Is Operation Gideon Trump’s Bay of Pigs?

Two Americans, including decorated former Green Beret Jordon Gourneau, were arrested in Venezuela leading a rag tag group of Venezuelan dissidents in a failed coup against Venezuelan president Nicholas Maduro. Goudreau even posted a video boasting how his invasion was going to lead to Maduro’s arrest on US drug trafficking charges and install US backed designate Juan Guaido at Venezuela’s president. Goudreau had been training the Venezuelan rebels in neighboring Columbia. Hey, didn’t the CIA train a rag tag group of Cuban rebels in Nicaragua 69 years ago that self-destructed at the Bay of Pigs in Cuba?

The US has been lusting for regime change in Venezuela for two decades, first against hated socialist president Hugo Chavez; then against his socialist successor Maduro. Cruel, deadly economic sanctions have decimated the Venezuelan people. A year ago US sock puppet Guaido inspired a coup that failed. On the one year anniversary last week, former US National Security Advisor and war monger extraordinaire John Bolton tweeted, “Morning is coming to Venezuela…again”.

President Trump denied involvement yesterday claiming “I just heard about it…it has nothing to do with our government”. It’s curious, tho, that US coup leader Goudreau had a relationship with longtime Trump bodyguard Keith Schiller who accompanied Goudreau to Miami last May to discuss beefed up security for US designate Guaido and his advisors in Venezuela and around the world. Shiller dropped all contact with Goudreau but apparently didn’t tell Trump or the State Department about his connection to the coup leader. Why? Not in his Trump job description.

Fifty-nine years ago, JFK and his State Department pitched the Bay of Pigs failure as a spontaneous uprising by Cuban freedom fighters. When the truth came out JFK said, ‘Yep, Made In USA’. Any chance history will repeat itself regarding ‘Operation Gideon’?
