"The shooting comes amid an aggressive campaign by the Trump administration against speedboats in the region that the White House has claimed are trafficking drugs to the United States. It has not provided evidence to support those claims. The U.S. military has conducted 44 known strikes, killing at least 150 people in attacks that legal experts say violate international law."

@cathygellis.bsky.social Oil companies' meddling is nothing new. I read years ago that it was George Bush Sr.'s oil company that funded the boats for the #BayOfPigs

Today in Labor History October 9, 1967: Ernesto “Che” Guevara was captured and summarily executed in Bolivia, at the age of 39. His capture was orchestrated by Cuban exile, Felix Rodriguez, a CIA operative and Bay of Pigs veteran. It has been alleged the Nazi war criminal, Klaus Barbie, who was living in Bolivia at the time, also helped orchestrate Guevara’s capture. Felix Rodriguez also participated in the Phoenix Program, in the war against Vietnam; met regularly with Vice President George H.W. Bush, during the illegal arming of the Nicaraguan Contras; and participated in the assassination of DEA Agent Kiki Camarena.
