This is a very worrying story. Ecuadorian fishermen are being attacked and killed, and the perpetrators seem to be either the U.S. military engaged in clandestine operations or an American mercenary company working for Bukele or another Central American country.

Far out in the Pacific Ocean, Ecuadorean fishermen have been attacked by unidentified “gringos” using drones, survivors say, spurring a mystery over whether the American military, the armed forces of another country or private military contractors were behind the strikes.

One fishing boat has been lost at sea since January, the U.N. says, with eight people still missing and presumed dead. The survivors of two other vessels said they came under attack in March by English-speaking assailants wearing matching uniforms with American flag patches, but without any clear insignia to link them to an official government force.

Some of the surviving fishermen said they had been hauled out of the water, questioned and then handed over to El Salvador’s navy before being released. The Pentagon has denied involvement, as has the U.S. Coast Guard.

Survivors have also said that a plane followed and seemingly surveilled them before the strikes.

The New York Times analyzed flight data and found that a maritime patrol plane — based out of a military base in El Salvador — flew in the direction of all three boats in the days before they were attacked. The pilots onboard spoke English with American accents, according to air traffic control communication recordings.

Historical fact: The Nazi regime used cruel law enforcement by weaponizing the police, criminalizing ordinary behaviors, and orchestrating public executions to instill total terror in the German population. Alex Pretti and Nicole Good are dead and their killers have not been brought to justice.

"Mr. Trump, you are the first president in American history to start and lose a war by yourself. You have made America more weak, more alone and less respected. Congress needs to take back the steering wheel from this impaired driver."

Drone attack halts grain exports from Russian Black Sea ports. The drone strike on Novorossiysk's grain ports disrupted a crucial supply route and left two dead, with the NVT terminal handling 8.5M tons annually significantly damaged, raising fears of long-term food supply issues. 1/5

The longer we allow grandpa to rage post to distract from the EPSTEIN Files, the more danger he creates for the safety & security of the world. Any doubt he would use nuclear weapons in a heartbeat if he thought it would benefit himself? I'm with Maj. Jason Watson: IMPEACH. CONVICT. REMOVE 🇺🇸
