'Europe is no ally' Steve Bannon on Tariffs, Trump, and Total War
GBNews - 8 Apr 2025


Former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon warned European allies to stop taking advantage of the US, and defended Trump's tariff war.

Steven Edginton sits down with Steve Bannon for a no-holds-barred discussion on Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariff war. Bannon defends Trump's bold economic strategy, slams China's influence, calls out America's so-called allies, and warns Republicans that the stakes in 2028 couldn’t be higher. From Elon Musk’s media distraction in Wisconsin to the geopolitical error of giving away the Chagos Islands, Bannon pulls no punches.

Trump just reduced all tariffs to 10% for all while, three hours before, telling anyone who wanted to hear that it was time to buy on the markets that where at a never seen low. Of course when he reduced the tariffs few hiurs later the markets flew way high. Him and his billionnaires oligarchs made billions more (they had money to buy and were told beforehand) while you and I lost our 401 pension founds - RRSP in Canada. This is literally illegal trading and collusion from the US president.


Will you, extreme rightist avalon member, finally understand!!!! No savior here. Just a very greedy psycho who knows and think that most are thick enough to stand by him.

Joe needed jail, Trump:this is way wayyyy worst.

I have to say, I was shocked at the unexpected news. I've not seen this mentioned yet on any social media commentary, but this does seem to be suspicious (at least!). I'm finding myself wondering if this was all choreographed beforehand, the events of today always part of the plan.

These might be the immediate outcomes:

1. Some DC insiders must have made a LOT of money, probably millions, within a few hours.
2. Wholesale economic war against China has been declared.

Having been an avid watcher of Steve Bannon's Warroom since the insanity began with Covid, over five years now, I must say, he sure has educated me well.

I have had the pleasure of watching many interviews of almost all of the power players before they came to power. Most were regulars on the Warroom. Navaro was even the host while Bannon was in jail for contempt. I know these people from years of interviews. Bannon's analysis has been spot on, no holds barred either - both negative and positive views discussed. Trump is not so much a mystery because Bannon explains his policies accurately.

After 400 Trump rallies I can say he has done nothing he has not campaigned on. And at this rate he might be the first politician in history to actually make good on all his promises on the campaign trail. None of it is a surprise, so it is comical to watch the reaction to it.

He got the mandate in spades, and he is following through on his policy agenda.
Oh, the horror!

It is all over the French news in Canada and many regular reporters talk of ´délit d’initié’. Which means insiders trading. They say it is the biggest insider traiding ever, pushed by Trump. He wrote on his Truth Social network, 3 hour before reduction on tarifs. except for China, ‘It is time to buy!!!´ The difference between today and before is the wording. Before he tells americans buy, buy, but had never used the word time nor the exclamation points. Reporters here think it was code for his billionnaire oligarch gang. They made 120,000 per million reinvested and it was a frenzie. Real sharks. And us, the honest citizen, are the ones bleeding to death.

And then Willfully blinding himself with huge blinders each sides of his head Ernie and his two posts. F ck, how low does the thinking fruit has to be for him to pick it up??

Wake up!!

You can't make this up:

At 9:37 AM ET today, President Trump posted that it's a "great time to buy."

Then, at 1:18 PM ET, Trump posted that he is PAUSING tariffs for 90-days.

The Nasdaq is now up over +10% on track for its best day since October 2008.

Did Trump just tell us about one of the market's largest daily gains 4 hours in advance?

I agree that Trump has declared economic war on the CCP, which, like the Soviet Communist and German Nazi governments, the Bush/Clinton/Bush/Obama/Biden U.S. governments, and the European Union in Brussels, are or were deeply corrupted and/or initially funded and created by the same globalists who created and now control the City of London.

The debt-money system imposed on the U.S. in 1913, then on the world at Bretton Woods in 1944, by those globalist's bankers, manifest in the IRS and Federal Reserve, is by design a Potemkin village of debt, security, derivative and other financial instruments, piled higher and deeper, now rehypothecating the same underlying real assets sometimes hundreds or thousands of times over. That system, by design, has a limited life expectancy; the interest rates that the Banksters charge a people for the issuance of the people's money is the rate at which the real value of that money decays. The collapse of this debt-money system will be epic, and may well be imminent. A few will time their trades and make generational wealth; many will learn the real value of the resources they've accumulated; many will lose even that.

That a few insiders (or outsiders) played this one well is not ipso facto evidence of conspiracy to commit financial fraud; such happens every time there is sharp spike in market volatility, sometimes leveraging fraudulently obtained inside knowledge, sometimes not. If, as I have been predicting for many years (I'll be right sooner or later, ), the collapse of the current debt-money based US Dollar system is imminent, we'll be seeing much more such volatility soon enough.

The key question will be who prevails once the dust settles, those I might term the white hats or the dark hats.

Hang on tight.

What did they gain or lose in the week prior? Simply holding such wealth, making no trades, would have resulted in major losses, and partial regains, over the last week.

On the other hand, Trump definitely lost big and permanently, in terms of credibility and character.

Trump claims countries ‘kissing my ass’ for tariff deals
The president says US trade partners are begging for exemptions as even steeper tariffs go into effect on Wednesday

President Donald Trump has claimed that dozens of countries are scrambling to negotiate trade deals with the US following his sweeping new tariffs, boasting that foreign leaders are begging for exemptions to avoid the full impact of the levies.

Speaking at a National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) dinner on Tuesday night, Trump said his administration is “doing very well” in early negotiations with countries already hit with a baseline 10% tariff last week – and dozens more facing even steeper duties starting Wednesday.

“I’m telling you, these countries are calling us up, kissing my ass,” Trump said. “They are dying to make a deal: ‘Please, please sir, make a deal. I’ll do anything, I’ll do anything sir.’”

The administration previously stated that nearly 70 countries have sought talks to mitigate the impact of the tariffs, as Trump pushes for customized agreements with individual nations. “I call them tailored deals, not off the rack,” he said earlier on Tuesday at an executive order signing event at the White House.

Trump also claimed that the tariff strategy is working well and predicted it would boost the Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections – dismissing critics who say the levies are backfiring on American consumers and investors. He also took aim at GOP lawmakers who supported bipartisan efforts to curb his authority to impose tariffs beyond 60 days without congressional approval.

“We’re going to win the midterm elections, and we’re going to have a tremendous, thundering landslide,” Trump told Republican lawmakers and donors. “And I really think we’re helped a lot by the tariff situation that’s going on, which is a good situation… it’s going to be legendary, you watch.”

The president’s comments came just ahead of his administration’s rollout of higher import duties, including a steep 104% tariff on Chinese goods. The policy, which takes full effect Wednesday, is part of Trump’s broader “reciprocal” trade agenda, aimed at pressuring countries with large trade surpluses to offer better terms to the US.

The White House has said the tariffs are intended to address long-standing trade imbalances and revive domestic manufacturing. Trump insists the measures are already benefiting the US economy, claiming the country is collecting $2 billion a day in tariff revenue.

IMO Trump has his own authentic + unique style.... for 10 years the naysayers and Deep State associates have done everything they can to demoralize his supporters + smear him - and keep power in the hands of a shadowy elite that wants a One World Government (along the lines of a 'woke' dictatorship?).....and who appear to have aligned themselves to China and the CCP.....(?)

As the years have rolled by I think vast numbers of citizens around the world have wised up to the endless stream of Media propaganda being churned out 24/7.... and will stand firm in their support of Trump - give him time to organize the HUGE task he is spearheading - and ultimately understand he (and his team) will be judged on results and not premature conclusions...

I think there's more going on than a simple 2 way battle, for Trump. Even the enemy he's obviously fighting, on behalf of Americans who want their Republic back, and people around the world who want a right-way-up world, is fighting, deceptively, for a big change of power balance, too.

The enemy, if allowed, is changing from the Babylonian power supremacy to the Beast power supremacy. Within the system's own parameters, the old Babylonian power is being taken down and the Leviathan/beast power is being brought into place. In this world that looks roughly like the Vatican is giving way to the Sanhedrin.

Visibly, Trump's actions are obviously involved in both agendas, ours and the magicians, at the same time (the Sanhedrin power is based in Jerusalem). I'm still uncertain which if either side of that he's feigning, tactically. Realistically, I could draw up lists of clues or evidence for both versions of that curiosity.

The uncertainty of that observation ultimately guides me to emphasizing to all that the power of intention and prayers among us the masses is where this grand epic story will guide us. In the end, it's our story. Even our contemporary 'heroes' need our intention and prayer to keep them safe from the magicians' deceptions and magic.

The Trump Tariff song

[Flash]

As long as tou say ‘hang on’ to Bush es to Clinton’s to Bidens to Trump’s, and the Trudeaus or Macrons, as long as you say hang on, you are the real problem.

Seeing the truth starts with oneself. Saying NO to the devils starts with oneself. If the majority did not let themselves be played, everything would change in an instant.

Corruption IS because WE let them. And any psychopath will tell you, this is your problem if you are stupid - it is precisely what they think of those they screw up, because those believe their lies. The deplorables.

So hang on!!!

They made money with WW1 and WW2 but WE lost everything. Same game again. We are a planet of hyenas taring apart each other and competing to no end, because ‘hang on’ ! It works but far from evolutive. Instead of being a planet of cooperating elephants, helping and protecting each other.

So hang on! You deserve the hyenas planet. They are happy you hang on. To hang you up.

DOGE reveals bizarre findings of unemployment insurance claims survey: 'This is so crazy'

'I had to read it several times before it sank in," Elon Musk noted



The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) account on X shared eyebrow-raising findings from a survey of unemployment insurance claims.

The "initial survey of Unemployment Insurance claims since 2020" found that thousands of people with future birthdates claimed benefits.

The survey also indicated that thousands of supposedly very young and very old people had claimed benefits.

The DOGE post states that the survey found, "24.5k people over 115 years old claimed $59M in benefits," "28k people between 1 and 5 years old claimed $254M in benefits," and "9.7k people with birth dates over 15 years in the future claimed $69M in benefits."

"In one case, someone with a birthday in 2154 claimed $41k," the post also notes.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Department of Labor for comment: "This is another incredible discovery by the DOGE team, finding nearly $400 million in fraudulent unemployment payments," Department of Labor Sec. Lori Chavez-DeRemer said in a statement. "The Labor Department is committed to recovering Americans’ stolen tax dollars. We will catch these thieves and keep working to root out egregious fraud - accountability is here."

"Your tax dollars were going to pay fraudulent unemployment claims for fake people born in the future! This is so crazy that I had to read it several times before it sank in," Elon Musk tweeted.

Musk is spearheading the DOGE effort to uncover waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal

"The oldest living American is 114 years old, so it is safe to say that anyone 115 or older is collecting 'unemployment' due to being dead. There was no sanity check for impossibly young or impossibly old people for unemployment insurance," he noted in another post.
