White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt posts unverified account of ‘sonic mystery’ directed energy weapon used in Venezuela attack.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt just did a really, really weird thing. She’s the official spokesperson for the President of the United States, and on the official Press Secretary social media channel on X, she urged all Americans to “Stop what you are doing and read this…” What does she want us all to read? A completely unverified account by a “witness to the attack” telling us about mystery weapons ‘being used to ‘bring the Venezuelan security forces to their knees without a fight’. Hmm…

“Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.” Isaiah 26:2 (KJB)

I’ll be honest with you. When I first heard of this story, it sounded like a winner. A witness on the ground in Venezuela who watched it all unfold, describing the piercing agony of Maduro’s soldiers being brought to their knees with super-advanced ‘mystery weapons’ that sounded a like a Directed Energy Weapon. Wow, that’s great stuff! I was all set to run with that story until (insert the sound of screeching brakes) I saw it also posted on the White House Press Secretary’s social media page, tantalizingly unverified. You would think that for someone like Karoline Leavitt, who makes her living dishing out only verified accounts of what the president is saying, she could have taken 5 minutes and verified her post. But she didn’t. Why not? Maybe this account is true, but if it is, why is the official spokesperson for the president being so coy about it? It sounds to me just like the type of self-glorifying “press release” you’d expect from the Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda from WWII. Everything you need to make an informed decision follows below, please post your comments and let us know if you think this is all legit.

US used powerful mystery weapon that brought Venezuelan soldiers to their knees during Maduro raid: witness account

FROM THE NY POST: The US used a powerful mystery weapon that brought Venezuelan soldiers to their knees, “bleeding through the nose” and vomiting blood during the daring raid to capture dictator Nicolas Maduro, according to a witness account posted Saturday on X by the White House press secretary.

In a jaw-dropping interview, the guard described how American forces wiped out hundreds of fighters without losing a single soldier, using technology unlike anything he has ever seen — or heard.

“We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation,” the guard said. “The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn’t know how to react.” Moments later, a handful of helicopters appeared — “barely eight,” by his count — deploying what he estimated were just 20 US troops into the area. But those few men, he said, came armed with something far more powerful than guns.

“They were technologically very advanced,” the guard recalled. “They didn’t look like anything we’ve fought against before.” What ensued, he said, was not a battle, but a slaughter. “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.” Then came the weapon that still haunts him.

“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.” The effects were immediate and horrific.

“We all started bleeding from the nose,” he said. “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.”

The White House did not immediately respond to a question regarding whether Karoline Leavitt’s sharing of the post — captioned, “Stop what you are doing and read this…” — indicated the administration was verifying the veracity of the eyewitness account.

An estimated 100 Venezuelan security forces were killed in the Jan. 3 attack, according to the country’s Interior Ministry. It is unclear if any of those were caused by the mystery weapon. The outmatched defenders were helpless as the small US unit wiped them out, the guard said.

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

The US has had so-called directed energy weapons technology for years, an ex-US intelligence source told The Post, noting that some systems have  the capability to produce at least some of the symptoms, including “bleeding, inability to move or function, pain and burning.”

“I’m sending a warning to anyone who thinks they can fight the United States,” he said. “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.”

The guard said the raid has already sent shockwaves across Latin America — especially after President Donald Trump recently warned that Mexico is now ‘on the list.’ “Everyone is already talking about this,” he said. “No one wants to go through what we went through. What happened here is going to change a lot of things — not just in Venezuela, but throughout the region.” READ MORE

Iran is teetering on the brink of collapse with a massive internet blackout sparking fears of a “massacre” and the regime’s “missile cities” on alert.

Iran right now is a nation on the brink of violent regime change as a frustrated people tired of authoritarian rule combined with a terrible economy have taken to rioting in the streets. This is not the first time this has happened in recent years to the terror-supporting state, but this time it looks like it just may happen. But it’s hard to get a true read on what’s going on inside their borders as their internet has been unplugged, making it very hard to get information to the outside world.

“Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.” Jeremiah 49:35 (KJB)

You read many times in your King James Bible about a man named Elam, a son of Shem, whose descendants became the Elamites, and we follow them from Genesis all through the prophets, and right up to the day of Pentecost in Acts 2. According to Isaiah and Jeremiah, both Elam and the Elamites will play a big role at the Second Advent. Where is Elam, you ask? It’s in Iran. In Bible prophecy, the region of Elam – Persia – Iran, different names for the same place, plays a huge role. This is why we keep a closer eye on Iran and Iraq than we do the other Muslim nations, these are the ‘hot spots’ in prophecy. Iran at this moment is rapidly reaching the boiling point of a revolution that now only needs the arrival of a charismatic leader to push it over the edge.

Iran activates ‘missile cities’ over ‘Death to Dictator’ uprising as regime’s blackout sparks fear of ‘massacre’

FROM THE SUN US: As Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei barely clings to power, Donald Trump has warned the US “will get involved” if the mullah regime uses violence to crack down on demonstrators. At least 65 people including nine children have reportedly died amid the carnage which kicked off on December 28 and now marks the greatest challenge the Islamic regime has faced in years. Over 2,300 protesters have also been arrested with the violent demonstrations entering the two-week mark.

As Iranians took to the streets for the 14th consecutive day on Friday they were heard chanting anti-government slogans including: “Death to Khamenei!”

Hundreds of towns including the capital have been plunged into total anarchy – with shocking footage showing streets up in flames and swarms of locals destroying buildings. Trembling authorities have used tear gas to disperse large crowds of furious locals, while US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency has reported gunfire across the country. Iran’s prosecutor-general Mohammad Movahedi Azad warned on Saturday that all protesters would face the death penalty, as he vowed to charge “rioters and terrorists” as “enemies of god”. Top Ayatollah crony and Tehran’s chief prosecutor Ali Salehi has also vowed to use the death penalty on some if they commit acts of vandalism.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has been placed on the highest state of alert and authorities have activated “missile cities” – vast underground complexes packed with ballistic missiles. “We’ll be hitting them very hard where it hurts.”

Threatening to punish the mullahs if they killed protesters, the US president said: “You better not start shooting because we’ll start shooting too.” On Saturday Iran’s army urged citizens to stay alert to thwart what it called “enemy plots” in a desperate bid to blame other countries including the US for the national outrage.

The Ayatollah’s teetering regime has cut off all internet across Iran and plunged the nation into a near total communications blackout. Fears are now mounting that the Islamic Republic is cloaking a bloody crackdown. Iranian Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi said the mullahs may be planning a “massacre under the cover of a sweeping communications blackout”. READ MORE

Iran Protests LIVE | Death Toll Crosses 65, Anger Rises Against Khamenei Regime’s Crackdown | Tehran

Iranians took to the streets in new protests to press the biggest movement against the Islamic republic in more than three years, as authorities sustained an internet blackout as part of a crackdown that has left dozens dead. Protests have taken place across Iran for 13 days in a movement sparked by anger over the rising cost of living, with growing calls for the end of the clerical system that has ruled Iran since the 1979 Islamic revolution, which ousted the pro-Western shah.

Trump says that Greenland will be his one way or the other but Denmark is not onboard and says that troops have been ordered to shoot on sight

Danish troops must open fire, even without direct orders, if invaders try to capture Greenland by force, Denmark’s Defense Ministry said as the US weighs military action to annex the land. The ministry confirmed Wednesday that soldiers are required to uphold a Cold War-era rule to “immediately take up the fight” against any foreign force threatening Danish territory, local Berlingske reported. Donald Trump said last night that the rules do not apply to him, and will act accordingly.

“Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:” Joel 3:9 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen slammed the Trump administration’s latest attempts to claim the island as a US territory, saying an attack on the autonomous territory would mark an end to the NATO defense alliance. “If the United States chooses to attack another NATO country militarily, then everything stops,” Frederiksen said. In other news, Trump is also saying that land strikes in Mexico on the “drug cartels” will be starting soon, so brace yourselves for that. Trump was asked by the New York Times if there were any limits on his global powers, Mr. Trump said: “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me. I don’t need international law” Welcome to Day 2,125 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve.
