"The Discombobulator. I’m not allowed to talk about it. 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.”

Trump commented on the weapon when asked about reports this week that the Biden administration “Havana Syndrome.” Not much is known about the weapon, but those reports followed on-the-ground accounts from Venezuela describing how Maduro’s gunmen were brought to their knees, “bleeding through the nose” and vomiting blood. One member of the deposed strongman’s team of guards recounted afterward that “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.... 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. We couldn’t even stand up after that sonic weapon — or whatever it was."

Live: Man shot by federal agent in south Minneapolis this morning, witnesses say ~ Minnesota Star Tribune

"The video is already widely available. The guy was held down by 6-7 men and a masked agent shot him 5-6 times in front a busy donut shop."

If Donald Trump kills fewer than 25 Minnesotans with his ICE militia, he deserves a second Nobel Peace Prize.

This is where President Trump's gift for feeding wild speculation really comes into play. Maybe America really has a powerful non-projectile weapon for less lethal options. Maybe China and Russia were simply impotent against an American strike team. It's the kind of mystery with broad implications.

Cue Chariots of the Gods?, wherein von Daniken hypothesized that a sonic weapon was what brought down the walls of Jericho... My folks had a couple of hours books on the shelves when I was a kid, and I read them in something like horrified fascinating.

🙄 Fascination. Sigh

John henry said...

So busy "waxing their rockets" (iykwimaityd) they couldn't get their rocks off.

I wonder if pdjt used that construction "couldn't get their rockets off" on purpose?

Belittling Venezuelan machismo?

A non-lethal means of incapacitating people would be very useful in Minnesofraud and other places where leftist loons are getting violent.

He's bloviating about discombobulation.

That poor man had a gun. Close contact and the poor man may’ve been “going for it”.

And “JazzHands” Walz is doing his best to justify charges of obstruction with his hand wringing and idiotic commentary.

A flipping waste of space oxygen thief.

When leftists vomit half truths - the best thing to do is wait for the truth to sift out.

There, but for the grace of God, goes our vice president. Americans dodged a bullet.

From that Star-Tribune article: big if true - "ICE attempted to order local police from the scene, but [Mpls PD Chief] O’Hara refused, sources said."

Maybe it was a matter of "where's your perimeter? Ok, ours is across the street from it." But if he actually ordered his officers to disregard orders from ICE agents trying to secure a crime scene, he just committed a crime. CC, JSM

Guy was resisting arrest and pulled a gun. Justified.

this is CLEARLY a violation of the International LAW!
for International LAW says that Americans, HAVE TO play fair, and let the other side win

gilbar said...

IF governor Walz CARED about Minnesotans..
He'd be telling them NOT to try to kill Federal Officers
Of course, That is the EXACT Opposite of what he IS doing.

Kak? do YOU support the murder of Federal Officers?

gilbar said...

Department of Homeland Security officials said the man fatally shot by federal agents this morning in south Minneapolis was armed with a gun and two magazines.

Inga said...

“Guy was resisting arrest and pulled a gun. Justified.”

Lie. The gun was taken out of the victim’s waist holster, then he was shot, unarmed.

Inga said...

So, is Trump repealing the 2nd Amendment now?

Amazing that Kak and Inga can get so much information so fast, and it always aligns with their preconceptions.

Lucien said...

Apparently “discombobulate” is a word made up in the 1830’s as part of an American fad for creating Latin sounding words. (But now it’s perfectly cromulent.)

Aggie said...

"...Amazing that Kak and Inga can get so much information so fast, and it always aligns with their preconceptions...."

So keen to make their point, so eager to post they always somehow forget to include a link to 'widely available' so that others can view and judge for themselves. Aye - there's the rub: That whole 'judge for themselves' part.

"The video is already widely available. The guy was held down by 6-7 men and a masked agent shot him 5-6 times in front a busy donut shop."

Of course it was busy with all those cops there.

I do not know if our military has these kinds of weapons.

I want our enemies to think we do.

He is fighting a seditious insurrection.

Any being way too nice about it.

We have much worse waiting in the wings.

If we were allowed to actually kill the taliban or Al Qaeda it would have been over in a month.

People have no idea how effective our military is because we were always chained by shitheads in DC.

Did anyone else see that report that the Cuban guards sent to protect Maduro were returned to Cuba in "small boxes". I never saw any follow-up as to how exactly they were killed. Maybe this sonic weapon eventually causes its targets to explode???

Maybe it's s sonic shrinking ray.

More likely they were sold out by the Venezuelans who are currently in power now in Venezuela.

It would be absolutely shocking if there was no inside betrayal by Venezuelan security forces.

The easiest and cheapest way to take out someone like Maduro is to spend 500 million dollars on the 1000 security personal closest to him.

I also think it is quite possible that Maduro agreed to all of this and will be acquitted after a sham trial and end up retiring in Argentina.
