  The Ibrahim Traore Phenomenon   By David Starr   Going back decades up to now, individuals have rebelled against and condemned the current capitalist world order; as well as implementing real change contrary to that order.  Karl Marx ,  Vladimir Lenin ,  Fidel Castro ,  Che Guevara ,  Patrice Lumumuba ,  Thomas Sankara ,  Rosa Luxemburg  and a host other individuals, both male and female, are major examples of those who have challenged the world order and to change it.    It’s not to say that they were pure as the driven snow, but they were sincerely concerned with the countries they lived in and most of the people in those countries in regards to looking directly at the causes of the poverty and violence many faced, the Global South being the prime example.   Recently, there is an individual who has stood out as a major force to combat poverty and the violence of colonialism and imperialism, the West being the main...

Right-Wing Media: All the Bullshit That’s Fit to Print   By David Starr   For decades, right-wing media has peddled more lies than anything else. In recent history, the right-wing media has  become a caricature  out of George Orwell’s novel “1984.”  A lot of doublespeak.    The media sure got off on the  landslide victory  of friendly fascist Ronald Reagan over the lukewarm Walter Mondale in the real year, 1984. Orwell’s title of his novel couldn’t be more appropriate. The  media, and Reagan’s followers , verbally masturbated enthusiastically over his victory.   While the right-wing media has been a cheerleader for right-wingers and conservatives over the years, it’s really gotten down to the absurd…and the insane. The “news” coverage has been  especially slavish  to the whims of Donald Trump, albeit, with subtle criticism. Very subtle.    There have been quite a number conservative/right-wing media outlets ...

  Israel May Become Nonexistent for Its Aggression, and It’s Israel That is to Blame By David Starr   Critics opposing Israel say that its military actions have as a  result created  one of the worst wars in the 21 st century. It’s just as bad as WWII because of Israel’s own Holocaust against Palestinians, committing war crimes such as attempted genocide and ethnic cleansing. And Israel’s fascist leaders, and their supporters, remain unapologetic, still continuing its barbaric actions against not only Palestinians, but also neighboring countries.   A  major factor  imposed for Israel’s objectives is oppressing others for not succumbing to Israel’s myths of religious supremacy. Believing unproven stories in the Bible, many Israelis want to impose a “Greater Israel” in the Middle East. This, obviously, is a dangerous idea and will only cause more tensions and hardships in the region.   But  behind Israel’s actions  is the United States emp...

  The Moral Bankruptcy of the Anti-Defamation League     By David Starr   On March 03, 2025 Anti-Defamation League (ADL) CEO Jonathan Greenblatt made a  speech  for the State of Hate / Never Is Now 2025 campaign. It was specifically a press release. In it, Greenblatt conjures up the same old stereotypes about how pro-Palestinian supporters are agents of Hamas, as well as terrorists. And he, like always with hardline Israeli supporters, whipped out the anti-Semitic card for practically any criticism made by people who oppose Israel’s attempted genocide and ethnic cleansing military campaigns.   Greenblatt said that “after months of allowing the harassment, intimidation, and even violence against Jewish students and faculty, many university presidents, certainly not all, but many have discovered the virtues of actually enforcing their policies on encampments and harassment.”   True, there is a reemergence of anti-Semitism but it’s not from Pale...
