Term coined by whistleblowers Cian Westmoreland and Lisa Ling, the Kill Cloud is a warfare apparatus that stretches through sea, land, air, space and cyberspace. It involves commercial operators and platforms as well as technical assets ultimately impacting and harming the Global Majority.

It wasn't a drug boat, they bombed a migrant vessel with a drone. They've presented zero evidence to the contrary. Either way, they could have interdicted them. This was a violation of international law.

This guy in this video is my friend, his name is Sean Dunn. He is a USAF Afghan war veteran. We were in Korea, Germany, Belgium and New Mexico together. He is facing serious time for hitting an ICE agent with a Subway sandwich during Trump's overthrow of DC. They will try to make an example of him.
