Former Nicolás Maduro security guard delivers a firsthand account of the advance technology used in the U.S. raid in Venezuela. State-of-the-art drones, massive firepower, but the Direct Energy Weapons were the most terrifying.

20 elite American soldiers, armed with cutting-edge technology, dismantled defenses and neutralized hundreds without a single casualty on their side. This isn't just a story of victory—it's a masterclass in modern warfare supremacy.

The Americans arrived undetected, Advanced electronic warfare systems completely disabled Venezuelan radars and other equipment.

Drones struck with lightning speed, obliterating bases and outpacing any counter-response. The guard notes Venezuela had "no technology to fight against drones," highlighting the asymmetric edge of U.S. unmanned aerial systems.

Most interesting, was the mention of Direct Energy Weapons, causing immediate incapacitation, with victims bleeding from ears, nose, and mouth.

This matches the Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) or emerging directed-energy systems like the Active Denial System (ADS). and other electromagnetic and acoustic weaponry. If you follow me, this is nothing new and a taste of what we really have and are capable of.

The result? 20 operators vs. hundreds, equaling total domination.

"You think you can fight Americans? You don't even know what their weaponry is like." With President Trump eyeing Mexico's cartels next—"You're on the list too"

Don't FAFO with the USA!

An insider from Venezuela’s security forces says US troops were like nothing they’d ever seen — overwhelming firepower, advanced tech, total dominance. After Trump’s Fox News warning on taking on the cartels, Latin America is watching how powerful US forces truly are. 🇺🇸🇻🇪”

⸻ the Spanish video has English captions if you want to read what the the Venezuelan soldier said about the Americans weaponry

“From 20 soldiers and 8 helicopters to talk of ‘unseen’ weaponry — a Venezuelan security source says the U.S. raid changed everything. Now, after Trump’s Fox interview about going after cartels, the region’s fear of American military might is real. 🇺🇸⚔️”

He mentions the Americans don’t fight fairly they shot at us from the sky by the time they hit the ground out of the helicopters we were already cooked

He did not say anything about fairness. He was in awe at the display of force and extrapolated to what would happen with if a greater force was deployed. It’s unclear to me if the person speaking was a member of the Venezuelan military or from the círculos though

Clown World of the Year Awards - 2025

It's that time of year, vote now for the Locals Choice for Clown World of the Year - 2025.

Poll limit of 8, so please add in the comments sections choices that may not appear in this poll. Some additional nominees: Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Ursula von der Leyen, Donald Tusk, Alexander Stubb, Annalena Baerbock, Al Jolani.

MOA's take on the latest CIA/Mossad-engineered (with a big assist from Elon Musk) color revolution in Iran. Here's how the article begins:

"Every two years or so the CIA and Mossad are instigating regime change riots in Iran. These attempts inevitably fail.

Currently a few thousand young men are during nighttime burning cars, mosques, shops and police offices in various cities of Iran. Armed agents are firing at and killing policemen. All these cells are coordinated via Internet connections.

It usually takes a week or two until Iranian government forces find the connections, trace down the ring leaders and shut them down. That process may take a little longer this time because some of the terror cells have been equipped with Starlink terminals."

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
