The CIA may have trained several Venezuelans, from the Opposition party, to overthrow the Venezuelan Government, from Hugo Chávez to Nicolas Maduro. Many people seem to think Juan Guaidó came out of nowhere and many Chavismos didn’t even know who Guaidó was. It seems that after his extensive training in the CIA School of Regime Change, he has been under the wing of Leopoldo López, who is currently under house arrest.

Leopoldo López was originally involved in the failed 2002 coup d’état of Hugo Chávez, ordered by the Elliot Abrams of the Bush Administration. Video evidence has even been found of his involvement, Wikileaks has found documents, and a report from DemocracyNow. On February 12, 2014, Leopoldo called for an uprising in hopes to oust Nicolas Maduro. During streetwide riots, in Caracas, three people died that day. The civil unrest continued for two more months, in which a total of 43 deaths occurred and 800 people were injured. He was arrested, and sentenced to jail for over 13 years, for inciting to riot and criminal association. Eventually he was released, to house arrest, due to health conditions. Not long ago, his wife announced that he would run as President of Venezuela if he was freed, along with the other “political” prisoners (something that I’ve suspected all along).

Now, Elliot Abrams has returned to finish the job that he failed at in 2002. It’s apparent that he didn’t succeed on January 23, as the humanitarian aid was burned by a wayward Molotov cocktail rag. Besides the food, and medicine, the trucks included nails and wire, which have been used for barricades in past riots. On May 15th, the United States, and the Netherlands, have reached an agreement to use of Curacao as a hub for humanitarian aid. Time will tell what Abrams has in store, next.
