US: Trump Renames Lake Ontario – “Lake America” – Amid Trade Tensions with Canada! (28.8.2026)

As made as a bag of spanners. US tech-firms – such as Google – are harbingers of US neo-imperialism. In the US it is the “Gulf of America”, whilst in Mexico it is the “Gulf of Mexico” – whilst everywhere else it is “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)”. This is following a legal challenge by Mexico. Talking of renaming things – “Canada” used to be called “English America” until 1707, “British America” until 1783, and “British North America” until 1867 (when the “Canadian Confederacy” was formed – which united French and British colonies). The breakaway “United States” was a British rebellion in the southern area of what was “British America” which was renamed “British North America”.

US: 25 States “Sue” Trump Administration Over Section 301 Tariffs! (4.8.2026)

The coalition is asking the court to block the tariffs, declare them unlawful, and order refunds for the duties already paid.

The legal challenge centres on the administration’s effort to preserve Trump’s broad tariff regime after federal courts rejected two earlier versions imposed under different statutory frameworks. The states argue that federal officials seized upon Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 and forced-labour concerns merely as a pretext to rapidly recreate nearly identical global duties that the Supreme Court previously struck down in February.

“President Trump’s illegal tariffs are nothing more than a tax on hardworking families, driving up the cost of groceries, household essentials, building materials, and countless everyday goods that New Yorkers rely on,” said New York Governor Kathy Hochul in a statement.

Universal Postal Union Shows Solidarity!

Universal Postal Union [UNU]: 25 Countries Suspend Postal Services to US Over Tariffs! (28.8.2025)

Korea Post said it will halt sending air parcels and some express mail services to the U.S. starting Tuesday, while keeping premium services, operated via private couriers, available subject to customs duties.

Other countries including France, Britain, Germany, Italy, India, Australia, and Japan, also announced the suspension. 

The U.S. media outlet NPR said eliminating de minimis shipments would hurt poorer Americans the most and — presaging the headaches that logistics companies are encountering this week — would be “an administrative nightmare,” citing a report released by the U.S. think tank Cato Institute.

Email: Russia Explains “Why” the Collective West is Economically Suffering! (15.4.2025)

However, Biden’s policy has back-fired as the poverty and suffering did not remain only in Europe but has spread to the US – whilst the intended victim – Russia – simply redirected its economic alliances elsewhere, with its economy now booming. Russia has basically reinvigorated its old Soviet alliances – despite rejecting them after 1991. Russia has also cosied-up to China. The problem the US has – is that it has nowhere to go – except down. There are no alternative alliances – it is domination or collapse. Trump’s tariffs are exactly the wrong policy as the US is losing dominance and other countries are following the example of Russia!

Palestine Will Be Free!

Statement: Communist Party USA – Trump Fascism – Forwarded By Communist Party of Palestine! (9.4.2025)

As for the communist movement, the Trump administration has not focused much on it due to its limited influence in the United States today. However, he sees liberalism as communism, and has therefore targeted it for attack. These attacks have manifested in portraying liberals as “left-wing Marxists,” enemies, and traitors.

The introduction to Project 2025, the Trump administration’s second action plan, states:

“The long march of cultural Marxism through our institutions has been realized. The federal government has become a weaponized monster against American citizens and conservative values, and freedom and liberalism are threatened as never before.”

Furthermore, Project 2025 aims to:

“Eliminate Marxist indoctrination and divisive programmes like Critical Race Theory, and eliminate newly created offices and positions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
