00:00Revealing the link with what's happening in the country.
00:09On the beginning, a while ago, President Nicolás Maduro published a denouncement that he received
00:18as head of state to alert our people and give them tranquility, peace, security, that information
00:32arrived that terrorist groups were going to execute actions with grenades and explosives.
00:43We started to do some research before we had an alert with grenades and explosives against
00:57myself.
00:58We researched, we did research, and captured three people, three citizens, which were part
01:10of that organization.
01:13On their phones, we found data about someone whose last name is Estrada, who is arrested
01:22and facing justice, 30 years.
01:30We took his cell phone, and it has relevant information for us linked to terrorist acts.
01:46When we observed the plan they had that involved using explosives in jails to free different
01:58prisoners there, from that list of prisoners, we have detained 14 of them, which are linked
02:09to this operation, confessing what they were going to do, how they were contacted from
02:16abroad, and what they were going to do when they were outside, and the weapons they were
02:24going to receive.
02:27And everything makes sense, weapons entering the country and the people who are going to
02:35use it, mercenaries and criminals.
02:39On the other side, someone is providing us the information about an operation prepared
02:48from Europe, from an intelligence agency that was recruiting people to bring them to
02:57Venezuela.
02:59That person stated that he got the plan, but he was not the one that was going to execute
03:10that.
03:12He gave us the information and told us that there were already people in Venezuela that
03:20were operating and are working, talks about that intelligence organization being the national
03:36center of Spain, and told us that they are recruiting mercenary personnel.
03:48The CNI depends on the Ministry of Defense, which is a lie, because it depends on the CIA.
03:59The leaders of the CNI are the CIA, the ones who lead them.
04:11Everything else is just a cover, but the one who rules there is the CIA.
04:21He sent us a plan, which consisted of murdering Nicolás Maduro, Jorge RodrĂguez, Diosdado,
04:30myself and other fellow mates, with awards for those who achieved it.
04:46They were looking for the mercenaries, a group of French mercenaries who had the job
04:51of taking the airport, very similar to the Gedeon Plan, remember?
04:58Very similar.
04:59They repeat the same story, attack the Palace of Mayor Flores, take control of the airport
05:06Macadilla, attack military units, public services, systems of transportation.
05:15All of this is on their plans with foreign mercenaries.
05:24We started to act and reveal secretly this, I mean to analyze it with the links of these
05:41people that we have named, have confessed to us the plans and the way they were going
05:49to execute them.
05:54Of course, from now on, all of those captured are going to be pictured as kids that have
06:03no link with anybody, are as tourists, good people that just for fun murder others and
06:13put places bombs and carry out coup d'Ă©tat.
06:20Four hundred rifles captured, mercenaries also captured, international plan revealed.
06:41Some details lack that we cannot reveal for now.
06:44The Spanish C.N.I. knows it, that what we are saying is true, the C.I.A. knows that
06:51what we are saying is true, but they also know that we are not revealing all of what
07:00we know, because we must not reveal some details.
07:04That is why they have not revealed their positions openly, because they don't know the amount
07:13of information that we know.
