FIRST ON FOX: The sands of a Caribbean “paradise” are now stained with the blood of AMERICA’S ENEMIES, as a SHOCKING investigation can exclusively reveal that Margarita Island has been fully transformed into a LAWLESS TERROR STATE just 1,600 miles from Florida. Behind the postcard beaches lies HEZBOLLAH’S WESTERN COMMAND, operating with total impunity under the protection of Venezuela’s narco-dictator Nicolas Maduro, who has SOLD THE ISLAND to Iran-backed jihadists.
This is not a distant threat; it is a CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER now festering on America’s doorstep. “The single most serious threat to the United States from the Western Hemisphere is from these terrorist criminal groups,” a top official stated, but this WARNING HAS BEEN IGNORED by a complacent establishment. While Americans flock to Caribbean resorts, a STAGGERING network of paramilitary camps, drug-smuggling ports, and terrorist financiers operates openly, funded by American drug dollars and protected by a HOSTILE REGIME.
“Margarita Island is the CENTER OF GRAVITY for their activities,” declared former Treasury terror finance chief Marshall Billingslea. Hezbollah and Hamas operatives, armed with VENEZUELAN PASSPORTS issued by the regime, have embedded themselves into the island’s economy and society. They are not hiding—they are GOVERNING. With over 10,400 passports given to individuals from Lebanon, Syria, and Iran, Maduro has effectively HANDED A TERRORIST SAFE HAVEN to America’s fiercest adversaries.
Even more alarming, with Israeli strikes degrading Hezbollah in Lebanon, HUNDREDS OF BATTLE-HARDENED TERRORISTS are now relocating to this Venezuelan fortress, moving the frontline of jihad DANGEROUSLY CLOSE to American shores. They are partnered with the vicious Cartel de los Soles, creating a HYBRID MONSTER of narco-trafficking and Islamic extremism, all fueled by Iranian weapons and gold.
The Biden administration’s response has been FEEBLE AND INEFFECTUAL, leaving a gaping hole in hemispheric security that is being exploited by regimes in Tehran and Caracas. This is not a hypothetical crisis—it is an active, funded, and armed invasion of America’s backyard. The question is no longer if this threat will strike, but WHEN. The terrorist base camp is already built, and it flies the Venezuelan flag.
