Venezuela-Türkiye hattındaki sıra dışı özel jet trafiğindeki artışı birkaç gün önce yazmıştım.
Geçen hafta Venezuela’ya uçan jetlerden biri, Acun Ilıcalı’ya aitmis.
Acun, ya Survivor’ın yeni sezonunu Venezuela’da çekmeye hazirlaniyor ya da "altin" yumurtlayan bir tavuk pesinde.

El Delcysmo” barre con el “madurismo” y se reposiciona en el poder. Imdat Oner, analista del Jack D. Gordon Institute y exdiplomático turco en Caracas, cuestiona la tesis de una supuesta purga revolucionaria y advierte: “Basta con observar el caso Betancourt. No conviene hacerse demasiadas ilusiones solo porque algunas de las figuras clave de Maduro estén siendo apartadas. Los rostros pueden cambiar, pero el sistema puede sobrevivir”, advierte.

This is the craziest Trump admin drama happening imo. @AlinaHabba accused @RichardGrenell of stealing millions from her husband. But it turns out the check was from the Congolese govt and her husband is an advisor to the president & owns mines in Congo!?! Shadiest shit possible.
Fonlar aracılığıyla milyonlarca dolar yurt dışına kaçırılırken,birileri hala ülkeye uyuşturucu üzerinden “sıcak para” sokma peşinde. Ekvador polisi Türkiye’ye gidecek iki konteynerde, çimento kolileri arasına gizlenmiş 700 kilodan fazla kokain ele geçirmiş
Less than a year ago, the Maduro regime, including Diosdado Cabello and others, was accused by the US of being a narco-regime. Now the same regime, minus Maduro, is fighting drug trafficking and seizing tons of drugs.
Maybe Diosdado is handing over his own stockpiles to survive.
En el marco de una operación conjunta entre los organismos de seguridad de Venezuela 🇻🇪 y la Marina Nacional de Francia 🇫🇷, fueron incautadas 2,9 toneladas de drogas, entre marihuana y cocaína.
Esta acción, desarrollada conforme al Derecho Internacional, reafirma la importancia de la cooperación bilateral en la lucha contra el narcotráfico transnacional.
Agradecemos a las autoridades francesas su asistencia para concretar exitosamente esta operación.

Is Rubio Running Without Running?
"The most enthusiastic supporters of Vice President JD Vance’s presidential ambitions have a ready response whenever Secretary of State Marco Rubio makes conservatives stand and cheer:
'He’s not running,' they say. 'He’s said he won’t run against Vance. He’s going to be Vance’s vice president.'
But politics dictate behavior more often than the reverse. Should Vance’s front-runner status erode, Rubio’s occasional bursts of savvily packaged brilliance position him to inherit the Republican Party’s mantle."

At a time when many Latin American governments are echoing U.S. migration restrictions, Uruguay just went the opposite direction and announced a new pathway to permanent residency for asylum-seekers. 🧵

Breaking News: President Trump’s new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, was fired after less than a week on the job, according to people familiar with the matter. nyti.ms/4yuECpZ

De acuerdo con Imdat
This assumption misses the bigger picture. "Madurismo" eventually dies at the hands of Delcy and Jorge, but Delcyismo is emerging in its place. It's a more U.S.-friendly version of the same corrupt system. Just look at the Betancourt case. Don’t get too hopeful simply because some of Maduro’s key figures are being eliminated. The faces may change, but the system can survive.

Muchos se preguntan: ¿Por qué Trump premia a Delcy & Jorge Rodríguez? Es muy sencillo: porque son ellos quienes están desmontando el chavismo bajo sus órdenes. Lo explico en este vídeo desde la Casa Blanca. abc.es/internacional/trump-p…
Two Trump allies — Alina Habba Mildon and Richard Grenell — are locked in a raging dispute that has its roots in the battle for a share of the spoils in Venezuela.
nytimes.com/2026/10/15/us/po…
One of the documents that Mr. Mildon’s lawyer sent to the White House includes a text message from May 2025 that purports to show Mr. Grenell saying he wanted to make Mr. Mildon the “American face down in V,” referring to #Venezuela.
"And what about the fate of Delcy Rodríguez, whose government is accused by the UN and federal prosecutors of major human rights violations?
“In our constitution and international treaties there are crimes that are not subject to amnesty or forgiveness,” Ms. Machado said.
She declined to say whether Ms. Rodríguez could face prison time.

NEW: President Trump called Ric Grenell from the Oval Office to confront him over Alina Habba’s claim that a $5.6M Kennedy Center donation from her billionaire husband never arrived. Grenell denied it. By Wednesday, her husband’s lawyers delivered their evidence to the White House counsel. w/ @nieto_phillip

New: Kristi Noem is no longer serving as the Trump administration's special envoy for the Shield of the Americas initiative, per a State Dept official, though she remains involved in efforts to coordinate security cooperation across the Western Hemisphere.

Turkey🇹🇷-Colombia🇨🇴 ties have taken a hit under Abelardo's administration.
Ankara has strongly condemned Bogotá twice in the past two months, first over its recognition of Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights and now over its decision to move its embassy to Jerusalem.
16 private jet flights between Venezuela🇻🇪 and Turkey🇹🇷 in just two months, on top of Turkish Airlines’ 4 weekly flights.
What are these jets carrying? Trade between the two countries hardly justifies so many expensive flights. So what’s really going on along this route?
Another detail worth mentioning. Some of these flights carry heavy cargo with no passengers on board. Under Maduro, similar jets were accused of transporting gold. With Delcy now in charge, it’s fair to ask whether gold or something else is again being moved along this route.
