The military agreements, ranging from airport access, as in Trinidad and Tobago, to the temporary deployment of US troops for joint operations against "narco-terrorists" in Paraguay, are being signed under the banner of a so-called "war on drugs," the same rationale Washington has used to justify its offensive against Venezuela, although junta officials and Dummkopf Trumpf himself has said that the goals also include seizing the country's vast energy reserves and bringing down Nicolas Maduro.

Although Washington has long maintained similar agreements in the region, the scale and timing of the new deals are seen by analysts as a further escalation amid what would be an unprecedented US invasion of a South American country.

"If the US were to launch a larger offensive that included airstrikes on Venezuela or other countries that have been mentioned, such as Colombia or Cuba, it would want operating locations around the region," said Jennifer Kavanagh, the director of military analysis at the Defense Priorities thinktank.

"Constructing a network of locations would be important for the sustainability of any type of operation. So we can't say for sure that these activities are directly targeting Venezuela, but I think it's naive to suggest that they're not somehow related," she added.

A mobster held in the very same cell in MCC as Jeffrey Epstein said in an interview there would "be no way" for a man as tall as Epstein to have hung himself in that cell.

Cowardly Jeffrey Epstein probably didn't have the courage to end his own glorious life.

He had gotten out of jams before and was going to play the "I've got names" game.

But this time it didn't work.

Former Netanyahu spokesperson Eli Feldstein, who faces trial for allegedly leaking classified information to the press, made the explosive accusation during an extensive interview with Israel's Kan news channel.

Critics have repeatedly accused Benjamin Netanyahu of refusing to accept blame for the deadliest attack in Israel's history. But little is known about Netanyahu's behavior in the days immediately following the attack, while the premier has consistently resisted an independent state inquiry.

Speaking to Kan, Feldstein said "the first task" he received from Netanyahu after 7 Oct 2023, was to stifle calls for accountability.

"He asked me, What are they talking about in the news? Are they still talking about responsibility?'" Feldstein said. "He wanted me to think of something that could be said that would offset the media storm surrounding the question of whether the prime minister had taken responsibility or not."

He added that Netanyahu looked "panicked" when he made the request. Feldstein said he was later told by people in Netanyahu's close circle to omit the word "responsibility" from all statements.

Thanks to the erudite and calm-headed Mossad Director David Barnea, several prisoner swaps were conducted in Nov and Dec 2023 before Netanyahu initiated the Nakba to collectively punish the Palestinians and make way for a Greater Israel by ethnically cleansing Gaza and the West Bank.

The "Crime Minister" is still on trial for corruption charges, even though he recently begged Israel President Isaac Herzog for a pardon. An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC for crimes against humanity remains active for Benjamin Netanyahu and the Istanbul Public Prosecutor issued arrest warrants for him and 32 other Israelis accused of committing war crimes. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law or an international tribunal at the Hague.

**** DODIG: Over $13 Billion in US Military Aid to Israel Improperly Tracked ****

"Investigators said the oversight gaps were driven by staffing constraints and changes in the operational environment in Israel, and warned that such lapses increase the risk of sensitive US weapons technology falling into the hands of hostile actors. The US has provided Israel with more than $200 billion in military and economic assistance since World War II."

The ICJ's orders are legally binding though the court lacks enforcement; Israel has continued attacking Palestinians and establishing illegal settlements despite rulings from the ICJ to cease and Washington has rejected the case's merits."

*** Jeffrey Epstein's Brother: "He Was About to Name Names Before He Was 'Suicided'" ***

"Mark Epstein, brother of child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein, alleged to the FBI in 2023 that his brother was murdered because he was ready to "name names" and even claimed President Dummkopf Trumpf was behind the death, according to the latest batch of Epstein documents.

Mark Epstein (71) filed a complaint with the FBI in 2023 in which he claimed Trumpf "authorized" his brother's murder. Jeffrey Epstein died of an apparent suicide in 2019 while facing sex trafficking charges. Mark Epstein's complaint is part of a new batch of documents released by the Department of Justice, following Congress's vote to force the release of more documents related to the late billionaire."

USSECSTATE Marco Rubio on Social Media (23 Dec 2025):

"For far too long, ideologues in Europe have led organized efforts to coerce American platforms to punish American viewpoints they oppose. The Trump Administration will no longer tolerate these egregious acts of extraterritorial censorship. Today, the State Department will take steps to bar leading figures of the global censorship-industrial complex from entering the United States. We stand ready and willing to expand this list if others do not reverse course."
