    Uninronicaly it's really fucking scary because this shit is used as an excuse to pass draconian laws. The House just unanimously passed a "Havana Syndrome" bill. That's not an online joke anymore, it's part of the legal record.

      The draconian laws are gonna get passed regardless. If they want to pass a law, they'll find an excuse. They don't need to wait for one to arrive
