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.
Your entire military footprint in Greenland amounts to roughly 130 personnel. Pituffik Space Base alone is larger, and historically housed around 6,000. Framing this as a looming war is absurd.
What you do have is a self-inflicted global stalemate: loudly backing Ukraine while still buying Russian oil; sermonizing about democracy while condemning Maduro’s ouster; ignoring protests in Iran while fretting over the return of a king... all contradictions that conveniently sustain NGO growth and EU rent-seeking.
Like it or not, Trump is dismantling your grift and rewriting the world order. You don't have any logical reason to oppose it, except you hate that your era of dependence on US taxpayers is finally ending. So all you can do is appeal to emotions and invent a war out of thin cloth.
The Older Millennial exposes the truth about Renee Nicole Good, the woman shot by ICE in Minneapolis“
Just a little tidbit about the Left's new hero. She only has custody of one of her kids, and the reason she only has custody of one is that her domestic partner, a woman, she likes to beat the sh*t out of kids and put cigarettes out on their arm. And she chose that woman over her kids.
Yeah, the court was basically like, hold on, if you're gonna stay with her, you don't get to keep the kids. And she was like, yeah, yeah, that's fine. So when people were asking, why was this mother not at home taking care of her children? Because her children were taken away from her because her their partner likes to beat the shit out of them and use their f*cking arms as ashtrays.
It's amazing to me that every hero of the left turns out to be an awful human being. Like that's not surprising, but it's the reality because anybody that would believe in the ideology that the left believes, anybody that would take action and try to run over a federal agent. I could assume that they were an idiotic piece of sh*t”
Here are just 5 things that happened in the UK this week:
-we discovered police in our second city, Birmingham, are doing the bidding of Islamist extremists while scapegoating Jews who were targeted for Muslim violence
-we learn child rapists & criminals have been allowed to become police officers partly because of woke DEI “diversity” recruitment drives
-the United Arab Emirates is so concerned about the risk of Islamist radicalization in the UK they have just restricted support for UAE students to study at UK universities
-supposedly neutral civil servants told journalists they will either quit their job or work to block policies if the British people dare to elect a Reform government that actually wants to tackle much of this by slashing immigration, ending DEI & banning Muslim Brotherhood
-and the Labour government is so scared of the British people and open debate it is moving to both postpone local elections in areas where Reform is forecast to surge and ban Elon Musk’s X platform All these things happened. In just a few days. We are quite obviously destroying our country.

So the US used the sound system (LRAD) to control the soldiers. This should have been done by Abbott along the US border when shit britches OBiden was in office. But---noooo.

Asking for a friend, is the reporter in the first tweet the same guy as the "mostly peaceful protest" CNN video?

Same reason that is who works at Walmart. No retirement savings and their only source of income.

It’s remarkable what the president of the United States can do just by trying to do what’s best for the country.
After World War II, Western intellectuals argued over what gives rise to extremist ideologies such as Nazism and Communism. The answer that eventually won the discourse was fallibilist universalism, heavily influenced by Karl Popper. Hitler and Stalin both claimed access to absolute moral truth, and both used that claim to justify authoritarian rule. Fallibilism rejected this posture: no institution or ideology could claim final truth, so political systems had to remain pluralistic, self-correcting, and open to criticism.
Over time, however, this got distorted. Fallibilism’s insistence on epistemic humility was reinterpreted as the claim that objective truth does not exist at all. As that shift took hold, language itself drifted not only in meaning, but also as a weapon over which to manipulate people.... because if no objective truth exists, then narrative is the battlefield.
The humanitarian principles on which liberal democracies rested such as equality were redefined ever more narrowly and got warped, in order to tighten control over the narrative. And so in the end, Popper's Open Society hardened into a closed one resembling Communism.
Local law enforcement, at this point, is an absolute joke.
Sounds like it was an LRAD on steroids. Maybe has something to do with the story a few years back about people in Cuba getting hit by something causing them to stroke out.
