Florida Man takes on Venezuela

[Agema]

I have no good source on this, so take it as rumor, but I read someone suggest the CIA not only knew, they actively tried to talk them out of it.

I think that's very likely. I've seen it reported that Goudreau approached the US government for support, but was turned down and I would expect the US government would have gone further and made their opposition clear to Goudreau. The last thing US diplomats and agents need is a bunch of rank amateurs embroiling the USA in unnecessary international disputes.

Let's face it, if the CIA / etc. wanted to remove Maduro that way, they've got much better resources than a low-rent outfit that's not done anything more complex than glorified showsec.

Can you imagine that conversation? That would be some weapons grade Cohen Brothers shit right there.

"Look guys, I'm not gonna lie: the agency has a long history of doing this kind of thing. Sometimes we get it right and sometimes we fuck it up. Now I've looked at your plan, and while our guys have come up with some doozies in their day this is truly some half-assed shit right here. I can see like fifty different ways you all get captured, butt fucked by burly men with beards and then have your fingernails torn off and that's just in paragraph one. So here's a freebie from your friends at Langely Institute for Regime Change - let this one go"

And just on, and on, and on in a manner such as that. Though presumably funny because I'm no Cohen brother.

Maybe the guy running this operation is actually an evil genius and he plans to sell the movie rights.
