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!

With Most Sincere Communist Greetings,

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

Gerald Mcisaac

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!
