Okay so conspiracy theory: Havana Syndrome doesn't exist, the symptoms were because of workplace stress and this is the governments way of a settlement without going to the courts.
Don't really think it's a conspiracy theory, and don't think it was initially even stress, but morphed into some subjective experience as time went on. It pretty much started as a CIA manufactured shit stirring cognitohazard. Patient zero was a CIA agent, not a diplomat as initially stated, and this agent presented "the sounds" to other agents and it basically carried on from there. No coincidence that this was around the same time the US was accusing Russian agents of gangstalking US "diplomats" all over Europe. Regular people who really felt they were being gangstalked were pissed off that some spooks were being taken seriously for the same shit people will otherwise consider as being "all in your head"
And as the CIA is want to do in these situations, they'll make a little money on the side
"wont to do". I'm not really correcting you, it's just a word that gets used so seldomly, it's nice to see it in the wild.
Meanwhile if us regular working stiffs try to do that we risk getting fired.
wish I could get that much money for having a hangover and hearing some crickets
Critical support for intelligence officers making excuses to not work
When I call in to work for a migraine I just get a load of hassle. Must be nice.
The Cuban government realized that the power to cause headaches and dizziness was too great for humankind to be trusted with.
Yeah, I got havana syndrome. Havana couple of beers that is
:grillman:
Didn't the CIA director recently just straight up say it's always been bullshit?
The pesky Russians moved all their Havana Cannons to Ukraine to help with the war effort.
What if, now hear me out, like what if some of the agents that experienced this were actually experiencing the testing of some experimental tech on the part of the US a la Ultra?
Soon we'll have wave guns on the streets, all the hip kids will power up, log in, and wave out. Just people blasting each other in the face in open air broad daylight wave markets. It will have clinical applications, and tech bros will micro wave a little each day to get the positive benefits conferred on workplace productivity. They'll be so many frequencies the fcc and dea won't be able to keep up and they'll be forced to legalize the wave. Everyone can just stream content and wave dome all day every day and live happily ever after
Meanwhile, the old people are screaming "YOU ARE LITERALLY MICROWAVING YOUR BRAIN!" :matt-jokerfied:
Did Havana Syndrome seem like the symptoms of “guilty conscience” to anyone else?
Apparently the first cases happened alongside the embassy spraying pesticide around its grounds to control mosquitoes, and matched the symptoms of being poisoned by pesticide. I've also seen it speculated that since the second "outbreak" coincided with the US losing the poppy fields in Afghanistan that that one was heroin withdrawal by state department and CIA ghouls involved in smuggling heroin.
Working for the state department dealing with Cuba would give me migraines too
