1st of 2 Updates: If you watch the following segment, you might be forgiven for thinking that @SteveKBannon might be reading my analyses...again! (Yes, he read them during the 2016 campaign.)

@SteveKBannon 2nd of 2 Updates (with a thought or two to follow): As we'll discuss just a bit below, when psychological warfare is based on lies, 50 years of investment can collapse in, who knows, maybe 50 weeks. Consider this story:

@SteveKBannon 50 years? I date that from roughly 1972 and the Nixon/China thaw. Chairman Mao never had the slightest illusions about America, and the fact that we were China's ultimate and greatest enemy. But, the enemy of my enemy being my friend, he allied with us against USSR.
@SteveKBannon I won't let myself get bogged down in the long history of communism and its perpetual pull upon America and the world. China is, however, merely the current most powerful and virulent user of that hellacious drug. At any rate, the 50 or so years since Nixon is our time frame.
@SteveKBannon During these 50 years, China has meticulous crafted its global image. This has been one of the most sustained and successful psychological warfare operations in human history. The problem is, it's been all based on lies. And that's why the Chernobyl example is so important.
@SteveKBannon Communist nations, especially the big, expansive, proselytizing ones, simply cannot handle true stress. Or perhaps, I should say, they can't handle the special stress of truth. When their power is all based on lies, the inoculation against those lies is inescapable truth.
@SteveKBannon The truth is that it was communism that caused Chernobyl. And, the truth is that it is communism that has caused Coronavirus. It never needed to be a disaster, let alone a catastrophe, let alone a global catastrophe. You have to let that sink in. This is communism's consequence.
@SteveKBannon When I first made the tie between Coronavirus and Chernobyl - and yes, I do believe I was the first to do so - I was not, and still am not able to predict the impending fall of the Communist Party in China. But, as these consequences spiral, the likelihood grows.
@SteveKBannon That's why the Miami story is so very, very important. Like a pin bursting a bubble, the image of China's near infinite power pops. We've been told this will be the Chinese Century, and by that, we should have realized was meant the final victory of communism.
@SteveKBannon Deceitful psychological warfare collapses in the face of truth. Remember that. We're going to be hearing a great deal more about the irresistible allure of communism as this election year rolls forward. Yet China's power is falling. Not just due to Coronavirus...
@SteveKBannon It's important to understand, the China economy all these decades has been built upon siphoning the wealth of America. As Trump as simply said 'no more,' their economy has fallen as ours has skyrocketed. Again, Trump's economic miracle is not merely based on that one factor.
@SteveKBannon The Trump economy is a genius pastiche of policies from deregulation through tax reduction to business friendly and freedom friendly. But it is also built upon defeating our enemies at the negotiating table, and we all know, no one does it better! (Lighthizer is pretty good too!)
@SteveKBannon Finally for this morning, I have to simply emphasize, watch how this catastrophe develops. And, dream the dream of the fall of the Communist Party in China. This may not be the cause, or it may. But in any case, when it finally does fall, this will have been part of the story.
@SteveKBannon CORRECTION: I'm pretty sure the Steve Bannon account above is NOT the actual man. If anyone can find the right account, or determine he's not on Twitter, I'd be grateful. Thanks to @mflixx for the catch!
