  Venezuela and Cuba: Two Examples of Brutal Struggles Against the U.S. Empire By David Starr Over the years, Venezuela and Cuba have been bulwarks against the imperial schemes of the United States empire. But despite conditions in both countries being harsh, both have somewhat persevered in protecting their respective revolutions, and their sovereignty. With past U.S. presidents, the hostility from the empire was bad enough. But now with the Trump regime currently in power, it has further reached crisis levels. The following is a look at both countries: Venezuela – The Jan. 3, 2026 kidnapping  of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Ceclia Flores by the empire has really not been shocking since it has been doing similar crimes for decades in Latin America and the Caribbean. What is shocking is interim President Delcy Rodriquez’s capitulation to U.S. dictates, and as well as Israel’s. Rodriquez  established diplomatic relations  with the Zionist/Nazi-like...

  The Insanity of Nazis in Ukraine: The Imprisonment of Socialist Bogdan Syrotjuk for “Treason” By David Starr Nazis have been an influential entity in Ukraine, e.g., during World War II, and now with their reemergence after the 2014 U.S.-backed coup in Ukraine where they came out of the woodwork to attain positions in government and have status in Ukrainian society.

This prompted the Ukrainian security apparatus, i.e., the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) to arrest him in April of 2024. A court charged him with high treason, which would carry a lif...

  U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer Says He Opposes Trump’s Iran War, But For the Wrong Reasons, and Doesn’t Follow Through With His Opposition By David Starr Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a corporate/neoliberal/establishment Democrat,  wouldn’t exactly win a popularity contest  with the Democratic base nowadays. Schumer sticks to the outdated and often-failed strategy of overly-appeasing the Republican base and caves to the GOP in the name of “bi-partisanship.” Things, however, have changed . Bi-partisanship is dead because of the risk of collaborating with the fascist Republican Party.  And it’s proven to be fascist , given its agenda, including Project 2025; spurred on by the Trump regime. Schumer has taken on a “firm” position in opposing Trump’s Iran War. But for the wrong reasons. While Schumer calls the war an utter disaster, he still sticks to the establishment position of demonizing Iran.  While I don’t support theocracies, Iran was atta...
