First, a couple of questions about the illegal strikes that US military personnel are conducting on Caribbean boats. Then I’m going to leap into a conspiracy theory that QAnon would be proud of, er, if they were progressives. It is speculation, however, there is nobody who can say that this theory is not LYIN’ DON’s plan.
The questions.
Secretary of Defense Hegseth allegedly ordered that everyone on board be killed. Hegseth claims that “Every trafficker we kill is affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization.”
The question is Who designated these people as a terrorist organization? Nobody knows. Democratic Rep. Madeleine Dean, House Foreign Affairs Committee member said she viewed in a sensitive compartmented information facility “some documents around the sinking of these vessels and the murder of the people on those boats. Nowhere in there was there evidence of what was going on.”
If the Caribbean strikes were about stemming the flow of drugs, Why wouldn’t we have rescued the two wounded people on the battered boat and question them to trace back the supply chain?
The reason is that the attacks have nothing to do with drug interdiction.
The theory.
The Caribbean strikes started like all of LYIN’ DON’s current initiatives: divert attention from the Epstein files. But Hegseth pushed it too far. Admiral Alvin Holsey, who oversaw US Southern Command, tried to stop these criminal acts, but failed. So he quit.
Everyone who participated in these strikes, from the grunt who pulled the trigger to the highest level civilian executive who ordered it, is a criminal. They have broken American, international, and Uniform Code of Military Justice law. And THEY KNOW IT.
This chain of command knows that a Democratic administration in 2029 is liable to prosecute everyone involved and throw them in jail. [I don’t know about you, but no Democratic candidate gets my vote in the primary unless I hear a pledge to hound all of Trump’s gangsters to the ends of the earth and bring them to justice.] Given that knowledge, the people in that whole chain of command have a vested interest in keeping Democrats out of office. They will not hesitate to move from killing Venezuelan civilians to intimidating and even killing American civilians if it will keep themselves out of jail.
This criminal conspiracy needs to have disinfecting light shined on it from every angle and up its ass. Our democracy depends on it.
