US used powerful sonic weapon that brought Venezuelan soldiers to their knees during Maduro raid: witness account

The US used a mystery sonic weapon that brought Venezuelan soldiers to their knees, “bleeding through the nose” and vomiting blood during the daring raid to capture dictator Nicolas Maduro, according to a witness account posted Saturday on X by the White House press secretary.

In a jaw-dropping interview, the guard described how American forces wiped out hundreds of fighters without losing a single soldier, using powerful technology unlike anything he has ever seen — or heard.

“We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation,” the guard said. “The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn’t know how to react.”

Moments later, a handful of helicopters appeared — “barely eight,” by his count — dropping what he estimated were just 20 US troops into the area.

But those few men, he said, came armed with something far more powerful than guns.

“They were technologically very advanced,” the guard recalled. “They didn’t look like anything we’ve fought against before.”

What ensued, he said, was not a battle, but a slaughter.

“We were hundreds, but we had no chance,” he said. “They were shooting with such precision and speed; it felt like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute.”

Then came the weapon that still haunts him.

“At one point, they launched something; I don’t know how to describe it,” he said. “It was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside.”

The effects were immediate and horrific.

“We all started bleeding from the nose,” he said. “Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move. We couldn’t even stand up after that sonic weapon — or whatever it was.”

“They didn’t look like anything we’ve fought against before.”


He means they weren’t like helpless Venezuelan citizens.
The description of the sonic weapon reminds me of the men with blue gloves in Firefly.

At least they didn’t use the LeRoy Neiman paintings, that would have violated The Geneva Convention.

Sounds more like Directed Energy Weapons. Previously disclosed publicly but we now have a Sec. War with the stones to use them.

Smells a bit of azz-covering - no footage, it didn’t happen.

I remember reading years ago that the US Army was experimenting with a similar device mounted on vehicles for crowd control.

There were stories within the last few years of US Embassy personnel experiencing nausea and headaches at night accompanied by sensations that felt like sub-sonic vibrations. It was initially blamed on the Russians as the incidents I recall occurred overseas.

Ironically, Ayn Rand described (in her novel _Atlas Shrugged_) a sonic “death ray” weapon (called Project X) developed by a then-future US government to use against its enemies.

I’m sure this witness meant 300 rounds per second, not per minute.
