Comments on: Venezuela’s rocket launchers found in the hands of FARC guerrillas http://devilsexcrement.com/2009/07/27/venezuelas-rocket-launchers-found-in-the-hands-of-farc-guerrillas/ Observations focused on the problems of an underdeveloped country, Venezuela, with some serendipity about the world (orchids, techs, science, investments, politics) at large. A famous Venezuelan, Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo, referred to oil as the devil's excrement. For countries, easy wealth appears indeed to be the sure path to failure. Venezuela might be a clear example of that.

Regarding a comment from Concerned: Venezuela may well be providing Iran with military gear and armament. The Iranian Defense Minister was recently in Venezuela some say negotiating purchases including latest generation Russian night vision goggles that Venezuela had acquired from Belarus? Others say two Iranian Republican Guards on that same trip died aboard the Mil-18 crash that week (the crash that was shrouded in secrecy).

In the end this is many levels more complicated than meets the eye and the public and media are little informed compared to many country governments and their intelligence agencies.

This is about Venezuelan issued AT4 anti-tank weapons in the hands of FARC.

To answer some questions: AT4s have been used by the regime as props in their press conferences and montages. At first the regime did not bother with the little details including type of weapon. This left unanswered questions particularly those who knew the weapon. Gradually “journalists” started getting smarter (Patricia Poleo) and began to correctly identify AT4s and question the regime’s version of events.

I doubt FAN can account for all its AT4s. I have seen plenty in non-FAN hands but one question remains: are those pictures of fired or unfired weapons? Shrinkage of stockpiles would not surprise me.

Regarding the issuance of Venezuelan passports to questionable foreigners who arrive via Iran Air flights from Iran, that is the purpose of those money-losing flights: to move unmolested between Damascus, Tehran and Ccs.

Regarding Margarita Island, Hezbollah has contacts there going back to the IVth Republic. Back then, the American and Israeli intelligence services kept close tabs on suspects via their Venezuelan counterparts so when there is talk today of Hezbollah in Venezuela it’s not someone talking out of their ass.

Regarding the Iranian containers bound for Venezuela that where inspected in Turkey: it was determined from the equipment being sent and the chemical traces found that the Iranians were shipping a ‘high-explosive’ factory to Venezuela.

Well, I kept my eyes open and looked around carefully this morning while spending some time at the beach… and I saw some massive rocket launchers here at Playa El Agua on Margarita Island !!!!!

The sneaky terrorists are using beautiful women to transport and hide their missiles in a very sneaky manner… with the women hiding the rockets inside fake breasts which are covered by only the smallest of bikinis. There are women all over the beach… walking or laying around with these rockets in plain sight! It’s even possible to see the “sensitivity adjustment buttons” on the tips of the rockets… especially after the women get out of the cold ocean!

The government needs to immediately pass a law that will prevent these rockets from being hidden by the bikini tops! Someone alert Miraflores immediately!

I just remember it in the news several months back about the use of Venezuela sea and air shipments diverting arms into Iran violating the arms embargo. Not selling, only diverting.

It’s listed in “Program development 1960′s – 1980′s” … “All told, 52% of Iraq’s international chemical weapon equipmente was of german origin” … and a few lines later it states, “Around 21% of Iraq’s international chemical weapon equipment was french”. It’s quite a selection of suppliers though, the japanese, chinese, US americans, brazilian suppliers… it is as Lenin noted when asked where will we get the rope to hang the capitalists, “they’ll sell us the rope”. Most of the industrialized countries lined up to sell this to Iraq, and as Kepler noted, it is a global mess.
