So? And what about my point that fishermen don't move at 100 knots in speedboats filled with plastic wrapped packages they start dumping as soon as they're spotted?

How does Venezuela have so much oil and yet their population suffers tremendously?

Let me guess that is also somehow the fault of USA/capitalism/colonialism?

You seem to have more proof of their alleged crimes than the government has offered anyone else, where did you get it?

I haven't seen a source on plastic wrapped packages. Can you point to where that might be?
