Seems Fishy

1. Holy crap that is a mess of boats and motors and those outboards aren’t cheap.
   Running drugs must pay decently 😉 …. even after 10% for the “Big Guy” !!!

   1. the hulls are probably around $10k, the motors are more, but the contents of the boats is worth millions to the druggies

      1. 300 HP Mercury Verado runs about $ 35,000. Six would be $ 210,000.00.

         Maybe they get a discount for buying so many of them.

2. Cull them all.
   They’ve proven they are less than the basest animal by running drugs and have signed off on receiving any human rights.

4. “Venezuelan fish are very very fast.”

5. I think the Trump administration is on solid ground assuming that an 1800-HP speed boat coming full throttle out of Venezuela is not fishing for tuna.

   1. killer S
      Here I thought you’d post something like “correlation doesn’t = causation”

      1. Keep the personal remarks to yourself.

6. Their 3-hour tour … 3-hour tours … have been cut short. Much shorter … with no “shipwreck” survivors.

7. Ummmm…. so… who is Buzz Patterson?
   I’m not sure what is being said here, but these are Chinese boats with Chinese markings. The loaders’ faces are pixilated but what can be seen are characteristics consistent with Asian heritage.
   Now, if this was filmed in Venezuela, that would be something.
   This looks more like rice distribution on the Yangtze.

   1. From my search engine’s AI …

      Venezuela has significantly increased its oil exports to China, with around 90% of its crude shipments now directed to Chinese refineries. This shift has been a response to U.S. sanctions and the departure of Western companies from the Venezuelan oil market.

      Seeing Chinamen in Venezuela is hardly unexpected or unusual. I’m sure the ChiComs are lending all manner of their *ahem* … expertise.

      1. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
         But.. this is more than likely just propaganda. Something any conservative should delineate. Hence… “seems fishy.”
         BTW… AI sucks.

8. We’re either being trolled by Venezuelan drug cartels or drugged by Chinese fishermen.

9. Obviously they’re trolling motors.

   1. Using 5,000# test … and a spoon the size of a 50gal. drum.

10. Back in the 60s we thought we were pretty upscale with our 50 horse Chrysler outboard.

11. I don’t think is what everyone is assuming it is.

    Drug cartels are a lot more sophisticated than this. Allowing someone to record this from the docks is not going to happen. Not to mention the 15 defense satellites that could count the hairs on one of those guys arms. If they’re running drugs, they aren’t going to tie up all their hardware at the same dock like a taunting smorgasbord.

    I know who Buzz Patterson is and what connections he may have acquired over the years. But, what we see in the video doesn’t add up.

    Still, it’s funny.
