VIP PATRIOT

Hellooo, my Furrialeño friend. How are you? Brother! Winter has already begun to be felt here and, due to the winds that blow, it seems that he is willing to leave more than one completely frozen. Although, on second thought, cold is precisely what seems to be left over in the upper echelons of Venezuelan extremism, where some have been stiff, paralyzed and on edge in the face of advances in money-laundering investigations that are beginning to dot characters from that picturesque political fauna.

The same people who spent years talking about transparency, principles, democracy and moral superiority now seem to be discovering that accounts also have memories, that financial movements leave traces and that money, no matter how much it disguises itself, cannot always hide its origin. So the real winter didn't come with the cold, but with the fear that someone would start to pull the blanket. And, apparently, under that blanket there is a lot more than some would like to see come to light.

But before continuing... Diosdado! I have a complaint to make to you, brother: how is it that they are asking your friend, my friend, everyone's friend, no less than on national television? Please, we have to control people! By the way, is there a possibility this year that you will invite me to your cabin at Furrial York, but with a different companion? It's just that Coquito doesn't know how to ski and he asked me to. Oops! I got away with it.

Anyway, we're going to do our thing.

Goddess! Their ranch is burning and, apparently, no one can get a fire extinguisher! Things have become the color of an ant within Venezuelan extremism. This time the issue has a much more delicate ingredient: federal investigations for money laundering linked to drug trafficking that are beginning to put under the spotlight a financial framework in which names, companies and connections appear that deserve more than a simple explanation of the corridor. And boy are there names!

Our dear friend Murphy, the cooperative patriot we have in the corridors of the FBI, has told me some details of what would be going on behind the scenes. According to Murphy, the recent 12-year prison sentence of Venezuelan banker Jorge Figueira could be just one piece of a much larger financial puzzle. A framework in which economic operations, business companies and links with figures from the top of the most extremist opposition in our country would have been crossed.

And that's because we're just lifting the carpet!

It turns out that, according to the information provided to me by Murphy and the business records he showed me, Figueira was listed with Gerardo Perozo as director of a company called PMT Sports Management Inc. , registered in Pompano Beach, Florida. Aha! And who is Gerardo Perozo? Because this is where the story begins to take another direction and ceases to be an exclusively banking issue.

For some, Perozo may be a complete stranger. One of those characters who don't usually appear in photographs of large political rallies and prefer to stay away from the spotlight. But just because it doesn't appear on the platforms doesn't mean it can't play a relevant role behind certain economic and organizational structures.

According to Murphy, Perozo, who publicly defines himself as an “expert in fundraising”, served as administrator of a project fund close to one million dollars that, between 2019 and 2024, would have financed a network of 35 non-governmental organizations and organized 15 opposition factions in 24 regions of Venezuela.

Hardly anything, Diosdado! We are talking about a structure of financing and political articulation whose dimension, origin of resources and distribution mechanisms deserve and will be examined with a magnifying glass.

And here comes the first question that some would surely prefer to keep stored in a drawer: what relationship existed between the banker Jorge Figueira and the operator Gerardo Perozo? what activities did they share and what was the scope of their respective business operations? What is Figueira's relationship with DoñaViolencia and her children?

When a person linked to financial investigations of such a nature appears to be sharing a corporate structure with someone who managed resources destined to finance organizations and political sectors in Venezuela, the reasonable thing to ask is to ask.

But wait, Diosdado, that there is still a lot of fabric to cut.

It turns out that Gerardo Perozo is also linked, according to the Florida public business records we reviewed, to Original Mano Strategies LLC, a company incorporated in August 2024. And who is listed as the sole member or partner of that company? Nothing more and nothing less than Magalli Meda. Do you know who I'm talking about? Well, here things get much, much more interesting!

Because, at the time when those companies were registered, Meda was inside the Embassy of Argentina in Caracas. That is public, notorious and communicational. And then a question arises that is not exactly a whim: what relationship exists between Perozo and Meda so that their names would end up linked to the same business structure registered in Florida? How did they register that company if one was in Caracas and the other in Florida?

Because here we are not talking about names that appear casually in a phone book, Diosdado! We are talking about companies registered in Florida, people who appear to share business structures, it is a partnership between DoñaViolencia 's main advisor and an economic operator linked to a person convicted of laundering more than a billion dollars from drug trafficking and terrorism.

Coincidences or pieces of an economic structure whose connections are yet to be clarified?

Murphy, of course, assures that there are more names and documents on the table, that this is just beginning. And if we've learned anything from these stories, it's that when you get a loose thread, what's behind it is a big ball of yarn.

So, Diosdado, get ready for the magnifying glass! Because surprises are coming. I know what I'm saying to you.

THE DESPERATE SWARM

My friend Furrialeño. Brother! All this troupe of propagandists, sellers of illusions and manufacturers of narratives of Venezuelan extremism is still clinging to a strategy that, at this point, seems more than failed: trying to pressure heavyweights on this side of the world using the groped Venezuelan file. They continue to believe that, with the aid of media operations, communications and political maneuvers, they will be able to get Washington to dance to the rhythm of their demands. What a way to confuse your wishes with reality!

Our dear friend Mikly Way, who, as you well know, maintains connections in the upper echelons of power, told me that several messages attributed to members of Vente Venezuela and opposition extremism have come to light, aimed at the radical wing of the donkeys, with the intention of making them believe that they must negotiate with them now. This is just another example of that old practice of looking for circumstantial allies to try to twist decisions, they are traitors, accommodating, not credible.

We warned you from the beginning, brother: they are playing at throwing stones and hiding their hands. The problem is that, when you insist too much on operating from the shadows, you run the risk of someone turning on the light.

MiklyWake tells me that in Washington, they are tired of that dirty game where some still believe that they can dictate conditions from their small centers of operations on social networks.

Anyway, my friend! Let them continue with their communications, their operators, their messengers and their games of intrigue. But don't be surprised later if those who receive their messages today start asking them questions tomorrow. In Washington, as in any other center of power, loyalties often have an expiration date and miscalculated operations end up taking their toll. By the way, nothing they do will stop the investigation that is under way, we will see surprises!!!

DISPUTES IN THE PSUDO-OPPOSITION

Brother! For weeks I have been warning that the knife war inside that empty shell called the “Unitary Platform” is more alive than ever. What is being waged there is a real battle of egos, ambitions and elbows for leadership, control of spaces and, especially, for seeing who gets the most centimeters of press, the most minutes of television and the most photographs in the media. Everyone wants to be protagonists, everyone aspires to lead the baton and none seems willing to take the back seat .

A little friend of mine in what they call Citizen Encuentro, the supposed party of your friend Delsa Jennifer, where they regularly meet at least twice a week, let me know that they have stopped the start of the national tour because they can't agree even on the methodology or the voices.

Imagine such nonsense! There, everyone awards themselves titles, proclaims themselves coordinator, boss, representative or strategist. What's left is for someone to try to remove WhiteDog from office.

My friend also tells me that a new meeting is scheduled this Monday, because they are looking for ways to set up a mobilization that supposedly demonstrates “strength” before the end of 2026. The small detail is that they still don't know how to do it or with what speech to go out on the street. They are measuring every step because they know perfectly well that the majority of citizens are exhausted from confrontational rhetoric, calls to the streets and that old recipe for political violence that has left so many disenchantments.

In short, brother, the Platform seems to have become an agency representing personal aspirations. A lot of chieftain and not a lot of tribes!

CONCERN IS GROWING IN BEJUCAL

Brother! Remember when we warned that the supposed return would end up deflating under its own weight? Well, it seems that time is beginning to prove us right! They tell me that Bejucal is starting to breathe that uncomfortable environment of those who discover, too late, that the truth is quite different from that of social networks. Venezuelans are determined to move forward on the path of peace, reconciliation and national unity. And that's ruining the script for more than one!

My friend “Chichón de Piso”, who is still stuck in the corridors of this Quinta de Los Palos Grandes, tells me that the focus groups held over the past 16 days would reflect a rather unfavorable scenario for extremism. The results point to a significant drop in support, exposing the wear and tear of a leadership that has been living on promises, return announcements and the same recycled strategies for too long. So much excitement, so much expectation and so much propaganda to discover that the Bolivarian Government, that Delcy is responding to all the demands of the people despite the difficult circumstances that we have had to go through!

But the most interesting thing, brother, is that “Chichón de Piso” assures me that they are already biting their nails on those sides. The public appearances of the last few days, far from becoming the great demonstrations that their propagandists announce so much, would be leaving a quite different image, since they end up being a show of pushing, shouting and reproaching among the attendees themselves.

Pending, they never stop conspiring, but we already have people inside.

I'll tell you about the next moves on WeChat. A new offensive is coming.

REMEMBER THAT I AM YOUR FINE, FITNEES AND IMPORTANT FRIEND.

CHANGE AND OUT
