DEA agent confesses to leading logistics in paramilitary attack against Venezuela

A Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent confessed he would be in charge of logistics in paramilitary attacks against Venezuela. In a video presented by Vice-president of Communication, Culture and Tourism Jorge Rodríguez, José Alberto Socorro Hernández, nicknamed «Pepero,» talks about his participation in organizing violent actions in Caracas. «There is a very important testimony, a volunteer one, by a DEA agent, a drug trafficker recruited by the DEA, something very common in the actions carried out by the Anti-drug Office of the United States of America. José Alberto Socorro Hernández, nicknamed «Pepero» talks about the organization process of the violent actions in Caracas,» said Rodríguez. «He would be in charge of overseeing logistics from Venezuela once the mercenaries and ‘gringos’ disembarked (…) He was also in charge of vehicles and weapons.» Rodríguez explained that this proves it is an operation  that uses two main elements: «Drug trafficking embodied in Socorro Hernández, who is the link with the US government through the DEA, and common element used by US administrations, when they want to carry out an aggression and do not want to use their regular troops, they resort to hiring private companies.» He stressed that Venezuela does not meddle with anyone, but its legitimate authorities know how to respond to this type of threats. «We do not meddle with anyone. Venezuela does not meddle with anyone. Venezuela does not attack nations. It does not send mercenaries to Colombia, Brazil, or any other country in the world, but if we are attacked, if they send ‘rambos’ here, if they send mercenaries who have killed civilians in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya,  and boast about it, publish pictures and dare to come to Venezuela,» their fate will be to pay for those actions. Sectorial Vice-president of Communication, Culture and Tourism offered this response as he explained how the paramilitary attack was foiled last Sunday by the Bolivarian National Armed Force (FANB), Venezuela’s security agencies and the organized people in the states of La Guaira and Aragua.
