In its frenzy to destroy President-elect Trump, the bought-and-paid-for establishment propaganda media is now lying openly and outright, smearing Trump’s chief strategist and senior counselor, Steve Bannon, as a white supremacist and anti-Semite. But even though the self-appointed arbiters of acceptable opinion have been screaming their lies about Bannon everywhere for several days now, Trump shows no sign of bowing to their will and firing Bannon. So now Huffington Post smear artist Christopher Mathias has tried another tack, attempting to destroy Bannon by association with foes of jihad terror: Pamela Geller, Frank Gaffney, and me.

The HuffPo should seriously consider docking Mathias’ pay, as this particular hit piece is extremely lazy work. For the most part, he simply repeats Southern Poverty Law Center talking points to which I responded point-by-point here. The only charge he adds in that the SPLC doesn’t include is the hoary old falsehood that I inspired Norwegian psychopath Anders Breivik to commit mass murder; you can find the truth about that here (scroll down).

The point of this piece is to intimidate Bannon and/or Trump into not daring to have any dealing with the likes of us, but to continue the Obama administration policy of entrusting counterterror operations to collaborators, fellow travelers, infiltrators, dunces, and useful idiots. It manifests the Huffington Post’s deep and growing anxiety as its editors and writers slowly begin to realize that Trump and Bannon are unlikely to succumb to this kind of pressure.

Mathias’ hit piece includes this: “Asked what he thinks it’s important for Bannon to know as he begins his new role in the White House, Spencer said he would tell Bannon ‘that forces such as the Huffington Post and its allies will stop at nothing to discredit and destroy him.'” Mathias’ lack of any capacity for self-reflection is embarrassing: his article here is a compelling illustration of the truth of what I said.
