A firsthand account from one of Nicholas Maduro’s security guards, who remained faithful to the now-ousted Venezuelan dictator, reveals details of an extraordinary sonic device that “brought them to their knees.”
Donald Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt shared the testimony on X, highlighting the American firepower deployed during the raid on the socialist leader’s residence that led to his capture.
The security guard, whose name has been kept confidential, painted a picture of a “massacre” as his team found themselves completely outmatched and overwhelmed before the U.S. allegedly unleashed a “sonic” weapon that triggered vomiting and nosebleeds.
The security guard began: “Yes, but it was a massacre. We were hundreds, but we had no chance. They were shooting with such precision and speed… it seemed like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute. We couldn’t do anything.”
When questioned about Venezuelan weaponry and whether it provided any assistance against the assault, the guard replied: “No help at all. Because it wasn’t just the weapons. At one point, they launched something-I don’t know how to describe it… it was like a very intense sound wave.
“Suddenly, I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move.”
The grim toll of the operation included around 34 Cuban nationals, while Venezuela’s interior minister, Diosdado Cabello, claimed a staggering 100 lives were lost. Cabello, a key player in the Hugo Chavez era, has been slapped with U.S. sanctions alongside his family for alleged “narcotics trafficking.”, reports the Express US.
In the remainder of the interview, the security guard painted a bleak picture of his forces’ impotence against the might of the American military, issuing a stark warning to Latin America about tangling with the U.S..
“Those twenty men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us,” the guard recounted.
“We were utterly outmatched by their technology, their weaponry. I swear, I’ve never seen anything like it. We couldn’t even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was.”
When quizzed about the wider region and its relationship with America, he didn’t mince his words. “Without a doubt. I’m sending a warning to anyone who thinks they can fight the United States.
“They have no idea what they’re capable of. After what I saw, I never want to be on the other side of that again. They’re not to be messed with,” the Venezuelan guard cautioned.
The interviewer was identified as Mike Netter, who bills himself as the “main proponent for the drive to Recall Gavin Newsom, California,” and hosts a podcast.
The dramatic early Saturday arrest of Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, in Venezuela has set the stage for a significant challenge for U.S. prosecutors as they aim to secure a conviction against the long-standing leader of the oil-rich South American country in a New York courtroom.
In New York, Maduro and Cilia Flores, who are also facing charges of corruption and bribery, will be granted the same rights as any other individuals awaiting trial. This includes the right to a jury trial composed of ordinary New Yorkers.
Maduro is indicted on four counts: narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices.
These charges mirror those from an earlier indictment brought against him in Manhattan federal court in 2020, during Trump’s first term as president.
The new indictment, which was unsealed 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 her own right, having led Venezuela’s National Assembly for years. She played a crucial role in strengthening her husband’s hold on power following his presidential election victory in 2013.
Behind the scenes, Flores emerged as one of Maduro’s key advisers, ensuring his political survival.
