"The Boeing 767 has made dozens of flights between Miami International Airport and destinations in Colombia and Venezuela since Jan. 11, a flight tracking service shows, often returning to Miami for only a few hours before flying again to South America." The Boeing 767 has a payload capacity of 42 tons. The discovery of weapons occurred Tuesday, two days after the flight landed briefly in Valencia, Venezuela's third-largest city. Venezuelan authorities found 19 assault weapons, 118 ammunition cartridges, and 90 military-grade radio antennas, among other items.McClatchy concludes with how this is a common tactic of the United States and one that was used when Elliott Abrams was previously in government, writing:
An Ottawa-based analyst reported on the unusual ship and plane movements, Steffan Watkins, drew attention to the frequent flights of the 21 Air cargo plane in a series of tweets Thursday. The airline had been flying all around the United States but in January it began flying to destinations in Colombia and Venezuela on a daily basis, and sometimes multiple times a day making close to 40 round-trip flights from Miami International Airport to Caracas and Valencia in Venezuela, and Bogota and Medellin in Colombia since Jan. 11.
The CIA operated a dummy airline, known as Air America, from the early 1950s until the mid 1970s for air operations in Southeast Asia, including air-dropping weapons to friendly forces.
More than a decade later, Sandinista soldiers shot down a cargo plane taking weapons to the U.S.-backed contra rebels fighting the Nicaraguan government. A U.S. Marine veteran, Eugene Hasenfus, survived the 1986 crash, and later told reporters that he was working for the CIA, paving the way for his release and return to the United States.
Curiously, one of the figures in the Reagan administration instrumental in delivering support to the contras, former assistant secretary of state Elliott Abrams, was named by President Donald Trump late last month as his special envoy overseeing policy toward Venezuela.

Carotta: "Alting i Jesufortællingen kan finde i Cæsars biografi."Den itliensk-tysk linguist og filosof Francesco Carotta beviseer i sin bog Jesus was Caesar, at historien om Jesus Kristus har sin oprindelse i Romerske kilder. Efter mere end femten års undersøgelser har Carotta fundet sporene, som leder til Kristendommens Julianske oprindelse. Han konkluderer, at historien om Jesus er baseret på fortællingen om Julius Cæsars liv.
Carotta: ''Evangliet viser sig at være historien om den romerske borgerkrig, en "fejlfortælling" af Cæsars liv - fra Rubicon til mordet på ham - der er muteret til at blive fortællingen om Jesus fra Jordan til hans korsfæstelse. Jesus er en sand historisk figur, han levede som Gaius Julius Cæsar og genopstod som Divus Julius."Kulten omkring Jesus Kristus, Guds søn og oprindelsen til Kristendommen opstod i det andet århundrede. Tidlige historikere nævnte imidlertid aldrig Jesus, og indtil i dag har der ikke været noget historisk bevis for hans eksistens. Julius Cæsar "søn af Venus" og grundlægger af det romerske imperium blev efter sin voldsomme død ophøjet til status som Imperiegud, Divus Julius. Kulten omkring ham gik i opløsning som Kristendommen opstod.
Kommentar: Nice that the NYT decided to come clean about its relationship to the intelligence community. But the proof was there all along.
As the quote attributed to George Orwell goes: or propaganda . . . .
