Everlasting Life
By grace, through faith in Jesus
Hugo Carvajal Barrios, the former Venezuelan intelligence chief known as “El Pollo,” has issued an explosive letter from a U.S. federal prison alleging that Nicolás Maduro’s government systematically used drug trafficking, criminal gangs, espionage networks, and even electoral technology as tools to undermine the United States. The 10-page statement, addressed to “President Trump and the People of the United States,” asserts that Venezuela’s ruling elite operates as a “narco-terrorist organization” with global reach and explicit anti-American intent.
Carvajal, a three-star general who served as Director of Military Intelligence under both Hugo Chávez and Maduro, writes that he is now “sitting in an American prison because I voluntarily plead guilty to the crimes charged against me: a narco-terrorism conspiracy.” He frames the letter not as a political intervention but as an act of accountability: a decision, he says, to reveal “the full truth so that the United States can protect itself from the dangers witnessed for so many years.”
Having broken publicly with the Maduro government in 2017, Carvajal fled Venezuela and was later extradited to the United States. He insists that even as he knew he faced prosecution, he acted “with the strongest conviction to dismantle Maduro’s criminal regime and bring freedom to my country.” Today, he writes, he believes it is essential to warn Americans about “the reality of what the Venezuelan regime truly is and why President Trump’s policies are not only correct, but absolutely necessary to the United States’ national security.”
Carvajal accuses Maduro and ruling party strongman Diosdado Cabello of transforming the Venezuelan state into a criminal consortium dedicated to drug trafficking. “I personally witnessed how Hugo Chávez’s government became a criminal organization that is now run by Nicolás Maduro, Diosdado Cabello, and other senior regime officials,” he states. The purpose of this network—known internationally as the Cartel de los Soles—was, he claims, “to weaponize drugs against the United States.”.....
I would recommend reading all this article. I found this after reading this other article commenting on the above letter:
Maduro’s Ex-Insider Turns Snitch, Sends Trump an Explosive Letter
Marco Rubio discusses Maduro's regime and its threats to the U.S. in a recent interview.

...Rubio responded by saying, "No… what the President has authorized is a counter-drug mission in the region." He then went on to explain that Nicolás Maduro's regime is not a legitimate government, but a narco-terrorist organization...
.....He added, "In addition to that, the Venezuelan regime is a source of instability in the entire region. Over 8 million Venezuelans have flooded into neighboring countries as a result of the regime’s activities within their own country, including into the United States. They also happen to be the foothold of Iran. That’s not spoken about enough. Iran, its IRGC, and even Hizballah has a presence in South America, and one of their anchor presence – especially for the Iranians – is inside of Venezuela. So we just finished talking about Iran and the hostility it has towards the United States. Where they have planted their flag in our hemisphere is on Venezuelan territory, with the full and open cooperation of that regime."
I'd also add that the Maduro regime is inviting China and Russia into our hemisphere and propping up Cuba, but you get the idea. It's a problem with a semi-simple solution. The people of that country voted overwhelmingly for a president last summer, and he's sitting in Europe in exile with a strong plan for the first 100 days after Maduro falls, waiting to take over. We've got allies in the region who are ready to help and support any action we take.....
Keep praying for our country, and other countries being targeted.
