Why is dictator Maduro so interested in Venezuela's 'Tren de Aragua' gang activity in the U.S.?
American Thinker ^ | 7 Aug, 2024 | Monica Showalter

A screenshot taken from a television broadcast showed one Chavista operative sending all the latest news about Tren de Aragua's mayhem in the U.S. to Maduro himself.

Venezuela's democratic forces are a pretty observant lot, having spotted evidence of fraud in some background pictures of the regime's vote-counting houses as employees took selfies.

Now, one of them has spotted something interesting on dictator Nicolas Maduro's cell phone as he made a televised speech, in a whatsapp message from one of his closest lieutenants:

The Whatsapp text from Jorge Arreaza (Regime Member) reads: “EFE. Colorado is in alert…”

The picture is the actual article mentioned in the conversation that reads: “Colorado is in alert over threat of the Venezuelan gang the “Aragua Train””.

In other words, the Venezuelan regime is tracking American news and gang member activities from Venezuelans crossing the southern border illegally. Why? I will let you guys connect the dots…

Arreaza is Hugo Chavez's son-in-law, and a trusted Chavista confidante, having held positions such as foreign minister, minister of science and technology, and vice president. During Chavez's final illness at the hands of Castrocare, he served as the unofficial spokesman for the Chavez family.

He's almost certainly a fluent English speaker, having gotten his master's degree in European Policy Studies at Cambridge University, in the U.K.

He's also one of those guys who got himself sanctioned, during the Trump administration, cutting off his access to U.S. banking.

Obviously he gets a cut of all criminal activity.

I think you’re right on the shock troops as well.

Selling drugs and sending it back to Madura. He uses the money to buy the loyalty of the military.

From wiki:

Arreaza has dismissed the opposition criticisms that the government is using the army to promote an ideology, which is against the 1999 constitution, saying “the military are Chávez-militants who will guarantee the socialist model in Venezuela”

He’s right. And more enraging to the US deep state and its tendrils in FR . . . they are the majority. The poor vote and they outnumber the “business leaders” and anti communists.

If a majority prefers socialism, then that’s that.

Because he cleared out Venezuelan prisons, sent them to the USA, and gets huge “remissions” back to his socialist s hole.

20 million illegals in the USA is a great cover for all countries to send in secret agents, saboteurs and illicit drug-distributors

You guys beat me to it.

My first thought at reading the headline: “Why?”... because he gets his ‘Big Guy’s 10%’.

I believe both are true and that he’s afraid they’ll trace it all back to him and take action.

Possible.

The Global Homogeneity project is recruiting from US prisons, why not from ones in Venezuela? It would fit with their goals of breaking down community cohesion.

Kamala was solving the root cause. Someone could ask her.

Aragua state, from which these bass turds come, was and perhaps still is governed by Tareck El Aissami.

The state Governor, Tareck El Aissami, is connecred to Hezbollah.

You might note the similar tactics of Iran regime muscle and Venezuelan regime muscle using gangs with mopeds to carry out crime and acts of intimidation to keep their gang turf under control.
