There is arguably no better canary in the coal mine for the death of democracy than a president who seizes for himself the power to wage war..

We seem to be headed there


Donald Trumps recent and ongoing unauthorized military aggression against Venezuela fails to meet even the minimal legal standard for presidential war powers.. Especially after TRUMPs Venezuela Invitation to Musk last year

Trump and his henchmen have largely dispensed with pretexts.

Citing no particular provocation, Trump blithely declared Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro Americas latest mortal enemy. That sort of gratuitousness is brought to you with a shrug by corporate media increasingly committed to a mission of stenography.

The administration has designated Tren de Aragua a foreign terrorist organization which may well be accurate but does not seem to have come with any provable link to Maduro other than rhetorical. Even if true, nothing in U.S. law permits unilateral military action on that ground alone by a U.S. president.

But following the law has always ranked below the bottom of Trumps things to do list in life



Here's how the United States has apparently begun to launch an illegal war almost overnight, without a millisecond of congressional debate. AND with scant attention at best in the news media.

Trumps increasing MENTAL DECLINE disconnects from reality and is back with a vengeance.....



August 8, 2025 Trump designates Tren de Aragua as a foreign terrorist organization under the 2001 AUMF framework.

Late August U.S. naval and marine units mobilize in the southern Caribbean under an anti cartel initiative.

September 2 A U.S. drone strike sinks a speedboat allegedly linked to Tren de Aragua, killing 11. The administration justifies it as a drug interdiction.

September 3, 2025 Venezuelan President Nicol?s Maduro denounces the U.S. strike as a violation of sovereignty, orders militias to mobilize, and warns that Washington is laying the groundwork for regime change.

September 3/4 Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth calls the strike just the beginning. Secretary of State Marco Rubio signals more strikes are being considered.

September 5 Trump orders the Pentagon rebranded as the Department of WAR in communications and signage.


Hegseth becomes Secretary of WAR


September 5/6 Ten F‑35 stealth fighters are deployed to Puerto Rico. Trump publicly states hes weighing strikes inside Venezuela.

Trumps posture toward Maduro wasnt always so hostile. During his first term, he told Axios on June 21, 2020, he was open to meeting with Maduro and even called him very smart.

The timing was just astonishing, especially in todays context.

Trump publicly praised Maduro fewer than three months after his own Department of Justice had issued a press release headlined Nicolas Maduro Moros and 14 Current and Former Venezuelan Officials Charged with Narco Terrorism, Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Criminal Charges





Apparently narco terrorism didnt concern 'KING' Donald the First as much as it seems to concern Donald the Second


Back in 2020, Trump did reverse himself on Twitter, but only after heads exploded among Florida Republicans. Taking issue with fellow strongmen has never ranked as one of Trumps strengths.


Trump has always positioned himself as an isolationist and his repeated campaign pledges of no more endless wars arguably garnered more votes than most analysts credited.

Trump mocked globalist entanglements, vowed to bring troops home and end foreign adventurism.

Congress Kept in The Dark; Bombshell Report Reveals Trumps Covert Operation Greenlit AGAINST North Korea

Donald Trump may have violated the law according to a bombshell report Thursday that revealed the president had personally greenlit a covert military operation targeting North Korea

MSRAW 8 SEP 2025





Trump became the first United States president to set foot in North Korea.....




According to two dozen government officials and military personnel who spoke with the New York Times, Trump had signed off in 2019 on an operation to deploy SEAL Team 6s Red Squadron


The same unit that carried out the 2011 assassination of Osama Bin Laden to the shores of North Korea to plant an electronic device to intercept the communications of its Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un.

The operation was ultimately a failure, not the first by the SAME TEAM, with the operation being compromised by a small boat approaching the teams mini subs.

The team ended up firing upon and killing the boats two to three passengers, later learned to likely be civilians that had been diving for shellfish - DUH.. according to New York Times reporters Dave Philipps and Matthew Cole, who spoke with the officials under the condition of anonymity


And, while the teams actions likely constituted a violation of international law both by the violation of North Koreas sovereignty by crossing into its borders, and the extrajudicial execution of civilians Trumps signing off on the operation may itself have violated the law as well.


The Trump administration did not notify key members of Congress who oversee intelligence operations, BEFORE or after the mission, the report reads. The lack of notification may have violated the law.

The White House declined to comment

The operation took place amid Trumps attempts to broker peace with the East Asian nation, a long time adversary to the United States, in large part for rejecting American influence and instead cozying up to the Soviet Union. In June of that year, Trump became the first United States president to set foot in North Korea in what was a widely covered spectacle at the time.


As to Trumps criminal culpability for greenlighting the operation, Matthew Waxman, a professor at Columbia University, told the New York Times that while some gray area existed for presidents to order covert operations without notifying Congress, in this instance, it was more likely than not that Trumps decision ran afoul of standard protocol.

The point is to ensure that Congress isnt kept in the dark when major stuff is going on, Waxman said







'This is exactly the kind of thing that would normally be briefed to the committees and something the committees would expect to be told about, BUT WERE NOT'
