Concerning ‘’Bombshell’’ Report By the Wall Street Journal

July 19, 2025 Gerald Mcisaac

One of the most highly respected, conservative, ‘’Right Wing’’ newspapers in the country, the Wall Street Journal, WSJ, published a ‘’bombshell’’ article, on July 18, concerning the ‘’Jeffrey Epstein Scandal’’.

Allow me to clarify that previous statement. It is the monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, those who are members of a class of people, technically referred to as the bourgeoisie, who have such high respect for the WSJ. By contrast, those of us who are generally considered to be ‘’Leftist’’, including socialists and Communists, tend to have a somewhat different attitude towards that newspaper.

I mention this, for the benefit of those members of the working class, the proletariat, who are just now becoming politically active. Welcome, my Brothers and Sisters, my Comrades!

That being said, the fact is that I believe in ‘’giving credit where credit is due’’. In this particular case, the WSJ deserves credit for exposing the lies and hypocrisy of Donald Trump.

It is also a fact that the ‘’Jeffrey Epstein Scandal’’, as that is the manner to which it is being referred, has attracted the attention of countless working people. For that reason, it deserves our attention. Not because a convicted sex offender, a pedophile, a child molester, was clearly murdered in prison, but because it is part of a much larger criminal conspiracy, on the part of the bourgeoisie, in an attempt to cover up their crimes.

Now to the matter:

The WSJ alleges that, in 2003, ’’Jeffrey Epstein’s friends sent him bawdy letters for a 50th birthday album.’’ They further allege that ‘’one of those letters was from Donald Trump’’.

As the WSJ went on to state,

‘’The letter bearing Trump’s name, which was reviewed by the Journal, is bawdy- like others in the album. It contains several lines of type written texts, framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand- drawn with a heavy marker.

‘’A pair of small arcs denotes the woman’s breasts, and the future president’s signature is a squiggly line ‘Donald’ below her waist, mimicking pubic hair.

‘’The letter concludes: ‘Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret.’’’

Naturally, Trump denies writing this letter. He certainly cannot deny knowing Epstein, if only because there are numerous pictures and videos of the two of them, apparently ‘’partying’’ together.

In fact, in 2002, Trump said of Epstein, ‘’Terrific guy. I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he loves beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it- Jeffrey enjoys his social life.’’

Now that the WSJ has published an article, alleging that Trump gave Epstein that ‘’bawdy letter’’, Trump is determined to sue the WSJ and ’’media mogul’’, Rupert Murdoch, presumably for slander.

In case people are wondering, there is no law against lying. It may be naughty, but it is not illegal. So even if Trump would love to press charges against them, for ‘’saying terrible things about him’’, he cannot.

What he can do, and is doing, is suing them for slander. And what is slander? It is the ‘’act of uttering false charges or misrepresentations that defame and damage another’s reputation.’’

The key word here is ‘’false’’. As long as the WSJ can prove that the accusations are indeed correct, that Trump did indeed write that ‘’bawdy letter’’ to Epstein, then the lawsuit has no basis.

In the case of the WSJ and Rupert Murdock, they chose to run this story, knowing full well that they would almost certainly face a lawsuit from Trump. For that reason, they must have been first convinced that the letter was written by Trump. What is more, they must have been convinced that they were able to prove it. After all, the WSJ and Murdock have been accused of a great many things. Stupidity in not one of those things!

This begs the question: How does the WSJ plan to prove, in a court of law, that the letter was written by Trump?

The only reasonable answer, is by having an expert on handwriting swear, under oath, that the hand writing is indeed, that of Trump. Otherwise, the WSJ will be forced to pay dearly, for those serious accusations.

No doubt, a great many people are wondering just how the WSJ got their hands on that ‘’bawdy letter’’, or at least a copy of that letter. After all, such a letter could be evidence in a potential criminal case, involving under age girls.

The answer is that, it is almost certain that a member of the FBI, or the DOJ, ‘’leaked’’ this document, to the WSJ. This is to say that an agent of one of those government organizations, slipped a copy to a journalist, one who worked for the WSJ.

This act may, or may not, have been legal. Legal or not, the journalists are under no obligation to reveal their sources. They are protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution. For that reason, all police officers are aware that they can slip to these journalists information which they want to make public, with the understanding of complete confidentiality. In other words, the journalist promises to not mention their name.

Of course, Trump has responded to this, precisely as expected. He is suing the WSJ, and Rupert Murdoch.

It is the opinion of legal experts, that ‘’This lawsuit is the single stupidest thing he could have done! …At the end of the day, the notebook comes out….It is up to Trump to prove the notebook is false…The WSJ has anticipated this, and they are ready for war’’.

How is it that no one is surprised that Trump has, once again, done the ‘’stupidest thing’’ possible? This merely serves to increase the ‘’public curiosity’’, as the mainstream press phrases it.

It is also not at all surprising, that the same mainstream press is careful to avoid any mention of classes! God forbid that the working class should become aware of themselves, as a class! With their own class interests!

It is the duty, of Scientific Socialists, to raise the level of awareness of the working class, the proletariat! The most advanced workers must be raised to the level of Scientific Socialists, aware of the fact that the proletariat is destined to overthrow the completely reactionary class of monopoly capitalists, the bourgeoisie, to smash the existing state apparatus, and to set up a new state apparatus, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat!

The best way to accomplish this, is by becoming involved in that which interests the working people. Hence our concern with the murder of a pedophile, a child molester.

Not that too many people are shedding tears over this. One less pedophile is no great loss. It is his rich clients, the multi billionaires, the members of the class of people known as the bourgeoisie, who paid a small fortune for the ‘’honour and privilege’’ of raping underage girls, with whom we are concerned. Those girls, now adults, are being denied justice!

There can be no doubt, that Epstein was in the business of selling underage girls, to those with great wealth. Just as there can be no doubt that he was murdered, in his prison cell, in order to keep him from talking, from revealing the identity of his ‘’clients’’, the people who paid, most handsomely, to rape those girls!

That previous statement is widely disputed, as the death of Epstein has been officially ruled a suicide. The Medical Examiner conducted an investigation, and issued a ruling of ‘’suicide by hanging’’. Even though such a hanging is simply not possible!

That is the considered opinion of a true expert, a self confessed former mobster, an individual who has spent years in prison, including seven months in the same prison in which Epstein supposedly hung himself.

This is made clear in a video, posted on the internet, titled, ‘’Epstein ‘could not have killed himself’, says inmate held in same cell.’’ As he stated:

‘’There is no way you are able to commit suicide. There is no way to hang yourself. There’s nothing from the ceiling. The beds are too low….As far as the cameras being off, I have not experienced that, or of correctional officers not walking those cells. They look in on you all the time….I do not believe it was suicide. It is almost impossible….There is no way that this person operated alone….He (Epstein) had cameras on every bedroom…and all of a sudden all of it is gone? None of this makes sense…It was young women involved in this, trafficked and abused. I have daughters and grand daughters, and I just do not like it. Anybody involved in this should be held accountable….It has got to stop. If these people are not held accountable, it is just going to continue. And unfortunately it seems like it is people with power and money….there is a lot of stuff that really needs to come out…’’

This is almost certainly true, as mobsters have a certain code. All are family men, with wives and children, including daughters. Women and children are to be protected, not harmed! All sex offenders, and especially child molesters, are held in the utmost contempt!

Yet if we are to be wildly optimistic, and assume that it is possible for someone to somehow hang themselves in prison, then it stands to reason, common sense, that the marks of that noose, would be quite distinctive. It would go from the front, the throat, to higher up on the neck, in back. By contrast, signs of strangulation would go from the throat, directly to the rear, without going higher up.

This fact is well known to all Medical Examiners, those who are responsible for determining the cause of death. To falsify an official document, to state that the cause of death was by suicide, when all evidence indicates murder by strangulation, is a very serious matter. Such a falsification could result in the loss of license of that Medical Examiner. It could also lead to charges of accessory to murder!

Yet all indications are, that is precisely the case! Those whom the mainstream press refers to as the ‘’rich and powerful’’, the ‘’members of the elite’’, are in fact the multi billionaires, monopoly capitalists, members of the ruling class of people referred to as the bourgeoisie.

Concerning the subject of the prison cameras, it has been determined that the video shown was falsified! In a video, posted on the internet, and titled, ‘’Proof: Epstein video edited by feds’’, it states:

‘’Metadata embedded in the video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics experts show that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s surveillance system, the footage was modified, likely using the professional editing tool Adobe Premiere Pro. The file appears to have been assembled from at least two source clips, saved multiple times, exported, and then uploaded to the DOJ’s website, where it was presented as ‘raw’ footage’’.

A great many members of that class of multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie, no doubt paid Epstein, in order to rape underage girls! All of which was video taped by Epstein! For purposes of blackmailing those same clients, no doubt!

Now that the FBI and the DOJ have those videos, they also have the identify of those child molesters, multi billionaires, one and all. It is those videos which are being with held from the public. Not to protect the identity of the victims. But to protect the identity of the child molesters! The multi billionaires!

Strangely enough, this disclosure, by the WSJ, places Scientific Socialists, Communists, in alliance with Rupert Murdoch and Elon Musk. Strictly on this one issue, mind you, that of exposing the conspiracy, of certain multi billionaires, to cover up their rape of countless under age girls.

While this alliance may seem strange, it is not too surprising. In fact, the Communist Manifesto goes into this. In Section 3, Part 2, under the title of ‘’Conservative or Bourgeois Socialism’’, it states:

‘’A part of the bourgeoisie is desirous of redressing social grievances, in order to secure the continued existence of bourgeois society.

‘’To this section belong economists, philanthropists, humanitarians, improvers of the condition of the working class, organizers of charity, members of societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals, temperance fanatics, hole – and- corner reformers of every imaginable kind. This form of socialism has, moreover, been worked out into complete systems.’’

There can be no doubt that both Musk and Murdoch are multi billionaires, and therefore members of the class of people we refer to as the bourgeoisie. Equally without doubt, they are ‘’desirous of redressing social grievances’’, in this case the widespread rape of underage girls. The reason for their concern? ‘’In order to secure the continued existence of bourgeois society’’, according to the Communist Manifesto.

Those under age girls, now adults, have been robbed of their childhood innocence, and are now being denied justice. It is to the credit of Rupert Murdoch and Elon Musk, that they are attempting to secure the release of all files pertaining to the ‘’Epstein Scandal’’, including the videos which Epstein took, of his ‘’clients’’ raping those girls. Those videos reveal the identify of those pedophiles, those who are multi billionaires.

The precise motives for the concern of Musk and Murdoch, towards those unfortunate girls, are of secondary importance. The main thing is that they are demanding justice for those girls, and for that reason, we can support them, on this one particular issue.

Those women deserve justice! Nothing can change the fact that they have been terribly abused! Yet if Trump has his way, they will also be denied justice! All in the interests of protecting the multi billionaires who abused them!

Yet what is the role of Communists? According to the Communist Manifesto:

‘’The Communists, therefore, are on the one hand, practically, the most advanced and resolute section of the working- class parties of every country, that section which pushes forward all others; on the other hand, theoretically, they have over the great mass of the proletariat the advantage of clearly understanding the line of march, the conditions, and the ultimate general results of the proletarian movement.

‘’The immediate aim of the Communists is the same as that of all the other proletarian parties: formation of the proletariat into a class, overthrow of the bourgeois supremacy, conquest of political power by the proletariat.’’

This is to say that our goal, that of securing justice for those unfortunate women, must be seen as part of our broader aim, that of raising the level of awareness of the working class, the proletariat.

We are Communists, Scientific Socialists, not utopian socialists, those who strive only for paltry reforms. As Marx and Engels further make clear, in the Communist Manifesto:

‘’The theoretical conclusions of the Communists are in no way based on ideas or principles that have been invented, or discovered, by this or that would-be universal reformer.’’

This is to stress the fact that Communism, Scientific Socialism, is based on the ‘’theoretical conclusions’’ of Karl Marx, the first true Scientific Socialist.

Allow me to further stress the fact that the ruling class of bourgeoisie, is now squabbling among themselves. The Communist Manifesto also has a few words to say about this:

‘’Finally, in times when the class struggle nears the decisive hour, the process of dissolution going on within the ruling class, in fact within the whole range of old society, assumes such a violent, glaring character, that a small section of the ruling class cuts itself adrift, and joins the revolutionary class, the class that holds the future in its hands. Just as, therefore, at an earlier period, a section of the nobility went over to the bourgeoisie, so now a portion of the bourgeoisie goes over to the proletariat, and in particular, a portion of the bourgeois ideologists, who have raised themselves to the level of comprehending theoretically the historical movement as a whole.’’.

May I suggest that this squabbling, among the bourgeoisie, is an indication that the ‘’class struggle is nearing the decisive hour’’. Now is the time for a ‘’small section of the ruling class to cut itself adrift’’, and ‘’join the revolutionary class’’, the proletariat, the ‘’class that holds the future in its hands’’. Of course, I am here referring to the ‘’bourgeois ideologists’’, those who have ‘’raised themselves to the level of comprehending theoretically the historical movement as a whole’’.

This should not be terribly difficult, as all such ideologists have been exposed to the distortion of the revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin, in University. Now it is simply a matter of examining those theories with an open mind.

As I have mentioned in numerous previous articles, such people have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. The bourgeoisie is determined to abolish the democratic republic, set up the rule of an Oligarchy, and to wipe out the middle class.

Under Scientific Socialism, the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, your training and skills will be in demand. Your past service, to the bourgeoisie, will not be held against you. You will be paid most handsomely. Choose wisely.

Elon Musk and the Epstein Files

July 10, 2025 Gerald Mcisaac

Elon Musk recently announced that his newly created America Party, will make the ‘’exposure of the Epstein files’’, a ‘’top priority’’. That is precisely what countless working people want to hear! This calls for a little explanation.

Jeffrey Epstein was an American ‘’financier’’, a capitalist, a billionaire, a highly successful ‘’investment banker’’. He ‘’rubbed shoulders’’ with some of the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world. These included Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.

He was also a convicted sex offender. For many years, it is alleged that he ran a very profitable, child sex trafficking ring. It is further alleged that he, with the assistance of Ghislaine Maxwell, was responsible for the rape of numerous under age girls, possibly as many as nine hundred, some as young as twelve years of age!

Bear in mind that underage girls, by law, cannot give consent, so that any sexual acts, with such girls, constitutes an act of rape.

In 2019, the state of New York charged Epstein with ‘’sex trafficking’’. In an attempt to avoid federal charges, Epstein pleaded guilty to less serious charges, and was sentenced to 13 months in prison. Despite this, while in prison, the federal government charged him with ‘’sex trafficking dozens of underage girls’’. Epstein was looking at spending the rest of his life in prison.

Then in August of 2019, Epstein was found dead in his cell. His cause of death was officially ruled a suicide.

On a related matter, in 2020, New York federal prosecutors charged Ghislaine Maxwell with ‘’sex crimes’’, saying that she helped recruit the underage girls, whom Epstein abused, sometimes participating in the abuse herself. She was convicted of multiple charges, including ‘’sex trafficking, conspiracy and transportation of a minor for illegal sexual activity’’. She is currently serving a twenty year prison sentence.

This is significant, because she ‘’knows where all the bodies are buried’’, to phrase it in popular terms. In other words, she knows the names of all the ‘’clients’’, the ‘’customers’’, commonly referred to as the ‘’Johns’’, all of whom are child molesters, technically referred to as ‘’pedophiles’’. Some of these lowlifes are among the richest, most powerful men, in the country.

Not that she is at all anxious to share that information! On the contrary, she is hoarding it! Such information is as valuable as gold! If someone really wants those names- perhaps Elon Musk?- then first, open that cell door, and grease her palm! Then watch how fast she ‘’sings like a little canary’’!

Now to return to the death of Jeffrey Epstein.

Immediately after Epstein was found dead, countless people questioned the official version of events, that of ‘’death by suicide’’. They point out that there were numerous extremely wealthy, and equally powerful men, who had a keen interest in shutting him up, permanently. After all, as all professional thieves are well aware, ‘’dead men tell no tales’’.

It does not help that certain details ‘’do not add up’’, to state it in popular terms. Such as the fact that the cellmate of Epstein was moved the day before he died. The fact that the video cameras did not cover the hallway, which included the door to his cell. As well, the location of the two guards who were supposed to be watching him, has never been explained.

The autopsy report was also ‘’less that conclusive’’, in that it was determined that the broken bones in his neck could have been caused by either hanging or strangulation. For that reason, a finding of ‘’inconclusive’’ was warranted, which calls for a more thorough investigation.

Instead, the investigators concluded, ‘’death by suicide’’, which makes absolutely no sense.

That is not the only thing, which makes no sense. Epstein documented the rape of countless underage girls. In fact, he frequently video taped them! His ‘’clients’’, or ‘’Johns’’, rich and powerful pedophiles, were filmed raping those girls!

Yet professional investigators, highly trained members of the FBI and the DOJ, among the finest in the country, are at a loss to identify even one of those pedophiles!

The common people, members of the public, American citizens, are outraged. Those girls, now adults, are being denied the justice they deserve! All because the men who assaulted them, are supremely rich! Multi billionaires!

It is to the credit of Elon Musk, that he is ‘’tapping into’’ this wide spread ‘’discontent’’, as the mainstream press so delicately phrases it. In fact, on behalf of his America Party, he has thoughtfully posted an ‘’Epstein Pedophile Arrest Counter’’, on his web site. This is to keep track of the number of pedophiles, clients of Epstein, who are currently being charged, as a result of the ‘’Epstein investigation’’. That counter is currently set to zero!

This is his way of mocking the lack of prosecutions, in the Epstein case. It is both effective and entertaining. Education through entertainment! Way to go, Elon Musk!

In another post, Musk stated:

‘’Time to drop the really big bomb.

‘’Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.

‘’Have a nice day, DJT’’.

Then in a separate post:

‘’How can people be expected to have faith in Trump if he won’t release the Epstein files?’’

An excellent question!

It is significant that, by July 9, 2025, this post had 32.6 million views! But only because Elon Musk got right to the heart of the matter!

On the subject of the ‘’Epstein files’’, a DOJ memo ‘’clarifies’’ the matter. It states that Epstein had no ‘’blackmail list’’. It goes on to say that, ‘’No further charges will be filed in the Epstein case’’.

To even suggest that Epstein had no ‘’blackmail client list’’, is ridiculous! He was well aware that if caught, he was facing life in prison! He was equally well aware that his rich and powerful clients could keep him out of prison! It was simply a matter of providing them with the proper ‘’motivation’’. A video of them raping an underage girl was just such a motivation! This is commonly referred to as ‘’blackmail’’.

So it is reasonable to assume that those same ‘’rich and powerful’’ people, did not wait for Epstein to carry through on his threats. They acted first, ‘’nipping the problem in the bud’’. They hired someone to kill Epstein.

This murder was immediately followed by a thorough ‘’cover up’’. The professional investigators were first told that the death of Epstein was a suicide, and then told to investigate, and come to the proper conclusion. So the officers went through the usual motions, and promptly lied through their teeth!

Now if they could only get their lies straight!

A fine example of this is the United States Attorney General, Pam Bondi. In an interview with Fox News, she stated that the ‘’client list of Jeffrey Epstein’’ was, ‘’Sitting on my desk, to be reviewed’’.

More recently, she stated that the client list of Jeffrey Epstein ‘’Does not exist’’! Such nonsense!

In all fairness, there can be no doubt that there are a few Americans who believe the official line, of the Trump administration, that the ‘’client list of Jeffrey Epstein’’, does not exist. Equally without doubt, few of those citizens are over the age of twelve! Everyone else is well aware that Trump and his minions are a pack of liars!

It is also a fact, that Elon Musk is doing a fine job of exposing the lies and hypocrisy, of those same people! For his own reasons, mind you! Political power! We can learn from Elon Musk!

Even though that previous statement may come as a great shock to many, I maintain that it is true. I believe in giving credit where credit is due.

Both Elon Musk and Donald Trump are multi billionaires, members of the same class of people, technically referred to as the bourgeoisie. As such, both are also completely reactionary. The only difference, is that Musk is far more intelligent.

The current ‘’bone of contention’’, between those two, is political power. Trump is the President, and is using that power in ways of which Musk disapproves. For that reason, Musk has started ‘’his own’’ political party, the ‘’America Party’’.

This is to say that the ruling class of monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, those who comprise the class of people known as the bourgeoisie, are deeply divided! They are squabbling over the precise method of rule.

Marx and Engels went into this in their landmark work, the Communist Manifesto. As they stated:

The conflict, between Trump and Musk, can be considered to be part of the ‘’process of dissolution going on within the ruling class’’. For that reason, we can expect a ‘’small section of the ruling class’’, to ‘’cut itself adrift’’, and ‘’join the revolutionary class’’, which is the working class, the proletariat, the ‘’class that holds the future in its hands’’.

This is my less than subtle way, of suggesting that all of those who consider themselves to be socialists, of one persuasion or another, become active. After all, it is clear that the ‘’class struggle’’ is ‘’near the decisive hour’’. In other words, the revolution is very close!

Many of those self proclaimed socialists, but by no means all, have attended Universities. In particular, almost all members of the Democratic Socialists of America, DSA, are University graduates. As such, they have been exposed to the bourgeois distortion of the revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin. Now is the time to once again, read the Essential Works of Marx and Lenin. This time with an open mind.

As for those who have never been to University, and most working class people have never had the opportunity, may I suggest starting with State and Revolution, by Lenin. It is readily available, on the internet. It was written in preparation for the Great Russian Proletarian October Soviet Socialist Revolution. Our next American Revolution, will closely resemble that Russian Revolution.

As well, other works include the Communist Manifesto, as well as Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, What Is To Be Done?, and Left Wing Communism, An Infantile Disorder, all by Lenin.

A careful reading of those key works, should give all revolutionaries a basic grasp of the principles of Scientific Socialism.

The problem is that the working class, the proletariat, is not aware of itself, as a class, with its own class interests. It is certainly not aware that it is destined to overthrow the completely reactionary class of monopoly capitalists, the bourgeoisie, and crush them, under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat! This awareness can come only from an outside source. What better outside source than Marx and Lenin?

The Essential Works of Marx and Lenin can provide that awareness. In this way, the most advanced workers can be raised to the level of true Communists, those who advocate for the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. They, in turn, can bring this awareness to the less advanced.

This stands in stark contrast to the utopian socialists, many of whom are of the opinion that socialism is a fine idea, but ‘’simply not practical’’. It is utopian socialism that is not practical!

There are others, self proclaimed Marxists, who are convinced that the revolution is bound to take place, and are determined to take over the existing state apparatus, at the time of the revolution, and set themselves up, as the new rulers. These people we refer to as ‘’revisionists’’.

It may help to think of the approaching American Revolution, as an ‘’Act of God’’, or a ‘’Higher Power’’, if you prefer, because that is precisely the case. Previous revolutionary experience has shown that, on occasion, countless people get into motion, and make history!

As for those who dispute that statement, may I refer you to the experience of the French Revolution. It was a completely spontaneous uprising! There were no leaders, although leaders did emerge.

The last thing we need, is another such uprising! We need an uprising of class conscious workers! Workers who are aware of themselves, as a class, with their own class interests! That includes the necessity of overthrowing the ruling class of bourgeoisie, of smashing the existing state apparatus, and replacing it with a new state apparatus, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat! Scientific Socialism!

With that in mind, our goal is to raise the level of awareness of the working class, the proletariat. We can do that by focusing on that which is of concern to the vast majority of working people. In this, as previously stated, we can learn from Elon Musk!

Bear in mind that countless working people are paying strict attention to Elon Musk! If only because he is focusing on that which concerns them. Further, he is doing this in an entertaining manner, without resorting to vulgarity! The same cannot be said of all too many Leftist people.

Our duty is to also focus on that which concerns working people, and use this to raise their level of awareness, preferably in an entertaining manner. Also without the use of vulgarity!

We can only hope that celebrities, especially ‘’Hollywood Movie Stars’’, will ‘’jump on the bandwagon’’, and join the revolutionary movement, for Scientific Socialism.

The reason I say this, is because common people, by whom I mean workers and family farmers, pay strict attention to that which celebrities say. Strange but true.

This places an unfair burden on those people, which is unfortunate. Not that life is fair, so that is not too surprising. It is what it is.

If it is any consolation, bear in mind that the one and only alternative to monopoly capitalism, is Scientific Socialism! Further, the monopoly capitalists are determined to wipe out the middle class, and establish the rule of an Oligarchy. This could even result in a state of fascism.

By contrast, under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, to be established after the revolution, there will be a great demand for highly skilled individuals. These include scientists, engineers and business administrators. They will be paid accordingly.

Middle class professionals have everything to gain, and nothing to lose, by embracing the revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin. Feel free to get on board, and spread the message! We will know that we are getting our message across, when the following slogans become houses hold expressions:

Workers of the World, Unite!

Scientific Socialism!

Dictatorship of the Proletariat!

Peace! Democracy! Socialism!

Bombard the Bourgeois Headquarters!

Concerning Petition To Deport Melania Trump

July 9, 2025 Gerald Mcisaac

It has recently come to my attention that a Petition has been posted, on the internet, calling for the deportation of Melania Trump, her son Barron, and her parents.

Although this Petition may have been posted as ‘’something of a joke’’, a great many Americans are taking this quite seriously. It has since reportedly ‘’gone viral’’, garnering 7,000 signatures. For that reason, it deserves our attention. The following is the Petition:

‘’Since Trump wants to deport naturalized citizens, I believe it is only fair that Melania and her parents are on the first boat out. In addition, Melania’s anchor baby, Barron, should be forced to leave as well, because we know that his mother’s mother was born in a different country. This is part of the criteria that Trump is putting into place. Your mother’s mother has to have been born in the United States, and we know Melania’s mother was born elsewhere. If it’s good for one, it’s good for all! There should be no exceptions! On the first boat or flight out!’’

No doubt, this Petition was posted in response to the widespread opposition, to the policy of the Trump administration, of arresting and deporting countless people whom it considers to be ‘’illegal immigrants’’. This includes those who were born within the United States, to parents who are in the country illegally. Such individuals are American citizens, by birth! As per the Constitution!

Not that such little details concern Donald Trump! He is of the opinion that, if the mother was in the country illegally, or even on a temporary Visa, then the birthright citizenship is invalid. For that reason, both mother and child are to be deported!

Of course, this policy does not apply to his immediate family! His wife Melania, the First Lady of the United States, FLOTUS, is an immigrant! She was born in Slovenia in 1970, and then moved to New York in 1996, to pursue a modelling career. She then received a ‘’Green Card’’ in 2001, based upon an EB1 application. In 2006, one year after marrying Donald Trump, she became an American citizen. After that, she sponsored her parents for a Green Card, followed by their citizenship in 2018.

The manner in which Melania procured a Green Card, has provided the enemies of Trump, with a certain amount of ammunition. They have wasted no time in attacking her.

In particular, the EB1 Visa, otherwise known as the ‘’Einstein Visa’’, is ‘’typically reserved for individuals with extraordinary ability’’, especially in the ‘’fields of education, business, athletics, science, art, math or physics’’. Critics have pointed out that ‘’nude modelling’’ is not listed as one of those ‘’extraordinary abilities’’!

During a rather heated meeting, in the House of Representatives, Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett had a few harsh words for Melania. As she phrased it, rather crudely, in reference to the manner in which Melania procured her EB1 Visa, ‘’The math ain’t mathing here’’.

May I suggest that falsifying an application for an EB1 Visa may be naughty, but that does not make it a matter of a Congressional investigation. There are countless other ways to document the hypocrisy of the Republicans.

As well, the fact is that after Melania became an American citizen, she earned the legal right to sponsor her parents. Now Trump is referring to this as ‘’chain migration’’, and he is determined to ‘’put a stop to this’’.

Those who posted this Petition, may have done so with the best of intentions. That in no way changes the fact that it is serving as a diversion, a distraction, of the revolutionary movement, of the working class. The proletariat must become focused, on their class enemies, the monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie. That includes Donald Trump and the other members of that class. As well, it may include certain members of his immediate family. It does not include Melania and her son, and certainly not her parents.

For that reason, it is our duty to protect Melania, and her immediate family. It is a matter of principle. All calls for those people to be deported, must be condemned.

To quote an old proverb, ‘’If you want to kill a snake, you cut off his head’’. Or as Mao stated, during the Great Chinese Proletarian Cultural Revolution, ‘’Bombard the Bourgeois Headquarters’’.

With that, I can end my article, with my usual slogans, and one more:

Workers of the World, Unite!

Prepare For Scientific Socialism!

Peace! Democracy! Socialism!

Dictatorship of the Proletariat!

Bombard the Bourgeois Headquarters!

Concerning Elon Musk and the ‘’America Party’’

The former Speaker of the House, and highly respected Member of Congress, Nancy Pelosi, recently announced that, ‘’Hell must have frozen over’’. The reason she said this, is because she has always maintained that, ‘’Hell would freeze over, before she agreed with Elon Musk’’. Yet now she agrees with Elon Musk!

In fact, Elon Musk has now publicly opposed the ‘’Big Beautiful Bill’’, as Donald Trump refers to it, which he has recently signed into law. By taking such a stand, he has joined the ranks of all Members of the Democratic Party, within the Senate and the House of Representatives, in the capital of Washington, DC.

In fact, this was not nearly as unexpected as it first appeared. The American ruling class, the multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie, are deeply divided. They are certainly determined to maintain their rule, but disagree on the precise method to be used. Trump has decided to cut taxes on the members of his class of multi billionaires, while at the same time, cutting social programs, including medical and food assistance, for those who need it most, the members of the working class, the proletariat.

By contrast, Elon Musk is opposed to this bill, not because it would serve to further impoverish the working class, but because it would dramatically increase the national debt, to the point that it could not be sustained! The cuts to the social programs do not go far enough!

This in no way changes the fact that his opposition to this bill, places him in agreement, or ‘’alliance’’, with the members of the Democratic Party. Temporarily, of course, and strictly on this one particular issue.

Remarkably enough, this strange alliance is not as unusual as it first appears. In fact, it came about as a natural result of that which was predicted by Marx and Engels, in the Communist Manifesto. As they stated, this comes about when the ‘’class struggle nears the decisive hour’’, as a result of the ‘’process of dissolution going on within the ruling class, in fact within the whole range of old society, assumes such a violent, glaring character…’’.

It is clear that the American ruling class is currently going through a ‘’process of dissolution’’, so that the class struggle is ‘’nearing the decisive hour’’.

That same Manifesto tells us what to expect: ‘’A small section of the ruling class cuts itself adrift, and joins the revolutionary class, the class that holds the future in its hands….a portion of the bourgeoisie goes over to the proletariat, and in particular, a portion of the bourgeois ideologists, who have raised themselves to the level of comprehending theoretically, the historical movement as a whole’’.

This is not to suggest that Elon Musk is about to ‘’raise himself’’, to the level of ‘’comprehending theoretically’’, the ‘’historical movement as a whole’’. That would result in Musk becoming a true Marxist! A Communist! Not about to happen!

Yet Elon Musk is not entirely stupid! In fact, we can learn from Musk! He noticed that the bill passed both Houses of Congress by the narrowest of margins. He is determined to abolish the Two Party System, which he refers to as the ‘’One Party System’’, by starting a third party, an ‘’America Party’’.

Musk claims that we live under a ‘’one party system’’, ‘’not a democracy’’, and that the two parties, Democratic and Republican, are ‘’two sides of the same coin’’. In this, he is absolutely correct!

The political platform, or ‘’agenda’’ of this new America Party, includes promises of ‘’Freedom, fiscal discipline, tech friendly immigration, government efficiency, free speech protection online, and military modernization’’.

Such an agenda is supremely vague! Deliberately so! No one knows precisely what that means!

The only definite detail, is the fact that Musk plans to support numerous candidates, for the offices of the House of Representatives, as well as the Senate, in the forthcoming midterm elections, in 2026. All such candidates will run on behalf of the America Party. He is convinced that, even if as few as ‘’eight or ten’’ candidates are able to win election to the House, as well as ‘’two or three Senate seats’’, then that will give the America Party the ‘’balance of power’’. Once again, he is absolutely correct!

It is entirely possible that Musk has learned something from the Marxists! Not that he is about to admit this, but we cannot entirely dismiss the possibility.

Yet as Musk mentioned his intention, of having members of his America Party, run for political offices in Washington, that is most important, and calls for a little explanation.

It was Lenin who stressed the importance of taking part in ‘’bourgeois democratic parliaments’’, otherwise known as Congresses. As he stated, in Left Wing Communism, An Infantile Disorder:

‘’Participation in parliamentary elections and in the struggle on the parliamentary rostrum is obligatory on the party of the revolutionary proletariat, specifically for the purpose of educating the backward strata of its own class, and for the purpose of awakening and enlightening the undeveloped, downtrodden and ignorant rural masses. While you lack the strength to do away with bourgeois parliaments and every other type of reactionary institution, you must work within them because it is there that you will still find workers who are duped by the priests and stultified by the conditions of rural life; otherwise you risk turning into nothing but a windbag….The conclusion which follows from this is absolutely incontrovertible: It has been proven that, far from causing harm to the revolutionary proletariat, participation in a bourgeois- democratic parliament, even a few weeks before the victory of a Soviet republic, and even after such a victory, actually helps that proletariat to prove to the backward masses why such parliaments deserve to be done away with; it facilitates their successful dissolution and helps to make bourgeois parliamentarianism ‘politically obsolete’’’. (italics by Lenin)

It is entirely possible, even likely, that a considerable number of working people will be attracted to this proposed America Party. The reason I say this, is because of their deep discontent, towards the two mainstream political parties. Most of the working people who are anticipated to join, or at least to vote, for the America Party, will do so out of a sense of frustration, of voting against the other two parties, rather than of approval of the political program of the American Party. After all, no one can really make any sense of that program!

As well, there is no true Communist Party, one which calls for the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, the one and only alternative to the bourgeois parties. As no alternative is being offered, we can expect countless workers to go with something that is at least different.

Yet it is the democratic right of all Americans, to create a separate political party. For that reason, it is up to us to support Elon Musk, in his attempts to create the America Party. The working people who join that Party will soon realize that all mainstream parties serve the same class, the multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie. This will serve to raise their level of awareness.

At the same time, it is very likely that Elon Musk is under estimating the potential of such an America Party. Countless registered voters, of both mainstream political parties, will likely vote for the America Party, not because they agree with their policies, but more as a form of protest against the other two parties. Rather than win a handful of seats, within the House and Senate, they could potentially win a great deal. Possibly a majority!

Further, a candidate of the America Party could conceivably become President! And soon! There is no need to wait for the 2028 presidential election! This could happen almost immediately!

This is not meant as a joke. There is a very real possibility that Elon Musk could soon replace Donald Trump as President! As he is a bright fellow, he may decide to hire a team of attorneys, experts in Constitutional law, and order them to challenge the 2024 presidential election, in a court of law, on the grounds that it violated the Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution.

That Amendment lays out the procedure to be followed in all federal elections. It is up to the Electors, and only the Electors, who are appointed by the states, and only by the states, to vote for the individuals of their choice, for the offices of President and Vice President.

This fact is well known to all experts on Constitutional law. As this procedure was not followed, in the 2024 federal election, it follows that Trump is a fraudulent President, and Pence is a fraudulent Vice President! A challenge, to that federal election, could result in a decision, by the Supreme Court, to that effect! This could result in the removal from office, of both Trump and Pence!

This would have the effect of clearing the way for the office of President, for a candidate of the America Party! What better candidate than Elon Musk?

No doubt, most scholars disagree. They would argue that Elon Musk was not born in America, so that, by Constitutional law, he is not qualified to become president. True! That is a fact. Yet it is also a fact that there are legal experts who can be counted upon to find a legal loophole! Especially if a little ‘’palm greasing’’ is involved! All it takes is money!

For those who are not aware, I should point out that Elon Musk has no shortage of money. Money may not ‘’buy happiness’’, but it certainly buys everything else. That includes the presidency. Bear in mind that the votes of a mere 270 Electors, are required to become President. That is well within the ‘’financial means’’, of a man of his great wealth!

As for those who object that it cannot possibly be that simple and easy, to remove both Trump and Pence from office, may I respond that perhaps such souls have not read the Twelfth Amendment.

Further objections may be made, that the current ‘’Two Party System’’ has been in place, since the days of the Civil War. This also is true. Which is not to say that it is legal! As countless middle class intellectuals are well aware!

Those same middle class intellectuals are equally well aware, that a Supreme Court decision, to the effect that the 2024 federal election was fraudulent, could result in all federal elections, since the days of the Civil War, being declared fraudulent! For that reason, they remain silent, out of a sense of patriotism.

By contrast, Elon Musk has every reason to be vocal, and no reason to feel patriotic. After all, Donald Trump is threatening to deport him! One good turn deserves another! Better to ‘’get even’’, than to ‘’get mad’’! What better way to ‘’get even’’ than by removing Trump from office, and taking over that same office? Once installed in office, as President, he in turn, could threaten to deport the wife of Trump!

Now to return to the statement of Nancy Pelosi, in which she agrees with Elon Musk, in his opposition to the budget bill of Trump. She should also agree that he has the right to form a new political party, as it is his democratic right. All Leftist people should support Elon Musk, on this one issue, as we fight for democracy as well as socialism.

This creation, of the America Party, is bound to attract the attention, of almost all members of the working class. Many of those workers will also join, or at least vote, for candidates of that new party. In the process, they will learn, from their own experience, that this new party is no different from the other two mainstream political parties. All of those political parties serve the same ruling class of multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie. Those monopoly capitalists are in charge, and fully intend to remain in charge.

In this way, they will come to realize that the Scientific Socialists are correct. The one and only alternative to capitalism, is in fact, Scientific Socialism, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

At the same time, for our part, we can do our best to support Senator Sanders, as well as the ‘’Members of the Squad’’, in the House of Representatives. They are honest people of principle, leaders of the working class, and deserve our support.

In conclusion, we can state that our goal is to raise the level of awareness of all members of the working class, the proletariat, including those who are much less advanced. This involves respecting their personal beliefs, as well as avoiding the use of such words as ‘’backward’’, as they may consider this to mean that we are calling them ‘’stupid’’.

With that in mind, may I also recommend publishing some very popular literature for such workers, complete with references to sports metaphors. At the same time, avoid the use of vulgarity, as such garbage is all too common in the revolutionary movement.

Allow me to stress the fact, that our support for Elon Musk is limited only to his attempts to defend the democratic republic. This includes his attempt to form a third party, an America Party. As well, it could include any attempt to force a ruling, by the Supreme Court, concerning the Twelfth Amendment. This we can only welcome!

At the same time, we must redouble our efforts to expose the completely reactionary nature of the ruling class of monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie.

The level of awareness of the proletariat must be raised. The most advanced workers must be raised to the level of ‘’conscious people’’, true Communists, those who call for the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. That is the duty of middle class intellectuals, those who are aware of the revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin.

As I have gone into this, in considerable detail, in previous articles, there is no need to repeat it here.

Bear in mind that the bourgeoisie have decided to wipe out the middle class. All businesses but five are ‘’Too Small To Succeed’’! Middle class intellectuals have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. After the revolution, after we establish a state of Scientific Socialism, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, then the services of those people will be in demand. And rest assured, they will be paid accordingly.

We will know that we are getting our message across, that the level of awareness of the proletariat is rising, when the posters and signs contain such slogans as:

Workers of the World, Unite!

Dictatorship of the Proletariat!

Peace! Democracy! Socialism!

Scientific Socialism!

America At War With Iran

June 23, 2025 Gerald Mcisaac

On June 22, 2025, President Trump ordered the military to attack the sovereign country of Iran. In particular, three nuclear sites were attacked, those of Fordow, Natanz and Estefan.

The ‘’key’’ site of Fordow, which is deep underground, was hit with ‘’bunker busting bombs’’, which is to say bombs which weigh fifteen tons, and are capable of striking deep below the ground. For that reason, American B2 Stealth bombers were used, as each can carry two such bombs. The Israeli military has no bomber capable of carrying such a payload.

As well, the two other nuclear sites, that of Natanz and Isfahan, were reportedly hit with thirty tomahawk cruise missiles, fired from an American submarine.

Trump is now gloating, that the nuclear ability of Iran has been ‘’completely and totally obliterated’’. He even issued a statement to that effect, which included the words, in capital letters, ‘’NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE’’.

Either Trump has completely lost touch with reality, or he is on drugs! To even suggest that peace can be secured, by going to war with another country, makes absolutely no sense! And rest assured, dropping bombs and firing missiles on a country, is an act of war! It is not, as the mainstream press is reporting, a mere ‘’conflict’’.

It is also a fact, that the Iranian government officials are saying something far different. They are reporting that, in the case of the Fordow nuclear site, those massive ‘’bunker busting bombs’’ inflicted only minor damage, in that the entrance and exit tunnels were damaged.

This is not at all surprising. It is common practice, for the spokespeople of two countries which are at war, to give conflicting versions, of the same event. In popular terms, we say that there are ‘’two sides to every story’’.

In this particular case, that of the war against Iran, involving Israel and America, it is safe to say that the spokespeople for all sides, will ‘’slant the story’’, in favour of their country, to put it politely. More accurately, they will not hesitate to ‘’lie through their teeth’’, if they consider that to be in the best interests of their country.

Yet, it is very likely that the Iranian spokesperson was indeed telling the truth. The reason I say this, is because of a remarkably candid statement, issued by an Iranian official, immediately before the bombing, of those nuclear facilities.

On June 20, two days before the attack, he stated that, ‘’We have already relocated all materials before hand. We have no materials there. All the materials are still in our hands. Secondly, the scientists are still in our hands. Years of experience in those factories where we produced nuclear materials. We still have those factories.’’

All too often, countries which are at war, consider their enemies to be supremely stupid. Wishful thinking! The Iranians are anything but stupid! They clearly anticipated the bombing of their nuclear facilities, and ‘’relocated’’ the important materials. Along with the scientists and factories! Very likely, in preparation for creating a nuclear bomb!

Years ago, Iran signed the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty, the NPT. As best can be gathered, they have since honoured the terms of that Treaty. But now that the Americans have attacked, they will likely ‘’exit’’ the NPT, as Article 10 of that Treaty, allows exit if ‘’supreme national interests are jeopardized’’.

The American attack, on their nuclear facilities, qualifies as placing their ‘’supreme national interests’’ in ‘’jeopardy’’.

Even more disturbing, is the opinion of scientific experts, that Iran is a mere fifteen days away from producing a nuclear bomb!

It is to the credit of the Iranians, that they hold Trump, and Trump alone, responsible for provoking this war. They clearly have no quarrel with the American people. That being said, now that the two countries are at war, they are fully prepared to hit all American bases in the Middle East. There are possibly a total of fifty thousand American troops stationed in the area. Well within the range of Iranian missiles!

There can be no doubt that Trump and his administration, are grossly under estimating the Iranians. In fact, there is a ‘’method to their madness’’.

At the start of the war with Israel, a mere few days ago, the Iranians faced the fact that Israel possessed one of the finest air defence systems in the world. It is referred to as the ‘’Iron Dome’’, and includes a series of computer controlled, missile defence systems. The trajectory of the incoming missiles, detected on radar, are determined by the computer, which then fires off a missile, to intercept and destroy it. Extremely high tech, and equally expensive!

For that reason, if no other, it is simply not possible for the Israelis to have a huge stockpile of missiles on hand. They simply cost too much.

On the other hand, drones are ‘’dirt cheap’’, at least by comparison. As well, missiles which are not computer controlled, are also reasonably inexpensive. And rest assured, Iran has a great abundance of both!

For the first few days of the war, Iran bombarded Israel with swarms of drones and missiles. This forced Israel, in turn, to fire off countless high priced missiles. Most of the ‘’incoming projectiles’’ were shot down, but a few managed to get through. As a result, various military targets, within Israel, were destroyed. This includes radar and missile launching sites. Their air defence system is now somewhat compromised.

As a result, military experts are convinced that the Israelis will run out of missiles, within perhaps ten days, possibly sooner.

Now that the Israeli missile defence system has been damaged, the Iranians have ‘’followed up’’ with new, faster, more powerful, truly accurate missiles. Some of these missiles can even maneuver, or ‘’dance in the sky’’, so that it is impossible for the computers to track their trajectory. These missiles are almost impossible to shoot down.

As can be well imagined, many of these missiles are penetrating the Iron Dome, or the ‘’Iron Sieve’’, as the wits phrase it. This has resulted in some serious damage, especially to the industrial centre of Tel Aviv, and the port city of Haifa. Yet the Iranians have plans for much worse.

As they stated, before the American bombing:

‘’First, we have used less than 30% of our operational capacity, and under 5% of our latent potential. We have new missile capabilities that will be employed in the coming days. Secondly, we have not used our ground or naval capabilities at all. We have kept hold of the ‘’oil card’’, and the ‘’Strait of Hormuz card’’.

This is their way of saying that they have a great many drones and missiles, in reserve. As well, some of those ‘’new’’ missiles have just been unleashed. They are most impressive. Powerful, accurate, fast, maneuverable and supremely effective.

The Iranians have yet to deploy their army or navy, or to close the Strait of Hormuz. This can be accomplished, quite simply, by mining that narrow strip of water. As a high percentage of the worlds supply of oil passes through that Strait, to close it would be a serious economic matter. Among other things, the price of oil would rise, quite dramatically.

The Iranian narrator went on to say:

‘’Our friends in many countries surrounding the occupied territories have announced their readiness to act. We asked our friends not to act. We said, for now, we will act ourselves. We controlled our friends, because we are managing the situation.’’

That is the reason other enemies of Israel, including the Houthis and Hezbollah, have not joined in the attack on Israel. Or at least, not yet! This was requested by the Iranians.

The narrator then went on to refer to the Americans:

‘’The US cannot interfere meaningfully, Their only discussion is that to destroy our Ferdow nuclear facilities, they need specific bombs. Even if the Americans wanted to intervene, they can only do some of this, but they cannot get Israel out of this corner. No way. Because they have already given Israel every opportunity they had. They have already provided Israel with everything, THAAD missile defences, reconnaissance aircraft, and even F35’s. The US cannot help Netanyahu and the Israeli army any further, it is now in a corner. They have already given them everything they have.’’

It is clear that the Iranians have a rather low opinion of American intervention, in the war with Israel. The bombing of the Ferdow nuclear facilities has just taken place, as the Iranians anticipated, and now it remains to be seen if the Americans can get Israel ‘’out of a corner’’.

The narrator then turned his attention to Israel:

‘’Israel has only three options. First, via a ceasefire and dictated peace. Second, drag America into the war. Third, capitulate and confess its wrongdoing, promising not to repeat the insecurity in Iran.’’

Clearly, Israel has chosen option two, that of ‘’dragging America into the war’’. We will see if that saves them.

He then went on to express his concern for civilian casualties:

‘’We have repeatedly announced that civilians should evacuate the areas surrounding military sites, intelligence facilities, and command centres of the Israeli army and government. Their people need to run. We truly do not want any civilians to be killed. The gradual escalation, the slow rising of the missile wave, is partly to allow Israeli civilians to flee, to evacuate. So leave now, flee.’’

That helps to explain the ‘’gradual escalation’’, as opposed to lightning warfare. Thoughtful of them. He then proceeded to summarize:

‘’Dozens of our missiles have managed to penetrate all the layers of their defence systems and inflict damage on the enemy. The enemy’s first day shock only ignited a storm ten times stronger than Al Aqsa flood. Israel is currently in a major crisis. The nations of West Asia, including Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, and others, totalling 25 countries with Pakistan among them, can establish a grand coalition to assume responsibility for peace and security in our region. If Iran is victorious, this union will be formed, and we will play an important role in it. All other countries will consider the creation of this alliance and the expulsion of Israel and the US as a triumph for the Iranian people.’’

The plan, of the Iranians, is to conquer Israel and then ‘’establish a grand coalition’’, a union of twenty five countries, responsible for ‘’peace and security’’, in the region. The country of Israel is to cease to exist, and American interference is also to disappear.

By contrast, Trump plans to secure peace by going to war with Iran. As that may involve also going to war with twenty five other countries, this is what we refer to as a ‘’tall order’’. More accurately, it is pure madness, complete insanity, or perhaps simple stupidity. Not about to happen!

Now to return to the response of Iran, immediately after the attack by the Americans.

On June 21, within hours of the bombing of their nuclear facilities, Iran responded with a massive missile barrage.

Quite reasonably, they focused on Tel Aviv, the industrial centre of the country, as well as Haifa, the primary port city. It is a naval base, as well as a centre of trade and logistics. It is also crucial for energy, imports and exports. In fact, it handles the majority of food that comes into the country.

Iran took ‘’revenge’’ for the American assault, with some of their ‘’latest and greatest’’ missiles. As these have a 1500kg warhead, they did some serious damage. As the wits phrase it, Iran has turned Haifa into Gaza!

The international response, to the American bombing of Iran, should be a cause of deep concern, to the Americans. Their closest ally, the United Kingdom, UK, has just ‘’broken ranks’’. They now say that they were not involved with the bombing, of the Iranian nuclear facilities.

The Russian Foreign Minister says that we are now ‘’close to World War 3’’. As well, an aide to Putin mentioned the possibility of giving nuclear weapons to Iran.

The Iranian Foreign Minister says that this attack, by the Americans, is a ‘’breach of the United Nations Charter’’. He is appealing to the UN, to take sanctions against the United States. As the US is a permanent member of the Security Council, with veto power, that is not about to happen.

This brings us to the ‘’home front’’, so to speak.

The New York Times, one of the most highly respected, bourgeois newspapers in the country, is reporting that some of the closest allies of the US, in the Middle East, are now supporting Iran. These include such countries as Iraq, Egypt and Jordan. It is anticipated that military bases in the region are to be attacked, perhaps by militia, armed with weapons from Iran.

Incidentally, the militia is defined as ‘’a military force that is raised from the civil population to supplement the regular army’’. In this way, the government of the country can deny any involvement with the militia.

There are also early reports of an ‘’uproar’’ in Congress. Even certain Republican Members of Congress are concerned. One such Member, Thomas Massey, has reportedly said that this attack on Iran, is ‘’not Constitutional’’. The president has no right to go to war, without the approval of Congress! Further, Article 2 of the Constitution allows the president to take military action, but ‘’only against an imminent threat’’, which Iran was not! Iran has no nuclear bomb!

The Democratic Members of Congress most emphatically agree! They maintain that Trump is dragging America into another war, one which could ‘’last for generations’’. A war which they could not possibly win!

This is true! It is also true that their suggestion, that of impeaching Trump, would do absolutely no good! It has not worked before, it will not work again!

The astute reader may consider the current political situation, as complete and total mass confusion! Chaos! A pure muddle! And so it is. Precisely that which Marx and Engels predicted, in the Communist Manifesto.

As they stated: ‘’Finally, in times when the class struggle nears the decisive hour, the process of dissolution going on within the ruling class, in fact within the whole range of old society, assumes such a violent, glaring character, that a small section of the ruling class cuts itself adrift, and joins the revolutionary class, the class that holds the future in its hands. Just as, therefore, at an earlier period, a section of the nobility went over to the bourgeoisie, so now a portion of the bourgeoisie goes over to the proletariat, and in particular, a portion of the bourgeois ideologists, who have raised themselves to the level of comprehending theoretically the historical movement as a whole.

‘’Of all the classes that stand face to face with the bourgeoisie today, the proletariat alone is a really revolutionary class. The other classes decay and finally disappear in the face of modern industry; the proletariat is its special and essential product.’’

The current ruling class, the multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie, are deeply divided, or in the ‘’process of dissolution’’, as the Communist Manifesto describes it.

As well, the ruling classes of other countries, or the ‘’whole range of old society’’, are also deeply divided. As predicted by the Communist Manifesto!

That same Manifesto tells us what to expect. Certain of the ‘’bourgeois ideologists’’, those who are capable of honesty, are about to ‘’cut themselves adrift’’, and join the revolutionary proletariat.

All other classes are being wiped out by the bourgeoisie. The family farmers are now reduced to burning their crops, as they cannot afford to harvest those crops. Bankruptcy is ‘’right around the corner’’.

As for the middle class, all businesses but five are ‘’Too Small To Succeed’’. That class too, is ‘’going the way of the dodo bird!’’ They have every reason to join the revolutionary class of proletarians.

These class conscious intellectuals are a most welcome addition to the working class. In the process of ‘’raising themselves to the level of comprehending theoretically the historical movement as a whole’’, they cannot help but embrace the Scientific Socialist, revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin.

Now it is their duty to bring this awareness to the working class, the proletariat. After all, the working class is not aware of itself as a class, with its own class interests.

Nor is it aware of the revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin. Not too surprising, as these theories are taught only in University, and then only with a view to distorting them. Very few working class people are able to attend University.

At the same time, a clear distinction must be drawn, between the utopian socialists, and the Scientific Socialists, true Marxists, Communists. Only those who call for the Dictatorship of the Proletariat are true Communists. Lenin refers to this as the ‘’touchstone of a true Marxist’’.

As I write this, it is now June 23. It is encouraging that protests have broken out, mainly in New York City and Washington, DC, but are spreading across the country.

An indication of the heightened level of awareness, of the working class, is the fact that they are now openly accusing the mainstream press of lying, in an attempt to support Trump, in his war with Iran. They are so right!

From the signs and posters, it is clear that much of these protests are being organized by the Party For Socialism and Liberation. From their website, it is clear that they are utopian socialists, as they do not call for the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

This is merely one example of a political Party which claims to be socialist. As long as they do not claim to be Marxist, Communist, merely utopian socialist, that is not a problem. We can certainly work with them, as long as we are free to put forward our own political demands, which include overthrowing the ruling class of multi billionaires, smashing the existing state apparatus, and setting up a new state apparatus, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

On the other hand, we cannot work with those who claim to be Marxists, while denying the necessity for revolution and the subsequent Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

It is absolutely necessary to draw a clear distinction between ourselves, true Communists, and those who are revisionists, denying the necessity of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

After all, those who are just now becoming politically active, are bound to become confused. We must explain to them that there is a principle involved. The social chauvinists are merely determined to take over the existing state apparatus, at the time of the revolution, and set themselves up, as the new rulers. Completely unacceptable!

At the same time, the task of raising the level of awareness, of the working class, has never been simpler or easier. There is no longer any need for leaflets. The internet has made it possible to communicate with countless people, instantly. Bear in mind that the working class is now highly cultured. The vast majority are literate, with access to digital devices.

It helps that the essential works of Marx and Lenin are now available on the internet, and can be easily down loaded. Workers should be encouraged to read State and Revolution, by Lenin, as that is most relevant.

The opposition to the war with Iran can be expected to increase dramatically. Yet as long as the working class remains unaware of themselves, as a class, with their own class interests, it is bound to remain an anti war movement. It is necessary to raise the level of awareness of the working class, to the point that it becomes a movement for Scientific Socialism.

With that in mind, may I suggest flooding social media with calls for Scientific Socialism, for revolution, for overthrowing the class of multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie, for smashing the existing state apparatus, and replacing it with a new state apparatus, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

We will know that we are successfully raising the level of awareness of the working class, when the posters and signs call for revolution, class warfare, overthrow of the bourgeoisie, and the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. May I suggest the following slogans:

Workers of the World, Unite!

Dictatorship of the Proletariat!

Peace! Democracy! Socialism!

Scientific Socialism!
