Bannon says Tr*ump is acting as a vehicle of divine providence. This is an old authoritarian propaganda theme.

"It won't interfere with the current building. It won't be. It'll be near it but not touching it, and pays total respect to the existing building, which I'm the biggest fan of. It's my favourite place. I love it." - Donald Trump, July 2025

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

COMMENTARY: Charlie Kirk was shot in Utah today. And so were schoolchildren in Colorado. Because of the sick delusion that violence solves problems. None of us is safe.

Unbelievable.
“I was kidnapped. The conditions are inhumane. Packed like sardines. A man dropped dead and they just moved us aside… It’s not just criminals. I had all my papers in order. They’re just looking for numbers.”

Watch. Share.
