CALEB MAUPIN attempts an explanation of Trotskyism and Trotsky the man, a big challenge considering the complexities and controversies involved, and why this pseudo-Marxist tendency or faction is not to be confused with the more genuine revolutionary conception of scientific socialism, that is the Leninist concept of a professional party of revolutionaries united around the concept of Marxism-Leninism, democratic centralism, and other qualifications vital for the triumph of the working class in any protracted struggle with the bourgeoisie. Lenin’s wing of Marxism—usually denominated “Bolsheviks (the majority faction) created the Soviet Union, overcoming great obstacles—internal and external—many of these actually emanating from people who, while calling and believing themselves revolutionists, practiced political deviations (ultra-leftism, opportunism, anarchism, reformism, etc.) that could have (and indeed almost did) killed the revolution in its cradle. Taimur Rahman also adds his personal experience with Trotskyist politics.
ACTIVISTS & HEROES

JEFF J. BROWN—It would be like the USA paying Chinese scientists in the 1950s to work and learn how to make the atom bomb in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Of course we accept! Until 2012, the question must be asked, why did Fauci, Baric and Daszak commit treason against the West? Was the CIA already calling the shots and demanding in-country access to spy on the Chinese?
Because that is what happened in 2012, when the CIA’s spy network in China got wiped out. At this point, for sure the CIA was pushing their asset, Peter Daszak to spare no time and expense to be in China, gathering intelligence on China’s progress in bioweapons, all taught to them by Daszak and Baric, paid for by Fauci. While Daszak is surely CIA, Baric seems to be beholden to the US military. Ditto Fauci, as NIH is controlled by the Pentagon.

JEFF J. BROWN—NATO is reduced to plowing billions of dollars and euros of weapons into Ukraine to slow down the eventual victory of Russia there. In desperation, will NATO go nuclear there, when the obvious is known to all of the world that it has lost against Russia? All NATO has done in Palestine is to create a holocaust against women, children, old people, starving them to death and destroying their entire infrastructure. They have gained absolutely nothing in terms of military victory.
NATO has always been very good at slaughtering old people, women, children and defeating much weaker opponents like Grenada, Panama and Libya. Uncle Slaughter’s delusional psychopathy of controlling the world’s peoples and their resources lasted about ten years, from 1990 to 2000, when Wall Street and the City of London were raping and plundering what was left of the USSR, driving the people into destitution, starvation and misery.

Aid Workers TARGETED For Rocket Attack By Isr@el!
8 minutes readJIMMY DORE SHOW—Israel killed seven aid workers operating in Gaza, spurring international outrage. The aid workers hailed from Australia, Britain and the US, among other nations, and were driving in vehicles clearly marked as aid trucks and with the approval of the IDF. Now, as a result, other aid organizations are pulling out of Gaza, increasing the likelihood that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians will face starvation in the near future. Guest host Russell Dobular and his Due Dissidence co-host Keaton Weiss, along with Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger, discuss the sheer inhumanity of the Israeli government’s willingness to massacre so many Palestinians.
