“The Discombobulator” then was aimed directly at Maduro’s defenders.

“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,” the witness said.

Uh, this sounds a lot like what people who were afflicted with Havana Syndrome reported experiencing. If this is a US weapon, then that explains why the government is refusing to acknowledge it.
