Steve Bannon Discusses EU Election Victories and President Trump’s Strategic Visit to Japan…

Steve Bannon is in Paris, France as the nationalist wins in the EU parliamentary election results fill the headlines.  Additionally, Bannon gives his opinion on the strategic importance of President Trump’s recent state visit to Japan.

.

Economic security is national security“… I would emphasize the strategy within the multi-layered geopolitical economic reset is all President Trump.  The restoration of a sovereign U.S. economy, and the increases in Main Street American wealth, is Donald Trump’s primary agenda item.  The President listens to advisers on a variety of economic and trade matters, but the America-First policy strategy is all his.

      Carson, sadly any more when Pelosi tries to talk it comes out spouting nonsense, lack of understanding how effective our President is in many countries while she thinks as she said on a visit to Europe that she has the same powers as our President, which she does not but only in her mind which appears to becoming more and more limited. She is trying to say anything to look relevant which is way too late because we recognize that the democrats are the communist party and she is way past her sell by date and trying to look relevant and isn’t and doesn’t want to accept we are winning and we don’t want to be in communist control. She and others in the 2 parties in1 are desperate, trying to throw whatever against Trump and us but is actually failing. I have also noticed she has aged a lot in the last few months because seeing the palace disintegrating daily.

        My friend in the House advises that the Dems are increasingly disconcerted and angered by her incoherent public outbursts, and they want her to step down as SOH. As a condition of her election to the position, she agreed to step down after the 2020 election, but that is now unacceptable to a growing number of members, especially the leftmost “young guns.” who perceive her as a bumbling fool.

        The Dem leadership is flummoxed; cater to her and continue to try to cover for her mental failings or acquiesce to the rank and file who want her ousted.

        The situation is very entertaining to the Repubs, though it comes with the cost of her aberrant jabbering about the President. However, as her rants increase in their absurdity, they are seen as beneficial in exposing the Dems for who they are.

        Nancy was listed as being on the Pentagon-chartered plane from Gitmo that skidded off the runway into a river in Florida ,May 4th. With her were 5 or 6 other nasty Democrat women, maybe some Dem men too, but i didn’t recognize them. Kamala Harris was the one I remember. Why would Nancy and others be going from GITMO to Georgia, i wonder. There were 143 persons aboard, had to climb out on the plane’s wing and await rescue, 21 sent to hospital, nobody died. Plane is still in the water.

        I’ve said this before, I think Pelosi’s brain is being slowly poisoned, perhaps to keep her from being able to testify. The depth of evil being done on this country is an intelligent evil, not compatible with the lack of intelligence displayed by Pelosi in the last year. I remain suspicious that she and many others are simply puppets who don’t know everything, or being poisoned. Dementia is a possibility and so is stress effects, but I don’t really see that — they wouldn’t keep her there. But as long as she does their bidding they will keep her there. The spot of Speaker can’t just be replaced. Speaker is elected by majority. If she is removed or leaves, too much is at stake. So they will keep her (and Chuckie) in their spots, even if dysfunctional — just to keep the spot tied up from someone who might take the house in a different direction — as long as she’s not going too far off their agenda rails.

        But we must open to curtain/expose the puppeteers.

          I’d recommend dropping the conspiratorial poisoning theory.

          Dementia and Alzheimer’s are real and commonplace in our society of increasing numbers of septuagenarian and octogenarian senior citizens.

          The most obvious and commonplace answer to “mysteries” is usually the correct answer.

          Speaker Pelosi is losing her mental faculties right in front of the national cameras.
          Instead of retiring and turning over her gavel to a healthier Rep., her desperate clutching onto power keeps her visible for all to watch her decline.

          Sad.

            I agree with your bottom line: she’s impaired, power-hungry, and does not want to give up the gavel.

                A2 and Carson Napier, I’m not wading in here to take up for either side but to quote A2 to buttress his point, “As AI develops we may see more of this fakery. Videos of people with altered words, spread by social media….”

                Is this not what we all see happening more and more each day as time passes?

                We were told by the Apostle Paul 2000 years ago about a future world leader coming to dominate and destroy,

                “whose coming IS after the working of Satan WITH ALL Power and Signs and LYING WONDERS, And WITH ALL DECEIVABLENESS of Unrighteousness in them that perish; BECAUSE THEY RECEIVED NOT THE LOVE OF THE TRUTH, that they might be saved.

                And FOR THIS CAUSE God SHALL SEND THEM STRONG DELUSION, THAT THEY SHOULD BELIEVE A LIE: THAT THEY ALL MIGHT BE DAMNED WHO BELIEVED NOT THE TRUTH, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

                The Beast, the Globalists, the NWO, the Global Marxist Movement, the Global Islam Movement, or whatever you want to call it is using all forms of communication in its deception and lying. They are having huge successes. This is what we who love THE TRUTH are in an all out War against.

                I wanted to comment here to bring attention to it using this thread as an illustration.

                We here at the Tree House fight for truth. It’s okay to disagree on things that are not vital.

                Let’s all remember we are in this fight together and to get back with the team to pull in the same direction after we’ve had our say.

                Survival of our Country and our Liberty depends on it.

                Again quoting A2:

                “We the people have to do our bit in combatting this insidious trend. People who just want the facts, not embroidered, altered and then spewed out as true.

                I want to see the facts, not disinformation.”

                The process of settlement is a “Civilization-JihadistProcess” with all the word means. The
                Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions. Without this level of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and have not prepared ourselves for Jihad yet. It is a Muslim’s destiny to perform Jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes, and there is no escape from that destiny except for those who chose to slack. But, would the slackers and the Mujahedeen be equal.

      Free unfettered economic activity at the grass roots/“mainstreet” level is without exception one of the most vital elements of Liberty. Liberty can not exist never mind thrive otherwise. See how it works here? Why economic tyranny over the dirt people is the cornerstone of tyrannical power?
      If you don’t grock the implications here, think this: if your too busy surviving in this age, living hand to mouth, as a debt slave, a corporate slave, permitted just enough of a living wage to just pay your servitude debt cycle every month, every week, just getting by on what you can create in regards to personal wealth, you don’t have time, resources, energy, to resist tyranny, never mind live free. You are a subject. It requires an effort of great will and focus to break the chains enslaving you. Which the system is purposefully constructed to keep you from realizing.

      Mr. Trump understands this. Can you see why he is so dangerous the the one world order? President Trump’s defiance to and rejection of this economic slavery is the essential path back towards American Freedom and Prosperity. Even a violent war of revolution pales in comparison to the motive power and wonderful audacity of open grass roots source economic activity free of the power and greed that strip mines us of our wealth.

      Remember always, Wealth, only derives from one source and one source only, the labor, the blood sweat and tears, the elbow grease of dirt people who create something tangible using their labor. Wealth comes from no other source, the rest being a piggyback on the back of that wealth creation by a myriad of schemes and activities designed to deprive you of your personal wealth you create.

          Maybe if you stopped hating Bannon so much you would be able to see clearly that he is on our side.

          Bannon even before his association with Trump has always been involved in a movement for the “little people” to have a government that represents their values.

          Corrupt Pence’s dorks made sure to have Bannon removed from Trump’s sphere. Pence doesn’t give one $**T about draining the swamp. Pence is the freakin’ swamp. Pence was hired for his “relationships.” Pence could have reined in his corrupt swamp rat friend Paul Ryan. HE. DID. NOT. In fact, Pence made sure that Bannon was blamed for the GOP not getting rid of Obamacare.
          Pence’s scumbag staff has been responsible for the leaks to media.
          The idiots that Trump has hired that have stabbed him in the back are all swamp rat Pence’s recommendations.

          Bannon is an alpha male just like Trump. He operates better on his own and does not desire to have elected office. He excels at promoting people who stand for small government values.

          Bannon has done much in Europe with Salvini, Marine LePen and Orban. He did not ever take credit for their success. Bannon is even fighting the corrupt Pope over here in Europe.
          I am extremely thankful as an American expat that Bannon has come here to help the European deplorables.

  6. Bannon got his points in…I did not hear him taking credit for POTUS or for the wins in Europe; in fact he denied being an advisor to Le Pen, Farage, Salvini, etc but cast his role as a “cheerleader” for restoration of nations in Europe. And he also denied speaking with POTUS–esp. given continued harassment from Demonrats like Nadler.

    Whatever Bannon’s warts, he does grasp the stakes and necessary readjustment globally. Farage was on Tucker Carlson’s show tonight and spoke strongly about BREXIT and his role to ensure it happens.

    I’m in favor of anyone that calls out the lies and bad policy of folks like Merkel and Macron–and as Bannon said, the Pope is not infallible on politics.

    I always liked Bannon. I remember when he left the Whitehouse he said he was going to work to the original objectives from the outside. He appears to be doing just that.

    It’s well worth looking at what they are doing with “We Build the Wall” over at Gateway Pundit. Esspecially the construction video, and explanation of the design and construction methodology.

    This project is not just good engineering, it is brilliant politics.(Bannon’s fingerprints). They haven’t just built a useful section of wall in record time, they also built the service/patrol road. They successfully demonstrated a viable construction methodology that coped well in terrain where others had said construction was unviable.

    We Build the Wall will be able to continue to build functioning sections in critical locations on private land, with those Democrats and RINOs opposing the president unable to stop them.

    As they build the wall, they destroy the excuses of the open border supporters. The politics of “doing not talking” is incredibly powerful, especially against the “We’re fighting for …(but doing nothing)” RINO scum.

    According to Drudge, China is now threatening rare earth exports.
    This is good, because it will force us to ramp up our own domestic extraction of rare earth elements.
    There is no good reason for why we have to rely on China for them when we have them in the ground in abundance here. It comes down to left-wing anti-mining politics in the US which is not a thing in China.

    We will now have to discard these regulations for the sake of national security.
    China was always planning on cutting off our rare earth supply. They’ve been holding that card for the future economic war they’ve been planning for decades to unleash, once they have grown powerful enough. President Trump has forced them into this war on his terms and on his schedule, before they are fully prepared. That is the Art of War.

    We must ramp up our own extraction of rare earth elements for our own national and economic security over both the short term and long term. This is also key to moving technology manufacturing to the US, which itself is a matter of national and economic security.

      The rare earth minerals problem is easily solved. Rather there are two problems:

      First is the minority Chinese shareholding in Mountain Pass mine in the US. They must be ordered to divest themselves of this holding. Their current trade threats give the perfect national security excuse.

      Second, the ore from Mountain Pass is actually shipped to China for processing. However Lynas Corp. of Australia is pressing to set up a rare earth minerals processing facility in the US. This proposal should immediately be prioritised by the US government and government assistance offered to Lynas Corp and the proposed US partner Blue Line Corp to accelerate the project.

  19. “Globalism” was always a strategy that WEAKENED every nation that participated in it, because it forgets that industries form a tightly woven web of business and supply relationships. At one time, America made its own shoes. Today, shoe-factories fail because of the lack of supporting industries which used to surround the shoe-plants in the very same city.

    Globalists insist that “Chinese shoes cost less,” but domestic shoes would be better shoes and gainfully-employed workers could afford them.

    Globalists also pursue what they euphemistically call “immigration” in an actual attempt to have “slaves” and “indentured servants.” (The “non-immigrant visa” in the USA is literally an indenture, created by the “sponsorship” requirement.)

    The fallacy of “globalism” is seen most clearly at the bottom, in the lives of ordinary people. There is WISDOM in the concept of “sovereign nations” which, even as they trade with one another, simultaneously support and – yes – protect their own industries. Ordinary people clearly understand this, and they are finally beginning to compel their elected leaders to do the same. “‘Globally,’ we made a big mistake. All of us must fix it – by re-imagining what international trade must be, and what role it must (and must not) play.

      Well stated, Mike. We have the authority, we just need to understand and do something about it. It starts with re-imagining the use of the idiot box/media at home along with our public education systems. What we identify as “entertainment” must be addressed at home. People are being programmed to believe right is wrong and good is bad. Take control at home and at the local school board levels. This movement has to be bottom up, Main Street must lead.

      Sovereignty dose not collapse as a consequence of globalism. Globalism is veiled as a higher social and moral ground to infiltrate and dismantle sovereign nations from within. Globalists know how easy it is to trick people into enslaving themselves to government.

      America, our Constitution, and freemen of the middle class have always been their greatest obstacle . For nearly a century they have been systematically undermining each and every pillar of our strength. Exfiltration of manufacturing, intellectual property and middle class wealth are core strategies of Globalism, not unfortunate consequences.

    Bannon is right, Merkel is a phony, and so are a lot of the media and establishment in Germany.
    I live in Germany and it is true that many Jews fear for their safety, and although there is a mixture of anti-Semites from the right and left, since the great influx of people from the ME in 2015 the danger has massively increased.
    But Merkel and the media are phony and great hypocrites, because they claim it is a scandal that Jews must live in fear again in Germany, but they spare almost no effort to ignore and hide the fact of where the antisemitism is coming from. A large amount of it is from the new migrants.

    Even the police statistics are not to be trusted. In the major newspaper Die Welt there was a report recently (I think it also got some international coverage too) of how the police in Berlin attribute any antisemtic incident to the right wing when the attacker cannot be clearly identified. This means that if a Jew reports an incident to the police, but cannot provide a description of the perpetrator, it is automatically entered in the statistics as a right wing incident. So whenever there is a report in the papers about antisemitism, these statistics are cited to show that the majority of the attacks come from the right wing. Instant scapegoat!
    It is stunning to watch the establishment with Merkel at the top consciously lie to themselves and everybody else and the majority of the complicit media play along. How long do they think they can pull the wool over people’s eyes?

It could have been any international city — all kinds of costumes, all kinds of accents, all kinds of languages. We went to the Galleria and it wasn’t the Galleria. Lots of women in hijabs pushing baby strollers with toddlers clinging to their skirts. Languages I didn’t recognize. Lots and lots of Spanish which I don’t speak but recognize. Our cabbie who took us back to our hotel downtown was from the Cameroon. He was seriously ticked off. He said he spoke his native language and French (one of the languages of Cameroon) but when he came here he had to learn English. Now he said he has to learn Spanish because so many Spanish speakers can’t speak English.

      And like London voting to “remain”, Houston now votes Democrat. I saw my first Hillary sign in 2016 when we were there October 2016, in the neighborhood I used to live in — PURE TEXAN then.

When a government that is not accountable to you screws your life up, well that’s when it is time for change. “Nations” and “Nationalism” were made into bad words by Marxists, who have always wanted international government. America, of course, stands for individual liberty first, then state governments by “democratic republic” government, then our federal government with enumerated powers only. Citizens are restless now, intensely disliking various aspects of their establishments that force unwelcome change on them. Such dissatisfaction is best resolved within the smallest jurisdictions possible.

    I do remember mentioning more than a few times in the past that the EU wouldn’t work. One of the main reasons it was formed was to do away with what the European progs saw as corrosive European nationalism, the cause of dozens of European wars throughout Europe’s history. The destruction wrought by WW I and WW II, just 20 years apart, and the misery of the survivors was the push the survivors needed.

    Problem is that once the various nations got back on their feet and the post-WWII generations got up to speed that genetic nationalism came right back. Creating an amalgam of disparate culture-states just wasn’t going to work, if it could have we wouldn’t have had those wars. To top it all, Germany in peace managed to achieve what it couldn’t in two disastrous wars, virtual economic control over Europe. Previous lame attempts at adopting a common language or currency fell flat, what made anyone think that throwing every country into the same pot and stirring furiously would work?

    Ditto Japan, it is and has been obvious what Trump’s doing. Japan sits astride a strategically important area, a base or operations against Korea, Russia and China if the need be. Korea knows that as does China, hence the warning IRBMs fired over Japanese airspace and the aggressive Chinese naval movements against Japanese naval vessels in joint-claimed sea lanes. Japan has valid claims in the Sea of Japan, Yellow Sea and China Sea. The US can claim freedom of navigation issues with Chinese claims but Japan can claim valid national/territorial interests.

    Japan is in its biggest naval build up since WWII and is buying/developing technology to keep it abreast and ahead of Chinese capabilities. Japan will most likely take on the primary role of protectors of the international waters as it’s there, the rest of the world are interested parties. Japan will probably serve as the tripwire for the rest of the world, or that portion of it that has the guts, to step in.

    Problem is that Japan’s population is rapidly aging, some wags have even suggested it could cease to exist as a nation in a century if the numbers of children born don’t start to outpace the numbers of elderly dying. Both Japan and China have rapidly aging populations but Japan’s numbers are more critical. There’s thought that Japan’s headlong push into automation and robot technology is a response to this aging, making up for the lack of younger workers with robots. It could also provide Japan with a military capability that would go around the need for many of the younger military personnel, substituting automation for humans and also going around public feelings about casualties. I see Japan needing us a whole lot and being vital to our Pacific strategy.

    This is an interesting time to live in, another worldwide sea change that will reverberate for years to come. I don’t see it ushering in a generation of world peace but let’s hope any wars aren’t going to visit destruction worldwide that WWII did Europe and Asia.
