The U. S. "Uninvolved" In Attack??
This photo shows President Donald Trump today -- May 5th, 2020 -- just before he flew on Air Force One to Arizona. Asked about the foiled military attack against Venezuela, Trump had this exact comment: "We'll find out. We just heard about it. But it has nothing to do with our government."
But Trump since January of 2019 has made no secretive about using the U. S. Treasury and Military to oust Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. And, after the avowed regime-change has stalled for months, in the past month Trump has sent a major military force just off Venezuela's northern coast and also placed a $15 million bounty on Maduro's head as a "Drug-Trafficker." Maduro has repeatedly said that Trump's urgency for the regime-change in Venezuela reflects the urgency of "the Miami Cubans to recapture Cuba before Trump comes up for reelection in November. The Miami Cubans totally control Trump and control 90% of the Republican Party in a two-party political system. The Miami Cubans feel they have a golden opportunity to finally get Cuba if they first can execute coups in Nicaragua and Venezuela following their successful coup in Bolivia. It was the Miami Cubans who put right-wing leaders on our borders with Bolsonaro in Brazil and Duque in Colombia. But if they can do that so easily, they probably won't just stop with regaining Havana but will then thirst for Washington. Killing me and controlling Caracas just puts us in the middle of the Miami-Cuba tango, a dance meant to put the Miami Cubans in charge of the big prize -- Superpower America."
When Maduro speaks of "the Miami Cubans" he mostly refers to Mauricio Claver-Carone, Marco Rubio, and Mario Diaz-Balart.
Since what he calls "the U.S. attack Sunday from Colombia that was intended to kill me," Maduro has continuously spoken to the Venezuelan people on television.
On television Maduro identified and showed photos of Airan Berry and Luke Denman, the two U. S. military operatives captured in the assault on the Venezuelan beach 20 miles from Caracas.
The weird, botched attack on Venezuela certainly has both U. S. and Miami fingerprints all over it. Both Maduro and the American, Jordan Goudreau, who devised the attack both agree on that scenario...and moreover they both agree that America's and Miami's chosen Venezuelan opposition President, Juan Guaido, was involved.
Incredibly, former U. S. Green Beret hero Jordan Goudreau and President Maduro fully agree on the U.S., Miami, and Guaido involvement. Goudreau is the founder and leader of Silvercorp USA, a paramilitary group based in Florida. He claims he signed "a contract" with Guaido to overthrow the Maduro government and then began training the army that would do the deed in Colombia, just across Venezuela's eastern border. Goudreau, in a video provided to the media, said Guaido welched on the full payment, but Guaido claims he has never had any involvement with Goudreau or Silvercorp USA.
Maduro claims that Juan Guaido used many phone calls to Miami and to Washington, especially to Miami congressmen Rubio and Diaz-Balart, to solidify his status as the leader of Maduro's opposition. In that manner Guaido by January of 2019 became President Trump's annointed President of Venezuela, with about 60 other countries siding with the USA anointment.
So, while President Trump has hosted Juan Guaido at the White House as well as before Congress during his 2020 State of the Union address, Trump has put a $15 million-dollar bounty on Maduro's head and also deployed a powerful military force in the waters north of Venezuela.
Once anointed by Trump, Juan Guaido has controlled or influenced much of the USA's anti-Maduro dollars and military deployments. Yet, even Latin American nations bowing to U. S. influence and pressure quietly but vividly remember the vile dictators the U. S. has supported and/or installed throughout Latin America -- including Batista in Cuba, Trujillo in the Dominican Republic, Videla in Argentina, Pinochet in Chile, etc., etc. Yet those memories, along with notable questions being bantered around about Guaido personally, don't negate the USA's incomparable economic and military influence in Latin America in the past and today in the Age of Trump.
Even some of the Latin American nations supporting Trump's plans to install Juan Guaido as Venezuela's next President remember back in 1973 when the U. S. installed the murderous General Pinochet as Chile's US-friendly dictator for 17 bloody years, and the U.S. Nixon-Kissinger coup that put Pinochet in place as Chile's blood-thirsty dictator killed Chile's democratically elected President Salvador Allende to make Pinochet's terror-filled reign possible. Of course, the U. S. citizens never held Nixon & Kissinger accountable for Pinochet and, of course, the U. S. citizens will not hold Trump & Rubio & Diaz-Balart accountable for putting Guaido in place as the new leader of Venezuela. The side-by-side photos of Guaido and Pinochet HAVE NO MEANING for Americans but, believe me, they have much meaning to Latin Americans, including those who support Trump and hate Maduro.
Study the Caribbean-Latin American map above. Start at the top with Miami due north of Cuba. Then go down to the lower-left to take note of Nicaragua and then go to the lower-right to note Venezuela. Yes, as long as Trump is President of the United States, Miami has more than enough money and military power to execute the captures, in this order, of Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba. But it will be costly...in blood and dollars...and after the deed is done it will take much more blood and dollars to maintain that dominance for the MANY DECADES THAT WILL FOLLOW.
These are the three current leaders -- Miguel Diaz-Canel, Danny Ortega, and Nicolas Maduro -- that Trump & Miami apparently want overthrown between now and November in Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. It can be done, of course, but the price for this generation of Americans and for future generations of Americans will be enormous.
When/If Diaz-Balart, Rubio, and Trump fulfill their quest to saturate the Caribbean and Latin America with ONLY U.S.-friendly & Miami-friendly leaders, the USA should move its capital from Washington to Miami.
