I lived in LA from 1997-2018 and in that time I used poetry as a way to deal with stuff. Now, thanks to ElevenLab’s AI, I’ve created an album called “A Murmur over LA”.

This is a highly unusual order from a Secretary of Defense, and it’s almost certainly a war crime.
In the strike in question, two people survived and were clinging to the side of the ruined boat, and a second mission was spun up to execute them.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

These two are like bullshit pickleball.
BARTIROMO: All of this is part of an overall conspiracy the DOJ is trying to put together, starting with Russia collusion, the Mar-a-Lago raid. Was January 6 part of that?

Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!
