Friends,
Those who know me know that I have no use for Steve Bannon and his pro-Papist and pro-Zionist agenda (he is what I refer to as a “national-Zionist”). But let’s not deny that the man is clever and well connected. He also understands US politics. He just gave an interview to Tucker Carlson and I have to say that I fully share his analysis of the situation. So, exceptionally for this blog, I bring you Steve Bannon and his take on what will happen this Fall.
The Saker
LOL. You know this neocon fraudster & loonie Bannon well.
Like in the past, America is going down the drain no matter who gets “elected.”
The Establishment will be the only winner.
How am I supposed to believe Tucker Carlson and Bannon and Trump are not part of the establishment? People do understand there can be more than one establishment or even different wings under the same establishment?
No matter who gets elected America is going down the drain… Agreed!
It will be a beautiful thing to watch. The plight of the Palestinians looks positive in comparison to the plight of the flag waving Americans
This doesn’t really seem all that “prescient” of Bannon, because the TIP folks, Hillary, etc. have already announced what the plan is.
That is, Hillary has made the public statement that is the tip of the iceberg: Biden will not concede under any circumstances.
And the TIP document shows the rest of the iceberg: the planning, the strategies, the gaming, etc.
And allows anyone with fifth-grade—OK, maybe tenth-grade—reading ability to fill in all the blanks from the document, and just from watching the rest of the news.
The big questions are still out there, though: Who will go along with the TIP’s plans, and how?
Or will someone come along and arrest all of the plotters who have put their names on that document?
Katherine
Katherine,
“… Hillary has made the public statement … : Biden will not concede under any circumstances …”
Then … are the crazed Democrats actually planning (!) a civil war?… (In which case, wouldn’t the President declaring a good old martial law be the only solution? The military is more trustworthy than most politicians anyway.)
Am I the only one who noticed that the Democrats have all conceded that they have lost the election? When that Hillary thing told Biden not to concede — that was the admission the election was lost. Speaker Pelosi has made other remarks about how the party should react to the loss of the election.
You don’t talk that way if you expect to win. And you don’t say such things mere weeks before the election unless you anticipate a catastrophic loss.
Now, having established that the election is lost, how are we going to spice up the pottage? I know: we’ll burn the cities down. It’s simple, easy, and great video!
Have you ever noticed that the events most spectacularly anticipated are the ones which never happen?
Another way to phrase the question is: if the Deep State is going to pull an Election Day revolution on us, how come everybody already knows about it? The burning cities in response to the electin have been predicted to the point of not going to happen.
We have not just been drinking the Kool Aid, we have been swimming in it.

And Katherine: I always admire your posts. And would you please not sign on as both Anonymous and Katherine? The world is confusing enough already.
Thanks, Ed!
Sorry, it is pure laziness—not going down to the next box!
I’ll try to do better.
I agree that announcing the revolution might seem to mean it is not going to happen.
But there is another possible view re “drinking the Kool-Aid,” which is that this series of events are “planted” ideas that then grow in the public’s mind and are in effect an attempt to influence the vote. First, the seed is planted that Trump will not concede if he loses. This seed was planted as soon as he won in Nov. 2016. Then the next seed is that, given the first seed, voting for Trump will bring about chaos. So, the syllogism is: Don’t vote for Trump. I.e., it is blackmailing the voting public.
I lean toward the latter view, that the leaks are intentional, but I don’t know. What do others think? .
Question: Did the TIP intend for their plans to become public?
This is relevant because it changes the “intentional” landscape.
Someone linked Tucker Carlson’s interview re Norm Eisen.
Do the Eisen-TIP camp intend for the public to know that they (the public) are being subjected to a color revolution?
The news is bad both ways, because if the leaks are intentional, then this is political terrorism, right?
If they are not intentional, then it is a Deep State conspiracy, right?
Of course the “intentional” scenario is also the result of a conspiracy.
Katherine
Katherine: the questions you raised are illustrative of my own thinking process when I compose a note like the one above. It always feels like I am raising many more questions than answers. I am stuck trying to keep the note to a reasonable size, and have to make assumptions about what readers will find to be obvious.
What I did see is that the pundit and political classes have romanticized this election into the biggest thing in the last four centuries (and the next two). The essentially American child-like view of the world makes this kind of thing pretty much inevitable. And this reality is not the result of some Deep State plot. The opportunity arose out of a preexisting condition, on which they are surely capitalizing.
But when I discuss fantasies about the election, I am not saying that the bad guys are not trying to create harm, or that they are not dangerous.
I have no doubt that the seed planting you discuss in your note is going on. The underlying worry in my post is: OK we can see through this level of the scheme, and probably what we anticipate will not happen. My worry is that it will hit us from some totally different aspect, for example, something that renders the entire election event moot, that catches all of us down the street prepared to put out a different fire.
Hi, Ed,
In other words I think you are expressing what Paul Craig Roberts has said (and it was linked somewhere around here recently), that the seed planting is actually a cover story for something else that is waiting in the wings.
We already have one unplanned “something else” in the death of RBG, may she rest in peace.
But are there planned “something else’s” in the saboteurs’ tool kit?
The much talked-about “October Surprise” is another “secret ingredient” to worry about.
Pompeo is the greatest indictment of Trump.
How can Rapture Boy be sidelined?
Pompeo makes me think about voting for Biden. Ugh.
Then it’s Nuland whiplash.
We are being inundated with s—.
So no one can think straight.
Maybe Trump should state right now that any post-election rioting or non-permitted demos will be met with force to protect America’s neighborhoods, and her police stations and post offices. Then if any “peaceful demonstrations” are being planned to morph into riots, planners can either put their name on the permit, so that they can be held responsible for any problems, or they can change their plans.
I wonder what would happen if Trump declared martial law during and after the election to preempt any of these TIP plans. Surely some of these plans break laws, at the very least, election laws, that is, they constitute disrupting a national election. What do we have the FBI for?
Surely if someone showed a copy to Barr of what Whitney Webb and Mike Whitney have shown the public, a judge could be found who would issue some kind of prior restraint against public gatherings until all ballots are counted, or some such. We already have restraints on public gatherings, which no one (that I know of) has questioned or legally challenged. So why not just extend?
Katherine
Katherine,
Not having a slightest clue what you meant by “TIP”, I looked up on the web, Removed. Mod.
Please explain!
Thank you!!!
It means the “Transition Integrity Project”. Mod.
.
Sorry I didn’t write it out.
Both Whitney Webb and Mike Whitney have reports up now that describe the Transition Integrity Project, list the prime movers, provide excerpts from their actual “playbook,” etc.
I highly recommend reading.
Mike Whitney’s is at the Unz Review.
Whitney Webb’s is at LastAmericanVagabond.com.
It seems like TIP is basically peopled by Dem operatives of various sorts—yet at the same time it has been reported that many neocons have left Trump and are nosing around the Biden camp.
Katherine
This idea that the election is over and decided at midnight on Election Day won’t work. ALL votes have to be counted or else the will of the people is being ignored. I don’t disagree with his conclusion that Trump will win, but if Trump announces that he’s the winner before mail-in ballots have been counted, the Democrats and the media will be correct in rejecting that claim. I don’t think he needs to cheat and I doubt the Democrats could cheat enough to come out on top.
Another Tucker’s interview worth watching (4 and a half minutes), with Dr. Darren Beattle, former Trump’s speech writer and visiting professor of political science professor Duke University.
Who reveals that the specialists in “colour revolutions” in Eastern Europe and elsewhere, and the current plotters to oust Trump, are one and the same – now using exactly the same “colour revolutions play-book” written by their legal hatchet man, the notorious Norman Eisen.

Thanks for that. Very interesting. I wish Tucker had not had to cut off Beattie. Maybe he will have Beattie on the show again soon to finish the rundown on just waht this Norm Eisen guy is planning for the US of A post-election.

When you see the kind of State gangterism/terrorism Pompeo who for me is the REAL Potus(Trump has just zero power he surrendered to the zio neocons).Pompeo is maybe even worse than Bolton.Look at who is behind Navalnygate,Belarus colour revolution,he is travelling to Brazil today to organise a coup against Maduro and some say that the oct surprise is for next week or the one after against Iran of course.A false flag is being prepared against Iranian ships which will be the perfect pretext for some kind of fake nationalistic war.Of course it will fail as usual.I’m not a Biden fan of course,but is there any difference between a Pompeo(Trump)potus and a Biden(Nuland,return of Bolton etc)?It is to choose between cholera and ebola.
Their main goal remains to destroy Russia by all means possible.The US is not a democracy,it is the new 4th Reich(with the EU idiots doing the dirty job in Europe,mainly UK/MI6).
Pompeo is a psychopath like all evangelists(who are even more zionists than the jews).They are waiting for ‘rapture’,which means if I’m not wrong in thei crazy brains:armageddon somewhere in Syria,to create the Greater Israel,the coming of their fake Meshia(?),Christians and muslims killing each others before.Then they will be the master of a NWO with Jerusalem as Capital city.Every jew will get 17 remaining christians or muslims slaves to serve their Zio Masters.
I know this is total BS(gog and Magog etc),but the big problem is they 100% believe it,they are ready to destroy the World for it.Maybe Biden,who said yesterday that Russia was not an ennemy but a competitor is less dangerous?You don’t find evangelists in the dems or very few.Neocons a lot,but neocons à la Kissinger know where they must stop and not cross the redlines.Who delivered Leathal weapons to the ukies(javelins)?Who killed rusians in Syria?Who was behind the Skripalgate,the Navalnygate.Who is trying to destroy NS2?Answer is Trump.Trump is the deep state as well.Obama was and idiot but more prudent…the situation of the RF is 50 times worse after 4 years of Trump than after Obama,these are facts.

Yes, they want war to save their ass, but in every scenario they lose. They are desperate. And while they are desperately looking for a solution the tools of their power are eroding and falling apart.
Steve Bannon is a media expert. Now here he may be right or he may be wrong, but he and Tucker Carlson played the fear card. He left it of on that cliffhanger .. ‘and then the war starts’. Bannon is also an expert at using fear to present his message – that is clear if you study the guy. My question is what is the good of one turkey, or another turkey presented in the US today, if one has to scare the population half to death to make them vote? Bannon did this in Brazil as well. He is scaring his listeners half to death on China, while running a hard campaign for color revolution in China – even buying young Chinese virologists to support what he says. Can nobody see the Bannon process here?
Bannon and others like himself like wrap themselves in the flag and portray themselves as uber-patriotic Americans.
And whilst there is nothing wrong with that patriotism, in and of itself, the fact of the matter is – you cant be a patriotic American and a zealous, uncritical supporter of Israel at the same time.
Both are incompatible, because Israel’s aims and ambitions run counter to US national interests.
So whenever I see “patriots” like Bannon, my litmus test is to see how that “patriotism” stacks up against their support for Israel.
They almost always fail the test.
They are fake patriots if they cant say unconditional US support for Israel is untenable and is a factor in America’s decline.
Selah
“They are fake patriots if they cant say unconditional US support for Israel is untenable and is a factor in America’s decline.
Right.
Just waiting for Tucker or someone else in the MSM to state this loud and clear.
Why can’t Bannon get a haircut and wash his face? He looks positively greasy.
Katherine
“Why can’t Bannon get a haircut and wash his face? He looks positively greasy.”
Katherine, remember that doc “the Lobby USA”, where some guy let the cat out of the bag? “We use a lot of alcohol to get them to trust us.” Although Bannon sounds totally sober here, to be fair. For all I know he’s T-Total. Interesting history of the (American-origin) term T-Total, and our national love/hate/can’t-deal-with-it affair with the dreaded alk. Too bad for the Empire, Americans never really learned how to drink. (The concept of the Long Island Iced Tea comes to mind…) Compare the jolly beer garden of old Deutschland with the depressing US airport bar. Bannon looks like someone I might meet in the latter, joining them in obliterating the prospect of flying post-911.
You can never tell these days. All kinds of gawdawful totally legal psych drugs inundating DC and everywhere else, can you imagine Biden’s runner’s routine trip to Walgreens?
Or maybe B is just flushed and has never touched the sauce, ever. Not throwing stones from a glass house at Bannon, it does seem to me the booze is off the charts in 2020, to quote Roger W., “it can’t be helped and there’s a lot of it about…”
You are right. He does look like he is high on something, or half sloshed.
Looks kinda like a lush to me.
Especially n ext to squeaky-clean Tucker!!
Katherine
The dynamics of the Election Campaign just changed with the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. This opening in the Supreme Court will galvanize the extreme conservatives and Evangelicals to get out a massive vote for Trump.
Trump will push for a fast nomination and confirmation process. The Dems will ignite their street fighters as protestors. This will help Trump gain ground with the Independents who are moving toward him because of all the killing of cops and burning of cities by Antifa and BLM rioters.
Trump likes the chaos the Dems are happy to provide. He believes it solidifies the Undecideds, the Independents and the Conservatives who don’t like him and his style but want his policies.
Wit the coming chaos of the Mail-In ballots coming, it will be imperative to have 9 Justices on the Court to sort out the final tally if it is close.
Trump got a gift from RBG who held out in her battle with cancer until this moment. She may have insured his re-election.
The Second Amendment, Pro-Life, Blue Line Support and terrified property owners will not want another Liberal or Wild Progressive to sit on the Court for the next quarter-century.
Ever since Bannon made himself visible around the 2016 charade, everyone has been wondering, how come Trump could rely on such an obvious alcoholic bum?
But then, just scratching the surface of Trump himself one might be quite surprised by the finds.
F. William Engdahl did some such homework in March 2016, prior to those elections: https://journal-neo.org/2016/03/20/a-mafia-don-with-a-pompadour/
and then in November 2016, just after the elections: https://journal-neo.org/2016/11/25/the-dangerous-deception-called-the-trump-presidency/
Let me quote just a couple of passages from the first link above:
“…
Trump’s early mentor in the ways of doing slick, shady construction business in New York was one of the sleaziest characters in New York, a lawyer named Roy Cohn.
…
Cohn, who was pronounced dead of AIDS in 1986 and was described by [Nicholas von] Hoffman [Cohn’s biographer] as, “the best-known non-show-business homosexual in the country,” was the attorney for a notorious cocaine-snorting Manhattan nightclub in the late 1970’s called Studio 54.
Hoffman wrote of the orgies at Studio 54 held by Cohn, “For special celebrities, the wildest parties were held in the basement … with high society’s homosexuals, transsexuals and transvestites…” Cohn held some of his biggest birthday bangs, attended on at least one occasion by, “the important officials of the Democratic, Republican, and Conservative parties, most of the city’s major elected officials, a number of Congressmen, the Chief Judge of the United States District Court and Roy’s usuals … Donald Trump.”
Donald Trump, organized crime lawyer, Roy Cohn, and cocaine orgies in the basement of Studio 54 attended by judges and politicians of every party? In an interview Trump even described one such Studio 54 orgy he attended: “I would watch supermodels getting screwed, well-known supermodels getting screwed, on a bench in the middle of the room. There were seven of them and each one was getting screwed by a different guy. This was in the middle of the room.” He omitted to say whether he was among that seven.
In the 1970’s when Trump was in his 20’s he hired Roy Cohn as his attorney and “fixer” as he took over his father’s New York real estate and construction business. Trump and Cohn were regular companions at Studio 54 where Cohn was the lawyer. Trump reportedly even kept a photo of Cohn in his office.
In 1979, Cohn introduced Trump to a political dirty-tricks specialist named Roger Stone. …
…”
It is worth reading the rest.
All wars will be internally from now on. No nuclear country will risk starting Armageddon. Nations will only plunder wealth from within its own borders.
