Trump ‘’Crosses the Line’’, Accuses Democrats of Sedition

Recently, a group of six lawmakers, all members of the Democratic Party, all veterans of the military or Intelligence services, each a Member of the House of Representatives or of the Senate, came together to make a statement, in the form of a video. It is clear that this video was produced, at least in part, as a response to the military attacks, ordered by President Trump, in the Caribbean, on boats which Trump says were carrying illegal drugs, to America. As well, he has also been deploying National Guard troops to various American cities, in defiance of federal laws.

This video has created an immediate sensation. I have chosen to transcribe the pertinent parts:

‘’We want to speak directly to members of the military, and the Intelligence community, who take risks each day to keep Americans safe. We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now. Americans trust their military. But that trust is at risk. To protect and defend this Constitution, right now. The threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. YOU CAN REFUSE ILLEGAL ORDERS. YOU CAN REFUSE ILLEGAL ORDERS. YOU MUST REFUSE ILLEGAL ORDERS 

‘’No one has to carry out orders that violate the law, or our Constitution. We know this is hard’’ (repetition and capitalization as per the video)

The response of President Trump was immediate, and unequivocal. It left no room for any misunderstanding:

‘’This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOUR FROM TRAITORS. LOCK THEM UP??? President DJT. SEDITIOUS  BEHAVIOUR, punishable by DEATH! (punctuation and capitalization as per the video)

Here we have the President of the United States, the Commander In Chief of the whole American military, a man who managed to avoid the military draft of the nineteen sixties, due to alleged ‘’bone spurs’’, calling veterans, Members of Congress, traitors, guilty of sedition, and calling for them to be put to death!

Several highly respected politicians responded to this. I have chosen to give the answers of a couple of them:

California governor, Gavin Newsom: ‘’The President of the United States of America just called for the death of Democratic lawmakers. This man is sick in the head.’’

Governor Newsom was rather kind, allowing for the possibility that Trump is mentally ill. The alternative is that he is nothing other than a raging psychopath. 

Senator Chuck Shumer was more direct, pointing out the danger of the accusation:

 ‘’When Donald Trump uses the language of execution and treason, some of his supporters may very well listen. He is lighting a match, in a country soaked with political gasoline.’’

It is entirely possible that some of the most devoted followers of Trump, may take this video as an invitation to commit murder! Of democratically elected politicians! In the interests of patriotism! Of cleansing the government of those who are guilty of sedition!

There are numerous other videos, on the internet, concerning that subject. One of the finest videos, which illustrates the breadth and depth of the revolutionary motion, is titled: ‘’Lying through their teeth: Speaker Johnson, Press Secretary know better’’

I have chosen to transcribe select parts of the video, those which are relevant. 

Narrator: ‘’Those who have never served in the military, attacking men and women who have served in Iraq, who have served in Afghanistan, that have lost friends in fighting, that served this country proudly. Saying what they all know, you cannot follow illegal orders!’’

Right to the heart of the matter! Members of the military who target civilians, or abuse prisoners of war, for example, can be charged with various crimes. These can include ‘’crimes against humanity’’, or ‘’war crimes’’, among other things. Even if they were ordered to do so! ‘’Just following orders’’, is not a valid defence! Military personnel have the right, or more accurately the duty, to disobey any and all illegal orders!

The narrator than went on to explain the reason Trump has posted this garbage:

‘’Everybody is talking about Epstein, and record low poll numbers, and all he has to do is go on Truth Social, and just say kill Senators. …You cannot ignore it, …they should be hung, sedition…and boom!- you don’t hear about Epstein, affordability, can’t afford housing or health care insurance, groceries, cannot afford to live, or cars….’’

In an attempt to divert the revolutionary motion, to distract the common people, from the Epstein Scandal, of the part Trump played in the exploitation, the rape of possibly one thousand underage girls, Trump is stooping to the level of calling for the murder of Members of Congress!

The narrator then goes into the response of the supporters of Trump, and the tricks they are using:

‘’Republican critics are leaving out the word illegal… Speaker Mike Johnson said Democrats are encouraging troops to disobey orders…not true…They are literally saying just the opposite of what is true, they are lying to the American people… the White House is saying you do not have to uphold your oath …and lying about the Senators who are saying you have to uphold your oath….White House spokesman says that to defy Trump, is to betray their oath of office…Johnson accuses them of saying that it is  ‘wildly inappropriate…to encourage young troops to disobey orders…These people are lying through their teeth…this is all about what military personnel need to do to uphold their sacred oath not to commit illegal actions…’’

Although the preceding was somewhat disjointed, the point they made was valid. The Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, as well as the White House Press Secretary, are indeed ‘’lying through their teeth’’! The video, which those six politicians made, is calling for all military personnel, to ‘’uphold their sacred oath’’, that of ‘’preserve, protect and defend the Constitution’’. At no point does any American military person, take an oath of allegiance to Trump, or anyone else!

The narrator went on to give an example of a high ranking Admiral, who resigned in protest, due to the boat strikes, which resulted in the death of numerous civilians. This was followed by an interview with a highly respected, retired General: 

‘’No one in the American military swear allegiance to any individual. The oaths are not pledges of loyalty to a party, a personality or a political movement. Loyalty is pledged to the Constitution!’’ 

Well spoken! To drive home the point that the Trump administration is indeed, ‘’lying through their teeth’’, I have chosen to give the response of the White House Press Secretary:

‘’You have sitting members, of the United States Congress, who conspired together, to orchestrate a video, messaged to members of the United States military, to active duty service members, to members of the national security apparatus, encouraging them to defy the president’s lawful orders.’’

An outright lie! Precisely the opposite is true! These Members of Congress are encouraging military personnel to defy the presidents unlawful orders!

All of this may comes as a surprise to a great many people. Perhaps even more surprising, it was predicted by Marx and Engels, in the Communist Manifesto:

‘’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.’’

That which we are now experiencing, is merely an indication of the ‘’process of dissolution going on within the ruling class’’. Very soon, we can expect a ‘’small section of the ruling class’’, that of the bourgeoisie, to ‘’cut itself adrift’’, and join the ‘’revolutionary class’’, the proletariat. Further, this ‘’small section’’ will include the bourgeois ideologists, but only those who are capable of ‘’raising themselves theoretically to the level of comprehending the historical movement as a whole’’. 

Those who are not capable of ‘’raising themselves theoretically’’, will become targets of this, the Second American Revolution, and suffer a fate similar to the Tories, their counterparts of the First American Revolution. Their choice.

Concerning the minority of bourgeois ideologists, who are about to join the revolutionary proletariat, may I suggest that it is absolutely necessary to raise the level of awareness of the working class. The best way to do this is by becoming involved in that which most interests those workers. As ‘’defending the Constitution’’ is such a ‘’hot topic’’, feel free to ‘’jump on the bandwagon’’. 

The hypocrisy of all elected officials, who ‘’pay lip service’’ to defending the Constitution, can best be exposed by challenging the results of the 2024 Presidential Election, on the grounds that it was fraudulent, as it did not follow the procedure laid out in Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution.  

 As that Amendment is so important, I have reproduced it here, in its entirety:

‘’The Electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice- President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as as Vice- President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as Vice- President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate; the President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted; the person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such a number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such a majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice -President shall act as President, as in case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President. The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice- President, shall be the Vice -President, if such a number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vive -President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be elegable to that of Vice President of he United States.’’

Incidentally, on March 20, 1961, the Twenty Third Amendment to the Constitution was ratified. It grants residents of the District of Columbia electoral votes. 

As all Americans are well aware, this procedure was not followed, in the 2024 federal election. For that reason, it can be argued, before the Supreme Court, by an attorney, an expert on Constitutional law, that the 2024 federal election was fraudulent! Donald Trump is a fraudulent President, and JD Vance is a fraudulent Vice President!

The arguments can be made, before the Supreme Court, that in the Constitution, there is no mention of any popular vote; no mention of any political party; that the states have no right to meddle in a federal election; that all state laws requiring Electors to vote for certain candidates is Unconstitutional. 

Bear in mind that the main purpose of this proposed challenge to the 2024 Presidential Election, is to raise the level of awareness of the working class, to expose the hypocrisy of the bourgeoisie. Any possible ruling, by the Supreme Court, to the effect of removing Trump from office, is merely a bonus. 

As for those who object, quite reasonably, that the Twelfth Amendment, is a remnant of slavery, and should be abolished, I can only respond that you are absolutely correct. It was signed into law in 1804, with a view to giving more political power, to slave owners. It established the Electoral College, the number of Electors from each state based on the population of that state. Further, sixty percent of the slaves, of each slave holding state, were considered to be people, for the purposes of determining the number of Electors, for that particular state. All the more reason for the slave owners to own as many slaves as possible!

That in no way changes the fact that the Twelfth Amendment is still the ‘’law of the land’’! It has yet to be abolished!

Now that we have the experience of several revolutions, ‘’under our belts’’, we would be fools to not learn from that experience. And in fact, Lenin summed up that experience in Left Wing Communism, An Infantile Disorder:

‘’The fundamental law of revolution, which has been confirmed by all revolutions, and especially by all three Russian revolutions in the twentieth century, is as follows: for a revolution to take place, it is not enough for the exploited and oppressed masses to realize the impossibility of living in the old way, and demand changes; for a revolution to take place, it is essential that the exploiters should not be able to live and rule in the old way. It is only when the ‘lower classes’ do not want to live in the old way, and the ‘upper classes’ cannot carry on in the old way, that the revolution can triumph. This truth can be expressed in other words: revolution is impossible without a nation wide crisis (affecting both the exploiters and the exploited). It follows that, for a revolution to take place, it is essential first, that a majority of the workers (or at least a majority of the class conscious, thinking, and politically active workers), should fully realize that revolution is necessary, and that they should be prepared to die for it; second, that the ruling classes should be going through a governmental crisis, which draws even the most backward masses into politics (symptomatic of any genuine revolution is a rapid, tenfold and even hundredfold increase in the size of the working and oppressed masses- hitherto apathetic- who are capable of waging the political struggle), weakens the government, and makes it possible for the revolutionaries to rapidly overthrow it.’’ (italics by Lenin)

In conclusion, we can say that this ‘’popular uprising’’, of the working class, in response to the Epstein Scandal, that which I consider to be nothing other than the beginning of the Second American Revolution, is proof that the ‘’lower classes’’, the workers and family farmers, are no longer prepared to ‘’live in the old way’’. They are demanding changes. 

Further, the fact is that various members and supporters of the ruling class of multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie, have now come out openly, in opposition to President Trump and his policies. These policies include military strikes on civilians, as well as calling for the murder of democratically elected Members of Congress. Clearly, the bourgeoisie can no longer rule in the old way. 

The Epstein Scandal has indeed created a ‘’governmental crisis’’, so that even the ‘’most backward masses’’- I much prefer the term less advanced- are now involved in politics! Now it is a matter of raising the level of awareness of the most advanced workers, to the point that they are class conscious, aware of the revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin, true Communists! 

As a ‘’portion of the bourgeois intellectuals’’, break away and join the revolutionary class of proletarians, feel free to focus on raising the level of awareness of the most advanced workers. In this way, and only in this way, can this, the Second American Revolution, be successful.

Trump Calls For Release of Epstein Files

November 18, 2025. Could it be that an arctic front has just passed through the ‘’nether regions’’? Is it possible that hell has just frozen over? Countless people have previously sworn that ‘’Hell would freeze over, before Trump agrees to release the Epstein Files!’’ Yet on this day, Trump has called for the release of the Epstein Files.

Further, the House of Representatives has just passed, by a nearly unanimous vote of 427 to 1, a resolution to release those same files. The mainstream press is reporting that the Senate has also just agreed to release those files, by a unanimous vote. The bill could become law as early as tomorrow, as soon as Trump signs that resolution into law. 

Not only that, but people are also wondering if their eyes are deceiving them. Is it possible that Marjorie Taylor Greene, MTG, has joined the women who have survived sexual abuse, at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein, when they were in their early teens? These women are demanding justice, which is completely reasonable, and MTG agrees with them! This woman, previously one of the most passionate, fiercest supporters of Donald Trump, is now one of his bitterest enemies. Has the world gone mad?

No, the world has not ‘’gone mad’’. And no, the age of miracles did not end with the ‘’last chapter of the bible’’. On the contrary, miracles begin with the onset of revolution! And rest assured, the Second American Revolution has just begun!

It is very likely that historians will consider the No Kings Protest, held on October 18, 2025, to be the beginning of the Second American Revolution. After all, an estimated seven million people ‘’took to the streets’’, and not one protester was arrested! Clearly, the local police have effectively joined the Revolution.

As part of the Second American Revolution, the popular demand for the release of the Epstein Files is ‘’front and centre’’. There are a great many videos, on the internet, concerning this subject. Most of them are of little value, if at all. Yet one video, in particular, is quite instructive. It is titled, ‘’Massie Drops Bombshell Warning, Release the Epstein Files Now’’.

For the benefit of those who are not aware, I should mention that Republican Representative Massie is a Member of the House of Representatives, and a ‘’thorn in the side’’ of President Trump. He is one of the few Republicans, who refuses to take orders from Trump! I should also mention that, in the following video, which I have done my best to transcribe, the term GOP is mentioned. That stands for Grand Old Party, and is a reference to the Republican Party. Also, the term MAGA stands for Make America Great Again, and is a slogan dreamed up by Trump. Now to the video:

Massie says he ‘’Demands the release of the Epstein Files now’’, or else he is prepared to ‘’Expose the client list’’, to ‘’Release the names on the Floor of the House of Representatives’’. 

This is a very serious threat, as anything a Member of the House says, while on the ‘’Floor of the House’’, cannot be held against that Member, in a court of law.

Massie went on to state that, ‘’The Epstein case has consistently been shielded by powerful forces, wealthy and influential men have been protected, victims have been denied justice, and that the system has done everything in its power to bury the truth.’’ He went on to accuse Speaker of the House Johnson, of ‘’Trying to protect rich men who flew on jets to the ‘rape island’’’. 

This is a reference to the private island, which Epstein owned. It is widely considered to be the main location of the wide spread rape of underage girls, although certainly not the only one.

Massie went on to accuse Johnson of ‘’Obeying Trump’’. He also made it clear that he is prepared to ‘’Read the names of the men mentioned in the Epstein Files, into the Congressional Record’’.

A narrator referred to this as the ‘’nuclear option’’, as such a Record ‘’becomes permanent’’. It ‘’cannot be redacted or erased’’. 

She went on to admit that the ‘’FBI did not act on credible information’’, that they ‘’protect the rich and powerful’’, that ‘’victims testimony has been ignored’’. She referred to this as ‘’Institutional corruption’’. 

This is correct, as far as it goes. As a well trained bourgeois intellectual, she was careful to avoid any mention of classes. Her rather delicate reference to the ‘’rich and powerful’’, is a reference to the class of monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie. That is the class of people which the system is set up to protect. 

She then proceeded to give a surprisingly accurate description of the current conflict, taking place within the government:

‘’The GOP is in a war with itself over this issue. Trump wants to control which names get out and which do not. The establishment wants to avoid the embarrassment of exposing donors and allies. The MAGA faction wants to weaponize the list selectively, and Democrats, sensing the hypocrisy, are demanding transparency. Massie is calling out his own party for protecting pedophiles and rapists, in not normal political rhetoric. It is a sign of internal collapse, and when he says the GOP was rising its entire majority, as it sought transparency on this issue, he is right. The Republican base overwhelmingly wants these files released, and the political cost of protecting predators would be catastrophic.’’

The preceding paragraph calls for a little explanation. True, Trump and his supporters, want to release the names- selectively- of the ‘’clients’’ of Epstein. These ‘’select’’ names are those only of Democrats, and Democratic supporters. Yet the ‘’establishment’’, by which she means the state apparatus, is determined to not ‘’embarrass’’- expose- the ‘’rich and powerful’’, the billionaire child molesters, the pedophiles. Yet to cover for them would result in a ‘’catastrophic political cost’’.

It is significant that she makes no mention of the victims, the underage girls, the children who were raped! Even though they deserve justice, and are demanding justice, she pays them no attention. As a bourgeois scholar, her only concern is with the class of people she serves, the bourgeoisie.

She then goes on to state:

‘’But here is what matters most. Massie is setting a trap for his own party and the administration. If the files do not come out, he gets to play the crusader for victims, and if they do come out, he gets to say he forced the systems hand. Either way, the pressure is now public, and in the middle of all this, victims are now closer than ever to justice. …’’

In the preceding, she seems to be implying that Massie is strictly in it for himself, unprincipled, technically referred to as an opportunist. Yet it is entirely possible that he is taking a principled stand, ‘’doing the right thing’’, in the interest of securing justice for the victims. She mentions ‘’justice for the victims’’ almost as an after thought. Or perhaps it was an after thought.

She concluded by stating:

‘’What is really at stake is power, accountability, and whether a political system built to protect the wealthy, can ever be forced to serve the vulnerable instead.’’ 

The answer is no. Most emphatically not! The ‘’political system’’, by which she means the state apparatus, has not been set up to ‘’protect the wealthy’’. It has been set up to crush the lower classes, and in particular the working class, the proletariat. Such a ‘’system’’ can never be ‘’forced to serve the vulnerable’’.

It is a fundamental tenet of Scientific Socialism, Communism, that the existing state apparatus, which has been set up, by the monopoly capitalists, in order to crush the working class, must be smashed, at the time of the Revolution, and replaced with a different state apparatus, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. It is only under such a state of Scientific Socialism, that the ‘’vulnerable’’, in this case the children who were raped, now of course adults, can expect to receive justice. 

As the name suggests, under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, the monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, will have no rights! The working class, the proletariat, will have all the rights! The -formerly- ‘’rich and powerful’’ will not be allowed to hide behind high priced lawyers. They will be forced to face their accusers!

Further, if convicted, the best these rapists and child molesters- pedophiles- can expect, is a lengthy period of incarceration, in a remote work camp. The ‘’good old days’’ of spending time in a country club of a prison, complete with free room and board, clothing, medical, dental, vision, hearing, recreation, entertainment and education, will be over! They will be forced to perform hard physical labour, for perhaps the first time in their lives. The days of rewarding criminals, while punishing the victims, will soon be a ‘’thing of the past’’!

Now that the Second American Revolution has broken out, it is ever more urgent to prepare for Scientific Socialism. The working class has to be made aware of itself as a class, with its own class interests. These class interests are in direct opposition to the class interests of the multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie. The proletariat must be made aware of the Scientific Socialist, revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin!

Without the most advanced workers being made aware of those theories, the Revolution could be ‘’hijacked’’ by the social chauvinist, those who merely claim to be socialists. It stands the risk of those revisionists taking over the existing state apparatus, and setting themselves up, as the new rulers. Which is precisely their intention!

The only reason that Trump, as well as the Senate and House of Representatives, are now behaving in a ‘’sweetly reasonable’’ manner, is due to the revolutionary motion, the Second American Revolution, now sweeping across the country. Almost all working people are now demanding justice for the girls who were raped.

There were possibly as many as a thousand girls who were trafficked and raped, due to Epstein. It is entirely possible that many of those girls were of middle class backgrounds. If that is the case, then it is very likely that a considerable number of them have since attended Universities. That is significant, as it is only in University that people are exposed to the revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin. 

May I suggest to such people that it is time to bring your awareness, of those revolutionary theories, to the working class. After all, it is the proletariat, and only the proletariat, which is capable of overthrowing the bourgeoisie, and establishing the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Scientific Socialism at its finest!

As an incentive, consider all the fun you are going to have, after the Revolution, as you confront the pedophiles who assaulted you, and decide on their punishment. That is true justice!

Concerning Petition To Deport Melania Trump

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!

Bourgeoisie Divided

A video, recently posted on the internet, caught my attention. It has the most unusual title, ‘’Uh Oh, Right Wing Paper Floats Impeaching Trump’’. Despite the strangeness of the title, there appears to be something significant in the video.

The reason I say this, is because of other videos, also posted on the internet, concerning the same topic. It is alleged that Holman W. Jenkins, Jr., a ‘’columnist and editorial board member of the Wall Street Journal’’, wrote a ‘’blistering article’’, concerning President Trump and his tariffs. It is his opinion that Trump ‘’appears to be asking for impeachment with his ill founded trade war’’.

Bear in mind that the WSJ is owned by ‘’conservative media mogul Robert Murdoch’’, so that this is a very significant event. It means that the ruling class of multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie, is now deeply and openly divided.

Certain members of that class of multi billionaires, have spent hundreds of millions of dollars, in order to get Trump elected, to the White House. The idea was to give him the title of President, set him up as the figurehead Stooge, and then establish the rule of the Oligarchy. The richest men in the country were assigned, to steer Trump in the right direction.

At first, everything went according to plan. Trump was elected, sworn in as President, and was surrounded by these few supremely wealthy men, multi billionaires, one and all. Then came April 2, 2025, which he has labelled ’’Liberation Day’’. On that day, he imposed massive tariffs on all countries. 

The stock market responded by ‘’plunging to its worst day since March 2020’’, in the process wiping out several trillion dollars, of a paper fortune. Not that Trump was concerned. On the contrary, Trump was busy golfing! That man certainly has his priorities well established!

In the couple weeks since ‘’Liberation Day’’, the stock market has fluctuated wildly, as the investors respond to every impulsive statement that Trump makes. Yet the trend is downwards, with no ‘’bottom’’ in sight. Hence the talk, by certain members of the bourgeoisie, of impeaching Trump. 

Reality check! Trump has already been impeached! Twice, no less, in his first term! Which did absolutely no good, as the Senate refused to convict and remove him from office. So what makes them think that the ‘’third time is a charm’’? Nothing of substance has changed in the Senate! The House of Representatives can vote to impeach Trump, to their hearts content! The resulting trial, by the Senate, will merely result in another acquittal! This is not rocket science!

Yet as Lenin pointed out, in Left Wing Communism, An Infantile Disorder, such ‘’muddled thinking’’, is characteristic of even the most ‘’intelligent members of the bourgeoisie’’, and shows that ‘’they cannot help but commit irreparable blunders. That, in fact, is what will bring about the downfall of the bourgeoisie’’. Good to know!

As the members of the bourgeoisie are too stupid to figure this out, perhaps a few members of the middle class, the petty bourgeois, can assist them. Strictly for their own reasons, mind you. After all, these tariffs are bound to lead to something more than a ‘’deep recession’’. That something more is a Second Great Depression, which will have the effect of completely wiping out the middle class. 

With that in mind, may I suggest that middle class attorneys, those who are experts on Constitutional law, challenge the 2024 Presidential Election, on the grounds that it did not follow the procedure laid out, for all federal elections, in the Twelfth Amendment, to that Constitution. That Amendment is as follows:

‘’The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and all persons voted for as Vice-President and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate;

‘’The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted;

‘’The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in the case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President.

‘’The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.’’

As I have pointed out in previous articles, the Twelfth Amendment makes no mention of any popular vote. American citizens have nothing to say, concerning any federal election. That is completely at the discretion of the Members of the Electoral College. Further, those Electors are appointed by the states, and only by the states. Various Districts, including Columbia and Puerto Rico, are not represented.

In those same articles, I pointed out that the Electoral College is a remnant of slavery, and should be abolished. That in no way changes the fact that it is Constitutional Law, and must be respected. It is also a fact that all federal officials have chosen to disregard that particular Amendment, in direct violation of their oath, to ‘’Preserve, protect and defend the Constitution’’. They have no right to ‘’pick and choose’’ the articles they choose to defend!

It has been objected that the current method, of electing a President and Vice President, through a popular vote, has been in place since the days of the Civil War, one hundred and fifty years ago. True! That does not make it legal! It just means that all Presidents, as well as all Vice Presidents, who  have been elected during that time, have been fraudulent! As they are now!

A possible ruling by the Supreme Court, to the effect that the 2024 federal election was fraudulent, as it did not follow the procedure laid out in the Twelfth Amendment, would result in the removal from office, of both Trump and Vance. Hallelujah! Then again, what other possible ruling could the Supreme Court give? Even the staunchest, most conservative Justices on the Supreme Court, would fail to be impressed by appeals to tradition! Not when such tradition flies in the face of Constitutional Law! Both President Trump, and Vice President Vance, are fraudulent! As such, they must be removed from office! 

That is the best advice I can give for fighting Trump and his insane tariffs, on the ‘’legal front’’, so to speak. But as Lenin pointed out, such activity must take place in combination with work on the ‘’illegal front’’. This illegal, or ‘’underground work’’, can include involvement with various Councils, among other things. 

In Left Wing Communism, An Infantile Disorder, Lenin made this abundantly clear. In fact, he stressed the ‘’importance of combining legal and illegal struggle. This question is of immense importance both in general and in particular, because in all civilized and advanced countries, the time is rapidly approaching when such an application will more and more become -and has already partly become- mandatory of the Party of the revolutionary proletariat, inasmuch as civil war between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie is maturing and is imminent, and because of savage persecution of the Communists by republican governments and bourgeois governments generally, which resort to any violation of legality.’’ (italics by Lenin)

Our current situation involves the rounding up and deportation, of countless immigrants, to ‘’concentration camps’’ in other countries, without regard for ‘’due process of law’’. All ‘’detainees’’ are being denied their Constitutional right to legal representation, their ’’day in court’’. In fact, the Trump administration is openly defying federal court orders, in this respect. 

As regards illegal activity, may I suggest that Councils, or Soviets, which have appeared spontaneously, must be armed, equipped and trained, in preparation for the approaching Insurrection. Without such preparation, it is doubtful that the Insurrection will succeed. 

It is absolutely necessary to overthrow and then crush, the completely reactionary class of monopoly capitalists, the imperialists, the bourgeoisie. The one and only way that this can be done is by first smashing the existing state apparatus, and then setting up a different state apparatus, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

At the same time, we must learn from the mistakes of previous great revolutionaries, such as Stalin and Mao. They failed to crush their own bourgeoisie, or they did so with insufficient enthusiasm, so that after the deaths of each leader, the capitalists were able to return to power, in both the Soviet Union and China. 

After the forth coming American Revolution, under the American Dictatorship of the Proletariat, the American imperialists, the multi billionaires, will be completely crushed. It is not enough to crush them in the fields of politics and economics. It is also necessary to root them out in all fields of culture, science and academia. We must, and we will, exercise ‘’well rounded’’ Dictatorship over the bourgeoisie. They will not be allowed to return to power!

With that in mind, our immediate task is to raise the level of awareness of the proletariat, or at least the most advanced workers, to that of Scientific Socialists, Communists. As Lenin pointed out, the ‘’Proletarian vanguard’’ must be ‘’won over ideologically. That is the main thing. Without this, not even the first step towards victory can be made’’. 

Of course, it requires something more than the vanguard of the proletariat, to mount a successful Insurrection. Yet the less advanced pay strict attention to the more advanced. They are the leaders of the working class!

This is not to imply that the less advanced should be neglected. On the contrary, they should be guided, encouraged to support the politicians they admire, as well as taking part in protests and demonstrations. Not to mention joining the two mainstream political parties, as card carrying members, and running for political office. Their families and friends can also become card carrying members, and support each other. 

As part of a campaign ‘’platform’’, may I suggest getting the support of the Senior Citizens, by going to the Seniors Centres, and promising to fight to increase the pensions, tax free, if elected. Also free medical, dental, vision and hearing. 

The students will come around to your way of thinking, if you promise free education, while cancelling all student loans. 

Do not neglect the sports people. Go to the sports clubs, and promise to defend their democratic right to bear arms, as is guaranteed in the Constitution.

The Union Halls are a good place to get the support of the working people. They are only too anxious to raise the minimum wage, for example. 

Feel free to take the advice of the imperialists! They say that, ‘’if you do not like the way things are, then you should try to change it from within.’’ Outstanding! Join both parties, and run against yourself! Go to Washington, or any state capital, and fight for the common people, the workers and farmers. See how far you get!

In this way, by becoming politically active, the less advanced workers will soon learn, from their own- bitter!- experience, that the ruling class of multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie, are in charge, and fully intend to remain in charge. As a result, they are sure to come around to our way of thinking. 

Bear in mind that, after the successful Insurrection, after we establish the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, certain advanced workers will be placed in positions of authority. Some of these workers will have little training, if at all. The point being that any training they receive now, will prove to be most valuable. 

The Oligarchy is determined to abolish the existing democratic republic, and set themselves up as the new dictators. They have already made great strides in this direction! 

The working people have responded with the Hands Off Movement. Even now, young as it is, it is very powerful, steadily growing. For that reason, the imperialists are attempting to divert it onto some harmless path of social reform. It is our duty, that of Scientific Socialists, Communists, to make sure that does not happen.

Time is not on our side. If nothing else, Trump is determined to force the issue. The class struggle could break out into open civil war, at any time. We had best be prepared.

Constitutional Crisis Imminent

Saturday, March 14, 2025. A day which may well ‘’live in infamy’’. A day which may go down in history, ‘’As the day American democracy died’’, according to one journalist.

He could be right. It was certainly the day that members of the Trump administration ‘’crossed the line’’, openly defied a court order, from a federal judge, in direct violation of the Constitution. Which calls for a little explanation.

The Trump administration has invoked the ‘’Alien Enemies Act of 1798’’, in order to round up and deport, those whom it considers to be ‘’undesirable’’. As long as those individuals are not American citizens, and even if they are in the country legally, it makes no difference. They are being arrested and deported, without regard for ‘’due process of law’’. In popular terms, they are being denied their ‘’day in court’’. 

In this particular case, a federal judge, Chief Justice Boksburg, was in the process of ruling on the legality of deporting three plane loads of alleged ‘’Venezuelan gang members’’. He issued that which is referred to as a ‘’temporary restraining order’’, against that deportation. He ordered those planes to not take flight, or if any of them did, to return to the airport. Certain members of the Trump administration ignored that order. 

A journalist asked Trump if his administration had violated the judge’s orders, and his response was revealing. As he said, ‘’I do not know yet, you have to speak to the lawyers’’.

I say that this response is ‘’revealing’’, as it is clear that Trump is indifferent to the suggestion that he may have violated the orders of a federal judge! He simply does not care, one way or the other! He thinks that he can do whatever he wants, and get away with it. As he is a convicted felon, thirty four times over, and yet to serve even a single day in jail, we can see his point! The laws do not apply to billionaires!

The White House Press Secretary phrased the matter in somewhat different terms: ‘’The administration did not ‘refuse to comply’ with a court order. The order, which had no lawful basis, was issued after terrorist aliens had already been removed from US territory. …A single judge, in a single city, cannot direct the movement of an aircraft carrier full of foreign alien terrorists who were physically expelled from US soil’’.

We can only wonder if the Press Secretary is aware that she is flirting with charges of Contempt of Federal Court! To state that an order, from a federal judge, ‘’had no legal basis’’, is to imply that the judge is fraudulent. As well, to state that a ‘’single judge cannot direct the movement’’ of something, is blatantly false. A federal judge can do just that! Then too, her statement that ‘’the order…was issued after the terrorist aliens had already been removed from US territory’’, is almost certainly false. 

Another official, referred to as ‘’Trump’s Border Czar’’, was even more emphatic. As he stated, ‘’We are not stopping. I do not care what the judges think, I do not care what the Left thinks, we’re coming’’. 

Bravo, Border Czar! You have clearly stated, in simple, straight forward English, the attitude of all Trump officials! The policy, of the current Trump administration, is to do as Trump dictates, and to hell with the Constitution!

Just a little word of unsolicited advice, Mr. Border Czar. Do not be surprised if the federal courts take a ‘’dim view’’ of such an attitude. Even if you, and countless other federal officials just like you, consider your oath, that of ‘’preserving, protecting and defending the Constitution’’, to be nothing other than ‘’idle verbiage’’, the courts think otherwise! They may even hold you accountable! They could even go so far as to charge you with Criminal Contempt of Court! Which is precisely what it is! You have been warned!

Chief Justice Boksburg has ordered the DOJ, Department Of Justice, lawyers to come up with a ‘’sworn affidavit’’, within a certain time, with a ‘’chronology’’, which is to say minute by minute, concerning the precise time the planes took off, the precise time they received notice to turn the planes around, as well as the precise time the planes landed. 

In short, Justice Boksburg is determined to find out, if the Trump administration officials, deliberately violated his court order. If he concludes that such is the case, as it almost certainly is, then he will very likely issue a ‘’Criminal Contempt of Court’’ ruling. This could well result in the DOJ being forced to prosecute the case against any and all government officials, involved in this Contempt case, including Donald Trump. 

That time has elapsed, and the DOJ has refused to provide those details. What is more, they may also refuse to prosecute any Criminal Contempt charges, against any Trump administration officials. As the DOJ is firmly ‘’under the thumb’’ of Donald Trump, that also, is quite likely.

In that case, the court may choose to appoint an ‘’Independent Prosecutor’’, and have that individual prosecute the Criminal Contempt charge against the federal officials. Should that Independent Prosecutor issue an arrest warrant for certain Trump administration officials, then it is up to the marshals to arrest those individuals.   

If that happens, then we will see if those marshals remain loyal to their oath, to the Constitution, of if their loyalty lies with Trump. As Trump has been a ‘’busy boy’’, purging all federal employees who may disagree with him, that remains to be seen.

In a worst case scenario, the marshals refuse to carry out the orders of the Special Prosecutor, thus proving their loyalty to Donald Trump. 

And that, dear reader, is the very definition of a ‘’Constitutional Crisis’’. It will mean- perish forbid!- that all federal employees are now loyal to Trump, and not the Constitution. It will also mean that the American democratic republic, is dead. The Dictatorship of the American Oligarchy,  with Trump-Musk at the head, has begun. 

The astute reader may wonder why a true Marxist, a Communist, would be so concerned with the democratic republic. Because, as Lenin stated, in March of 1919, ‘’History shows that it is in precisely a bourgeois democracy, that a most acute struggle between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie develops, extensively and freely’’.

We most certainly want the class struggle to develop, under the democratic republic, to its logical conclusion, that of civil war, between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie, and the subsequent Dictatorship of the Proletariat. 

By contrast, under a bourgeois dictatorship, the rule of the Plutocracy, such a class struggle will be far more difficult.

In conclusion, I can only stress the fact that it is urgent to become active, both legally and illegally. On the ‘’legal front’’, so to speak, all American should take part in town hall meetings, join the two mainstream political parties, as card carrying members, and read the Essential Works of Marx and Lenin. As well, they should encourage their friends who are attorneys, especially those who are experts in Constitutional Law, to challenge the 2024 Presidential Election, on the grounds that it was Unconstitutional, in violation of the Twelfth Amendment. 

On the other hand, certain illegal work must also be carried out. Preparations for the Insurrection must be intensified. The members of Councils must be further armed, trained and equipped. The most advanced workers must be trained, in various fields of leadership, in preparation for the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. After the Revolution, such workers will be placed in key positions of authority. Any training they receive now, will prove to be most valuable.

May the signs and banners proclaim:

Prepare For Insurrection!

Workers of the World, Unite!

Dictatorship of the Proletariat!

Scientific Socialism!

Crush the American Oligarchy!
