The Insanity of Melania Trump

Gerald Mcisaac

As is well known, Donald Trump, the President of the United States, also known as ‘’POTUS’’, was a close ‘’associate’’ of Jeffrey Epstein and his partner in crime, Ghislaine Maxwell. It is equally well known that both Epstein and Maxwell were in the business, for many years, of selling underage girls. Countless children were sold to the highest bidder, supremely wealthy men, the ‘’rich and powerful’’. 

This ‘’business’’, a form of slavery, or at least of slave trading, politely referred to as ‘’human trafficking’’, was supremely lucrative. Both Epstein and Maxwell were eventually arrested, charged and convicted of various under age sexual assault crimes. To date, those were the only two people who have been convicted, in that wide spread rape and exploitation of children. 

Epstein was found dead in his prison cell, officially as a result of ‘’suicide by hanging’’, even though such a hanging is not possible, and Maxwell is still in prison, at least for the moment. She is receiving ‘’preferential treatment’’, allegedly due to the ‘’intercession’’ of the President, and there is wide spread speculation that she may soon receive a presidential pardon.

There can be no doubt that Donald Trump ‘’socialized’’ with both Epstein and Maxwell, commonly referred to as ‘’partying’’, if only because there are numerous pictures of them together. As well, Trump also flew frequently on the private plane of Epstein, visiting him on his private island. They were clearly ‘’good buddies’’. 

As is also well known, Melania Trump, the First Lady of the United States, FLOTUS, was also a close associate of both Epstein and Maxwell. She too, ‘’partied’’ with those two. Numerous pictures of them together, leave no room for doubt, on that matter. 

Now that Donald Trump has managed to get himself to the White House, as President, both he and his ‘’blushing bride’’, Melania, would like nothing more than to put their previous association with Epstein and Maxwell, behind them. Ancient history! Forget about it!

In a previous article, I documented the manner in which Donald Trump is attempting to divert the attention of the common people, away from the Epstein Scandal. It just so happens that Melania Trump is also making a similar attempt. The only difference is in her approach to the problem. Their different approaches, to the same problem, that of the ‘’Epstein Scandal’’, is instructive.

Whereas Donald Trump denies all involvement with Epstein and Maxwell, and dismisses all evidence to the contrary, Melania has chosen a more ‘’proactive’’ approach. She has hired a team of lawyers, and allegedly instructed them to send ‘’cease and desist orders’’, to ‘’multiple journalists’’, across ‘’multiple outlets’’, warning them that any mention of Melania Trump, in connection with either Epstein or Maxwell, would ‘’trigger catastrophic consequences’’, in the form of a ‘’billion dollar lawsuit’’. To even suggest a connection between them, perhaps in reference to photographs with her and Epstein ‘’partying together’’, was labelled a ‘’reputational attack’’. All parties involved were given a deadline to issue an ‘’apology and retraction’’. 

Faced with such an ultimatum, most journalists did just that. They ‘’caved’’. Michael Woolf is not ‘’most journalists’’. He ‘’called Melania’s bluff’’. He did not wait for Melania to carry out her threat. Woolf first sued Melania.

Melania made a serious mistake, when she threatened to sue Michael Woolf. He is a highly respected journalist and writer, and was the former biographer of Donald Trump. For that reason, he ‘’knows where all the bodies are buried’’, figuratively speaking. And now that she has challenged him, he has ‘’risen to the occasion’’. 

It is to the credit of Michael Woolf, that he is defending his First Amendment right, under the Constitution, to ‘’freedom of the press’’. He is maintaining that the threatened lawsuit, of Melania, as the ‘’First Lady’’, amounts to an effort, on behalf of a government official, to ‘’restrict the freedom of the press’’. 

Now the mainstream press is reporting on this matter, even making reference to SLAPP. As if working people are Philadelphia lawyers! They are not! In fact, SLAPP stands for Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation, based upon the First Amendment right of a journalist, to report on ‘’public figures’’. And rest assured, Melania Trump, as the wife of the President, is a public figure! 

In the ‘’counter suit’’, of Michael Woolf, he is seeking ‘’injunctive relief’’, as well as ‘’discovery’’. That begs the question: What are they talking about?

According to the internet, ‘’Injunctive relief is a court ordered remedy that either restrains a party from performing specific actions or compels them to take certain actions. It is typically sought when monetary damages are insufficient to address the harm, ensuring protection of rights and interests.’’

It is significant that Woolf is apparently not suing Melania for money. Or at least, there is no mention of money. Instead, he is actively defending his democratic right, as an American, to freedom of the press. The ‘’injunctive relief’’, which he is asking the court to impose, is to prevent Melania from carrying through on her threat to sue him for a billion dollars.

This brings us to ‘’discovery’’. Once again, according to the internet, ‘’Discovery refers to a phase in court proceedings where both parties gather and exchange evidence to prepare for trial. This process allows parties to request documents, ask questions, and obtain relevant information that may not be publicly available, such as emails, contracts, and other materials. The goal of discovery is to ensure that both sides have access to the necessary information to build their cases and to promote transparency in the legal process.’’

This ‘’discovery’’ is the last thing Melania wants! The only reason she threatened numerous journalists, including Woolf, with a billion dollar lawsuit, was to make sure that any alleged involvement between her and Epstein, was not made public! Yet now that Woolf has ‘’called her bluff’’, she may have to disclose, in court, all e-mails, photographs and documents, which may tie her to Epstein. Public Record! And she brought this on herself! If only she had remained silent!

Yet Melania did not stop there. Determined to dig a deeper hole for herself, she got the ‘’brainstorm’’ of requesting the lawsuit be transferred to a more ‘’sympathetic court’’, away from the state of New York, to a federal court, one based in the state of Florida. As she maintains that Florida is her ‘’legal residence’’, while Woolf lives in the state of New York, this provides the legal framework for the request.

Precisely what the lawyers for Woolf were hoping she would do! Now they are quite gleefully ‘’licking their chops’’, anxious to ‘’depose’’ Melania, to determine ‘’jurisdictional discovery’’. Or as they phrase it, to git her on the ‘’stand’’ and ‘’tear her apart’’!

Once again, we must determine the legal meaning of these technical words.  According to the internet: ‘’Depose means to give a sworn statement or testimony in a legal setting’’. A ‘’sworn statement’’ is one given under oath, not necessarily in a court of law, so that any ‘’false statement’’, meaning any lie, is an act of perjury, and the punishment for perjury is quite severe. 

This brings us to ‘’jurisdictional discovery’’. Again according to the internet, this ‘’Refers to the process by which a party gathers evidence to establish a court’s jurisdiction over a case’’. 

The lawyers for Melania are arguing that Woolf lives in the state of New York, but Melania lives in the state of Florida. As they live in different states, it is a federal matter, not a state matter. 

On the other hand, the lawyers for Woolf are arguing that Melania lives in New York, not Florida, so that it is a legal matter for the state of New York. Further, they have every legal right to challenge the claim of Melania, that she is a resident of Florida. 

In fact, there are some rather serious allegations that Melania may be claiming to be a resident of Florida, solely for tax purposes. A legal ‘’convenience’’, possibly against the law. 

Now the lawyers for Woolf are anxious to question Melania, under oath, inside or outside a court of law, and to demand ‘’proof’’ that she is a legal resident of Florida. This includes such items as flight records, credit card receipts and mail delivery records, among other things.

Of course, Melania is under no obligation to answer any of these questions. She has every legal right, as guaranteed under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, to not incriminate herself. This is commonly referred to as ‘’Taking the Fifth’’. 

The trouble being that if she ‘’Takes the Fifth’’, the courts can draw an ‘’adverse inference’’. This is to say that the judge ‘’can assume the evidence she is hiding is unfavourable to her’’. Her refusal to answer ‘’becomes evidence against her’’. Either way, she loses. If only she had remained silent!

Now we can count on the lawyers for Woolf, to produce various document, receipts, flight manifests, mail delivery records and photographs, in an attempt to discredit Melania. In a public setting, as such court documents become public property!

This is commonly referred to as ‘’airing the dirty laundry’’. The Trump ‘’dirty laundry’’! It is very likely that the closely guarded secrets, of the Trump family, will soon become public. Thank you, Melania!

I have gone into this, in some considerable detail, because it is part of the Epstein Scandal, and that Scandal has the attention of the common people. Then too, the press may report that which is happening, using the legal jargon, but without explaining the precise meaning of the terms. People have the right to know. 

Both Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, are determined to divert the attention, of the working people, from the Epstein Scandal. Their approach is somewhat different, but equally insane. Strangely enough, this is not unusual, among the bourgeois. 

Lenin goes into this in his work, Left Wing Communism, An Infantile Disorder, in reference to an illogical statement of the highly respected British Prime Minister, Lloyd George: ‘’It may be said, in passing, that this argument shows in particular how muddled even the most intelligent members of the bourgeoisie have become, and how they cannot help committing irreparable blunders. That, in fact, is what will bring about the downfall of the bourgeoisie. Our people, however, may commit blunders (provided, of course, that they are not too serious, and are rectified in time), and yet, in the long run, will prove the victors.’’

In my opinion, that which Lenin stated, ‘’in passing’’, is of the utmost importance. It explains the illogical thought processes, the bizarre impulses, the impulsive ‘’brainstorms’’, of the bourgeoisie. It is merely the result of the ‘’muddled thinking’’, of  ‘’even the most intelligent members of the bourgeoisie’’. They ‘’cannot help committing irreparable blunders’’. 

It is important to point out these examples of ‘’muddled thinking’’, to the working people. This will help to ‘’bring about the downfall of the bourgeoisie’’. 

Lenin also pointed out that, as we are all human, we all make mistakes. That includes those whom he refers to as ‘’Our people’’, which is to say Scientific Socialists, true Communists, those who call for the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. As long as these ‘’blunders’’ are ‘’not too serious’’, quickly acknowledged and ‘’rectified in time’’, then that will assure our victory.

As for those who may object, quite reasonably, that both Donald and Melania Trump are anything but the ‘’most intelligent members of the bourgeoisie’’, I can only respond that you are absolutely correct. This ‘’muddled thinking’’, among the bourgeoisie, extends to those who are not overly bright.

Donald Trump and the Twenty Fifth Amendment

Gerald Mcisaac

President Trump recently sent the American military on a mission, an invasion of the sovereign country of Venezuela, in order to kidnap the President of that country, Nicolas Maduro, and his wife, Cilia Flores. Both he and his wife were immediately brought to the United States, have been charged, and are now being held for trial. 

The former Vice President of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez, has been given the title of ‘’Interim President’’. This is a mere formality, as Trump has made it clear that he ‘’plans to run Venezuela’’, and to ‘’extract the oil’’, of which Venezuela has such a great abundance. But then, Trump quickly changed his mind, and announced that he, Donald Trump, is now the ‘’Acting President of Venezuela’’.

Without doubt, Donald Trump is a man of action. Also completely impulsive. He acts upon any stray thought that crosses his mind. As he is now the President of the United States, he has considerable power. For that reason, those impulsive ‘’acts’’ can have most serious consequences. 

One of those impulsive acts, was the invasion of Venezuela, and subsequent abduction of President Maduro. The people of Venezuela are not about to ‘’take this lying down’’. Their President may or may not have been well loved. It matters not. The Americans had no right to invade their country and kidnap their President. They certainly had no right to set Trump up, as their ‘’Acting President’’, to ‘’run’’ their country, and ‘’extract’’ their oil. They are about to make this abundantly clear!

This is by no means the first time the American imperialists have attempted to invade another country, take over the existing government, and run it, to their satisfaction. The only difference is that the invasion of Venezuela is more blatant. Yet the outcome is sure to be the same.

Perhaps the most clear cut example, was the American invasion of Vietnam. It was more subtle than the Venezuelan invasion. It started in 1950, when American ‘’military advisers’’ were sent to Vietnam, as part of the ‘’Military Assistance Advisory Group’’, (MAAG). 

At that time, the French were at war with the democratic forces of Vietnam, referred to as the ’’Viet Minh’’. The official ‘’role’’ of those American advisers, was to ‘’provide logistical and technical support’’ to the French. 

As is well known, the French were defeated, by the Viet Minh, in 1955, and this resulted in the country being divided, along the seventeenth parallel, into a northern zone, or Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and a southern zone, or Republic of Vietnam. This certainly did not end the war, or American involvement. The role of the American ‘’advisers’’ merely changed to ‘’provide logistical and technical support’’ to the military forces of the South Vietnamese, referred to as the Army of the Republic of Vietnam, (ARVN). 

From a historical perspective, 1955 marked the beginning of the ‘’Vietnam War’’, which is to say the war between the ‘’North’’ and the ‘’South’’. In the South, the ‘’National Liberation Front for South Vietnam’’, or ‘’Viet Cong’’, came into existence. The American ‘’advisers’’ assisted the South Vietnamese army, the ARVN, in their war with the Viet Cong, as well as with troops from the North. 

As is well known, this American ‘’advice’’, to the ARVN, was not sufficient to crush the democratic forces of the Vietnamese. So in 1964, President Johnson began a full scale bombing campaign of the North. As well, he sent ground troops into the South, so called ‘’boots on the ground’’, in an attempt to ‘’pacify’’ the South. At one point, a half million American troops were stationed in South Vietnam. Even this massive display of military power, failed to crush the democratic forces. The Americans were defeated, with the last of the troops leaving South Vietnam, in 1973. This American defeat, in Vietnam, is officially referred to as a ‘’withdrawl’’. 

It may seem reasonable to assume that this ‘’involvement’’, within Vietnam, this attempt to subjugate another country, which lasted for over twenty years, would have taught the American imperialists a valuable lesson. It clearly did not. Or perhaps they have merely forgotten. Vietnam was not exceptional! It was typical! No other country is about to submit to American aggression! That includes Venezuela! 

Without doubt, now the democratic forces of Venezuela are organizing, preparing to oppose this American invasion, this attempt to ‘’take over’’ their country, to steal their oil, among other things. Not about to happen! The Americans are about to find themselves involved in ‘’another Vietnam’’!

As if that is not ‘’bad enough’’, Trump also plans to invade Greenland, which will result in a war with Denmark; to invade Columbia; to invade Panama, in order to ‘’take over’’ the Panama Canal; to invade Canada, in order to make Canada the ‘’Fifty First State’’; to go to war with Iran! War on numerous fronts! Madness!

Now even the American imperialists, the monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, those who are determined to establish an Oligarchy, are aware that they have made a ‘’serious mistake’’. They thought they could control Donald Trump. They cannot. He is a ‘’loose cannon’’, completely out of control. Now they have to find a way to remove him from office. That is where the Twenty Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, and in particular, Section 4, comes into play. As it is so important, I have chosen to copy it here, in its entirety:

‘’Section 4, Declaration by Vice President and Others:

‘’Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
‘’Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.’’

In more popular terms, this means that, if the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet, which is to say eight Members, are convinced that the President is unable to perform his duties, then they can submit such a declaration to the Speaker of the House, and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate. The Vice President then becomes the Acting President. But then a similar response, by the President, in writing, to the effect that he is still alive and well, shall result in his resumption of the office of President. At that time, the Vice President, and the majority of the Cabinet, have four days to resubmit that same statement. At that point, both Houses of Congress, the House of Representatives and the Senate, have twenty one days to decide if the President is able to ‘’discharge the power and duties of his office’’. It requires  ‘’two thirds of both Houses of Congress’’, in order to remove him from office.

As there are one hundred Senators, it requires sixty seven votes. As well, there are 435 Members of the House of Representatives, so it also requires the vote of 290 Members of the House, in order to remove the President from office. That is considered to be a very ‘’high bar’’, and with good reason. Both Houses of Congress, the House of Representatives and the Senate, are controlled by the Republican Party, the Party of Donald Trump. Such a ‘’two thirds vote’’, by both ‘’Houses of Congress’’, in order to remove him from office, is not about to happen. At least, not at present.

On the other hand, the revolutionary motion, which is currently sweeping the country, may ‘’inspire’’ the vast majority to vote for the removal of Trump, from the office of Presidency. It depends upon the power of the common people, as expressed in the strength of the revolutionary motion.

The only reason I have gone into this detailed description, of Section 4 of the Twenty Fifth Amendment, is because it is being considered, very seriously, by the ruling class of monopoly capitalists. The mainstream press is certainly covering it. As well, the Leftist press is devoting a considerable amount of attention to the matter. Yet even the Leftist press is failing to point out the class interests, which are involved. Sadly, that is typical of the Leftist press. Leftist in name only!

As well, there are a great many common people, by whom I mean workers and family farmers, who still have great faith in the existing legal system. It will take something more than a ‘’stern lecture’’, to persuade them of the correctness of Scientific Socialism. It is to their credit, that they are convinced by their own personal experience, along with the proper arguments, concerning the revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin.

For the moment, the ruling class of monopoly capitalists, the bourgeoisie, do not know ‘’which way to jump’’, to state it in popular terms. They are ‘’at their wits ends’’, so to speak. They succeeded in placing Trump back in the White House, at great expense, I might add, as a means of establishing the rule of the Oligarchy. Success! And now their ‘’Golden Boy’’ has turned against them! He is determined to act upon every stray impulse. In the process, he is sure to destroy the very state apparatus he is supposed to protect!

Yet this was foreseen, in the Communist Manifesto. As it states: ‘’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.’’

The ruling class of monopoly capitalists, are currently in a ‘’process of dissolution’’. They are fighting among themselves, as well as with the ruling class of monopoly capitalists of other countries. Now we can expect a ‘’small section of the ruling class’’, to ‘’join the revolutionary class’’, the proletariat, the ‘’class that holds the future in its hands’’.

For our part, we must ‘’welcome them with open arms’’! Their class background must not be held against them! Bear in mind that both Marx and Lenin were middle class. Petty bourgeois. To be prejudiced against a fellow revolutionary, because of their class background, is to be prejudiced against Marx and Lenin!

On the contrary, their previous careers, as loyal and devoted servants of the monopoly capitalists, the bourgeoisie, will serve as valuable teaching aids. They will advise working people of the fact that such a service counted for nothing. The multi billionaires care only about themselves. There is absolutely no reward, for many years of faithful service. 

These middle class professionals can also provide a most valuable service, after the revolution, in rebuilding the country. They have the education and training, necessary to organize any and all large businesses. These are skills which working people, proletarians, simply do not have.

Donald Trump and the Donroe Doctrine

Gerald Mcisaac

On January 3, 2025, the United States invaded the sovereign country of Venezuela. The Prime Minister of that country, Nicolas Maduro, as well as his wife, Cillia Flores, were ‘’abducted’’, or more accurately, they were kidnapped, and taken to America. Both were then taken to court, where they ‘’faced a four count indictment’’. 

Two of these charges ‘’relate to drug trafficking conspiracies’’, while the other two ‘’relate to firearms offences’’. 

It is significant that the Trump administration did not notify Congress, ‘’in advance of the strikes’’, as it was thought that it would ‘’endanger the mission’’. They were afraid that a Member of Congress could ‘’leak it’’, to the press. 

On the contrary, before the invasion, in response to the legitimate concerns, of certain Members of Congress, they stated that they ‘’had no intention of sending troops into Venezuela’’. 

As a Member of Congress stated, ‘’It is not that they did not advise us of the plan to invade Venezuela, as is required by law! They simply lied about it’’! 

The ‘’law’’, to which this Member of Congress was referring, is nothing other than Article One of the Constitution. This Article gives Congress- and only Congress!- the right to ‘’levy taxes, regulate commerce, and declare war’’! 

The very fact that President Trump sent American troops into the sovereign country of Venezuela, is an act of war! Further, it is completely beyond the authority of the executive branch of government, led by the President.

Donald Trump is attempting to usurp the authority of the legislative branch of government, which is to say the Congress. He is ‘’wiping his feet’’ on the Constitution, completely disregarding it. More accurately, he is violating Constitutional law! Setting himself up as the new Monarch! Hail His Majesty, King Donald the First!

Perhaps someone should remind this simple soul, this absent minded American, this would be dictator, that Americans gave their former ruling class of monarchs, the British nobility, led by King George, their ‘’walking papers’’, many years ago. Donald Trump seems to have forgotten, that which every school age American is well aware. The United States is a republic, not a monarchy! Could it be that a little reminder is in order?

Sadly, the democratically elected Members of Congress, both of the House of Representatives and the Senate, have chosen to allow Trump to usurp their authority. These are the same people who expect all Americans to show them the proper respect. After they have abdicated their authority to that would be Monarch! Not about to happen! Respect is earned, not granted!

Donald Trump has justified this invasion, by invoking that which he refers to as the ‘’Donroe Doctrine’’. He no doubt considers this to be a clever ‘’play on words’’, based on the ‘’Monroe Doctrine’’, of the Nineteenth Century. This calls for a little explanation.

In 1823, President James Monroe, in an annual State of the Union Address to Congress, made it clear that the foreign policy of the United States, was to oppose any ‘’European colonialism’’, in the Western Hemisphere. Any such interference was to be considered to be a ‘’hostile act against the United States’’. In turn, the United States would ‘’recognize and not interfere with existing European colonies, nor meddle in the internal affairs of European countries’’. 

The Donroe Doctrine is similar, in that any European interference in the Western Hemisphere is simply not allowed. That Hemisphere is strictly under the influence of the United States. Any and all European powers must ‘’keep their distance’’. In turn, there is no ‘’in turn’’! Trump is determined to meddle in the internal affairs of all other countries, European or non European, as he sees fit!

With regards to the charges against President Maduro of Venezuela, and his wife, they recently appeared in court and pleaded ‘’Not Guilty’’, to all charges. A Leftist journalist then posted a video, on the internet, titled, ‘’Maduro Flips the Script On Trump At First Court Appearance’’.

In this video, the journalist documents the fact that other Heads of State have previously been ‘’apprehended’’, taken to America, and charged with various ‘’drug related offensives’’. The first was Manuel Noriega, the Head of State of Panama. He too, was ‘’apprehended’’ in 1989, taken to America, given the formality of a fair trial, convicted and sentenced to forty years in prison.

The second was the President of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernandez. In 2022, he was arrested, charged, convicted and sentenced to forty five years in prison, for ‘’his role in a drug trafficking operation that moved hundreds of tonnes of cocaine into the United States’’. Strangely enough, he was recently pardoned by President Trump.  

The narrator then proceeded to point out the ‘’irony’’’ that President Maduro will very likely use the defence of ‘’Presidential Immunity’’, as a way to avoid criminal prosecution. That is the very defence that Trump used, successfully, in previous court appearances!

Now the Trump administration, or at least the Department of Justice, DOJ, is going to have to argue against giving that same Head of State Immunity, to President Maduro! If nothing else, this will help to expose the hypocrisy of Trump!

Now that Trump has invaded Venezuela, and kidnapped the President, he placed the Vice President, Delcy Rodriguez, as ‘’Interim President of Venezuela’’. This is strictly a formality, as Trump also made it clear that, as he stated, he ‘’plans to run Venezuela’’, in order to ‘’allow American businesses to extract Venezuelan oil’’. As Venezuela has possibly the largest oil reserves in the world, that explains the invasion of the country!

Trump also wants to take undisputed control of the Arctic. For that reason, he recently announced that he plans to seize control of Greenland, within the ‘’next two months’’. This despite the fact that Greenland is part of Denmark, a Member Country of NATO! (NATO stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization.)

Numerous countries have expressed solidarity with Denmark, in opposition to the plan of Trump, to take over Greenland. Many of these countries are also members of NATO. An invasion of Greenland could well result in war between the various countries of NATO!

Another video, which I recommend, is that given by the Meidas Touch host, Ben Meiselas, titled, ‘’Furious World Leaders Give Final Warning To Trump’’. In this video, Meiselas gives a deeply passionate speech, in opposition to the actions of the Trump administration. He documents the fact that world leaders are condemning the actions of President Trump, such as the invasion of Venezuela, and the subsequent kidnapping of President Maduro and his wife. As well, they are also condemning the plans of Trump, to ‘’conquer all of the Western Hemisphere’’, to ‘’invade Greenland’’, to ‘’invade Columbia’’, to ‘’invade Mexico’’, to ‘’annex Canada as the fifty first state’’. 

Perhaps the most striking statement, was that of the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, in that she stated: ‘’Article 2, Paragraph 4, of the Charter of the United Nations, which states verbatim, ‘The members of the Organization, and their international relations, shall refrain from the threat or use of force, against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the purpose of the United Nations’’’. 

It is to the credit of Meidas Touch, that this is immediately followed by a video titled, ‘’Trump Loses It As Emergency UN Meeting Condemns Him’’. The title of the video is rather self explanatory. It includes a statement by the United Nations Secretary General, Antonio Guiterrez, at the United Nations Security Council meeting, concerning the invasion of Venezuela: 

‘’I remain deeply concerned that rules of international law have not been respected with regard to the three January military action. The Charter enshrines the prohibition of the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state. The maintenance of international peace and security depends upon the continued commitment of all member states to adhere to all provisions of the Charter.

‘’Mr. President, Venezuela has experienced decades of internal instability and social and economic turmoil. Democracy has been undermined. Millions of its people have fled the country. The situation is critical, but it is still possible to prevent a wider and more destructive conflagration. I call on all those involved to engage in an inclusive democratic dialogue, in which all sectors of society can determine their future. This entails the full respect of human rights, the rule of law, and the sovereign will of the Venezuelan people. I also urge Venezuela’s neighbours and the international community more broadly, to act in the spirit of solidarity and adherence to the principles, laws and rules erected to promote peaceful coexistence. I welcome and am ready to support all efforts aimed at assisting Venezuelans in finding a peaceful way forward. ..In situations as confused and complex, as those we now face, it is important to stick to principles, respect for the UN Charter, and all other applicable legal frameworks to safeguard peace and security. Respect for the principle of sovereignty, political independence and territorial integrity. The prohibition of the threat or the use of force. The power of the law must prevail. International law contains tools to address issues, such as the illicit trafficking of narcotics, disputes about resources and human rights concerns. This is the route we need to take’’.

The Secretary General of the United Nations certainly made a fine speech. Venezuela is indeed a ‘’sovereign country’’, and as such, should be respected. As well, the United Nations Charter should also be respected. Yet that speech is completely pointless, as the United States is a permanent member of the Security Council. As such, they have the right to overrule any resolution the United Nations may choose to adopt. And rest assured, they are certain to overrule any resolution which condemns their invasion of Venezuela.

It should be noted that Trump has other plans, aside from those which have just been documented. These include invading Panama, in order to take over the Panama Canal. Another war with Iran, if only to ‘’put them in their place’’. And then there are countries, such as Columbia, which are responsible for supplying America with vast quantities of narcotics. So many countries to invade!

There is a popular expression, which comes to mind: ‘’Be careful what you wish for, as you may get just that’’!

The reason I say this, is because the American ruling class of monopoly capitalists, the bourgeoisie, were determined to abolish the democratic republic, and set up the rule of an Oligarchy, led by Donald Trump. They have succeeded, got exactly what they wanted, and are now ‘’kicking themselves’’! Donald Trump is now a ‘’loose cannon’’, completely out of control, and those same monopoly capitalists are ‘’at their wits end’’, with no idea of what to do.

As soon as the people of Venezuela get over the initial shock of the invasion, they will no doubt organize an armed resistance. Equally without doubt, Trump will respond by sending ever more troops to the country, in order to ‘’restore law and order’’, or some such foolishness.

As well, we can expect Denmark to defend that which is rightfully theirs, which is to say Greenland. We can also expect neighbouring countries to join Denmark, in this anticipated war with America. That will be the end of NATO!

Lest we forget, there are numerous other countries that Trump plans to invade, in pursuit of his Donroe Doctrine. This will result in fighting a war on numerous fronts! Such a war cannot be won! What is more, the American Oligarchy is well aware of this. They got exactly what they ‘’wished for’’! 

The fable of the Genie who summoned a Demon from the ‘’nether regions’’ comes to mind. It is one thing to summon a Demon, and something else entirely to control that Demon! 

We can think of the American Oligarchy as the Genie, and Trump as the Demon they have summoned, or perhaps created. He is now running amok, determined to inflict as much damage as possible. What is more, he is doing a most impressive job!

Now the American Oligarchy is faced with a little problem. How to ‘’send the Demon back to the nether regions’’? That is the question. The best answers these simple souls can come up with, is the same old tried and true procedures of yesteryear. They have not worked before, so try it again. This includes that of impeachment, twice unsuccessful. Then there is the Twenty Fifth Amendment, a long shot at best.

In fact, their ‘’best bet’’ is the Twelfth Amendment, which lays out the procedure to be followed for all federal elections. As that procedure was not followed, in the 2024 federal election, it stands to reason that both Trump and Pence have been fraudulently elected. A simple Supreme Court challenge, on that grounds, would almost certainly result in their removal from office. As I have gone into this in previous articles, there is no need to repeat it here.

The current chaos and confusion, within Washington, concerning the implications of the Epstein Files, the recent invasion of Venezuela, as well as the plans of Trump to invade Greenland, Columbia, Iran and Panama, among other things, has thrown the ruling class of bourgeoisie into disarray. 

Yet this was foreseen, in the Communist Manifesto. As it states: ‘’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.’’

I can only hope that this current crisis in capitalism, will serve to motivate the bourgeois ideologists, those who have managed to ‘’raise themselves to the level of comprehending theoretically the historical movement as a whole’’. Feel free to join the ‘’revolutionary class, the class that holds the future in its hands’’. That class is the working class, the proletariat.

To such bourgeois ideologists, I can only say: Welcome, my Brothers and Sisters, my Comrades!

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

Gerald Mcisaac

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

Gerald Mcisaac

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!
