Steve Bannon was a big box of nothing. Bannon is a filthy-mouthed whore who gave a group of brainless idiots like bart13 and Sdgla "wet panties" using Bannon's terminology over a witches brew of slogans with no details and no substance. There were no small mistakes by Bannon. Only huge ones driven by a desire to divide, and an inability to sweat the details. Someday there will be a book about it. It won’t be called “The Best and the Brightest.” Steve Bannon was never anything more than a court jester trying to amuse and please his employers, the Mercer family, who funded Breitbart "News". Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebekah are the real sociopaths with the agenda - and Rebekah has some scores to settle having been pushed-out of the picture by Trump and his crime-family associates.

hong kong once again serves up american comics to lighten our dialogue citic is of course the same outfit that engaged w/ the dark prince of blackwater, to serve the cause of belt & road per call of duty bloomberg.com Steve Bannon to Speak at a State-Owned Chinese Brokerage Event More stories by Ting Shi September 9, 2017, 2:20 AM GMT+8 Stephen Bannon, the former White House chief strategist who advocates a tougher U.S. stance toward China, has agreed to speak at an event hosted by a unit of the biggest state-owned Chinese brokerage. Bannon, who left his White House role three weeks ago after a controversial tenure in Donald Trump’s administration, will address an investor forum in Hong Kong organized by CLSA, an overseas unit of Citic Securities Co. The Sept. 12 talk will focus on “American economic nationalism, the populist revolt and Asia,” according to a CLSA spokeswoman. A Bannon representative was unsure whether he’ll receive a speaking fee for the event, which will be his first company-sponsored appearance since leaving the government. He’s unconcerned about CLSA’s connections to the Chinese government, his representative said. The CBS Corp. show “60 Minutes” will broadcast an interview with Bannon on Sunday. Bannon, who has called for direct confrontation with Beijing over trade, told The American Prospect magazine shortly before his White House departure that the U.S. and China are engaged in an “economic war.” He has since returned to his executive chairman role at Breitbart News, which said last month it will accelerate efforts to expand its populist and nationalist message globally. “He’s the man of the moment, and we believe our clients are interested in what he has to say,” CLSA said in a response to questions from Bloomberg. “He is current and his opinion influences the markets.” Given Bannon’s stance on China, it’s “ironic” that he’s participating in an event hosted by a company with ties to the Chinese government, said Louis Kuijs, head of Asia economics at Oxford Economics in Hong Kong. Still, Citic Securities is “pretty hands off” when it comes to managing CLSA, Kuijs said. The firm was founded in Hong Kong by two former journalists in 1986 and purchased by Citic Securities in 2013, according to CLSA’s website. Ties between America and China, the world’s largest economies, have become a growing focus for investors after Trump regularly bashed China for unfair trade practices on the campaign trail. While the relationship appeared to warm after Trump praised Chinese President Xi Jinping during their first meeting in April, it has become more strained in recent weeks as the countries struggled to find common ground on North Korea’s nuclear program. Trump, who has linked U.S. trade policy with China’s efforts to restrain Pyongyang, asked his top trade official to investigate Chinese theft of U.S. intellectual property last month. Bannon, 63, wouldn’t be the first controversial figure to address the CLSA forum, which is attended by hundreds of asset managers each year. Edward Snowden spoke via satellite in 2015 and Sarah Palin appeared eight years ago. The event typically features speakers from all walks of life, including government, finance, Hollywood and sports. Past attendees have included George Clooney, Arnold Schwarzenegger and David Beckham. Former Bank of England Governor Mervyn King and U.S. Olympian Michael Phelps are among the speakers at this year’s event. — With assistance by Joshua Green, and Jennifer Jacobs
