The MSM strikes again! A reporter contacted the family and friends of drug smugglers killed by the US military while driving fast boats full of drugs. Friends and family all admitted that the dearly departed were running drugs. She discovered that dope smuggling was just a sideline. Actually, they had day jobs. I guess that makes their activities okay.

What a reporter found when she investigated US military strikes on Venezuelan drug boats

Most of the nine men were crewing such craft for the first or second time, making at least $500 per trip, residents and relatives said. The four dead men included a fisherman, a down-on-his-luck bus driver, a former military cadet and a local crime boss. Others included laborers and a motorcycle driver.

This is a classic MSM misdirection play. Trump has labeled the drug cartels as a terrorist organization. By extension anybody supporting or advancing the goals of the terrorist organization is a co-conspirator. Driving a boat loaded with drugs meets the criteria that they were supporting the goals of the cartel. Sucks to be them.

Try hard enough and you can rationalize anything. Here’s a for instance. According to the Holocaust Encyclopedia, three prominent Nazis pursued other occupations prior to starting WWII.

Goebbels obtained a doctorate in German literature from the University of Heidelberg in 1920. He worked as a writer, journalist, and clerk before joining the Nazi Party in 1924.

After the First World War Hermann Goering was employed as a show-flier and a pilot in Denmark and Sweden, where he met his first wife, 

Hitler began to paint watercolor scenes of Vienna, which he initially sold with the help of a business partner.

Hitler and company were responsible for the deaths of eleven million people, (extermination, and collateral damage). When combat casualties are added the total reaches fifty million.

Mao Zedong spent half year he working as a librarian’s assistant. (Encyclopedia Britannica). Mao’s death toll makes the Nazis seem like under achievers. His death toll exceeds forty-five million and may reach seventy million.

I would like to think that even a liberal would draw the line at calling these examples as a journalist, barnstormer pilot, painter and librarian. But I’m probably wrong. No matter how much one despises liberals… it’s not enough.

She neglected to make note of the drug smugglers new occupation, Chum.
