War is coming, Bannon has warned. In fact, it’s already here.

" It’s war. It’s war. Every day, we put up: America’s at war, America’s at war. We’re at war. " - White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon, 2015

“You have an expansionist Islam and you have an expansionist China,” he said during a 2016 radio appearance. “They are motivated. They’re arrogant. They’re on the march. And they think the Judeo-Christian West is on the retreat.”

“Against radical Islam, we’re in a 100-year war,” he told Political Vindication Radio in 2011.

“We’re going to war in the South China Seas in the next five to 10 years, aren’t we?” Bannon asked during a 2016 interview with Reagan biographer Lee Edwards.

“We are in an outright war against jihadist Islamic fascism,” he said in a speech to a Vatican conference in 2014. “And this war is, I think, metastasizing far quicker than governments can handle it.”

"To confront this threat, Bannon argued, the Judeo-Christian West must fight back, lest it lose as it did when Constantinople fell to the Ottomans in 1453. He called Islam a “religion of submission” in 2016 — a refutation of President George W. Bush’s post-9/11 description of Islam as a religion of peace. In 2007, Bannon wrote a draft movie treatment for a documentary depicting a “fifth column” of Muslim community groups, the media, Jewish organizations and government agencies working to overthrow the government and impose Islamic law."

Bannon believes in Julius Evola, Ayn Rand, Howard Zinn, Strauss & Howe and the need for a "Fourth Turning" to "return" to an imaginary pre-Reformation Nietzschean Judeo-Christian National Socialist West.

If he gets his way, indeed a War will be manufactured and fought - thought whether there will be anyone left to enjoy his Brave New World seems rather dubious.
