Today, The New York Times published a story on the new charges laid by the DOJ against embattled Venezuelan president Nicholas Maduro, "Venezuelan Leader Maduro Is Charged in the U.S. With Drug Trafficking".
Federal prosecutors accused President Nicolás Maduro of participating in a narco-terrorism conspiracy, in a major escalation of the Trump administration’s efforts to pressure him to leave office.
Do you remember when the US used this pretext of a Latin-American president trafficking in drugs to attack Panama in December 1989 and abduct it's President Manuel Noriega ? Until a few years ago Noriega, the scorned Ally and asset,had been rotting away for decades in an American prison. Fate intervened and after decades he has died in prison.
But just who is the "international criminal" ? A little international US caper would be a great diversion for the US Ruling Class right now as corona virus-19 causes public outrage against Washington and a financial collapse ?
Manuel Noriega and George HW Bush in days of collaboration
Note that Panama's President Noriega had been a CIA Asset for a long time from his early 20's when he'd been a young Panamanian military man, to his days as a politician and eventual president. But a fall-guy was needed in DC The Senate was pressed to investigate doings with international Drug & Arms muck adherent to the carcass of the Empire 1.
So he was abruptly cut away from the Just and outed as long involved in the cocaine trade. The fact that the USA was through the CIA secretly importing cocaine into Los Angeles via Colonel Oliver North and Vice President George H W Bush and thereby diffused Crack through the US Black urban underclass was of no relevance or pertinence, since America is the global Overlord: policeman, legislator, Judge and Jury.
