C’est n’es pas de la Harina Pan.
As you know, an enormous haul of cocaine made its way into an Air France 777 A340 that flew from Caracas to Paris last week. While a few low-ranking National Guardsmen have supposedly been detained, I await with short breath to hear which Cubans will fall on their sword for this one.
It has long been suspected that Cuban intelligence operatives are in control of key aspects of Venezuelan infrastructure, notably the International Airport. If we believe this is true, then the French drug haul is as much their responsability as it is the National Guard’s.
There have long been reports that Cuba is involved in drug smuggling. You wouldn’t expect anything less from a government whose key international ally is the FARC. It is not surprising that an airport essentially run by Cuban operatives is a major shipping point for cocaine into Europe.
Ultimately, folks, the problem is not just that we’re governed by a narco-state. The problem is that we’re run by two of them.

“Governed”, you are too generous. This government is screwing the country, not “governing” it.

More have been arrested. Communicational Hegonomy thread link to SIBCI Sept 24:
The following have been arrested:
Commenter Skywalker, several comments above my comment, listed
So, they have gotten someone higher up, but commenter Luke points out that Carvajal is “antiChavista” which probably means he is a fall guy.
SIBCI has an article today [9/25] on arrests, but it pretty much repeats the article of 9/24 which I am citing.

As I mentioned somewhere else, it would be interesting to find out the likelihood that a Chavista and an oppo will be detained. Bayes would do the trick.
I can get the ID’s of all those guys. Does anyone have the Maisanta data base?

Maisantsa info on Lt. Colonel Ernesto Jose Mora Carvajal: Cedula 7966768, Did not abstain and did not vote against El Presidente. Compare to what commenter
Lukehad to say about him:
.So, there is contradictory information on Carvajal.

Let’s stop using the word “govern” and instead “control” which is effectively happening.

C’est ne pas de la Harina Pan is priceless-really. I am always amazed at the ” chispa” that is always there no matter what disaster is happening: toilet paper crises, Maduro Malapropisms,etc.

Dear Madame, It’s a merely not-so-veiled reference to he local state of affairs, “Il n’y a pas de Harina Pan”, duly tongue-in-cheeled, natch.

The Cubans were involved. Today it’s Venezuelan miltiary officers who are moving and storing cocaine in Cuba. Cubans are in it too but this is not a Cuban thing. You give the Cubans too much credit. This does not go to Raul…they learned their lesson.

correction: the cubans are not involved (IMO)
