US Military: 'Drug Boats' Now Include Caribbean Fishing Vessels
The US military announced its 20th lethal strike on an 'alleged drug boat' in the Caribbean, killing four 'narco-terrorists.' It's a convenient framing that justifies lethal force without pesky courtroom procedures. For decades, the US has rebranded its interventions, from 'war on communism' to 'war on terror' and 'war on drugs,' always with a convenient bogeyman. Notice how 'alleged' becomes
'killed.' No trials, no evidence presented, just a body count endorsed by 'The Hill.' One might wonder if the definition of 'terrorist' flexible enough to include anyone caught in the crosshairs of an undeclared Caribbean 'drug war.' Since when does the US military get to act as judge, jury, and executioner in international waters without a peep from the mainstream press? This isn't law
enforcement; it's lethal, extrajudicial action dressed up as national security. How many 'alleged' threats must be neutralized before anyone asks for receipts?
