But in the process of preparing this dangerous crime sheds light big investigation, published by the American Agency Associated Press. It also talks about the role played by the Venezuelan opposition, ignoring the impending invasion of their own country and retired us military elite special forces.
However, everything in order.
the plans for the invasion began immediately after the failed April 30, 2019 attempted uprising, the military units of the air force of Venezuela in the center of Caracas. Then allegiance to the President-the pretender Joan Guido swore several soldiers, however, to raise a mass uprising failed. Many participants, in vain believed in Guido simply were forced to flee the country. In the Venezuelan realities of the path actually one in all a friendly, spoke out against Maduro, Colombia. In fact, after some time in the country’s capital in Bogota – met all sorts of Venezuelan deserters, dissidents, opposition, and also simply not indifferent people, ready to earn on a popular theme Venezuela. The place chosen suitable luxury JW Marriott hotel.
Among those present was Jordan Goodro, 43-year-old American, retired military, three times awarded a Bronze star – the fourth-highest combat award of the US – for showing in the United States and Afghanistan, the courage and heroism. Knowledgeable Goodro describe it as exceptional military professional, a brilliant arrow, perfectly owning besides martial arts. No wonder service, he took in the elite special forces – the special Forces of the US Army. In retirement, he is gone in 2016 and worked in private security companies in Puerto Rico. And in 2018 he founded his own PMC Silvercorp USA.
Venezuela has attracted the attention of Hudro in February 2019. Then he worked providing security for the concert that billionaire Richard Branson, organized by the Venezuelan-Colombian border for advertising another attempt to overthrow Maduro – then under the guise of “humanitarian aid”.
Apparently, it was then Hudro and imbued with the idea of a “small victorious war” to offset the Maduro. His partners in Silvercorp tell you that last autumn he began to collect funds for his venture, as well as to get acquainted with interested in his people. So at one of the events in Washington, he came to Leicester Toledo, who at that time was the assistant of Guido for the delivery of humanitarian aid. And that’s Toledo in the end presented Goodro another key figure in the failed plot is Cleaver Alcalá.
this man should tell us more. Alkali – a former General of the army of Venezuela. He participated in sports.AI 1992, fighting shoulder to shoulder with Hugo Chavez. But after he resigned in 2013, began to criticize the government, and soon all fled the country. Eventually he settled in Colombia, where, in fact, became the unofficial leader of all the Venezuelan deserters. In 2019, after trying Guide to take power in Venezuela in their hands, alkali immediately supported the opposition. Acting apparently on the principle “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”. But this did not prevent the former General from persecution from the US. In 2011, he was charged with the transfer of the missiles surface-to-air Colombian rebels from the FARC in exchange for cocaine. And in 2020, the Americans put up a reward of $ 10 million for information about him. Alkali did not tempt fate and test how the Colombians need the money and preferred to give up and it is now awaiting trial under arrest in new York.
But that was then, in 2019, cleaver alkali longed for the overthrow of Maduro. In the same hotel JW Marriott, he told Toledo and Gudra that has picked up 300 people, mainly from among those deserters of the Venezuelan army, which the opposition promised mountains of gold for an uprising against the government, and then just abandoned to their fate. Gadro offered to prepare these people, the parties discussed and necessary for the operation of the weapon. The budget was about $ 1.5 million.
Soon Hudro returned to Colombia, accompanied by his four companions, all of them are combat veterans, and training began. She was in special camps in North-Eastern Colombia, where conditions were Spartan. The question of ammunition came seriously. In the list of required equipment was listed 320 assault rifles M4, Bazooka, military Zodiac boats, night vision devices of the last generation, and $ 1 million in cash. Daily training under the guidance of experienced mentors in the past members of the elite units of the US army, continued.
All this took place with the complete connivance of the Colombian law enforcement authorities. Although once the police and detained the truck, the eyeballs stuffed with weapons and military ammunition. The total value of the seized amounted to 150 thousand dollars, however, the idea Goodro this incident has not stopped.
the Plan was simple, but no less dangerous. 300 heavily armed mercenaries are entering the territory of Venezuela from the North. Then attacked military bases, is a popular uprising that ends with the arrest of President Nicolas Maduro. Training with him was normal, but on March 27, one of the leaders of the conspiracy – jib alkali – surrendered to us authorities. It would seem that the danger of this invasion to Venezuela passed. But, as it turned out, the attempt landing ��and Venezuelan land was taken. At the moment we know only about eight of the dead mercenaries, and two more were arrested. Venezuelan authorities continue to investigate and, of course, soon there will be additional details that shed light on the failed operation.
the AP Journalists had failed to establish the participation of the American authorities in the preparation of the failed invasion. Anyway, about the plans of the conspirators in Washington was well aware. Were aware of it and the Colombian authorities but also by the Venezuelan opposition, whose representatives and “brought” Hudro with Alkali.
back in June last year, the jib Alcala met with the leadership of the National Directorate of intelligence of Colombia, where he presented his plan and asked for support. There he boasted of his connections with Gudro, calling him a CIA agent. The AP source said that when the Colombians requested information on Hudro in American intelligence, where they said that the former green beret was never their agent. Thus, it remains unclear where in this case alkali and Hudro found the necessary funds to buy expensive weapons.
whatever it was, historical analogies suggest themselves. Very similar in its core operation, albeit much larger, occurred in April 1961. Then the US government has trained about 1,500 soldiers in Guatemala for an invasion of Cuba. However, despite the support of the U.S. air force, the invaders was completely defeated, and the failed landing at the Bay of Pigs became one of the major military victories of the Cuban revolution. In the failed landing in Venezuela on the direct involvement of the US authorities is not known, however, this does not mean that it was not. After all, 60 years since an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow Castro, the Americans were able to draw conclusions.
