Trump gives National Security Council seat to ex-Breitbart chief Steve Bannon

[GrizzlyBear]

[quote] President Donald Trump granted controversial adviser Steve Bannon a regular seat at meetings of the National Security Council on Saturday, in a presidential memorandum that brought the former Breitbart publisher into some of the most sensitive meetings at the highest levels of government.

The president named Bannon to the council in a reorganization of the NSC. He also said his chief-of-staff Reince Priebus would have a seat in the meetings.

Trump also said the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and the director of national intelligence, two of the most senior defense chiefs, will attend meetings only when discussions are related to their “responsibilities and expertise”. Barack Obama and George W Bush both gave the men in those roles regular seats on the council.

In an interview with the New York Times this week, Bannon called the press “the opposition party” and said it should “keep its mouth shut”. He has previously described himself as “a Leninist” and an “economic nationalist”.

Before he caught the ear of Trump while the businessman was a candidate, Bannon oversaw Breitbart news, a website that has featured racist and sexist articles. Like Trump, he entered government with no experience in public service.

The bit that I find even more bizarre is that the Joint Chiefs chairman, and the director of national intelligence [I]won't[/I] get regular seats at the meetings; only when the meetings directly involve their responsibilities and expertise. What possible expertise could Bannon have that comes close to being even a fraction as valuable as theirs?

They are primarily concerned with actual facts, which is detrimental to the administrative goals of the Trump regime.

[QUOTE]1. A little bit of counter-intelligence research has yielded some disturbing results.
2. The Brexit vote in the U.K. came as a surprise and it transpires it's down to a targeted psychological-propo campaign...
3. which harnesses big data and uses it unethically. It was run by a company called SCL and paid for by Right wing figures Banks and Farage.
4. This is how Trump happened. Steve Bannon now sits on the board of Cambridge Analytica, SCLs parent.
5. They were engaged as Trump's MSM campaign first began to dip and, well, we know what the $15 million payments to CA achieved.
6. The whole thing is based on the OCEAN personality assessment, enhanced with big data...
7. so it can predict your behaviours from SM likes, where you live, what car you buy.
8. They use this to target subtly amended propo down to the tweaking level of individuals.
9. They have gone far enough to have an app for vote canvassers, so you can be individually profiled before your door knocks.
10. This is why it's become key to them to avoid the MSM. And why "alternative facts" are crucial...
11. they need to be able to tweak the truth to impact individual targets as effectively as possible.
12. They can also inhibit behaviour through negative propo, to discourage voters from coming out against them. (Damping other candidates).
13. It amounts, in short, to psychological warfare and they are now deploying this method in France and Germany.
14. This is all of our business, so if you could please ensure as many people as possible know it would be appreciated.
15. I appreciate this is a short explanation, but there is time for detail later.[/QUOTE]

It's plausible giving the absurdity and craziness witnessed the last few days., but I need better evidence to be convinced.

They later worked for Trump. And they worked for Farage's Brexit-campaign.
And national-leninist Bannon is on the board of Cambridge Analytica.
And they are looking for customers internationally, including France and Germany.

No one in this administration has any idea what they are doing except Mattis, the US is going to literally fall apart due to incompetence. I'm not joking this is like one of those "what if a bunch of random McDonald's employees suddenly controlled the world?" but in real life.
