Evidence Emerges on DEA Conspiracy in Venezuela
It didn’t take long for the Venezuelan government’s accusations against some U.S. government agencies for conspiratorial activities to be corroborated. Specifically, The Associated Press (AP) has recently published an article with evidence of espionage activities in our country by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).
The text refers to a confidential memo obtained detailing a year-long undercover operation intended to build drug trafficking cases against the country’s leaders. The note points out that the intention would clearly constitute a flagrant violation of international law by the DEA, and consequently by the United States against Venezuela.
The plan, carried out in 2018, consisted of sending undercover agents to surreptitiously record and mount drug trafficking allegations against government authorities in Venezuela, including President Nicolás Maduro. This is part of an expansion of “Operation Money Badger,” an initiative created in 2013 to investigate fellow nationals.
Venezuela Rejects External Threats and Guarantees Electoral Schedule

This tactic has been evident in the recent decision to reimpose sanctions in response to the disqualification of María Corina Machado. Despite the narrative that is being constructed in the media, it is important to note that the Venezuelan State has not failed to comply with the provisions of the Barbados Agreements during the process of reviewing the disqualifications.

The second stage, he explained, is focused on the last 10 years of the Revolution, which began with the sanctions, the economic and financial blockade imposed by the United States (US) as well as the resistance of the Venezuelan people to confront this scourge.

Cabello: There is an international campaign against Commander Chávez
From the Mountain Barracks, the socialist leader highlighted the total dedication that the Eternal Commander Hugo Chavez had towards the people and the Homeland.
The national and international right wing is carrying out a smear campaign against the figure of the Supreme Commander, Hugo Chávez Frías, to try to erase what he represents for this country and the world, said the first vice president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello.
“Chávez is a moral and ethical reference and with it the Bolivarian Revolution and the people of Venezuela without whom we would have been able to do absolutely nothing. Imperialism has a fixation against Venezuela, that is why I ask for the same thing as Commander Chavez, unity,” Cabello said during the commemorative events of the 34th anniversary of the popular revolt of February 4.
On the other hand, he highlighted the anti-imperialist and patriotic character of the Venezuelan people and its Bolivarian National Armed Forces, while recalling the heroic deed of February 23, 2019 when in perfect civic-military union our country was prevented from being invaded from Colombia.
He also recognized all the effort made in recent years by President Nicolás Maduro to, despite sanctions and constant sabotage, move the country forward and guarantee care for the people. “How many storms has President Nicolás Maduro had to face, without despair. It’s very easy to criticize, but you have to be there to make decisions, to move forward,” he emphasized.
