When xenophobic white nationalist and Trump whisperer Steve "Loose Cannon" Bannon was arrested early yesterday on fraud charges, he happened to be on the luxury yacht of Chinese fugitive and accused fraudster Guo Wengui (a.k.a. Miles Kwok) off the coast of Long Island. Wengui / Kwok is being sought under a "red flag" alert from Interpol for rape, kidnapping, bribery and, ironically, falsifying financial documents to secure bank loans (ed.: was he getting advice from Trump?).
After fleecing MAGA morons out of money to build the wall that Mexico was going to pay for, and using it to pay for his own lavish lifestyle, Bannon was working with his friend Wengui / Kwok on another swindle:
"In June, Guo and Bannon announced the founding of the 'Federal State of New China,' an initiative to “overthrow the Chinese government.”Here's more from a New York Times article from December 2018:
"In an interview in his hotel room two weeks ago, Mr. Bannon, 65, said the new China-related fund he will head, without pay, will gather evidence, share it with authorities — in the United States and elsewhere — and publish it in the media. The fund also targets Wall Street banks and law firms, which he says are complicit in China’s misdeeds.
The project, he says, is consistent with his populist and nationalist agenda." (our emphasis)You can be sure overthrowing the Chinese government will cost a lot of your money, money that Messrs. Bannon and Wengui / Kwok will happily separate you from and put in their pockets. After all, 150 foot populist yachts ain't canoes.
