Everything is fine: "Washington may not have to do much to foster political change in Cuba. The ongoing U.S. blockade of Venezuelan oil is cutting off an economic lifeline for the island, which it used to keep the lights on domestically and sold on international markets in exchange for hard currency to buy staples like medicine and food."

You gotta wonder when their story keeps changing…
Before the #Trump admin began attacking people suspected of smuggling drugs at sea, #Defense Secy Pete #Hegseth approved contingency plans for what to do if an initial strike left #survivors, acc/to multiple #US ofcls.

The #Trump admin says all 11 people aboard were killed.
What remains “unclear” was who ordered the strikes & whether #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth was involved, one of the people said. That will be part of a classified congressional briefing Thursday with the commander that the Trump admin claims ordered the 2nd strike, Adm. Frank “Mitch” Bradley.

The #Pentagon knew there were survivors after a Sept attack on an alleged drug boat in the #Caribbean Sea & the #US #military still carried out a follow-up strike, acc/to 2 people familiar with the matter.
The rationale for the 2nd strike was that it was needed to sink the vessel, acc/to the people….

“From numerous news reports, we know that US Secretary of Defense #PeteHegseth was responsible for ordering the bombing of boats like those of #AlejandroCarranza & the #murder of all those on such boats," acc/to the petition. "Secretary #Hegseth has admitted that he gave such orders despite the fact that he did not know the identity of those being targeted for these bombings & #ExtrajudicialKillings."

#US lawmakers to force vote on #WarPowers if #Trump attacks #Venezuela
US lawmakers of both parties who have tried repeatedly to rein in Trump's aggression against Venezuela said Tuesday they would file a new resolution to force a congressional vote on the issue if the admin carries out a strike within the country.

#Trump later said the strikes may not be limited to #Venezuela. Anyone manufacturing drugs or “selling it into our country” is subject to attack, Trump said. He added that he has heard that there are cocaine manufacturing plants in #Colombia.

#Hegseth also said he “didn’t stick around” for the remainder of the mission following the first strike, & again blamed Adm. Frank M. Bradley for authorizing the strikes. “He sunk the boat, sunk the boat & eliminated the threat, & it was the right call,” which he “had complete authority to do.”

Asked about the lethal strikes on a boat in the #Caribbean Sea on Sept 2 that has prompted bipartisan criticism, #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth who has said he watched the strike live as it happened, said that he did not see that there were survivors in the water when the second strike was ordered & launched, saying that “the thing was on fire.”

“We always have the back of our commanders who are making decisions in difficult situations,” he said. The comment came a day after the White House & #Hegseth were widely perceived to have scapegoated an admiral who oversaw September boat strikes that Hegseth initially appeared to take responsibility for, at least before they drew a bipartisan rebuke for being #illegal.

#Hegseth later added: “We’ve had a bit of a pause, because it’s hard to find boats to strike right now,” drawing laughter from the psychokillers in the room.
Hegseth ended his remarks by praising #Trump for having the #military’s back, including in supporting the boat strikes.

"The former JAGs Working Group unanimously considers both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder or both."

#Hegseth’s order, which has not been previously reported, adds another dimension to the campaign against suspected drug traffickers. Some current & former #US officials & #LawOfWar experts have said that the #Pentagon’s lethal campaign—which has killed more than 80 people to date—is #unlawful & may expose those most directly involved to future prosecution.

The longer the US surveillance aircraft followed the boat, the more confident intelligence analysts watching from command centers became that the 11 people on board were ferrying drugs.
#Defense Secy #PeteHegseth gave a verbal directive, acc/to 2 people with direct knowledge of the operation. “The order was to kill everybody,” one of them said.

As #corruption later expanded nationwide, first under the late President Hugo Chávez & then under #Maduro, the use of the term #CartelDeLosSoles expanded to #police & #government officials as well as activities like illegal mining & fuel trafficking.

Good morning. 🌅🌊☕
20 December 2023
We still have a land line telephone, though we both have cell phones as well. The home phone is inundated with calls from telemarketers, which is annoying at best. I get the idea, that it's a job for somebody, but I don't entertain the idea of doing any business, I didn't initiate, with strangers over the telephone. Another weird thing is that often when we answer the phone and say hello, there is nothing from the other end - quiet. Lately, I've taken up a tactic that I use when I don't recognize a number and I get a call ID description of wireless caller or out of area. I answer the phone as:" Alfred's Unicycle Universe."
“Have you ever been annoyed and amused with yourself at the same time? It's an interesting feeling, to say the very least.” - Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind

Annihilation by Labor
New research suggests, that even though most indigenous people in the colonies died of european diseases, way more people died in the mines then expected and those who died by a disease had a lack of immune system because of the daily physical exploitation and destruction.
Citation Wikipedia:
"While the populations of Europe rebounded following the devastating population decline associated with the Black Death, there was no such rebound for the indigenous populations of the Caribbean. He concludes that, even though the Spanish were aware of deadly diseases such as smallpox, there is no mention of them in the New World until 1519, meaning perhaps they didn't spread as fast as initially believed, and that unlike Europeans, the indigenous populations were subjected to slavery, exploitation, and forced labor in gold and silver mines on an enormous scale." (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ta%C3%ADno)
