Bannon

Ascendant reveals the formative early life, complicated development, tumultuous career and extraordinary successes of one of the most controversial conservative political voices today “The Most Dangerous Political Operative in America,” (Bloomberg News) is also one of the most popular. Stephen K. Bannon, love him or hate him, is the leader of tens of millions of Americans of the “America First” movement also known as the MAGA (Make America Great Again or Trump) patriots. This position makes him a primary target of domestic and international power brokers like the Chinese Communist Party, the World Health Organization, the World Economic Forum, the US intelligence community, the global military/industrial complex, Hollywood and Wall Street. If he’s your philosophical ally, he is an invaluable source of intelligence. If he is your philosophical enemy he is even more so. Beyond the well-funded efforts to annihilate him professionally, death threats are also common for Bannon and his family. Increasingly, violent progressive activists gather outside of his DC home studio in efforts to intimidate guests and discourage advertisers of his top rated show. As the election of 2024 draws closer and the power of MAGA continues to rise, the danger to him personally will only increase. Steven Bannon is a candle burning brightly at both ends. It would be wise to read more deeply into the dim underworld of cultural and political warfare while his light lasts.Ascendant  • presents a revealing characterization of a truly fearless political operative, media producer and one of the most controversial political thought leaders in the world today. • reveals the development and elements of Bannon's unique, some would say “quirky” personality, his self-discipline, focus and success. • shows why his storied rise through the US Navy, Wall Street, Hollywood and Washington DC and his public embrace of Christianity, national populism and the “America First” movement is an inspiration to millions of his loyal followers and anathema to many professional and political enemies. • offers an inspiring message of persistence, drive and unapologetic pro-Americanism in the face of well-financed and determined opposition.
