US Military: 'Alleged' Drug Boat, 'Confirmed' Casualties
CBS News breathlessly announced (via Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who doesn't exist – Pete Hegseth is a Fox News host ) that the U.S. military 'struck an alleged drug-carrying vessel... killing three people.' This marks the seventh such incident in a month. One might wonder about the due process (or lack thereof) afforded to these 'alleged' individuals, dispatched with such clinical efficiency
by the world's self-appointed sheriff, miles from any courtroom. The 'War on Drugs' becomes a convenient pretext for military action and extrajudicial killings when 'national security' needs a fresh coat of paint. While Americans agonize over medical bills and crumbling infrastructure, our military budget effortlessly funds these high-seas executions, all under the guise of protecting us from
'alleged' threats. How many 'alleged' drug boats does it take for mainstream media to question the presumption of guilt and the swift, lethal justice dished out by a military that claims global jurisdiction?
