There is a growing undertow that needs attention. It is the story of our time that few are paying attention to. The question at the heart of it: who is American and who gets to define it?

On September 2nd the US military struck an alleged “narco-boat” multiple times killing the 2 survivors of the initial strike. A few weeks later the Navy struck another boat but the 2 survivors were rescued and returned to home countries.

Why the different approaches?

Here’s a question I’d really like some journalist to ask:

“If the “double-tap” strike was justified and legal during the 9/2 operation. What changed which resulted in subsequent survivors like during the 10/16 strike being captured and even returned to their home country?”

Per DEA how fentanyl, which the Trump Administration cites for its Caribbean drug boat targeting, flows into the U.S.

After the White House framed the prosecution of Fmr.Honduras President Juan Orlando Hernandez as “political” I went to read original indictment. Worth a read

One thing I learned in this whole Venezuela “double-tap” attack is that this operation isn’t being commanded by the US Southern Command. But by the Joint Special Operations Command. There is a difference. I wonder if Congress will request Adm. Alvin Hosley who is resigning SoCom lead to testify?
