The greatest weapon of the 21st Century,,, develop a mind manipulating, psychological profile gathering and targeting code.The internet / social media offered the ability to target millions of people with hours of imprint sessions using an election as a springboard into their minds... blind to facts and reason, unconditional loyalty, commonly referred to as Trump's Base. 20 years ago would you ever thought a billion people on this planet would have a wireless connected touchscreen supercomputer the size of a Pop-Tart stuck to their face, walking into traffic, crashing cars into each other, such great technological advances we have achieved. Putin and Steve Bannon had the evil forethought 10 years ago to develop this weapon. Yeah I know,,,mass internet brainwashing technology,,, that's so SI-FI, kind of like landing a booster rocket falling from space, upright on a barge in the ocean or a pad where it blasted off. Now if only I could pry my folks away from Fox News for a minute and not talk about Crooked Hillary,"still reverberating in their heads". At least it's not 100% effective but added to propaganda induced tribalism, political extortion and bribery, effective enough to achieve the unthinkable. Did I hear Putin utter," Checkmate!" Learn how Putin & Steve Bannon brainwashed 50 million Americans using the 2016 election as a springboard into their minds in the new book " Mindf*ck: Cambridge Analytica and the Plot to Break America ".

@@TheHSoko Not quite true - did you not listen to this interview? Bannon talks of how profit is privatised for the elite, and debt is socialised, to be paid by the lower and middle class.

@@matthiashenning5949 oh really? Give us a list if the 10 questions you would ask?

[@matthiashenning5949]

for starters : the first and main complex of questions would have to be about SB's motivations , there's a whole bunch possibly evolving from that . The second complex would be about his dishonest donor - bashing regarding everybody else -- as he himself is beholden to his own donors - esp. the Mercers . The third complex would be about the policy implications - like abolishing environmental protections ( partly even from the Nixon era ) that will destroy precious nature and harm American citicens . The fourth complex would be about the stunning congruence of Russian geo - strategic interests and Pino's actions . Furthermore SB's promotion of right - wing / protofascist groups in Europe that all receive funding from stolen Russian tax payer money . How could he claim this to be unrelated - when there never is anything 'by accident' in politics . Nail him on his praise of Nazi - Putin as a ( in S.B.'s words ) saviour of European nationalism . The last complex would have to go into SB's long term policy goals . So , not being a fulltime - KZbinr and not owing anything to anybody here ( just like everybody else ) these five complexes ( and I could name more ) would easily produce 10s of questions and I think it would have been a far more interesting affair that way . Hell , I'd challenge that SB guy every day as a breakfast warm - up . . .

His opposition to it isn't moral but tactical , he just didn''t like the outcome because it put a spotlight on this scene ( of his friends , allies and Bb readers ) and thus caused them a backlash . He's mostly a disciplined military style strategist and that's the main reason I kept paying close attention till the end , filtering out quite a number of revelations .

@DJ NV Closing the borders to certain people of certain skin hues does nothing to help the working classes. He makes up a silly story that that will reduce the labor pool and raise wages and increase the number of jobs. But he also knows it isn't true. Vouchers are for sending white kids to white schools and have nothing to do with best schools.

[@DynaCatlovesme]

@DJ NV That's the narrative Bannon's selling. There's no truth to it. What actually happens it that crops rot in the fields, prices for produce rises, farmers go bankrupt and are taken over on the cheap by mega-corps. Automation replaces workers not immigrants. Pay only goes up when the demand for goods goes up and demand goes up as population goes up. Reducing population growth by reducing immigration shrinks demand, which reduces the number and value of jobs.

[@DynaCatlovesme]

@DJ NV All that is the exact reverse of anything Bannon is saying. And you can't implement "Where we cannot fill the jobs with citizens, we simply allow the LEGAL immigrants to keep those jobs..." in a free country. The biggest problem, which Bannon ignores completely, is the capitalist death spiral we are in. In the coming decades, the ravages of climate change is going to force us to massacre millions at the border or choose to allow people in. That's the choice.

Most people won’t watch the source material, just the summary documentary. Or, as Bannon would say- their “angle of attack” is still unabashedly knee-to-ankle deep in the Democrat party rhetoric, which maintains a powerful pull over the “good people who know what’s best for everyone” elitism of affluent liberal and socialist government boot lickers. 🤷🏽‍♂️ I could elaborate, but Frontline, as professional and quality as they are, definitely do not align with libertarian or conservative political orientations.

He speaks the truth here, but again he hitched himself to Brightbart to make big $$, then Trump knowing Trump is a grifter. Bannon is very smart- but not always the smartest guy in the room, but he thinks he is, that closed his mind. His bitterness has hardened his heart.

All coming from a corrupt con man who helped a con man CON millions of Americans. Yeah, Great interview.

[@user-qc8vj3vp9v]

Totally agree with you Joanna Shew. He is is definitely speaking the TUTH about the USA's corrupt oligarchy system -- only for the rich paid for by the middle class...called the modern-day serfs. It is truly disgraceful to treat hard-working people this. These elitists are the beneficiaries of welfare or socialism, yet they're quick to look down on the rest of the population who needs a little help. Let them try to live on $10/hr. .....they would never make it a full day. These 1 - 3 pecenters AND corrupt politicians have no conscience whatsoever - yet claim to believe in a God that promulgates fairness, kindness, understanding, empathy, forgiveness, and LOVE; qualities they deeply lack, if not they would not push for policies that benefit them. Unfortunately and sadly, this corrupt system will never change - if anything it will get worse.

If only these career politicians would directly and honestly answer questions like this, instead of lying, evading a question and changing the subject. Even gaslighting.

Anyone who has spent their life’s work considering a strategy and vision for global right-wing populism and nationalism will probably sound pretty convincing - he’s proud of his own ability to manipulate - don’t be sucked in without some thorough research... Kanye West is an example of that.

Yep, he's a swindling, money-munching machine! And now indicted! How awesome is he??? God bless.

Bannon is the perfect icon for those folks that ignore or miss the fact that nothing stays the same. The World is always changing. Trick is to change with it or you will endure some pain.

I have to admit, I am in total agreement with his discussion about how the middle class is getting screwed. I noticed he is in favor of raising taxes on high earners.

Only for idiots. This is what he's saying in the U.S. public. We have videos of him saying many other things too. Like what they print in breitbart about black people. How he thinks whites are superior to others. Lies of only white people invented things. Invented stealing.
