It is true that he was raised on the Christian chivalry of Walter Scott, but it was a Christianity which was estheticized by medieval trappings and a chivalry which was abstracted from its sacramental setting. If Ivanhoe and The Talisman were his favorite novels, Richard Coeur de Lion and Saladin were his favorite characters, just because in them great-heartedness and soldierly generosity transcended everything, even religious differences

While the people who for two hundred and fifty years have been migrating to America have continued to furnish large numbers of immigrants to the United States, other races of totally different race origin, with whom the English-speaking people have never hitherto been assimilated or brought in contact, have suddenly begun to immigrate to the United States in large numbers. Russians, Hungarians, Poles, Bohemians, Italians, Greeks, and even Asiatics, whose immigration to America was almost unknown twenty years ago, have during the last twenty years poured in in steadily increasing num-bers until now they nearly equal the immigration of those races kindred in blood or speech, or both, by whom the United States has hitherto been built up and the American people formed. This momentous fact is the one which confronts us to-day, and if continued, it carries with it future consequences far deeper than any other event of our times. It involves, in a word, nothing
"The US has been invaded by hordes of immigrant Alpines and Mediterraneans, not to mention Asiatic elements like Levantines and Jews" wrote Stoddard. He believed Blacks will "remain savage" and that " crossings with the Negro will remain fatal"
Musk's position creates an information asymmetry that no amount of lobbying can counter. His team's access to the Treasury's payment systems means they can see patterns in government spending that others can't. They can spot which tech companies are getting which contracts, where the money flows, and how the government actually spends its technology budget. Musk can monitor Apple's classified contracts while developing competing technology and attacking their App Store policies on his social platform. He can track Google's AI initiatives while building rival systems and influencing the political conversation around AI regulation. Musk already controls X, giving him a global platform to shape narratives and attack rivals. His companies compete directly with other tech giants in AI, social media, and autonomous systems. He has demonstrated political influence strong enough to place loyalists throughout the government. This is the ultimate form of power- unprecedented market intelligence.

Bannon expresses his arguments in “documentary” films and in interviews. His films evince the drama that one would expect from a person who believes that we are in the midst of a dark age. This is especially clear in his documentary Generation Zero (Citizens United, 2010). The film adopts a cyclical view of American history, citing William Strauss and Neil Howe’s The Fourth Turning—An American Prophecy, which itself dabbles in Traditionalist approaches to temporality. Importantly, like Guénon, they see the 4th cycle in American history much like the Kali-Yuga.

“What got me thinking about it was that I was reading that people were using their credit cards to buy tens of thousands of U.S. dollar coins from the Mint just to get the credit-card points,” he said. “At the time, the Mint had free shipping and handling, and since it’s from the government, the coins are tax free.” They would charge $10,000, get ten thousand one-dollar coins, and use the coins to pay off their card. This really happened — one such dollar coiner told The Wall Street Journal that he took 15,000 coins straight from the delivery truck to the trunk of his car, to more easily drive them to the bank. “You don’t have to do that too many times to get a free first-class ticket,” Mucha said.
