Nice to see that one of my best pupils is still a giant Trump fan. Steve joined me after I won the primaries, but I loved working with him! pic.twitter.com/jRpmdrGYTB

Steve Bannon, former Trump staffer and head of conservative news site Breitbart, said cryptocurrencies “have a big future” due to the current geopolitical atmosphere.
“[I] think they could be a very important part going forward particularly in this global populist revolt,” Bannon said.
Echoing Trump, Bannon said the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy has been too tight and that cryptocurrencies present a meaningful alternative to fiat-based investments.R
When asked about Facebook’s digital currency project Libra, Bannon said it will not find friends in the banking community.
“The central banks and actually the banking community want to get in and regulate crypto. They want to still stick to fiat currency,” he said on CNBC’s Squawk Box.
The development of alternative payment rails like Libra presents a challenge to the dollar’s reserve currency status.
“I happen to think that Facebook was principally was against some of the Chinese, Alibaba, Tencent, these payment systems. . . what people have to confront now, [what] people have to start looking at now is how the Chinese and third world countries and sub-Sahara Africa and South Asia and I think potentially in Latin America are starting to put these payment systems in that will try and give them global dominance and get off the reserve currency of the dollar.”
Bannon is no foreigner to cryptocurrency markets. Among other involvements, Bannon’s firm Bannon & Company floated the idea of launching multiple initial coin offerings.

Newt Gingrich, Steve Bannon and Shalabh ‘Shalli’ Kumar Join Other Experts and
Electronics Manufacturers to Address Communist China’s Take-Down of the U.S.
Industrial Base and the Emerging U.S.-India Strategic Partnership
WASHINGTON—On Saturday, June 22, the “Committee on the Present Danger: China” (CPDC) and the
National Indian American Public Policy Institute (NIAPPI) will host a public event, forum and panel discussion to
address the “unrestricted warfare” waged for decades by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) against American
electronics and other manufacturers and the importance of India under the leadership of newly reelected Prime
Minister Narendra Modi in addressing the threat posed by the two nations’ mutual foe: the People’s Republic of
China.
Before an expected crowd of 1,000-plus Hindu-Americans and others in the Chicagoland area, and against the
backdrop of President Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese dictator Xi Jinping next week, this public event will
feature business leaders, past and present senior legislators, subject matter experts and experienced executives in
the American manufacturing sector. It will, among other things, expose the character and devastating effects of the
CCP’s long-running economic warfare against the United States.
CPDC will also be premiering a video addressing China’s premeditated assault and take-down of American
manufacturing, what and how it happened, and how to fight back and bring it back.
Shalabh “Shalli” Kumar, founding chairman of the AVG Group of Companies of Chicago, an electronics
inventor and a manufacturing expert with 50 years of experience, former member of President Reagan’s
Business Advisory Council, and also the founder of the National Indian American Public Policy Institute, will
host former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (by video), Steve Bannon, former Strategic Advisor to President
Trump, Rep. Chris Stewart of Utah, Lt. Gen. Steve Kwast, USAF, and others who are involved with the
CPDC’s efforts to raise public awareness about and encourage official action aimed at countering such Chinese
predations.

Policy Institute (NIAPPI)

how the U.S. and India can collaborate in countering the present danger from the PRC.
WHERE: The Rana-Reagan Community Center, 343 St. Paul Boulevard, Carol Stream, Illinois
