#12  Pretty sure everyone here knows fuckery is afoot...but I don't think the Chavez Era of Abundance is the right stick.

#11  Hey, remember when the US tried to launch a coup in Venezuela in 2002 but it flopped?

Nah, the CIA never does that kind of thing. Conspiracy theory! Conspiracy theory!

#8  Obviously a Trump era State Department covert op designed to overthrow Madura and incorporate Caracas into his hotel chain vacation schedule and pad MLB rosters at the expense of The Everyday Man, and to deny that is to deny that Chinese wet market food is superior to Panda Express.

#6  All of this from public data

Spyglass Air, LLC filed as a Florida Limited Liability in the State of Florida and is no longer active. This corporate entity was filed approximately seven years ago on Thursday, January 29, 2015, as recorded in documents filed with the Florida Department of State.

Spyglass Air, LLC has another company listed as an officer. It is not uncommon for one company to hold a position in another company

That company is Pfd Management Associates, Inc. filed as a Domestic for Profit Corporation in the State of Florida on Tuesday, November 27, 2007, and is approximately fifteen years old, as recorded in documents filed with the Florida Department of State.

Curiouser and Curiouser, nice little rabbit hole...

#5  History of Aircraft ownership (per the FAA)

Last US registration:
1980 Rockwell NA-265 Sabreliner 65

Tail Number N465PD SPYGLASS AIR LLC, Jupiter Florida. Issue Date: 3/6/2015, Cancel Date 3/1/2021, Exported to Mexico

Reports say it was destroyed on the ground, and the pictures indicate this as well. So it is not a shoot-down. Possibly caught them in a dirt strip doing sketchy stuff and they didn't pay off the right people.
