Yes, I know. Before we get into it, there have been many holocausts. There was the Armenian Genocide. The Rwandan Massacre. The Ethnic Cleansing of Bosnia-Herzegovina. The Guatemalan Genocide. The Killing Fields of Cambodia. The Ukrainian Famine of Stalin. The Great Purge of Soviet Russia. The mass sterilization of Latino and Eastern European Immigrants. And of course, Nazi Germany and the current Genocide in Gaza.

I would consider the Massacre of Native Americans during the Colonization of these very lands to be he most vicious and heinous of these. But then, this isn’t a “mine’s bigger than yours” contest. There have been a lot of holocausts.

Yes, I admit it leans toward clickbait, but I’m using this terminology because I think it’s appropriate, and also necessary, as we seem to be largely lacking the urgency to properly respond to yet another atrocity that is happening right now, right in front of our eyes. This is a Five-Alarm Fire.

For example, DOGE managed to cancel desperately needed food and medicine for millions — putting 12 million directly at risk with at least 600,000 deaths already documented. 2/3rds of whom have been children. Yet this has been rendered out-of-sight, out-of-mind,

And that was just the beginning.

We are still in the early stages of this horror, there may be a chance to turn it around before it gets out of hand, but it may get much worse very soon.

Yeah, surprise, surprise…

According to a report from the Washington Post’s Ellen Nakashima, Warren P. Strobel and Alex Horton, Donald Trump’s CIA director John Ratcliffe busily began planning the attacks via a variety of methods but then butted heads with lawyers in his department who questioned the legality of the unprovoked killing of foreign citizens.

The Post is reporting, “... early on, according to two people familiar with the matter, the administration proposed having the CIA use its unique covert authorities to conduct the lethal strikes on drug traffickers that Trump and Stephen Miller, his powerful homeland security adviser, wanted,” however, “Lawyers at the spy agency and elsewhere in the government were skeptical. Was killing civilian drug traffickers defensible under domestic law, they asked, if the cartels do not actually seek to attack Americans, even if the product they smuggle might lead to deaths in the United States?”
According to one official who wished to remain anonymous, “There is no actual threat justifying self defense — there are not organized armed groups seeking to kill Americans.”

The report notes that Trump and Miller faced “pushback” from CIA attorneys forcing them to revisit a back-up plan using the Pentagon, headed by former Fox News personality Pete Hegseth, with Post adding the caveat, “And it came up with a legal justification that national security law experts inside and out of government have said does not stand up to facts: that the country was in a ‘non-international’ armed conflict with ‘designated terrorist organizations.’.”

So, the regimes attack against Venezuela boats was determined to be ILLEGAL from the start, and instead of paying attention to that legal advice, they ignored it and charged ahead any way.

Shocker.
