I'm not muchly interested in American politics and have no opinion about Steve Bannon so far, I'm just wondering why he want to engage in European politics, what do you think is his agenda?

How would you judge him, is he an idealist whether you like his point of view or not, or is he a fraud whose interest is solely personal benefit?

Bannon is consulted by countries which have strong populist movements since he is a successful political strategist.

I was just about to start a thread about his interview at a CNBC event, Delivering Alpha, which was fascinating. This event was focused on China but as always, he veers off into many topics. If you are unfamiliar with him and only read fake news leftist, globalist media which hate him, you will be pleasantly surprised.

The same video is posted on youtube but for some reason couldn't open it

You can also find several videos on youtube in the past few months where he was interviewed by the BBC and The Telegraph which are more Eurocentric. Bannon is always a compelling speaker.

That's akin to asking what an African-American's business is with Africa.

Bannon is wanting to create a European Supergroup, and I don't mean Abba.

Steve Bannon to set up 'The Movement' foundation to boost far-right across Europe.

I think the Independent's headline covers it^^^. Bannon like Trump is looking to increase right-wing politics across Europe and the world for that matter. By right-wing they mean genetic nationalism, authoritarian loyalty over facts leadership (like the mafia), no sympathy for the "other," hawkish interest in more war, deception of the public, rejection of humanitarian, liberal or environmental activities, etal.

American right-wing media shines a bright light on every suspected terrorist case or any misbehavior by immigrants in Europe. They'll blow it out of proportion looking to scare viewers into joining their hateful and fearful agenda.

But this crap is easy, look at how easy it was for Britain to vote for BREXIT. Once won, the hard part begins and they are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Bannon, like Trump is a blowhard orator incapable of real governance and seemingly a very disturbed, unhappy person.

Modern Germany doesn't want what this chump is selling but he would have fit in real well 80 years ago.

You couldn't be more wrong. You have never heard Bannon speak, have you? Do a forum search for other threads I've posted with videos. You will be embarrassed to find out the globalists have brainwashed you.

He has found a revenue stream. Probably Russia promising him that if he needs it he can run to them if he is caught, and in the meantime they will finance him.

He also believes in what he is doing. win-win for him.

Russia Russia Russia! When Bannon was a Naval officer he served on a destroyer hunting Russian subs.

As for believing in what he is doing, shouldn't we all believe in what we are doing?
