An article published on January 24 featuring an interview by the New York Post with President Trump confirms that a secret new weapon was used during the U.S. raid in Venezuela to capture President Nicholas Maduro. Trump calls the weapon “The Discombobulator” but said “I’m not allowed to talk about it.” Trump stated that the exotic weapon “made [enemy] equipment not work.”
The President added “They never got their rockets off. They had Russian and Chinese rockets, and they never got one off. We came in, they pressed buttons and nothing worked. They were all set for us.”
Mind Blown (Literally)
This confirms some of the far out reports coming from Caracas describing a scene more akin to science fiction than conventional warfare. On-the-ground accounts by Venezuelan soldiers stated “suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation,” and “We all started bleeding from the nose. 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 use of a secret weapon like “The Discombobulator” would go a long way to explaining how a handful of US soldiers were able to overcome over a hundred of Maduro’s guards and extract him and his wife without suffering a single US casualty.
Perhaps this is the first step in the Pentagon’s disclosure of the use of secret weapons used by US super soldiers
According to the Post, Trump began elaborating on the secret weapon after being asked about reports that the Pentagon had purchased a pulsed energy weapon that could be used in cases involving “Havana Syndrome.” The Pentagon has long denied the validity of the Havana Syndrome, relegating it to a conspiracy theory.

This Is Not Your Father’s (Mountain) DEW
The exotic secret weaponry described by President Trump and soldier reports coming out of Venezuela most likely describe a type of directed energy weapon (DEW). This category of weaponry is not secret per say, but its status has been generally stated by the DOD as “under development.”
On July 11, 2024, the US Congress published a report on the effort by the Department of Defense (DOD) to develop and procure directed energy weapons (DEW). The implications for the report included funding requirements and future applications for said technology.
According to the DOD, DEWs are weapons using “concentrated electromagnetic energy, rather than kinetic energy, to incapacitate, damage, disable, or destroy enemy equipment, facilities, and/or personnel.” Weapons that fall under this category include high-powered microwave (HPM) weapons and high-energy laser (HEL).
Relevant to our discussion on US troops in Venezuelan, HELs can be used by ground forces for a variety of missions. This includes short-range air defense (SHORAD) and counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS). HPM weapons however, use a nonkinetic means for disabling the enemies’ communications systems and electronics.
This of course is just the tip of the iceberg in the Pentagon’s arsenal. Expect the conflicts of the near future to be a lot more like War of the Worlds (with some The Matrix thrown in to mess with your head).
