    The nefarious Trumpf junta has already conducted several extra-judicial killings (XJK) of alleged "narco-terrorists" in the Caribbean Sea in clear violation of international law. Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro appealed to Pope Leo XIV for intervention to keep peace in the region and his military is preparing its citizens for guerrilla warfare against US forces.

This Empty Suit was vetted for his position as USSECSTATE by none other than mega-oligarch Larry Ellison, based on his fealty to Israel. His son, David Ellison, now controls CBS News.

    Hard now just to make end meet
    How soon we all forget
