🚨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.

Not a fan of this offering but I imagine the institutions shelling out $200M a few weeks later at 50% premium to last offering must know more. $ONDS

[SeekTheAlpha @SeekTheAlpha]

I'm just going to put this out there but this call activity in $ONDS, to me, is very telling. No way someone is here buying $1M+ premium in 9C's for Oct or Dec without knowing something.

I'll bet on one or the other, a potential buyout offer on Networks (maybe even all of ONDS?) or a massive gov't contract is pending announcement for north of $50M.

I have no idea which it could be, just speculation.

Hostile drones are growing by the day.

That’s why I’ve directed @SecArmy to establish the Joint Interagency Task Force 401 to secure our skies.

The more I read Dr. Karp’s no. 1 bestseller, The Technological Republic, the more I realize how much he and @elonmusk view the need for transparency and accountability the same.

Karp thinks public sector salaries SHOULD be higher. Take for example his insights on Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s salary (pg 179-181):

“The decisions that Powell himself makes are easily some of the most consequential in the world... And yet Congress pays him around $190,000 per year. In the private sector, such a salary would be considered absurd, given the scale and impact of the role... At that salary, Powell is essentially volunteering his time to the country.”

Elon JUST posted about this concept yesterday – that government officials actually need to be incentivized to perform at the highest levels. Karp speaks very highly of Elon throughout the book and quite frankly the reason for that, if you’ve been following his public keynotes over the past 4 years, is because he has said many times that the legitimacy of our public institutions is in question. Part of the reason Palantir wins so many government deals is because they are seen as a form of legitimizing institutions that MUST work and need transformative software IN ORDER to work.

DOGE is emblematic of trying to fix the inputs within a system to receive better outputs, something Karp has said we needed to do for a very long time, so it makes sense that he’s also a fan of DOGE.

The question now becomes if we as a society are ready to acknowledge the inherent human nature that can be congruent with working in the public sector by rewarding those individuals as if they were in the private sector to get the same level of output, dedication, quality, and productivity to make sure the government functions in a way that actually serves all their citizens.
