Hugo Carvajal Barrios – the former Director of Military Intelligence for Venezuela and once one of the most powerful figures inside the governments of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro – wrote an open letter to President Trump on December 2, 2025 and it was released for publication by Carvajal’s attorney, Robert Feitel — a former senior Justice Department prosecutor.

General Hugo Carvajal Barrios – the former Venezuelan spy chief known as “El Pollo” (The Chicken) – is currently in a U.S. federal prison. In June 2025, he pleaded guilty to all charges against him and he has agreed to collaborate with Bondi’s U.S. Department of Justice.

This letter should be front page news on every network – yet no one is reporting it. Why not? It’s been vetted and confirmed as real. PLEASE READ IT, ABSORB IT FULLY AND THEN SHARE IT. IT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING.

Dear Mr. President Trump and The People of the United States,

My name is Hugo Carvajal Barrios. For many years, I was a high-ranking member of the Venezuelan regime. I was a three-star general trusted by both Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro and served as Director of Military Intelligence and a Deputy in the National Assembly. Today, I sit in an American prison because I voluntarily plead guilty to the crimes charged against me: a narco-terrorism conspiracy. I write to atone by telling the full truth so that the United States can protect itself from the dangers I witnessed for so many years.

I publicly broke with the Maduro regime in 2017 and fled my country, knowing that I face criminal charges in the United States. In doing so, I became their enemy. Knowing the risks, I acted with the strongest conviction to dismantle Maduro’s criminal regime and bring freedom to my country. Today, I see the need to address the American people about the reality of what the Venezuelan regime truly is—and why President Trump’s policies are not only correct, but absolutely necessary to the United States’ national security.

Narco-Terrorism

I personally witnessed how Hugo Chavez’s government became a criminal organization that is now run by Nicolás Maduro, Diosdado Cabello, and other senior regime officials.

The purpose of this organization, now known as the Cartel of the Suns is to weaponize drugs against the United States. The drugs that reached your cities through new routes were not accidents of corruption nor just the work of independent traffickers; they were deliberate policies coordinated by the Venezuelan regime against the United States.

This plan was suggested by the Cuban regime to Chávez in the mid-2000s and has been successfully executed with help from FARC, ELN, Cuban operatives, and Hezbollah. The regime has provided weapons, passports, and impunity for these terrorist organizations to operate freely from Venezuela against the United States.

Tren de Aragua

I was present when decisions were made to organize and weaponize criminal gangs across Venezuela to protect the regime—among them the group known as Tren de Aragua. Chávez ordered the recruitment of criminal leaders inside and outside prisons to defend “the revolution” in exchange for impunity.

After Chávez died, Maduro expanded this strategy by exporting criminality and chaos abroad to target Venezuelan political exiles and artificially reduce crime statistics within Venezuela. Gang leaders were instructed to send thousands of members out of the country. This was coordinated through the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Prisons, the National Guard, and national police forces. Tren de Aragua became the most effective and fastest growing.

When the Biden–Harris open-border policy became widely known, they seized the opportunity to send these operatives into the United States. They now have obedient, armed personnel on American soil. To finance their operations, they were explicitly instructed to continue kidnapping, extorting, and killing. Every crime they commit on your soil is an act ordered by the regime.

Counterintelligence and Espionage Against the United States

I was present when Russian intelligence came to Caracas to propose to Hugo Chávez the tapping of submarine internet cables that connect most of South America and the Caribbean islands with the United States for the purpose of penetrating United States Government communications.

In 2015, I warned Maduro that allowing Russian intelligence to build and run a secret listening post on La Orchila Island would one day invite American bombs. He ignored me.

For twenty years, the Venezuelan regime sent spies into your country—many are still there, some disguised as members of the Venezuelan opposition. Cuban intelligence showed me their networks inside your naval bases on the East Coast. They bragged about having sent thousands of spies over decades, some now career politicians.

U.S. diplomats and CIA officers were paid to assist Chávez and Maduro in remaining in power. These Americans acted as spies for Cuba and Venezuela, and some remain active to this day.

Smartmatic and Your Elections

Smartmatic was born as an electoral tool of the Venezuelan regime but soon derived into a tool to help keep the regime stay in power forever. I know this because I placed the head of IT of the National Electoral Council (CNE) in his position, and he reported directly to me.

The Smartmatic system can be altered—this is a fact. This technology was later exported abroad, including to the United States. Regime operatives maintain relationships with election officials and voting-machine companies inside your country. I do not claim that every election is stolen, but I state with certainty that elections can be rigged with the software – and has been used to do so.

People of the United States, make no mistake about the threat posed by allowing a narco-terrorist organization to roam freely in the Caribbean and throughout Latin America, doing everything possible to harm the American people—to finance anti-Americanism across the continent, and to facilitate the operations of other terrorist organizations and enemies of the United States within Venezuela and now within your borders.

The regime I served is not merely hostile—it is at war with you, using drugs, gangs, espionage, and even your own democratic processes as weapons. President Trump’s policies against the Maduro criminal regime are not just justified, but necessary and proportionate to the threat. He may even be underestimating what the regime is prepared to do to hold onto power. They have contingency plans for every extreme scenario to ensure they never relinquish control.

I absolutely support President Trump’s policy towards Venezuela, because it is in self-defense and he is acting based on the truth. I remain ready to provide additional details about these matters to the United States government.

Hugo Carvajal Barrios

United States of America

December 2, 2025

Carvajal — widely known by his nickname “El Pollo” — spent years inside the top tiers of Venezuela’s security apparatus and dealt directly with the senior leadership of both Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro.

Carvajal served as the director of Venezuela’s military intelligence from 2004 to 2011 and again briefly in 2013-2014, under late President Hugo Chávez and his successor Nicolás Maduro – while Obama was President.

He was first arrested in Aruba in 2014 but released due to diplomatic immunity claims.

He was arrested again in Madrid, Spain, in 2019, but disappeared after a court initially rejected his extradition. He was re-arrested in 2021 after hiding in Madrid for two years. After a lengthy legal battle, the European Court of Human Rights denied his final appeal, and he was extradited to the U.S. in July 2023.

In June 2025, a week before his trial was set to begin, Carvajal changed his plea to guilty on all charges, including conspiracy to import cocaine and narco-terrorism. This sudden change led to speculation that he might have reached a deal in exchange for incriminating information on the Maduro government, though his attorneys stated no deal was offered.

In December 2025, while awaiting sentencing (scheduled for October), Carvajal wrote to U.S. President Donald Trump, accusing the Maduro government of operating as a “narco-terrorist organization” and providing support to various armed groups and gangs like Tren de Aragua. He has claimed to have evidence of the regime’s involvement with Iran, Hezbollah, election tampering via Smartmatic, and espionage within the U.S..

Earlier this year, he pleaded guilty in federal court to charges stemming from a conspiracy that moved cocaine into the United States and provided support to Colombia’s FARC guerrillas. Prosecutors say at the center of the so-called Cartel de los Soles, a network of Venezuelan military officials accused of weaponizing cocaine and the drug trade against Americans.

The General, and former Director of Military Intelligence in Venezuela, described how U.S. diplomats and CIA officers were bribed to assist Chavez and Maduro to remain in power. He also described how the election software Smartmatic, developed in Venezuela, is used to ALTER ELECTIONS all over the world – including in America.

Venezuela weaponized cocaine in coordinated operations with FARC, ELN, Cuban intelligence, and Hezbollah; it built and exported violent criminal networks like Tren de Aragua into the United States; its intelligence services infiltrated American institutions for more than twenty years; and Smartmatic was developed to “keep the regime in power forever.”

As I’ve said for years now, we cannot allow Communist China or Russia or Iran or major international Islamo-Communist terrorist networks to surround our country. If you still don’t understand what being “surrounded means” – read this:

Trump regime implements ‘next phase’ of Real ID enforcement, slapping ‘non-compliant’ air travelers with $45 fee and requiring them to submit biometric data  LEO HOHMANN

The technocrats who control Trump are not going to stop here. The next stop on the road to technocratic tyranny will be the total monitoring and control of not just air travel but road travel as well.

DEC 01, 2025

Travelers going through airport security checkpoints without a REAL ID or passport will face a $45 fee starting February 1, the Transportation Security Administration announced Monday.

This fee is part of the Trump administration’s next phase of REAL ID enforcement.

According to a report by ABC News, the process will require individuals to verify their identity through a biometric or biographic system if they don’t have a Real ID-compliant form of identification before they’re permitted to cross through the TSA checkpoint.

That means getting your face scanned or your fingerprints taken right there at the airport or you will be turned away, unable to board your flight.

The announcement follows a proposed rule published in the Federal Register last month, but the agency increased the fee from its previously proposed amount of $18.

Steve Lorincz, TSA’s deputy executive assistant administrator for security operations, told ABC News:

“The fee was necessary because we needed to modernize the system. We needed to make sure that the system is safe.”

Ah yes, it’s always about keeping us safe. As they herd us into their digital feudal system.

TSA says the fee will cover the administrative and IT costs associated with the ID verification program and ensure the expense is covered by the travelers and not the taxpayers.

Whether the expense — a needless one created by technocrats bent on total control — is covered by air travelers or taxpayers, it’s still a case of making the minions pay for their own enslavement.

I would submit that this same biometric control feature will eventually be required to get a driver’s license and travel on the nation’s interstate highways, similar to what’s now being required to fly in the skies.

Technocracy is never satisfied in its drive for total control over people’s lives. In this case, it’s our freedom of movement they are out to curtail. But they are also working to curtail our use of resources such as water, electricity, gasoline, etc., while at the same time monitoring and controlling our freedom of speech, our healthcare, our children’s education, everything.

Never comply. Never bow to this ugly, tyrannical beast system.

How Somali fraudsters ran riot allegedly stealing more than $1BILLION of taxpayers’ money on Tim Walz’s watch: ‘We’re losing our way of life’   By JAMES CIRRONE, US NEWS REPORTER

30 November 2025  Daily Mail

Confidence in Minnesota‘s social safety net has been shaken by fraudsters who authorities say have stolen more than $1 billion in public funds from programs meant to feed children, assist the homeless and provide autism therapy.

Over the last five years, people mostly within Somali communities have gotten rich by running companies that bill the state for millions of dollars in social services that were never actually rendered, The New York Times reported.

Federal prosecutors say of the 86 people that have been charged, 59 have been convicted so far in what they describe as three separate fraud schemes.

One central case involved the nonprofit Feeding Our Future, which claimed to serve tens of thousands of meals to low-income children during the pandemic.

Prosecutors allege most of those meals never existed, and instead, the taxpayer money went to luxury homes, cars, jewelry and real estate abroad.

‘No one will support these programs if they continue to be riddled with fraud,’ Joseph H Thompson, the federal prosecutor who took on the cases, told The Times. ‘We’re losing our way of life in Minnesota in a very real way.’

Given the scale of the situation, President Donald Trump has weighed in, criticizing Governor Tim Walz for allowing Minnesota to become ‘a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity.’

He said the perpetrators should be ‘sent back to where they came from.’ He later said he would be revoking the temporary protected status of the roughly 700 Somali nationals who have it, which prevents them from being deported.

On Thanksgiving, he called Walz ‘seriously retarded,’ while also attacking Ilhan Omar, a congresswoman of Somali origin who has represented Minnesota’s 5th district since 2019.

Walz has defended what has gone on by saying his administration erred on the side of generosity during the pandemic and prioritized getting money out to people as quickly as possible.

‘The programs are set up to move the money to people,’ Walz told The Times. ‘The programs are set up to improve people’s lives, and in many cases, the criminals find the loopholes.’

Walz, who is seeking a third term as governor next year, has created a new task force to diagnose and root out fraud. He also plans to use AI tools to more easily find suspicious transactions at the governmental level.

‘The message here in Minnesota,’ Walz said, ‘is if you commit a crime, if you commit fraud against public dollars, you are going to go to prison.’

Lisa Demuth, a Republican who serves as the Minnesota House speaker, is looking to unseat Walz as governor and accused him of raising taxes while allowing fraud to ‘run wild.’

Walz began shutting down the state’s housing initiative in the last few months, admitting that it was beyond saving.

The fraud reached such a scale that one housing program ballooned from an expected $2.6 million to $104 million, mostly due to fake billing. Hundreds of providers were reimbursed for services that were never provided.

Another program that was supposed to provide therapy to autistic children did nothing of the sort, according to prosecutors.ation:

They say providers found children in Minneapolis’s Somali community and falsely certified them as qualifying for autism treatment. In return, the parents were paid kickbacks for their cooperation and their silence.

The state’s Somali community, about 80,000 strong, say that this fraud has significantly damaged their reputation

‘The actions of a small group have made it easier for people already inclined to reject us to double down,’ said Abdi Mohamed, a filmmaker in Minneapolis, told The Times.

Omar said: ‘We do not blame the lawlessness of an individual on a whole community.’

Critics of Walz claim a key reason the fraud wasn’t stopped was due to a reluctance from civil servants to go after the criminals due to their race, and being fearful of alienating the Somali community, according to the New York Times.

In 2020, Minnesota Department of Education officials were drowning in a flood of applications for new pandemic feeding sites.

As the number of providers exploded and invoices skyrocketed, staff started questioning the authenticity of invoices for meals that supposedly went to tens of thousands of children.

Feeding Our Future, the largest nonprofit participating in the program, warned that if the state didn’t fast-track approvals for ‘minority-owned businesses,’ it would face a lawsuit accusing officials of racism.

The state backed down. Feeding Our Future filed suit anyway, and despite mounting red flags, the agency kept approving feeding sites and reimbursing claims for months afterward.

The Daily Mail approached Tim Walz’s office for comment.
