Trump Shares Collateral Murder-Style Snuff Film On 15th Anniversary Of Collateral Murder by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):
Even if Trump could mass murder his way into ending the Houthi blockade, that would not be peace - at least not the kind of peace that normal, healthy people care about.
President Trump has posted a video on social media showing a United States airstrike in Yemen killing dozens of people who he claims are "Houthis gathered for instructions on an attack." Trump also bizarrely suggested that Ansar Allah has been sinking United States ships in its Red Sea attacks, writing "They will never sink our ships again!"
There is no public information about any United States ships having been sunk by Houthi attacks. As of this writing there is also no evidence supporting the presidents claim that the people killed in the airstrike were combatants; there are photos online of unarmed Yemeni tribesmen standing in the exact formation seen in the video Trump posted for normal civilian gatherings.
I have seen many observers comparing the video Trump posted to the leaked Collateral Murder video published by WikiLeaks in 2010, which showed United States servicemen firing on Iraqi civilians and journalists from Apache helicopters while laughing and joking about the carnage they were inflicting. What has not received quite enough attention is the fact that Trump actually shared his Collateral Murder-style snuff film on the 15th anniversary of the day WikiLeaks published Collateral Murder.
These Houthis gathered for instructions on an attack. Oops, there will be no attack by these Houthis!
They will never sink our ships again! "please see here:" - Donald J. Trump (realDonaldTrump) April 4, 2025
Within hours of Trumps posting, the WikiLeaks Twitter account tweeted the following:
"On this day in 2010: Collateral Murder. WikiLeaks released a secret United States military video depicting the indiscriminate slaying of over a dozen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad - including two Reuters news staff."
For those who do not know, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was savagely persecuted by the United States government for the information he published in 2010, spending 2012 to 2019 trapped in the Ecuadorian embassy in London under political asylum from United States extradition attempts, and then jailed in a British maximum security prison on a United States extradition warrant from 2019 to 2024 before securing his freedom. It was the first Trump administration who had him dragged from the embassy for the crime of journalism in 2019.
This is just the latest disgusting act of warmongering that Trump has inflicted on Yemen, and as always it is completely unjustifiable. It is obviously idiotic to think bombing Yemen again will bring peace to the region; only a foam-brained moron would believe such a thing. But it is also worse than that, because Trump would not even have any moral legitimacy in bombing Yemen if peace really was his goal.
Yemen is trying to stop an active genocide. That is what its Red Sea blockade has always been about. That is the only reason Ansar Allah has ever attacked ships in the region. Their explicit and publicly stated goal is to exert pressure on Israel and its allies to halt the genocide in Gaza.
Trump has no moral legitimacy in trying to stop Yemen from doing this. The New York Times reports that the Pentagon is telling Congress behind closed doors that Trumps costly war on Yemen is failing to achieve its objectives despite daily airstrikes, but even if Trump was successful in bombing Yemen into submission, all he would be succeeding in doing is removing economic pressure on Israel to end its ongoing mass atrocity. Trump is actually bombing Yemen to defend Israels right to commit genocide.
Even if Trump could mass murder his way into ending the Houthi blockade, that would not be peace - at least not the kind of peace that normal, healthy people care about. It would be the kind of "peace" that exists in a room full of corpses. The kind of "peace" that exists on a slave plantation where all the slaves have been successfully whipped and tortured into obedience.
On this day in 2010: Collateral Murder. WikiLeaks released a secret United States military video depicting the indiscriminate slaying of over a dozen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad - including two Reuters news staff. "please see here:" - WikiLeaks (wikileaks) April 5, 2025
When Trumps supporters babble about "peace through strength", that is what they mean by "peace". When normal, healthy people say peace, they mean the absence of abuse. When empire loyalists say peace, they mean obedience and submission to the empire.
This is what people are saying when they claim "There was a ceasefire on October 6th," implying that there was peace before Hamas launched its attack in 2023. They do not mean the same thing that normal, healthy people mean by peace. Their vision of "peace" was always Palestinians lying down and submitting and slowly getting shuffled out of the way, like the indigenous victims of other western settler-colonialist projects throughout history.
That is not peace. That is just unresisted abuse.
But that is the only kind of "peace" that Trump and his fellow empire managers will ever accept in the middle east. The "peace" of compliance and obedience. The "peace" of prostration before the empire. The kind of "peace" you get when you start murdering everyone in the room until there is nobody left but corpses and those who submit to your will.
This is who these people are. This is the closest thing to "peace" that they will ever allow under their rule!!
