Bannon would never run with that talking point, not enough casual antisemitism. At least throw some brackets around Fed.
I think Bannon echos every noun in every sentence he types. Beware the (((Fed))) and its ability to manipulate the (((Economy))) and also be weary of (((flouride))) in the (((water))) and (((chemtrails))) in the (((sky))).
Dear white progressives, stop bringing Ralph Nader around.
If you want to make minorities wary of white supremacy being able to coexist happily with social democracy, Nader will do exactly that
I honestly don't know much about Ralph Nader, what white supremacists things has he been saying and doing?
He may or may not be a white supremacist, I can't call it yet. But I wouldn't bring him around anyway, because he will probably say some clown ****.....
-He famously had a blow up with the Congressional Black Caucus, like a screaming match between him and the entire Caucus because they wouldn't support his play to run independent in 2004, they want to to stay out. The CBC said it was too important to get Bush out of office for Nader to be messing around He claimed he was called an unspecified racial slur, demanded an apology.
-He ran in 2004, as the under the 'Populist Party of Maryland" at one point (it ballot access hustle was so weird that year). Kinda weird to use that name given its previous history with white supremacy. Also, he took support from the Reform Party, when David Duke and Pat Buchanan were in it. Mind you, a one Donald Trump left the Reform Party in 2000 because he couldn't stand the racism.
-There was this on election night 2008:
-He worked on a project with some Conservatives to make Harvard admissions more fair. The headline of the effort was arguing how unfair affirmative action is.
-There was this last year about him looking back fondly to a time when white males could harassing women and make ethnic jokes whenever they pleased.

Now that you mention it, Trump is a fascinating phenomenon. What does his popularity tell you about the electorate and what they want?
Nader: Well, and you see this when you walk past construction sites and you talk with white male workers, they feel they have been verbally repressed. It’s hard for someone your age to understand what I’m about to say. They like to stand on a corner and whistle at a pretty lady. They like to flirt. But they can’t do that anymore. Multiply that across the continuum. You can’t say this about that, and you can’t say that about this. And the employer tells you to hush. And perhaps your spouse tells you to hush, and your kids tell you to hush. So they have a whole language that they inherited — ethnic words like Polack. A lot of these people grew up on ethnic jokes, which are totally taboo now. Do you know, Lydia, there are no ethnic-joke books in bookstores anymore?
There used to be?
Nader: All the time. There were Negro-joke books, Jewish-joke books, Polish-joke books, Italian-joke books. They used ethnic jokes to reduce tension in the 1930s, ’40s, ’50s. And they’d laugh at each other’s jokes and hurl another one. But it still flows through ethnic America, you know. There are hundreds of things that people would like to say. So here’s this guy — he doubles down on them, he blows their minds. So that’s the first way he got their attention.
the 30s, 40s, and 50s, ahhh da golden era
-Had this gem too......
Well, what if it serves a purpose in the moment — which is to make an impact on the debate — and doesn’t carry on as an institution?
OK, well, there’s a negative, which is demoralization when they can’t get there. You’ve already seen that with Black Lives Matter. They’re so sensitive to injustice, and then they don’t see any response to their work. One young man committed suicide. The tension is incredible. And what will happen when the press turns on them? The press finished off Occupy. The minute they were ejected it was no longer news. Not that they knew how to organize anything. Not that they knew how to take any advice from the ’70s and ’60s.
So yeah, I do suspect some things.
