      Drug Boats BOTG
        Hello
        Adam, as a listener and a fellow Dutchie I thought I might contribute
        and become a producer, my report is about the blowing up of the drug
        boats, because this has been going on for years!
        If
        the full scale invasion of Venezuela hasn't happened yet then this
        might be some welcome information about these operations in the
        Caribbean. As a documentary television filmmaker I was part of the
        making of a series about the Dutch Navy and Coast Guard in the Caribbean
        for National Geographic. It is about protecting the waters around the
        Dutch Antilles. Different subjects in an episode of course, but also a
        lot of drug traffic operations. From the footage provided to us by the
        coastguard and the interviews we have made, I can tell you that the
        Dutch, working together with the US, have had operations in this region
        for probably a decade or longer, decades. Sometimes with extreme
        measures like taking out drugboats with force. Unfortunately we weren't
        allowed to show the blowing up, or machine gunning of drugboats in the
        series due to sensitive nature of the subject in the Netherlands, what
        we did show is that the boats get chased down by fast boats and or
        choppers, they get at least four warnings over the portophone, most give
        up and get boarded and arrested, if they don't stop to get boarded they
        get their engines shot by a marksmen from the chopper, if this
        doesn't work, or they fight back, they get either machine gunned or
        blown up, and that is the last, most extreme measure. But it happens.
        There are also shootings while boarding.
        What
        we see now in the US media, the short clip of blowing up this boat, is
        just the end of a long operation. For instance what we show in the
        series; the Dutch have two spy planes and one is in the air at all time,
        they have a major radar and camera array with different high
        power lenses on board and a FLIR, forward looking infrared system, which
        see the boats leaving Venezuela and follow them into international
        waters. They get information from US satellites which track the movement
        on the beaches of Venezuela and they see the boats get loaded, they
        even have eyes on the shops building the carbon fiber speed boat hulls,
        which they do themselves on the beach. A lot of the time they dump their
        cargo and this gets geo tagged and picked up later to be used as
        evidence. All persons arrested in international waters go to the
        US. These are not fishing boats as suggested. They don't have carbon
        boats with 4 250's. There is a long chain of evidence and a clear
        protocol before action is taken.
        So
        this has been going on during all past US administrations probably all
        the way back to Clinton, so good luck with the illegal orders narrative.
        The only difference is that they are showing the footage now, as a bit
        of a PR stunt. The drugs are mainly for Europe but also for Florida and
        the east coast ports of the US. It's funny because the Dutch left
        biased M5M is nor reporting on this 'scandal' in their usual shouting
        orange man bad fashion, as the usual just type over everything from the
        US. Because we do exactly the same, so do the French and the Brits in
        their Caribbean territories. The Dutch Antilles would be overrun if this
        didn't happen. They already have a major problem with drug crime and
        smuggling in Curacao which has a container terminal and regular flights
        to the Netherlands and is just 65 kilometers from Venezuela.
        Thank you for your attention to this matter.

      Hernandez could be key
        Yes, former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández (JOH) could plausibly have important information on drug cartels, given his extensive involvement in both combating and allegedly facilitating their operations during his tenure from 2014 to 2022. Here's a breakdown based on available reporting and context:
        ### His Role in Anti-Drug Efforts
        - As president, Hernández positioned himself as a key U.S. ally in the "war on drugs." He oversaw the extradition of over two dozen high-profile drug traffickers to the United States, including figures linked to major cartels. This included cooperation with U.S. agencies like the DEA, which would have given him access to intelligence on cartel structures, routes, and leaders in Honduras—a critical transit hub for cocaine from South America to the U.S.
        - His administration conducted drug seizures and operations against cartels, providing him with firsthand knowledge of trafficking networks. His wife and supporters have emphasized that he "did the most for Honduras against organized crime," suggesting he accumulated significant intel through these efforts.
        ### Alleged Ties to Cartels
        - U.S. prosecutors in his 2024 trial presented evidence that Hernández conspired with cartels, including accepting millions in bribes (e.g., $1 million from Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán of the Sinaloa Cartel) to protect cocaine shipments. He allegedly used Honduras's military and police to safeguard drug routes, enabling the flow of over 500 tons of cocaine into the U.S. This level of involvement would inherently give him insider details on cartel operations, including key players, bribery networks, and logistics.
        - His brother, Tony Hernández, was convicted in 2019 of smuggling tons of cocaine and sentenced to life, with evidence linking JOH to the scheme. Prosecutors described Honduras under his rule as a "narco-state," with deep cartel infiltration into government institutions.
        - Some sources suggest he may have served as a U.S. intelligence asset for over 15 years, cooperating with agencies like the DEA, State Department, and CIA while managing cocaine routes—potentially positioning him as a valuable source of cartel intel.
        ### Context of His Pardon and Potential Strategic Value
        - President Trump's December 2025 pardon of Hernández came amid U.S. military actions against drug cartels (e.g., strikes on trafficking boats in the Caribbean). Trump justified it by citing requests from Honduran officials and claims of "unfair political persecution" by drug traffickers and the Biden administration, framing it as a "setup." While no official statements explicitly tie the pardon to extracting cartel information, the timing and Hernández's background raise speculation about his utility in ongoing anti-cartel efforts.
        - Critics argue the pardon contradicts U.S. anti-drug policies, but supporters see it as correcting an injustice against someone who could aid in targeting "actual drug traffickers." Given his dual role—publicly fighting cartels while allegedly aiding them—he could provide unique insights into networks like Sinaloa or Honduran groups.
        In summary, whether through legitimate anti-drug work, alleged corruption, or possible asset status, Hernández's position makes it highly likely he possesses detailed, actionable information on cartel activities. However, there's no public confirmation he's shared such intel post-pardon, and his claims of innocence suggest he views the accusations as fabricated revenge by extradited traffickers.

      Bovaer BOTG
        Sir Twenty-Threes, Knight of the Electric Sea High Peak, UK
        ITM Adam
        I'll
        be upgraded to Baronet this coming Sunday. I wanted to say 'thank you'
        for the recent Bovaer (cattle feed) update but didn't want to make my
        donation note long by including it there.
        Arla
        (the largest supplier of milk in UK supermarkets) began using Bovaer in
        the UK in November 2024. Many people (including myself) contacted the
        supermarket chains here to see which products were affected, but they
        refuse to answer any questions and just refer you to the 'Bovaer
        is safe and effective' statement. We tried raw milk before learning
        that any milk sold as 'organic' here apparently cannot come from herds
        where Bovaer is used.
        Thank you very much for bringing the Denmark information to light. I hope you'll continue to cover this topic on the show.

      Sharia Law - Rob the Constitutional LAwyer
        Adam—You and John have been discussing Sharia law
        in Texas. I barely know anything about Sharia law, but I do know a
        couple of things that you might find enlightening. Bottom line, nothing
        prevents private parties from practicing Sharia law among themselves by
        agreement.
        First, parties can
        agree to be bound by whatever body of law they want, just as long as it
        doesn’t run afoul of a statute or some judicially recognized public
        policy. I’ve litigated contract disputes in which parties in one state
        have agreed to be bound by the laws of another state, or another
        country, or even a set of rules that they negotiate between them (after
        all, this is what a contract is—an agreement to do things in a certain
        way). Next time you sign a contract, look for a “choice of law”
        provision. The odds are good that it will make you subject to the laws
        of another jurisdiction.
        Second,
        parties can also agree to resolve their disputes outside the court
        system. Typically, this takes the form of an arbitration clause—also
        very common, especially in consumer contracts. But “arbitration” can
        take many forms. Judge Judy, The People’s Court, and all these
        pseudo-courtroom shows are essentially arbitration. Sharia-style forums
        are no different, as long as the parties legitimately agree.
        Again,
        there are laws that impose restrictions, especially in the employment
        and consumer contexts where one party wields all the power. But as long
        as an agreement doesn’t run afoul of these laws or a recognized public
        policy, Muslims and non-Muslims alike can agree to be bound by
        Sharia law. This is not the same as enacting city ordinances that
        conflict with Texas or U.S. law—it must be done by private agreement.
        Anyway, I was thinking of this while listening to Episode 1822. Your friends at http://CallTheSuits.com / https://suitsaccidentinjurylawyers.com are here to keep Gitmo Nation informed and on the right side of the law! ⚖🤠

        I received information last night that put the final pieces together for me.
        I now can say with full confidence that I believe Charlie Kirk was betrayed by the leadership of Turning Point USA and some of the very people who eulogized him on stage.
        Yes I will be naming names and providing evidence for my claims.
        And I am making a personal plea to every well-meaning person who donated to this Godforsaken organization to request a refund.
        You were lied to. And leadership knew.

      Livestream with Candace planned
        The livestream we announced on the show Wednesday has been set.
        At 4 pm Eastern, 2 pm local time on Monday, December 15, a collection of Charlie's friends will respond to statements made by
        @RealCandaceO, to set the record straight once and for all prior to the opening of AmericaFest.
        We’ll be live-streaming from Charlie’s Phoenix studio. Our offer from yesterday holds: If Candace wishes to join us in person in Phoenix, she is welcome to do so. She can let us know by the end of today.
      Candace response
        Kind of weird how you didn’t e-mail or call me to ask about times or availability and chose to instead tweet this confirmation out at midnight.
        Why am I learning about this on X?
        December 15th does not work in-person and 2pm PT is also literal time I do my podcast LIVE everyday (which you knew)— but we will happily cancel the daily podcast and will join you guys virtually instead for the livestream on the 15th if that works on your end?
        Let’s lock it in?
    Airbus
      Airbus panel issue
        Some key points:
        - Airbus made a presentation to customers on this matter last week. WSJ asserts they have seen the presentation.
        - Up to 628 jets could have defective panels installed
        - Of those 168 in service, 245 in final assembly, and 215 in earlier stages of production
        - parts were produced by Spain’s Sofitec Aerospace
        - portions of some panels are out-of-spec too thick or too thin
        - too minor a safety issue to warrant any emergency action
        - possibly a too-thin panel which is subsequently thinned by unrelated repair work could pose a decompression risk
        - five panel locations are at hand "that sit on top of the cockpit and either side of the jet’s right and left front doors"

        I thought this was relevant to 'reading clock's and 'florida ounces: two co-workers recently stopped me in the hallway to ask me how to strike matches. "Everytime we try to light them they break", they said. I showed them the proper technique, then stole their matches. They're Zed-adjacent, but intelligent. I feel they should know better, or ' do better'. The fact that they didn't know how to light a match struck me as odd and disturbing.
        So disappointing.

      EUs plans for Russian assets
        ### Recent Developments on EU Decisions Regarding Russian Funds at Euroclear
        As of December 3, 2025, the European Union has not yet made a final decision on the use of approximately €185-194 billion in frozen Russian sovereign assets held at the Belgium-based clearing house Euroclear. However, the European Commission announced plans today to formally present a legal proposal outlining a "reparations loan" scheme. This would enable the EU to borrow up to €140 billion ($162 billion) secured against these assets to support Ukraine's financial and defense needs for 2026-2027, with repayment contingent on Russia providing war reparations. The proposal aims to address Belgium's concerns over legal and financial risks, including potential lawsuits from Russia or Euroclear itself, by distributing liability across all 27 EU member states.
        This move follows delays at previous summits (e.g., October 2025), where Belgium blocked progress due to fears of retaliation and damage to Euroclear's operations. The full scheme is slated for discussion and potential approval at the European Council summit on December 18-19, 2025. Below are key articles published today explaining the context, proposal details, and implications:
        - **EU Moves to Propose Using Russia’s Frozen Assets to Fund Ukraine** (Modern Diplomacy, December 3, 2025)
          This article details the Commission's upcoming legal framework for the reparations loan, emphasizing how it avoids outright confiscation while using the assets as collateral. It highlights Belgium's prior objections due to Euroclear's exposure to litigation risks and notes that the proposal will be adopted this week, with EU countries to review it ahead of the December summit. The piece also discusses broader stakeholder impacts, including potential effects on international financial markets.
        - **Belgium rejects EU plan to use frozen Russian assets for Ukraine** (NPR, December 3, 2025)
          Focusing on Belgium's explicit rejection today of the reparations loan option as "the worst of all" due to unprecedented risks, the article explains the mechanics: The EU would lend Ukraine €140 billion via matured funds from Euroclear, guaranteed collectively, but only if Russia fails to pay reparations. It covers Euroclear's potential legal action against the EU and notes the frozen assets total around €194 billion in Belgium alone. Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot is quoted criticizing the scheme as untested.
        - **Britain wants to force Belgium to steal frozen Russian assets — Russian MFA** (Pravda EN, December 3, 2025)
          From a Russian perspective, this piece reports on the Commission's December 3 financing plan for Ukraine, framing it as an effective seizure of €210 billion in European-frozen Russian assets (including €185 billion at Euroclear). It cites Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova accusing the UK of pressuring Belgium and details how the "reparations loan" would likely never be repaid, violating international law. The article also references expected lawsuits from Russia against the EU, Belgium, and Euroclear.
        These articles represent a mix of Western, neutral, and Russian viewpoints to provide balanced coverage. No outright confiscation has occurred, and the freeze (initially imposed in 2022) remains in place under ongoing EU sanctions, renewed every six months by unanimity. For ongoing updates, monitor official EU channels or the December summit outcomes.
