EXTRAJUDICIAL KILLINGS

 These killings have been a factor in the history of this country of mine - killing people suspected of being terrorists was okd by the Bush administration and even by the Obama administration (shame on Barrack). However, our current criminal president has taken these extrajudicial killings to a new level. Clearly the criminals in our current administration have the goal of regime change in Venezuela. Unfortunately we also have a history of just killing people without any process- now we are killing people in boats on the guise that they are trying to bring drugs to the U.S. 

According to the U.N. these actions by my government violate not only Venezuela's sovereignty but also the U.N. charter:

GENEVA - Covert action and threats of using armed force against the Government of Venezuela by the United States violate Venezuela’s sovereignty and the UN Charter, UN experts* said today.

“These actions also violate the fundamental international obligations not to intervene in the domestic affairs or threaten to use armed force against another country,” the experts said. “These moves are an extremely dangerous escalation with grave implications for peace and security in the Caribbean region.”

But things get more complicated when the people attacked are not who our government claims they are (not to even mention the impossibility of traveling in a small boat the thousands of miles to reach the U.S.). Two survivors are not Venezuelan: one is from Ecuador and the other from Columbia. oops?

Funny how just last month trump was begging for the nobel peace prize.

Chicago tells the criminal to get the hell out of our city.

 

NO KINGS DAY....WHILE UNDER SEIGE HERE IN CHICAGO

 

and keep an eye on the U.S. activities in and around Venezuela

 While the trump criminals are, on the one hand, busy attacking U.S. cities and doing their best to undermine our democratic republic, do not lose focus on what is going on to our South. 

We have an undeclared war against Venezuela and we are attacking ships in the Caribbean because they might be carrying drugs. The U.S. war on drugs on steroids. 

At the same time we have unleashed the CIA into Venezuela to attempt a coup and now we have prisoners of "war" from our latest ship attack. Since everything that comes out of the mouths of the administration is propaganda we must take everything they say as suspected lies.

Trump’s Disappearing Migrants at Guantánamo - Articles - Welcome to "Close Guantánamo"

CHICAGO UNDER SEIGE

 Ice has been very aggressive in Chicago this past week- targeting peaceful communities and rounding up both citizens and non citizens. Protests have remained strong, well attended and peaceful. I expect a huge crowd at Chicago's "no kings day" event. Unlike the earlier protests (at the federal building and the state court house) this will be held at Grant Park. A space that can accommodate the expected hundred thousand people. We will not be intimidated and we will stand firm. AND WE WILL WIN.

 

THE GUANTANAMO PLAYBOOK AGAIN....

 Bush and his war criminals came up with the idea of classifying people they had no authority to "detain" as "unlawful enemy combatants." And they declared them to be outside of the Geneva conventions and therefore not subject to any rules or laws. That gave them the "permission" to detain those men at Guantanamo. It led to 100's of men being held for literally decades without charge. I wrote about one of these men for Huffington Post almost twenty years ago. Many people in this country still do not understand the grave harm this caused to the U.S.  and the rule of law.

The trump war criminals understand the license that this gave them. Now they are taking it to another step and declaring supposed drug dealers as "unlawful enemy combatants." And killing them- not only to provoke a war - but to give them free reign to round up people here in this country under the guise of the "terrorist drug war."

In the early days of the "war on terror" we dropped leaflets on Afghanistan and Pakistan offering bounties for "terrorists."  Will that be next? Will we offer bounties for turning over supposed drug dealer  "terrorists."

Stay tuned.
