    Distraction? Trump Sends Warships To Venezuela

    April 2 - In a shocking press conference yesterday, President Trump and his advisors announced that the US military would begin conducting a "counter-narcotics operation" in the eastern Pacific and Caribbean. Perhaps not coincidentally, Trump's Justice Department indicted Venezuelan president Maduro on drug trafficking charges. Is the US about to "do a Noriega" on Maduro based on half-baked charged that the Venezuelan leader is some kind of drug kingpin? Have the president's war-braying neocons convinced him that the best thing to get our minds off of coronavirus is a "nice little war"?
    On Trump:
    How conservative Republicans can continue to support this arrogant imposter—the man who brags about inflicting the world with the Covid mark of the beast; the man who said, “Take the guns first, go through due process second”; and the man who deliberately played and then set up Stewart Rhodes (of course, Stewart was all too eager to be Trump’s patsy) for an 18-year prison sentence—is truly beyond my comprehension.” Chuck Baldwin

    Let's be real, this latest implied move of aggression by the Trump administration, towards a sovereign nation, is all about the oil. Russia after all, effectively nullified Trump's Venezuela sanctions against oil company Rosnet, by transferring the Rosnet oil company assets in Venezuela to a company fully owned by the Russian government (Ron points this out). Looks like Putin plays 3d chess also.

    Aren't y'all drowning in oil right now?
    In New Zealand:
    The Coastguard is a Charity
    Air Traffic Control is a private company run on user fees
    The DMV is a private non-profit
    Rescue helicopters and ambulances are operated by charities and are plastered with corporate logos
    The agriculture industry has zero subsidies
    5% of the national vote, gets you 5 seats in Parliament
    A tax return has 4 fields
    Business licenses aren't a thing
    Prostitution is legal
    We have a constitutional right to refuse any type of medical care

    There is only one correct way: freedom. All other solutions are non-solutions.

    It appears that artificial intelligence is at least slightly superior to natural stupidity.

    Our words make us the ghosts that we are.

    Convincing the world he didn't exist was the Devil's second greatest trick; the first was convincing us that God didn't exist.

    Piracy has been increasing in the Caribbean basin for years now, as Venezuela collapses.

    This is direct threat to myself and my operations.

    Since I am disarmed by various legal and civil restrictions while onboard and while I pay incredible amounts of taxes to support a navy, whose job it is to, among other things, protect US commerce on the oceans of the world, I have no issue with this.
