One week ago, the U.S. military captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and his wife in a highly-successful operation with zero American fatalities. Now, we have some more details on exactly how they pulled off such a feat. One of Maduro’s guards just shared his first-hand account on what went down that day. Before we get into it, I have to give a disclaimer: I’m not sure how much is to be believed about his story. A Venezuelan guard loyal to Nicolas Maduro doesn’t exactly have tons of credibility, and he may have over-dramatized or lied about some things. But, what he had to say is still extremely interesting — and, to his credit, it did not put Maduro or Venezuela in a favorable light, at all! To tell you the truth, his story is a terrifying warning to our enemies! Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt seems to have validated his account and recommends that every American read it: Stop what you are doing and read this… https://t.co/v9OsbdLn1q — Karoline Leavitt (@PressSec) January 10, 2026 According to this guard, the technology our military possesses may be even more powerful than you might imagine. He claims that none of the Venezuelan soldiers saw the attack coming, and once it happened, their weapons were useless. The guard described it as a “massacre” with Venezuelans standing “no chance.” Very interestingly, he noted that it wasn’t just guns they were fighting against. At one point, the U.S. “launched something…like a very intense sound wave” that caused the Venezuelan soldiers to bleed from the nose and collapse to the ground, unable to move. Some even vomited blood.

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.” The Maduro loyalist went on to give all enemies of the United States a severe, direct warning… Don’t mess with Uncle Sam! “They have no idea what they’re capable of,” he said, “After what I saw, I never want to be on the other side of that again. They’re not to be messed with.” I highly recommend reading the Venezuelan security guard’s full account right here: This account from a Venezuelan security guard loyal to Nicolás Maduro is absolutely chilling—and it explains a lot about why the tone across Latin America suddenly changed.

Security Guard: On the day of the operation, we didn’t hear anything coming. We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation. The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn’t know how to react. Interviewer: So what happened next? How was the main attack? Security Guard: After those drones appeared, some helicopters arrived, but there were very few. I think barely eight helicopters. From those helicopters, soldiers came down, but a very small number. Maybe twenty men. But those men were technologically very advanced. They didn’t look like anything we’ve fought against before. Interviewer: And then the battle began? Security Guard: 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. Interviewer: And your own weapons? Didn’t they help? Security Guard: 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. Interviewer: And your comrades? Did they manage to resist? Security Guard: No, not at all. Those twenty men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us. We had no way to compete with their technology, with 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. Interviewer: So do you think the rest of the region should think twice before confronting the Americans? Security Guard: 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. Interviewer: And now that Trump has said Mexico is on the list, do you think the situation will change in Latin America? Security Guard: Definitely. Everyone is already talking about this. No one wants to go through what we went through. Now everyone thinks twice. What happened here is going to change a lot of things, not just in Venezuela but throughout the region. Ultimately, around 100 Venezuelan security forces were killed in the raid — and zero Americans lost their lives. As for what this mysterious weapon was, it may have been a directed energy weapon. The U.S. military has had these for awhile now, but up until now, they’ve never been used in combat (that we know of.) The New York Post noted: The military has had directed energy weapons — which neutralize targets using focused energy such as microwaves or laser beams — for years, but this could be the first time it’s been used in combat by the US, an ex-US intelligence source told The Post. China reportedly used a microwave weapon in 2020 against Indian soldiers during a border dispute in Ladakh. The source noted that those weapons have capability to produce at least some of the symptoms, including “bleeding, inability to move or function, pain and burning.” “I can’t say all of those symptoms. But yes, some,” the source said. “And we’ve had versions for decades.” One thing is for sure: any country thinking about picking a fight with the United States better think twice after this — especially those in Latin and South America that President Trump has been calling out recently. No wonder Colombian President Gustavo Petro was so quick to drop his tough guy act and rush to appease President Trump! In his blunt way, Dan Bongino said it well: Must read about why it’s a really bad idea to f#%^ with the world’s most powerful military. https://t.co/N2IK2Wte4h — Dan Bongino (@dbongino) January 10, 2026 Your thoughts?
