His start-off story was about Steve Bannon's new crusade against Pope Francis and the Catholic Church. Engel was in Rome and showed scenes of Bannon's new digs at a rehabbed 18th Century monastery. Bannon is putting $1 million of his own money (yeah right!) into fixing up the monastery so he can recruit people to help him bring down the Pope.

It really sounds flaky and crazy, except we know he's hooking up with some very wealthy and secretive people in Europe, just like he did with Robert and Rebekkah Mercer. Bannon seems to know how to say just the right things to get these wealthy right-wing nuts to part with their cash. What a world!

Edit to add: here's a link to the story & video https://www.msnbc.com/onassignment

Given what he has managed in the past here, it’s important to keep tabs on his continuing attempts to impose right wing systems globally.

he continues to wield, that he will stoop to any level (and all manner of trickery, hacking and cheating) to achieve his goals and that his current agenda of pushing EU’s elections and political leadership to the right and shaping a younger far-right movement there is very dangerous.

He can also be done for inciting hate speech within the EU.

Just think, extradition is only a tweet away...

Trump surrounded himself with anti-Islam zealots who believe that the only way to force Christianity on the rest of the world is to replay the Crusades and obliterate every Muslim from the face of the Earth. Here’s a New Yorker article that described these views.

https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/the-trump-teams-holy-war-and-the-remaking-of-the-world-order

The first Crusade was initiated by the Catholic church with a religious purpose, which was to regain control of Jerusalem and the holy lands. Later Crusades focused as much on plundering and greed as on taking control of the holy lands from Muslims. I don’t know Bannon’s purpose in calling for a holy war, but you can bet it involves the plundering of resources in Muslim lands. He’s an idiot, but unfortunately some powerful people—like Trump—have bought into his world view that all Muslims are bad and want to eliminate all Christians.

Don't publish a news release telling the world where your secret training fortress is located. It kinda attracts your sworn enemies.
