A shocking letter from Nicolas Maduro’s former director of military intelligence for Venezuela has sent shockwaves through many circles, amid allegations that the Venezuelan government has not only been secretly warring against the U.S. for many years, but has also been coordinating with corrupt U.S. officials to do so.
The letter, obtained by The Dallas Express, was written by Hugo Carvajal Barrios and penned to President Donald Trump. Barrios recently pleaded guilty in the U.S. on federal narco-terrorism charges.
The exclusive letter makes several chilling claims about Venezuelan schemes to destabilize the United States, including the weaponization of drug cartels like Tren de Aragua and the terrorist organization Hezbollah.
“When the Biden–Harris open-border policy became widely known, they seized the opportunity to send these operatives into the United States,” Barrios wrote. “They now have obedient, armed personnel on American soil. To finance their operations, they were explicitly instructed to continue kidnapping, extorting, and killing. Every crime they commit on your soil is an act ordered by the regime.”
Barrios further claimed in his letter to the president that Venezuelan and Cuban intelligence have infiltrated U.S. agencies and military institutions for the past 20 years.
“Cuban intelligence showed me their networks inside your naval bases on the East Coast. They bragged about having sent thousands of spies over decades, some now career politicians,” he noted.
Barrios said that U.S. diplomats and CIA officers were paid to assist both Hugo Chavez and Maduro in maintaining their power. “These Americans acted as spies for Cuba and Venezuela, and some remain active to this day,” he alleged.
Perhaps most shockingly, Barrios alleged that a powerful election system software and platform that is used today in the United States was developed purely as “an electoral tool of the Venezuelan regime but soon derived into a tool to help keep the regime stay in power forever.”
He explained, “This technology was later exported abroad, including to the United States. Regime operatives maintain relationships with election officials and voting-machine companies inside your country. I do not claim that every election is stolen, but I state with certainty that elections can be rigged with the software – and has been used to do so.”
Barrios concluded his letter by warning the people of the U.S. about the “threat posed by allowing a narco-terrorist organization to roam freely in the Caribbean and throughout Latin America” and described the Venezuelan regime as “not merely hostile – it is at war with you, using drugs, gangs, espionage, and even your own democratic processes as weapons.”
The Trump administration has taken strong action in the Caribbean to strike at alleged narco-terrorist vessels over the past few months, and President Trump even suggested this week that the U.S. would be willing to make land strikes against nations engaged in drug trafficking into America.
Former national security advisor and Retired General Mike Flynn in a statement urged President Trump to forge ahead with more transparency on this issue. “We, as Americans, must demand more transparency about the role of rogue, deep state elements, inside of our own national security system who have been or are currently protecting the Venezuelan regime, and have been for decades,” he wrote.
