WATCH: Hundreds of Communists March Through the Streets of Philadelphia, Corporate Media Silent.

Hundreds of members of the Revolutionary Communists of America (RCA) marched through the streets of downtown Philadelphia on Sunday following the conclusion of their first party congress in the United States. The nascent far-left Trotskyist political party is an offshoot of the Revolutionary Communist Party in Great Britain and a member of the Revolutionary Communist International.

The communist group, new to the U.S. political scene, should not be confused with other American communist parties, including the Maoist-aligned Revolutionary Communist Party, USA—a personality cult dedicated to Bob Avakian’s thought—and the Communist Party USA, the country’s oldest communist political party, founded in 1919.

While the U.S. corporate media often focuses on marches organized by neo-Nazi groups—some suspected of being federal entrapment operations—like Patriot Front and the Blood Tribe, the RCA actions in Philadelphia received very little coverage.

According to the RCA’s website, the group embraces violent and militant class struggle in an effort to launch an “American Socialist Revolution.”

“The RCA is a party of class fighters committed to the complete overthrow of capitalism,” the group states. “We fight for a world of material superabundance and reject the artificial scarcity of a system based on the pursuit of profits.”

Additionally, they state that they “fight to build a revolutionary leadership worthy of the name and to establish a workers’ government that can mobilize the working class to tackle the capitalist roots of war, inequality, oppression, and climate catastrophe.”

FLASHBACK: Kamala Dropped Investigation of Supplement Co. Represented By Her Husband’s Law Firm & Heather Podesta.

Kamala Harris, while serving as California‘s Attorney General, dropped a fraud investigation into the health supplement company Herbalife after a large political donation from Heather Podesta, a powerful Democrat lobbyist—and member of the Podesta family—tied to the company. The Herbalife case and Harris‘s relationship with the Podesta family have renewed questions regarding her so-called commitment to the ‘care economy’ and standing up to corrupt corporate interests.

In 2015, government documents show that San Diego prosecutors for the California Attorney General’s office wrote to Harris requesting additional resources to push their investigation of Herbalife. The company was accused of preying on Hispanics and low-income consumers by enticing them into a multi-level marketing scheme.

However, just three weeks after Harris received the letter from her prosecutors, her nascent U.S. Senate campaign received three contributions from Heather Podesta, according to The Huffington Post. At the time, Podesta worked as a government affairs staffer for Herbalife—and would later serve as an independent contract lobbyist for the company.

‘QUE MALA.’

“It’s disgusting,” Chicago-based anti-fraud activist Julie Contreras said during the 2020 Democratic presidential primary. She added that her nickname for Harris was “Que Mala,” a play on Kamala meaning “How bad?” Activists in the Los Angeles Hispanic community had asked Harris to investigate the company, claiming it was a pyramid scheme since 2013.

Even while other state attorneys general launched their inquiries into the supplement company, including a federal FBI investigation that kicked off in 2014, Harris slow-walked California‘s investigation. Concerningly, it came to light after the fact that Herbalife was represented by the Venable law firm, where Harris’s husband, Douglas Emhoff, worked. There is no evidence, however, that Emhoff was involved with the Herbalife client portfolio.

In 2016, Heather Podesta was paid $250,000 for lobbying efforts on behalf of Herbalife.

Texas Policewoman Shot by Venezuelan Illegal: Reports.

Venezuelan national Jorge Chacon-Gutierrez, who shot a policewoman with in San Antonio, Texas, early Sunday morning, has been identified as an illegal immigrant. The confrontation between the 25-year-old migrant and San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) officers occurred around 3 AM as the force responded to a domestic violence call. Upon arrival, officers found Chacon-Gutierrez lying in bed with a rifle. He opened fire on the officers, dying in the ensuing gunfight. It remains unclear whether the Venezuelan died as a result of the officers’ gunshots or if he committed suicide.

The wounded officer, shot multiple times, underwent surgery Sunday morning. Doctors expect her to survive.

Border Patrol apprehended Chacon-Gutierrez in November 2023 after he illegally crossed into the U.S. at Eagle Pass, Texas. Despite his illegal status, authorities soon released him into the U.S., scheduling his immigration court date far in the future in April 2026.

This incident raises further questions about the lax policies surrounding migrants detained following illegal entry into the United States. It could prove particularly damaging to presumptive Democratic Party presidential nominee Kamala Harris due to her senior role in Joe Biden‘s government and special responsibility for tackling illegal immigration as “border czar”—an informal title she is trying desperately to shed.

Brandon Judd, President of the National Border Patrol Council, recently revealed that he told her exactly what policies are required to end the southern border crisis, but she refused to implement them.

Britian’s Royal Air Force Bans ‘Crusaders’ Nickname for Fear of Offending Muslims.

Britain’s Royal Air Force’s 14 Squadron has dropped its historic “Crusaders” nickname following a complaint that it is offensive to Muslims. The name, which dates back to the squadron’s missions over Gaza and Palestine during World War I, is now apparently considered inappropriate by the RAF’s leadership.

The decision came after a single RAF crew member lodged a complaint, claiming the term was insulting. Despite the nickname being a significant part of the squadron’s identity and history, crews have been ordered to remove any references to “Crusaders” from their hangar.

An aviator expressed frustration to the Mail on Sunday, stating, “If they’d have asked members of the squadron, rather than dictating this change, almost everyone would have been in favor of retaining ‘Crusaders,’ because it is so much part of our history. There was never any prejudice or malice in the name.”

RAF officials argue that the focus should be on upholding values that reflect the modern and diverse service.

An RAF spokesman stated, “As a modern and diverse service, our focus must be on not giving prominence to any offensive term that goes against the values of the Royal Air Force. Therefore, 14 Squadron have ceased using their historic unofficial nickname. The traditions and informal nicknames used by the RAF in the earlier days have a place in our history. However, some are no longer appropriate in the 21st Century.”

Biden Demands Constitutional Amendment to Vandalize Supreme Court After Democrat Lawfare Failings.

Joe Biden is rolling out a series of proposals to radically change the United States Supreme Court and the presidency in the wake of the Democratic Party’s failed lawfare campaign against former President Donald J. Trump. In an opinion editorial for The Washington Post, the 81-year-old Biden lays out three major changes he intends to pursue: a constitutional amendment to end presidential immunity, term limits for Supreme Court justices, and a binding code of conduct for the high court.

PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY.

The Biden-Harris plan calls for a radical rollback of presidential immunity through what he bills as a ‘No One Is Above the Law’ amendment to the U.S. Constitution. “It would make clear that there is no immunity for crimes a former president committed while in office,” he writes.

Biden, Kamala Harris, and their Democratic allies falsely frame the issue as one of simple criminal activity, ignoring the complexity of a president’s decisions and the chilling effect that the threat of post-White House prosecution could have on the nation’s leaders. Such an amendment may create an environment where presidents face prosecution for acts that most might consider being in defense of the United States—including constitutionally grey military actions.

TERM LIMITS & COURT PACKING.

The next proposal pushed by the Democrat—who announced earlier this month that he would not seek reelection—is term limits on the tenure of justices on the U.S. Supreme Court. Under the Biden-Harris plan, every president would appoint one justice every two years who would serve 18-year terms on the bench. Democrats have made it a priority to either ‘pack’ the court with far-left, radical justices or dilute the court’s current conservative majority.

Democrats have called for impeaching several justices after this past court term, which saw several rulings that rolled back the administrative state and the curtailing of the Biden-Harris government’s lawfare campaign against Trump.

NEW LAWFARE LEVERAGE.

Finally, the 81-year-old Biden is calling for a binding code of conduct for Supreme Court justices. The Democrats have long sought a legal method to remove conservative and constitutionalist justices almost as soon as they’re appointed. Earlier this year, Democrats attempted to target Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito over frivolous ethics complaints to force their recusal from critical cases, including the presidential immunity case.

ITS ALL UNCONSTITUIONAL.

Ultimately, the radical Biden-Harris court plan will face heavy pushback in Congress. Even if the Democrats can gain some political traction in the legislative branch, the proposal is largely unconstitutional on its face. The U.S. Constitution grants Supreme Court justices lifetime appointments and would require either two-thirds of Congress or three-fourths of the states to change. As far as a binding code of ethics, this too would likely require constitutional action, as the imposition of such a code by the legislature and executive could be challenged as a breach of the separation of powers.

Law Enforcement Knew of Trump Gunman for 90 Mins Before Shooting.

Newly made public text messages and surveillance reports reveal major miscommunications ahead of former President Donald J. Trump‘s near-assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13. The messages indicate law enforcement knew of Thomas Matthew Crooks 90 minutes before he opened fire on the America First leader, injuring him and two other rallygoers and killing Corey Comperatore. This is significantly earlier than previously indicated, with Congress hearing the authorities were aware of Crooks for only 60 minutes during evidence-gathering hearings.

At 4:19 PM, a counter-sniper texted comrades to inform them his shift was ending, saying, “Guys, I am out. Be safe.” At 4:26 PM, he texted that he had identified a stringy-haired man outside the rally area, possibly with a rifle, as potentially threatening—but still left his post.

By 5:10 PM, the stringy-haired man, who turned out to be Crooks, had come closer to the rally site, and counter-snipers were taking pictures of him and sharing them in a group chat.

By 5:38 PM, counter-snipers saw Crooks using a rangefinder, but they did not monitor him consistently due to a lack of personnel. “I did see him with a rangefinder looking towards the stage. FYI. If you wanna notify [Secret Service] snipers to look out, I lost sight of him,” reads one remarkably nonchalant text.

Rallygoers spotted Crooks on the roof from which he opened fire on Trump as the former president took to the stage at 6:03 PM. However, he was still there at 6:11 PM, when he took the first of up to eight shots.

Almost 20 minutes after the assassination attempt, law enforcement still seemed clueless as to what had happened, with body-worn camera footage showing one on-the-ground officer saying, “So, on TV, they’re saying Trump was shot at, and he got hit, but I don’t believe that.”

Murdoch Paper Explains Similarities Between Kamala’s Campaign and Putin-Style Fakery.

Rupert Murdoch’s The Sunday Times, sister paper to The Times of London, has published an article denouncing the efforts of the Democratic Party machine to generate artificial enthusiasm for Vice President Kamala Harris‘s presidential bid as so inauthentic that Russia’s Vladimir Putin would be ashamed of it.

Columnist Camilla Long, despite being unfriendly to former President Donald J. Trump, bemoans the way “All [Harris’s] faults, flaws, back story are now also being hastily tidied away, as [Joe] Biden’s were; the snafus, word salads, ‘border tsar’ errors drowned out.”

“This is the first true AI election: synthetic candidates are magicked up almost out of nowhere, suddenly given huge projection, campaigns, ready-made armies of Twitter followers. They’re mere products,” Long argues.

“No one in the Democrats seems to care who is up there, what their politics are, who they represent, just as long as they’re reading the right things and repeating suitably vague catchphrases, all planned for them by faceless committees,” she adds.

STAGED. 

The British columnist takes particular issue with “one extraordinary clip” showing Harris taking a supposedly spontaneous call from Barack and Michelle Obama, with the Vice President feigning surprise as they offer their belated endorsement.

“To say this video is fiction is to completely understate the incredible lengths to which the Democrats are going to fabricate their candidate. Nothing in it is real: it’s an entirely staged call; Harris speaks staged words, wearing a microphone in preparation, but then acts if she had no idea the Obamas would be dialling in,” Long recounts.

“Do the Obamas even believe she is the best candidate? I doubt it—they took days to endorse her. Imagine if Putin did any of this,” she says.

A Biden family source, unhappy at the 81-year-old’s ouster as the Democratic nominee, revealed shortly before the Obamas finally endorsed Harris that former President Obama was “furious,” “shocked,” and “very upset” to see the Vice President falling into place as Biden’s replacement.

“Obama knows she’s just incompetent—the border czar who never visited the border, saying that all migrants should have health insurance. She cannot navigate the landmines that are ahead of her,” said the source.

Obama reportedly wanted to see Arizona Senator Mark Kelly “at the top of the ticket” after a more open renomination process.

‘Burn All That S**t Down’ – Kamala’s Top Designer Backed Arson, Looting During BLM Riots.

Ana Cherée Rice, design lead for the Harris for President campaign, called for arson and looting during the Black Lives Matter riots. Rice, who designed Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign logo, urged rioters to “burn all that s**t down” on X, formerly Twitter, on numerous occasions, up until at least May 2023.

The black designer also advocates pillaging commercial premises as a means of expressing racial grievance, responding to a 2021 post declaring “Rioting works” by adding, “and looting.” For the avoidance of doubt, she reiterated to her followers in March 2023 that “[I] never have—and will never have—a problem with looting.”

The Brooklyn-based Democrat’s attitude to the police is predictable, with her post history also including anti-law enforcement messages such as “F**k the NYPD.”

Rice’s close association with the Harris campaign—Rob Flaherty, Harris’s deputy campaign manager, singled her out for praise as recently as last week—will damage efforts to present the Vice President to moderates as a no-nonsense ex-prosecutor, unencumbered by woke baggage.

Rice may have taken her lead on the Black Lives Matter riots from Harris, who suggested in June 2020 that the riots were “not gonna let up—and they should not.” The then-senator also expressed support for the ‘defund the police’ movement.

Former President Donald J. Trump argues that, far from being a law and order candidate, Harris’s record as a progressive prosecutor makes her “the original Marxist district attorney.”

Muslim Cleric Bids for Scottish Island, Plans to Make It an ‘Islamic State.’

A Shia Muslim cleric is raising funds to purchase a private island in Scotland and establish a de facto Islamic state there. Sheikh Yasser al-Habib is a Kuwaiti who came to Britain after his native country imprisoned him for sectarianism, and later stripped him of his citizenship

Al-Habib seeks to purchase Torsa, or Thor’s Island, a picturesque tidal island in the Inner Hebrides, and establish a community for his Mahdi Servants Union, where Shia Islamists awaiting the coming of the Mahdi can gather.

Shia or Shiite Islam is the predominant branch of Islam in Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Iraq, and especially Iran. Its emphasis on the Mahdi, an ageless imam who has been supposedly been roaming the earth since the 800s and will return to public view to bring justice during the end times, distinguishes it from Sunni Islam.

“If you want to live free under the banner of the imam, in a special homeland where you feel everything in it reminds you of the awaited Mahdi, everything is the Shia homeland, support this project,” al-Habib declares in one fundraising broadcast on Fadak TV, a satellite channel he runs out of a converted church hall in Buckinghamshire, England.

He already runs “boot camps” for his followers, garbed in military-style uniforms, in the English county.

“They will have their own army, their own justice system, they will manage their own schools and hospitals and people from around the world will be able to migrate to this homeland,” warned Sarah Zaaimi, a spokeswoman for the Atlantic Council which has been investigating al-Habib and his organization, of their plans for Torsa.

ISLAMIST HAVEN. 

Until recently, Scotland had a Pakistani-heritage Muslim, Humza Yousaf, as its First Minister, notorious for decrying the influence white people have in the country.

Al-Habib is not the only Islamic extremist to use Britain as a bolthole, with Hamas leaders also taking advantage of its easily exploited asylum laws to establish themselves there.

The European Court of Human Rights protects such people from deportation, insisting the government cannot deport even foreign terror suspects to countries where they may face capital punishment or other firm penalties.

PA SWAT Team Says Secret Service Never Communicated Before Trump Rally Shooting.

Local police officers assigned to protect Donald Trump during an assassination attempt on July 13 in Butler County, Pennsylvania, have criticized the communication failure with the Secret Service. Jason Woods, the lead sharpshooter of the SWAT team in nearby Beaver County, disclosed to ABC News that expected briefings with Secret Service agents did not occur before the shooting began.

Woods highlighted that the absence of initial planning and communications possibly led to mistakes, resulting in the 20-year-old gunman killing one spectator, injuring two others, and grazing Trump’s ear. “We had no communication,” Woods told ABC News, noting that the first interaction with the Secret Service came after the incident.

Reports indicate that Trump’s Secret Service detail and top advisers were not informed that local police assigned to the fairgrounds’ outer perimeter had spotted a suspicious individual before the shooting.

Trump told Fox News that no alerts were given at the time, which he deemed a mistake. He noted the lag in communication could have prompted a delay or an increased state of readiness. The SWAT team recognized Thomas Matthew Crooks, the gunman, loitering near structures 20 to 25 minutes before the attack and transmitted his photograph to a command center manned by state troopers and Secret Service agents.

The incident has led to three ongoing investigations into communication breakdowns between law enforcement agencies. Following the resignation of Secret Service Director Kimberley Cheatle on July 23, the FBI confirmed Trump had been struck by a bullet, whether whole or fragmented.

Despite the incident, Trump professed plans to return to Butler for a rally, disregarding the Secret Service’s advice against outdoor events. He has also defended the Secret Service’s competence amid critiques about the impacts of diversity programs on the agency’s effectiveness.

The Secret Service has not directly addressed Woods’ comments. However, agency spokesman Anthony Guglielmi stated that the Secret Service is committed to understanding the events to prevent future occurrences.
