U.S. Military Strikes 'Narco-Terrorists,' Not Wall Street Terrorists
The Hill reports on Hegseth's announcement that the U.S. military struck an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean, killing three 'narco-terrorists.' While such actions against illicit drug trade are presented as a clear win, one might question the selective application of the 'terrorist' label. The U.S. military regularly conducts operations far from its borders, often with little scrutiny compared
to domestic issues. For instance, the financial architects who crashed the global economy, directly causing widespread suffering and destabilization, rarely face a single drone strike, let alone a headline calling them 'terrorists.' This selective targeting and framing by mainstream media is a classic distraction. We’re led to believe that three deceased 'narco-terrorists' in the Caribbean
constitute a paramount security threat justifying military force, while the systemic plunder of economic systems, the destruction of social safety nets, or the massive lobbying efforts that cripple democratic processes are just 'business as usual.' Funny how the definition of 'terrorist' shrinks to fit the narrative, especially when it involves maintaining certain power structures.
