Mr. Bannon is an individual entitled to speaking his mind to the public. We are individuals entitled to laughing our arses off at his blathering. Even if we laugh we must do what we can to never let this want to be tyrant get anywhere near real power.

Did he talk about his unique insights into try to vote in Florida - a state where he didn't even reside? Or his unique insights as a member of the Hollywood Club (Seinfeld director)?

The guy is a billionaire finances loudmouth nobody. That's the problem today - too many people are parroting what their paymasters want them to say.

Facts? Bannon would not exist except for his Mercer billionaire financiers. Bannon and friends love to put down Hollywood - but they ARE Hollywood.

They are basically trying to undermine anything positive about the USA - and then just hope that the result chaos and shootouts magically result in an advanced White Civilization. Ain't gonna happen. Despite some recent exceptions, the History of the World is White People fighting White People. That is what created the modern world (Europe) and we tried to get away from it here.

But guys like Bannon want to bring that same level of hate, killing and suffering here - as long as they are highly pai for it.

He's an entertainer with no conscience. Period.

"4. Thucydides’ History of the Peloponnesian War. This book provided Bannon with lessons against an interventionist foreign policy, and he says it teaches about the law of unintended consequences. “That’s what Thucydides teaches. It’s just very powerful. All leaders should read it. You just see the frustrations. You see the mistakes made, you see good men trying to do the right thing for their cause. All the failures, and the successes. But principally the failures.” He sees this same lesson being relived through Western Civilization’s battle against radical Islam and the mistakes made over the past few years have strengthened his belief that the Washington elite, liberals and the neocons havestill have not learned the lessons of Thucydides or Halberstam, Koffler notes."

Thucydides was one of the great historians of the Pelopponesian War. Did you get to the part about the Sicilian Disaster? That's what Thucydides called it: "The Sicilian Disaster."

I find Bannon basically a"POX" on any Political Party!! He's loose CANNON and has preached HATE thru his Breitbart venue for years!! He's been unleashed by Trump ( thank your POTUS for unleashing such an IDIOT!!)

The sooner "Normal" people kick him to the side the better. Just look who he backed in Alabama ( Pedo ) that has caused such a National debate!!!!

Taping down tried and true Conservative pundits exposes the Propaganda that was exposed many years ago!! Canada actually refused to accept Fox News application to broadcast here due to their PROPAGANDA Campaigns! But their legal case saying they were an Entertainment and NOT News didn't hold water HERE!!

Fox News got blocked!! Thank Goodness!! Fair and Balanced claim has been debunked for over a decade!! Thank goodness O'Reilly got booted too!! not so far behind Ails!!

Bannon, is an aberrant predator and HATES Government, and wants nothing more than to bring down America! Why would that be?? What's his beef?? He's nothing more than a hate filled idiot who preys on anyone that has wronged him his whole life. Sounds similar to American POTUS.. No wonder Trump identified with that man!!

There are a lot of misguided geniuses and he's one of them. Nice that he's done all that reading, all that thinking. As you say, he HATES government and wants to see American come apart. Just what we do NOT need. He would do better to just make people aware and then come up with ideas for improving things, not taking the country down.

There are parallels with the fall of the Roman Empire, of course, but since he can see it so well, why can't he come up with a better fix than just letting it fall?

Blogs and posting are nothing but opinions and yes some post links to back their pions.. But unless YOU are in a courtroom dead for proof is falling a deaf ears!! Banana has constantly claimed many things against his adversaries.. but did't see any proof other than he BENT view of things!!

So, unlike Mueller investigations.. You may never ever get enough proof that you will ever accept. Sometimes biased viewpoints get swallowed and somehow for them that "Proof"!!

In short.. Propaganda is often used as proof for un-educated types and somehow when actually Items or snips of proof get exposed.. It's termed by Bots and Koolaide drinkers as "Fake".. So guess, maybe you maybe stuck and will continue to believe actual false Propaganda spread throughout the Social media sites!! With out a video replay of something ( not edited/photo-chopped) that somehow proves your " Belief System" Good luck with that!!

Gannon's history is actually well known by us OLD Folk... and one's history explains and demonstrates whomever has such history... No need to look for Judicial PROOF. Banana is a walking talking bigot and has had a HATE ON for America for decades! Asking about Bannon and racism is the LEAST of his faults!! Far too specific when one's history goes back decades of his attacks on politicians/Racist/Mysogeny/ Government in General!

Why is Bannon still in USA?? Because of the "Freedoms" what I bolded above!! ^^^ >> to do what he's been doing for decades.. Putin would have silenced him.. ceased of ALL ASSets and he'd be silenced! Other Countries too would silence him or even OFF him because he's detrimental to their power. Bonbon, enjoys the freedom to spew BS!!

Trump is attempting to SILENCE the truth/facts.. BUT America will never allow him that power.. although, he sure has succeeded in trying to delegitimize America ( as leader of Free World) undermine Branches of Government.. BUT fortunately.. when GOP realize Trump's threat He too will fail.. Just like BANNON!!

Breitbart News is His baby, have you read their stuff, they have pretty much proven they are the alt-right and have a long history of racist stands. Go read their stuff or do a google search and you will learn all you need to know.

The Unibomber thought a lot also. I'm sure many of those nuts do and did.

There are very few parallels with the Roman Empire. I could write a book about it, but

1. The Mexicans and Natives were here FIRST - so they are the "Romans and Greeks"......so acting as if they are attacking is sorta silly.

2. The Roman Empire did not have a diverse economy - it was the Army and everyone else was on welfare (some farmers, and some ruling class). So the entire setup was to work and pay taxes for protection, which was impossible to provide given the amount of land the Romans had taken.

3. Religion was a main reason for the fall of Rome. Christianity, to some degree, made people think they were all equal - something which was not true beforehand. Of course, we now have known secularly that we all have the birthright of liberty, so this is not relevant.

4. The need for lands for agriculture is not in play. We are making more food and more calories than we could every consumer - and so is Mexico.

There was no fix to the fall of Rome. Short of shrinking the Empire vastly and building something like the Great Wall of China and then developing major weapons systems, Rome could not survive. If a Wall was built, the invaders would have come by ship.

Remember, the Goths, Huns, Teutons, etc - when 20K to 300K males got killed in a single battle, it didn't matter much to them. As long as they won.......

There are no parallels because back then they were fighting for arable land. Today we have MUCH MORE than we need.

This is but one example of how a Hollywood Guy can make up a story which seem believable - but has nothing to do with reality.

And, anyway, who is say the the Urban/Welfare/Warlike culture of Rome or Greece was a good thing...to go back to? I thought guys like Bannon were against Welfare, yet these states relied 100% on giving free stuff to the population to avoid rioting.

Once again. Mr Bannon is specializing in fiction.

So you are saying if he was a Roman he wouldn't have been racist against the Huns or the Goths?

Same deal. He accuses people of other "races" (really no such thing) as being the invaders ruining our great culture and civilization. That is racist. He things white Europeans - with their history (even recent) of murdering millions of each other let alone the rest of the world - for some reason, he thinks this represents Peace and Love and a Higher Way of Being. In other words, White Superiority.

If the truth was that whites all got along and did like the Swiss did (made non-agression pacts that lasted for 100's of years), he might have a leg to stand on. But the entire story of Europe and Colonialism is one of murder, slavery, theft, etc....and I don't see where he gets the "greatness" out of this.
