early part of the medical and so strangely i mean by the colombian authorities operation gideon was on may 1st 2021 of us live up here so not a big donor one of those who not only you know you're not really so like yeah this is yet so i don't like to put the word that this sound on total mind out there in a good woman with a little put out they don't pay off the old t.v. compromised by venezuelan intelligence and now down to a few $1000.00 competitions there would be the surgeons were still intent on going ahead the plan was to circumvent blanket orders and get a venezuelan out into small doesn't know how to. talk a lot all you know your kendo you know. it means when his military knew exactly when and when they were coming. in the early hours of may 3rd as captain pan terrorist boat the 1st of 2 approached the coast it came under heavy fire. were

not seen of them by then they really got to the shore going around. even to the lines and. that is where the security forces and respond with overwhelming force. not of one terrorist made stronger somebody. the 2nd boat was no one like he said with engine problems it started running low on fuel it was carrying 51 venezuelans and the 2 american mercenaries you damn men and i ran very well on spinning. there's a bit of a bomb. either in the middle of lunch or much at the time of the my it or the hollows are left in being the honey for me. but of for a. here's what i. don't know although surely by now

aware that this man had run into problems back in florida civil course boss decided to unveil his master plan which form of it is what an army can have you need to continue to at his side could prove reveal operation give you on to the war something 100 hours a daring and fabulous raid was launched from the border of colombia deep into the heart of caracas our men are continuing to fight right now our units have been activated in the south west and east of venezuela the truth was somewhat different . the. day. we. see.

as they approached the coast and the battered boat francisco and decided they'd had enough. and those are my. choosing will be important for a lot. of this if we're. francisco in food 5 all this had gone away for the moment but the 2 americans and some of the group's leaders stayed on board. policewoman ingrid cuz then you was among those waiting for that. we actually thought it. a lot of it i thought you know so much money money money.

well nigh now that i got a lot more. money out of money and wealth or less a movie they're saying and so i went to milan charring and same thing and said well odigo follow the a background perry felt a lot of evil but i learned when i would look. for a moment only from fine you don't know if it i mean i want to just being a director but i found that. this is monochrome make that it be on the level i don't know if the men were arrested and lined up in front of the media the presence of 2 americans prompted the obvious question who was behind the attempted invasion. interviewed in the back of a police car insurgent go forward well i have no doubt and i look for you know i don't know too many. what i saw.

not only the wrong president might do had no doubts either but yes. not my no no not you know not. that i'm sort of american who drew said no longer used its own soldiers but relied on private companies to fight its way through. but you see by labelling but ily more you think that i mean you know the olive is here but this is the sort of pie is a 7 foot on them but it's a. full ones venezuelans across the political divide the united believe that jordan goodrem had the backing of the u.s. government but donald trump's for spawn's was dismissive we just heard about it 1 but whatever it is will let you know but it has nothing to do with our government up until then the role of venezuela's opposition leaders had been known only to

insiders but faced with criticism about his role in operation giddy on. decides to go public there is really no your name there is a contra absolutely let me see if you can read it you have probably read it why you know i have been made up in an interview with venezuelan journalist patricio jordan good drove reveal that opposition leader why does signature was on the contract and that he was still trying to get paid i'm out a lot of marty a lot lot of whiners a lot of us came together to do this i mean i've been a freedom fighter my whole life this is all i know shortly after giving this interview goudreau then lead to phone recording which apparently captured the moment that i signed the contract and i was resident person each. part of it would write. the.

way. 'd we managed to get an interview with plan michael in hiding in qatar and ask him about his involvement in the failed not. win over this young. lady. ah holy nice little are not needed yes i do insist that the venezuelan government was responsible for operation . he accused them of using infiltrators to trick the invaders into going ahead against all odds we are going to get us on those are. in the middle east. and the us. is it or is it not your voice and your

signature can i just get a simple yes or no you know. what they are going to get on with and it was not a big. look at all of them and that not all look at us and. i'm like light bill random house at mit had his involvement he too claims venezuela. is in the us a good pointer intelligence operation of the government we me smart guy with a spirit of 33 years and consulting was like still believe caught. i feel bad about it because there is people wildcards are torturing money played it i was disposed the commission was dismantled brazil was affected but saying that venezuelan intelligence hijacked the operation is that not just a way for you to escape responsibility no no no i am assuming full responsibility

and of honest i would go to him. not everyone is able to take the outcome so lightly. in the early days of going to one of the 04 moments where he will have most of. the met all muscle could always a form. he said will not put her there months ago but as a result of what he said. today good row continues. to insist that the opposition never explicitly told him to stop working for them and he's using lawyers to claim money from rendell and meanwhile president might do those party has taken control of the national assembly in the process removing one by dawes justification for claiming the presidency in mcdougal speech to mark the reopening of that assembly to no one's surprise he highlighted once again the failed attempt to unseat him a very long monologue sung by i don't know maybe that i did but i feel it's just i
