COUP: Under cover of #muslimban, Bannon throws top general and spy off the National Security Council and installs himself in their stead

The presence of Bannon in the White House does seem to me to be an extremely uncomfortable parallel with Goebbels, and to a degree Himmler, and it needs to be flagged up. Cheney, evil as he was, was at least in an election. Bannon has no democratic mandate whatsoever.
I think that people need to read history in order to understand the present, because the people that make the decisions usually do and are often following a playbook written long before. Everything I have read about or by Bannon suggests that he gets his ideas from the 1930s.
