I just for a moment, want to reiterate Steve Bannons' adoration of Richard Spencer...

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/11/21/meet_the_neo_nazi_steve_bannon_s_site_described_as_a_leading_intellectual.html

"Richard Spencer is one of the leading “intellectuals” of the alt-right movement."

"White identity, he said, is at the core of both the alt-right movement and the Trump movement, even if most voters for Mr. Trump “aren’t willing to articulate it as such.”

Mr. Spencer’s after-dinner speech began with a polemic against the “mainstream media,” before he briefly paused. “Perhaps we should refer to them in the original German?” he said.
The audience immediately screamed back, “Lügenpresse,” reviving a Nazi-era word that means “lying press.”

Commentary:

THIS train of thought is now occupying a seat on the National Security Council...

THIS mentality is being utilized to shape national security policy and White House strategy.
