#news Venezuela became a narco-state allegedly under the direction of George Bush, who then reportedly sent his son Jeb in to set up drug trafficking & money laundering systems

The Bush family has been accused of playing a vital role in turning Venezuela into a narco-state, with George H.W. Bush allegedly installing a leader and sending Jeb Bush, to orchestrate drug trafficking networks and money laundering operations.

G. Bush allegedly leveraged his CIA directorship to engineer Venezuela's slide into Narco-terrorism decades ago, and used Jeb as a CIA "non-official cover" agent.
In 1977 Jeb moved to Caracas as a branch manager for Texas Commerce Bank, an institution linked to his family's oil interests through Zapata Corporation.
Investigative journalists and political operative Roger Stone, allege Jeb facilitated money laundering for Colombian cartels like Medellín and Cali, disguising drug profits as oil revenues while supporting anti-communist efforts like the Nicaraguan Contras.

Stone's book "Jeb! and the Bush Crime Family" asserts that Jeb's banking role hid cartel funds in "front" companies, with Texas Commerce later tied to stashing $7 million in Mexican Gulf cartel profits.

Jeb's associations extended to people like Alberto Duque, a Colombian banker convicted in 1983 for laundering cartel and Contra money through Miami's City National Bank, where Jeb reportedly helped finance a $30 million real estate deal.
Critics say that Venezuela's path to becoming a narco-state is traced to the Hugo Chávez era starting in 1999, not the Bush years.
Under Chávez and successor Maduro, Venezuela became a key transit hub for cocaine, with the "Cartel of the Suns"—a network of corrupt military officials—implicated in trafficking tons of drugs to the US.

By 2005, Chávez expelled U.S. DEA agents, accusing them of espionage, which critics say opened floodgates for cartels.
