•  Trump  was legitimately elected by the standards of capitalist " democracy " in America. We cannot encourage a " shadow government " coup . A MASS MOVEMENT- a socialist revolution- would have the moral authority to dismiss the whole ruling class government - right down to some dumb local judge.

Endless BORING Trump / Russia collusion investigation

Why Trump Will Fire Mueller — And Why We Need To Be Ready

 

The working class LEFT is opposed to the FAKE NEWS ( Russia collusion ) of the mainstream news media and the increasingly BIPARTISAN New McCarthyism - psychological preparation of the American people for the insanity of nuclear World War III .

             Also remarkable : the BOREDOM of the endless Trump/ Russia investigation . It can only end with a yawn - if not a yawn into the abyss.

Coming American revolution - more like Old Testament wrath than " mindless rage "

The American plutocracy - and their two party system - has sabotaged " Democracy in America ". Don't imagine that Vladimir Putin - himself a capitalist- has undermined our PERFECT political system. The American working class in no way benefits from the New McCarthyism - psychological preparation for nuclear World War III . Who speaks for the American working class in the halls of power in Washington, D.C ?

 

 " [ Amazon has a special on tin foil hats right now, Ivan. If you get a good quality one I am sure that you can work that mindless rage into something coherent.] "

 

The coming working class revolution in the USA will be more like Old Testament wrath than " mindless rage ". Check out the World Socialist Web Site or my daily blog.

Has not Edward Snowden showed us how Orwellian fascist the USA is becoming ?

What was the Bernie Sanders " political revolution " all about ? In fact , how do you explain working class voter enthusiasm - loud in the streets - for Donald Trump ?

 To be sure , " Hawk Hillary ", " Wall St. Hillary ", the Queen of the Status Quo,
was clueless and out of touch with average Americans - who have been CHEATED by the two party system for years .

The Democrat and Republican leaders were not working for another country ; they were and still are working for another CLASS - the ONE PERCENT , the American plutocracy.

    To be sure , plutocrat Trump was not the solution to their misery. But he at least had an ear to it.
Vladimir Putin had nothing to do with Hillary Clinton's defeat.

Has not Edward Snowden - despised by Hilary - showed us how Orwellian FASCIST the USA was becoming -even while Obama was president ?

The " liberal " Democrats hate and fear real socialism

Trump again calls Russia probe 'witch hunt' as possible 1st indictment looms

Nonsense !    No " shadow government " plot against President Donald Trump will do any favors for " democracy " in America.     Only the false friends of organized labor and the working class in the Democratic Party think anything goes in getting rid of a LEGITIMATE president that they don't like.

 To be sure, Trump was not the right guy to promote their vicious and stupid " identity politics ".

  The whole purpose of this " identity politics " is to fragment working class consciousness.

 The " liberal " Democrats hate and fear any real " socialism "- including Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

 More fake news ?
 

Shameless mainstream news media and the New McCarthyism : Have you no decency ?

Grand Jury Approves First Charges In Mueller's Russia Investigation

 

Can any thinking working class American voter figure out why having business contacts with Russians is any more sinister than having business contacts with the Israel lobby ?

   What has Russia done- to US ordinary people- to justify a new cold war ? It does seem that the New McCarthyism will soon have bipartisan support- but can you start nuclear World War III without working class consent ?

              The mainstream news media is as disgraceful and shameless as in the days of Joe McCarthy. Have you no decency ?

Who speaks for the American working class in the halls of power in Washington , D.C. ?

So what if " Corrupt Hillary " had closer ties to Russian hustler liars than Donald Trump ?

How Russian Propaganda Spreads On Social Media

I suspect that Republicans are about to snatch the New McCarthyism from discredited and dishonored- not too credible - Democrats. So the two party system in the USA - backed by the mainstream news media , by the CIA , the FBI , the Pentagon, the ubiquitous Israel lobby- is no match for those fiendishly clever Russian Internet rogues ?

Were it not for Satan Putin those working class voters in the Rust Belt states would never have fallen out of love with the Clintons ? What more can you want than " Hawk Hillary ", " Wall St. Hillary ", " Corrupt Hillary ", " Queen of the Status Quo " Hillary ?

And so what if " Corrupt Hillary " had closer ties to Russian con artist, hustler liars than " The Donald " ?

Nothing any CEO knows or does entitles him or her to a swinish share of the collective wealth

Poll: America is as sorely divided as during Vietnam era

What divides the USA fundamentally is CLASS inequality. The two party system serves the American plutocracy -and only pretends to be concerned with the special problems of various " identity " groups. Indeed the whole purpose of DNC based " identity politics " is to fragment working class consciousness. The HATE RUSSIA New McCarthyism - soon to be taken over by the Republicans - is programmed to undermine international working class solidarity. 

The very word SOCIALISM reduces the intellectual hacks of the mainstream news media to a state of mental incompetence. 

You would think that a study of History has taught them that capitalism is forever, that the American Century is forever. But economic systems are as mortal as individuals. The Founding Fathers and their American Constitution were not endowed with absolute political wisdom , good for all times. 

Nature did not make RICH PEOPLE and POOR PEOPLE. And there is nothing any CEO does or knows that entitles him or her to a swinish share of the collective wealth. We socialists have always questioned the moral legitimacy of " legitimate " wealth.

Sexual McCarthyism gone berserk in the Democratic Party ?

Sexual Harassment Claims Made Against Prominent BU Scientist

Is it not only principled morality not to make claims of sexual harassment against a known gentleman without being prepared to let him defend himself in the court ?
The ILLIBERAL LIBERAL Democratic Party is a case of " identity politics " gone berserk. Call it sexual McCarthyism . Will this unify a Democratic Party as moribund as the Republican Party ?

Was Lee Harvey Oswald indeed a CIA " patsy " ?

JFK files: Thousands released but Trump holds back others

The Friday , October 27, 2017 printed edition of the Providence Journal shows a still questionable photo of JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald holding a rifle in his left hand and a newspaper ( whitened out ? ) in his right hand. That newspaper's identity was clear enough back in 1963: " The Militant " , published by the Trotskyist Socialist Workers Party . 

I was a presidential elector in Rhode Island for this SWP way back in 1980 . Oswald , a strange and sinister character, would never have fit in to  this highly principled revolutionary socialist party. To be sure, it always condemned acts of individual terrorism as profoundly undemocratic and highly reactionary. 

More than 50 years later I still wonder : was that picture a CIA fake ? Was Lee Harvey Oswald indeed a " patsy " ?

Was that famous picture of Lee Harvey Oswald with " The Militant " a CIA fake ?

Newly released documents point to state cover-up and complicity in assassination of John F. Kennedy

There is a famous picture of Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald holding a copy of " The Militant ". The name of the SWP's publication seems to be whitened out in the printed edition of yesterday's Providence Journal - not the way I remember it vividly back in 1963.

Was it paranoia for me to suspect a CIA frame up ? To be sure, , Oswald was a strange and sinister character, possibly a mental case. He would never fit in to the Trotskyist party that back then put out this first rate newspaper.

Like Trotsky himself , the SWP always condemned acts of individual terrorism . And indeed they condemned the Kennedy assassination.

Could that picture of Lee Harvey Oswald with " The Militant " be FAKE NEWS ?

Honest socialists would today also condemn any plots against the life of President Trump as profoundly undemocratic and reactionary.

In recent decades I understand that the Socialist Workers Party has strayed from its revolutionary past.

" [Some serious problems exist with these photos (Warren Exhibits 133 A, 133 B, and 133 C), as clarified in Fake. In 133 A, the famous Life Magazine photo, no one has ever been able to duplicate the hand gripping of the rifle, as Lee did. Also, the right shoulder slumps, as you can clearly see. These are signs of sloppy touch up work. Most troublesome, is the fact that there are no fingernails on the right hand, the hand holding the leftist newspaper The Militant. Puzzling also, is the fact that shadows fall in different positions, even though the snapshots were taken very close together in time.]

Good luck to talk radio personality John DePetro with his entertaining sarcasm

John DePetro says he's left talk show at Newport radio station

I guess talk radio personality John DePetro was consigned to talk radio Siberia. I lost track of him recently. He could be crude and " offensive " . For example, he could not mention " liberal " Providence Journalist columnist Bob Kerr - an excellent writer- without the clowning " Comrade Kerr ". But often enough he did speak truth to power- with Donald Trump finesse. 

I was completely opposed to the campaign to fire him . Here ILLIBERAL LIBERALISM triumphed over the FREE SPEECH tradition in America. 

Democratic Party second vice chairman Joseph DeLorenzo has been treated very viciously by this neo-con, war mongering party now in the vanguard of vicious " identity politics " and sexual McCarthyism, and HATE RUSSIA New McCarthyism. 

Being super politically correct does not hide their CLASS snobbery so obvious to working class Rhode Island voters. In general the ruling class - male and female- use their authority and economic power to command all kinds of abject servility from the working class majority. 

The hard core of the Democratic Party now consists of nasty privileged feminists, the always " offended " black bourgeoisie, the pro-Hillary Israel lobby, and rather self-absorbed gay rights zealots. No wonder the working class Left in Rhode Island favored " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders in April 2016 state primary. By the way , irate feminists loathed Bernie Sanders' " political revolution ". " 

Good luck to John DePetro with his entertaining sarcasm. There is some humor on the " far right " too.

Bertrand Russell was very skeptical of Warren Commission Report on the assassination of President Kennedy

Trump expected to release remaining JFK assassination documents Thursday
               

If the US " shadow government " played a role in the assassination of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X , it is hardly incredible that it plotted the assassination of President Kennedy . I thought the Warren Commission Report was credible enough until reading " Bertrand Russell's America " . The old British philosopher was very skeptical .

Animal Shelters should recognize " freedom of information " rights AFTER a beloved pet is adopted

October Is Adopt A Shelter Dog Month: Gov. Raimondo

Weeks before she passed away from liver center cancer last April at the Providence Hope Hospice Center my beloved woman companion, Dorene Rousseau, had to give up our beloved pets ( " our girls " ) " Dottie " and " Mindy " at the wonderful animal shelter on Elbow St. in Providence. It broke our hearts but we could not continue to care for them at Randal Manor in Cranston.

Dorene was pleased -if tearful - that " Dottie " and " Mindy " were adopted together, having lived together for five years. I told Dorene that she had given " our girls " the gift of life.

However , the beloved pets had many friends here. We would like to know how dear " Dottie " and " Mindy " are doing now. The Elbow St. animal shelter does not give much thought to this sentimental need to " stay in touch " .

There are not a few anti-Zionist HUMANIST Jews

Letter: Doug Wardwell: America must retain values to be 'light of world'

".. we must rise above it all to embrace and practice belief in the God who made us all. " Among the " progressive " Democrats there has been too much mocking of religion. Just this morning we hear " Corrupt Hillary " deploring RELIGIOUS people who reject the Democratic Party. I guess the Zionists who support " Hawk Hillary " - the Israel Lobby in general - are not the religious type. 

In particular, Hillary Clinton is contemptuous of Roman Catholics who take their faith seriously enough to not vote for neo-con, war mongering Democrats - so appealing to the New Atheists. 

There are not a few anti-Zionist HUMANIST Jews. One of them was the late famous scientist Oliver Sacks . In his autobiography " Uncle Tungsten " he expresses his disgust with Zionist " bullies ". 
Isaac Asimov was also contemptuous of Israel's claim to moral virtue.

No war of the sexes at the top of the plutocracy

George H.W. Bush Responds To Groping Allegations

Again and again the news is about " powerful men " rudely and stupidly groping any attractive female within touching distance. Rarely would any working class male lewdly approach a higher economic status female. But in general the ruling class - males and females- routinely commands servile and humiliating behavior from their working class " inferiors ".

I just heard that rich people-male and female- in France are openly offering to their YOUNG & PRETTY social inferiors -male and female - MONEY for SEX.

What we are dealing with here is general CLASS oppression - not the general oppression of the female sex.

In all countries ruling class males and ruling class females are partners in crime: exploiting the working class and instigating wars everywhere.

To be sure , Hillary Clinton and Henry Kissinger - both war criminals - understand and respect each other. No war of the sexes at the TOP of the plutocracy.

In the USA we have both the Orwellian Anti Sex League and the most available SMART PHONE pornography

Why Are American Women Only Half-Liberated?

Why not take the next logical step and protest the institution of bourgeois marriage -based on capitalist PRIVATE PROPERTY - often murderously quarreled over in the divorce courts ?

 In a democratic socialist society women will not get rich by an upwardly mobile marriage . But also men will not be enslaved by a socially isolated family - condemned to a wretched individual struggle for existence.

    In a socialist society men and women can have " marriage " as monogamous as they can stand, but THE LAW will be out of it. A women can have one lover or one hundred lovers . Who cares ? Economic " seduction " will be all but impossible. There will be no puritanical condemnation of natural sexuality - which has its own natural rhythms.

               How do you explain an Orwellian " Anti-Sex League " hysteria in the USA along with the most vulgar -and SMART PHONE AVAILABLE - pornography ( in which the prurient can witness MALE & FEMALE shockingly and blissfully uninhibited ?

            We do need a socialist SANE SOCIETY .

Is capitalist wage slavery consistent with women's liberation ?

 

Why Are American Women Only Half-Liberated?  

It is absurd to pose this question : why are American women only half liberated ? without any reference to the sociology of CLASS in America .

      Are working class MALES - employed or unemployed - fully liberated in this land of the free and home of the brave ?

          The intellectual servants of the ruling class have a near pathological neurosis about avoiding the CLASS issue. What have socialist women feminists said about female liberation for more than 100 years ? Check out Evelyn Reed , for example : " Women's Evolution " . Reed was a long time member of the Socialist Workers Party in the USA.

" Uncle Tom's Cabin " would be BANNED IN BOSTON today

Mississippi school district removes To Kill a Mockingbird from curriculum 

Just a week ago I came across an old edition of " Uncle Tom's Cabin " and browsing it in the quaint antique store I could guess that this classic anti-slavery novel would be BANNED IN BOSTON schools today.
                            From  a book review of " Uncle Tom's Cabin "

 "  [ Such considerations did not occur to Harriet Beecher Stowe. Not only does she use language (for example, negro — and sometimes negress — with a small n) that was polite in her time but is not in ours, and not only do her characters, even some of the sympathetic ones, say nigger all too frequently, but Stowe in her role as narrator often takes time out to tell her readers what black people are like: They are home-loving rather than adventurous, for example; they have admirable but highly exotic taste in clothing and décor; and, of course, they generally have simple, childish hearts.. ] "


 

                 In general, the " identity politics " WAR ON WORDS has been ludicrous for decades now. It is truly Orwellian: the idea that by eliminating words , you can erase thoughts .

                 All of us may use insensitive words now and then. If a blue collar worker loses his job over racist language, will that make him less racist ( if he is indeed racist ) - if he can no longer feed his family ?

                 Real racism is characterized by implacable malice not random crude language.

  The same is true of anti-Semitism. The mainstream capitalist news media does seem to equate anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism. ( In his autobiography , " Uncle Tungsten " the famous scientist Oliver Sacks describes his family in the early days of World War II having unpleasant experiences with Zionist " bullies " ) .

                  And just WHO gets to decide the criteria for " hate speech " in oh-so- democratic America ? The " progressive " Hillary Democrats ?

                                   Oliver Sacks : " I came to hate Zionism.... "

 

[ I never heard [my parents] talk between themselves about Palestine or Zionism, and I suspected they had no strong convictions on the subject, at least until after the war, when the horror of the Holocaust made them feel there should be a “National Home.” I felt they were bullied by the organizers of these meetings, and by the gangsterlike evangelists who would pound at the front door and demand large sums for yeshivas or “schools in Israel.” My parents, clearheaded and independent in most other ways, seemed to become soft and helpless in the face of these demands, perhaps driven by a sense of obligation or anxiety. My own feelings […] were passionately negative: I came to hate Zionism and evangelism and politicking of every sort, which I regarded as noisy and intrusive and bullying. ]

Protester Throws Russian Flags At Trump As He Arrives For Capitol Hill Tax Lunch

It is a deranged McCarthyism indeed - " liberal fascism " ? - that would throw Russian flags at President Donald Trump more than a quarter of a century after the collapse of the old Soviet Union.
So many " liberal " Democrats are condemning Trump in the right wing tone of the old McCarthyism. Are they " soft on socialism " ?

          Our " democracy " was sabotaged by the two party system, by the FAKE NEWS media, by the Establishment USA , by pro-Hillary Democrats.

A democratic socialist society would check wealthy sexual predators

 

Letter: Tyler Will: Raimondo comments on harassment fell short
               

" Disrespect for human dignity is a challenge for society. " The American ruling class - males and females- daily use their economic power to command servility from the working class- even the lesser status middle class. Sexual humiliation is only part of the picture. 

         The " liberal " Democrats invariably have no quarrel with the capitalist system. Note in these sex soap operas in the news there is an upper class male who imagines that he has a license to act boorish even with subordinate upper class -often ambitious- like Elizabeth Warren or Teresa Tanzi - females.

           In general, the root of the evil of sexual harassment is economic inequality. In a democratic socialist society boorish males would not have the means to force themselves on women not attracted to them. They would be desperately in need of real charm.               

Decent women- not identity politics warriors- still accept apologies for male boorishness

RI Democratic official apologizes for remarks on sexual harassment

So called " progressive " Rhode Island Democrats are turning into the storm troopers of DNC based " identity politics ". 

The sexual soap opera traumas of high status females will not interest a working class wife with a beloved but unemployed husband and four kids to feed. There is more drama for her in Governor Gina Raimondo's dysfunctional  ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE new state computers. 

Decent women still accept apologies for male boorishness.
