    Breitbart Building an Activist Medium

    Writes Mike Rozeff:

    Lew,

    The return of Steve Bannon to Breitbart and his arrangement with Robert Mercer, combined with talk of Breitbart expansion and new communications channels are clear signals that a new politically-oriented group is forming.

    Further evidence appears today. Sebastian Gorka has resigned from the Trump administration.

    “Breitbart is currently in negotiations with Dr. Gorka regarding his support for the website, as well as collaboration on a joint venture that would embody a Jacksonian national security vision.”

    Gorka’s vision is MAGA (Make America Great Again), which he says is dead now in the Trump administration as a guiding vision for policy.

    I view this as an activist media think tank that seeks to influence politics. It’s not a third party movement. It’s not a movement. If it becomes a movement, what party would be its home? It might take aim at specific officeholders as well as policies. It might aim to build support for the embattled Trump from the outside.

    Breitbart already is bashing McMaster. Breitbart in its articles is much more prone to do research and make persuasive arguments than present news baldly. It is always ready to call out other media. We can expect a broadening of coverage. It won’t be a think tank producing lengthy pieces, but a fast-moving medium with research backup that is alert to current events and interprets them boldly and openly. Its choice of topics is unique in their emphasis. These are ways in which Breitbart now sets itself apart, and it looks to keep doing so.

    Breitbart is clearly on the move.

    Nazism = Leftism

    Writes Brian Dunaway:

    Ah, the beloved K-L, our modern-day Erasmus – how I dearly miss him, and what light he would have shone on the current darkness. But selfishness aside, I’m glad he didn’t live to see what’s happening to his heartland.

    On a similar note to your article, of which I’m certain K-L would have enthusiastically approved, I recall Vernon Walters on Firing Line saying the following regarding the Nazi party (NSDAP), “the National Socialist German Workers’ Party – you can’t get much more left than that!”

    Civilization

    Writes Ken Cherven:

    Dear Lew –

    A few days spent in Prague have been so refreshing. No Antifa, no whining about perceived injustices, and no pointless property destruction. The people here have memories of what true injustice looks like, from their days under the repressive communist regimes. There is an incredible spirit here, as well as a lot of great beer, and capitalism appears to be celebrated rather than scorned.

    Thanks again for all you do to advance the cause of freedom.
