    Didn't the government just admit for the second or third time that havanna syndrome isn't real?

      Yes.

      Again.

      Also, moneyshot

      CIA Director Bill Burns said the "Havana Syndrome" investigation was "one of the largest and most intensive investigations in the agency’s history.”

      What a time to be alive.

      Also also

      In 2020, the National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine said it found that the most probable cause of the syndrome was “directed, pulsed-radio frequency energy.” A year later, administration officials told Congress they were increasingly worried about the reporting and that there was a chance a foreign adversary — potentially Russia — was using a weapon to target Americans. And a panel of experts put together by the intelligence community also found that an external energy source could have caused the symptoms and that a foreign power could have been involved.

      Fucking idiots

      The researchers said they had detected different levels of brain damage in an area that causes symptoms reported by the diplomats and which is susceptible to neurotoxins. They then concluded that cholinesterase, a key enzyme required for the proper functioning of the nervous system, was being blocked there. Some pesticides work by inhibiting cholinesterase, the report said, and during the 2016-2018 period when diplomats became ill normal fumigation in Cuba was stepped up due to the Zika epidemic in the Caribbean. The report said the diplomats’ illnesses coincided with increased fumigation in and around residences where they lived. One of the authors of the study, Professor Alon Friedman, clarified in an email to Reuters that both Canadian and Cuban authorities were fumigating.

    This is just like MKULTA: invent a sci-fi technology to cover up a your own bad behavior, and use it as an excuse to create a torture program.

      Exactly. Instead of Koreans inventing brainwashing it’s Cubans inventing the direct energy weapons

          During the Korean War a bunch of US airmen got shot down and captured and then confessed to war crimes including using biological weapons on the Koreans.

          There was also lots of Korean propaganda targeted at black US soldiers correctly pointing out the entire war was a fight for Korean national sovereignty and that they’re being used as pawns of capital and their real fight for freedom was at home which resulted in defections to the North Korean side.

          The US made up the story of communist mind control to discredit the POWs confessions, explain how a US soldier could defect, and justify MK ultra experiments

    It wasn't real but they tried to blame other countries for it. Now they gotta make it real so they can claim other countries stole the tech from us and are using it against us.

    The military budget makes you think it goes directly into manufacturing and weapons research. In reality a lot of it goes into stupid shit like this.

    Do these experiments involve giving too many mojitos to these poor test animals? It is one of the main early symptoms of Havana syndrome
