This memo, reports The New York Times, was drafted by Justice Department lawyers to justify the strikes. It says that the United States is embroiled in an armed conflict with drug cartels. To buttress this idea, per the Times, the memo loops back on itself by relying on the White House’s own declarations to that effect as its key evidence.

Karl from Die Hard confused and saying “Cartel de Los Soles?” to Hans Gruber
“The government has a secret list of 24 organizations that it considers “designated terrorist organizations.” At least one of the groups, the so-called Cartel de los Soles, doesn’t really exist. Others have little to do with the drug trade. The rest are drug cartels that have nothing to do with terrorism”

“the legal justifications for these strikes are not dramatically flimsier than the justifications for a lot of bombings around the Middle East for the past 10-plus years over multiple presidents. There was already a precedent that the president could blow up anybody who he said was a terrorist to a certain extent” former officer Harrison Mann
"Wilsbach’s path to the service’s top position was unconventional, as several of President Donald Trump’s most recent picks for senior generals have been. A career fighter pilot, Wilsbach announced earlier this year that he would be retiring as the commanding general of Air Combat Command, the Air Force’s largest command, but canceled his planned retirement to take the job when Allvin announced that he was retiring."

"For decades the US condemned targeted killings, characterizing them as assassinations – but it was unclear what distinguished America’s drone campaign from the killings it historically rejected as unlawful Obama will not restrict drone strike ‘playbook’ before Trump takes office"

From the linked article: "Prosecutors, after failing three times to secure an indictment through a grand jury, charged Reid with simple assault. They say she thrusted her knee upward in a threatening manner toward a federal officer who was holding her back while she was filming."

From the article: “Suddenly, the far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir entered the area and stood in front of everyone, Greta recounts. – He shouted, ’You are terrorists. You want to kill Jewish babies.’ Those who shouted back were taken aside and beaten. They were thrown to the ground and beaten. But I could only see it out of the corner of my eye, because every time I lifted my head from the ground, I was kicked by the guard standing next to me.
From the article: “Nowhere does the document so much as hint at Palestinian statehood. Nowhere does it even suggest accountability for the innumerable war crimes committed by the Israeli government, still led by a man facing an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court. And it never comes anywhere close to establishing a diplomatic mechanism to address the Palestinians’ legitimate demands for freedom from Israel. Somehow, Palestinians are expected to consider their “dignity upheld” through continued subjugation by an Israeli military that remains inside Gaza”
Quote from the article: "A war on terrorism is inherently nebulous. It's designed to be subjective. Intelligence is meaningless as a term, but at the same time, it's very powerful, because as a result of your desire to obtain more intelligence, you can pursue this case, keep it open, launch your surveillance operations, for weeks, for months, for years, even, right? You can go on these fishing expeditions. And that's what it's going to be. It's going to be a perpetual fishing expedition to stifle dissent, to suppress people's rights of free speech, independent thought, free association, the things that you take for granted. I'm not trying to be an alarmist, but I've been saying this since I went to prison. When I was speaking to the Intercept, I was screaming this stuff back then because I was trying to convey: Look at the larger picture. This is not just about the Muslim community. I understood that what they were doing against the Muslim community was also the long-term plan to be done against other communities. And I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so."

Quoted from the article: “That is why I have come to see Gaza as more than war, and even more than genocide. What is unfolding is ritualized violence: collective, ceremonial, enacted like a grim sacrament. Ritual human sacrifice may sound archaic or sensational. But if we understand ritual as patterned, public, and meaningful violence—performed to communicate power, to terrify, to extinguish life—then the term clarifies what otherwise seems senseless”
Rik from Young Ones saying "Fascist"
What Kennedy and Ladapo deliberately obscure is that public health is not about individual choice but rather collective social responsibility. Mass vaccination protects not just individuals but all of society, especially the most vulnerable. The attacks against these precepts amount to the most vile form of libertarian ideology, the dangerous nonsense that independence and individual freedom outweigh scientific evidence and collective action.

The reason why Israel opposed the JCPOA is that it removed any alleged “Iranian nuclear threat” and hence deprived Israel of any excuse to attack and seek to destroy Iran.

"On those very rare occasions when intelligence is accurate, it is likely to be disregarded in any case. It will certainly be disregarded if it runs counter to a course to which policymakers are already committed."
