Eagle claw. That was Jimmy Carter. Trying to get the American hostages out

Too bad he didn't know that Republicans were working against him already making a deal with the Iranians to hold them until after Reagan got inaugurated.

Bannon?

.., a failed effort to save 52 embassy staff members from Tehran ordered by Jimmy Carter. In a 2015 interview, Steve stated that this marked a turning point in his political stance, turning him into a "Reaganite". This ideology of a battle between "good and evil" can be...

I wouldn't doubt in the least if Bannon is the reason that operation failed now, wouldn't put anything past Republicans after they made that deal with Iran to hold on to the hostages so Reagan could claim victory.

And then make more deals with them

clearly seen in his rhetoric. He's also been influenced by the so-called Fourth Turning theory which predicts that we are entering a phase where populism, nationalism and state-run authoritarianism will be on the rise around the world.

In 2007, Bannon was a founding member of the website Breitbart News,later describing it as "the platform for the alt-right".Time journalist Philip Elliott said that the site pushes "racist, sexist, xenophobic and antisemitic material into the vein of the alternative right".

Former editor of Breitbart, Ben Shapiro, called Steve a "bully" who "sold out" the website's original idea to back up Trump. In 2018, Breitbart funders Robert & Rebekah Mercer got rid of him,allegedly due to his "impulsive and attention-seeking antics" and high expenditures.

Bannon served in the board of Cambridge Analytics, acting as its vice president. This company was also owned by the Mercer family, and it allegedly deployed illegal tactics in targeting US voters in the 2016 presidential election. Former Analytica employee, Christopher...

So many weird theories

tempura13.bsky.social•94 days ago

4th Turning refers to the nascent and current USA, where a transformational crisis occurs every 80 years or so:
1 King Phillip’s War
2 The American Revolution
3 The Civil War
4 WWI, the Great Recession, WWII
5. The reshaping of our nation by Trump and his acolytes.

so he went to a guy who backdoored a deal to hold hostages two extra months, sold missiles to Iran, used the money to support SA politics in violation of congressional ban

Thank you Pekka, this disgusting piece of hobo pig vomit doesn't get as much credit as he deserves. Thank you for highlighting it.

Can’t wait until new management in Moscow will expose these traitors to save their own asses toward west. Putins fantasy empire will collapse and he will die in bunker just like his idol Hitler.

dmetrikepi.bsky.social•92 days ago

You ever talk about his Nazi occult connections? Cause I tested it and it came back positive.

pistone.bsky.social•94 days ago

Holy crap, what the hell has the Republican Party turned into? Dignity? American values? Reputation? Yeah, right - those feel like relics from some alternate reality now.

martinakraus.bsky.social•89 days ago

Bannon is evil and dangerous. He influences also Germany, Austria, probably the hole world with his cruel far-right fucking ideas.

gracefellina.bsky.social•94 days ago

Good to know the crooked way of Bannon!

chickenlady.bsky.social•94 days ago

Yes, he is the link between Dugin weird woolgathering and all the rich, bored women, who are grateful for the attention & someone giving them "cause" to fight for: a new Christian empire.

Steve Bannon's influence on the domestic politics of other countries has been vastly under-discussed, despite his efforts to unify global far-right populists. Figures like him should spark greater concern, as their sole aim is to dismantle democracy in favor of the few.

christofbrehmer.bsky.social•94 days ago

The sad thing is that this evil seed, planted in Europe's far-right parties, is still sprouting. The simplicity, not to say stupidity, of right-wing slogans is still catching on.

Simple stupidity 😖

This bastard should spend rest of his life in prison, not just 4 months 🤬 All he is doing is direct attack on democracy and freedom by collaboration with Moscow. Traitor!
