    It's now clear why the top JAG officer in US Southcom leaked his opposition to Trump's extrajudicial murder campaign in the Caribbean, the Southcom commander announced his early retirement, and Hegseth booted the press from the Pentagon just days after ordering this war crime


    DD Geopolitics,

    🇺🇸 Secretary of War: "Kill them all."

    A new Washington Post investigation reports that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth personally gave the order to “kill them all” during the first U.S. boat strike in the Caribbean on Sept. 2.

    According to multiple officials with direct knowledge, U.S. surveillance confirmed a suspected drug-running vessel, and Hegseth’s spoken directive was to leave no survivors. After the first missile strike, two men were seen alive in the water; the Special Operations commander overseeing the mission ordered a second strike to finish them, reportedly to comply with Hegseth’s order.

    SEAL Team 6 carried out the operation. Law-of-war experts and some U.S. officials say the campaign is illegal as the suspected traffickers posed no imminent threat, and the U.S. is not in a lawful armed conflict with them. One former military lawyer called the killings “murder,” adding that an order to kill incapacitated survivors would constitute a war crime.

    The Pentagon denies the report, calling the narrative “completely false,” but internal briefings to Congress have frustrated lawmakers, who say the explanations don’t add up and key footage has not been provided. Since that first attack, at least 22 more boats have been hit and more than 80 people killed, with little public evidence that all were combatants.

    A direct order to kill everyone onboard, survivors included, and a growing debate inside the U.S. government about legality.

    ...except Maduro offered them the oil, gold etc..etc...in exchange for not invading. They want to cripple Venezuela, to cripple Cuba, it's major ally. This is something Rubio would like as he is the son of Cuban immigrants.

    "The Offer: Maduro's officials held secret talks with U.S. officials and offered to open all Venezuelan oil and gold projects to U.S. companies and give them preferential contracts. They also proposed redirecting oil exports from China to the U.S. and reducing energy and mining deals with companies from countries like Iran and Russia."

    Iran Enters U.S-Venezuela War | Tehran SLAMS U.S. Shutdown of Venezuelan Airspace, WARNS Trump


    Iran has strongly condemned the U.S. after President Trump ordered Venezuelan airspace fully closed, calling the move illegal and “dangerous” for global aviation. Spokesman Esmaeil Bahgaei warned Washington against reckless unilateral actions, stressing that such directives threaten flight safety worldwide.

    Venezuela dismissed the closure as politically motivated, revoking airline licenses and placing armed forces on high alert with new military drills. With Russian anti-air defenses deployed and U.S. threats against land routes, regional tensions risk escalating into a broader Caribbean confrontation...

    "No Assault Has Ever Been Taken Out on the United States Like This"

    https://substack.com/home/post/p-180622954

    (Video at the link, hyperlinks in the article not embedded here)

    "Anyone arguing on behalf of the Chavista Regime and calling the US military presence around Venezuela a “pretext for imperialist designs on their resources” is shilling for the Cartel, whether or not they’re on their payroll and regardless of whether they even understand what they’re saying. This includes all the anti-ICE activists, be they on the streets or inside the governors’ mansions.

    Most can be forgiven, because few know what is actually at play in Venezuela. A full-throated explanation of what’s happening has been lacking from the Trump administration, fueling Marxist narratives.

    The facts remain classified, because the stakes are so high. This is the most consequential war in our lifetimes and the outcome determines whether or not there is any possibility for human agency and freedom in our future.

    As Patrick Byrne says here:

    “No assault has ever been taken out on the United States like this...For the cheap seats, they’re saying it’s about ‘fentanyl’, I guess. I hope they come out and lay the real case.

    “It’s a four-layered assault. A huge espionage assault. There’s 20 people within our government who are assets of Cuba-Venezuela. Cuba-Venezuela are a tag team. So, they’ve been the front line that we’ve been facing. They’ve got 20 people, senior in government.

    “Secondly, they came at us over 20 years with these election systems, just changing our politics. Turns out, we’re not really electing a whole bunch of the crazies that we think we’re electing. Same with Europe. The people who want Open Borders and stuff, they’re not really winning [elections].”

    Electronic voting machines are the most powerful weapon in a decades’-long silent war that has destroyed major economies with immiserating decarbonization; that has upended developed nations with weaponized migration; that has harmed Western children with Woke education.

    As Patrick Byrne puts it, they have “Changed the arc of Western civilization and slammed into a brick wall”.

    For the past 20 years, this worldwide election theft operation has stolen the elections of 72 countries, down to the school board level. High-functioning societies have been forced to commit suicide with bogus “Green” policies. Nearly one hundred million “migrants” have been trafficked into Europe and into the United States, as a money-laundering mechanism to steal taxpayer money, to eliminate the Middle Class and to degrade Western civilization.

    The destabilization of the world is the consequence of elections that’ve been stolen, installing the malicious actors who’ve implemented these policies.

    Although it’s true that this vote theft operation has been implemented by IT technicians from the Venezuelan regime, together with their Cuban, Serbian, Iranian and Chinese allies, they’re actually working at the behest of the “Rogue, Globalist CIA”, according to Patrick Byrne, which is to say Them; the Powers that Be; those who control the central banks and the right to issue currency.

    The surge of US forces in the Caribbean is the opposite of another Neocon “Forever War”. US troops are in Venezuela as leverage against the tens of millions of military-aged men, of which ~150,000 are trained Hamas, Hezbollah, and Latin American terrorists who entered the United States under Joe Biden, including 20,000 Tren de Aragua psychopaths who are organized into 10-man cells and scattered in cities throughout the country. If these terrorists try anything on US Soil, there will be reprisals in Venezuela and/or in their home countries.

    The remote Amazonian jungle of Southern Venezuela now contains several terrorist training camps with armaments from Iran and Russia. These elements have been infiltrating neighboring countries and severely eroding the safety of the citizens there.

    The Venezuelan regime has stolen $1.7 trillion in oil revenue, which is ten times the CIA’s annual budget. The perniciousness of the Cartel’s operations is so harrowing that the technicians involved in their worldwide election theft operation have flipped to the side of the US, also thanks to the work of Gary Berntsen, who had to be independently financed by Patrick Byrne, because our government was so corrupted by the Cartel.

    Patrick Byrne vows to Alex Jones that this rogue faction needs to be taught a lesson for conducting this kind of an operation against the United States and that there must be consequences “That ring for 250 years”.

    As Alex says, “It’s simple: The CIA, Wall Street, the Globalists are against regime change. So people ask, why I’m for it: because of that. It’s very simple.”

    Patrick is optimistic about the future of Venezuela, once the Cartel has been routed, because no Marshall Plan is necessary. The wealth amassed by the Cartel from their theft from the Venezuelan people can be repurposed to transform the country into “A Singapore, over 10 years.”

    With the new blockchain and digital governance technologies, the corruption can be eliminated and the wealth can be redistributed to the Venezuelan people. He says half of the money that comes into the government from oil and mineral concessions can go right into the peoples’ bank accounts every month, just as is now being done in Alaska."

    That could be the straw that broke the Camel back (or in this case the Adler) in his from self named backyard...

    The world is fed up with the U.S and in the case from Latino America ,from the beginning...

    That this country is accuse now of war crimes is nothing new (just remember why Edward Snowden live in Russia now...that video from soldiers killing civilians and reporters from a helicopter...)

    And Col.Macgregor know very well what was happen in Irak... but he has learned.

    Latino America was always a witches brew thank to their permanent intrusion in all kind of affairs... none pause...military coup,bribery,extortion, pushing unrest,and on and on...

    Divide and conquer,with us or else. Well that result from that "politics"is a divide Continent: by supporting authoritarian regimes, a Zionist President in Argentina, eternal war in narco Colombia, but made the life hell in Brazil, because dare to be in the BRICS...an eternal embargo with Cuba,salivate upon Ecuador, Bolivia,and what not...

    BUT if the U.S. dare to invade Venezuela, killing people and the rest,those actions will achieve what none system/politics EVER could achieve: trough disgust the union of ALL countries...against the yanki/gringo predator!

    If the U.S. would have look in the positive "mirror", that could be like what Vladimir Putin did with Russia and neighbors,(not the Ukros), but the others nations that were part of the USSR, plus new friends like
    all the rest from BRICS , all based in positive commerce for everybody in their currencies...

    But if U.S. loose Latino America too (Europe is death), what they gonna do?, Nuke them?

    I don't want Trump to get the world into another war, but along with peace, I support honesty, especially in reporting. So when I see flagrant lying, I feel a need to call it out. There is so much proven dishonesty in this video that I'm surprised it is being posted. We know that the Washington Post piece was a dishonest hit job from start to finish. I am searching for the right word for these two characters with malicious intent to harm the public with untruthful information. I suppose Slanderers, Demagogues, Hatemongers, but I think I will go with sanctimonious vipers, more fitting and more honest.

    That is the problem. It's never a good idea to place anyone on a pedestal above the law, and it's even worse to cover up incriminating evidence.
    We're soon headed into a terribly disastrous world conflict (or the worsening of the already existing world conflicts) if this is allowed to go on unchecked.

    So, here's a serious question. Has there been any evidence produced by the Trump team that Venezuela is smuggling drugs into USA?
    If not, then the Trump supporters really need to open their eyes, and request Trump to stop this madness. Nobody needs to start a war on Venezuela.
    Personally, I have a growing sense of dread of what's about to happen... Not feeling safe in Canada either, too close to USA.

    Trump announces ‘land strikes’ against drug cartels (VIDEO)
    The US military has conducted a number of deadly attacks on boats it claims were linked to Venezuelan-led narcotics smuggling


    The US will soon start bombing alleged drug cartel targets on land, US President Donald Trump told reporters in a cabinet meeting on Tuesday.

    The announcement comes amid a massive US military buildup in the Caribbean, which Washington says is aimed at curbing Venezuelan-led drug trafficking. Caracas has denied the accusations, arguing that the US is using them as a pretext to justify invading the resource-rich South American nation.

    In recent months, Washington has killed more than 80 people in strikes on boats in the Caribbean and Pacific that it claims were smuggling narcotics.

    “And we’re going to start doing those strikes on land, too. You know, the land is much easier,” Trump said at the White House. “We’re going to start that very soon.”

    He did not expand on where or when the strikes would take place.

    Asked to elaborate, Trump added that Washington could expand the strikes to any country allegedly smuggling drugs into the US, specifically mentioning Colombia.

    “Anybody that’s doing that and selling it into our country is subject to attack,” he said.

    The US military deployment in the Caribbean waters off Venezuela, which has now reportedly reached upwards of 16,000 personnel, has been accompanied by increasing political pressure on Caracas.

    In recent months, Washington has offered a $50 million bounty for information leading to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, and greenlit clandestine CIA operations in his country.

    Maduro has denied the drug trafficking allegations, accusing the US of “fabricating a new war” and regime-change operation aimed at seizing Venezuela’s vast resource reserves.

    I don't want Trump to get the world into another war, but along with peace, I support honesty, especially in reporting. So when I see flagrant lying, I feel a need to call it out. There is so much proven dishonesty in this video that I'm surprised it is being posted. We know that the Washington Post piece was a dishonest hit job from start to finish. I am searching for the right word for these two characters with malicious intent to harm the public with untruthful information. I suppose Slanderers, Demagogues, Hatemongers, but I think I will go with sanctimonious vipers, more fitting and more honest.
    What exactly did they say in that video that is untrue? Honest question. Are you talking about George Galloway and Doug McGregor?

    Forgive me if I step in here just for a moment. (I've been steering clear of this discussion, maybe for obvious reasons, but I felt I had to make a couple of points.)
    • I watched the short video (just 2 minutes). I was intrigued to know what the issue was about.

    • Macgregor's remarks reminded me strongly of the plot, with its final courtroom climax (one of the great scenes of movie history!), of the classic Jack Nicholson/Tom Cruise movie A Few Good Men. (The briefest summary: two lowly marines are put on trial for executing an illegal order passed down the line from their senior commanding officer.)

    • And I have a Socratean question, for anyone to answer if they would like to. If the killing of the two survivors in the water, clinging to the wreckage of their boat, is deemed to be acceptable "in the fog of war", would it have been equally acceptable if they'd had their hands free enough to be holding white flags? (I'm rather surprised no-one in the White House press corps has asked that question.)
