Former Breitbart Employee Says Bannon Firing ‘The Worst Nightmare’ for Globalists

Investigative journalist and former Breitbart employee, Lee Stranahan, offered a quick quip on today’s news that Bannon has resigned from the White House, suggesting that Steve would ‘unleash the beast’ through his online publication and call out those working against the Trump agenda in the White House.

Stranahan has been a long time loyalist to Bannon and ardent opponent to several people inside Trump’s White House, namely McMaster, Powell and Cohn. The theory he’s putting forth is that Bannon will have more power outside the White House than inside. While that might be true for Steve, I fail to see how fomenting more internal strife inside the Trump White House will be constructive at this point.

Dear @POTUS :

You have not yet figured out who your real enemies in the White House are. Best of luck without Bannon. #FireMcMaster

Nevertheless, it’s about to get real interesting soon.

And kids, that's the day when Bannon the Barbarian was born…

Watch.

In this week’s episode of The Apprentice, the President fired conservative stalwart and heart of the Trump ascendancy, Steve Bannon. Critics of the President have been clamoring for Bannon’s head from day 1, due to his aggressive ‘American first’ platform, which some believe upset the globalists elite.

Finally, amidst the lowest point in Trump’s Presidency, Bannon has been removed from the White House.

Incidentally, a reporter from Circa said Steve had resigned two weeks ago.

Steve Bannon just told me he resigned from the White House two weeks ago @POTUS #Bannon

For the week, the Nasdaq shed around 1.4%. My allocation is now so bearish, I’ve moved out of the house to seek shelter inside of a nuclear fallout bunker. All of my positions are chosen using quantitative methods using the Exodus platform, so I have no artistic license when it comes to my investments anymore. Bear in mind, the program and the rules were developed by me, so in a direct way, my philosophical theories on markets, backed by big data, is the true captain of my pirate vessel.

For the week, I performed in line with the SPY — but my GLD and TLT positions trounced the indices. As a result, my allocation to both of them was increased to a record 15% a piece. In order to get to 15%, these risk off assets had to beat the SPY for 3 consecutive weeks. With 20% of my assets in cash, I am now half out of equities, with the rest of my money strewn out amongst large cap stocks — all new picks chosen today.

What does this mean?

As of right now, it means the market has been sucking giant moose nuts for at least 3 weeks. Don’t get it twisted, we’re undergoing some serious distribution. You’d be wise to protect your portfolios and prepare for the very worst.

Axios is reporting the end is near for Steve Bannon. At this point, I wouldn’t care if Bugs Bunny replaced him. As long as Steve gets to suck his own cock in private, without leaking information to the press, that’ll do.

For those watching this closely, Steve Bannon was not in Bedminster with POTUS this week and is not on AF1 with him now.

On this news, stocks jumped — because Bannon has proven to be cancer, a malignant tumor that must be exorcized from the administration and cast out far into the night.

I’ll be making my weekly asset reallocations shortly.

In July of last year, ISIS introduced the concept of mass killings by way of vehicle, killing 86, injuring another 458 — some very severely. Today, a terror cell in Spain conducted two separate vehicle attacks, killing at least 13, wounding 100.

This comes on the heels of the events in Charlottesville, which of course was an act or terror — but completely unrelated to the goals of ISIS.

Enter Wolf Blitzer and CNN’s national security expert, Jim Sciutto, who pondered out loud if in fact ISIS was inspired by the events in Charlottesville, causing them to become copycats and carry out the horrible events in Barcelona today.

This is reporting at its very worst.

If you thought the markets were immune to the destabilization of Washington, today’s session proved you wrong. Whether you like Trump or not, believe his Presidency is being sabotaged by ‘fake news’ and ‘deep state’ shills, all of that is immaterial when it comes to how it will affect markets.

As of right now, hardly anyone is supporting Trump in DC, from both sides of the aisle. Moreover, his own cabinet is leaking daily and aren’t loyal to him. Foreign leaders despise him. The media is his sworn enemy and vice versa. And now the business community of greedy vile subhumans have abandoned him.

The writing is all over the wall, folks. Here’s a statement from Sen. Corker, regarding Trump.

Stop getting upset, hyperventilating over neocons and democrats combining to form an evil Trump killing robot and deal with the facts that The Donald played this very, very poorly.

For example, why would he tweet this today, in response to the Barcelona attacks?

Study what General Pershing of the United States did to terrorists when caught. There was no more Radical Islamic Terror for 35 years!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 17, 2017

While on the campaign trail, Trump told this story about General Pershing, which cannot be proven to be correct.

“He took 50 bullets and he dipped them in pig’s blood,” Trump said. “And he had his men load his rifles and he lined up the 50 people, and they shot 49 of those people. And the 50th person, he said, ‘You go back to your people and you tell them what happened.’ And for 25 years there wasn’t a problem.”

Is it possible that this happened 100 years ago in the dank jungles of southern Philippines? Absolutely. Lots of retarded things happened back then. That doesn’t mean you should be promoting that sort of backward thinking today. What is his point, his end game here? Should we drench ISIS in pig’s blood before leveling their positions?

Earlier in the day he tweeted about the confederate monuments again, calling them beautiful.

…the beauty that is being taken out of our cities, towns and parks will be greatly missed and never able to be comparably replaced!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 17, 2017

Sure, maybe the craftsmanship of the statues are nice; but if you’re interested in beauty, I am 100% sure a government funded grant program for the arts would motivate plenty of talented citizens to come up with replacements for Stonewall Jackson’s visage.

These are inappropriate statements from a man who’s letting the pressure get to him. He isn’t acting in a serious manner. Therefore, none of his policies are being taken seriously. At this point, we might be better off with President Pence, who would have an easier time prosecuting Trump’s policies than Trump.

VIX was up more than 30% today. Fear is in the air.

Let the anti-Muslim rhetoric commence.

Muslims are going to take over the world. Therefore, you should sign up for the military and encourage your politicians to wage more wars in the Middle East. That is the only way to stop them from attacking here, by attacking them there.

Right?

Spanish police, who are treating the incident as a terrorist attack, said the “massive crash” happened on Las Ramblas in an area of the city popular with tourists.

This is the latest terrorist attack using a vehicle in Europe, following similar atrocities in Nice, Berlin and London that have claimed more than 100 lives in total.

Television pictures showed a crashed van stopped on top of a Joan Míro mosaic halfway down Las Ramblas. It reportedly entered the wide boulevard where it meets the Plaça de Catalunya, then drove towards the port area, meaning it would have covered more than 500 metres.

Police have released a picture of the suspect, Moroccan man named Driss Oukabir.

Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, academic from Yale School of Management, said during a CNBC interview today that markets would crash, should Trump’s Chief Economic Advisor, Gary Cohn, resign from the White House.

I know you’re expecting me to discard such talk as ‘blasphemy’ — but I think Jeffrey is 100% right. Markets would crash through the floor boards, AND MORE, if Goldman’s Cohn decided to resign. The only problem with Cohn resigning is that his investment bank, Goldman Sachs, probably hasn’t placed enough directional bets for this to be a profitable expedition just yet. I do not believe the former #2 guy at Goldman would do such a rash thing, wholly emotional and without a motive for extreme profit.

A spokesman for Cohn roundly denied today’s rumors that he’d resign.

Gary Cohn said to be deeply upset by last few days, per multiple sources. Not leaving admin but not happy

Nevertheless, markets are in free fall mode today — with the Dow off by 200 and the NASDAQ by 92. Both gold and bonds are higher as the tumult and losses are being distributed rather evenly. Since Trump has been bragging about the stock markets gains, I fully expect markets to get dislodged here soon, leading to the eventual collapse of his agenda and subsequent impeachment from the office of President. Following his Presidency, I would not be surprised to learn that Mueller found wrong doings with his dealings with Russia, which would then lead to the prosecution of him and members of his family — who would then spend the rest of their lives in prison.

For now, you’re in the prison, with Trump on the outside menacing you with his evil ways. He’s planning to build walls, ‘bring back’ low paying jobs, and do all sorts of things that are un-American.

Presently, and as of last week, I have 10% in GLD, 10% in TLT, 20% cash and 60% equities.

I know this might come as a surprise to some of you, but I’m not a fan of any monuments. As a matter of fact, I generally despise government propaganda who actively turns mediocre to bad men into Saints. I do not buy into the notion that ‘it was a different time’ back then and we should give our forefathers a pass for being vile scum.

Look, you don’t need to be enlightened to understand that having a slave is wrong. There were plenty of good men back then who were against slavery, including John Adams. I don’t know about you, but I hate all the hatred. “The Fly” just wants to live in peace, gently tossing old men down sewer drains, having a grand old time getting inebriated off fine liquor.

Let me make a point.

Jesse Owens won 4 olympic medals during the 1936 games in Munich. He was not invited to the White House by FDR because he was black. Moreover, FDR did not support anti-lynching legislation, proposed by the GOP, because he didn’t want to lose his southern constituency.

Worse of all, FDR interned 120,000 Japanese Americans and held them prisoners for a period of three years — based solely on their nationality. People who had as little as 1/16th Japanese ancestry were detained for reasons none other than vicious racism. And you mean to tell me that I should revere this man, FDR, a person who I have nothing in common with and do not wish to have any influence over my children?

It’s easy to look up to people, because we all want to believe the lie. It’s nice to think there are others out there better than us, making society better, doing great things for the sake of humanity. But at the very nexus of humanity is empathy and kindness.

Was FDR a kind man? Absolutely not.

With regards to confederate statues: We should stop permitting this to be a movement led by antagonistic leftists. Instead, it should be an intellectual debate to be decided on in the ballot boxes. There are no good reasons to have statues of confederate generals inside American cities.

But we shouldn’t stop there. How bout Abe Lincoln?

He was an ardent racist, caused the deaths of over 600,000+ Americans and laid waste to the south, burned their cities and economy to the ground. History books tell us he did it to free the slaves, but that isn’t the whole truth. It was an economic war. And on the topic of slavery, what would you call fresh off the boat Irish immigrants being forced to fight for the north in a war that was likely to see them dead inside a few short months? Do you mean to tell me that isn’t a type of slavery?

Dr. Steve Pieczenik discusses Lincoln, calling him ‘mentally ill’ — the Pol Pot of the south, a truly disgraceful and reprehensible American leader who wanted to ship black people to Liberia.

Corporate America is taking action where the President is not. They are actively seeking out and destroying anyone who attended the Charlottesville rally, holding tiki torches, saying vile and disgusting things.

Paypal has announced they cut off payments to the account associated with the Charlottesville rally organizer, Jason Kessler.

The Southern Poverty Law center said that PayPal payments were funding Kessler’s organization. Therefore, PayPal announced that they’ve suspended more than three dozen accounts linked to hate groups, including Kessler’s.

Franz Paasche, VP of corporate affairs at PayPal writes:

“Regardless of the individual or organization in question, we work to ensure that our services are not used to accept payments or donations for activities that promote hate, violence or racial intolerance,” Paasche wrote. “This includes organizations that advocate racist views, such as the KKK, white supremacist groups or Nazi groups.”

“If we become aware of a website or organization using our services that may violate our policies, our highly trained team of experts addresses each case individually and carefully evaluates the website itself, any associated organizations, and their adherence to our policy,” he continued. “Ultimately, this team of professionals makes a recommendation that leads to the final determination on our ability to maintain our relationship with the website’s owner.”

It’s over Nazis. If you want to practice your form of hatred, you’ll need to do it overseas. Judging by the political climate, you’ll likely need to relocate to the Middle East, providing they don’t seize you and saw off your heads for being an infidel American.

Here’s one of those so called white supremacists, crying over recent events, scared of being killed by police.

It’s over fascists. America has defeated you again. Time to climb back into your time machines and head back to Hitler’s Germany, so that you can relive his unseemly end.
