    By Tommy Acosta —

    The world has not changed. Those who rule continue to do so, now  extremely well equipped with tools of unimaginable capabilities at their disposal.

    One wonders how the U.S. military, in conducting their raid on Venezuelan dictator Maduro’s compound, were able to kill more than 60 security personnel and get out safely with no casualties of their own.

    There had to be some secret weapon deployed that rendered the Cuban and Venezuelan security forces incapable of fighting back.

    And then The New York Post ran this interview with an alleged surviving Venezuelan soldier, who witnessed the attack.

    Bingo.

    Read it.

     The U.S. is now in possession of weapons that can take out any enemy on the ground with impunity. No one is safe. No leader is safe. No general, no president, no king—no one.

    Do you hear that, Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei?

    In the article, the author mentions weapons that use sound to disable enemies and prevent them from moving as they bleed to death from their nose, vomiting blood. Weapons that can shoot hails of bullets in split seconds.

    How else did 20 special forces soldiers wipe out all those Cubans while losing none of their own?

    Only a new weapon no one has ever heard about could do that trick.

    No wonder the remaining Venezuelan leadership went belly up rather than face the extinction the Cuban and Venezuelan security forces experienced.

    And the ease with which the Venezuelan air defenses were rendered useless had to put fear into any country no matter how hardened against such intrusion. Mexico, Colombia, and others took note and now know there is no messing with the U.S. on any military issue.

    One, has to wonder what the “second wave” Trump referred to was going to be. The existing Venezuelan leadership don’t want to find out. And so far, has its tail between its legs, wondering what the hell happened.

    Killing has now achieved the status of art. The weapons the major countries have, the U.S. especially, cannot be negated. The word on the street for wayward Latin American countries is play ball or be smitten.

    Will killing off the leadership of any country that gets in the way of freedom be the new norm for war?

    The U.S. holds the cards of utter destruction in its hands.

    Pity the fools who call them.

      Vulcan mini guns have a rate of fire between 4,000-6,600 rounds per minute but are hardly new though very likely new to the Cubans and Venezuelan security forces they were used upon. The military has a plethora of less lethal weapons that can and would cause bleeding from the eyes and ears (also not uncommon when firing or receiving 155 mm artillery). They have electronic vehicle mounted transmitters that cause disorientation and nausea. Some SWAT Teams have them mounted atop their BearCat vehicles, they’re commonly seen mounted upon Hummvees during military operations involving rioting/civil disturbance. I’m sure they have them mounted on Night Stalker aircraft as well. Radio jamming is nothing new and we have cluster bombs that shoot out chafe designed to short out electrical grids. So I seriously doubt it was some all inclusive death ray never seen on the battlefield until now. But then again R&D never ceases especially while there are hot battlefields to try new toys out that will enable our troops to kill the most enemy personnel they can from the furthest distance away possible, using the deadliest of weapons like we use to prep every battlefield with today.
      The shoe may very likely be on the other foot soon as King Dum Dum keeps inflaming things in Iran. Iran has advanced long range weapons and know where all of our bases are in the region and all are within striking range of said bases. It’s easy to go on the offense. It’s quite another story being on Defense from possible threats coming from all directions at all hours of every day.

      The social media post was hauntingly familiar, said critics-

      “Will killing off the leadership of any country that gets in the way of freedom be the new norm for war?“

      We haven’t killed anyone from “getting in the way of freedom”! We have killed Qaddafi and Saddam and Abducted Noriega and Maduro in order to take their countries oil and other natural resources away from their rightful owners- the citizens of those countries we have stolen them from or plan to steal from them. Absolutely nothing to do with freedom of anything or anyone other than the freedom of corrupted governments to break laws and commit crime whenever and however they see fit to do so. For the thousandth time- that is why we went after Hitler! So why are we supporting our own government doing exactly what Hitler did that led to us going to war with Germany in WWII? Stealing another country’s oil and minerals has about as much to do with freedom as MAGA Insurrectionist have to do with Patriotism! Absolutely nothing!!!
