US Military Kills Four; Mainstream Media Finds 'Scrutiny'
The US military, according to Al Jazeera, killed four people in a Caribbean boat strike, renewing 'scrutiny' of Trump’s anti-drug operations. 'Scrutiny' is a charitable term for the continued, militarized foreign policy that conveniently ignores US banks laundering billions in drug money. Remember when HSBC paid a 1.9 billion-dollar fine in 2012 for laundering narco-dollars, yet not a single
executive saw jail time? Contrast that with four nameless individuals blown out of the water for 'alleged' smuggling. This isn't about drugs; it's about projecting power and maintaining a convenient 'us vs. them' narrative. The collateral damage in this 'war on drugs'—a war perpetually waged on non-white populations abroad while pharmaceutical companies peddle opioids at home—never seems to extend
to the financial institutions that enable the entire enterprise. Funny how that works.
