  Is the Trump Regime on the Same Gutter Level as Nazi Germany? By David Starr   There have been comparisons between the Trump regime and the regime in Nazi Germany and, at least to some degree, the comparisons are accurate.    Like the Nazi regime during 1930s Germany and World War II, the Trump regime has been grossly militaristic, racist and has had extermination as a goal. The Nazis were more outspoken about these things but the Trump regime, hiding behind a veneer of false justification, has imitated their tactics and has a similar long-term goal.    The comparisons have been evident for years now. For example,  The Guardian   published a piece  in June 2024, titled “The Reich Stuff – What Does Trump really Have in Common With Hitler?” Quoting writer David Smith, “When Donald Trump shared a video that dreamed of a ‘unified reich,’ if he won the US presidential election, and took nearly a full day to remove it, the most shocking thing was...

  More Savagery From Trump and Netanyahu By David Starr   By now it is crystal clear that everyone (except those in denial) sees the actions of Trump and Netanyahu as being savage. Sometimes those who claim to be the most civilized are prone to committing the most savagery.   The lies to start a war with Iran bear this out. The rhetoric has been  disgusting and pathetic . Trump declared that he is conducting his war to free the Iranian people, to implement regime change, with Iranians  overthrowing the theocratic government.   There are  more lies  from Trump and his regime that were published by  Mondoweiss , asserting that they are hardly credible.    While it is true that a theocracy is not actually democratic, most Iranians are not rushing to the barricades to topple the government. In fact, they have come out to support the government to stop and oppose the U.S. empire and its “spoiled child” Israel from continuing the car...

  So, What the Hell is Communism and Socialism, Really? By David Starr   The words communism and communist have been used frequently for decades, in particular, during the Cold War. The propaganda from the West has attempted to classify these words as to be associated with evil and repression.    The East has at times over-glorified these words to the point of virtually being associated with religion.   Both associations are wrong.   There is a book entitled  Let History Judge  by Roy Medvedev, a Soviet historian and a Marxist. This book has been a big influence on me as Medvedev analyses and dissects those “dirty” words. The main objective, however, is a focus on Stalin and Stalinism and the origins and consequences of Stalin’s deformed version of socialism.    This may come off sounding like a book review, but Medvedev has written what is perhaps the best example of looking in-depth at communism, Marxism and socialism; and Stalin’s per...

  The Latest Crimes of the U.S. Empire Against Cuba. By David Starr   Fascist Marco Rubio of the Trump regime  has been goading  Trump to put even more pressure on Cuba. And it has come to pass. Trump initially considered negotiations but has apparently changed his mind due to the prodding of Rubio.    Cuba now has a  gross lack of fuel thanks to the blockade of the empire that is over 60 years old. Not only that, but there is a risk of starvation since other countries are told by the empire that they can’t trade with Cuba. The cruelty is unforgivable.   Whether this continues, however, is questionable. Already the Trump regime is  showing signs of toppling because of its domestic and foreign policies . ICE, Trump’s Gestapo, is feeling the pressure from massive protests that have gone on in Minnesota and elsewhere around the country. Still, ICE thugs want to fulfill quotas imposed by Nazi Stephen Miller, another despicable character of the re...

The Victims of ICE’s Crimes   By David Starr   A huge surge in the amount of protests have erupted in the United States (and worldwide as well). And the target is ICE, which itself has targeted immigrants and those protesting against it, and is known as the Trump regime’s Gestapo. The similarities to Nazi Germany are not that far-fetched.   The victims are not the worst of the worst in criminal behavior. Instead, the worst of the worst are in ICE. The gross violations of U.S. law and the U.S. Constitution by ICE have been repeated over and over again. The many who have been deported, beaten and/or killed bear this out.    And it took the deaths  of Renee Good and Alex Pretti to cause the eruption nation-wide. Before that there were also other victims, mainly because of the racial profiling of black and brown persons. For ICE, and the regime, these people are “undesirables.”    Despite the lame excuses from the DHS and ICE in regards to the cause o...

  ICE Concentration Camps Must Be Abolished, Along With ICE   By David Starr   Given the sadistic and cruel behavior of the thugs in ICE, with, for example, the killings of Renee God and Alex Pretti, there have been many calls to abolish the abominable entity. In turn, that also goes for the ICE concentration camps.   Showing the usual callousness with their rhetoric, the right-wing have made all sorts of excuses to justify ICE’s actions and the camps.  Media Matters   gave examples  of these excuses. Here is a sampling of them:   Carl Higbie,  Newsmax : “ICE agents are coming to get the worst of the worst are somehow the villain here. People who broke our laws to get here…commit half the crime and half of them don’t even speak English.”   Meygan Kelly, podcaster: Referring to the ICE thug who killed Renee Good, Kelly claimed that he was “trying to arrest child molesters and other disgusting violent criminals hurting the children and inn...

  Iranian Protests: The Attempt at another Imperial-backed “Color Revolution” by the West? By David Starr   The term “color revolution” is  supposed to describe  a movement in which the West, especially the U.S. empire, call “peaceful” and “democratic.” The movement is portrayed as being “innocent” by the Western/U.S. media outlets, while its targets are portrayed as evil incarnate.   “Color revolutions”  have had  an array of support from, e.g., foundations that are, knowingly or not, used mainly for U.S. ultra-national interests. And there is a pattern that is similar in nature to these “revolutions.”       There have been various imperial attempts by Western countries, led by the U.S. empire of course, in other areas where governments or regimes have had their own countries facing Western hostility and provocations because those governing are “enemies” of the U.S. empire in particular.   Now, there has been  anothe...
