TRUMP YEAR ZERO

Trump towering over the globalists at Davos.

by Richard Wolstencroft

One Year of Donald Trump’s Rule! Who ever thought we would get this far? Let’s take a look at what I cheekily call "Trump Year Zero," as I do believe his appearance on the world stage represents a true paradigm shift in global geopolitics, both nationally and internationally. The term "Year Zero" has an air that is both messianic and evocative of the shock/horror of Pol Pot's radical takeover of Cambodia So, that sure is a fun mix. But, first some housekeeping, a little back story, and a few small caveats.

Even within Alt Right and Alt Lite circles, I am considered a bit of a one-eyed Trump supporter. I take that as a fair assessment. I have never openly sworn my allegiance to the Alt Right or Alt Lite, and probably gravitate to the more non-White Nationalist Alt Lite end that tends to see protecting Western Civilisation in itself as the most suitable focus for our efforts in the oversensitive political climate of the day, but I have publicly endorsed Donald Trump. That’s not always an easy road, especially when one works in the arts and cinema scenes down-under or otherwise.

BANNON PLANNING TO NEUTRALIZE SOCIAL MEDIA BIAS

Zuckerburg's plans to brainwash the masses faces opposition from Bannon.

by Alt-Right News

White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon is a man of big ideas and his next big one is to combat the liberal bias of internet companies like Facebook and Google by treating them as public utilities and monopolies. This would mean imposing tighter regulations on them, making it harder for them to behave in the partisan left-leaning way that they have in the past.

Bannon's intentions emerged after the tech-focused on-line mag The Intercept reported on the story, citing three anonymous sources that have reportedly discussed the issue with Bannon.

TRUMP TACTICS

AN ANALYSIS OF RECURRING TACTICS, INDIVIDUAL STRATEGIES, AND LONG GAME OBJECTIVES

by Ptolemy3

We heard from the media it was mathematically impossible for Trump to win, yet after winning that "impossible" battle against establishment money, his victory was rationalized as anyone could have beaten Clinton. Now we hear that Trump is "unhinged" and clueless, while the same media outlets discuss "dumb luck" and whether Trump might be some kind of "idiot genius." All the while, whispers of "4D chess" circulate the darker corners of the internet

NAMELESS PODCAST: BANNON/KUSHNER: TIFF FOR TAT?

For the past week, the media has breathlessly reported an acrimonious feud between two of President Trump's central advisors: his son-in-law Jared Kushner, and his former chief of staff (and ex-Breitbart editor) Steve Bannon.

SHINE A LIGHT—HOW TRUMP IS DRAINING THE SWAMP BY JUST BEING HIMSELF

by John Keller

Draining the swamp—now one of Trump's signature policies—was actually a last minute idea by the campaign that was intended to harvest a few remaining votes. It was never meant to be one of the central planks of the Trump presidency.

In fact, the lobbying ban that grew out of it initially caused the transition team a real headache with regard to staffing, as most competent professionals able to perform governmental functions have lobbied at some point or other. The headache was so severe that at one point Trump told Newt Gingrich he was thinking of discarding the concept altogether.

IT'S NOT ABOUT WHO'S IN THE MOVEMENT, IT'S ABOUT WHO'S NOT IN THE MOVEMENT YET

Would you accept your first red pill from this suspicious-looking individual? Probably not.

by Newfoundlander

When I saw what went down at the NPI conference I was livid and distraught. I wasn’t personally offended; I read and enjoy this kind of thing on TheRightStuff all the time. I get that it is ironic and in jest, and I find it funny. I know that Richard Spencer is not a Nazi. I’m not livid because of some kneejerk offense reaction on my part, I am livid because of the damage Spencer has done to the Alt-Right.
