Washington Clowns Put a $15 Million Bounty on Maduro for ‘Devastating American Communities With Cocaine’

Really, with cocaine?

In a major escalation of US regime change efforts in Venezuela, the US Department of Justice announced Thursday that it is charging Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and other government officials with “narco-terrorism.”

The DOJ placed a $15 million bounty on Maduro’s head, offering that money for any information that leads to his arrest, and the DEA put up a wanted poster on its website.

The allegation from the DOJ is that Maduro and his circle have worked with Colombia’s FARC group to traffic cocaine to the US, or use “cocaine as a weapon against America” as the indictment puts it. What this looks like is just another attempt at regime change in Venezuela while the world is dealing with a global pandemic.

The Trump administration has backed Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido since he declared himself president back in January 2019. Guaido failed to gain the support of the people or the military of Venezuela, and over a year later, Maduro still holds power in Caracas.

Some analysts fear the indictment could be the pretext for a Panama-style invasion of Venezuela.

In 1989, the US invaded Panama to take out former CIA asset Manuel Noriega under the guise of drug trafficking charges.

Since 2017, the US has instilled crippling economic sanctions on Venezuela to pressure the Maduro government. As always, US sanctions are hurting the civilian population more than the government, and with Venezuela now reporting 107 confirmed cases of coronavirus, people fear the sanctions will hamper the country’s response.

In April 2019, the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) released a report that concluded those sanctions played a role in 40,000 Venezuelan deaths from 2017-2018. The report explains how the sanctions have caused shortages of medical supplies. Alfred de Zayas, a former UN rapporteur on human rights, believes US sanctions have now played a role in around 100,000 deaths in Venezuela.

    It’s going to be so funny to see all the brainwashed sheeple on A-E finally get what they want, a desperate, maniacal cabal, on the brink of financial ruin…armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons…soon go BOOM! Do all the idiots wishing this on the world really think they will be safe in their little shitholes?

    What way does this work ? Even the dogs in the street know that the CIA and perhaps a few more of America’s alphabet “security services” are the biggest drug dealers on the planet. Do they sell the drugs to the Venezuelan government, then they, under licence from America, sell these drugs back to America. That psychopathic, amoral, demonic cesspit, masquerading as a Christian country, needs to be brought to its knees….it’s happening, but not quickly enough !!

      Absolutely right! CIA used the Afghanistan poppy fields (making cocaine) as
      their bank…selling cocaine in the US as well as all over the globe – to finance its
      covert operations…. This is what the US govt does: while a huge disaster is in place (covid 19 at this time), it does all of its criminal activity thinking no one notices. Well, we do notice and care. We can only hope that Russia as well as China step up to bat to protect Maduro and his cabinet from the invaders/occupiers who dearly want Veneuela’s oil. And they are so ballsy that they are doing it with great transparency….they are too bold and should be kicked down to the level they deserve. Gutter level.

          Doesn’t take away from the fact that the CIA, an arm of the American government is the biggest drug and gun dealers on the planet !

            true, yet the plants are as different as night and day😉
            I admit i believed it was common knowledge and my answer a bit snarky bc off it😂

        Mary, America went bankrupt on Feb 16th, the purse is empty, Fort Knox is empty, China will not sell America any more produce unless paid in hard currency (definitely not toilet paper dollars ). The Fed can print all the toy money they want, but in 6 months time, worldwide, the dollar will be valueless. The shale oil scam is fecked, Russia can sit and twiddle its thumbs…it had waited and prepared for this day for a long time….from Christmas 1991 to be precise !

    If it was for cocaine, Bush and Clinton would have been in jail too, for Iran-Contra. Oh, I forgot, only people outside of the US are drug dealers
