Washington mobilizes for war, as Iran’s bourgeois-clerical regime offers major concessions The threat of a massive American military onslaught on Iran and a broader region-wide war continues to loom large over the Middle East following the latest round of bilateral talks in Geneva Tuesday.

The scale of this purge surpasses even Ronald Reagan’s mass firing of striking air traffic controllers during the 1981 PATCO strike.

“Bold, audacious, stunning”: A servile US media hails Trump’s Venezuela war crime Major US news outlets are working to cover up the criminal nature of the aggressive US invasion of Venezuela and kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro with a propaganda campaign hailing the military operation.

One of the most sinister aspects of the attack on Venezuela has been the universal parroting by the media of CIA talking points about the operation, illegal under US and international law. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Trump calls for execution of Democratic Party legislators In response to a video put out by former CIA and military Democrats urging agents and soldiers to follow “lawful orders,” Trump and members of his administration called for their trial and execution.

The statements from Trump are even more remarkable when compared to the content in the video, which is nothing more than a pro-government appeal that contains no call to defy him and no suggestion of disobedience beyond the duty to refuse an illegal order.

Never before in American history has a sitting president spoken the way Donald Trump did this week. Not even during the Civil War did Abraham Lincoln demand the execution of the political leaders of the Confederacy.
