  Right-wing Snowflakes: the Ultimate in Racism, Hypocrisy and Intolerance By David Starr Rather than confront the darker side of the United States and learn how the present has been shaped by past actions, there are those within the U.S. population who refuse, or are afraid of, learning about inconvenient truths. Instead, they dwell in the past, trying to revive the old United States in an effort to be exceptional, to be ultranationalists.   There are white folks who are offended by discussing inconvenient truths like racism, among other “taboo” subjects. They don’t want their children to feel uncomfortable about having an honest examination of the USA’s past and its connection to the present.    One of the “taboo” subjects that fire up the right-wing is respecting the rights of the LGBT community. Based on religious fanatism, they are dead set in shutting out this demographic. If they are challenged for their intolerance, they pathetically try to play the victim. T...

  Israeli Influence: Part of a Major Threat to Shut Down Dissent in the United States   By David Starr   Repression has become evident in the United States when it comes to criticism against Israel. The recent abduction of Mahmoud Khalil – a graduate of Columbia who lead protests against the Israel genocide in Gaza in 2024 in the encampments at the university – has become a sign that threatens dissent in the United States.   Freedom of speech? Not when it comes to holding Israel accountable as a rogue nation  committing mass murder . The right-wing government and its supporters in and out Israel, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, try to impose religious supremacy as part of a scheme to force Palestinians out of Gaza, the West Bank and elsewhere with destructive bombing campaigns and other military actions.    The Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) behaved in a fascistic way with Khalil’s abduction in an example of political repression. This sounds Stalines...

The USA Airstrikes on Yemen: Barbarity Disguised as “Righteous Indignation”   By David Starr   In an all-too-familiar decision made by the United States, given its superiority complex, the U.S. military conducted airstrikes on Yemen, thus excising its imperial and delusional fetish for war.    U.S. “President” Donald Trump once again lied and contradicted himself about using military force, previously given the impression that he is seeking peaceful solutions to conflicts. Of course, he lied and contradicted himself on many occasions. Total erratic behavior.    In a post  on  Twitter  (X), Jeffrey St. Clair of Counterpunch magazine stressed that “ Trump bombed Yemen even though it was abiding by the ceasefire that both Israel and now the US have breached!” Analyst Ben Norton replied to St. Clair’s post, saying that “The US empire is punishing Yemen because it’s one of the very few countries that is actually trying to stop Isreal’s US-sponsore...

  The Right-Wing in the USA: Dumbed-Down and Dangerous By David Starr With the Trump regime back in power, there’s an even more dangerous scenario where the right will try to obliterate anything that is “un-American.” Their calls for freedom, liberty and democracy are meaningless distractions from their real agenda: an agenda that prioritizes hate, intolerance, persecution, ultranationalism, greed and, yes, fascism. These individuals are not only dangerous. They are dumbed-down. Or, using a more direct term, stupid.  There is gross incompetence among the right, with Trump-appointed characters of the billionaire class. Their general concern is profiteering. And to hell with everything and everyone else. That’s what it comes down to. And they are really unqualified for the positions they were appointed to in the Trump regime. There is an article written by Andrew Latham that was  published in   The Hill , titled, “Calling Trump ‘fascist’ displays historical ignorance.”...

  The International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines: Opposing and Exposing Rights Violations of the Marcos Jr. Regime By David Starr   Since the 1890s, the U.S. empire has militarily occupied the Philippines, usually with catastrophic results.   One organization that is putting a light on rights violations committed by the USA and Philippine elites is the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP). It takes a strong stance overall against U.S. occupation of the Philippines, and against the Filipino leaders/officials who have been and are subservient to said occupation over the decades.   In a February 14, 2025  report from  ICHRP, titled “Stop U.S. Meddling in the Philippines!,” it stated that “US meddling in the Philippines, and direct US involvement in counterinsurgency operations, stand contrary to the people’s aspiration for genuine peace and sovereignty.” And the sovereignty of the Philippines has been repeatedly ...

  Elon Musk and His Parasitical Con Game By David Starr There was film that came out of South Korea titled, “Parasite.” Mr. Slick, i.e., Elon Musk,  said he liked the film . Actually, the film was interesting where a poor family clung on to a rich one, desparately trying to take advantage whenever they can. It apparently was a film that emphasized class conflicts and what one would do in such conflicts.   But the only thing that the film had in common with Musk was the title, “Parasite.” Yes, most people know that’s what Elon Musk is. His place in the Trump regime allows him to impose “free” market opportunism, where many would experience hardship from the financial chaos. The impression given is that Musk has been trying, or still tries, to throw his weight around in the regime.    There was  an article that came out  in  Medium  in October 2024 that skewers Musk thoroughly in its content and tone. Dash McIntyre pulled no punches as he accus...

  Propaganda Peddlers for Apartheid Israel By David Starr   Hardline supporters of Israel, and thus, support for Israeli apartheid, have had a lot to say about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They have resorted to fear and hysteria in their attempts at “justifying” what they believe is a “righteous cause.”    But with the obvious being evident in Israel’s attempted genocide, ethnic cleansing and war crimes, the hardline supporters fervently ignore these violations of international law, and continue to back, whether they know it or not, the carrying out of these violations by a fascist Israeli government, and its supporters.   Examples of this denial from the hardliners has been so contrary to the continuing reality of what Palestinians are going through.    U.S. Senator Marco Rubio is a major example of warmongering and imperialism. He said that the sanctions that were put on violent Israeli settlers by the Biden regime are to be lifted, something th...
