https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/article228008904.htmlSteve Bannon, the former Trump White House adviser and conservative hardliner, will be a special guest of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro for dinner on Monday, the eve of the far-right leaders meeting with President Trump at the White House.
Bannon, who Bolsonaros team has sought out for political guidance, will be among a group of conservative guests joining Bolsonaro at his table for the exclusive event at the Brazilian ambassadors residence, two sources familiar with the meeting said.
Some of the Bolsonaro team on the right see themselves as disciples of the Bannon movement and representatives of Bannon for Brazil and Latin America, said Fernando Cutz, a former acting senior director for Western Hemisphere Affairs at the National Security Council in the Trump administration.
Bolsonaro, a former army captain, will be in Washington next week where he will stay at the Blair House across from the White House and meet with Trump in the Oval Office where discussions will include trade, transnational crime and restoring democracy in Venezuela.

Bolsonaros son, Eduardo Bolsonaro, a Brazilian congressman who some liken to playing a role similar to Trumps son-in-law Jared Kushner at the White House, has boasted of sharing the same worldview as Bannon and spoken of teaming up together to fight cultural Marxism.
Last month, Bannon announced that Eduardo Bolsonaro would represent South America in The Movement, which is Bannons consortium of international leaders who support populist nationalism and reject the influence of globalism.
We will work with him to reclaim sovereignty from progressive globalist elitist forces and expand common sense nationalism for all citizens of Latin America, Eduardo Bolsonaro said about Bannon in a statement at the time.

Bannon, Bolton, Cheney, Kissinger, North - regime change experts. Says so on their business cards so must be true.
Every single f'in time we have tried to subvert the will of the people within a country, we have had our asses handed to us.
Unfortunately it's not the asses of the chicken-hawks and armchair bloviators. It is the lives of civilians and our own personnel who are harmed to play in this war "game".
Put their lives on the front lines. And those of their children, if they are capable of siring such.
