

“third term”

Lol.

That sounds like Bannon is trolling to me.

Even Trump has mentioned a third term.

Is he, too, anti-Constitutional??

I think they say this in jest, since everyone knows Trump’s FIRST second term, was stolen outright.

Do you honestly think either of them envision an 82 year old Pres Trump serving a third term? As much as we’d love to see it, I don’t think third term is happening.

Steve Bannon: “I will have Elon Musk run out of here by Inauguration Day”

Jan 12, 2025: Steve Bannon Goes Nuclear on ‘Truly Evil’ and ‘Racist’ Elon Musk, Pledges ‘To Take This Guy Down’

It appears to me, Bannon’s boasts about his influence on Trump have been shown to be chimerical.

Bannon’s opinion of Musk hasn’t put him on ‘the outs’ with the Trump Admin.

So far you are 0 for 2, Mark.

We have differing opinions.

You have offered reasons as to why my statements may have been hyperbolic.

The article showed a side of Bannon I had not seen before. I expected Bannon to have a stronger presence in the Second Trump administration than it appears he has. He certainly had a stronger public presence in the First Trump administration, until he was pushed out.

Bannon’s public statements appear, to me, as someone trying to project the image of more influence than he actually has.

As much as there is to admire about Greece, Rome and Jerusalem in actual operation they were for the most part tyrannical authoritarian societies.

Bannon either has only “primo facie” knowledge of these societies or is an idiot!

On this, we can agree!!

Still doesn’t make him an anti-Constitutionalist, nor, ‘on the outs’ with the Trump Admin.

Maybe Bannon feels he has the most/best influence, from working outside of the admin....as he has for the past five years.

Many of his regular guests (Kash Patel, Jeff Clark, MTG) are now very much a part of the Trump admin and/or influencers. MTG is heading up the DOGE House committee, IIRC.

“Many of his regular guests (Kash Patel, Jeff Clark, MTG) are now very much a part of the Trump admin and/or influencers. MTG is heading up the DOGE House committee, IIRC.”

Don’t forget Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, was a WarRoom contributor before taking office who, reportedly, took Maga influencer and another Bannon colleague Jack Posobiec to Ukraine with him in February to discuss the peace deal.

I believe Bannon is a lot closer than we are led to believe. Time will obviously tell.
