Why Trump reversed course to fast-track psychedelic drugs for mental healthcare
Trump accelerates psychedelic treatments and asks, 'Can I have some?'
... “In many cases, these experimental treatments have shown life-changing potential for those suffering from severe mental illness and depression, including our cherished veterans,” Trump said during a signing event in the Oval Office. ...
“Can I have some, please? I’ll take some,” Trump said, adding that he would “take whatever it takes,” prompting laughter in the Oval. “I don’t have time to be depressed. You know, if you stay busy enough, maybe that works, too. That’s what I do.” ...
Ibogaine is the only psychedelic mentioned by name in the executive order, but LSD, MDMA and psilocybin – the active ingredient in “magic mushrooms” – have also been studied in the US as treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. ...
How cartel members are getting drone training in Ukraine
... Some cartels have turned to drones to help strike rival compounds, and even dropped grenades on other drug strongholds in the country. ...
Why shouldn't they "show no quarter" to anyone else after all that, since no one is doing anything about it?
Because it was the under-reported story of the year 2024, when Joe Biden was still president, when overdose deaths for a single year declined the most e v a h .
Pam Bondi forced to admit Trump's Maduro claim is a complete fiction
... Cartel de los Soles is actually a slang term invented by Venezuelan media in the 1990s to describe officials who take drug money as bribes.
The revised indictment against Maduro now concedes that point against the now deposed dictator.
The old indictment refers to the Cartel de los Soles 32 times and claims Maduro is the leader of the organization. The revised document now only claims Maduro upheld the patronage system along with his predecessor and mentor, President Hugo Chávez. ...
Marco Rubio continued referring to Cartel de los Soles as an actual organization during a Sunday interview on NBC's show Meet the Press.
'We will continue to reserve the right to take strikes against drug boats that are bringing drugs toward the United States that are being operated by transnational criminal organizations, including the Cartel de los Soles,' Rubio claimed.
'Of course, their leader, the leader of that cartel, is now in U.S. custody and facing US justice in the Southern District of New York. And that's Nicolas Maduro.' ...
Government of the Uniparty, by the Uniparty, and for the Uniparty.
Trump fancies that he's different from George W. Bush, but he's the same guy.

Striking First: President Bush's Preemptive Strike Policy
... We can't have one kind of law for the rest of the world that we impose on the rest of the world and an imperial law, if you will, a law of empire, that applies only to the United States. ... We were seeing the possibility of a new kind of law of empire where we would stand above the rest of the world, and the bottom line when we look at the question of attacking civilians, what happens when we're wrong? Like we were today in Afghanistan, where civilians died because of bad intelligence? ...
... The NSS finally says out loud what many of us have argued quietly: proximity shapes power. If the United States wants to compete with China—economically, technologically, militarily—it must simultaneously secure the space in which its own republic exists. A great power does not project strength globally while hemorrhaging authority regionally. China seems to get this instinctively. It does not confront nuclear competitors while tolerating cartel rule on its own doorstep. ...
China is the principal global source for the world's fentanyl and methamphetamine precursors which fuel the cartels in Mexico and in China's own backyard in Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand, which also supply China with its own heroin and opium.
Illegal drugs are a key weapon China deploys against the West, but Trump's new, awful, stupid National Security Strategy couldn't care less.
And Trump is about to prove it again next week when he reclassifies gateway drug marijuana as Schedule III instead of Schedule I.
That's another OMG, and it's not even lunch yet on this snow-packed 4-degree F second Monday of December.
Two men who survived a US airstrike on a suspected drug smuggling boat in the Caribbean clung to the wreckage for an hour before they were killed in a second attack, according to a video of the episode shown to senators in Washington.
The men were shirtless, unarmed and carried no visible radio or other communications equipment. They also appeared to have no idea what had just hit them, or that the US military was weighing whether to finish them off, two sources familiar with the recording told Reuters.
The pair desperately tried to turn a severed section of the hull upright before they died. “The video follows them for about an hour as they tried to flip the boat back over. They couldn’t do it,” one source said. ...
The US Department of Defense’s Law of War manual forbids attacks on combatants who are incapacitated, unconscious or shipwrecked, so long as they abstain from hostilities and do not attempt to escape. The manual cites firing upon shipwreck survivors as an example of a “clearly illegal” order that should be refused. ...
These aren't even combatants. The military has no business in any of this. That's why we have a Coast Guard in the first place.
If the US military is allowed this completely novel idea that it can kill noncombatants, THEY CAN KILL YOU.
They're also conspirators who tried to cover up their crime.
Admiral says there was no 'kill them all' order in boat attack, but video alarms lawmakers...
After the September 2nd debacle, they changed their policy about survivors, which shows they knew all along that they were wrong to kill the survivors on September 2nd.
There were survivors of the sixth attack, on October 16th. Those survivors they recovered and repatriated.
That incident was reported as the first known case of survivors because they covered up that there were survivors on September 2nd.
These people know they committed murder on September 2nd and they tried to hide it. Now they're madly spinning.
What Trump is doing is wildly illegal, wildly un-American.
