Bannon's Plan To Spark A Right-Wing Revolution In Europe
Exclusive: Hellfire Club. "Inside Bannon's Plan to Hijack Europe for the Far-Right," Nico Hines, Daily Beast, July 20, 2018.
Bannon is moving to Europe to set up The Movement, a populist foundation to rival George Soros and spark a right-wing revolt across the continent.
LONDONSteve Bannon plans to go toe-to-toe with George Soros and spark a right-wing revolution in Europe.
Trumps former White House chief advisor told The Daily Beast that he is setting up a foundation in Europe called The Movement which he hopes will lead a right-wing populist revolt across the continent starting with the European Parliament elections next spring. The non-profit will be a central source of polling, advice on messaging, data targeting, and think-tank research for a ragtag band of right-wingers who are surging all over Europe, in many cases without professional political structures or significant budgets.
Bannons ambition is for his organization ultimately to rival the impact of Soross Open Society, which has given away $32 billion to largely liberal causes since it was established in 1984.
Over the past year, Bannon has held talks with right-wing groups across the continent from Nigel Farage and members of Marine Le Pens Front National (recently renamed Rassemblement National) in the West, to Hungarys Viktor Orban and the Polish populists in the East. He envisions a right-wing supergroup within the European Parliament that could attract as many as a third of the lawmakers after next Mays Europe-wide elections. A united populist bloc of that size would have the ability to seriously disrupt parliamentary proceedings, potentially granting Bannon huge power within the populist movement.
After being forced out of the White House following internal wranglings that would later surface in the book Fire and Fury, Bannon is now reveling in the opportunity to plot his new European empire. I'd rather reign in hell, than serve in heaven, he said, paraphrasing John Miltons Satan in Paradise Lost.
...Bannon is convinced that the coming years will see a drastic break from decades of European integration. Right-wing populist nationalism is what will happen. Thats what will govern, he told The Daily Beast. You're going to have individual nation states with their own identities, their own borders. The grassroots movements are already in place waiting for someone to maximize their potential. It will be instantaneousas soon as we flip the switch," he said...

He's the worst kind of republican...The kind that is otherwise smart enough to not believe a single syllable of his own bullshit, but will use it as an easy vehicle to make himself rich off the human suffering of others.
