REPORT: U.S. used sonic weapons during the mission to incapacitate opposing forces; killed hundreds of Venezuela soldiers.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt shared the viral account on social media.

A viral story from a man claiming to have witnessed the U.S. operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro states that the U.S. used sonic weapons during the mission to incapacitate opposing forces.

Leavitt shared the eyewitness interview on X, encouraging her followers to read the statement. The witness in the interview claims to be a guard who was serving at the Caracas military base where the U.S. captured Maduro:

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

The witness then described watching roughly 20 U.S. soldiers deploy out of roughly eight helicopters over the base.

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

"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."

The witness then describes the U.S. deploying some sort of sonic weapon against Venezuelan forces.

"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."

"We all started bleeding from the nose," he added. "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."

"Those twenty men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us," the witness claimed. "We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I’ve never seen anything like it."

The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital when asked whether Leavitt's sharing of the post constituted confirmation of its veracity. The Pentagon also did not immediately respond when asked if the U.S. deployed sonic or energy weapons in Venezuela.

Primacy is a beautiful thing. Just imagine the possibilities of turning those weapons systems and tactics to good use against the Iranian regime.

@beckyromero Again, I‘d wholeheartedly support any diplomatic effort to curtail the militarization of crowd control because an international treaty of that nature would - at least formally - constrain authoritarian regimes (and practices) most of all. Which is exactly why it would never be signed, ratified or implemented.

I'd argue that we've been fairly successful at limiting the spread of nuclear weapons among authoritarian regimes since the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty was signed in 1970.

Only India, Pakistan, North Korea acknowledge having developed them since, with Israel suspected of having them as well.

But not Brazil, Argentina, Iraq, Iran (at least not yet), Saudi Arabia that could likely meet Pakistan and North Korea's technology, nor many other nations that have had authoritarian regimes over the decades since the Treaty was enacted.

If it is morally justified to be outraged at the killings of protesters in Iran, would it still not be an outrage if the Iranian government "only" caused permanent hearing loss for those protesters. Or what if they were "only" shot in the leg or suffered "crack skulls", like Trump asked Gen. Mark Milley to do to protesters after George Floyd's murder in 2020?

Only U.S., Russia, China and a few others have this technology. We can stop its proliferation NOW and put harsh sanctions on any nation that uses it in the future.

Akin the the NPT? I‘d be in favor in of that.

Sounds like the kind of information that should be kept secret, not blabbed about so others can have counter measures ready.

@22Michelle Hubris knows no discretion.

@22Michelle

Sounds like a weapon that should be banned under international law.

This reads like a fevered American weapon's enthusiast's wet dream rather than anything Leavitt would be remotely be permitted to post on social media.

The Trump administration thinks boasting about how the raid to capture Maduro was done somehow makes us look more "civilized."
