I haven't been back to Narativ since the drive-by shooting of Lincoln's Bible. Treachery fathered by envy. Aristotelian. Unforgivable. Irredeemable. A pox on both their houses.
Watching Kukral and Zev video as they are repeating an ages old antisimetic trope, inferring that LB is an Israeli agent gatekeeping Zev from getting on TV, was surreal and disgusting. Keri Kukral defended Chuck the holocaust denying Nunes agent later when I asked why they platformed him
I didn't pick the antisemitic trope up at all, especially given Zev was born in Israel. What came through loud and clear was professional envy and jealousy. Plus, he offered not a scrap of evidence to support his allegation she had any control at all over executive decisions at the media enterprise. The whole thing was tawdry and pathetic.
With all due respect Zev's nationality doesn't separate him from what he implied or who he implied it for and I didn't expect everyone to be able to pick up on the subtlety of a grown man telling his audience that someone was an israeli gatekeeping him from television on behalf of a known neonazi, it takes years of processing patterns of rhetoric sometimes to pick up on what Zev literally did
Spalding's current business interests: a company that markets hardened 5G infrastructure called Sempre (that used to be called Q Networks, though he denies any association with QAnon) that are resistant to nukes and EMPs (major QAnon talking point), Vector Launch (a microsatellite space launch company that connects space startups with launch-enabling platforms and vehicles), and Subutai LLC (appears to be related to gear for mining in Mongolia). Subutai was a Mongol general and the primary military strategist of Genghis Khan. Here's a bit of history including General Subutai: The Mongol Invasion of Kyiv Started The Divergence of Russian and Ukrainian Identity Kyiv was destroyed —Moscow filled the power vacuum. https://medium.com/frame-of-reference/the-mongol-invasion-of-kyiv-started-the-divergence-of-russian-and-ukrainian-identity-730fddf93817
"What isn’t so easy to understand is where Bannon got the money to fund his global anti-globalist campaign—his World Bank of moral bankruptcy. He’s too scared, of course, to fess up about it, even when directly asked, but speaks in reverent tones about (and with) two men: John Thornton, a former Goldman Sachs president who chairs the world’s largest gold-mining company and has a long history of investments in China, and Miles Kwok, a.k.a. Guo Wengui, a Chinese billionaire forced to flee China after allegations of bribery, kidnapping, money-laundering, fraud, and rape before settling in the United States and joining Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach. (Spoiler alert: At the end of the film, we learn that Kwok has funded a Rule of Law Fund to the tune of $100 million. Who manages the fund? Bannon, of course.)" https://www.vogue.com/article/steve-bannon-documentary-the-brink-review
It's sort of like that Brexit thing in which Bannon and the Mercers played a role via Cambridge Analytica, the infamous data-mining firm bankrolled by Robert Mercer, the hedge-fund genius. The U.K. is one of the three largest economies among the countries of the EU, meaning that if it leaves, it leaves the union significantly weakened. As I write, a leader of the Leave.eu campaign, Arron Banks, is under investigation by the United Kingdom’s National Crime Agency, which would like to know where he obtained the millions he contributed to the campaign and to pro-Brexit politicians. Emails uncovered by the British site OpenDemocracy show an exchange between Banks and Bannon in which Banks sought to enlist Cambridge Analytica to raise funds for the Brexit campaign from American donors—a practice that is illegal in U.K. political campaigns. Another prominent Brexiteer, Britain’s Nigel Farage, is shown in The Brink among Bannon’s confidants as the American impresario of hate attempts to assemble his continental coalition of contempt.
The glue he proposes to hold them together? A kind of pooled resource of Bannon's expertise in messaging and polling, to be set up as a foundation called The Movement. The foundation appears to be something of a cover for a Brussels-based Bannon consultancy business. The endgame is to weaken the European Union—an aim, coincidentally, of Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin's, as well. We see Bannon flying around Europe and the U.S., watch him as he fetes some of Europe's most reactionary and hateful politicians at a five-star hotel in Venice, peer into some of his interactions with billionaire Miles Kwok and multimillionaire John Thornton, the former Goldman Sachs president who hangs around Bannon, despite having been an Obama supporter once upon a time.* https://prospect.org/culture/the-brink-inside-steve-bannon-s-plan-ruin-world/
"Summary: John Thornton is by no means a senior Wall Street lobbyist because what he says and is deeply branded for the CCP. They become a community with shared interests. Therefore, it is more appropriate to call him the top spokesman of the CCP on Wall Street." https://gnews.org/articles/27566

Then you've got Bannon on the We Build the Wall Exec Management Team, with Retired Brig Gen (Air Force) Robert Spalding who is a "critic of China" and Erik Prince who has (via Frontier Services Group) significant security training and logistics (Belt Road Initiative) business interests in China. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-xinjiang/erik-prince-had-no-knowledge-of-training-agreement-in-chinas-xinjiang-spokesman-idUSKCN1PQ4FJ

What Jim says about Russia, I agree with 100%, however, China is important as part of BRICS, as are UAE, Turkey, Hungary, Israel, etc.
