The #FAA requires all active aircraft to be registered with the agency, with exceptions that include periods of ownership transfer & “aircraft of the national defense forces of the United States,” according to federal #law.
That registration number had been reserved by a company that has no obvious website & lists its address as a mailbox at a UPS store in Virginia, records show.#Trump #Congress #WarPowers #CIA #FishingBoats #Ecuador #WarCrimes #ExtrajudicialKillings #InternationalLaw

In each of the incidents, a high-end business jet equipped with specialized surveillance technology flew from El Salvador in the direction of the #FishingBoats on the days of the strikes & in the days prior, according to flight- & ship-tracking data. Details about the plane, & the pattern of its flights before the incidents, suggest that it may be linked to the secret #CIA program.

The strikes are separate from the #Pentagon’s campaign against alleged drug boats that began last fall. Those strikes have been fiercely criticized by #HumanRights groups & most Democratic lawmakers, who say they are #extrajudicial #murders. The admin has justified the strikes by equating “narco-terrorists” with militants assaulting the #US.

No agency or government has claimed responsibility for the incidents, including the disappearance in January of a fishing vessel & 8 of its crew members.
The #CIA’s involvement adds a new & secretive dimension to the #Trump admin’s otherwise highly publicized campaign against alleged drug traffickers at sea. It was not clear whether other actors were involved, such as private contractors or authorities from other countries.

While many details about the #CIA’s involvement were not clear, one person with knowledge of the matter said the strikes were part of a “covert action” program, a type of secret operation overseas that is approved by the president but where the role of the #US government is not publicly acknowledged. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the subject’s sensitivity.

The Law Is a Blunt Instrument by Lawson Akhigbe
In the fearful months and years following the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, Western democracies faced an unenviable dilemma. Their citizens demanded protection from an enemy that recognised no borders, wore no uniforms and deliberately targeted civilians.https://lawakhigbe.com/2026/08/12/the-law-is-a-blunt-instrument-by-lawson-akhigbe/

Irish War of Independence vs Irish Civil War: What’s the Difference? By Fearghal Fitzgibbon
The War of Independence followed on from the unsuccessful Easter Rising in 1916. While the Rising had little support from the Irish population, the British crackdown hardened public opinion against British rule. Subsequent events such as the Conscription Crisis helped Sinn Féin, an Irish nationalist party, to a landslide victory in the 1918 general election. Establishing their own parliament, Dáil Éireann, they declared independence while the Irish Republican Army (IRA) fought a guerrilla campaign across the island. -

Colombia’s Foreign Ministry made the announcement on Monday, joining the United States as the only other country to recognise Israel’s annexation of the territory in 1981.“

The Rules for Thee, but Nary for Me: How International “Justice” Lost the Plot by Lawson Akhigbe

Except, like a discount gym membership, universality apparently comes with fine print, blackout dates, and VIP exemptions reserved exclusively for nations backed by Western firepower.
