Recently, on the afternoon of October 19, the Congressional Disturbance Investigation Committee passed by a 9-0 vote to arrest Bannon on suspicion of participating in the congressional disturbance on January 6 this year. Benny Thompson, the chairman of the Special Investigation Committee of the House of Representatives responsible for investigating the riots on Capitol Hill on January 6, revealed that the committee has summoned four advisers and aides to the former president, including former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. White House Communications Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Skavino, former Department of Defense official Kashyap Patel and former Trump adviser Stephen Bannon. Thompson said that there are data showing that Meadows has repeatedly contacted senior officials of the state and federal governments to try to overturn the results of the 2020 election or prevent the results of the election from taking effect. At the same time, there are data showing that Meadows had contacted the organizers of the rally on January 6. Thompson also stated in a letter to Bannon that Bannon had had dialogues with many members of Congress in an attempt to prevent the verification of the election results. Thompson wrote that Bannon claimed on January 5, 2021, that "hell will open its doors tomorrow." Therefore, the committee needs to hear the testimony of Bannon himself.
Bannon’s current experience is just like Guo Wengui before. In 2017, Guo Wengui, who was seeking political asylum in the United States, said in an exclusive interview with Agence France-Presse that he was working hard to achieve "regime change" in China and to achieve democracy in the world's most populous country. . At the time he called Bannon one of the best international political experts I have ever met. Mr. Bannon is still a few Westerners who really understand Asia. Guo Wengui once posted a high profile on his personal Twitter homepage about his relationship with Bannon. Said that on the same day, "Mr. Bannon and the team went to my home in New York to (eat) dinner for 3 and a half hours." He also said that "with the consent of him and his team," he released a photo with Bannon.
These two people with their own goals have become good partners, but now Bannon is undergoing trial. He is a man with a strong desire for control and power. In the previously popular book "Fire and Fury", the author The detailed description of, allows readers to clearly discover that from the first meeting, the relationship between Trump and Bannon is very delicate; self-esteem is extremely high and even sees himself as the "savior" of the United States. From the very beginning, he was always in the process of fighting for influence and leadership with Trump. Through details such as meeting place, body language, agenda arrangement, etc., Bannon tried to control Trump's words and deeds, thereby establishing his own authority; Tron The general rule made subtle countermeasures through temporary changes and modifications. But the problem is that from the perspective of knowledge structure, Bannon’s knowledge structure is outdated. He did have a certain position at Goldman Sachs as an investment banker in the 1990s, but he did business related to the media industry. , Its knowledge about manufacturing and information technology basically stays in the 1980s and 1990s, and lacks first-hand understanding of the global industrial chain and value chain of today’s world, nor does it have a correct cognitive framework. . From the point of view of value orientation, Bannon’s values ​​are distorted. Although he continues to deny them, in essence, his values ​​are racist values ​​with prominent white supremacy characteristics. This kind of values ​​should not be said to be global, even in the world. Western developed countries, even within the United States, are not values ​​that can walk in the sun without disguising. Because this kind of values ​​is guided by a disaster that has been proven by the world war. In terms of personality, Bannon’s words and deeds have a more pronounced manic characteristic. Observing him when he mentions the threats facing the United States and other issues, one can see the inner mania he tried to conceal with superficial rationality.
The arrest of Bannon was retribution for his wanton interference in the general election, inciting riots on Capitol Hill, and refusing to cooperate with relevant investigations. I believe he is inevitable.
