  The United States is Pulling the Strings of its Right-wing Puppets in Latin America By David Starr It has always been that way: the United States empire has been supporting right-wing tyrants and psychopaths for decades. And today it’s a continuation of business-as-usual. Certain nations like Colombia, Honduras and Ecuador had presidential elections and the “victors” were right-wingers, i.e., Trump worshippers. They are in the typical mold of right-wing puppets. They want to try and impose more neoliberalism and have their countries once again become U.S. market satellites. They also want U.S. military bases imposed on the countries they rule. When it comes down to it, those far-right fanatics are traitors to their own countries, with U.S. imperialism backing them up. It would not be surprising if those elections were fixed to favor the far-right. The U.S. empire had made a tradition out of interfering in Latin American, and Caribbean, countries, insidiously and cynically operati...

  Israeli Settlers: the Violence and Crimes of Fascist Thugs By David Starr In the Old Testament of the Bible , the Israelites were ordered by their god to slaughter neighboring tribes because the latter believed in a different religion. To this day, that behavior still exists among Zionists, who led a brutal conflict in 1948 against Palestinians who already lived in what was called Palestine. There was mass killing and forced relocation. Over the decades Israel gradually expanded further into Palestine, stealing land and operating what can be called an apartheid nation, i.e., Israel itself.  Israeli settlers played a major role in that expansion, and they are continuing with this objective in a not surprising series of incidents characterized by violence and the committing of crimes. Those settlers, like other Israelis,  take their Bible seriously to the point of fanaticism . They think it’s their destiny to establish a “Jewish home” called “Greater Israel.” I call this ...

  Will the Left Wing of the Democratic Party Follow Through on its Promises? By David Starr Left/Progressive Democrats have exploded on the political scene in the United States. Reactions have ranged from praise to panic. Much of the Democratic base is fired up, and fed up with corporate democrat policies. ”Bi-partisanship” and “centrism” are somewhat outdated. And come November 2026, when the midterm elections are held, I expect more Left/Progressives to win. In all, the Democrats will probably take the House and the Senate. A skeptic may wonder if Left/Progressives are for real. Promises have been made. Looking at New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani  in his first 100 days , he has already fulfilled some promises, like $1.2 billion in universal childcare, $34 million to help tenants, 9.3 million for worker and small business interests, and $100,000 eliminating potholes in roads. Then there is Abdul El-Sayed, who won a Democratic primary election in Michigan, edging out pro-Israel f...

  The Hysteria of the U.S. Establishment: A Red Scare Redux By David Starr Socialism has somewhat increased  in popularity in the United States. The recent elections have put Democratic Socialists at the center of attention in U.S. politics. And this is making the U.S. establishment sweat. With that comes the reactions characterized by hysteria in its propaganda. It’s as though we’ve traveled back to the 1950s, and even after that with Cold War I raging between the United States and the Soviet Union. Now we are in Cold War II and the propaganda sounds pathetically familiar.  The right-wing and corporate neoliberals  have tried to bombard  the U.S. public with appeals to fear, and hysteria. They spout out anti-communist rhetoric and socialist stereotypes. And most of the time they fail to understand the actual meanings of communism and socialism. For one thing communism hasn’t really existed . Being an epoch, it would take more than 74 years for it to be establis...
