Image:  Narcotics. Illustration shows the interior of a drugstore with an elderly man, the pharmacist, dispensing a "Bracer" to a crowd of eager consumers, while a young girl secures a bottle of "Soothing Syrup." On the counter are bottles and packets of "Arsenic, Strychnine, Antipyrin, Nerve Stimulant, Opium, Cocaine" and "The Needle." Signs on the wall state "The Killem' Quick Pharmacy," "Open all night," and "Prescriptions carefully compounded."

Maduro is claiming total power in Venezuela after the recent fraudulent election.  The one branch he didn’t claim was he parliament.  Venezuela is becoming a regional threat by sending out masses of refugees to neighboring countries—Guyana, Brazil, et al.; while Maduro has invited in Iran. China, Russia.   Iranian missies in Venezuela can reach the US; we’ll intercept them on sea and land.       JCPOA:  Length of time.  Also, missiles that can reach Europe, incl space-launched.  Also, Iran’s support for terrorism and subversion across the Middle East. These are the reasons for the maximum-pressure campaign. Iran is delighted to see Trump leave, but is not confident about Biden.   Fakhrizadeh is gone.  His critical files were removed and seem to have gone to Israel.        Colombia is at risk because of the Venezuelan air force and drug trafficking, plus the movement of so many millions of people.  Elliott Abrams is the Special Representative for Iran and Venezuela at the Department of State.
