The US military has concentrated many of its assets in Puerto Rico, including the MQ-9 drones, F-35 fighter jets, and at least one AC- 130] gunship. All have limited ranges and are likely being used for the strikes in the Caribbean. The gunship was spotted on October 9 armed with precision-guided missiles for striking ground targets, CNN has reported. Most of the strikes have been carried out using MQ-9 Reaper drones, the sources said, which are remotely piloted aircraft used by the military and are typically armed with Hellfire missiles. Other strikes have been conducted by manned aircraft, including AC-130J gunships and fighter jets, the sources said.

This seems notable.

They changed the policy after they killed survivors of the first boat strike.

It’s as if, originally, they never considered the possibility of survivors.

archive.ph/2025.11.28-1...
SEAL Team 6, known formally as Naval Special Warfare Development Group and under JSOC command, conducted the intelligence collection and targeting for this attack and several others, according to two people. The protocols were changed after the strike to emphasize rescuing suspected smugglers if they survived strikes, according to three people. It is unclear who directed the change in protocol and when exactly it took shape.

What the hell kind of generalized statement is this coming from the Director of the CIA regarding Afghans who served his agency for years during war on their soil?

That Washington Post article outlines a good summary of the progression to military induced murder based on flimsy legal justification.

I pulled together this timeline to see things at a quick glance:

While you’re connecting dots…

Landon Thomas, Jr., the former NYT Financial Reporter who once tipped off Epstein, wrote this about Ghislaine Maxwell in 2002:
From a 2002 article in New York magazine: Friends of the two say that Maxwell, whose social life has always been higher-octane than Epstein's, lent a little pizzazz to the lower-profile Epstein. Indeed, at a party at Maxwell's house, her friends say, one is just as apt to see Russian ladies of the night as one is to see Prince Andrew.

Israeli officials inserted the controls to counter a series of anticipated threats. They feared Google or Amazon might bow to employee or shareholder pressure and withdraw Israel's access to its products and services if linked to human rights abuses in the occupied Palestinian territories. They were also concerned the companies could be vulnerable to overseas legal action, particularly in cases relating to the use of the technology in the military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. The terms of the Nimbus deal would appear to prohibit Google and Amazon from the kind of unilateral action taken by Microsoft last month, when it disabled the Israeli military's access to technology used to operate an indiscriminate surveillance system monitoring Palestinian phone calls.

The demand, which would require Google and Amazon to effectively sidestep legal obligations in countries around the world, was born out of Israel's concerns that data it moves into the global corporations' cloud platforms could end up in the hands of foreign law enforcement authorities.

This refers to the video message to the congregation but it’s an entertaining read given that’s not super clear at first.
