The propaganda arm of the U.S. empire (AKA: The Media) has been floundering since the JDPON Don Regime cut funding to USAID- one of the longest running, most effective propaganda outlets in modern history. The tentacles of USAID previously expanded across the globe. Now, with all of their finances being injected into the least effective pro-Israel consent-manufacturing campaign of all time; The drop in quality of The Media has been obvious to anyone paying attention. It is left to rely on using the most reactionary lingo it can in a desperate attempt to hold sway over the U.S. populace. We do not get anything close to a real education in this country without financially enslaving ourselves for a degree that will likely not improve our financial situations. As such, most yanks know the term “Narco” from the same place they get most of their education and opinions- TV. They associate “Narco” with the central-south american prohibited substance trade. The definition of terrorism is the use of violence to achieve political gain. The Media is now combining the two terms to describe innocent Venezuelan fishermen the U.S. military is murdering.

EDIT: Marking this NSFW. Didn’t realize the icon the Nazis used for the article was a gif of the fishing boats being blown up.

      Not to mention inserting themselves as the organizers and funders of the Latin-American organized crime syndicates to destabilize Latin-American governments. The bright side is, we are witnessing the empire resort to desperate measures like threatening Latin America with the invasion of Venezuela right before they join BRICS. This is a bright side because it is such an obviously desperate move. The fascists could afford to lose in Vietnam and Korea. However, Afghanistan was a major sign of our senile decline. The U.S. is continuously more on it’s own as our elites try to force control over the middle east to maintain a desperate control over world trade. It will not happen. Again. Like always. The Eurasian trade-belt will continue to be built. The western Imperialists can no longer do anything about that. What is likely left, is a battle against the U.S. between central-south America and central-south Africa. May the Global South be inoculated with the blood of kkkracka-ass tyrants.
      And remember: Kill the Boer.

    All the evidence they need to manufacture consent is that those people were brown or part of some other minority they want us to hate.
