Trump’s weapon caused troops to ‘vomit blood’ during raid | US | News
An eyewitness to one of Nicholas Maduro’s security guards, who remains loyal to the deposed Venezuelan dictator, has revealed details of an extraordinary sonic weapon that reportedly “brought them to their knees”.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shared the account on X, drawing attention to the American military capabilities deployed during the raid on the socialist leader’s residence, which resulted in his arrest. The unnamed security officer described it as a “massacre” as his unit found themselves outmatched in terms of superior firepower and drone technology, before US forces deployed a “sonic” weapon that allegedly caused vomiting and nosebleeds.
The security guard said: “Yes, but it was a massacre. There were hundreds of us, but we had no chance. They were shooting so precisely and fast… It was as if each soldier was firing 300 bullets per minute. We couldn’t do anything.”
When asked if Venezuelan weapons were effective against the attack, the guard replied: “No help at all. Because it wasn’t just the weapons. At one point they threw something – I don’t know how to describe it… it was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt my head explode from the inside. We all started bleeding from our noses. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, we couldn’t move.”
While it was noted that approximately 34 Cuban citizens were among those killed in the military operation, Venezuelan interior minister Diosdado Cabello claims that approximately 100 people died during the operation. Cabello, who came to prominence during the Hugo Chavez era, faced sanctions from the United States as well as her relatives due to “narcotics trafficking”.
Throughout the rest of the discussion, the security guard described how superior his forces were to American troops and issued a stern warning to Latin Americans against any conflict with the Americans.
“These twenty men killed hundreds of us without a single casualty,” the security guard continued. “There was no way we could compete with their technology, their weapons. I swear, I’ve never seen anything like it. We couldn’t even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was.”
When asked about the region in general and its relationship with America, the guard replied: “Without a doubt. I’m sending a warning to anyone who thinks they can go to war with the United States. They have no idea what they’re capable of. After what I’ve seen, I never want to be on the other side of this again. They shouldn’t be messed with.”
The interviewer was identified as Mike Netter, a podcast host who introduced himself as “the main proponent of the Gavin Newsom Recall California initiative.” The dramatic arrest of Venezuelan leader Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, in a military operation early Saturday morning sets the stage for a major fight for U.S. prosecutors aiming to secure a conviction in a New York courtroom against the long-serving president of the oil-rich South American country.
Maduro and Flores, who face corruption and bribery charges in New York, will be given the same rights as others awaiting trial. This includes the right to a jury trial of ordinary New Yorkers.
Maduro is charged with four crimes: conspiracy to commit narco-terrorism, conspiracy to import cocaine, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices.
These charges echo those of an earlier indictment filed against Maduro in Manhattan federal court in 2020 during Trump’s first term as president. The new indictment, which was announced last Saturday and includes additional charges against Flores, was filed under seal in the Southern District of New York just before Christmas.
Flores is a formidable figure in his own right, having presided over Venezuela’s National Assembly for several years. She played a pivotal role in strengthening her husband’s grip on power following his presidential election victory in 2013.
Behind the scenes, Flores has emerged as one of Maduro’s key advisors ensuring his political survival.
