Introduction

I created this page to document that directed energy weapon attacks on people are very real. Weapons have been developed that are invisible, silent and often go through-wall. This page is mostly about the physical damage caused by these weapons. There is another category of weapons based on electromagnetic waves also used today that is even more terrifying and can attack our brain, or more specicificaly, our thoughts. I will create a separate document for this. If you want to read more about this:

• Human Brain Project
• Dr. James Giordano: The Brain is the Battlefield of the Future (video)
  Please listen at least the beginning of this video.
  And if you understand and dare to hear more truth skip to minute 37.
• Dr. James Giordano: Battlescape Brain: Military and Intelligence Use of Neurocognitive Science (video)
  This is a 2020 follow up.

During the Cold War, the USA discovered that its embassy in Moscow was microwaved. This triggered a weapons race in deniable invisible weapons based on electromagnetic waves. The year was 1975. These weapons can attack the body and the brain. Some keywords: Directed Energy Weapons (DEW), Neuro weapons, Microwave weapons, Microwave hearing, Sonic weapons, Psychotronic weapons, Non-lethal weapons, Brain zapping.

It appeared that the human body and brain are extremely vulnerable to electromagnetic energy. For example, the human body can be heated and cooked with a microwave weapon. The heart can be stopped and you can be forced to vomit, urinate or defecate. The human brain (neurons) can be influenced by forcing voices (also known as microwave hearing), thoughts and emotions. Many ways have been discovered to attack a human being with these weapons.

After incidental reports, the USA sounded the alarm in 2016 when their diplomats and security personnel got attacked in China, Cuba and Australia. They called this the Havana Syndrome. The Havana Syndrome suggests an illness, but after some time experts could only conclude that these were symptoms of attacks with electromagnetic weapons. A number of Canadian diplomats who were also attacked in Cuba sued their government for $28 Million, and, in contrast to their USA victims released much more details about these attacks. In this document I summarize these events and new events.

Weapons based on invisible (electromagnetic) radiowaves are the perfect weapons for individual control and group control. Attacks can easily be denied, and attacks can mimic known physical and mental symptoms. And once you have them, why not use them for personal gain?

These weapons are being developed and tested and used on real people. But governments keep silent. This is one of the best kept secrets in the world.

The government agencies using these weapons are trapped by their own crimes. They have always done research on people, done horrible things to people, but no one knew because there was no internet. They just got away with it. With the internet, for the first time in history, survivors could put their stories online for everyone to read.

Havana Syndrome is not a disease but a name for symptoms of attacks with Directed Energy Weapons. These weapons are not new but have been around for many decades.

IMPORTANT: Watch the 8 May 2024 Homeland Security hearing "Silent Weapons: Examining Foreign Anomalous Health Incidents Targeting Americans in the Homeland" with three expert witnesses.

With the Havana Syndrome reaching the general public there is an opportunity for the US government to offically acknowledge that these Electromagnetic weapons exist AND are being used for over 2-3 decades. This would create a legal mess at least. But it also paves the way for a worldwide ban on EM weapons similar to the ban on Nuclear weapons.

Many civilians have been and still are tortured, or are subjected to testing, with Directed Energy Weapons. This is called 'mind control experimentation', see also MK-ULTRA. The survivors put their stories on the internet and call themselves Targeted Individuals. Many people suffer and many people die. This has been going on for decades and goes on today. These crimes are among the worst in history and are a disgrace to humanity.

What we know so far

In this section I summarize what we know based on the information in recent main stream media articles mentioned on this page.

List of events

List of events - History

• Microwave weapons are with us since the 1960's.
• In 1961, the American neuroscientist Allan H. Frey was the first to publish information on the nature of the microwave auditory effect, also known as the microwave hearing effect or the Frey effect. The effect consists of the human perception of audible clicks, or even speech, induced by pulsed or modulated radio frequencies. Researchers reported that they were able to recognize nine out of ten words transmitted by "voice modulated microwaves".
• Between the 1950s and 1970s, the U.S. Embassy in Moscow was beamed with microwaves, prompting health concerns and the United State’s then-classified exploration of such weaponry.

• Mark S. Zaid, a lawyer representing some of the Havana Syndrome victims, has a CIA briefing slide appearing to date from the 1960s or 1970s which shows a building being hit by microwaves from a nextdoor structure. Zaid said the slide was among the personal effects left by a deceased agency officer.

  

• In 1977, during the MKULTRA hearings, Dr. Geschickter testified there was a CIA project involving microwaves (p.90) : 'The other, which was funded through this later business was the use of radar to put monkeys to sleep , to see if they could be, should I say, instead of Mickey Finn, they could put them under with radar directed toward the· monkey brain.' Senator Schweiker: 'Could they?' Dr. Geschickter: 'Did they go to sleep?' Senator Schweiker. 'Yes.' Dr. Geschickter: 'Yes, sir. But, Senator, it showed if you got into too deep a sleep, you injured the heat center of the brain the way you cook meat, and there was a borderline there that made it dangerous.'

• In 1983, June, from MICROWAVE NEWS: "Last month, newspapers across the country ran an AP story on the Soviet "Lida" machine being tested at the VA Hospital in Loma Linda, CA. The Lida uses low frequency radiation to tranquilize experimental subjects. Dr. Ross Adey is quoted as saying, "It looks as though instead of taking Valium when you want to relax yourself, it would be possible to achieve a similar result, probably in a safer way" with radio waves". More information here.

• In 1985, CNN published a Special Report, hosted by Chuck DeCaro, on Electromagnetic Mind Control Weapons. Dr. Robert Becker and Dr. Ross Adey show how electromagnetic fields and radio frequencies were tested as weapons of war against both machine and humans. Watch on YouTube:

• In 1990, in International Review Of the Red Cross, the article The development of new anti-personnel weapons, section Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) by Louise Doswald-Beck and Gerald C. Cauderay, mentions: In spite of the rarity of publications on this subject, and the fact that it is usually strictly classified information ... very small amounts of elec­tromagnetic radiation could appreciably alter the functions of living cells. ... Unprotected soldiers within this zone could be put hors de combat or killed within a few seconds. Some research seems to have confirmed that low-level electromagnetic fields, modulated to be similar to normal brainwaves, could seriously affect brain function. Experiments with pulsed magnetic fields carried out in animals have reportedly produced specific effects such as inducing sleep and triggering anxiety or aggressiveness. Research work in this field has been carried out in almost all industrialized countries, and especially by the great powers, with a view to using these phenomena for anti-materiel or anti-personnel purposes.

• In 1997, U.S News and World Report published an article, by Douglas Pasternak, 'Wonder Weapons' that reveals that the U.S. had research projects

  • to incapacitate people without inflicting lethal injuries,
  • to affect human behavior,
  • to blind enemy soldiers,
  • to stun them, nauseate them,
  • or even “liquefy their bowels and reduce them to quivering diarrheic messes,”
  • to incapacitate the central nervous system remotely,
  • to make internal organs resonate (the effects can run from discomfort to damage or death),
  • to induce epilepticlike seizures,
  • to heat the body to bring on discomfort, fevers, or even death,
  • to alter sleep patterns,

  using lasers, acoustics and microwaves.

• In 1999, the European Union adopted a resolution ‘on the environment, security and foreign policy’ that also called for international conventions on regulating and banning these weapons and their development (A4-0005/1999).

  • 26. Calls on the European Union to seek to have the new 'non-lethal' weapons technology and the development of new arms strategies also covered and regulated by international conventions;
  • 27. Considers HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project) by virtue of its farreaching impact on the environment to be a global concern and calls for its legal, ecological and ethical implications to be examined by an international independent body before any further research and testing; regrets the repeated refusal of the United States Administration to send anyone in person to give evidence to the public hearing or any subsequent meeting held by its competent committee into the environmental and public risks connected with the high Frequency Active Auroral Research Project (HAARP) programme currently being funded in Alaska;
  • 30. Calls in particular for an international convention for a global ban on all research and development, whether military or civilian, which seeks to apply knowledge of the chemical, electrical, sound vibration or other functioning of the human brain to the development of weapons which might enable any form of manipulation of human beings, including a ban on any actual or possible deployment of such systems;

• In 2000, June, from the document CROWD CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES (An appraisal of technologies for political control), Working document for the STOA Panel, published by European Parliament , Directorate General for Research. Some fragments:

  • A dubious Pandoras Box of new crowd control/crowd punishment weapons has emerged, designed to be media-friendly and appear, rather than be, safe. If these weapons, when deliberately targeted at innocent civilians, can actually maim and kill we are not talking about humane, bloodless operations other than war.
  • With the new NATO non-lethal doctrine, some of these technologies have moved from tactical to potentially strategic roles in any new programme of military intervention.

  • The most controversial non-lethal crowd control and anti-materiel technology proposed by the US are so called Radio Frequency or Directed Energy Weapons that can allegedly manipulate human behaviour in a variety of unusual ways. Some microwave systems have been proposed which can raise body temperature to between 105 to 107 degrees F, to provide a disabling effect in a manner based on the microwave cooker principle. However, the greatest concern is with systems which can directly interact with the human nervous system. There are many reports on so called psychotronic weapons which are beyond the brief of this study but one comment can be made.

    The research undertaken to-date both in the US and in Russia can be divided into two related areas:

    • (i) individual mind control and
    • (ii) crowd control.

    That the US has undertaken a variety of mind control programmes in the past such as MkULTRA and MkDELTA is a matter of public record and those using electromagnetic radiation such as PANDORA have been the focus of researchers in para-politics for many years.

  • The military utility of these weapons is that they provide a tunable or rheostat ability a "need" that is emerging as part of the new US military intervention doctrine of so called 'layered defence'. This means in practice an "onion style" of risk where anyone coming into contact with the outer shell may be sickened, paralysed. Entering subsequent levels may lead to being physically harmed, disabled or permanently maimed whilst the core of the zone is protected by lethal technology, contact with which is fatal.
  • The document contains an image: Fig 13. US Military doctrine to target civilians and "insurgents" together.

• In 2003, January, the film 'Control Factor' was released. The main character Lance was hearing voices that told him to murder his wife Karen. Later in the film his wife appeared appeared to be an agent, her real name in the film was Medusa. The film shows a (secret) government agency experimenting on civilians with the aim to control everyone. Control Factor.

• In 2003, the document BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION (RADIOWAVES AND MICROWAVES - EURASIAN COMMUNIST COUNTRIES, DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY, dated March 1976, was obtained through a FIOA request. This document was shown in 2021 in a report by CNN about the Havana Syndrome.

• In 2004, there was a page on the website of the US Navy (deleted now) that discloses a project with the codename Medusa, a prototype of a microwave weapon made for the Marine Corps in 2004 which had a 'temporarily incapacitating effect' and was small enough to fit in a car: Remote Personnel Incapacitation System

This document, dated 17 February 1998, describes in detail the effects on the human body when applying laser light, radio frequency directed energy, and bio sound effects:

  Radio frequency directed energy to create:

  • microwave heating,
  • microwave hearing,
  • disruption of neural control including a sudden loss of consciousness and intense muscle spasms,

  Acoustic energy to create:

  • severe pressure sensations,
  • involuntary motion of the eyes,
  • nausea and seeing his surroundings turning around him.

  Laser light to create:

  • dazzling or induced glare,
  • flashblinding or loss of night adaptation,
  • permanent or semipermanent blinding.

  

• In 2006, NATO published the report The Human Effects of Non-Lethal Technologies.

• In 2007, Wired Magazine published a number of articles by Sharon Weinberger, about weapons that can shoot an invisible wall-penetrating beam (zapping through walls) that makes people so dizzy they fall over, that can make you puke (vomit beam) , fart, or lose control of your bodily functions .

  

  

  

• In 2008, the U.S. military demonstrated the Active Denial System (ADS), also called the heat ray or ray gun, a Directed Energy Weapon, that works by heating the skin of targeted human beings using millimeter waves (95 GHz). An overdose can result in second-degree burns. The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) finished testing the system on human volunteers already in 2001.

  

• In 2008, 25 February, Proinsias De Rossa (PSE) asked the following Parliamentary question - E-1287/2008, to the Commission: "In January 1999, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on the environment, security and foreign policy (A4-0005/99)[1] which called, in paragraph 27, for an ‘international convention introducing a global ban on all developments and deployments of weapons which might enable any form of manipulation of human beings’.
  Could the Commission outline what action has been taken by the EU on this issue since this call was made?" Weapons for manipulating human beings The answer was: "The Commission is unaware of any proposal to start negotiations on an international agreement covering the activities in question." Answer given by Mrs Ferrero-Waldner on behalf of the Commission

• In 2010, a smaller version of the Active Denial System' (Pain Ray), called the 'Assault Intervention Device', firing millimeter waves, was introduced as a solution to stop fights between inmates in prisons. Video. After criticism from human rights organizations, including the ACLU, it was decided to withdraw this.

• In 2011, during the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, many US citizens testified that they were attacked and tortured with Directed Energy Weapons. The response from executive director Valerie Bonham, J.D. (2010-2011): "We would like to clarify for your information that the Commission is not investigating or reviewing any concerns or complaints concerning claims about targeted individuals. This includes claims concerning: MK-ULTRA; COINTELPRO; electromagnetic torture or attacks; organized stalking; remove influencing; microwave harassment; covert harassment and surveillance; human tracking; psychotronic or psychotropic weapons and radio frequency or military weapons or other claims. ... As advisors to the President, we will ensure that all of your concerns, information and testimony are provided to the White House."

• In 2013, January, in the document Directed Energy: Medical Effects of Radio Frequency Exposure (Microwave & Millimeter Wave) – A Literature Review from the Air Force Research Laboratory: "... The major difference between RF-induced injuries and ordinary burns is the location of the damage. A unique characteristic of RF energy is its ability to penetrate deeper into the body and heat internal structures, such as muscles and organs, without elevating skin temperature."

• In 2013, 24 July, Chinese researchers found that rats exposed to pulsed microwaves had difficulty in learning to negotiate a water maze for up to three days after exposure. The researchers believed this was due to damage to the hippocampus, a part of the brain associated with memory.

• In 2014, January, an article in Radioelectronics Nanosystems Information Tech, Electromagnetic systems and means of deliberate impact on physical and biological objects, contained the section: TOOLS OF INTENTIONAL ELECTROMAGNETIC IMPACT ON A HUMAN.

  

• In 2014, the NSA more or less confirms that agents already were attacked with microwave weapons in the 1990's:
  'The National Security Agency confirms that there is intelligence information from 2012 associating the hostile country to which Mr. Beck traveled in the late 1990s with a high-powered microwave system weapon that may have the ability to weaken, intimidate, or kill an enemy over time and without leaving evidence.
  The 2012 intelligence information indicated that this weapon is designed to bathe a target’s living quarters in microWaves, causing numerous physical effects, including a damaged nervous system. The National Security Agency has no evidence that such a weapon, if it existed and if it was associated with the hostile country in the late 1990s, was or was not used against Mr. Beck.'
  

  Mark Zaid on 11 April 2023: 'This document was very carefully crafted by my colleagues inside the legal office in NSA because they were giving it to me for use in potential proceedings to try and get medical attention for Michael Beck.'

  

• In 2015, Major General Jerry Harris, vice commander of Air Combat Command, said the Air Force had developed a high-power microwave weapon that could disperse crowds without killing people by rapidly raising body temperature, and the system could be put to use immediately on drones or other aircraft.

• In 2015, scientists in Tokyo carried out tests on rats, using intense pulsed power to cause microwave-induced traumatic brain injury. When they examined the damage to brain tissue afterwards, they concluded that “microwave-induced neurotrauma shows the same pathological changes as blast traumatic brain injury.” In other words, it is possible to produce concussion inside the skull with microwave pulses, exactly as seen in Havana Syndrome.

• In 2016, December, the US government passed the Directed Energy Weapon Systems Acquisition Act of 2016. From this document: ”the term ‘directed energy weapon system’ means military action involving the use of directed energy to incapacitate, damage, or destroy enemy equipment, facilities, or personnel.”
• Start of Havana Hyndrome incidents

• In 2016, December, Patient Zero, a CIA officer operating under diplomatic cover, visited the Embassy health office telling he had experienced strange sensations of sound and pressure while in his home, followed by painful headaches and dizziness.

• In 2016, U.S. government employees working at the U.S. Embassy in Havana, Cuba, suddenly started suffering from dizziness, fatigue, headaches, loss of hearing, memory and balance.

• The main stream media increasingly report that the weapons used are Directed Energy Weapons.
• U.S. diplomats and security personnel were also attacked in many other places including China, Paris and Vienna, Berlin, Australia, London, India, Moscow, Bogota. A number were also attacked in the United States itself, even on the grounds of the White House in Washington.

• In 2021, 21 January, '... And so effectively there is no way to protect either soldiers or diplomats from this type of weapons unless they are completely encased in metal'. Professor Dr. Edl Schamiloglu of the University of New Mexico: Right. The following patent ( filed 2005 ) was mentioned: ELECTROMAGNETIC PERSONNEL INTERDICTION CONTROL METHOD AND SYSTEM. This patent describes a device that operates through walls 'and provides an individual soldier or law enforcement officer with the ability to reduce an opponent to helplessness from a remote location while doing no permanent damage'.

  • At 22m30s: "The stories we heard about and read about, both directly and indirectly, would suggest that the target size might be as large as a room. In almost every case, there were people in adjacent rooms that didn't have the experience.."
  • At 22m40s: "In one or two cases, there were actually others in the room, that either did or did not have that same experience."
  • At 41m05s: All I'll tell you is my email inbox would strongly suggest that there are plenty of people who are very concerned, perhaps even suffering from something that to them looks like this."

• In 2022, 14 January, Glenn Carle, career CIA officer and former deputy national intelligence officer: " ... no one knows, and I don't think any possibility should be or actually is being dismissed, but I would very seriously doubt that 200 colleagues in disparate countries at different times would suffer from a collective delusion. ... So I am not dismissive of the potential of delusion, but I really don't believe that is likely in this instance ..."

• In 2022, 21 January, Mark S. Zaid, a Washington DC based attorny who represents several of those affected: 'It started long before Havana,' Zaid said. 'It was just those incidents that brought it to light.'

• In 2022, 2 February, the US intelligence community released a report that concludes that the Havana Syndrome symptoms probably are caused by ultrasound and pulsed microwave energy. The report also mentions that microwaves propagate through building materials and that psychosocial factors - which include work demands, stress and depression - cannot alone account for the core symptoms.

  

• In 2022, 12 February, in the video 'Dr Giordano's Presentation At UTSW's Havana Syndrome Webinar On 021022 (FULL)' (original video was removed), at 18:11 Dr. James Giordano talks about human experimentation:
  " ... Why would such devices be in operation. Well this too I think is a little above my pay grade and out of my sandbox but this flight is to understand that these types of devices can be used for surveillance and or they can be used either kinetically or non-kinetically for disruptive effects. What do we mean by that. What we mean is there are a number of nations worldwide that have dedicated effort to employing these devices for testing organic and inorganic substances primarily in the occupational and commercial range. If we take a look at these nations include the United States and many of its allies, China, Russia among others. So the technology exists, we know the technology is being employed at least in part for the evaluation of vulnerability and volatility for organic and inorganic substances."

• In 2022, 20 February, 60 Minutes published a report that the ones operating these weapons not only attack adults but their children as well.

  

• In 2022, March, John Bolton, National Security Advisor to President Donald Trump from April 2018 to September 2019: It was an attack I don't think there's any other hypothesis when you begin to look at the number and the pattern that we've experienced.

  

• In 2022, March, James Benford, a physicist and leading authority on microwaves, says the most plausible explanation is that it is a high power microwave weapon. . 'There are many kinds and they can go anywhere in size from a suitcase all the way up to a large fracture trailer unit. Microwaves go through glass, they go through brick, they go through practically everything. The technology has been studied for more than fifty years. It has been developed widely in perhaps a dozen countries. Primary countries are the United States, Russia and China.'

• In 2022, April, in IEEE Microwave Magazine, James C. Lin: The required microwave technology is mature and, in general, commercially available in many developed countries or military powers. Longer distances and higher-power scenarios would require more bulky equipment and sophisticated aiming devices, but packable equipment is possible for closer-range nonlethal applications.
• In 2022, June, the State Department is preparing to compensate victims of the Havana Syndrome, according to a Rule by the State Department called the Implementation of HAVANA Act of 2021.
• In 2022, August, the C.I.A. begins compensating victims of the Havana Syndrome.
• In 2022, August, Mark S. Zaid reveals that FBI personnel have been reporting symptoms of the mysterious syndrome that first afflicted overseas diplomats and spies... inside the US. Members of the FBI say they've been injured in DC and Florida, especially in the bureau's Miami field office.. 'There have been double digits of members of the FBI who have been injured on multiple locations inside the United States.'
• In 2022, 16 September, Mark S. Zaid says he knows what it is: 'This is gross evidence of a coverup by the US government. I have had access to classified information. And there is a lot of information that has not been publically revealed. And if you knew what it is, you would be very upset. I know that for a fact. Can't say what it is unfortunately. So it really sucks. I'm saying something I can't back it up.'
  Listen to the audio fragment (mp3).
• In 2022, 20 November, an article 'CIA experiments or electromagnetic attacks from Russia?' appeared on MSN.com, that summarizes the Havana Syndrome. This article also mentions there are thousands of U.S. citizens who call themselves “targeted individuals” who’ve reported similar experiences, but they’ve been derided as paranoid and delusional. .
• In 2023, 20 February, Nicky Woolf asks James Giordano the following question: 'Is there a type of microwave weapon out there that can cause this specfic symptom profile that the victims in Havana experienced? That means something capable of not just causing the headaches, nausea, hearing and vision impairments, cognitive problems, even brain damage and all that - but also do it in this precisely targeted way?' James Giordano: 'Yes'.

• In 2023, 1 March, the US Intelligence Community released the report 'Updated Assessment of Anomalous Health Incidents', and IC Targeting and Collection Efforts Point Away From Adversary Involvement in Anomalous Health Incidents. The main finding is that, with high probability, the Havana Syndrome is not caused by a foreign adversary. And that there there is no credible evidence that a foreign adversary has a weapon that can cause these effects. (Pay attention to the wording).
  The report does not specify which agencies took part.

  Also from this report: 'Two agencies judge that deliberate causal mechanisms are unlikely to have caused AHIs and have low confidence because they judge that radiofrequency (RF) energy is a plausible cause for AHIs, based in part on the findings of the IC Expert Panel and the results of research by some US laboratories. All agencies acknowledge the value of additional research on potential adversary capabilities in the RF field, in part because there continues to be a scientific debate on whether this could result in a weapon that could produce the symptoms seen in some of the reported AHI cases.'

  Avril Haines, Director of National Intelligence: “Needless to say, these findings do not call into question the very real experiences and symptoms that our colleagues and their family members have reported”.

  Karine Jean-Pierre, White House Press Secretary: "The work is ongoing".

  

• Responses to the 1 March 2023 US Intelligence Community report:

  • On 1 March 2023, Mark S. Zaid, who's firm represents more than two dozen federal AHI victims from within the Intelligence, Military, Law Enforcement and Diplomatic communities who experienced incidents domestically and overseas....: ...

  • On 13 March 2023, a top scientist who dealt directly with victims of Havana Syndrome – and their patients – remain convinced that the mysterious condition was caused by directed energy weapons: guns firing intense ultrasound, radio or microwaves: 'There's no environmental cause that causes the body damage that I saw. ... And I don't know how you create damage inside of a body, like what was seen, that comes on all of a sudden, and could be called 'pre-existing conditions'.
• In 2023, 7 March, Politico reported that the Havana Syndrome has affected more than 1,000 US government employees over the past several years.

• In 2023, 29 March, the law firm of Mark S. Zaid obtained through FOIA litigation a declassified copy of the Intelligence Community's Expert Panel Report on Anomalous Health Incidents. The report suggests the "Havana Syndrome" could result from an energy weapon. From the report: 'Electromagnetic energy, especially pulsed signals in the radio frequency range, plausibly explains the main features, although there are gaps in information. There are several plausible paths associated with forms of electromagnetic energy, each with its own requirements, limitations and unknowns. For all pathways, there are sources that can generate the required stimuli, are latent, and require moderate power.'
  Mark S. Zaid: No way this can be reconciled w/recent IC Assessment conclusions. AHIs are real & caused by human actors.

To what extent were they telling anyone it was happening, a la what Kissinger was referencing? And what were the long-term health effects of it happening? And the responses that came out, the answers were, oh, it's been going on for 15, 20 years. We knew it in the Executive Branch. We weren't telling our people that it was happening who were based there in Moscow. And we have no idea of the long-term health impact because not enough time has gone by in 1977 or '9, whenever the -- the hearing was, because it had only been a few years that some of these people had been impacted. And why is it that that's not being studied? Why is it there's no report on that?

There is, in my view, without a doubt, evidence of a cover up . Now, some of that cover up is not necessarily that, oh, we found a weapon and we don't want anybody to know about it. What I've seen more so is we see lines of inquiry that would take us potentially to answers we don't want to have to deal with , so we're not going to explore any of those avenues.

For young kids who “don’t have enough life experience to understand some of the elements involved in complex, difficult topics like AHI,” The implication here is that not only are AHIs real, but U.S. diplomats are all too aware of how they happen and who’s behind them.
  From the same document: Mark Zaid: “I have spent more than a decade fighting for U.S. government employees and their families – sometimes small children and even pets – who have been victimized by AHIs overseas and domestically.

• In 2024, 2 May, on Matt Ford's 'The Good Trouble Show' with Mark Zaid, Matt Ford mentioned that the Wikipedia Havana Syndrome page is under control of, read: hijacked by, an organized 'activist' group of about 200 Wikipedia editors, that wants to inform everyone with what THEY think is right. This group appears to control many pages on Wikipedia. This group also apparently prevented Dr. David A. Relman of Stanford University, who led the Havana Syndrome National Academy of Sciences studies, from posting his research on the Wikipedia page. Robert E. Bartholomew is part of this group, he is a 'Fellow of CSI' .

  One of the reasons for mainstream media referring to Robert E. Bartholomew is that his 'Mass Psychogenic Illness theory' is mentioned on the Wikipedia Havana Syndrome page as an alternative, or even better explanation for what happened to the diplomats. That would be not a problem if we could trust the information on Wikipedia. But we cannot. At 50m20: Whistleblower Attorney Exposes Havana Syndrome Coverup.

• In 2024, 8 May 2024, from the written Testimonials of the witnesses:

  • Christo Grozev (witness):

    • p1. ... until in 2020 I was approached by an active member of US intelligence who encouraged me to independently investigate the “ever growing number of incidents”.
    • p2. Crucially, we have established that members of this clandestine unit who have traveled extensively around the world under false identities, have been in the proximity of, or within feasible reach of confirmed AHI incidents in at least 4 cases, including in Frankfurt in 2014, in China in 2016 and 2017, and in Tbilisi in 2021; with further overlaps of other GRU officers linked to the unit at the time of incidents in Belgrade and Hanoi

  • Mark Zaid (witness):

    • p6. Of course, no details were provided to explain what any of those alternative explanations might entail. Conveniently, the fact that approximately two dozen AHI cases could not be explained away was ignored.
    • p6. The documents were withheld as "intelligence products derived from signals intelligence and thus properly classified".
    • p7. To those who can read between the lines and understand the terminology, there is actually no reliable consensus among the Intelligence Community and the conclusion is even doubted by some agencies.
    • p7. Not surprisingly, the findings were unfortunately exploited by the Intelligence Community to support their public position that there is “nothing to see here”. But the absence of evidence is not evidence.
    • p7. At least two of the listed authors on the JAMA articles from NIH and DoD were fully aware that AHI victims had been diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries, which is inconsistent with their reported study results, particularly because they had signed off on the medical documentation.
    • p8. False claims have been made that the Intelligence Community knew of and had already ruled out the evidence presented by 60 Minutes. This is a blatant falsehood that has infuriated many serving members of the Intelligence Community because so much of the evidence to the contrary is literally available to them in reports, briefings and cable traffic. Of course, this evidence is classified. This Subcommittee, however, can question the Intelligence Community concerning these specific claims and demand answers.
    • p10. Investigating as part of the Committee’s primary jurisdiction why law enforcement and other domestic homeland agencies have not been permitted to pursue AHI leads concerning criminal attacks on American personnel and instead CIA analysts, who do not possess the same skill sets or authorities, have been allowed to control the investigations;

  Full transcript of this hearing (updated 10 May 2024)

  Fragments:

  • Mr. Correa [ at 46m08]: Is there any way to protect our officials from these weapons?
    • Christo Grozev (witness): This is exactly why I do not take into account the possible legitimate reason for hiding this, because from my personal point of view, making this public is the best protection.
  • Mr. Crane: [ At 46m52]: Many Americans, including other members that I've spoken to recently, don't exactly know what to think of these Anomalous Health Incidents. I spoke to one the other day, just yesterday, who said, I thought that was debunked, like Havana Syndrome, where our citizens are claiming very serious mental conditions following perceived attacks. And after hearing you, your testimonies, it sounds like all three of you believe that these are hostile actions orchestrated by our adversaries against American citizens. Is that correct?

    • Greg Edgreen (witness): Yes.

    • Mark Zaid (witness): Yes.

    • Christo Grozev (witness): Yes.

  • Mr. Crane [ at 49m52]: Guys, if your assessments are correct, these are very covert weapons, aren't they? They don't leave behind bomb fragments, bullet holes, etc. They could absolutely be used by our adversaries and have very low levels of, very easy to deny that they were even there that they were used. Is that correct?

    • Greg Edgreen (witness): That's correct. There's no entry or exit wound. How they're designed is to make the target feel like they're crazy, like they're imagining things, especially on the low duration, the low intensity, long duration hits.

  • Mr. Crane [ at 51m32]: I think it was Mr. Grozev said, you spoke to a Russian agent who said that they believe that Americans are using these same weapons on them. Is that correct?

    • Christo Grozev (witness) That is correct, back in the 80s.

    Mr. Crane: Might that have something to do with part of the CIA's motto to cover up the existence of this tech and these weapons?

    • Christo Grozev (witness): That is a very logical possibility.
  • Mr. Goldman [ at 55m00]: Any of you aware of any reported incidents from individuals who are not members of the United States government? Domestically, I should say.
    • Greg Edgreen (witness): I am not, but I will throw a caveat in there. Generally, I only focused on former and current government employees that were attacked.
    • Mark Zaid (witness): There are many people who believe they are victims of AHIs. All you have to do is look at my Twitter feed whenever I post on the topic. I only represent federal government employees in their families, so I don't focus on the accuracy of those particular claims.
    • Christo Grozev (witness): Not on American soil, but in other parts of the world, there have been complaints that appeared to be credible from Russian activists or Russian opposition leaders living abroad.
  • Mr. Pfluger [ at 1h05m04]: When you look at, what is your, I guess, analysis of how many victims you can identify that have occurred here in the United States, ...
    • Greg Edgreen (witness): I can't get into specifics about the numbers, but after having talked with Mr. Zaid about this, I could say, comfortably ...
    Mr. Pfluger: Why can't you talk about the numbers, just so everybody ...
    • Greg Edgreen (witness): Because numbers and specific locations of attacks are classified, but I can tell you that roughly 20 to 30 percent of the cases that I saw were in the homeland.
  • Mr. Correa [ at 1h11m40]: Now we're shifting to something else which is essentially a cover-up. What you all are saying is there's a government cover-up of the fact that something is out there reflecting targeting us. Is this where we're going with this?
    • Greg Edgreen (witness): I won't get into classification of the problems. I will tell you that the government and the IC assessment is wrong. It's dead wrong. ... What I can tell you is that it's my firm belief we already have attribution.
    • Mark Zaid (witness): I will say that the public statements that the executive branch is making is inconsistent with the classified record, and then it would be Congress's job as an oversight authority to determine why that is whether it was a legitimate reason to mislead the public or because of some nefarious reason or all the above but the record on the inside in the classified theater is not consistent with the public statements.

    Mr. Correa: Any other thoughts? Chairman, I go ahead, Mr. Edgreen.

    • Greg Edgreen (witness): In terms of attribution, I think we over-empowered CIA analysts and when they kicked it up the food chain to ODNI for Nick assessment, when you look at it, the people they kicked it up to were other CIA analysts on loan. So this was a self-licking ice cream cone.
  • Mr. Crane [ at 1h18m41]: Have any of you three panelists ever seen one of these weapons?
    • Christo Grozev (witness): I have seen a 1991 version of the weapon, and it looks like a satellite dish with a unit this size attached to it. This, of course, over the years miniaturization has been possible. Obviously, there's a limitation to how miniature it raised it can be because of the antenna size, which is always related to the wave. But still, it is something that can be well contained in a trunk of a car or even a large backpack.

    Mr. Crane: Is this a type of weapon that could be cobbled together once foreign operatives are on our own soil or is this something that would have to be manufactured in a nation state?

    • Christo Grozev (witness): My experience shows that it can be cobbled together. It's something that can a rough crude version of this that will probably require longer exposure than the more advanced version that has been tested as we see from this document can be put together inexpensively. But again, I would abstain from commenting further, lest I encourage people to try it at home.

    Mr. Crane: That would make this weapon and this tactic even more dangerous, wouldn't it, Mr. Grozev?

    • Christo Grozev (witness): Correct.

  

• In 2024, 8 May, in the Washington Examiner: Intelligence community leaders must be called to testify in public.

TC: So you think ... based on evidence, that this is absolutely real? EP: Yes, I know it to be real.

• In 2024, 22 May, Jon Stone & Kenneth R. Foster published a new article in Scientific American "We Don’t Need to Choose between Brain Injury and ‘Mass Hysteria’ to Explain Havana Syndrome". From this article: "Whatever the cause or causes of AHIs may be, there is reason to be concerned about directed energy weapons being used in nonmilitary settings." ... "There is a dearth of studies involving possible health effects of high-peak-power microwave pulses, which are likely to be quite different from the comparatively well-studied pulsed microwaves at much lower peak power levels. Such studies are clearly needed, and they should be published in a way that is accessible to experts outside of government."

• In 2024, 12 June, for the Press Release House Intelligence Committee Advances FY25 Intelligence Authorization Act : " Taking Next Steps Related to Anomalous Health Incidents (AHIs) . While the Committee’s investigation into AHIs continues, the bill authorizes the establishment of an independent commission on the national security and defense risks associated with AHIs."

  In 2024, 14 June, Bill Gertz - The Washington Times: "The authorization language proposes that a new nine-member commission would be formed to comprehensively address the risks posed by the incidents and the U.S. government’s responses. The panel would also seek to determine the origin of the incidents, whether research indicates they were caused by “an external actor,” and the potential for “novel mechanisms” hostile states might use for such weapons against the United States.

• In 2024, 1 July, Marko Makamaa in Security Clearancejobs Blog, a story about a clearance revocation from a contracter who claimed about being attacked by a foreign agency and the Havana Syndrome since 2019: "The protection of the national security is the paramount consideration. AG ¶ 2(b) requires that “[a]ny doubt concerning personnel being considered for national security eligibility will be resolved in favor of the national security.” None of the mitigating conditions, individually or collectively, are sufficient to mitigate the psychological conditions security concerns." Note that this case was settled before the 8 May 2024 "Silent weapons" Homeland Security hearing. Case summary.

• In 2024, 8 July, Joshua Philipp in Crossroads: "These cases were written off by some as a type of moral panic, it's just people's imaginations right, but as the investigations continued, it became increasingly clear that US adversaries were in fact targeting American gevernment employees using next generation weapons. ... The house Homeland Security committee held a meeting on so-called Havana Syndrome, this was on May 8 this year, and claims emerged on this and they were pretty shocking."

• In 2024, 24 July, SpyTalk reported the death of Zoë Moulton, a CIA case officer afflicted by ‘Havana Syndrome. A Bright CIA Light, Snuffed Out Too Soon. "Another close friend from the intelligence world, Shawnee Delaney, suspected Moulton’s cancer might have been linked to an incident in Vienna that had the hallmarks of several previous “attacks” that had mushroomed in Havana in 2016. Moulton told Delaney she had just gone to bed in her Vienna apartment in 2023 when she felt a sudden, dramatic change in air pressure, “like when you're on a train and you go through a tunnel or under water.…” Delaney said. “She said it was like that instantaneously, with this intense pain in her brain.” Moulton pressed her hands to her head, like in Edvard Munch’s The Scream, to demonstrate."

• In 2024, 29 July, GAO, the U.S. Government Accountability Office, published the results of a study: Havana Syndrome: Better Patient Communication and Monitoring of Key DOD Tasks Needed to Better Ensure Timely Treatment . Over 300 persons from government agencies who reported Anomalous Health Incidents (AHI's) qualified for care in the MHS, the Military Health System. Marc Polymeropoulos on X: "If it’s not real, per the DNI, why is DoD (per GAO) treating over 300 victims? And GAO recommending better care for victims at US military facilities?"

  In 2024, 31 July, Nora Gámez Torres in the Miami Herald: "Spies, active-duty military, FBI agents, diplomats and at least 15 children are among the 334 Americans who have qualified to get treatment for Havana Syndrome in specialized military health facilities — numbers that conflict with an earlier assessment by U.S. intelligence agencies minimizing the problem. From the article:: “We need to prove a brain injury. But doctors we are sent to are told not to write brain injury. And they’ll never accept anything else additional,” a Havana Syndrome patient who asked not to be named said. “This how they’re making it go away.”

  In 2024, 29 August, Nora Gámez Torres - Miami Herald, wrote: "The corroboration that participants were coerced to join the NIH study will likely add to the debate ... over how the U.S. government has handled its investigation and treated the victims." Also: "To be eligible for treatment in the military health system, a doctor must certify a brain injury or other significant symptoms that a known cause or a pre-existing condition cannot explain."

  In 2024, 30 August, Mark Zaid - @MarkSZaidEsq replying to the above information: I'll tell you exactly who coerced some of these AHI victims.

  Whistleblower AHI declassified document
  

  More from the article:

  • A CIA spokesperson refuted the information released by the government. “The notion that the CIA lied to US policymakers is absolutely false. CIA takes its responsibility to provide decision makers with impartial, fact-based intelligence and analysis with the utmost seriousness. The Intelligence Community Assessment on anomalous health incidents released by ODNI reflects years of rigorous, painstaking collection, investigative work, and analysis by IC agencies, including CIA. We applied the Agency’s very best operational, analytic, and technical tradecraft to what is one of the largest and most intensive investigations in the Agency’s history. The CIA remains committed to ensuring continued access to care for affected officers and to fully investigating any reports of health incidents," a CIA spokesperson told Salon.

  • "The facts are the facts," Zaid said in response. “History will not judge the CIA's role or those who helped cover-up the truth regarding AHIs in a positive light. Their actions and words betray the loyal employees and so many others who serve our country as dedicated public servants. I have attended classified meetings held by Congress and witness after witness undermines what the CIA claims. If it would declassify the evidence, then the public would know who was telling the truth. "

  The whistleblower, according to their attorney Mark Zaid, is still a C.I.A. employee and has been involved in the investigations into A.H.I.s. "They’re still inside," said Zaid, who represents many of the A.H.I. victims. ... "They’re not low level, but not senior. They are someone who has had access to this information throughout the federal government. This person is not a victim, but they have participated in many of the investigations on the inside."

• In 2024, 5 December, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence CIA Subcommittee Chairman Rick Crawford (AR-01) released an House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence CIA Subcommittee Chairman Rick Crawford (AR-01) released an interim declassified report Investigating the Intelligence Community’s Conclusions on Anomalous Health Incidents: Is the Intelligence Community Hiding the Real Reason for This Phenomenon? on the Committee’s investigation into Anomalous Health Incidents (AHIs), also commonly known as “Havana Syndrome,” and the increasing likelihood a foreign adversary is responsible for some of the reported AHI cases. This interim report also criticizes the Intelligence Community (IC) for thwarting the Committee’s investigation into AHIs.

  Below are key takeaways from the CIA Subcommittee’s interim report:

  1. It is increasingly likely a foreign adversary is responsible for some portion of reported AHIs.
  2. The Committee has direct evidence the Intelligence Community Assessment on AHIs was developed in a manner inconsistent with analytic integrity and thoroughness.
  3. The Intelligence Community tried to impede the CIA Subcommittee’s investigation at every turn.
  4. This interim report is just the beginning of the CIA Subcommittee’s work on the IC’s response to AHIs.
  5. Chairman Crawford is currently finalizing a substantial and highly classified report. It involves very sensitive information gathered over the past two years that was previously unknown to the Committee.
  6. The conclusions published by the DNI in the unclassified Intelligence Community Assessment on AHI are dubious at best, misleading at worst.
  7. Changes are needed to address the irregularities in investigative and analytic processes that resulted in the IC’s published conclusions on AHI.
  8. Additionally, the U.S. government must codify and establish clear, effective medical care, particularly long-term care, for AHI-affected personnel.

  

• Responses to the 5 December 2024 Crawford, CIA Subcommittee Release Interim Report on Havana Syndrome:

  • On 2024, 5 December, from the Press Release Himes Statement on Anomalous Health Incidents: “While bipartisan staff participated in the investigation, with respect to the interim report, the Majority lacked the conviction to allow it to be read by the Minority Staff or others with the same access to information as they had. “The sloppiness of this interim report does not mean that the critical issue of AHIs can be put to bed. Congress has appropriately mandated that the IC remain focused on collecting new information and analyzing it on a regular basis.
  • On 2024, 5 December, from the CBS News article, Scott Pelley et al., Foreign adversary was likely behind Havana Syndrome, House Intelligence leaders say : "Sadly, the [intelligence community] has actively attempted to impede our investigation, but we have nonetheless been able to gather significant evidence, and I have reason to believe that its claims of environmental or social factors explaining AHIs are false," said Rep. Rick Crawford, the chairman of the Subcommittee on the Central Intelligence Agency, who led the investigation.
  • On 2024, 5 December, from The Washington Times, Bill Gertz, article House intelligence panel sees foreign link to ‘Havana syndrome’ incidents : “It appears increasingly likely and [subcommittee Chairman Rick Crawford, Arkansas Republican] is convinced that a foreign adversary is behind some AHIs,” the report said. “The intelligence community has attempted to thwart the subcommittee’s investigative efforts to uncover the truth at every turn.”
    Nicole de Haay, a spokeswoman for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, said the intelligence community disagrees with the interim report’s findings and stands by the earlier assessment. “Most IC agencies assess that it is very unlikely a foreign adversary is responsible for the reported AHIs, and the assertion that we are withholding information that contradicts this analysis or would otherwise illuminate this complex subject is unfounded,” she said.
  • On 2024, 5 December, from the Miami Herald, Nora Gámez Torres, article Foreign adversary was likely behind Havana Syndrome, House Intelligence leaders say : Mark Zaid, a lawyer representing some the victims and whistle-blowers who testified for the House report, said the report was not political and echoed the allegations of a cover-up of “hard evidence” by the intelligence agencies.
    “Not all hope is lost. Despite the efforts of the Intelligence Community to cover this up, true patriots have kept fighting in the shadows to ensure the truth prevailed,” said a former U.S. government employee who was the first to report an incident in Havana in late 2016 who asked to be identified as Patient Zero. “While the Intelligence Community has dedicated their time to running a disinformation campaign in the press and infighting, our adversaries have only become bolder and more effective. We are weaker as a nation because of it, and these weapons have now proliferated. We need to act now before it’s too late,” Patient Zero said.
  • On 2024, 6 December, from the National Defense, Dr. James Giordano, article WEB EXCLUSIVE: House Report on Havana Syndrome Investigation Must Spark Action : But addressing AHIs is not solely a U.S. challenge or opportunity. The United States should collaborate with international allies to share information, coordinate responses and prompt discourse and dialectic with global peer competitors to build consensus on appropriate measures to establish norms to restrict, if not prevent, the weaponized use of directed energies.
  • On 2024, 6 December, Mark Zaid : I rep many of the witnesses, both #AHI victims & #whistleblowers, who appeared before #HPSCI & led to this result. This is NOT political. DEMS & GOP are equally invested in protecting our people & both share responsibility. @CIA / @ODNIgov are covering up hard evidence.
  • On 2024, 6 December, Marc Polymeropoulos , former senior CIA operations officer injured in Moscow in 2017: “They failed to properly investigate the attacks, then cooked the books analytically, while also launching a campaign to belittle the victims as well, denying them medical care. In totality, this ultimately is a staggering betrayal of the CIA's own people.”
  • On 2024, 6 December, Christo Grozev : It's always been clear that (much of) the IC are stonewalling, prevaricating and attacking the integrity of both victims and reporters/investigators who found evidence of the existence of the attacks.
  • On 2024, 6 December, John Schindler published It’s Time for Church Committee 2.0 : In other words: AHIs are real, some of the attacks, at home and abroad, are being perpetrated by multiple hostile intelligence services, and IC leadership at the highest level has engaged in a multi-year conspiracy of silence to prevent the terrible reality of these attacks from being known to the public – or even Congress. ... We need a Church Committee 2.0 to expose and rectify the misdeeds of the U.S. Intelligence Community.

• In 2024, 7 December, Rep. Rick Crawford in the Washington Examiner We have been misled on Havana Syndrome: While this report does not claim all anomalous health incident reports are explained, or even represent the same thing,

  • it does document clear evidence of foreign adversaries being responsible for some anomalous health incidents;
  • improper actions being taken that stifled investigative activities;
  • information the intelligence community knew, but never previously provided to the committee;
  • and the directed employment of highly irregular analytic processes to finished intelligence products, undermining the integrity of the intelligence provided to the Congress, the president, and the intelligence community workforce.

She said he 'went from happy, rational, healthy man to a miserable, impulsive, reckless, promiscuous, addicted man.' And in November 2023, he took his own life. The woman said: 'His work is providing benefits to his kids to 'make up' for his death, but they never helped him.'

  She claims her husband enrolled in a study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2019, which evaluated 81 intelligence workers who claimed to suffer from Havana syndrome. Though the team could not rule out a temporary injury, they found 'a lack of evidence for an MRI-detectable difference between individuals with AHIs and controls.' Despite a lack of evidence, the research team admitted that 'these individuals have real symptoms and are going through a very tough time. 'They can be quite profound, disabling and difficult to treat.' The woman told this website: '[The NIH] stated he had a pre-existing condition. It is a flat-out lie. He had a brain trauma that appears out of nowhere.' She now is left with a plea: 'What happened to him?'

However, this component continues to assess it is unlikely a foreign actor has deployed such a weapon in any events reported as possible AHIs.

    1/ In response to today's Intelligence Community Assessment on #AnomalousHealthIncidents & behalf of more than two dozen federal AHI clients I represent, I issued the following statement.
    Sadly, @ODNIgov & @CIA continue to cover up truth. But other agencies & WH are pushing back.
    STATEMENT BY MARK S. ZAID, ESQ. ON UPDATED ASSESMENT OF ANOMALOUS HEALTH INCIDENTS
    The release today by the Intelligence Community of an “Updated Assessment of Anomalous Health Incidents” disgracefully continues to hide the truth behind a cloak of secrecy. While the sought after headline is that it is “very unlikely” a foreign adversary is responsible for AHI attacks, that conclusion has to be placed into context as it no doubt creates confusion to the general public as to what it means.
    There should be no mistake on how to actually evaluate the ICA findings. The document reveals agencies within the Intelligence Community are in disagreement with one another. And even the most strident of believers that no foreign adversary was involved allows for a 20% chance they are wrong.
    More importantly, in the two years since the last ICA was issued, a report described as lacking “analytic integrity” the evidence has only moved closer to the Intelligence Community acknowledging the involvement of a foreign adversary, not away. A lengthy, still ongoing, investigation, which reviewed much of the same classified information, by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence recently concluded it “appears increasingly likely and the Chairman is convinced that a foreign adversary is behind some AHIs.”
    Additionally, multiple sources have stated that CIA Director Bill Burns, a Russia expert, privately told Agency victims he thought Russia was responsible. More recently, senior NSC officials recently shared information with victims, including some of my clients, that they described as having “vindicated” their views. The only view that could apply to is that a foreign adversary was responsible for at least some AHIs.
    If AHIs could be explained away by other factors, then what explains the sudden development by so many AHI victims of traumatic brain injuries. And why is the US government paying victims compensation for work related injuries that seemingly, according to the ICA, do not exist?
    AHIs have never been about politics, and evidence of the use of directed energy, particularly by Russia, of some form spans decades. The CIA has sought to cover-up its knowledge through both Democrat and Republican Administrations, and classified information exists that we have knowledge of that fundamentally contradicts today’s report. We had hoped the Biden Administration would override the CIA’s malfeasance and ensure transparency, but that has not happened. This is a perfect opportunity for the Trump Administration to ensure the CIA can no longer lie to the public and instead require full disclosure of what the government knows. The victims who serve our country deserve no less.
    We have already filed a FOIA request to seek declassification of the full ICA and plan to file a lawsuit next month to compel its release."

  "I'm honored by President Trump bestowing upon me a Red Badge of Courage, but if he and his partisan minions think this will deter me from holding them accountable to the rule of law, they are sadly mistaken. I have represented US government officials, including at the most senior levels, through every political administration since President Clinton, and have prided myself as being a non-partisan registered independent. By existing law, I am entitled to lawful due process, to include being informed why after 25 years of access to classified information I am suddenly untrustworthy, and I fully expect to be afforded the opportunity. This highly politicized action reflects far worse upon the Trump Administration than it does me."

• In 2025, 11 February, Tom Rogan in the Washington Examiner: Trump runs defense for deep state with Mark Zaid clearance revocation. The Biden administration facilitated the intelligence community’s cover-up of Russia’s responsibility for causing many Havana Syndrome incidents. ... Zaid observed, “This action truly hurts my AHI clients. I was regularly bringing AHI whistleblowers to [the Congressional intelligence oversight committees] for classified interviews and giving them protection because of my clearance. That was to show the Biden administration was covering up the truth."

Why? Lenzi: 'To cover up that the US government knew that this was directed energy causing these certain injuries ... In other Baltic states there have been [directed energy] incidents that the US public does not know about .. before 2016.' ... The government is always trying to minimize any potential directed energy attack.'

• In 2025, 26 June, Michael Weiss disclosed more evidence that the U.S. government lied to the American public about Havana Syndrome / AHIs on the The Bulwark podcast (at 2m08s) The Bulwark podcast: Michael Weiss and Jonathan Cohn: Animal House at the Pentagon : "As the Biden administration was turning off the lights in the White House, they had a meeting at the NSC at which invited five, very well-known within the community, the intelligence community, victims of AHI, including Marc Polymeropoulos, a guy called, who's in the media as Adam or known as Patient Zero. He was one of the first victims hit in Havana, Cuba.
  And the NSC meeting, they were brought into the Situation Room and told: You were right. You were right, meaning you were hit by a directed energy device. This is not some sociogenic or psychosomatic phenomenon. There is evidence that has now come through to the IC, including new collection, which substantiates the fact that possibly a foreign state actor, no points for guessing which one, is responsible for doing this to American servicemen and women abroad.
  And more to the point, some of the members of the National Security Council at that meeting drafted an op-ed for the Washington Post, which was cleared and ready to go. The title of it was, We Believe Them, them referring to the victims. And at the last minute, Jake Sullivan spiked that op-ed from being published.
  ... You should get Marc (Polymeropoulos) on the show ... he has been advocating on this issue for a long time and don't take my word for it, he tweeted this actually last night."

  Here is the Marc Polymeropoulos @Mpolymer 26 June 2025 tweet Michael Weiss is referring to:
  To the team @60Minutes - u matter. U honored the victims with this story. The truth. This episode was the beginning of the end of the USG gaslighting of the victims. Because at end of Biden admin I was invited to the White House SitRoom, and told by sr NSC staff- "u were right."

• In 2025, 17 August, from the Global News article Lawyer ‘very confident’ a foreign adversary attacked Canadian diplomats in Cuba : Paul Miller, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, told The Canadian Press he is “very confident” a foreign actor is to blame for the Canadians’ health difficulties. “I really trust the people that I have spoken with and met with,” he said. “I have absolutely no faith in the (Global Affairs Canada) report because they are trying to put out the narrative that works for them.” The plaintiffs’ court action, filed in 2019, remains unresolved.

What we also know

• The Havana Act is discriminatory: It excludes domestic cases, ignores a lot of symptoms, focusses only on visible brain damage, and excludes civilians.

  You do not need to have visible brain damage, or other permanent damage, when you are attacked with pulsed radiofrequency (RF) energy. That is the 'beauty' of Directed Energy Weapons, most attacks leave no visible evidence and can easily be denied.
  Interviews with affected U.S. government employees, show that there are also a lot of domestic cases. Also FBI agents (Miami area) reported they are being targeted.
  And civilians have been reporting attacks with Directed Energy Weapons for over three decades. Some are attacked 24/7.

  IMPORTANT: In 2024, 19 April, the HAVANA ACT was amended. Symptoms other than brain injury are now accepted as well. "The definition of “other incident” is a new onset of physical manifestations that cannot otherwise be readily explained and that is designated under 22 U.S.C. 2680b." .

• The Havana Syndrome is NOT caused by an unknown weapon.

  1. Experts, including the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and the US intelligence community Experts Panel concluded that the (most likely) cause is 'pulsed Radio Frequency energy,' in other words a Directed Energy Weapon.
  2. The device can be portable, and even fit in a suitcase (James Benford).
  3. The device can have moderate power requirements (Experts panel).
  4. Experts, including the US intelligence community, and James Benford, acknowledge that microwaves propagate through building materials. Patent No. US 7.841,989 B2 ( filed 2005), Non-lethal Electromagnetic Stand-off Weapon, describes a device that operates through walls and provides an individual soldier or law enforcement officer with the ability to reduce an opponent to helplessness from a remote location while doing no permanent damage.
  5. Many people know what it is but cannot say it because this is classified information. Listen to Mark S. Zaid, lawyer, representing several Havana Syndrome diplomats: 'I have had access to classified information. And there is a lot of information that has not been publically revealed. And if you knew what it is, you would be very upset. I know that for a fact. Can't say what it is unfortunately. So it really sucks. I'm saying something I can't back it up.' Audio fragment (mp3) (from the Yahoo Conspiracyland podcast ).
  6. Mark S. Zaid: And the responses that came out, the answers were, oh, it's been going on for 15, 20 years. We knew it in the Executive Branch. We weren't telling our people that it was happening who were based there in Moscow.
  7. Question by Nicky Woolf to Dr. James Giordano: 'Is there a type of microwave weapon out there that can cause this specfic symptom profile that the victims in Havana experienced? That means something capable of not just causing the headaches, nausea, hearing and vision impairments, cognitive problems, even brain damage and all that - but also do it in this precisely targeted way?' Answer: 'Yes'.
  8. Very short pulsed, delivery of this microwave energy, is used for example by militaries for RADAR (David A. Relman).
  9. Nicky Woolf: ... the problem is that these type weapons we discovered do exist ... we know Lockheed Martin makes one, we know Raytheon makes one, we know there's a Chinese equivalent, we know there's a Russian equivalent, we know Australia has bought the Lockheed Martin one ...
  10. Very short pulsed, delivery of this microwave energy, is used for example by militaries for RADAR (David A. Relman).
  11. Jim Hanson President of WorldStrat, on Fox News Jesse Watters, at 3m30: "These weapons exist, there is no question about that, we have them ...".
  12. (Through-wall) RADAR uses (pulsed) low duty-cycle, (very) high power microwaves.

• The Havana Syndrome is about DIRECTED microwave energy.

  • In 2021, 17 November, The Science & Entertainment Exchange published a video 'The Mysteries of Havana Syndrome' with Dr. David Relman, who led the 2020 Havana Syndrome study of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.

    • At 20m55s: "You would have to postulate* that energy was being directed at that site in a focused manner. And it was being deliberately turned on and turned off , basically."
    • At 22m30s: "The stories we heard about and read about, both directly and indirectly, would suggest that the target size might be as large as a room. In almost every case, there were people in adjacent rooms that didn't have the experience deliberately turned on and turned off."
    • At 22m40s: "In one or two cases, there were actually others in the room, that either did or did not have that same experience."
    • At 41m05s: All I'll tell you is my email inbox would strongly suggest that there are plenty of people who are very concerned, perhaps even suffering from something that to them looks like this."

    * postulate (verb) 1. suggest or assume the existence, fact, or truth of (something) as a basis for reasoning, discussion, or belief.

  • Tina Onufer was attacked in March 2017, while serving as a foreign service officer in Cuba: There is nothing in the world that is worse than being a victim that everybody doubts.
  • Former CIA officer Marc Polymeropoulos, who was attacked in Moscow 2017, wished he had been shot with a gun, because then there was a wound, and nobody would dispute that.

• And there is no protection, not even in your own home.

  • '... And so effectively there is no way to protect either soldiers or diplomats from this type of weapons unless they are completely encased in metal?'. Professor Dr. Edl Schamiloglu of the University of New Mexico: 'Right'.

  • Experts, including the US intelligence community, and James Benford, acknowledge that microwaves propagate through building materials.

  • Patent No. US 7.841,989 B2 (filed 2005) describes such a weapon.

• Also children (and pets) are attacked.

  • CBS News did a separate report on the children of Havana Syndrome. Not only diplomats and CIA officers are attacked, their innocent children are also abused and tortured with these weapons. Many Targeted Individuals with children witness this themselves. Their children are attacked to give the parent(s) (maximum) pain. The parent(s) cannot protect their children, and the police cannot help. Unimaginable cruelty.

• The US military is developing a wearable 'RF weapon' exposure sensor.

  • In 2019, 17 September, QinetiQ published a page on their website that the US military is developing a wearable 'RF weapon' exposure sensor , or here. The mentioned requirements: “an extremely small footprint in terms of space, weight and power (SWaP), very low cost, very low false positive rate, and easy to interpret."

  • See also: Wearable Radio Frequency Weapon Exposure Detector , or here, or here, or here.

    "Directed energy weapons, including radio frequency (RF) weapons, are a growing threat on the battlefield. Determinants of RF weapon antipersonnel effects are multifactorial and RF injuries will be situation dependent and very hard to predict. "

    • "Without known patterns of RF injury to guide diagnosis, it will be difficult to differentiate RF injury from other common sources of illness and injury such as heat stroke."
    • "This ambiguous symptomology is aggravated by the transient nature of RF energy. Without a sensor it is possible that no residual evidence of RF attack will be available. "

    So, here the US military says (their words, not mine) that when you are attacked with such weapons, it is at the moment (more or less) impossible to prove.
    With this information, and all other information from the Havana Syndrome, GP's, psychiatrists, MUST STOP trying to label people mentally ill when they say they are attacked with these weapons, even if they act 'crazy' because of what happened to them, or what is being done to them.

  • Phase II of the development of a Wearable Radio Frequency Weapon Exposure Detector was awarded, or here, or here, or here, to EngeniusMicro, also here with projects: ENGENIUSMICRO LLC.

• The U.S. military confirms 1. the existence of these weapons, 2. people can be attacked with these weapons.

  On the official website of the Defense Health Agency (DHA), a component of the Military Health System, they call it a counterintelligence incident : Anomalous Health Incidents (a.k.a. Havana Syndrome) or here. Are you reading along, police, general practitioners and psychiatrists? It's not a mental problem! More than 1,000 U.S. diplomats and security personnel have reported these symptoms.

• These weapons appear also being capable of inducing voices and thoughts.

  • CNN: "... It's not just a very disturbing high pitched noise, but there might even be voices, or a message, a continual message, that people have been victimized by you know this sound ..."

  • In 2024, 5 April, in I-News. FBI agent: “The same tech that was used in Cuba was used against me and my wife,” he told i. “It was bizarre.” The agent described lying in bed while experiencing an external force on his skull and intrusive thoughts, which his wife corroborated ..."

  • In 2024, 29 September, in the Secrets and Spies Podcast. Dr. Eric Haseltine: There have been other efforts, and again I must pick my words carefully, remember this microwave hearing effect I was telling you about? You can actually modulate that with a human voice. So you could point a microwave at someone, and in the middle of their head they would hear this weird voice saying 'God comments you to put down your arms'. " This sort of thing has been done, it has also been done with lasers, with pulsed lasers. Everything I said about microwaves is also true of lasers. Which is just another form of electromagnetic energy.

• The Havana Syndrome is only part of the crimes, atrocities, that are committed against civilians with Directed Energy Weapons.

  Mind rape, (gruesome) torture, and non-consensual human experimentation like MK-ULTRA. For many civilians, the attacks are not a few times, but 24/7 for decades. The attacks start and never stop. A number of them claim that their children also are attacked. These crimes are among the worst in history and are a disgrace to humanity. Victims ask the police and their government for help. But so far they are not getting any help and the media is covering up their stories, or saying that these people are suffering from delusions or are mentally ill.

• These crimes can no longer be denied.

  Unfortunately for the attackers, these crimes can no longer be denied, because Havana Syndrome gives us:

  " The possibility of also utilizing some form of microwave energy particulary low to moderate gigawatt microwave energy, that could be generated using very very rapid pulsing, perhaps utilizing a light source a laser source, to be able to develop nanosecond or perhaps even quicker pulsing, would allow the scalability the fieldability and the containability of microwaves and also get by some of the power source requirements that might be necessary.
  Why would such devices be in operation? Well this too I think is a little above my pay grade and out of my sandbox but this flight is to understand that these types of devices can be used for surveillance and or they can be used either kinetically or non-kinetically for disruptive effects. What do we mean by that. What we mean is there are a number of nations worldwide that have dedicated effort to employing these devices for testing organic and inorganic substances primarily in the occupational and commercial range. If we take a look at these nations include the United States and many of its allies, China, Russia among others. So the technology exists, we know the technology is being employed at least in part for the evaluation of vulnerability and volatility for organic and inorganic substances."

  Explanation of '... used kinetically or non-kinetically for disruptive effects':

  • Kinetic disruption

    Cause effects like: Inability to walk, hearing loss, nose bleed.
    using High Power Microwave, by 'shooting': leg, ear, brain.

  • Non-kinetic disruption

    Cause effects like: hearing loss, nose bleed, inability to walk
    using High Power Microwave, by 'shooting': ear, brain, leg.

    Cause effects like: nausea, vertigo, brain fog

  Compare with army language:

  • Kinetic weapons

    Destroy Vehicle, tire of vehicle, communication equipment.

  • Non-kinetic weapons

    Remotely electronically stop vehicles, jam communication.

• We need a treaty or convention that regulates the use of these Directed Energy Weapons, like we have for nuclear weapons, chemical and biological weapons.

  • In 1999, January, the European Parliament adopted a resolution ‘on the environment, security and foreign policy’ (A4-0005/1999) that also called for international conventions on regulating and banning these weapons and their development, with the paragraphs mentioned below.

    No action was taken by the EU since then, see also: Weapons for manipulating human beings

    European Parliament, 1999:
    • "26. Calls on the European Union to seek to have the new 'non-lethal' weapons technology and the development of new arms strategies also covered and regulated by international conventions."
    • "27. Considers HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project) by virtue of its farreaching impact on the environment to be a global concern and calls for its legal, ecological and ethical implications to be examined by an international independent body before any further research and testing; regrets the repeated refusal of the United States Administration to send anyone in person to give evidence to the public hearing or any subsequent meeting held by its competent committee into the environmental and public risks connected with the high Frequency Active Auroral Research Project (HAARP) programme currently being funded in Alaska."
    • "30. Calls in particular for an international convention for a global ban on all research and development, whether military or civilian, which seeks to apply knowledge of the chemical, electrical, sound vibration or other functioning of the human brain to the development of weapons which might enable any form of manipulation of human beings, including a ban on any actual or possible deployment of such systems."

  • In 2024, 22 April, Mark Zaid on the Secrets & Spies podcast (at 36m10) :

    Mark Zaid, 22 April 2024:
    "We can't defend our people, what are we going to do ... Where I think this needs to go ultimately is we need to go to the United Nations and get a treaty about the use of [RF, microwave] energy against human beings the same way we have for nuclear weapons, chemical and biological weapons. ... The technology is there and I am sure all of our countries have it, both offensive and defensive, this is going to be cheaper technology, more sophisticated and undetectable unless it's on, it doesn't leave a trace."

  • On 2024, 8 May, Christo Grozev (witness) during the Homeland Security hearing "Silent Weapons: Examining Foreign Anomalous Health Incidents Targeting Americans in the Homeland" , answering the Mr. Correa question 'Is there any way to protect our officials from these weapons?':

    Christo Grozev, 8 May 2024:
    "This is exactly why I do not take into account the possible legitimate reason for hiding this, because from my personal point of view, making this public is the best protection."

  • On 2024, 6 December, from the National Defense, Dr. James Giordano, article WEB EXCLUSIVE: House Report on Havana Syndrome Investigation Must Spark Action :

    Dr. James Giordano, 6 December 2024:
    "But addressing AHIs is not solely a U.S. challenge or opportunity. The United States should collaborate with international allies to share information, coordinate responses and prompt discourse and dialectic with global peer competitors to build consensus on appropriate measures to establish norms to restrict, if not prevent, the weaponized use of directed energies."

• 1 March 2023 is Havana Syndrome Cover-up Day.

  The 1 March 2023 US Intelligence Community's Expert Panel Report 'Updated Assessment of Anomalous Health Incidents' and all the disinformation created around it, is a very important moment in history. Here the US government is trying to convince people that such weapons do not exist. What they say is: Nothing to see here, go back to sleep. It may take a year, it may take five or ten years, but then there will be irrefutable evidence that these weapons do exist and have been used for decades. And the people will understand that they have been lied to (again) on 1 March 2023. (The 29 March 2023 declassified copy of the Intelligence Community's Expert Panel Report appears to say the exact opposite of what the US government told everybody on 1 March 2023.)

• The reason for the cover-up.

  After 1 March 2023 suddenly all the mainstream media went silent ... There is only reason for the silence: The Havana Syndrome has become a national security item. If the US would say that the Russians or Chinese have such weapons, then they would have to admit that they also have such weapons, which would spark a discussion about since when and how these weapons are used. ... officials would not discuss if the US has a weapon that could have caused these incidents ....

  Another very important reason the US government does not want to acknowledge the existence of these weapons is that then the claims of thousands of citizens become believable. For more than 30 years they went to the police, wrote letters to politicians and their governments, human rights organizations, but nothing happened. Instead, standard procedure has been to ignore these persons, ridicule them, or label them mentally ill (schizephrenia, psychosis).

• Ignore the Mass Psychogenic Illness theory.

  People like Robert E. Bartholomew blatantly ignore all (scientific) evidence. They appear to act as medical disinformation agents that try to prevent exposure of decades of lies and false diagnosis of innocent civilians.
  If a civilian complains that he is being attacked with Directed Energy Weapons, he is immediately labeled schizophrenic or psychotic. This is standard practice in Western democratic countries and has been going on for decades.

• Exposing Robert E. Bartholomew and the Guerrilla Skepticism on Wikipedia (GSoW) project.

  Why is Robert E. Bartholomew still interviewed in the mainstream media while the facts are, already a long time:

  • The crickets sound that was recorded by diplomats in Havana was from real crickets because there are crickets in Havana. In all other locations there were no crickets, but many people reported the same high pitched sound.
  • In the beginning, diplomats, security officers, spouses, and children reported the same symptoms, at different locations, independently, meaning without knowing there was something going on (nobody told them yet).
  • Children, also very young, under the age of twelve, and pets were having the same symptoms.
  • The people affected were healthy, trained, and intelligent. They certainly learned to rationalize events.

  One of the reasons for referring to Robert E. Bartholomew is that his 'Mass Psychogenic Illness theory' is mentioned on the Wikipedia Havana Syndrome page as an alternative, or even better explanation for what happened to the diplomats. That would be not a problem if we could trust the information on Wikipedia. But we cannot. It appears that the Wikipedia Havana Syndrome page is under control of, read: hijacked by, an organized 'activist' group of about 200 Wikipedia editors, that wants to inform everyone with what THEY think is right. This group appears to control many pages on Wikipedia.

  Robert E. Bartholomew is part of this group, he is a 'Fellow of CSI' , the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry . The Skeptical Inquirer is the magazine published by the Center for Inquiry. This is a nonprofit that has a Revenue of 5.57 million US Dollars and Total Assets of 7.92 million US Dollars, meaning this is not some small hobby organization, and it makes you wonder who is funding them (three-letter agencies?). This is all explained in this video.

  In Matt Ford's Good Trouble Show with Mark Zaid on 2 May 2024, Matt Ford also mentioned that the Wikipedia Havana Syndrome page is also under control of this group, and that they've also apparently prevented Dr. David A. Relman of Stanford University, who led the Havana Syndrome National Academy of Sciences studies, from posting his research on the Wikipedia page. At 50m20: Whistleblower Attorney Exposes Havana Syndrome Coverup.

  Here is a recent article from from Susan Gerbic, founder and leader of the Guerrilla Skepticism on Wikipedia (GSoW) project, about the Havana Syndrome. Havana Syndrome by the Numbers.

  CBS News, 21 February 2022

  • Olivia Troy was homeland security and counter-terrorism advisor to Vice President Mike Pence: 'It was like this piercing feeling on the side of my head ... it was on the right side of my head and I got like vertigo ... I felt unsteady, I was nauseous, I was somewhat disoriented'. The piercing feeling continued. This was followed by a paralyzing panic attack, which she never had. About a year it happenend again a couple of times. 'It was a similar sensation but this time is was very much the feeling of vertigo and dizziness and I felt couldn't really walk. ... that I was just gonna fall right into the ground.'
  • Another victim told Bolton he had disorientation and ringing in the ears and the inability to function. and that he couldn't speak or think clearly.
  • Miles Taylor was deputy chief of staff and later chief of staff of the Trump administration Department of Homeland Security: He was hit with the same symptoms described by Olivia Troye. Five weeks later it happend again. The next day he was feeling off balance, out of it, the sort of concussion like symptoms you have from getting knocked very hard.
  • Robyn Garfield, is a commerce department official: He, his wife and two children were repeatedly hit in China. His daughter was literally falling down multiple times a day. His family was hit again during their year of treatment in Philadelphia.

• US diplomats and security officers were not allowed to talk about their experiences. On October 2021 an exception was made for three / four diplomats who had been working in Havana. From the NBC News website:

  
  'Seized by some invisible hand': What it feels like to have Havana Syndrome
  NBC News, 13 October 2021

  'I felt like I was being struck with something,' she said. 'Pain that I have never felt before in my life ... mostly in my head and in my eyes.... It was as if I had been seized by some invisible hand and I couldn't move.'
  Onufer and two of her former colleagues in Havana, a married couple named Kate Husband and Doug Ferguson, spoke to NBC News about their experiences after getting permission from the State Department. They want the world to know that what happened to them in Havana caused real suffering and documentable injuries, and that those who insist this must be a case of mass psychosis are wrong.

• A senior official of the National Security Council (NSC), while walking to his car, between the White House and the Washington Monument, began to hear a ringing in his ears. His body went numb, and he had trouble controlling the movement of his legs and his fingers. Trying to speak to a passerby, he had difficulty forming words. “It came on very suddenly,” the official recalled later, while describing the experience to a colleague. “In a matter of about seven minutes, I went from feeling completely fine to thinking, Oh, something’s not right, to being very, very worried and actually thinking I was going to die .”

• Mark Lenzi, his wife and children, were attacked in 2017 while he was working as a State Department security officer in the US consulate in Guangzhou, China. Symptoms were headaches, lightheadedness, nausea, nosebleeds, sleeplessness, and memory loss.

• Karen Coates ( Karen Coats) — who served as a human resources officer at the Havana embassy — told "Conspiracyland" that she was walking down a hallway in Havana when she was bowled over by loud, piercing sounds that resembled cicada chirping. "It was like a teapot on steroids," Coates said. "It, literally, it was so incapacitating that I ducked down with my head, my hands over my ears. … All of a sudden I had this massive pressure in my face, where it felt like my face was literally gonna blow out." That night, Coates said, she became "very discombobulated" and "started having headaches. I couldn't walk." She was ultimately medevaced off the island and has spent years being evaluated and treated by government doctors — with no clear diagnosis — while suffering a significant cognitive decline. "I was a highly functioning individual," she said. "Now, like, I really have a hard time trying to talk and think."
