  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.

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.

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.”...
