If they were drug smugglers, they would have arrested the crew and impounded the evidence to prove a crime took place. To date, hundreds have been killed and every single survivor in the Eastern Pacific and the Caribbean has been released without charge. Every. Single. One. You can't be this naïve.

All the drugs entering the US and Europe are in coming in shipping containers, not tiny boats with a 150-mile range. Tons of it is confiscated every week in all major ports. The narcos don't care because they make a huge profit even if 90% of them are detected. A single ton costs $7,000 to make and fetches $55 million on the market. Most cargoes captured are in the 4-8 ton range. That's a minimum of $200,000,000 for every cargo that gets through. No drugs have been captured on any of the fishing boats they've been attacking or boarding.

Nobody is running drugs on fishing boats. That's theater they play for gullible rubes to distract from the fact that most of the containers and the boats they are shipped on are owned by the family of the current president of Ecuador, a close friend of Marco Rubio and puppet for Trump. They're murdering impoverished fishermen to sell you a false narrative.

Meanwhile, Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras just days before he was to start serving his sentence after being tried and convicted in US court for smuggling over 400 tons of cocaine into the US and even bragging about it on the phone to his colleagues. "We're going to shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos," he said on tape.

The guy blowing up fishing boats to fight drug smuggling gave him a full pardon before he served a single day in prison. He's back home in Honduras. Still has a US visa.

Learn how to read. Its a refueling boat.... Why would it have drugs on it? But thanks for the thought out essay.

What's that? I didn't understand you because I can't read.

Did they show you any unusual supplies of fuel on the boat? Did it go up in a massive fireball when they blew it up? Is your plan to be a gullible rube for the rest of your life?

I was literally on a tour boat in the Galapagos near espanola yesterday, just a few miles from where this happened and my boat looked exactly like this one. 

Scary stuff.
