Concerning Petition To Deport Melania Trump

Gerald Mcisaac

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Workers of the World, Unite!

Prepare For Scientific Socialism! 

Peace! Democracy! Socialism!

Dictatorship of the Proletariat!

Bombard the Bourgeois Headquarters!

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

Gerald Mcisaac

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! 

Concerning Allegations That Trump Is A Russian Asset

Gerald Mcisaac

There are several videos available, on the internet, alleging that Trump is a ‘’Russian Asset’’. These are very serious allegations, as Trump is not only the American head of state, but also the Commander In Chief of all branches of the military. To accuse him of being in the service of a foreign government, is to accuse him of High Treason, a capital offence.

Yet strangely, Trump has not responded to any of these allegations. This is most surprising, as there is a heavy financial penalty to be paid for slander. Trump can personally testify to that! He has successfully sued several media outlets, quite recently. As well, he has been on the receiving end of such lawsuits. Yet he has refused to file a lawsuit against any of the people, making those allegations! 

Incidentally, the legal definition of slander is that a statement is false, and maliciously made. Naturally, as long as indisputable proof exists, that the statement is true, there can be no question of slander. Could it be that Trump is not suing for slander, because there is no slander?

These most serious allegations, that of High Treason, on the part of Donald Trump, are being made by a former high ranking KGB agent, by the name of Alnur Mussayev. This gentleman claims, in a Facebook post, that ‘’Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987’’. He further alleges that Trump was given the code name of ‘’Krasnov’’. He went on to say that ‘’Trumps narcissism made him an ideal target for recruitment by Moscow’’. What is more, he also alleges that ‘’Trumps personal KGB file is still active and is managed by Putin’s close allies’’. He goes on to state that the current policies, of the Trump administration, are explained by these facts. 

Incidentally, for the benefit of those readers who are not experts in psychology, I should mention that the definition of a narcissist is that of someone who ‘’has an unreasonably high opinion of themselves, need and seek too much attention and want people to admire them. They also do not understand, or care, about the feelings of others’’. That is a near perfect description of Donald Trump!

I can further add, that the KGB is the Russian equivalent of the American CIA. The members of both spy agencies are well trained, highly skilled, professional liars. For that reason, anything they say is at best, questionable.

Those who support these allegations, against Trump, point to the ‘’2017 Steele Dossier’’, which also cites ‘’compromising material’’ against Trump. Yet critics point out, correctly, that the Dossier contains references to ‘’anonymous sources’’, so cannot be trusted. After all, such sources are little better than rumours. 

This brings us to a second former KGB agent, Yori Shvets, who also alleges that Trump was recruited by the KGB, as a ‘’Russian Asset’’, in his 2021 book. He claims that Russian interest in Trump began even earlier, in the ‘’late seventies’’, due to Trump’s real estate business. His marriage, in 1977, to Ivana Zelnickova, a beautiful Czech model, first brought him to the attention of the Czech Intelligence. Shvets goes on to say that ‘’Trump’s 1987 trip to Moscow marked a key moment in his alleged recruitment’’. 

There are further allegations, on the internet, that ’’In 2008, Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev also helped Trump, during a debt crisis, by buying his Palm Beach property’’. Of course, Trump most emphatically denies all of these allegations. 

Another individual, by the name of Sacha Sotnik, has recently made two videos, posted on the internet. He describes himself as a ‘’former high ranking member of the USSR, one who had access to top secret information’’. He maintains that he is now an ‘’independent journalist, living and working in Slovakia’’. 

One of those videos is titled, ‘’Trump is a KGB agent’’, while the other is titled, ‘’Impeachment or Treason?’’. He alleges that the KGB not only recruited Trump in 1978, but also ‘’played a key role in his victory, in the 2024 election. This information may become the basis for impeachment, and even charges of treason.’’

Certainly, no one is his right mind, is about to take the word of any former member of the KGB, or of any Russian Oligarch, for that matter. So it is correct to be skeptical of these allegations, to put it politely. After all, such individuals are habitual liars. 

The same cannot be said of the former Acting Director of the FBI, Andrew McCabe. If there is any American government official, current or former, whom we can trust, it is Andrew McCabe. 

With that in mind, consider the fact that several years ago, during the first Trump administration, CNN conducted an interview with McCabe. This is covered in a video, currently posted on the internet, titled: ’’McCabe: It’s possible that Trump is a Russian asset’’.

The headline of the video reads, ‘’McCabe: From the very beginning, the president continuously undermined the Russia investigation; the question is why?’’

One of the latest videos, making similar allegations, is that of Craig Unger. It is titled, ‘’US author explains Donald Trump’s Russia, KGB connections’’. The narrator says he has written two books on the subject. He claims to be ‘’completely certain that Trump is a Russian asset’’. He also say that ‘’not a single one of his facts has been challenged’’. One of these ‘’facts’’ is that, as early as 1987, Trump called for pulling out of NATO, and aligning the US with Russia. Which is precisely what he is doing now. He also made a reference to an old movie, ‘’The Manchurian Candidate’’, in which Russia manages to secure a ‘’Communist’’ in the White House. Is it possible that life is imitating art?

I mention these videos, in order to stress the fact that these allegations are widespread, if nothing else. What is more, they are very likely to become ever more widespread. Especially after the February 28 meeting, between Trump and Zelensky, in the Oval Office, of the White House, in the presence of a great many journalists. 

The full video is readily available, on the internet, and is being widely discussed. The journalists are agreed that the meeting ‘’devolved into an Oval Office shouting match’’. They are also agreed that Trump just ‘’stood American foreign policy on its head’’! 

This is to say that, for the last eighty years, since the end of the Second World War, ‘’America has been at the centre of an alliance, with Western European countries, against the power of Russia’’. Not any more! Now America is aligned with Russia, against the countries of Western Europe! Now what could possibly have provoked such a dramatic shift in foreign policy? Could there be a particle of truth to the allegations that Trump is a Russian asset? One thing is clear: whether or not Trump is a Russian asset, Putin could not possibly be more pleased with him!

It has even been suggested that this could be grounds for impeachment, and subsequent removal from office. That is not about to happen! There is no chance of Trump being removed from office, as a result of impeachment proceedings. Even if Trump was to be removed from office, such a removal would not resolve the fundamental problem, that of stopping the Oligarchy, led by Elon Musk, from seizing power. 

As I have documented in previous writings, that which is required is the application of legal and illegal measures. Such legal measures include the application of the Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution, so that the Supreme Court could rule that Trump is a fraudulent President, and Vance is a fraudulent Vice President.

That would not completely stop the threatened take over, by Elon Musk and the other members of the Oligarchy, but would certainly be a big step in the right direction. That requires the cooperation of the common people, workers and family farmers. Yet such a removal from office, may well inspire those people. At least, it would prove to the skeptical, that the Oligarchy can be beaten. 

For the moment, may our signs and posters, as well as our emails, contain the following slogans:

Stop the Oligarchy! 

Dictatorship of the Proletariat!

Workers of the World, Unite!

Scientific Socialism! 

Project 2025 Going Into Effect

Gerald Mcisaac

As I write this, it is now late February, and true to his word, Trump has wasted no time in implementing his completely reactionary agenda, that of Project 2025. He is being assisted in this less than noble objective, by his ‘’Lord and Master’’, Elon Musk. It is Musk who pulls the strings, and Trump ‘’dances to his tune’’. It is safe to say that Trump is the finest Stooge, since Curly Howard!

The federal agencies in Washington, continue to be devastated by the ‘’Trump-Musk purges’’. The military has been hard hit lately, with the firings of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, along with several other high ranking generals, as well as all three JAG commanders. 

JAG stands for Judge Advocate General, and they are the ‘’top lawyers’’ for the Army, Navy and Air Force. Their main duty is to advise the military officials, concerning the legalities of ‘’military actions’’. As far as Trump is concerned, it is really quite simple: If he gives the order, it is legal, and must be carried out! 

Yet the opposition to the ‘’Trump-Musk coalition’’, as well as the ‘’Oligarchy’’, is growing, becoming stronger daily. The working people are looking for leaders, and Bernie Sanders, the ‘’Independent Senator from Vermont’’, the self described ‘’Independent Socialist’’, is ‘’rising to the occasion’’.

In an address to Congress, posted on the internet, under the title, ‘’No God Kings Will Rule In America’’, Sanders gave a remarkable speech. As it is so important, I have chosen to reproduce it here:

‘’Future generations will look back at this moment, what we do right now, and remember whether we had the courage to defend our democracy, against the growing threats of Oligarchy, and authoritarianism. Elon Musk, the wealthiest man on the planet, is attempting to dismantle major agencies of the federal government, which are designed to protect the needs of working families and the disadvantaged.

‘’These agencies were created by the US Congress. and it is Congress’s responsibility to maintain them, to reform them, or to end them. It is not Mr. Musk’s responsibility. They will remember whether we stood with President Abraham Lincoln, at Gettysburg, who in 1863, looking out over a battle field where thousands of people had died…in the fight against slavery, and he stated that, ’this nation under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that a government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth’.

‘’Do we stand with Lincoln’s vision of America, or do we sit idly by and allow this country to move into a new vision, and that is a government of the billionaire class, by the billionaire class, for the billionaire class… 

‘’But it is not just Oligarchy that we should be concerned about. Not just the reality that today, three people own more wealth than the bottom half of American society. A hundred and seventy million. Three people have more wealth than the bottom 170 million. It is not just that the gap between the very very rich and everyone else is growing wider ….more income and wealth inequity today than we have ever had …We are moving under Trump towards authoritarianism. More and more power resting in fewer and fewer hands…

‘’Elon Musk, the wealthiest man on the planet, is attempting to dismantle major agencies, of the federal government, which are designed to protect the needs of working families and the disadvantaged. These agencies were created by the US Congress, and it is Congress’s responsibility to maintain them, to reform them or to end them. It is not Mr. Musk’s responsibility. What Mr. Musk is doing is patently illegal, and Unconstitutional and must be ended. …

‘’President Trump attempted to suspend all federal grants and loans, an outrageous and clearly Unconstitutional act… under the Constitution…the President can recommend legislation, he can support legislation, he can veto legislation, but he does not have the power to unilaterally terminate funding passed by the Congress…

‘’It is Congress, the House and the Senate, who control the purse strings, but in this move towards authoritarianism, it is not just the Congress that is being attacked, it is our judiciary…

‘’The Vice President…. said that ‘judges are not allowed to control the executives legitimate power’. …One of the major functions of the federal courts, is to interpret our Constitution, and when appropriate, serve as a check on the Unconstitutional power of the executive. …

‘’Mr. Musk meanwhile, has proposed, ‘that the worst one percent of appointed judges, be fired every year’, and he demanded the impeachment of judges that have blocked him from accessing sensitive Treasury Department files. No doubt, under Mr Musk’s rule, it will be him and his billionaire friends who determine who the worst judges are….you do not impeach judges who rule against you here in the US…

‘’Under the Constitution, we have a separation of powers, brilliantly crafted by the founding fathers of this country, in the 1770’s….an executive branch, a legislative branch, and a judiciary …Mr. Trump and his friends are not just trying to undermine two of the three pillars of our Constitutional government, the Congress and the courts, they are also going after the media. …cannot have a functioning democracy, …without an independent press. …’’ 

(This was followed by a list of major media news outlets which Trump has recently sued, using the power of his presidential office)

‘’The President, using his incredible power and the power of his agencies, to go after media in this country, who are saying and doing things he doesn’t like. …Time to ask a simple question….What do Mr Trump and Mr Musk and their fellow billionaires, really want? …their endgame? their goal?…It is exactly what ruling classes through out history, have always wanted, and have always believed to be their right ..more power for themselves, more control for themselves, more wealth …they are determined to not allow democracy, and the rule of law to get in their way …the needs, the concerns, the pain, the ideas, the dreams, of ordinary people are simply an impediment, to what they the Oligarchs are entitled to. They actually believe this!’’ 

(Sanders then went on to explain that, before the American Revolution of 1776, the ruling class of British nobility, believed that they had the ‘’divine right of kings, appointed by God, not to be questioned by mere mortals’’ ) 

‘’Now we have an ideology…that a very wealthy group of people …their absolute right to rule …Oligarchs of today are our modern day kings … their greed has no end’’ 

(Sanders then listed the three richest men in the country, each of whom is worth several hundred billion dollars. It is clearly his opinion that these three multi billionaires form that which he refers to as the ‘’Oligarchy’’. He also maintains that their wealth is equivalent to the ‘’bottom half of American society, that of one hundred seventy million people’’. He went on to state that their wealth has soared dramatically, since the November election of Trump)

‘’Meanwhile, 60 percent of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, 85 Million are uninsured for medical, 25 percent of seniors are trying to survive on 15 thousand a year or less, 800 thousand are homeless, and we have the highest rate of childhood poverty of almost any major country on earth, and real inflation adjusted wages for the average American worker has not gone up in fifty years.’’

In my opinion, Sanders has ‘’hit the nail right on the head’’! He has provided us with a detailed, accurate description of the current situation in America. It is not a pretty sight!

As a result of this rather ‘’grim situation’’, a ‘’mass movement’’ has taken place, or a ‘’grass roots, popular uprising’’, to phrase it in popular terms. The people taking part in this movement, are looking to Sanders for leadership. They want him to tell them what to do. This is documented quite well, in a video titled, ‘’Massive Crowds Show Up For Bernie Sanders In Trump States’’.

At the start of the video, the narrator points out that a great many Americans are feeling ‘’aimless’’, somewhat ‘’frustrated  with the Trump administration’’, and the ‘’Democratic Party is not doing a whole lot to fight back against it’’. 

That is putting it most politely! In fact, the Democratic Party is clearly ‘’in cahoots’’ with the Republican Party! Both Parties serve the same class of monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie. As the class of monopoly capitalists has determined to change their method of rule, from that of a democratic republic, to that of an Oligarchy, both mainstream political parties have determined to submit, to the will of their political masters. This despite the fact that the Oligarchy plans to abolish both mainstream political parties! Both Republican and Democratic Parties, are now ‘’falling on their swords’’! Sacrificing themselves, out of love for the monopoly capitalists!

The narrator then went on to point out the fact that there is no election campaign, yet a great many people are showing up, for the Sanders ‘’Fight the Oligarchy Tour’’. As Sanders phrases it, on his posters, ‘’Together we must say NO to oligarchy, NO to authoritarianism, NO to massive cuts in Medicaid and NO to huge tax breaks to billionaires’’. 

An excellent idea! But just how do we achieve those most noble objectives?

As Sanders stated, in one of his town hall meetings, ‘’Trumpism will not be defeated by politicians inside the DC Beltway. That is not going to happen. It will be defeated by millions of Americans ….all over this country, who come together, at a grass roots level…in a movement that says no to Oligarchy, no to authoritarianism, no to kleptocracy, no massive cuts to programs, that the working class desperately needs, and no to huge tax breaks for the billionaires and the one percent.’’

Sanders certainly has a point there! He sounds very much like a Scientific Socialist! A true Marxist! A Communist! Yet with his next statement, he reverted to his true, middle class, Utopian Socialism, nature. 

The course of action, recommended by Sanders? That the voters, within Congressional Districts controlled by Republican Members of Congress, apply pressure, to their Member of Congress, to vote against these tax breaks! 

As if that is about to do a world of good! Both mainstream political parties have resigned themselves to their fate, to that of being abolished, as the Oligarchy takes power. So no Member of Congress can be threatened with removal from office, as that office is about to be abolished! An empty threat!

Senator Bernie Sanders is a very intelligent man. He is a highly respected leader of the working people, a Member of the Democratic Socialists of America, DSA, and well aware of the plan, of the Oligarchs, to abolish the democratic republic. As he stated, the Oligarchs are not about to ‘’allow the rule of law to get in their way’’. He even compared them to the monarchs of yesteryear, including the British nobility, which formerly ruled the American colonies. Absolutely correct!

Yet in order to stop the Oligarchy, Sanders is suggesting a strictly legal, non violent course of action. As if that is about to impress the Oligarchy! As far as they are concerned, laws are made to be broken!

The proper approach, is to combine legal and illegal action, while not ruling out violence. As well as the legal action, recommended by Sanders, may I suggest a legal challenge to the 2024 Presidential election, on the grounds that it was Unconstitutional, in direct violation of the Twelfth Amendment. A Supreme Court ruling, to that effect, would remove both Trump and Vance from office. 

At the same time, on the ‘’illegal front’’, so to speak, preparations must be intensified, for the approaching Insurrection. The Oligarchy is determined to seize power, is in the process of seizing power, with no regard for legalities, as they think that they have the ‘’divine right to rule’’! A mere Supreme Court decision is not about to impress them!

With that in mind, may I suggest further training, arming and equipping of Councils, as I have outlined in previous articles. In secret, of course, as far as possible. Part of that training may involve the study of the key works of Marxism, such as the Communist Manifesto, State and Revolution, Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, What Is To Be Done?, and Left Wing Communism, An Infantile Disorder.

In conclusion, we can say that the monopoly capitalists, the multi billionaires, the bourgeoisie, have decided to change their method of rule, from that of a democratic republic, to a straight forward dictatorship, in the form of an Oligarchy. This involves abolishing the legislative and judicial branches of government, which is to say, both the Senate and House of  Representatives, as well as all courts. Further, both mainstream political parties have agreed to this. They are surrendering their power to the Oligarchy.

The common people, by whom I mean the workers and family farmers, must be made aware of this. They must be encouraged to become politically active, as experience is such a fine teacher. Take the advice of Sanders, all of which is perfectly legal, and see what happens. No change!

At the same time, consider the revolutionary works of Marx and Lenin. These are readily available on the internet, even in audio form. This is to drive home the fact that the existing state apparatus must be smashed, at the time of the Insurrection, and replaced with a new state apparatus, in the form of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, in order to crush the multi billionaires. Rest assured, after the successful socialist revolution, they will make every effort to return to power. 

The future lies with Scientific Socialism, in the form of Councils, exercising power through the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Now the common people have to be made aware of this.
