• The Guarimbas, which set fire to the streets of violence between March and August 2017, were convened and financed by the Democratic Unity Bureau (MUD) and fueled by the destructive “chemical courage” of a drug known as Captagón.
• The Guarimbas, as a system of incendiary barricades to destabilize and sow terror in Venezuela, were invented by Robert Alonso in 2003, combined with the consumption of Captagón by trained mercenaries, proved to be a deadly cocktail that left, in 2017, 120 dead and thousands injured, many of whom were disabled for life.
• This powerful psychotropic drug was first synthesized in 1961 by the German chemist Bernd Marquardt, an employee of the Degussa laboratory in Frankfurt. Its consumption was later banned in the 80s due to side effects that induce states of delirium, hallucinations, psychosis, seizures and extreme violence.
• In the Venezuelan case, the complaint was filed by the digital portal Matriz del Sur, which became the spokesperson for the alert issued by the international courier companies Fedex, UPS and DHL, which brought to light the smuggling of Captagón carried out by alleged Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) across the Colombian-Venezuelan border.
• The early warning was accompanied by the report of packages smuggled from Colombia to Venezuela containing drugs intended to “embolden” the guarimberos of Caracas and other cities, warning that this lethal chemical had been used in the Middle East by jihadist fanatics to slaughter prisoners in front of the cameras civilians and soldiers captured for execution.
• “Those who use this hallucinogenic substance, according to experts, feel neither their pain nor the pain they inflict on others and can commit all kinds of atrocities in cold blood and far from human values and principles.”
• Indeed, in 2017, dozens of police officers were killed by groups of “emboldened” to massacre in gangs, as well as civilians who were lynched or burned alive without the slightest contemplation in cold blood.
• Erick Troconis, an official of the Autonomous Immigration and Aliens Service (SAIME), located in the municipality of Santa Rita in the state of Zulia, was one of those who managed to survive the “chemical courage” of the opposition, when a Molotov firebomb was thrown on his vehicle, causing burns all over his body. “I am alive by a miracle,” he exclaimed when interviewed.
• Currently, the psychotropic Captagon has been produced since 2011 in special laboratories of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), in Bulgaria. If this destructive substance is banned worldwide, it is worth asking: For what purpose is it marketed? and For whom?
