And Thus It Begins..no more fiction. Chronicles. The invasion of Venezuela is the kickoff we’ve been anticipating. You likely know the details by now. Saturday morning, DEA, FBI and military forces combined “extracted” Nicolas Maduro from his hidey hole in Caracas. Apparently his Cuban bodyguards must have been asleep. Now they are allegedly taking the big “dirt nap.” Maduro and wife will be arraigned today in Brooklyn. Question is: what happens next? To answer that question, we turn to an impeccable source: Oracle Jones , late of Denver, Colorado. “I see the big winter acomin’, he prophesied with a drop of whiskey dripping from his chin. “Gotta stock up on the magic elixir afore the Injuns get aholt a it.” Thank you, Mr. Jones. We’ll certainly keep that in mind.
