*Transnational Organized Criminals
Bannon has won high-profile endorsements from far-right political leaders — most notably Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban washingtonpost.com/politics/a-nat…
📌Bannon was a key architect of President Trump’s America First doctrine, has now set his sights on igniting that brand of nationalism in the rest of the world. washingtonpost.com/politics/a-nat…
⚠️Bannon argues that nationalist and populist forces, in part inspired by Trump, are poised to claim political power in capitals from Pakistan to Japan to Australia, Brazil and Colombia, and he says he’s on the horn to all of them.⚠️ washingtonpost.com/politics/a-nat…
⚠️”We’re open for business,” Bannon says. “We’re a populist, nationalist NGO, and we’re global.”
But first, Europe, where Bannon started the week here in the Italian capital before heading to the Czech Republic, Hungary and beyond.⚠️
⚠️Bannon said he is trying to build The Movement into a “connective tissue” that offers nationalist and populist political parties across Europe U.S. know-how in polling, messaging and “war-room” strategy for responding immediately to political attacks. washingtonpost.com/politics/a-nat…
📌Bannon explains his strategy harnessing the power of HorseShoe Theory
👉🏼Bannon says that the unusual coalition-of-extremes government in Italy shows that populists and nationalists on the left and the right can put aside old dogma & govern together...
📌The conflict in Syria continues to be by far the biggest driver of migration.
📌But the ongoing violence in Afghanistan and Iraq, abuses in Eritrea, as well as poverty in Kosovo, are also leading people to look for new lives elsewhere.
📌More than a million migrants & refugees crossed into EU in 2015, sparking a crisis as countries struggled to cope w/ the influx, & creating division in the EU over how best to deal w/ resettling people.
White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, as leader of U.S. Southern Command in 2014, said that cartels and gangs, fueled by the U.S. demand for drugs, “have left near-broken societies in their wake.” brookings.edu/blog/future-de…
📌A report from Doctors Without Borders (MSF) states that these Northern Triangle countries are experiencing “unprecedented levels of violence outside a war zone” and that “citizens are murdered with impunity, brookings.edu/blog/future-de…
📌...kidnappings and extortion are daily occurrences. Non-state actors perpetuate insecurity and forcibly recruit individuals into their ranks, and use sexual violence as a tool of intimidation and control.” #TOC#Mob brookings.edu/blog/future-de…
📌Intentional homicides (per 100,000 people) - Country Ranking
📌📌Bannon goal is to exploit the Far Right’s FEAR of immigrants & exploit the Left’s EMPATHY for same & in so doing polarize & weaponize the narratives to incite conflict.
📌📌Notice how ICE & Border Control agencies have been demonized & weaponized?
📌Who benefits if border control agencies are abolished?
👉🏼Transnational Organized Criminals because these agencies hinder their smuggling operations.
📌📌Again let’s look at Trump/GOP/Bannon’s PROJECTION accusation:
📌’DEMs want open borders,’ which is false, because of course the reverse is true:
📌TOC want open borders so smuggling routes can operate w/o hindrance. Get it?
‼️Violence caused mass migration was intentional- meant to destabilize Western Liberal Democracy while Transnational Organized Criminals pushed anti immigrant false narratives = conflict.
📌Bannon has run up against questions about fascism, about whether nationalism and populism, if unchecked, can lead to authoritarianism and suppression of political opposition = ergo the wet dream of AuthoritarianDictators/TOC. Get if?
📌Steve Bannon: Italian experiment ‘will change global politics’
The former strategist for Trump wants to mobilize and unite Europe's populists — on the left and right. politico.eu/article/steve-…
Bannon:”A populist party w/ nationalist tendencies like the 5Stars, & a nationalist party with populist tendencies like the League … it’s imperative that this works because this shows a model for [destroying] industrial democracies from the US to Asia.”

On Feb. 3, long-time Trump associate Felix Sater filed a cross-complaint in a NY federal court. The complaint alleges that Russian and Kazakhstan-connected individuals and entities conducted “a shadow intelligence operation of Sater and Trump. 🙄😂🙄 thefederalist.com/2022/02/04/law…
Please join me on a photo tour of beautiful & tranquil Père-Lachaise cemetery?
A visit to the Père-Lachaise cemetery is always on my itinerary — it is always so relaxing exploring the paths, lanes & trails as you always see something new & different & leave feeling relaxed.
This 1995 infrared photo is my favorite and standard I seek to duplicate each time I visit Père-Lachaise cemetery. 🤷♀️
Infrared photography is #oldskoll, but today I played in PhotoShop to see if I could render my newer color images w/ similar effects achieved as infrared film.
Here is a color image & its twin “infrared” rendered version.
Woodward book: Worried Trump could 'go rogue,' Milley took top-secret action to protect nuclear weapons cnn.com/2021/09/14/pol…
Gen. Milley 'was certain that Trump had gone into a serious mental decline in the aftermath of the election, with Trump now all but manic, screaming at officials and constructing his own alternate reality about endless election conspiracies.'
Milley's fear was based on his own observations of Trump's erratic behavior. His concern was magnified by the events of January 6 and the 'extraordinary risk' the situation posed to US national security, the authors write.
