Four Murdered in Latest US Extrajudicial Killings in the Pacific (+NDAs)
The US empire’s military has attacked another small boat allegedly carrying drugs in the eastern Pacific, off the coast of MĂ©xico.
US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth reported on social media this Wednesday, October 29, that the attack, ordered by President Donald Trump, took place the same day of the report and that four people were assassinated.
“This vessel, like all the others, was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and carrying narcotics,” the statement claimed, continuing the slew of fictive propaganda. “Four male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel—and killed—during the strike, which was conducted in international waters. No US forces were harmed in this strike.”
Earlier today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike on yet another narco-trafficking vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) in the Eastern Pacific.

The US empire launched a military deployment in the region last September, in what it has called a new version of its infamous “war on drugs,” continuing to ignore both international and even US laws.
So far, according to its own statements, the US has carried out 14 attacks against small boats in the Caribbean and Pacific, murdering 61 people in these operations. These actions have been condemned by numerous governments and international bodies, which have described them as extrajudicial executions.
The Venezuelan government has repeatedly stated that the underlying motive behind the actions of the US is simply to justify an invasion of its territory to seize its natural resources.
So far the US regime has not provided the names of those assassinated, the precise location of the strikes, or the type of drugs carried by the destroyed small boats.

On Tuesday, mainstream media reported that the US Department of War has been forcing military officers participating in the operation to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). These agreements legally force those who sign them not to disclose any sort of information related to a certain activity, work, or operation.
This new discovery brings more clouds to the already shadowy US operation that numerous experts have condemned as being in violation of international laws. Meanwhile, fisherfolk and people working on boats all over the Caribbean region feel threatened to develop their day-to-day activities as they worry about being targeted and executed by the US Southern Command.
