Dinner with Mr Brexit: Bannon's European Revolution - Planned with Farage, Backed by Epstein

Nigel Farage was the figurehead and his partner Laure Ferrari started it. Steve Bannon and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were providing almost daily support



Anyone who’s seen Alison Klayman’s 2019 documentary The Brink will remember the scenes where Steve Bannon and Nigel Farage sit together discussing a pan-European nationalist populist “Movement” – with Bannon calling Farage “the face” of Brexit while they talk about stitching together far-right parties across the EU. Bannon tells Farage that he’ll “fund it somehow”.

What those scenes didn’t show is that the Brussels vehicle Bannon was about to claim as his own – The Movement – had actually been created out of Farage’s network and that, in the background, Jeffrey Epstein was quietly helping Bannon plan, protect, and track his “European revolution”.

Farage is not just a cameo, he is ‘Mr Brexit’ – the most famous and successful of Bannon’s protégés apart from Donald Trump.



And Farage was wired into the legal shell of The Movement through his partner, Laure Ferrari, from day one – with an opaque dark money funding structure suggested by Epstein.

Farage is still reeling from the revelations that Nathan Gill, one-time MEP and ex-leader of Reform UK's Welsh branch, took large bribes over a substantial period to parrot pro-Russia propaganda, and a few days ago was sentenced to over 10 years imprisonment for doing so.

It's almost as if the dots are starting to join themselves. UKIP was penalized for numerous financial irregularities by its members in the European Parliament. Why should Reform UK miss out on any pickings if they're going?

Will historic entanglement with a paedophile kingpin with deep pockets for perfidy be enough to finally take the shine off Farage, owner of a political party and figurehead of a movement that gleefully make hay out of overblown accusations of immigrant rape gangs?

Putin's long time goal is to break up European unity.
Divide and conquer.

Although finally disapproved by Italian courts it shows that there is a very real international authoritarian alliance.
Yet even now, when I see this alliance mentioned people who are apparently "left wing" or Democratic voters say that this is a conspiracy theory.
