White House's Leavitt Shares Message Claiming U.S. Used Weapon That Made Venezuelan Forces Vomit Blood During Maduro Raid

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt shared a social media publication including a claim that the U.S. military used a weapon that led Venezuelan forces to vomit blood during the raid that captured authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro.

"Stop what you are doing and read this," said Leavitt in a social media publication along with several flags of the U.S. The message in question is an alleged account from a person who claimed to witness the raid that took place in early January.

According to the post, Venezuelan forces' "radar systems shut down without any explanation." "The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions," he added.

The guard went on to say that only a "small number" of ground forces arrived in the premises, but they were "technologically very advanced" and "didn't look like anything we've fought against before."

The guard then noted that Venezuelan forces attempted to fight, but the confrontation 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," he added. Overall, some 100 Venezuelan forces were killed in the January 3 attack, according to Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello. I

Asked if their weapons had chances to pose some kind of counter-attack to U.S. forces, the guard said no 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 guard noted,

A former intelligence source told The New York Post that, if confirmed, it would be the first time an energy weapon is used in combat by the U.S.

He added that he had "never seen anything like it" and most "couldn't even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was." The interviewer then asked the guard if he thought the rest of the region "should think twice before confronting the Americans," to which he answered "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."
