For those unfamiliar - the U.S. gov't has a centuries-long history of callous disregard for the lives and welfare of Americans who were faithfully serving their country. Not saying they are much different from other org's that way - but definitely keep it in mind, if you're feeling any patriotic urges. With the number of Havana Syndrome incidents, and the relatively high profiles of the targets, you'd think that somebody would have developed miniaturized passive sensors (for microwave, sonic, etc. bursts) and started distributing those. Seems worth looking into, if you suspect you or someone you care about might become a target.

For me, this is the smoking gun: > Our confidential sources tell us the still classified weapon has been tested in a U.S. military lab for more than a year. Tests on rats and sheep show injuries consistent with those seen in humans. Also, as a separate part of the investigation, security camera videos have been collected that show Americans being hit. The videos are classified but they were described to us. In one, a camera in a restaurant in Istanbul captured two FBI agents on vacation sitting at a table with their families. A man with a backpack walks in and suddenly everyone at the table grabs their head as if in pain. Our sources say another video comes from a stairwell in the U.S. embassy in Vienna. The stairs lead to a secure facility. In the video, two people on the stairs suddenly collapse.

The idea of microwaving rats (and sheep) makes me sick.

Hey, the link leads to a summary of a 60 Minutes segment. We know that CBS News Editor-in-chief Bari Weiss has spiked at least one major 60 Minutes story that was unfavorable for Trump. Why did Ms Weiss let this one through? Given her history and predilections, we can surmise that she thinks this story is good for Trump, or at least bad for his enemies. Looks like 60 Minutes bills it as a "massive CIA cover-up". Trump must be hunting for CIA heads for some reason. Has Iran War intelligence been particularly useless or something?
