Day 1 of Trump's Presidency... and all the days that follow

The United States government has murdered more than 80 people in its recent military campaign against those it claims were transporting drugs. These killings are not battlefield engagements. These strikes are preemptive executions carried out without evidence, without due process, and without any meaningful threat to the American people.
In one of these attacks, multiple credible sources report the U.S. military killed shipwrecked survivors who had already been rendered defenseless. After the initial missile strike destroyed their boat, wounded men were seen clinging to debris. A second strike was launched, killing the survivors.
There is no moral framework under which this is anything but murder.
International humanitarian law is explicit: it is illegal to attack noncombatants, the wounded, the shipwrecked, or anyone rendered defenseless who poses no threat. The U.S. has codified these same rules in its own military law. Killing survivors has no justification under "self-defense."
Importantly, this is not a battlefield. A small vessel allegedly carrying drugs is not a military threat to a U.S. carrier strike group. It is a group of drug suspects, nothing more.
According to extensive reporting by multiple National outlets, the follow-up strike was carried out after a verbal directive "to kill everybody," reported to have come from "Secretary of War," Pete Hegseth.
The White House at the time defended the alleged directive as being well within their "authority and the law."
However, after public outrage, the administration attempted to walk this back, claiming Hegseth never gave such an order- despite having previously defended it.
Hegseth himself has tried to downplay the killings, saying he "did not see" the survivors when calling for a lethal follow-up strike, while Pentagon spokespeople debate technical definitions of "double-tap."
None of this changes the facts: Killing wounded shipwrecked survivors who are not an active threat is murder.
When lawmakers raised concerns about the legality of these strikes, President Trump responded not with transparency or accountability, but with threats. He suggested that the death penalty would be appropriate for members of Congress who oppose such illegal orders. He circulated rhetoric implying that Democratic lawmakers opposing unlawful military actions should be hanged to death. Meanwhile, Hegseth’s own response to the killings was not remorse but memes a mockery.
This shows that, under the "Department of War," we have a military culture that enjoys killing and rejects accountability.
The administration claims these killings save lives by stopping cocaine. Yet during this time, President Trump pardoned a man convicted of smuggling 400 tons of cocaine into the United States.
This is not about drugs.
This is about unchecked governmental power.
By inventing the term "narco-terrorists," the White House claims the right to kill anyone they accuse without trial, without evidence, and without accountability.
Libertarians want to scale back the state, not grant it the right to murder.
The Libertarian stance is clear: End the war on drugs, don’t escalate it into a literal war.
The United States cannot bomb its way out of a drug problem. It cannot murder its way to sobriety. And no government has the moral authority to execute people it merely accuses of wrongdoing.
Military strikes against civilians were wrong under Bush, wrong under Obama, wrong under Biden, and wrong under Trump – no matter the President, no matter the Party, the military is there for our defense, not to act as an aggressively murderous world police force.
The answer to illegal orders is to obey the law, not the orders.
The solution to drugs is freedom, not war.

Remember, Charlie Kirk was opposed to starting foreign wars... Which is what these USA attacks on Venezuelan boats are about.

Trump has openly declared that he wants President Maduro removed from power, and Trump wants to install Machado who by sheer coincidence has a pro-Israeli agenda.

She's also by "sheer coincidence" a fan of democracy, free markets, personal liberties, is openly anti-communist, and opposes narco states run by authoritarian strongmen. But that probably has nothing to do with it.

[Rizotto]

Let Venezuelans sort out who they want for president. Nothing good has ever come form USA regime change wars. Look at the horrors in Iraq, Syria, Lybia, Iran, following USA 'interventions'.
The dangerous presumptions of the Trump regime, that they can label anyone they wish as 'terrorist', and that gives them the right to eliminate them, without providing any evidence of wrongdoing. This is dangerous to americans, and dangerous to the world.

Many of the same people screaming for Hegseth to be tried for war crimes are the same people who celebrated Charlie Kirks assassination, are still calling for Trump to be assassinated, and also are fine with murderers and rapists being released from jail with no bail so they can continue on with their crime spree. They also don't give a damn about mutilating the genitals of children or tearing them piece by piece out of a pregnant mothers womb at 9 months. These people are mentally disturbed, deranged, demonic, and are truly a threat to the future of humanity.

Now they are siding with the drug trafficking terrorists, which is no surprise....

dying she had no idea what she was getting she thought she was getting heroin and they sold her 100% fentanyl and she died instantly they said enough to kill six of her if we don't think that it's going to continue to grow uh

......I mean it's a direct attack on the United States the cartels have actually put a bullseye on us and they're attacking our youth it's the number one killer of 14 to 45 year olds there's not anything even close to it you're not going to stop kids from experimenting so a mistake you should learn from not die from and they're dying from it and again it's it's so broad again it's not just those suffering from addiction it's those who recreationally do things it's those that do it for one time one bad decision one weak moment one impulsive decision and they can lose their life over it so we have to talk about it the last thing we want is another family to live their lives the way we do now..... she would say I'm so sorry

the comments underneath the video on YT site are heartbreaking and educational....

this is just one of them...

My son TJ passed away 6 years ago from a fentanyl overdose. I found him in the bathroom with the shower running. Trevor was slumped over the toilet, white as a ghost, ice cold, lips blue. My son was gone. Trevor was a straight A student and bass player in his band. So smart , full of life. Trevor was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 16. 8 rehabs in 10 years. RIP Trevor ❤.

*********************************************

I have a friend who 30 years ago was saying that heroin was being used as a weapon to attack the fabric of society - targeting young people ..... and fentanyl is said to be much worse than heroin......

We also have the 'little' matter of the Deep State Globalist's World wide election rigging via Voting Machines like Smartmatic? with Venezuela a potential hub for all that - and as many American Politicians must have benefitted from that election rigging - they are hardly likely to bite the hand that metaphorically fed them....

The Anti Trump PSYOP is ramping up....

[ThePythonicCow]

Anyone above who is concluding that any of the parties, either individuals or organizations, are "good", "mixed bag" or "evil", and that certain their acts are so monstrous that we have a moral imperative to act with the initiative and decisiveness that we would respond if such acts were being conducted in our immediate presence and considerable awareness (e.g. -- shooting to kill or immediately disable someone who is butchering and rapidly killing right before us without cause ourselves or some good member of our family) is caught up in the drama being played before us, which drama often works to destroy our selves, our families, our communities, and our civilization.

Tend to what we know, first hand, and perhaps follow the deliberately chaotic drama on the Big State, that we might individually guide our lives as best we can while we each navigate this giant sh*t storm.

But quit treating others here or in your personal lives like they were complicit in some evil threat in the drama "on the stage" and deserve our high praise or deep scorn if they don't react (in your view) the "proper" way to that threat.

We don't know what the heaven or hell is really going on behind the drama. Nor do you, who castigate us for not responding "properly" to what you think is going on, know what the heaven or hell is going on. Work with us to make sense of things, rather than attacking us for being complicit with "crimes against humanity" (according to one thread in that massive, in time, scope and intent) sh*t storm. You who shout at us Do Not Know, any more than we know. Chill out. Help us row, or at least quit accusing us, with incessant angry shouts, that we are complicit with one of the evil sounding interpretations of one of the tangled threads in your particular view of what the heck is going on. You Do Not Know. Stirring up fear and anger on the basis of one of the threads in this high drama more often than not contributes more to the agenda of the evil doers. Chill out.

For that matter, I Do Not Know Either..

We gather here, on this forum, to work with each other, with respect, kindness, and maybe a bit of humor, to assist each other, and to "try to figure sh*t out". Sometimes we're right in what we figure is really going on "out there", behind the "curtain". Sometimes we're wrong. We might miss a "big issue." We might get distracted by minor stuff.

We pretty much all agree that some portion of the "big drama" we see "in the large" is fake and gay ... whether that's 9% or 99.9% that's fake is not known and generally agreed to.

We also pretty much agree that some serious evil, largely hidden from us, works behind some, perhaps much of, the powerful actors and major events we see "out there" in our civilization.

However, chronically angry and abrasive posting harms the discussion, harms the forum, and harms the sharing of personal support and shared considerations.

[Rizotto]

Personally I don't approve of any extra-judicial assassinations, or attempted assassinations, whether it be JFK, Yitzhak Rabin, Charlie Kirk, Saddam Hussein, Donald Trump, Muammar Gaddafi, Venezuelans in boats, Hassan Nasrallah, Salvator Allende, RFK, Maduro, Qasem Soleimani, Michael Hastings, etc. etc. etc.

Assassinations never solve anything, they only make the world worse.

Has anybody here actually seen Trump produce any proof of Venezuela drug smuggling?
If so, please kindly post such proof in this thread, which is about Trump's presidency.

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.

READ MORE: US legislators demand probe into Trump’s ‘drug boat’ strikes
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.

Regarding Venezuela, as best as I can figure:

• Venezuela has gone from being one of the more prosperous American nations, to being a gang infested globalist outpost which has been:
• Sending its election corruption mechanisms and machines to some 70 nations, including the U.S. ("2020 - it's not over yet"),
• Dumping its prisons onto U.S. streets, as part of the mass immigration of into the U.S. of immigrants hostile to American culture,
• Providing a major outpost in the Americas of globalist banking money laundering, and
• Providing a major revenue source to the globalist banking system with its petro exports.

This is a world war between the globalists who would enslave and harvest humanity, and the various nations and cultures that promote the well being of their people.

We, the humans on this wonderful planet, must win this war. Venezuela is one front on this war.

Those who rage against Trump and the portions of his administration who conduct this effort against Venezuela's current regime often do so because just going after alleged drug trafficking intermediaries is not, in their view, an acceptable reason to sink ships at sea, summarily killing those onboard. Those same people, who would not hesitate to call Trump a liar at other times, will this time accept at face value a primary public reason given for conducting this operation, and cast judgement based on that.

Whether or not the Venezuelan operation is more than justified, or yet more evil, is simply not something we have a snow ball's changed in Hades of knowing with certainty. But if things are as I currently understand them, this operation must be pursued to its successful conclusion, and such rage against it as I see in some posts above serves a globalists agenda to divide and defeat any opposition to their evil plans.

If by some bizarre turn of events, success in this global war were to hinge on whether or not I was killed, then let me know where to send my exact location, so that whatever bullet, bomb or drone is tasked with killing me can be forthwith guided to its target.

Back to a more likely turn of events, may Venezuela return to being a prosperous and honorable nation in the Americas, after their globalist imposed tyrants are deposed somehow.

I am not suited, neither sufficiently wise nor reliably informed, to sit in final judgement on this conflict, and I may well in hind sight conclude that I was woefully ignorant ... such would not be the first time. But that's how it looks from where I sit, for now at least.

Yes, there is a long history of the globalists using the U.S. as it "hired gun", its enforcer, across the world, costing millions their lives. But there is also a long history of the globalists using of the globalists using drugs, political and monetary fraud, human trafficking, and mass immigration of hostile aliens to destroy nations that would oppose their tyranny.

As has been observed before: "The first casualty of war is the truth."

Regarding Venezuela, as best as I can figure:

• ...

To add to this list, Venezuela has been instrumental in bribing major U.S. politicians, to encourage their treason.

Quoting from a tweet by @JoshHall2024 on X:

BREAKING: Venezuela’s former intelligence leader Hugo Carvajal has CONFIRMED that Democrat Senator Adam Schiff and Democrat Congressman Eric Swalwell, both of California, are two of the top names on the VENEZUELA LIST of US politicians that are receiving MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN KICKBACKS AND LAVISH GIFTS from the Maduro regime and Venezuelan drug trafficking organizations in exchange for using their official power as a means of undermining the Trump administration’s ongoing war against these narcoterrorists.

They literally have the blood of hundreds of thousands of Americans who are dying from drug overdoses every year as a result of the deadly drugs that these criminal organizations are trafficking into our country on their hands.

This is textbook TREASON and AIDING AND ABETTING THE ENEMY during a time of war while assisting in the deaths of our own American citizens. All for personal wealth and financial gain. Schiff has reportedly had a multi-million dollar vacation home purchased for him by the Venezuelan government on the California coast while Swalwell has received luxurious items including gold bars and diamond jewelry in exchange for his treason.

The dollar value that these two Benedict Arnolds have racked up is well in to the MILLIONS, according to Carvajal. He is in federal prison now in the US and EXPOSING EVERYTHING. This isn’t about a war crime… This is a distraction and a “cover your ass” operation by the Deep State thugs who have been taking bribes from the enemy at our country’s expense.

Pam Blondi: Get off of Fox News and start issuing indictments or step aside for an Attorney General who will… LOCK THEM ALL UP!

Sounds like emotional manipulation . 95% of the drugs in USA comes from Mexico,including fentanyl which is the biggest troublemaker. You can legally order ingredients from China , mix them together and sell the fentanyl for 10x or 20x that u payd for.
How many drugs come from Venezuela to USA ? Almost nothing . They do drug traffic into neighbouring countries but mainly coke and no fentanyl.
USA killing drug traffickers close to Venezuela wont affect USA. Fentanyl will still come in from China->Mexico so what is the point ?
Maybe zio-Don and his jew maffia buddies want to take over the drug market in south america or take out their competition ? Just like they did with energy market of EU ...
I would believe that version more than that Zio-don and his hebrew mafia are fighting globalists in Venezuela ...

09:11 Europe's Censorship Regime vs. American Freedom
10:56 From Endless Wars to Economic Partnerships

Early Friday morning, the White House quietly released a 33-page national security document that redefines America's role on the global stage. This document marks a dramatic shift from 34 years of globalist foreign policy, dating back to the Soviet Union's collapse.

The new strategy focuses on ending overseas intervention unless directly tied to U.S interests, with a prioritization of American economic superiority and reindustrialization. It calls for strict immigration controls, a robust military, and a focus on domestic infrastructure against natural disasters.

The strategy has prompted substantial backlash from global leaders and media alike, who view it as a threat to the established order. Barbara Boyd explains the significance of this revolutionary document, its potential implications for global politics, and the ensuing resistance from both domestic and international entities. Tune in to understand Trump's vision for America's future and why it's causing such a stir.

The USA has a long history of regime change wars on the pretext that this or that country political system is bad, their banking is bad, or their people are bad.
The one thing these countries have in common is that they have rich resources which the USA wants to take control of.
The mass immigration problem in USA was because of Biden's OPEN BORDERS, not because of Venezuela. These illegal migrants originated from many other countries, not necessarily Venezuela. It's good of Trump to have closed the borders, and deported the illegal migrants. He should focus on finishing up that job.

Trump's promises of no more foreign wars and the release of the Epstein files is what garnered him the most support for the 2024 win.
Breaking those promises will be Trump's downfall. Mark my word.
Problem is for the rest of the world that Trump's instigating a new war will only prolong major world chaos, misery and destruction. For the USA too.

Majority of Americans say Trump needs to show evidence that boats US is blowing up are really carrying drugs
A majority of Americans oppose war with Venezuela and believe President Donald Trump needs to provide evidence to justify military action against the nation

A new CBS/YouGov poll has found that a majority of Americans do not believe President Donald Trump has done enough to explain any possible U.S. military action against Venezuela.

According to the poll, 76 percent of respondents said they felt the president had not adequately justified the U.S.'s aggression toward the South American nation, which has thus far taken the form of rhetoric and strikes against alleged “drug boats.”

The poll also found that the majority of Americans — including Republicans — feel that Trump needs to provide an explanation for his military decisions. Virtually all — 97 percent — of Democrats said he had to explain, and 64 percent of Republicans agreed. Independents fell in the middle, with 86 percent saying the president should explain his thinking.

Trump has been using the U.S. military to destroy boats near Venezuela that his administration claims are operating as drug trafficking vessels. Those military strikes are killing the people onboard without providing due process or any attempt at more traditional interdiction, like the U.S. Coast Guard might undertake in domestic waters.

Americans are split on their views of the boat attacks. Some 53 percent of the respondents approve of the attacks, while 47 percent disapprove. But a majority — 75 percent — believe the U.S. should show evidence that the boats are carrying drugs before destroying them.

Sounds like emotional manipulation . 95% of the drugs in USA comes from Mexico ...

I would believe that version more than that Zio-don and his hebrew mafia are fighting globalists in Venezuela ...

I could post what I think of your opening shot, regarding "emotional manipulation", but then I would risk doing what I was accusing you of doing, which is accusing one's adversary in a debate of what one is doing one's self. So best I not go there

So on to your next response. I think it would be more accurate to state that "95% of the drugs in USA comes from through Mexico" ... via gangs subordinate to the likes of drug running and profiting portions of Mr Global's power centers in the CIA, MI6, the City of London, and China. My evidence for my allegation can be found in this fine interview of Patrick Byrne by John Michael Chambers, in which Byrne details how this global black market works:

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Ve9hwqpO98s

To be straight forward about this, I figure that Patrick Byrne knows more about these matters than do either of us.

I also trust that Hugo Armando Carvajal Barrios, a former Venezuelan military intelligence chief known as "El Pollo" Carvajal, knows more about these affairs than do either of us. He also reports that Venezuelan Nicolás Maduro's government [operates] as a "narco-terrorist organisation":

• Former Venezuelan spy chief says Maduro runs 'narco-terrorist organisation' (Yahoo!News)

The USA has a long history of regime change wars on the pretext that this or that country political system is bad, their banking is bad, or their people are bad.

Yes, the USA does indeed have such a long history of such evil interference in other nations, for such dubious reasons. The USA has been Mr Global's bully boy ... I quite agree that this part of America's history is disgraceful.

My "big picture" view is that Mr Global is at war with patriots in any nation who would resist Global enslavement.

I also figure that Mr Global has and continues to use every means at their disposal to perpetuate their drive for total global control of humanity.

That means, by straight forward logic, that if any national patriots use practically any means at all to fight back, they risk using some of the same means as, or that at the least can be portrayed to be the same as, what the Globalists use. Avoiding all means that are, or look like, means that the Globalists use would lead to Globalist victory and enslavement of humanity.

If the national patriots, fighting for the rights of their people to live and run their nation for the well being of the people of those nations, against the globalist bastards, are going to win this global war, that will necessarily have some public lies and private ruthlessness. As has often been observed, the first casualty of war is truth. Win we must, and hopefully we will win both decisively and as honorably as that allows.

For the globalists to protest that something the national patriots are doing is "bad" is an outstanding example of the pot calling the kettle black. Such rhetorical dirty tricks deserve no respect.
