WYM Mod<p>Bannon's fury at CIA Director Ratcliffe highlights a perceived hypocrisy in political probes. He argues these Congressional hearings, meant for serious inquiry, devolve into casual exchanges, allowing opponents to score points. Hypocrisy shines through as Bannon champions Republican investigations while resisting inquiries into Trump allies, dubbing it "political information warfare." Curious how this dynamic plays out?

"Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has falsely claimed that interest rates are always lower under the Coalition because it manages the economy better than Labor."

I expect we'll hear lots of similar 'false' claims from #PotatoHead over the next month or so... that's what he does best... make things up to look better than Labor and say it often enough that the diehard #LNP crowd will believe it. (ALso know as #Bannon 's Gambit - spread enough shit and some will stick)

Ahhh... I pine for truth in politics. It's one thing to 'cherry pick' but it's another to outright lie like a #trumpist.

The Mastermind is someone that no one pays attention to, as we are distracted by what mainstream news is reporting. This is serious. We need to listen to people we don't want to listen to if we really want to understand what is happening. Remember Steve Bannon? Refresh your memory.

Is America ready for a third Trump term?

"When Bannon says he has a plan, take him seriously. The same people who laughed him off in 2016 were blindsided when Trump walked into the White House. Now, Bannon is making one thing clear: A second term isn’t the endgame. It’s just the next stage".

""In a webcast on Monday, Trump ally Steve Bannon defended the deportations even if, as his guest said, they swept in 'some gardener or something who’d never been in trouble.' Bannon replied: 'Big deal…. Maybe some people got caught up in it. Who knows?'"

Letters from an American · March 19, 2025By Heather Cox Richardson

- philomag.com/articles/trump-la

“Flood the zone” est une formule de Steve Bannon, stratège bien connu de l’extrême droite américaine et ancien proche conseiller de Donald Trump.

Son idée – qui a fait ses preuves – était d’inonder les médias de “shit” et d’empêcher la vérification des faits afin de remplacer la vérité par des flux de délires.

Depuis son retour à la Maison Blanche, Trump a repris la même tactique, mais à une échelle supérieure.

Cela semble fonctionner, puisque, à force de boire la tasse sous les transgressions les plus radicales, les politiques et les citoyens ont beaucoup de mal à répondre.

Discrédités à cause de leur déconnection embourgeoisée, les démocrates demeurent attentistes.

Mon ami installé aux États-Unis se demandait d’ailleurs avec une pointe de désespoir pourquoi Barack Obama ne réagissait pas.

Aurait-il peur, lui aussi, d’avoir des ennuis ?

“Inonder la zone” n’est pas seulement un slogan de conseiller en communication.

Il s’agit d’art militaire, et même de philosophie de l’histoire.

Rien d’étonnant de la part de Bannon, dont la vision du monde consiste à espérer une grande conflagration purificatrice.

L’idéologue américain est en effet un lecteur assidu de René Guénon (1886-1951), qui exerce depuis longtemps une influence déterminante sur l’extrême droite.

Selon cet intellectuel orientaliste et antimoderne, l’histoire est cyclique.

L’erreur de la modernité occidentale est de la croire linéaire et en progrès constant.

Il faut au contraire considérer “le désordre comme un élément de l’ordre” (Le Règne de la quantité et les signes des temps, 1945) et la violence des temps modernes comme la phase finale d’un cycle qui conduit à la régénération.

Bannon appelle la guerre de ses vœux – contre l’islam, contre les immigrés, contre la Chine. Elle permettra une remise à zéro indispensable pour espérer un rebond de l’Occident, actuellement tombé en décadence.

Comme l’écrit Guénon, “la fin d’un monde n’est jamais et ne peut jamais être autre que la fin d’une illusion”.

C’est ici que la métaphore de l’inondation prend tout son sens.

Elle est un événement naturel, et de plus en plus fréquent en période de désordre climatique.

Elle exprime aux yeux de Bannon la nécessité inexorable de la nature. La submersion est cruelle, car elle engloutit tout et noie tout le monde. Elle seule est à même, pourtant, de vaincre la supposée submersion migratoire.

Enfin, dans une perspective darwiniste, seuls ceux qui en auront la force pourront surnager.

Il n’en reste pas moins qu’il faut la provoquer.

Après la première nappe, déjà ancienne, des fausses nouvelles, la seconde vise désormais à asphyxier toute velléité d’opposition.

Instruit par Bannon, Donald Trump, qui affirme vouloir la paix tout en envoyant des missiles au Yémen, est aujourd’hui à la manœuvre.

La tactique s’avère efficace, car actuellement, me raconte encore mon ami d’Amérique, chacun doit lutter pour sa propre survie, au sens propre du terme.

Un immigré expulsé doit tenter de se réinventer ailleurs.

Un fonctionnaire licencié du jour au lendemain doit retrouver au plus vite un travail afin de bénéficier d’une assurance maladie pour lui et sa famille.

Une personne en transition de genre doit essayer de poursuivre son traitement.

Avant d’y parvenir, mieux vaut se montrer prudent et s’autocensurer.

Sans avoir le temps de penser au sort des autres, sans aucun espoir de secours, chacun tente d’échapper à la noyade. Retenir sa respiration empêche d’ouvrir la bouche. Pendant ce temps-là, les digues continuent de sauter

The latest egregious example is JD Vance....

An eventual power struggle is inevitable, in which Mr Vance and Washington’s other high-profile Maga Catholic, Steve Bannon, may try to bring a Trumpian influence to bear. For now though, it is good to see the vice-president’s arch-antagonist in the Vatican apparently on the mend. His advocacy on behalf of ;the global common good' has never been more relevant."

The left, right mess is on repeat

This is at the heart of the contradictions and confusion in the political landscape today. The liberal and left muddle, where elements of economic populism are shared across ideological divides, is something we’ve seen before, especially in the 1930s, when fascist movements co-opted working-class grievances while pushing reactionary nationalism. #Bannon, like Röhm, plays a dangerous game by mobilizing working-class anger against neoliberal "elites" but steering it toward nationalism […]

@tokensane @GottaLaff

I would love to have James #Panero as a cocktail guest, as I would Steve #Bannon . Both are delightful raconteurs.

That's just the problem. In a four-minute segment, they can make a charming argument for any silly concept.

Panero's renaming of the imperial system as the "customary system," he had to do, because even the British gave up the imperial system in 1965.
