Former MP Radar Warning Validated by Raid
In a prophetic campaign address just ahead of the January 12 Tobago House of Assembly (THA) elections, former Tobago West MP Shamfa Cudjoe-Lewis issued a grave warning that the US military presence in Tobago has placed a « target on our backs ». Speaking to PNM supporters, the former MP dismantled the official narrative that the US installation at ANR Robinson International Airport was merely for humanitarian aid or « building schools and roads ».
Cudjoe-Lewis blasted the explanations given by government officials, ridiculing claims that the facility was a « Christmas gift » or a « natural part » of airport operations. She accused THA Chief Secretary Farley Augustine of incompetence for admitting he learned of the base’s true nature through the newspapers, asserting that both he and Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar have « sold out » the island’s sovereignty.
The former MP’s rhetoric struck a chilling chord when she argued that the radar site—identified as an AN/TPS-80 G/ATOR system—makes Tobago the « first place to bomb » in any regional conflict. She contended that the infrastructure was never about paving roads but was a strategic military foothold for Washington.
Prophecy Fulfilled: US Raids Venezuela
In a stunning turn of events that vindicated Cudjoe-Lewis’s fears almost immediately, the geopolitical reality shifted violently just hours after her speech. Early the very next morning, Saturday, January 3, US forces launched « Operation Absolute Resolve, » a high-stakes military raid into Venezuela. The operation resulted in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, with US forces utilizing regional military assets to execute the extraction.
The raid has sent shockwaves across the Caribbean, confirming for many that the « radar » in Tobago is indeed a critical node in active US combat operations. Cudjoe-Lewis’s warning that the island sits on the frontline of a brewing war has transformed from campaign rhetoric into a stark reality overnight.
