The drug war of the United States against Venezuela
Recently, the intensity of the operations of the CIA and the DEA (United States Drug Enforcement Administration), aimed at shaping the image of Venezuela as a narcotic state, has noticeably increased. The drug cartels and the media are connected to the operations. The goal of all these activities is to compromise the government of Nicolas Maduro with the subsequent repressive and punitive actions against Venezuela. The Spanish-language channel “Telemundo”, whose headquarters is in Miami, is filming now the Lord of Heaven television series (El Señor de los Cielos). Among his characters is a certain General Diosdado Carreno Arias, whose role is played by Venezuelan actor Franklin Virgues (Franklin Virgüez), who lives there in Miami. The Telemundo commercial for the television series summarized all the attacks on US black propaganda to which Venezuelan Diosdado Cabello, the chairman of the National Assembly of Venezuela, is exposed. Venezuelan politician filed as a seasoned drug trafficker, ready for any crime for profit. In a general's uniform, with a Cuban cigar in his mouth, he utters a monologue about his career in the drug business and unlimited political perspectives.
The critique of the re-equipment of the Venezuelan army, including the use of satellites to control the territory of the country, testifies to the original source of the video. According to the CIA, Venezuela is arming to ensure impunity for drug operations. Diosdado Cabello condemned the smear campaign against him, as well as the leadership of the armed forces and security forces. The attack in the North American media is carried out in a big way: CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX and CNN TV channels, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Washington Post, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times mass distribution newspapers on the topic of corruption Venezuelan military-political leadership.
This hype is accompanied by the dissemination of information that investigations have been instituted in Cabello and his surroundings in the United States. To obtain incriminating materials used deserters from the army, security agencies and security services. Former Venezuelan civil servants who previously collaborated with international drug cartels and then decided to testify to US justice agencies to earn forgiveness are also attracted. Attempts by the CIA and the DEA to provoke Diosdado’s removal from power are simply explained: in his person, President Nicolas Maduro has a reliable ally, his friendship with Hugo Chávez binds them in the strongest way.
Operating, as a rule, with fabricated materials, the US authorities are trying to prove that the “drug supply” from Venezuela poses a serious threat to the security of the United States and other countries of the Western Hemisphere. However, drug trafficking experts are aware that drug cartels use sparsely populated areas of Venezuela to transit hallucinogens. A few days ago in the coastal waters of Colombia discovered the wreckage of the aircraft Hawker 800. According to Reuters, a plane carrying a load of cocaine was launched from Venezuelan territory, heading for one of the countries of Central America, and for unknown reasons crashed into the Caribbean off the Colombian coast. In just a few hours, Vladimir Padrino Lopez, Minister of Defense of Venezuela, spoke on this issue and pointed out elements of “tendentiousness and manipulation” in covering this event by Reuters.
The Venezuelan minister said that Hawker 800 was detected by the country's air defense system immediately after crossing the border. In accordance with the current law on the integral defense of airspace (Ley de Control de Defensa Integral del Espacio Aéreo), the prosecution of the intruder was organized in order to neutralize it.
In recent years, the pilots of the Venezuelan Air Force shot down 90 drug planes, prevented the transfer of at least 190 tons of cocaine and other hallucinogenic materials, and disrupted illegal runways to 500. Both the drug cartel leaders and the DEA leadership are well aware of this. However, attempts to verify the state of the "integral defense" of Venezuela do not stop.
At this time, the violators tried to deceive the Venezuelan pilots: they landed in the border state of Apure allegedly for inspection, and then took off again. Venezuelan pilots opened fire to kill, damaged one of the turbines of the aircraft, which at low-altitude flight went towards the Colombian border.
Venezuela has the most problems with Colombian and Mexican drug cartels. Opposition to them from the CIA and the DEA is more like a pop number with "Nanai boys", so intertwined are the interests of the special services and drug cartels. Tons of cocaine produced in laboratories in Colombia are shipped to Venezuela and transported to their destination in small planes, the localization of which even with the help of modern controls is not an easy task. According to the Venezuelan intelligence services, in the United States operates an illegal market for such aircraft, which are abducted in various countries of Latin America or the Caribbean, are distilled in the United States, where they repaint and receive new documentation. Often lighted planes of the CIA and DEA are subject to such cosmetic re-registration.
The Mexican newspaper La Hornada recently published an article called “DEA: Scandal and Double Morality,” which states that the “dividing line” between those in the US who are fighting drug trafficking and the criminals they pursue is allegedly “very thin.” . The scandals with the DEA operatives who have fun in companies with drug traffickers are constantly shaking this organization. Even according to official information, the drug barons used at least ten DEA staff members as informants. There are quite a few cases when the retirees of the DEA started working on drug cartels. A month ago, due to disclosures of corruption in the DEA, the director of this service, Michele Leonhart, was forced to resign.
About criminal acts DEA becomes known more and more. Documented evidence of the sale of modern weapons drug cartels in Mexico and Central America. In 2014, in this region, more than 20 thousand firearms made in USA were seized from drug cartel militants. There are numerous facts of drug money laundering by agents of DEA. Of these secret multimillion-dollar funds, operations in “hostile countries” are funded, to which, in addition to Venezuela, the Obama administration classifies Ecuador, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Argentina and, without any doubt, Brazil. The leaders of these countries wisely distanced themselves from the foreign policy adventures of Bush Jr. and Obama. As a result, dirty technologies of compromise, accusations of corruption, illegal enrichment, harassment of journalists and opposition members were used against them.
Another operation of the CIA in the framework of the Venezuelan Government and Drug Trafficking project was the publication of the book Boomerang Chavez. Its author, Emil J. Blasco, is a correspondent for the Spanish newspaper ABC in Washington. It is known that the American special services resort to the services of Blasco to announce targeted information, including stuffing compromising information on unwanted persons. The book uses Blasco’s conversations with Limsey Salazar, a Venezuelan military who was related to the presidential security service. Salazar was a member of the guards of Hugo Chávez, Nicolas Maduro, Diosdado Cabello, but he decided to desert. At first he was in Spain, then he was transported to the United States as a “specially protected witness.” It is assumed that he will become a key witness in the process against the "drug operations" of the Venezuelan leadership.
Virtually everything that Salazar told journalist Blasco represents black propaganda distributed through the CIA and DEA. In particular, the former guard said that “Comandante Chavez personally discussed with the FARC leaders in 2006 or 2007 a deal to get drugs for weapons and military equipment, with which [partisans] could fight the Colombian government.” After the revelations of this kind of Salasar can not believe in anything.
According to the data available to the Venezuelan special services, Limcy Salazar, during his work in the defense of Hugo Chávez, began to cooperate with the CIA. Journalist Juan Martorano does not even rule out that it was Salazar who was involved in the organization of the killing of Chávez.
