Venezuela Situation: US Declares War on 'Narco-Terrorism'

That makes sense, but I think it would be unlikely that the government doesn't know about the various criminal groups. The government would also have an interest in not advertising the reality of the drug-smuggling operations by publicizing the fact that many poor Venezuelans either choose or are coerced into working for drug traffickers.

That's exactly how you mention it. The government of course knows everything just think wrong and you will be right, very simple: "as long as no one is watching, nothing has happened." The problem too is not "knowing" it is locating them, especially when there are high positions involved, even mayors, governors and other networks, which do not necessarily have to be from the political opposition.

And if the population of that area, benefits from it, Stockholm syndrome.

Therefore, there are also Venezuelans who are captured and probably even killed by the same state security agencies in some confrontation in the various operations they carry out. I'm sure they're going to want to control that information and even be selective with families now.

So basically the CIA.

Yes, just doing a simple search for Carvajal, he strikes me as another one of those guys in Venezuela who push the US narrative to give it some legitimacy. He's being quoted all over the MSM in the US as saying that there's drugs and weaponized gangs and so on. He's the guy that the media can point to and say "see? it's Venezuelans themselves saying it, not us..." Which is also a very old trick.

Not saying that Maduro is some sort of saint, he's not. But ironically, Chavez and then Maduro represent to Venezuelan people what Trump does for the working class citizens of the US a political leader that they feel connected with and not a distant carrier politician who plays the game of the deep state, even if it hadn't been articulated as such back when Chavez became president.

For further extorsions or negotiations, whatever is called when ever is needed?

Like a double agent?, maybe or maybe he just wanted to play spies on his own because of his position. That is to say, this guy participated in very shady things both on one side and on the other. If he was captured in Spain, he would negotiate with Spain, and so on. The more information he could get, that would be his your currency of exchange when he was accused of something, outside or inside the country, but always waiting to be rescued by the USA.

He doesn't seem like someone very intelligent to me. That kind of "quack made in Venezuela" there are many.

As it has also been shown that historically, there are guys playing for both sides. Carvajal could easily only tell those interested in Venezuela, a single part of the truth, which is convenient to also take care of their back. Especially if those involved in Venezuela do not know the true scope of the machine they have to be implicated later without knowing how.

Besides, as Beau suggests, it must be investigated thoroughly, sif they can know something, even if they are not the ones directly involved, but for 5 minutes of fame.

Typical corrupt drama. The only heaven he has earned, has been to fly to the United States by the intelligence of Spain.

"I am writing to atone for my sins by telling the whole truth, so that America can protect itself from the dangers I witnessed for so many years".

EE.UU, doesn't need to be "saved" by this guy.

Information is power and this man does business with it. We just don't know what percentage of lie and truth mix to create something believable. And in the United States they do that too, they create something "believable enough" to be able to act. Besides, all these guys always go to live in Spain first. So the Pollo was sold by their own bosses. He started "collaborating" with the USA, only after he was captured.

But!, Rome does not pay traitors.

Putting aside all the paraphernalia about the Aragua train and the Cartel of the suns, which is more than all the sensationalism that has been more publicly accepted, he says interesting things that if they are not exposed, I think it is because it also serves the United States to use it against others because in the hypothetical case that Trump or any president in the United States or another country, knows the extent of easily inducing in the world manipulating the votes, I don't think he would be so foolish as to remove these machines and make the world a more "democratic and transparent" place.

I do not rule out that I may know important things, it was not two days in the government and if even someone like me has been able to know sensitive things because precisely, who works for the government, sooner or later knows things before they explode, I cannot doubt even these guys.

But so far, it just looks like a chicken that couldn't escape the plucker, and tries to save its neck.
