STEVE BANNON IS DISRUPTING DEMOCRACY. THIS IS HOW

As a single mom with a full-time job, Wendy Ahrenkiel had little time for politics. But after the 2020 election, when Joe Biden was declared President, she felt cheated — and found the time.

Ahrenkiel, 47, has heard the arguments in the mainstream media about how claims of a stolen election in 2020 are unsupported by credible evidence. But she still doesn’t buy it.

“I thought that there's a lot of funny things that went on with the election,” she told CNN. “That made me just do my own research.”

That research led her to talk politics with friends — many of them moms like her — who clued her in to a show called “War Room,” hosted by a man with whom she was only vaguely familiar: Stephen K. Bannon.

Bannon doesn’t just touch on the election canard, he pounds it with a sledgehammer day after day on “War Room” — a program that reaches audiences online and on air.

Bannon loves this kind of coverage by CNN and other institutional media because it shows that War Room is having an effect. Shut out of conventional media outlets, Bannon has built a highly influential, pro-Trump venue of his own.

CNN put it out as a hit piece, and thought it was. Bannon, its pretty honest about what he, Navarro, Precinct Project, et al., are doing. Says everyone should watch it.

This is an in depth hit piece but it demonstrates why most of us here like Bannon as likely Trumps loudest supporter.

Did you read Steve Bannon's book?

Wow to listen to CNN ONLY the left should get to spread their viewpoint with zero pushback or disagreement.

“Meanwhile nothing gets done.”

Bannon alone has been strongly pushing The Precinct Project. Precinct Project is solely responsible for Youngkin winning in VA. Their activism is going to make cheating this time around MUCH harder for the RATs.

This is an example the Left's devoid-of-facts "argumentation." The Left assaults articulate and effective individuals from the Right that are espousing cogent and persuasive ideas to the populace. It's as sophisticated a form of censorship and cancel culture as most Leftists can grasp. The Left does not have analogous individuals to effectively espouse the Left's "ideals" though intellectual thought. There are no Limbaughs, D'Souzas, Petersons, Pragers, Shapiros, Candace Owens or Bannons persuading through intellectual insight from the Left. Yet Leftist academicians, whom one might imagine would be strong on intellectual thought processes let their activities be consumed on training angry and violent, socialist drones.

Where the Left hires its media warriors, most often from bloodline-connected families, those from the Right have had to earntheir credibility via grassroots activity. If someone from the Right doesn't gain an audience, someone more effective will generally find the microphone and TV camera. The Right seeks to reward effective voices just as in business the Right would strongly reward merit.

In the past couple of days, I've been watching "Bloody Hill" and "The Real Story of January 6," both documentaries of January 6. Though I'm not easily shocked, I've been repeatedly shocked and had to walk away from these two documentaries for their solid, effective presentation of facts that have been nearly totally missing from the Mainstream Media and certainly missing from the Unselect, illegally-formed-and-acting J6 Committee. The Left's unreported bias these videos have brought to light is earth shattering.

Yet, none of that causes my mind to go where the Left's messages would have me go. Somehow, the Left drones have uniformly resounded with a angry messages of Civil War! Some of my extended family members are angry with those on the Conservative side as if we've pushed them to such a war because we've not taken the microphone and pulpit away from PDJT. They've been taught to fear the large rallies PDJT has caused to happen just by announcing the time and date!

The Left's leaders specialize in reliance on brainwashing their own lemmings. No leaders from the Left seem to value thoughtful consideration of evidence, but rather quickly peg the meter toward pointing out whom should be the object of their hatred. It's a go-to tactic used by them, as some of us will recall from infiltrators to rallies from long ago, where the Left's ground leader would place his hat on an FR guy and then the Leftist's nameless sycophants would bodily assault the FR hero, sending him to the hospital.

Long live considered thought that seeks the best interests of all Americans!

Bannon seems to be effective according to the article.

“”Bannon goes beyond grousing. He rouses.Ahrenkiel heeded the call. She and her friends started attending meetings put on by their local Republican Party in DeKalb County, Georgia.
From there, Ahrenkiel — a medical device salesperson — went all in, putting her name in the running for a state House seat in her affluent district in the northern Atlanta suburbs. As the only GOP candidate in the November race, she is now the party’s nominee.””
(snip)
“”The show is a hefty contributor to a grassroots surge that is sending political neophytes to city councils, school boards, and state legislatures, as well as to the polls to oversee voting””

I listen to all 4 hours of War Room daily since Nov 2020 (I discovered it on Election Night—Steve Bannon and pollster Richard Barris had the best coverage) and I’ve gotten involved in my local school board elections, working to recall and throw out pro-teacher union school board trustees and supporting pro-parent candidates for the school board (and that’s AFTER I pulled my teens from public school in 2020).

We should all do similar. Get involved in at the precinct level. Don’t just post here on FR. Action, action, action!

Luckily this CNN article describes how to become a precinct committeeman through the work of Dan Schultz!

It’s not anti-democracy to get involved in politics; it’s the very definition of it.

Yes, just a little hyperbolic. A man with no government office or actual power - yet he rises to the level of something worthy of attacking. Talk about snowflakes.

Not true—a lot is getting done, if you read the article. Conservatives are stepping up and working to elect better candidates rather than just whining and watching Fox TV. What are YOU doing to help?

So blind to their own selves!!!

Absolutely no shame...

WHO perpetuated the Trump-Russia Steal nonsense for the past 5-6 years???

Don Lemon, Chris Cuomo, Brian Stelzer, Wolf Blitzer, Chris Clizard, Jim Acosta, Dana Bash, Paul Begala, Erin Burnette, Alyson Camarata, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Poppy Harlow, John King, Michael Smerconish, Jake Tapper and many, many more.

They’re all #1 LIARS and disinformationists and bringers of fake news.

They’ve done more to harm our Constitutional Republic and representative democracy than any enemy we’ve ever had.

Anyone who is tuned in to Bannon’s show and what he’s doing knows that it’s silly to accuse him of being nothing but a media hog.

For the US DOJ to be going after Bannon after a year and a half of nothing sticking to Trump over Jan 6, is desperate. They know this will backfire, making Bannon more effective in his messaging.

Now. Here’s the LA Times headline for today, “Trump should be charged for crimes against humanity”

Bannon was the last card they had to play in their bluff. They kept it for last they had nothing on him. He is powerful because he spreads the word, the truth, and they know it.

They’re not calling him a media hound. They would ug they could it would deflate his following. But they can’t do that because they can’t lie about him it would make their case even more ridiculous than it already is. He is not a media hound.

He’s a Harvard educated former honorable Naval Officer with extensive financial market and economic knowledge and experience, with a strong knowledge of world history who gathers an extensive cadre of like minded educated patriots who get things accomplished

The JB apparatus want him gone. They know better than anyone he’s not a media hound.
