Kevin Park's Play of the day:
Trump's Golden Age Of America?
Part 87. "Bone Chilling Murders"
In the last blog I said:
"In President Trump's "Golden Age of America" it seems
that a week never goes by when we aren't "shocked" by some
unexpected turn of events."
This week I wasn't "SHOCKED."
Instead, I was "ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIED!"
A story appeared in The Washington Post that made what little hair
I have left stand on end. If true, Pete Hegseth, U.S. Secretary of War,
should be suspended and Court Martialed.
On November 28, 2025, Alex Horton and Ellen Nakashima reported the following
in "The Washington Post" about a suspected Venezuelan drug-boat.
"The longer the U.S. 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 Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a spoken directive, according to two people
with direct knowledge of the operation. "The order was to kill everybody!",
one of them said.
A missile screamed off the Trinidad coast, striking the vessel and igniting a blaze
from bow to stern. For minutes, commanders watched the boat burning on
a live drone feed. As the smoke cleared, they got a jolt:
Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck.
The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack —
the opening salvo in the Trump administration’s war on suspected drug traffickers
in the Western Hemisphere — ordered a second strike to comply with
Hegseth’s instructions, two people familiar with the matter said.
The two men were blown apart in the water."
Pete Hegseth is denying that he ever gave an order to "Kill everybody!"
(White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Monday
that Pete Hegseth authorized Admiral Mitch Bradley* to make the
Second Strike on the suspected drug boat.)
The House, the Senate, and the Pentagon are all investigating what happened.
The "Truth" will come out and heads should roll.
My Humble (?) Opinion
Two months ago in this space I expressed the opinion that the Caribbean boat
strikes that Hegseth's War Department were carrying out were,
in the absence of "Due Process," tantamount to "Murder!"
(Congress has not declared War. The boat strikes are a criminal activity.)
I haven't changed my mind for any of the twenty-three boats and their
approximately 80 passengers that have been blown out of the water since.
Civilized peoples demand "Due Process." Barbarians and terrorists don't.
In times of peace, no one is to act as Judge, Jury, and Executioner!"
"Egads!," as Major Hoople would say~
"Have you ever heard of anything More Evil than
blasting two survivors who were clinging to debris in
the water to Kingdom Come? That is pure EVIL!"
(Admiral Bradley* will testify to U.S. Senators on Thursday.
He has to answer did Hegseth say "Kill Them All."?)
