This is a serious situation. All hands on deck as they say.

a reply to: Onlyyouknow

I'll throw this in as well..

From the U.S. Could be MSM coming to cover a story, or more.

Serious yes, but this has been years in the making now.
My point is everyone says to follow the money. If you don't want to leave a paper or digital banking trail, take a plane or boat and do it in person.

Years in the making, absolutely. I completely agree with you.
This is unrelated to our conversation; however this is a recent article about coc aine supply routes from Columbia to Venezuela where planes are disposable(one use) due to how lucrative the market for coc aine is.


www.cnn.com... aine-trafficking-intl/index.html

"Colombia and Honduras (CNN)Cocaine trafficking from Venezuela to the United States is soaring, even as the country collapses. And US and other regional officials say it's Venezuela's own military and political elite who are facilitating the passage of drugs in and out of the country on hundreds of tiny, unmarked planes.

A months-long CNN investigation traced the northward route of coc aine from the farmlands where much of it is grown in Colombia, and found that the number of suspected drug flights from Venezuela has risen from about two flights per week in 2017 to nearly daily in 2018, according to one US official. This year, the same official has seen as many as five nighttime flights in the sky at once.
Planes loaded with Colombian coc aine used to depart from Venezuela's remote southern jungle regions. Now they take off from the country's more developed northwest region to reduce their flying time, US and regional officials also said.
Officials involved in combating the deadly trade describe a ridiculously profitable courier system for the Venezuelan government. "Drug smugglers are more and more exploiting the complicity of Venezuelan authorities, and more recently the vacuum of power," said one US official. Every shipment of coc aine from South America is so lucrative that the planes flown by traffickers are cheap in comparison; most are used only once and then discarded or set on fire upon arrival."

Venezuela has 25,000 Cubans who are loyal communists and are helping the Chavistas with how to better run a socialist dictatorship. There is an Iranian presence, the Chinese are there, the Russians are there, and there are terrorist organizations in Venezuela which Chavez and now Maduro are helping.

At the end of the day, the evil, brutal dictator Maduro put down a military coup with rubber bullets.

Just saying.

Sorry to disappoint you guys.

So you are sure it is all over? Also may I ask who is supposed to be disappointed? You seem to be making assumptions about several things while still being condescending. Do you have some sort of problem?

Wrong, that's another lie form Maduro. He does not have the support, or the respect from most of the Venezuelan forces. It was so bad that Maduro had a flight ready to escape to Havana, Cuba.

BTW, people are still rioting over there.

Maduro declares victory

Victory over Coup plotters and announces criminal prosecutions for rebellion

And what did Guaido do? He told the people to go out on the streets where he knew the Maduro loyal troops would take no prisoners. Even before he is in power he shows he doesn't give a flying # about the wellbeing of the people.

Plus he has really too close ties to the USA to not raise suspicions. He is a capitalist economy guy with close ties to the interamerican Bank for development (or similiar) that screams ideological proxy war. And to claim it's about the people is just sad. China and Russia won't take that quietly and this will make things just worse and probably go on for years.

If the majority of the people would want to get rid of Maduro they could have done it by making general strikes and just ignore their officials until they make sure he is gone. Stop paying taxes, strike, block the key industries... the fact that they didn't do that just shows it's really a 50/50 situation and in no way can the statement "the people of Venezuela want X" be made with a straight face.

Would you move to China or Russia? Looks like you're happy with their "democracy" and economy.

I am quoting myself like a goofball because it seems the CNN link is now not available. Here is another that relays the same information:

Is their not a large swath of people who contend that this is CIA backed?

I'm sure that Maduro was KGB backed. Where were you back then?

Now this link is "page not found" also. I don't understand why, I am not talking about using the drug coc aine. I am just linking to MSM articles that are reporting on the disposable planes used in the supply routes from Columbia to Venezuela.

Sorry everyone for the bizarre broken links; saying goodnight now.

For crying out loud.

Here is one source.

Pompeo: Maduro set to leave for Cuba until dissuaded by Russia

I have seen and experienced first hand how socialists/communist dictators LIE meanwhile the opposite of what they claim is most often what is really happening.

If it had been a "small coup" they wouldn't have had the need to completely shutdown Twitter/social media...

There is no reason for Pompeo to lie. There is every reason for Maduro to lie as he always does.

Maduro is losing support and power and he knows it. But he has to try to dissuade Venezuelans from joining the "coup." I am not the one "laping that sh!t up like kool-aid..." Do you like to believe socialist dictators who shut down all independent media that is not state controlled, and suppress the people by any means necessary?

a reply to: Bone75

May I ask why you are portraying Maduro as a good guy? Do you think he is doing the right thing?
