Angela's Rants
Bannon, former executive chairman of Breitbart News, the online, far right brother of the Alt-Right the white supremacist organization, appears to be a Neo-Nazi. He is now the White House’s chief strategist. I equate this highly intelligent man with Joseph Goebbels, who developed Hitler’s State propaganda agenda, and Bannon, himself, has admitted adapting Nazi propaganda techniques to defeat Clinton.
Now that Bannon has “sworn” to protect the Constitution of the United States, we can expect him to roll out his propaganda machine. And indeed he has. Today, he told the press to “shut up.”
Totalitarian governments need to establish clear lines between the “them” and “us.” They need to vilify the enemy, objectify them, dehumanize them. They must create distrust of the “free” press or eliminate it entirely. Attacks on the media and individuals have just begun, although hints existed from the beginning.
Bannon has jokingly referred to himself as “Darth Vader.” I thank him for that revealing statement. These people always tell you who they are and what they intend to do. Bannon obviously knows he has slipped into the “dark side,” and that his role is to destroy the opposition and anyone who speaks against the administration.
While we are living today, now in the United States of America, and while Steve Bannon is not a fictional character, we need to remember that in real life, people like him do not last. Like Joseph Goebbels, they destroy themselves in the end.
Those of you who cherish a free press must step in and support those journalists who will be facing some of the most difficult, frightening, possibly violent attacks ever seen in our land. We need journalists to keep exposing these monsters, and we need to remain vigilant. Enemies of our republic, like vampires, don’t do well in the full light of day.
The Power Beside the Throne

One man to watch is Steve Bannon. In my opinion, he’s the rabid dog who will serve as Trump’s Propaganda Minister. Remember that this is the guy who began developing the propaganda war against Hillary Clinton years before she was nominated. He developed a playbook laying out the entire strategy and the goose-stepping Trumpers followed it to her glorious defeat.
Some people have even tagged him “the most dangerous operative in America.”
Everyone is entitled to my opinion.
