It's at least the 15th such strike carried out by the #US #military in the #Caribbean or eastern #Pacific since early September.
…The US military has now killed at least 64 people in the strikes.
#Trump has justified the attacks as a necessary escalation to stem the flow of drugs into the US. He has asserted the US is engaged in an "armed conflict" with drug cartels, relying on the same #legal authority used by the Bush admin when it declared a war on terrorism after the Sept 11, 2001 attacks.

#JDVance calls for reduction in LEGAL #immigration at Turning Point event
JD Vance advocated a slowdown in #legal immigration Wednesday, saying, “We have to get the overall numbers way, way down.”
Vance took questions from students at the University of Mississippi at an event organized by Turning Point USA, stepping into the role of debater that was *performed* by the organization’s founder, Charlie Kirk.

I can follow you train of thought, Bernd.
The way you portray the opium trade and the British East India Company's (EIC) example, I do see the moral hazard. We can both agree that it was morally wrong.
I am no specialist in medieval English law, but the EIC received a royal charter and thus was a legal company in Britain. Owning shares in that joint-stock company was legal, so there cannot be a liability...

According to the brief history I glanced at, policy was set by the Board of Directors. There probably were influential shareholders who really had a say in company policy. That would to be looked at individually. But overall, shareholders "only" have a limited legal but do have a moral liability.

The last time a president sought such a resolution was in Oct 2002, when Pres George W. Bush asked for authorization to use #military force against #Iraq. #Congress approved that measure, & it has been cited for decades as the #legal basis for military ops around the world carried out by subsequent administrations of both parties.
Though he repeatedly referred to the military operation targeting drug trafficking as a “#war,” #Trump said he would not seek any formal approval from lawmakers.
It was the 9th known attack by #US Special Operations forces since the operation began in early September, bringing the officially acknowledged death toll to 37. The consecutive strikes in the #Pacific mark an expansion of the campaign, which started in the #Caribbean, & highlights how the effort has evolved into a wider #military operation even as #legal experts & lawmakers on Capitol Hill question the legal basis & strategic purpose.
…The moves by #Trump to elevate #election deniers portends escalating #legal battles over how much #power his admin wields over balloting across the country.
Already this year, #courts have affirmed that the president has no legal authority over #elections, which have long been the domain of #state & #local governments. Judges have largely blocked an executive order that Trump issued in March requiring, among other changes, documentary proof of citizenship to vote.
@regendans After reviewing a lot of:
#TommyRobinson videos (and taking the points from them), this one stands out about him being
NOW "NOT GUILTY" 🧑⚖️ 🔨 #VERDICT
After being taken to court.
2nd days in court - nothing brought against him - hmm strange that - video here:
https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=AP0nMh9Bh-4
or
and other court update videos here:
https://inv.nadeko.net/search?q=channel%3AUC6wdP5hTf_phre6Q3kFiV2g+court
There is a lot of #fanfare and #hype but the last word and actual sentences by court count (not arrests / questioning / newspaper headlines etc) shows a lot about the hype - first arresting (meaning to talk or find dirt) - not much else... or do you doubt that?
So given the verdict and #fascist state recently (or forever) one has to always wonder about balancing all the shit and why they / the system spend so much time going after individuals like this that they can't even convict in their own twisted kangeroo #court. (for example they did it with #nojury and often #silenced him in weird ways unhelpful to his #legal #case)
And we know how easy it is to find people guilty in #legalese #language and all the many clauses to twist something. NOTHING FOR MANY (#ASSANGE... ETC also a journalistic type of person don't forget) means how crap they are...
" #Financial #Terrorists " Tommy calls them after they say how much in #legal #fees he has to pay at the end. Yeah just to profit from people - sounds about right (or at least the main thing above any real truth that looks bad on their side).
I'm not saying he is 100% right but BUT SO MANY TIMES "NOT #GUILTY" should be #proof enough which is hard / near IMPOSSIBLE in #court under bogus '#terrorism' laws AND even documenting things on himself by himself on youtube that I think NOBODY ELSE HAS #DOCUMENTED in such detail (and risky to do to this extent and upload) but he has not been challenged much on TONS of stuff and protected himself with truth more than dishonesty (as lots of people are watching) so always other more dishonest stuff tries to get in the way.
They were in a van outside his house (footage of that) just so #Nazi style dirty / desperate to find anything on him. Recording his family home, Driving on the pavement to get away when he try to block them with a car,
NOT TRYING TO TAKE SIDES BUT IT'S THE SAME #PATTERN SINCE FOREVER IF YOU HAVE 'SOME TRUTH' or UNCOVER THINGS ⬅️
All this is not by chance and it shows itself - plenty of State crap whether you are #rascist or not - when you get near the #truthes it gets really obvious by their reaction and sudden caring for you and what's right.
So the attention from a #failing #system is what you need to see also for what it is - a lot of fabricated and downright #fascistic systematic tendencies (I include the #silence by the way all these years and not answering it's victims, cost cutting, cutting corners, seeing people as GDP only, getting rid of body cam footage of whole teams of officers suddenly, not doing enough to disprove things etc)...
All while the points and evidences were told in detail by Tommy Robinson (it's online) and done by himself at first with phone, and then asking people door to door what happened, #councils paying #public to stay quiet in #NDA's Non-Disclosure Agreements etc).
Do question the #system and it's own #racism / #discrimination also for going after what serves them and their money so much / and not caring much for the #truth.
This pattern also in history and it's no accident or chance - it's deliberate #design with a system more for them to profit than anything for us like the truth and very inconvenient justice).

#Trump announced the measure in a post on his Truth Social platform, claiming #US #movie-making is losing ground to international competition.
"Our movie making business has been stolen from the United States of America, by other Countries, just like stealing candy from a baby," he wrote.
However, it was not immediately clear what #legal authority Trump would use to impose a 100% #tariff on foreign-made films.
#law #economy #movies #film #business #inflation #jobs #recession #RevengePolitics
Studio executives told Reuters earlier this year that they were "flummoxed" by how a #movie #tariff might be enforced, given that modern #films often use #production, financing, post-production & visual effects spread across multiple countries.
The move has drawn skepticism from #legal & #trade analysts. Some argue films are a form of #IntellectualProperty & part of the global #trade in services, an area where the #US often runs a surplus, raising questions about the legal basis for #tariffs.
Draft #legislation is circulating at the White House & Capitol Hill that would hand #Trump sweeping #power to wage #war against drug #cartels he deems to be “#terrorists,” as well as against any nation he says has harbored or aided them…
A wide range of #legal specialists have said that #US #military attacks this month on 2 boats suspected of smuggling drugs in the #Caribbean Sea were #illegal. But Trump claims the Constitution gives him the power to authorize it.

When a judge dismisses terrorism charges, he’s not unearthing Truth with a capital T. He’s choosing one language game over another, enforced by the hierarchy of law. Murder is real. “Terrorist” is up for grabs.
