Diosdado Cabello: Venezuela 's Commander Chief

Diosdado Cabello, President of the Venezuelan National Assembly, has also been a Governor, Minister, Director of Telecommunications. A new title he recently received is Head of the Soles drug cartel. 

The case of Diosdado Cabello’s as leader of the drug cartel is growing in Washington, with the recent allegations from Leamsy Salazar, Cabello’s former  Security Officer.  Salazar was previously Hugo Chavez's Security Officer for 10 years and he is now in the United States where he is working with DEA in building a case against Diosdado.

As expected Diosdado has denied those allegations and has accused Salazar of being coerced by the United States as another excuse to destabilize Venezuela and overthrow Maduro. The same conspiracy theory was used repeatedly by the Chavez and is now used by the Maduro regime.

Nicolas Maduro has vowed to support Diosdado Cabellos against Salaza’s accusations and has promised to create an International campaign against those allegations. 

Disodado Cabello also has a strong support from Marleny,  his wife “appointed” as the Minister of Tourism;  José David,  his brother “appointed”  Minister of Industry; and other members of his family who have also been “appointed” Government positions. Similar to Saddam Hussein,  and Muammar Gaddafi's families who were “appointed” positions in their Governments.  And we don’t need to go that far,  Fidel Castro’s family and his family in Cuba enjoys the luxury of having their father Fidel and  brother Raul as perpetuated dictators on the Island. 

The Venezuelan people have to be clear that getting rid of the second Commander in Chief –Maduro- won’t bring Democracy to Venezuela without getting rid of Diosdado Cabello also.

Could Nicolas Maduro be Removed from Office like Manuel Noriega from Panama?

The Obama Administration has recently sanctioned a number of Venezuelan officials who are involved in human right violations against protesters.  President Obama added that Venezuela also poses a threat to the United States. 

These accusations coming from the most powerful nation in the world, are troubling.  There are a few theories floating around as to why this Caribbean nation is considered to be a threat. Could it have been just as a protocol to expedite Congress to act? Or does the Maduro regime, in fact, possess terrorist threats to the United States? 

Venezuelan maintains strong connections with Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas. All of these groups are operating freely in Venezuela. With Cuba's help, Venezuela is making false passports, and providing these passports to Islamic Extremists.  According to the 2014 report of Canada on Guard,- "from 2008 to 2012, Venezuelan authorities provided at least 173 passports, visas and other documentation to Islamic extremists seeking to slip unnoticed into North America." There is no doubt that the list has increased with Maduro in power. This poses a great danger to the national security of the United States.

If the Maduro regime poses a threat to the United States, could he be removed from office just as Manuel Noriega was removed from Panama?

In December 1989 President George H. Bush invaded Panama and arrested Noriega, the Panamanian dictator.  The reasons for the US actions here are very similar to the reasons why Venezuela is considered a threat. Panama had become a center for money laundering and drug trafficking into the United States.

Venezuela’s threat goes even farther than Panama's by enabling terrorists with false passports to enter not onlydccssd Venezuela, but also to the United States through Canada with the intention to do harm. 

This Venezuelan tragedy has now become a dilemma for the United States. How to stop Nicolas Maduro from continuing his efforts to inflict Americans inside their country?

One option to stop Maduro might be to reduce oil purchases from Venezuela. While this action might strangle the Maduro regime, it will also hurt the Venezuelan people already affected by the highest inflation in the world.

The other option might be the United States to forcefully remove Nicolas Maduro from power, similar to Noriega.  

I believe that the Venezuelan people will favor the later.

Diosdado Cabello has been Hovering around the Falling Nicolas Maduro, but his Fate is also on the line

Diosdado Cabello, the president of the Venezuelan National Assembly has been in the headlines lately, but not because he is a nice individual. He is as ruthless and power hungry former military man. As the Maduro regime weakens and the economy is at its all time low, Diosdado Cabello lurks around like a vulture waiting for the right moment to take over. Yet, the new allegations against him as one of the leaders of the drug cartel Soles  may bring a game change to Diosdado Cabello’s fate.

The case against Diosdado Cabello’s as the leader of the Soles drug cartel is now growing in Washington, with the recent allegations from  Leamsy 

Salazar who was his main Security Officer.  Leamsy Salazar was originally Hugo Chavez's Security Officer for 10 years, and is now in the United States where he is working with authorities building the case against Diosdado.

This is not the first time that Diosdado Cabello is accused of  drug trafficking. In 2012, Venezuelan Supreme Court judge Eladio Aponte connected Diosdado Cabello with  corruption and drug traffickers. The judge turned over proof of Diosdado Cabello's ties  

to narco-trafficking to the DEA.  According to  Judge Aponte, the late Hugo Chavez was also involved in the drug operations carried out by Venezuelan military.

Diosdado Cabello is also known to be responsible for orchestrating abuses in the National Assembly, where Counsel woman Maria Corina Machado and other assembly members were beaten under his watch. Later, he arbitrarily removed  Machado from her post, in violation of the Venezuelan Bolivarian Constitution. Since the Venezuelan people elected Machado, she can't be fired  from her post by the President of the National Assembly.

Similarly, Diosdado Cabello was personally involved in the unjustified arrest and conviction of Leopold Lopez.  It was on February, 2014, when cabello, and  he remaines prisoner of the Maduro regime.
