I have a feeling this could turn out to be the most important rabbit hole yet, so pay attention to this thread. 🐇

Most conspiracy theories claim some shadowy cabal is secretly pulling the strings. But here's the twist: this one insists the cabal doesn't exist at all.

For decades, prosecutors and journalists have pointed to the Cartel de los Soles, a Venezuelan military-political network accused of moving tons of cocaine with impunity. U.S. indictments call out generals, ministers, even Maduro himself.

Yet powerful leftist voices, from Alliance for Global Justice to COHA analysts to UN drug officials, swear it’s all fiction. They label the Suns cartel a “myth,” a “media creation,” or just “narco-mythology.” Even the Wikipedia page brands it as merely “alleged.” 🤯

📊 Ex-UN drug czar Pino Arlacchi says it’s as fake as the Loch Ness Monster.
📰 NGO allies echo “no evidence.”
💻 Wikipedia editors refuse to treat it as fact.

Why are so many powerful voices so insistent on denying the Cartel of the Suns exist?

I don't know. But I suspect there is a powerful financial incentive here.

Let's see if this makes the trolls as angry as they were about yesterday's boat thread.

Alliance for Global Justice -- yes, the same one I wrote about yesteday as the lowest-hanging fruit to crack down on paid protesters -- is one of the biggest amplifiers of the "Cartel of the Suns does not exist" narratives.

Remember, Alliance for Global Justice is a powerful financial NGO openly backing sanctioned terrorist groups and pro-protest groups founded by Bill Ayers. As well as having a role in ANSWER Coalition, also behind many of the nastier anti-Israel protests in the USA.

AfGJ calls Cartel of the Suns as mythical as the "Loch Ness Monster."

But did you know that AfGJ served as Venezuela's election observers, sending a 17-person delegate there? (Credit @lamps_apple )

@lamps_apple This is unusual, because Maduro's regime cracked down on election observers. Only state pre-approved observers are allowed to attend. AfGJ was personally invited by the Venezuelan state. While they were there, they met with Alex Saab, Venezuela's Investment Head.

@lamps_apple Maduro himself received them along with other international groups and, yes, it does appear that the state government itself paid at least part of the arrangement.

AFGJ is not the only one who is conveniently denying that Cartel of the Suns exist.

Former UNODC (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime) director, Pino Arlacchi, recently penned an article saying it doesn't exist. Even though he admits he's never visited Venezuela in an official capacity.

@lamps_apple Phil Gunson of the International Crisis Group says it doesn't exist. ICG is a powerful globalist NGO with many ex-UN officials, and both George and Alex Soros on their boards.

@lamps_apple William Camacaro with Council on Hemispheric Affairs (COHA), a powerful NGO focused on Latin America relations, insists it doesn't exist.

@lamps_apple Politicians join in the cover-up. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum also says that there's no evidence that Nicolas Maduro has ties to cartels. Her father was a Communist.

@lamps_apple You get the idea.
Powerful globalists and leftist groups all have colluded to deny the Cartel of the Suns exist -- and that it is a figment of Trump's imagination.
This is straight-up gaslighting. For one, Cliver Alcalá, former Venezuela general, pled guilty to it.

Now, I must backtrack and explain *what* the Cartel of the Suns is. It's not a traditional cartel. The name "Suns" comes from the sun insignia used to designate military ranks. It's a shorthand for accusing the entire Venezuelan military-state apparatus, from Maduro down, is complicit in drug trafficking.

@lamps_apple The allegation is that Venezuelan military resources are used to help FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) transport drugs across Venezuela. If you look at a map, it's obvious why Venezuela is an attractive drug corridor for Coloumbia.

Maduro's own nephews were arrested in drug trafficking -- and found guilty of using the money to help the Maduro family. Despite what leftists allege, this is not a Trump-only accusation. The Biden administration was the one who announced the charges against Maduro in March 2020.

The Cartel de los Soles predates Hugo Chávez’s rise to power. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Venezuelan generals and National Guard officers were repeatedly implicated in drug-trafficking cases, with several facing indictments abroad.

In 2004, journalist Mauro Marcano, who had been investigating high-ranking military figures linked to narcotics smuggling, was assassinated on the day he was preparing to reveal names of those involved. His murder became a national scandal and cemented the term “Cartel de los Soles” in the public consciousness.

@lamps_apple The US Treasury Department has been sanctioning various Venezuelan generals. Former Venezuelan Supreme Court judge testified how he was pressurized by military to drop charges or release officers to drop charges for military members caught with drug shipments.

Walid Makled, a Venezuelan businessman and accused drug trafficker, claimed in interviews that he had 40 generals from the Venezuelan Armed Forces on his payroll. He explained that because the military controls all ports and airports, nothing could move through facilities like Puerto Cabello without their authorization.

@lamps_apple A laptop captured in 2011 showed explicit communications between Columbia's FARC and Venezuelan officials over cocaine shipments.

The Biden administration obtained communications suggesting that the Maduro family has used Tren de Aragua, the same gang whose boat was destroyed last week, as a crew of contract killers.

Meanwhile, the Maduros insist Tren de Aragua no longer exists, and groups like the Alliance for Global Justice (AFGJ) echo and amplify that denial.

@lamps_apple So, why are there so many powerful interests denying Venezuela's drug complicity?

This is where it gets wild.
