http://panampost.com/panam-staff/2015/01/27/bodyguard-outs-diosdado-cabello-as-drug-cartel-chief/A security official close to Diosdado Cabello, the president of Venezuelas national assembly and vice-president of the ruling United Socialist Party (PSUV), arrived in the US on Monday to give evidence that his former colleague is involved in drug trafficking.
Leamsy Salazar arrived in the country on January 26 accompanied by agents belonging to the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). The US officials had previously convinced the army lieutenant commander and former security chief under late President Hugo Chávez to give evidence before a judge in New York.
--------------------
Salazar has already testified that Cabello heads up the Soles cartel, a criminal organization that monopolized drug trafficking within the country, according to sources involved in the case.
An post shared on Twitter by Ramón Pérez-Maura, an ABC journalist covering the case, stated that Salazars testimony had also linked Cuba with the countrys narcotrafficking trade, offering protection to certain routes along which drugs were brought to Venezuela from the United States.

The truth is that God-given Hair amassed the fortune necessary to purchase his palatial home in Caracas by scrupulously saving 10% of his paycheck every month. He's just very organized.

So either the trustworthy, pious, honest, and always pleasant Godgiven Hair is wrong, or the evil US is plotting to destabilize the most glorious government in region, hell the world.
