After Trump's latest gaffe Wednesday night that he would "leave us in suspense" the charges of sedition rang out.
Sedition: "
conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch." So where does Trump campaign CEO Steve Bannon fit in? Daily Beast, in an August 22, 2016 article reported that Bannon had said this, in 2014, at his home:
“I’m a Leninist,” Bannon proudly proclaimed.
Shocked, the writer asked Bannon 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.” Bannon was employing Lenin’s strategy for Tea Party populist goals. He included in that group the Republican and Democratic Parties, as well as the traditional conservative press.”
Bannon went on to state:
“National Review and The Weekly Standard,” he said, “are both left-wing magazines, and I want to destroy them also.” He added that “no one reads them or cares what they say.” His goal was to bring down the entire establishment including the leaders of the Republican Party in Congress. He went on to tell me that he was the East Coast coordinator of all the Tea Party groups. His plan was to get its candidates nominated on the Republican ticket, and then to back campaigns that they could win. Then, Bannon said, when elected they would be held accountable to fight for the agenda he and the Tea Party stood for.
If they didn’t, “we would force them out of office and oppose them when the next election for their seats came around.”
[Emphasis added.] Read the article in its entirety, link below, and you'll see that Bannon is as good as his word. Neo-Nazi Dave Brat of Virginia was a replacement for Eric Cantor, when Eric Cantor didn't quite toe the Bannon line. Bannon is seeding the Republican party with his disciples. And Louis Gohmert of Texas conveniently fits in with Bannon's agenda.
... "Rep. Louis Gohmert, the fiery congressman from Texas, was also at the party. [where Bannon made these remarks] Gohmert, who is part of the self-proclaimed anti-establishment wing of the Republican Party, was an ally of Cruz in the government shutdown."
And so it goes. It will come as no shock that Bannon was asked to confirm these statements in a follow-up interview and denied ever having met the writer, let alone the statements.
Steve Bannon is the guiding force behind Donald Trump's power play for the throne of the White House. To narcissist Trump, the White House is just another icon on his personal Monopoly board. Steve Bannon, by electing Trump, plans to flip the board over. As Americans, we can no longer tolerate this active and openly declared subversion in our midst. Literally, we must act now to save our democracy from Steve Bannon and Donald Trump.
