​16SEP26💯%Choneros🚀"On Sept. 16, under the direction of #SOUTHCOM, Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere (JTF-WHEM) 

forces successfully interdicted a floating refueling station supporting illicit at-sea drug trafficking operations in the Eastern Pacific.

Intelligence confirmed the vessel's involvement with the Los Choneros violent narco-terrorist organization. 

Individuals removed from the vessel have been transferred to Ecuadorian authorities. After clearing the vessel and disembarking the crew, U.S. forces sank it. 

JTF-WHEM continues to conduct precise and professional operations to dismantle the logistical networks fueling narco-trafficking in the Western Hemisphere.

"Alongside our Ecuadorian partners, we are relentlessly pursuing narco-terrorists who prey on our citizens, 

undermine hemispheric security, and leave death and suffering in their wake. This deliberate, lawful, and precise operation saves lives and makes our citizens—from Ecuador to the United States—safer." - 

SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan

Absurd

​ "It is an absurdity, it is laughable, to speak of such a pending disaster as "The End of the World." 

We are discussing the end of Humanity, or we are discussing the end of Civilization, or we are perhaps even discussing 

the end of some this or that Empire that we mistakenly believe to identify with. 

The end of the world will come when the sun expands and engulfs it. 

Now, is it truly a surprise that our discourse relates economic tragedy with an ecological one? 

That we actually behave as though a marked downturn in the Market can somehow be compared to the death of Nature? 

We are so enamored with our vastness and resource that we have forgotten the lark and the sparrow. 

So I say, come armageddon. Come, you horsemen. 

Let us speak these things no more."
