Trump &amp; Bannon Preparing the Ground

It amazes me how conniving our press and political pundits are in treating the public regarding Donald Trump. 

It is amazing that press and pundits alike had a “Big Surprise” when they found out Trump had Nick Fuentes as a dinner guest in Mar-a-Lago. As my good friend Jose Uzal, editor of Latino Digital, said today (11/28/22) in a WhatsApp chat “having Fuentes for dinner was an appropriate dog whistle to the base that he is still the Great White Hope" 


Fuentes, in spite of his Latino sounding last name, is one of the most prominent white supremacists in the USA, a veteran of the Charlottesville white supremacist rally who according to Jonathan Greenblatt, head of the Anti-Defamation League, “Nick Fuentes is among the most prominent and unapologetic antisemites in the country,” Greenblatt added. “He’s a vicious bigot and known Holocaust denier who has been condemned by leading figures from both political parties here, including the RJC [Republican Jewish Coalition].”


Shoring up the base and especially adding new wings of fighters is especially important to mount an offensive that could help to create chaos and confusion and disguise the true beneficiaries of the offensive. Make no mistake there was nothing coincidental or mistaken about this lunch invitation. 


What is amazing is that Trump is being treated as if he was beyond doing such a thing as associating himself with such people. Obviously, some of us haven’t yet grasped the essence of what Trump is about - the perfect embodiment in one person of white supremacy and unbridled greed, characteristics that provides him fluidity into the two worlds of his being. 


Daniel Little in his outstanding article “Corporations and the Nazi Regime” published in Understanding Society 5/12/21, says “It is apparent, 90 years after the beginnings of the Nazi period, that large corporations played an important and lamentable role in Nazi power and administration, and the implementation of the atrocities of slave labor and mass murder. This is true for domestic German industries, like I.G. Farben and Siemens; and it appears to be true for some multinational companies with subsidiaries in Germany, including the major automobile companies such as General Motors and Ford Motor Company. 


In his important book “Industry and Ideology: I. G. Farben in the Nazi Era” Peter Hayes summarizes the involvement of I.G. Farben in these terms: “By 1943, the concern’s 334 plants and mines across Germany and occupied Europe were turning out more than 3 billion marks’ worth of goods and earning net profits of more than 0.5 billion. Nearly 50% of IG’s 330,000-person work force had come to consist of conscript or slave laborers, among whom were some of the perhaps 30,000 inmates of Auschwitz who eventually died in the company’s new factory and mines near the camp” (xxi-xxii). And one of its subsidiaries was the industrial source of Zyklon B, the extermination gas used to kill more than a million concentration camp victims.” 


As we can see the marriage of white supremacy and unbridled corporate greed has been put already into nefarious use. Well, I hope that this understanding will put to rest any more surprises of what the Trump/Bannon team is capable of doing. Of course, the corporate press will continue to act surprised because, well, they are corporate, and their job is to continue to act surprised while lying to us to keep us confused and submissive.


Make no mistake, preparations are well underway to make sure power is secured to last this time around.
