Businessmen who make up the Latin American Association of Oil Operations in Texas (Alep) warn about the consequences of the actions taken by an extremist right-wing group by calling for mercenaries and request funds to invade Venezuela and assassinate the legitimate president of a country.
In this way, oil businessmen urge the President of the United States, Joe Biden, to initiate an investigation within the American Congress to avoid reviving a situation similar to that developed during the administration of former President Ronald Reagan in 1985 in the notorious Iran-Contra case for the sale of arms to Iran in order to overthrow the Sandinista Revolution in Nicaragua.
The oil tankers grouped in the Alep They express their concern through a letter addressed to the American president about the current situation with Venezuela and the intention of an extremist group to repeat actions similar to the Iran-Contra case, in which the American Congress condemned Colonel Oliver North and citizen Elliot Abraham (who was later pardoned by George HW Bush), for promoting the intervention of Iran and Nicaragua in the midst of the energy wars of the time.
“Re-editing the Iran-Contra case in which mercenaries are called to request funds to invade a country and assassinate a president, supposedly exporting weapons from the United States in the midst of a clear need to increase the American strategic reserves, does nothing to help, as has been fully demonstrated, the strengthening of the

Martínez says that Venezuela remains the US’s strategic energy partner and its most reliable supplier. “The expropriation of Citgo was an error that has not yet been quantified,” he explains.
“Consider an action such as the one proposed to intervene by a
“A private mercenary using resources supposedly from the taxpayers of this country for such purposes, apart from constituting a federal crime, revives the Iran-Contra case and should open an investigation in Congress in order to verify such situations,” said Terán Martínez.
The oil workers refer to the campaign called “Almost Venezuela”, in which the owner of the mercenary company Blackwater, Erick Princebegins a fundraising campaign to undertake “changes,” using the excuse of financing an armed incursion into the country.
Blackwater led the violent actions in Baghdad in 2007.
It is important to note that state security forces seized more than 400 weapons for exclusive use in the United States, which, according to investigations, would be used in terrorist actions that would be undertaken after the elections of July 28.
