Those hoping to understand what the world might currently be up against should know how Stephen Bannon thinks. A corpulent man with a full head of hair at age 62, his gaze is clear and alert and he often pinches his mouth together until his lips become invisible, not unlike a street fighter. Now that he works in the White House, he has begun wearing a suit coat. Previously, though, he was fond of showing his disdain for refined Washington by wearing baggy cargo pants through the streets of the capital, shaggy and unshaven. In November 2013, the historian Ronald Radosh visited multimillionaire Bannon in his townhouse, located in Capitol Hill. The two stood in front of a photo of Bannon's daughter Maureen, an elite soldier with a machine gun in her lap posing on what had once been Saddam Hussein's gold throne.
Munich is the capital and most populous city of the second most populous German federal state. While the republican government had been restored, Munich became a. Was referred to as the Hauptstadt der Bewegung ('Capital of the Movement'). Its primary concert venue is the Herkulessaal in the former city royal.

At the time, Bannon was the head of the right-wing propaganda website Breitbart and the two were discussing his political goals. Then Bannon proudly proclaimed, 'I'm a Leninist.' The historian reacted with shock, asking him what he meant. 'Lenin,' he answered, 'wanted to destroy the state, and that's my goal too. I want to bring everything crashing down, and destroy all of today's establishment.' By that, he meant the Democratic Party, the media, but also the Republicans. Radosh wrote about the encounter in a for the news website The Daily Beast and soon thereafter, once close confidants to Bannon came out of the woodwork to share what they knew about his world view.
'Steve is a strong militarist, he's in love with war - it's almost poetry to him,' his longtime Hollywood writing partner Julia Jones the website. She said books about war lay all over the place in his home. 'He's studied it down through the ages, from Greece, through Rome. Every battle, every war.
Never back down, never apologize, never show weakness. He lives in a world where it's always high noon at the O.K. Jones says that Bannon's favorite book is Chinese writer Sun Tzu's 'The Art of War' (written around 500 B.C.) and that the Hindu 'Bhagavad Gita' is another.
The latter is an ancient epic about an Armageddon-like battle in which a prince fights to regain his kingdom, which had been wrongly snatched away from him. Krishna, in an incarnation, nudges him along when he grows weak and is tormented by his scruples. Then Krishna leads him into battle in a chariot. Matters of War and Peace Last Monday, Donald Trump promoted Bannon once again. The ex-Breitbart editor had started as his campaign manager before becoming Trump's chief political strategist in the White House. Now, though, Bannon has also been named a permanent member of the National Security Council. 'That's the worst thing that has ever happened,' says one former Bannon confidant.
In addition to other aspects of national security, the group, one of the government's most important, also addresses matters pertaining to war and peace. Just months ago, Bannon predicted: 'We're going to war in the South China Sea in five to 10 years. There's no doubt about that.'
Against China, a nuclear power. Bannon has also claimed that another war will also flare up, this one in the Middle East.
Netanyahu, Erdogan, Putin or Trump, is there a great deal of difference? Are they not all a danger to world freedom?
So, the new U.S. President is said to have has divided his country.
Was it not always divided? The native population has little to say, since being mowed down by white immigrants. The descendants of slaves, riot on the streets, (even when the a president has a dark skin). The rich live in luxury while the poorest citizens sleep on the streets.
The USA is no more divided than the UN! Nevertheless, when reporting about the division of society, why not start with Europe, where the policies of Schulz and Juncker, have turned the wonderful idea of a free and united Europe, into cacophonous bureaucratic monster, from which at least Britain wishes to leave. Nearer home, is of course Frau Merkel, who has completely upset any idea, that Germany may one day learn to become a democratic state and through her polices, has created a huge (sometimes violent), abyss between the extreme left and right political radicals. Trump is different, but hardly more dangerous than most of the leaders in the Middle East or Asia.
