Synopsis

“There is an intervention, there is interference, there’s an invasion, there is a permanent, flagrant violation of our security and defense systems in which a foreign military power operates to keep the sovereignty of our State under control.” says exiled Venezuelan Brigadier General Antonio Rivero about the quiet, gradual abduction of his country by Cuban military, intelligence and security forces.
Even though Venezuela is twice the size of California and has a population of 32 million,during the last 20 years, a select, well trained, indoctrinated contingent of about 22,000 Cubans, including generals who executed Fidel Castro’s “internationalist” campaigns in Africa and elsewhere, managed to take control of Venezuela’s armed forces, intelligence and security services and strategic State institutions.In recent years the massive demonstrations in Venezuela against the inept regime of Nicolas Maduro were drowned in blood under the command and advice of Cuba’s so-called Liaison and Coordination Group, the GRUCE.
Why? Because the 60-year-old bankrupt Castro regime cannot afford to lose the cheap oil and easy dollars still coming from its sorrowful South American colony.
Will it pay the price?
All the proceeds of this book will be support REPRESORES CUBANOS project.
