Venezuela Funneled Millions in Drug Money to Black Lives Matter

A bombshell investigation has uncovered evidence that a foreign government has been funneling millions of dollars in drug money into American leftist organizations to fuel division and unrest on the streets of the United States.

Deep financial and ideological ties between the Chavista regime in Venezuela and Black Lives Matter (BLM) have been exposed.

The findings have exposed the radical movement, often portrayed as a grassroots racial justice organization, as a foreign tool for Marxist subversion inside the United States.

According to a report by the Washington Examiner, the connection traces back to late 2012, when Venezuela’s socialist dictator Hugo Chávez personally ordered at least $20 million in cash-filled suitcases to be delivered to Opal Tometi, one of BLM’s co-founders alongside Patrisse Cullors and Alicia Garza.

A former high-ranking Venezuelan official who later defected testified that the funds were meant to “project the Bolivarian revolutionary project onto the streets of the United States.”

In other words, to effort sought to export Chávez’s anti-American revolution by sowing chaos and division across America.

The defector, who was part of Chávez’s inner circle, described a meeting in Caracas where Tometi arrived accompanied by three other American women and actor Danny Glover, a longtime sympathizer of communist dictatorships in Cuba and Venezuela.

As Chávez lay dying of cancer, the socialist strongman reportedly viewed BLM as “the perfect tool to export his anti-imperialist ideology.”

BLM’s Founders and Marxist Roots

BLM officially launched in 2013 after the Trayvon Martin case, but its ideological roots were openly Marxist from the beginning.

Patrisse Cullors once described herself as a “trained Marxist,” while Tometi has repeatedly invoked Assata Shakur, a convicted murderer who fled the U.S. and was granted asylum in Cuba.

The Examiner’s findings add to mounting evidence that BLM’s leaders weren’t simply focused on police reform, but on advancing a global socialist movement with Venezuela’s “Bolivarian revolution” at its heart.

Direct Links to the Maduro Regime

The relationship didn’t end with Chávez’s death.

In 2015, Tometi invited Nicolás Maduro, Chávez’s handpicked successor, to an event in Harlem, New York, held during the U.N. General Assembly.

Maduro appeared onstage with Glover and a BLM co-founder, who embraced him warmly in front of a giant portrait of Chávez.

That same year, Tometi traveled to Venezuela as an official election observer, even as international watchdogs like the OAS, U.N., and E.U. boycotted the process due to widespread fraud.

Rather than denouncing the rigged election, Tometi praised the regime’s system as “one of the best in the world.”

She even posted on social media:

“Fulfilling my duty as a global citizen and serving as an electoral observer for Venezuela’s national elections.”

She later doubled down, drafting a BLM statement supporting Venezuela’s “Bolivarian revolution.”

While Venezuelans faced famine, extrajudicial executions, and mass repression, BLM leaders were openly celebrating the socialist dictatorship responsible.

A Global Marxist Network

Analysts say these ties fit within a broader hemispheric strategy promoted by the São Paulo Forum — a Marxist alliance connecting far-left movements and authoritarian regimes from Latin America to the United States.

BLM representatives reportedly participated in its network meetings, forging ties with regimes accused of atrocities, including Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua.

Under Maduro, Venezuelan police have killed six times more people per year than police in the United States, in a country twelve times smaller and where civilian gun ownership is banned.

Among the victims were Genesis Carmona, a beauty queen shot dead by regime snipers in 2014, and an Afro-Venezuelan teenager lynched in 2017, whose killers were never prosecuted.

Yet Tometi and other BLM leaders have continued to praise Venezuela’s leadership, whitewashing its record of human rights abuses.

The Money Trail

Meanwhile, BLM has raked in tens of millions in corporate donations, including $90 million in 2020 alone, much of it from U.S. tech giants and woke corporations eager to virtue-signal.

While local chapters and families of police brutality victims complain of receiving little to no funding, BLM’s founders have bought multi-million-dollar mansions and funneled money to family-run consulting firms.

Conservatives argue that the Venezuelan connection exposes what BLM has truly become: a foreign-funded political weapon, not a civil rights movement.

“They preach racial justice while embracing tyrants who trample human rights,” one analyst told the Examiner.

The $20 million delivered to Tometi, the report concludes, was “not philanthropy, but an investment in chaos.”

The funding was used to inflame protests, destroy businesses, and undermine the rule of law in the United States.

Time for Answers

With the Trump administration already pressing Maduro over ties to drug cartels like the Cartel of the Suns, calls are growing for a federal investigation into BLM’s foreign funding and connections to sanctioned regimes.

Venezuela exported hunger and repression — and imported American chaos.

Now, it’s time to follow the money and expose the truth.

As Slay News has previously warned, America’s greatest threat is often bankrolled by foreign dictators and carried into our streets under the banner of “justice.”
