Bannon no longer on Trump’s National Security Council

FWIW my first thought was Trump becoming more adept at working through more traditional organizational arrangements and wanted to free Bannon up to do what he's best at: big picture political strategizing, a task that desperately needs 100% focus, 24/7. As Catherine Austin Fitts recommended (https://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,43576.msg706631.html#msg706631):Alejo said:

A number of officials from previous Democratic and Republican administrations raised concerns that the unusual inclusion [of Bannon] would blur the lines between political and national security work.

A White House official said that Bannon was placed on the committee in part to monitor Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and never attended a meeting. He’s no longer needed with McMaster in charge of the council, the official said.

I certainly could only speculate JGeropoulas. But a sense of pessimism is growing in me yet again.
I am finding the latest statements from Tillerson, Nikki Haley and even Trump himself more troubling and potentially telling than Bannon being on one particular council in one role or the other, or not at all.
The entire return to "Assad Must Go" philosophy is completely nonsensical and as divorced from the Tea Party and Paleoconservative objectives as it can possibly be. Why would one of the very few remaining secular Arab leaders, be he as autocratic as he is (albeit far less and far more reform minded than the commonly accepted average), need to be "removed by force"? One that has so far repeatedly shown to be genuinely interested in defending the lives and well being of various Syrian minorities, including the many ancient Syrian Christian groups? I cannot see it as anything but a major bow, if not complete submission, of the Trump Administration to the Neoconservatives and their superordinated Zio Fascists within the Republican party.
If it's some sort of maskirovka, it better be a bleeding sophisticated as well as short-lived one, as Trump will lose all remaining face with whatever still remains of his supporter base in a New York minute.
If this is, however, some longer term attempt to placate and possibly anesthetise the Neoliberals or even the Jihadist/Salafist sponsor partners in the Middle East, or the Muslim Brother Erdogan, then perhaps the pseudonaive dimplomatic incompetence and zig-zagging should not be tossed about as recklessly (and quite likely, incompetently) as it's being done right now.
Sure, Bashir Assad will at some stage leave Syrian politics.
But every effort must be expended that this does not result in
a) Vile episodes of violent revanchism, such as the shameful and barbaric lynching of Colonel Khaddafi
b) Territorial breakup of Syria in any shape or form
c) Fall of Syria to the Jihadis
d) Usage of the engineered pretext of "Bashir attrocity inspired" Mossad/Al Qaeda executed final full land aggression on Syria from the Entity and Jordan and the subsequent UN legalisation of the occupied, and quite likely, the remainder of yet unstolen Golan by the Zionist Entity, which was almost certainly the principal driving purpose of the war of aggression on Syria, with the intention to break it up so that The Zionist Entity "would not owe any more stolen land to anyone" from the UN point of view
So, it must be made clear by the Western non-Partners in Russia and Iran that the only way that "Assad can go" may be through free, democratic, UN monitored elections with only Syrian citizens prior to 2011 being allowed to vote (no mujahedeen, Turkic or salafist settlers and other FUKZUS or Saudi/Turkish sponsored ethnic clensers of Idlib and the adjacent areas).

Yeah one of the most outrageous comments on the news last night was when they were talking about how things might go if Assad is forced out of power. Top of the list was ensure that the Syrian people are fully involved in selecting their new president.
News Bulletin: The Syrian people were "fully involved" back in their 2014 presidential election, in which they overwhelmingly (88.7%) granted Assad a third seven-year term

Bannon, Kushner Agree To Stop Fighting, "Bury The Hatchet"

Following several days of media reports that Trump is close to parting ways with his closest advisors, either chief strategist Steve Bannon who recently was removed from Trump's National Security Council due to his imploding relationship with Jared Kushner, or chief of staff, Reince Priebus, who has been rumored to be the fall guy for the failure to pass Obamacare, or both men combined, moments ago Reuters reported that Bannon and Jared Kushner met and agreed to "bury the hatchet" over their differences, according to a senior administration official said on Saturday.
The end of the feud supposedly comes as it has "distracted from President Donald Trump's message" although in recent weeks many are increasingly unsure just what that message is, and even more confused that it suddenly appears to echo the message of Hillary Clinton.
As Reuters details, Bannon and Kushner, reportedly Trump's most influential adviser not to mention his son-in-law, met on Friday at the request of Reince Priebus who told them that if they have any policy differences, they should air them internally, the official said. The development came at the end of what Reuters dubbed "a relatively smooth week for Trump" which is an interesting way of describing the launch of airstrikes against what may well be a premeditated "false flag" in a bid to boost one's approval rating.
Prebus' message to Bannon and Kushner was to "stop with the palace intrigue" and focus on the president's agenda, the official told Reuters. Both aides left having agreed that it was time to "bury the hatchet and move forward," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
A slightly different version comes from Axios, which reports that Trump himself addressed his feuding inner circle: "You guys are close. Knock it off. Work together."
In addition to Kushner, Bannon had sparred with economic adviser Gary Cohn (or, as Bannon's allies call him, "Globalist Gary"), and suspected the economic adviser was trying to undermine nationalists in the West Wing.
And to think everyone in the press lumped Bannon and Cohn in the same boat just because they both worked for Goldman at some point in the past.
Amusingly, four former advisers to the president said Trump is accustomed to chaos in his decades-long career as a real estate developer but that even he has grown weary of the infighting. "He's got a long fuse for that kind of thing," said one former adviser. "I imagine he has gotten tired of this."
On Friday afternoon, the White House dismissed persistent talk that Trump might be on the verge of a staff shakeup. "The only thing we are shaking up is the way Washington operates as we push the president's aggressive agenda forward," spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said. It wasn't clear if she was referring to Trump's missile attack on Syria which is a continuation of policies implemented by the Military-Industrial Complex under both the Bush and Obama administrations.
While the Trump White House has been a hotbed of palace intrigue since he took office, the drama has intensified after the failed effort to get healthcare legislation approved by the House of Representatives and the rocky rollout of an executive order attempting to temporarily ban citizens of six Muslim-majority nations from entering the United States.
Bannon, former chief of the conservative news organization Breitbart News, has been at odds with Kushner and Gary Cohn, the head of the White House National Economic Council, an administration official and the four former advisers said.
The former Trump advisers said Kushner, husband of Trump daughter Ivanka Trump, is trying to tug the president into a more mainstream position, while Bannon is trying to keep aflame the nationalist fervor that carried Trump to his unexpected election victory on Nov. 8.
Bannon is getting some of the blame for the administration's early stumbles because, one former adviser said, "The president demands results." Others have pinned the blame on Priebus who former advisors said is at fault for not gaining control of the feuding and said Cohn, a former Goldman Sachs executive, would be a candidate to replace him.
Bill Daley, a former White House chief of staff to President Barack Obama, who got pushed out in a shakeup himself after roughly a year into the job, said it appears that inside the Trump White House there's a struggle for "the soul and brain of the president." And considering that it is Gary Cohn who stand to win, and be promoted should either Bannon or Priebus lose their position, the struggle is really whether or not instead of merely running the Fed and deciding the cost of money, Goldman will have unfettered control over the executive brand as well.

Seems Bannon will have to 'out' himself like all the rest as final positions are taken for the NWO rollout... if he exits, he could go vocal and be a problem... and he might need to seek protection from those he just left....just saying... perhaps exit with some 'insurance' protection?

It might be that some of this reshuffle is to show The Dark Side that they are winning control of The Donald. Then maybe they (TDS) can wallow in their sea of wishful thinking. I can't imagine Bannon going anywhere. Even if he leaves TWH staff, likely he will continue in this work, in a more peaceful environment.
