Taliban fighters watched the last U.S. planes disappear into the sky over Afghanistan around midnight Monday and then fired their guns into the air, celebrating victory after a 20-year insurgency that drove the world’s most powerful military out of one of the poorest countries. Walkaway Joe Biden, take a victory lap.

Let’s take a moment to reflect on what has happened in just one short week. The Taliban drove out the world’s mightiest army, armed themselves with billions of dollars of American warfighting materials, ISIS slaughtered 13 US servicemen and women and over 170 civilians. Walkaway Joe ordered drone strikes that killed 7 Afghan children, and then managed to leave nearly 250 Americans stranded in what is now the world’s largest terror nation.

“And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.” Daniel 5:25,26 (KJB)

To call America a nation in decline would be almost a compliment at this point, such is the cataclysmic disarray we find ourselves in as the United States drifts leaderless into a uncertain future. Joe Biden impatiently checked his watch during the ceremony the other day of transferring the dead bodies of the slain US soldiers, putting the cherry on top of his already fine work. What would our Founding Fathers think of all this? I think you already know the answer to that, but in case you don’t, here it is.

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

Taliban celebrate victory as U.S. troops leave Afghanistan

FROM THE AP: The departure of the U.S. cargo planes marked the end of a massive airlift in which tens of thousands of people fled Afghanistan, fearful of the return of Taliban rule after the militants took over most of the country and rolled into the capital earlier this month. “The last five aircraft have left, it’s over!” said Hemad Sherzad, a Taliban fighter stationed at Kabul’s international airport. “I cannot express my happiness in words. … Our 20 years of sacrifice worked.”

In Washington, Gen. Frank McKenzie, head of U.S. Central Command, announced the completion of America’s longest war and the evacuation effort, saying the last planes took off from Kabul airport at 3:29 p.m. EDT — one minute before midnight Monday in Kabul.

“We did not get everybody out that we wanted to get out,” he said.

With its last troops gone, the U.S. ended its 20-year war with the Taliban back in power. Many Afghans remain fearful of their rule or of further instability, and there have been sporadic reports of killings and other abuses in areas under Taliban control despite the group’s pledges to restore peace and security.

“American soldiers left the Kabul airport, and our nation got its full independence,” Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said early Tuesday.

The U.S. and its allies invaded Afghanistan shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attack on the United States, which al-Qaida orchestrated while sheltering under Taliban rule. The invasion drove the Taliban from power in a matter of weeks and scattered Osama bin Laden and other top al-Qaida leaders. The U.S. and its allies launched an ambitious effort to rebuild Afghanistan after decades of war, investing billions of dollars in a Western-style government and security forces. Women, who had been largely confined to their homes under the Taliban’s hard-line rule, benefitted from access to education and came to assume prominent roles in public life.

But the Taliban never went away.

In the coming years, as the U.S. focused on another troubled war in Iraq and the Afghan government became mired in corruption, the Taliban regrouped in the countryside and in neighboring Pakistan. In recent years, they seized large parts of rural Afghanistan and carried out near-daily assaults on Afghan security forces. Eager to end the war, the Trump administration signed a peace deal with the Taliban in February 2020 that paved the way for the withdrawal. President Joe Biden extended the deadline from May to August and continued with the pullout despite the Taliban’s rapid blitz across the country earlier this month.

Now the Taliban control all of Afghanistan except for the mountainous Panjshir province, where a few thousand local fighters and remnants of Afghanistan’s collapsed security forces have pledged to resist them. The Taliban say they are seeking a peaceful resolution there. They face much graver challenges now that they govern one of the poorest and most war-ravaged nations on Earth.

In recent days Afghans have lined up outside banks as an economic crisis that predates the Taliban takeover worsens. A string of attacks by the Islamic State extremist group’s local affiliate, including a barrage of rockets fired at the airport Monday, shows the security challenges the Taliban face.

On Thursday, an Islamic State suicide attack at an airport gate killed at least 169 Afghans and 13 U.S. service members. The extremist group is far more radical than the Taliban, and the two groups have fought each other before. The Taliban say they will prevent Afghanistan from again being used as a base for terror attacks, a pledge that will likely be tested soon. McKenzie said the Taliban were “significantly helpful” in enabling the airlift but will have difficulty securing Kabul in the coming days, not least because of the threat they face from IS. He said the Taliban had freed IS fighters from prisons, swelling their ranks to an estimated 2,000.

“Now they are going to be able to reap what they sowed,” the American general said.

Many Afghans fear the Taliban themselves, who governed the country under a harsh interpretation of Islamic law from 1996 until 2001. In those years they banned television and music, barred women from attending school or working outside the home, and carried out public executions. The Taliban have sought to project a more moderate image since the takeover. They say women will be able to attend school and work, and have renounced any revenge attacks on Afghans who worked with the former government, the U.S. or its allies.

Many Afghans are deeply skeptical of such promises, and fear of the Taliban’s rule drove tens of thousands to flee the country over the past two weeks. Thousands more waited in vain outside the airport, many of them standing for hours in a sewage canal. The Kabul international airport had been one of the few ways out. At one point people flooded onto the tarmac and seven fell to their deaths after clinging to a plane that was taking off. Another seven died in a stampede of people outside an airport gate.

Walkaway Joe Leaves Americans Stranded In Afghanistan

The Taliban have said they will allow normal travel, but it is unclear how they will run the airport and which commercial carriers will begin flying in, given security concerns. Qatar, a close U.S. ally that has long hosted a Taliban political office, has been taking part in negotiations about operations at the airport with Afghan and international parties, mainly the U.S. and Turkey. Qatari Assistant Foreign Minister Lolwa al-Khater said its main priority is restoring regular operations while maintaining security at the airport.

The last known U.S. military operation in Afghanistan came Sunday, when American officials said a drone strike blew up a vehicle carrying IS suicide bombers who were planning to attack the airport. But like so much about the Afghanistan war, it may not have gone as planned. Relatives of those killed in Sunday’s strike said it killed civilians who had nothing to do with the extremist group. Najibullah Ismailzada said his brother-in-law, Zemarai Ahmadi, had just arrived home from his job working with a Korean charity. As he drove into the garage, his children came out to greet him, and that is when the missile struck.

“We lost 10 members of our family,” Ismailzada said, including six children raging in age from 2 to 8. He said another relative, Naser Nejrabi, who was a former soldier in the Afghan army and a former interpreter for the U.S. military, also was killed, along with two teenagers. U.S. officials have acknowledged the reports of civilian casualties without confirming them. READ MORE

NTEB RADIO BIBLE STUDY: As Modern-Day Iran Teeters On The Brink Of Collapse, Now Would Be A Good Time To Study About Persia And The Prophecy Of Elam

Tonight we will attempt to plumb the depths of what your King James Bible has to say about Iran’s past, their present, and their biblically-prophesied future

In the news at this very moment, the nation of Iran run by the ayatollahs is on the verge of collapse as the Iranian people continue to protest hourly in the streets, demanding regime change. Now if this was just about any other country, it would just be an interesting turn of events taking place in the Middle East. But this is not any other nation, this is Iran, also know in the Bible as Persia in general and Elam in particular. When Daniel gets his great vision of the coming world empires, in the closing days of Babylon, he is at the palace in Shushan in Elam.

“And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.” Daniel 8:2 (KJB)

On this episode of Rightly Dividing, the nation of Iran is a powder keg right now, and even while doing this Bible study tonight, you can rest assured we will also be monitoring the news to give breaking updates if the situation warrants it. But what if Iran falls either tonight or in the very near future, what happens after that? Glad you asked? Tonight we will attempt to plumb the depths of what your King James Bible has to say about Iran’s past, their present, and their biblically-prophesied future.

I thanked God for sending to your website in 2015 , I live in the South of France near Nice and let me tell you here there isn’t any Bible Believing church at all, the sad reality of France is that is full of freemasons and Muslims. You came to me at the time I was going to take my own life because of my job. You’re anointed person and I pray for you, family and ministry because you’re a blessing to all of us. May God bless you always. I know I’ll meet you in heaven one day. Lots of Love from your sister in Christ, Paula.

“Hi Geoffrey and staff, Today is my one year anniversary that I got saved on your podcast! I am now a KJB only, I threw away my other two versions I had. I was shocked to learn of the differences and how the new versions twist the words of God, and dilute the message at best. Thank you for the fabulous bible education and fire for the Lord. I donate on your website throughout the year. Thanks for all that you do.” Donna

“I have been reading on NTEB for about 5 years and listening as I can to your services. If I could list the encouragement, the doctrines, the awareness of what is coming (our blessed hope) but also the last days culture in which I live that you have taught me, this email wouldn’t fit in this letter. Because of you, I am a stronger more equipped soldier for Jesus Christ. Thank you sir for you, your ministry in my life. Faithful to the end because He lives in me.” Ruthie Dennis
“My name is Carl N from Mumbai, India. My wife Andrea and I have been ardent listeners of your Bible Study and news update podcasts from the very start of the lockdown last year. In fact we make it a point to share these links with our family and friends… many times getting into trouble, as the truth upsets people. We cannot even begin to tell you how this has changed our lives and walk with the Lord. Thank you so much for what you’ve been doing for the Kingdom!! We’ve even switched Bible translations to the KJV. For the last month or so, you’ve been speaking about making end times Bible study materials available. This got us really excited, as we’re eager to use these for our weekly house church group.” Carl N – Mumbai, India
“I listen to your podcasts often. Very enlightening and I’ve learned a lot. I’m Catholic and followed the Holy Bible throughout my life however, since listening to your podcasts, I’ve learned much more. I recently sent NTEB a small donation. I’d like to do so again in the future. I’ve also signed up for NTEB chatroom. Anyways, I have a downloaded version of KJB on my computer and I follow your Bible Study with my pdf version KJB. You have offered to send out printed version of KJB if requested. If not too much trouble, when you or your staff get the opportunity please send me a copy.” Kevin W – Frankfurt, Germany
Just wanted to let you know that your ministry is producing fruit. After listening to the studies and church on NTEB, I was motivated to write witness letters along with NTEB gospel tracks to friends from my hometown who I know are not saved. I sent two of the letters to former Catholic priests of mine….I attached the response from him urging me to read the book “Prove It!.” My wife and I have been placing your gospel tracks in different places we visit. This coming Sunday, I am hosting my first Bible study in my house with some people in our neighborhood. Tomorrow evening I have been given a chance to teach the lesson to our youth church group (our church is very Laodicean), and I am going to talk to the youth on end times. Thank you so much for your ministry and encouraging us to get something done for Jesus while we still can! Thomas B
“The sole purpose of this email to you is to let you know how much we have been blessed by your amazing ministry/website. ‘We’ is my wife and I, in our early forties, 3 kids, professing, churchgoing, bible believing Christians in The Netherlands. Since two months, I listen to your bible studies on Sunday evening, and since this week also to your prophecy podcast. I listen to them in the archives, because of the 6 hour time difference. The shofar and the blessing at 0:30 into the study never fails to make tears in my eyes. We are praying for you, we are praying for your voice, that it lasts in these incredible busy times for you. Listening to your podcasts, you seem to do it effortlessly, talking, scanning the chatbox for questions, diving into the texts, from Genesis to Revelation and everything in between, I love it when you realize after 1:30h into the study, actually a lot more subjects need to be addressed! Thank you for all your work and effort, you are doing an amazing job. Although it all seems effortlessly, I know it is not…Our faith is strengthened by your work and we are able to testify in a better way to the people around us!” Wouter D. van der Wiel – Netherlands
“Wanted to send you encouragement and thank you for all you are doing!! I’ve been reading from this website for about 5 years and I’ve been on this at least 10 times a day. It’s the most honest prophecy website in history. And you have ministered to me greatly. This lockdown has been amazing as God gets us unto himself and smooths out the paths for us. I was reading devotional from Kenneth Copeland and during that time you had really hit That ministries hard. I was not Word Faith but I was feeding off his teaching. During this time I have removed Kenneth Copeland I wanted to thank you for your exposure of his ministry. Holy Spirit is truly the leader of all truths. The bible study on Bill Gates was tremendous. And I had the same check in my spirit as you did. He’s the guy that gonna lead this one world revolution Amazing times we live in. I’m super excited and living in total victory and peace. Once again thank you for the time you put in your reward in heaven will truly be great. Looking forward to this coming week. My prayer tonight is this …Father send Your Son!! DG
“Thank you oh so much for sound teaching. I am so thankful and blessed for clicking on your channel. I have been on your Facebook page since 2011 and never subscribed to you-tube channel until today. I loved the live recording of singing, what a delight to hear the joy of the Lord in the voices of the congregation. So wonderful to hear the part about Luke 12:36, that has made my eyebrows furrow when I read and therefore I have always steadfast to not leaning on my own understanding. May God continue to bless you, your family friends and loved ones. All Glory be to Jesus, my Saviour Redeemer and King, Amen.” Susan Anderson
“Loved this teaching! Presented in a clear contextual manner that was easy to follow along. You connected the dots for me that had previously brought so much confusion, namely the 4th seal covenant, the 5th seal tribulation saints, and the 6th seal 2nd Coming of Christ AFTER the wedding of the Body/Bride of Christ IN HEAVEN. Wow, after 41 years since my being born again by the Holy Spirit in to the Body of Christ, I finally have the answers to end the confusion. What joy and peace has flooded my heart! Thank you for this encouraging teaching of the Word.” SB
“I am from Sri Lanka and listen to the radio Bible study every week.” Nihal Perera

Nothing thrills my soul like teaching the word of God, it is what the Lord called me to do 29 years ago, and Now The End Begins is the vehicle in which I am able to do it. How exciting it is to be able to teach the Bible to tens of thousands of people per year. Like I told you with the first post of 2020, I have dedicated myself now full-time to NTEB, and it is only through your generous support that such a thing is possible.

“I’m a KJB believer. We’re so close to being “caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord. I have many lost family who don’t want the truth, including my husband & son. I’ve been banned from seeing my grandsons since I comforted the 4 1/2 year old with sharing Jesus loving the little children & telling him about the one who created him last he stayed overnight March 3rd. He was so excited to hear about Jesus! His dad (my son) was angry that I told him & wants me to apologize. I never will do so. If my own family won’t hear, I know there’s others searching for the truth. My heart grieves for all the lost who will spend eternity in hell if they reject the Lord Jesus Christ, the expectant hope of the world. He is not willing that any should perish. God bless your ministry, Geoffrey! (I continue to pass out your tracts & you’re on my prayer list!)” LouAnn Benham

THE BIBLE BELIEVERS SUNDAY SERVICE: What Are You Fishing For?

Published

21 hours ago

January 11, 2026

Geoffrey Grider

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Jesus called us to be ‘fishers of men’, on this Sunday Service I’d like to ask today what are you personally fishing for in your walk with the Lord?

Recently we have watched some horrific events unfold in the news, gruesome scenes where people died, where people were killed by other people, and then we saw the unspeakable take place. We watched as Christians rejoiced in the death of the wicked. How can that be? My message today will not be popular, in fact, I fully expect it to be received with animosity, a strong hostility if you will, because today my aim and my goal will be to preach against politics, against The Right and The Left, and to remind you of what God has left you here to do. Jesus said “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”, something that blew their minds because the rest of the verse says “And they marvelled at him.” Well, buckle up, it’s going to blow a bunch of minds here today, too.

“Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.” Proverbs 4:27 (KJB)

<span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span>

SUNDAY SERVICE STUDY NOTES: What Are You Fishing For?

What Are You Fishing For?

I. GOD DOES NOT REJOICE IN DEATH — AND NEITHER SHOULD WE

Ezekiel 33:11 (KJB)
“Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?”

Proverbs 24:17–18 (KJB)
“Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.”

Key Truth:
Celebrating death—saved or lost—is never presented in Scripture as godly behavior.

II. THE MISSION OF JESUS CHRIST SETS THE PRIORITY

Luke 19:10 (KJB)
“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

2 Peter 3:9 (KJB)
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

Key Truth:
If Christ’s mission was to seek and save the lost, rejoicing when a lost soul dies contradicts His purpose.

III. THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOT A POLITICAL KINGDOM

John 18:36 (KJB)
“Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.”

Philippians 3:20 (KJB)
“For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:”

Colossians 3:1–2 (KJB)
“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”

Key Truth:
When believers act like political warriors instead of ambassadors, they forget where their citizenship lies.

IV. CHRIST COMMANDS LOVE, NOT VENGEANCE

Matthew 5:44 (KJB)
“But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;”

Romans 12:17–19 (KJB)
“Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”

Romans 12:21 (KJB)
“Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.”

Key Truth:
Mockery, celebration of death, and verbal cruelty are works of the flesh, not spiritual warfare.

V. THE SERVANT OF THE LORD MUST NOT STRIVE

2 Timothy 2:24–26 (KJB)
“And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.”

James 1:19–20 (KJB)
“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.”

Key Truth:
Political rage produces clicks, not converts.

VI. God Commands Christians To Avoid Brawling And Evil Speech

Titus 3:2–3 (KJB)
“To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.”

Ephesians 4:31–32 (KJB)
“Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”

Key Truth:
If God forgave us when we were His enemies, we have no biblical ground to mock others in death.

VII. WE ARE ALL CALLED TO THE SAME GOSPEL

1 Corinthians 1:10 (KJB)
“Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.”

1 Corinthians 3:3–4 (KJB)
“For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?”

Key Truth:
Replacing “Paul” and “Apollos” with “Left” and “Right” does not change God’s verdict.

CONCLUSION: A FINAL HEART CHECK

Luke 19:10 (KJB)
“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

My Closing Appeal Today Is This:
Before you speak…
Before you post…
Before you celebrate…

Ask yourself this question:
Does this help seek and save the lost — or does it gratify my flesh?

If it doesn’t point sinners to Christ, it isn’t the will of God. The same mercy God showed to us while we were lost is the mercy He expects us to extend to others — even those we strongly oppose.

OPERATION ABSOLUTE RESOLVE: Why Did The White House Just Post A Completely Unverified Story About ‘Sonic Mystery Weapons’ Used In Attack On Venezuela?

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

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
