"A broad range of specialists in laws governing the use of lethal force have called Mr. Trump’s orders to the military patently illegal. They say the premeditated extrajudicial killings have been murders — regardless of whether the 43 people blown apart, burned alive or drowned in 10 strikes so far were indeed running drugs."

"They’re a saber-rattling precursor to an increasingly likely attack against Venezuela, whose president Trump is eager to topple…."

"He gets to kill people on his say-so. He seems to enjoy the prospect."

"And a special bonus: The attacks devalue the lives of brown people…."

"The attacks -- which, one needs to acknowledge right from the start, amount to extrajudicial executions, or murder -- have little or nothing to do with combatting the flow of deadly drugs from cartels into the United States. ...

So what are Trump’s real motives for attacking these boats? I think there are three obvious attractions to Trump here, that satisfy his deep needs."

"Ever since Donald Trump began his campaign of blowing up boats off the coast of South America early last month, journalists covering the story have been too accepting of his obviously bogus rationale."

The media often misrepresents Japan’s new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi by using inflammatory labels that distort public understanding and amplify foreign disinformation campaigns undermining the country’s democracy. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/10/24/japan/when-media-distortions-threaten-democracy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #media #journalism #sanaetakaichi #academia #russia #china

"Not only that, but on Sunday the California Highway Patrol announced that their vehicles were hit with shrapnel from the munitions fired over the highway. Had the highway not been shut down by Governor Newsom, people driving on the highway could have been killed by the falling shrapnel."

Important new article in Marie Claire: 'Smearing Virginia Giuffre: What New Allegations Against Prince Andrew Reveal About Power and Silence' - I was interviewed on the role of the media and influence industry weaponized by powerful abusers. https://www.marieclaire.co.uk/opinion/prince-andrew-virginia-giuffre-smear-campaign-sex-abuse-survivor-social-security-met-police #Epstein #VirginiaGuiffre #PrinceAndrew #SexualAssault #Media

"Sources said the Camp Pendleton artillery incident was especially dangerous because live munitions were fired over a freeway with civilians below, a departure from standard practice, and they welcomed an investigation into the conduct of Trump, Vance, and Hegseth."

"A 155-millimeter shell fired during a live-fire demonstration for the 250th anniversary of the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton on Saturday prematurely detonated, dropping fragments of the shell on a California Highway Patrol vehicle and motorcycle that were part of Vice President JD Vance’s protective detail, according to a patrol report."

"We have to stop sane-washing this Administration and this news cycle....

Remember the live-fire artillery drill in California that I exclusively reported on earlier this week? One of those shells detonated early, directly over Interstate 5, & damaged a vehicle in Vice President JD Vance’s security detail.

When I first reported this plan, critics called it 'fearmongering.' They said it couldn’t be true."

"BREAKING: Live munitions from a Trump-Vance “military demo” flew over I-5 and struck a CHP vehicle. The White House wanted the highway open—but Gov. Newsom shut it down for safety. That decision likely prevented injuries or worse.

We have obtained these photos…."

"Then, the popular fact-checking site Snopes essentially called our reporting bogus and used Trump’s statements attacking us as their authoritative source to say we were full of it.

It turns out our reporting was spot on."

Ben Meiselas notes that when Meidas reported that the Trump administration planned to stage a live-fire artillery drill in California over I-5 on No Kings day, everybody and their siblings said that Meidas was creating fake news: none of this was going to happen:

"The Marines issued a statement claiming they were not firing live munitions over the highway. Trump’s press team called us fake news."
