Dating back to 2016, President Donald Trump reduced U.S. diplomatic personnel in Havana, Cuba, after former President Barack Obama practically stood on his head to restore diplomatic relations with the Cuban government. Obama announced to great fanfare July 1, 2015 that he was reopening the U.S. embassy in Havana, supplying diplomatic personnel in an effort to fulfill his promise to normalize ties with Cuba. After reopening in the embassy in 2016, it was welcomed with U.S. and Canadian diplomatic personnel falling ill with a mysterious illness causing, among other things, headaches, memory lapses, disorientation, vertigo, hearing loss, hearing grating noises and nausea. After U.S. diplomatic personnel was examined at Bethesda, DC-based Walter Reed Medical Center, Trump ordered the embassy closed pending a more thorough review.
After exhaustive investigations by the FBI, CIA and National Security Agency [NSA], a National Academy of Sciences Engineering and Medicine investigation determined in 2017 that U.S. and Canadian diplomatic personnel experience symptoms consisted with pulsed microwave radiation, a new weapon allegedly developed by Russia’s GRU foreign intelligence agency. Using high-powered Radio Frequency [RF] pulsed energy can cause Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy [CTE], a permanent brain injury seen in professional contact sports like American football. An article published in the Journal of the American Medical Assn. in Dec. 2020 indicated that the diplomatic personnel examined suffer from symptoms of traumatic brain injury likely caused by pulsed RF or microwave energy, directed at U.S. embassies or consulates housing U.S diplomatic personnel.
Reducing U.S. diplomatic personnel in Havana to a skeleton crew, the State Department believes the environment is no longer safe for embassy or consulate employees. Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson questioned the Cuban government about the toxic exposure, prompting denials by Cuban authorities CIA Director William Burns has been briefed and commissioned an investigation into possible GRU or Russian intelligence, certainly technologically savvy enough to develop microwave weapons. Burns and other CIA analysts doubt the Cuban government was sophisticated enoughs to develop microwave or RF weapons. Since 2016, the State Department has complained about similar attacks at U.S. diplomatic missions in several countries. Pulsed microwave radiation seems the likely culprit in the attacks reported at U.S. missions, consulates and embassies around the world.
Dealing with Russia hasn’t been a smooth transition for the Biden administration, facing a computer hacking scandal by alleged Russian actors, inserting malicious code into SolarWinds network management program, causing a major breach of security to the Pentagon and several other key government agencies, including Heath and Human Services. Biden watched Russia’s leading dissident 44-year-old Alexi Navalny get poisoned by Soviet-era nerve agent Novichok Aug. 24, 2020, nearly die, airlifted to Berlin for emergency medical treatment. Navalny was arrested on returning to Moscow and now is jailed in Russian penal colony suffering from a host of life-threatening medical problems. Biden and his Secretary of State Tony Blinker demanded Feb. 1 that he release Navalny from prison. Putin has been hit with sanctions by the U.S. and European Union [EU] for global interference.
When it comes to the U.S. and certainly the West in general, there’s no love lost with Putin and the Western Alliance. Putin was forced to stand down in Ukraine, removing some 50,000 Russian troops near the eastern Ukraine border. Feeling under siege by the U.S. and EU, Putin’s on a war-footing, capable of lashing out with cryptic military interventions like pulsed microwave attacks. U.S. embassies, consulates and missions around the world are on high alert from pulsed microwave attacks. Pulsed microwave attacks have been reported in Miami, with twi National Security Council employees reporting symptoms walking around he White House and another in Virginia. All victims reported symptoms consistent with the “Havana Syndrome,” including headaches, memory lapses, nausea, etc. Havana diplomatic personnel developed Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy.
Chronic Traumatic Ecephalopathy [CTE] is no joke when it comes to diplomatic personnel trying to return to some kind of normalcy. Fresh reports of “Havana Syndrome” have been reported in China and Russia, suggesting that some foul play has taken place. Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines said she had “no definitive information about the cause of these incidents,” and has not concluded anything. While there’s nothing “definitive” yet, CTE is real and cannot be dismissed as coincidental. Watching U.S. diplomatic personnel from around the globe develop headaches, memory lapses, nausea and hearing loss is no coincidence. Saying there’s nothing “definitive” doesn’t mean there isn’t compelling evidence of CTE in U.S. diplomatic personnel around the globe. CIA, FBI and NSA officials must work around the clock to figure out what’s happening.
