Iranian-Sponsored Narco-Terrorism in Venezuela (soooo predictable that it's right on cue)

[Catherina]

Paul D. Shinkman is a national security reporter at U.S. News & World Report. This is a guy who as of 11 March 2013 hadn't "covered Venezuela for long" you really must wonder where he got his information and using Douglas Farah as a source, that Islamophobe formerly from UPI and the Washington Post, now Senior Fellow at the International Assessment and Strategy Center founded by that neocon Arthur Waldron who "has ties to numerous other think tanks, including the Center for Security Policy, the Project for the New American Century, the Jamestown Foundation, and the Foreign Policy Research Institute"? In other words, another scumbag tool for the Wolfowitz/Feith/Pearle school of neocons.

Oh my how desperate this meatless, contentless article is.

Iranian-Sponsored Narco-Terrorism in Venezuela: How Will Maduro Respond?

By Paul D. Shinkman
Apr 24, 2013

New Venezuelan president at a crossroads for burgeoning threat to U.S.


A Venezuelan National Guard soldier next to a cocaine processing laboratory near the Colombian border.

At a conference earlier this month, top U.S. military officers identified what they thought would be the top threats to the U.S. as it draws down from protracted wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Gen. James Amos, commandant of the Marine Corps, was unequivocal about a largely unreported danger:

"Narco-terrorism just on our south border: [it is] yet to be seen just how that is going to play out in our own nation, but it is an issue and it is something that our nation is going to have to deal with."

This alliance with Iran uses established drug trade routes from countries in South and Central America to penetrate North American borders, all under a banner of mutual malevolence toward the U.S.

....

"Each of the Bolivarian states has lifted visa requirements for Iranian citizens, thereby erasing any public record of the Iranian citizens that come and go to these countries," wrote Farah of countries such as Venezuela, Ecuador, Colombia and Panama.

....

1. Oh, brother! It appears that Schinkman is trying to appeal to ALL the rightie nutjobs!

Quote: "This alliance with Iran uses established drug trade routes from countries in South and Central America to penetrate North American borders, all under a banner of mutual malevolence toward the U.S."

Anti-Chavista/Bolivarian, anti-immigration and the "bomb-bomb" Iraq nutjobs,......... unite!

2. It's like those neocons have a little list of things they have to hit in every article lol

"Anti-Chavista, anti-immigration and the "bomb-bomb" Iraq nutjobs, unite! " nails it.

3. LOL

I couldn't help laughing when reading this:

"This alliance with Iran uses established drug trade routes from countries in South and Central America to penetrate North American borders, all under a banner of mutual malevolence toward the U.S."

Now, Iran is taking over US with the help of Venezuela...

4. I know! I'm laughing now but I don't trust our government one bit

Pretty soon jerks like Rubio are going to be foaming at the mouth about narcotraffickers like Evo Morales and Nicolas Maduro and a chorus of neoliberals will follow suite.

I love your graphic. It nails it!

5. Santos and Monsanto are going to frost these wet-dreamers' asses when...

...they legalize drugs in Colombia.

Where will they get their funding?

It ain't funny, I guess. But sometimes you just gotta laugh.

My rule of thumb for Bushwhacks and these types: Whatever they accuse others of doing, they are doing, or planning to do.

Very helpful rule of thumb for figuring things out.

6. These guys again. They all need to get healthy hobbies, stay away from "politics."

Who on earth would be able to take them seriously after seeing how predictable they are?

That photo of the Venezuelan soldier guarding the cocaine lab is classic, isn't it? Good grief.

Found a photo of Shinkman's mentor, Doug Farah:

It accompanies an article from the website, Loonwatch

In a blog entry titled, “The MB Inroads Into the Obama Administration,” Douglas Farah, yet another so-called “investigative” consultant, sets out to link American Muslim organizations to planet Zorbex, that global superpower which is able to operate in perfect coordination yet secrecy toward “sneaking in” an evil empire in the United States — Zorbex is also known as the Muslim Brotherhood, or affectionately as MB.

I had only hoped the Defense Department group from the Bush administration had all faded away, had gone fishing, etc.

Looks as if they absolutely never left, never missed a beat, and are counting the hours until the right-wing can somehow catapult them right back into positions of power again so they can continue terrorizing the world, and destroying everything the right-wing can't use profitably.

I'm pretty sure there are more good people than there are blobs like them. They are simply more frantic to seize power than sane people are!
