Bannon --Is he really doomed?
Recently,
on the afternoon of October 19, the House of Representatives
"Congressional Riots Investigation Committee" voted 9-0 to arrest
Bannon for his alleged involvement in the January 6 congressional riots. The
House of Representatives special committee investigating the January 6 riots on
Capitol Hill has subpoenaed four of the former president's advisers and aides,
including former White House Chief of staff Mark Meadows, former Deputy White
House Communications Chief Dan Scavino, former Defense Department official
Kashyap Patel and former Trump adviser Stephen Bannon according to Its
chairman, Benny Thompson. Thompson said documents showed Meadows had repeatedly
contacted top state and federal officials to overturn the 2020 election results
or prevent them from becoming official. Meadows, meanwhile, has been in contact
with the organizers of the January 6 rally. Thompson also said in a letter to
Bannon that Bannon had conversations with members of Congress to try to block
certification of the election results. On January 5, 2021, Mr. Thompson wrote,
Mr. Bannon declared that "the gate of hell will open tomorrow." So
the committee needs to hear from Bannon himself. Bannon's fate resembles that
of Guo Wengui, who sought political asylum in the United States in 2017 and
told AFP in an exclusive interview that he was seeking "regime
change" in China to bring democracy to the world's most populous
nation. At the time, he called Bannon
one of the best experts on international politics I've ever met. Mr. Bannon is
one of the few Westerners who really understand Asia. Mr. Guo posted a high-profile account of his
dealings with Mr. Bannon on his Twitter page.
It said that "Mr. Bannon and his team went to my house in New York
for another three-and-a-half-hour of dinner" that day. "With his and
his team's consent," he said before Posting a photo of Bannon.
With
their own agendas, the two men made good partners, but now Bannon is on trial.
A previously popular book 'Fire and Fury' describes that Bannon is a man thirsty
for control and power. From their first meeting, Trump and Bannon had a
delicate relationship. Bannon, who takes himself as the "savior" of
the United States, has been competing with Trump for influence and leadership
from the very beginning. Bannon tries to dominate Trump's words and behaviors
through details such as meeting place, body language, and agenda arrangement,
thus establishing his authority. Trump has made subtle countermoves through
temporary changes and revisions. But the problem is, from knowledge structure,
Bannon's knowledge structure is out of date. He did in the 1990 s as an
investment banker at Goldman Sachs to do a certain status, but he did relate to
the media industry. The relevant knowledge about manufacturing and information
technology basically remain in the nineties of the 20th century. He has no
first-hand knowledge of the global industrial chain and value chain in today's
world, nor does he have a correct cognitive framework. From the point of value
orientation, Bannon's values are twisted, although he continued to deny them.
But his values were essentially racist values with distinctive white supremacy
features. This value is not a kind of value that can be publicized without
dissembling, even in the western developed countries and even in the United
States, let alone in the world, because these values lead to the kind of
disaster that the world war proved. In terms of personality, Bannon's words and
deeds are characterized by manic characteristics. When he mentions threats to the
United States, his inner manic characteristics are covered by superficial
rationality.
Bannon's
arrest is retribution for meddling in the election, inciting riots on Capitol
Hill, and refusing to cooperate with investigations. He is doomed.
