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.

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 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

• In 2006, Donald Friedman received, through a FOIA request, the document 'Bioeffects Of Selected Non-Lethal Weapons' from the Department of the Army. 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 2006, 12 September, Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne said: Nonlethal weapons such as high-power microwave devices should be used on American citizens in crowd-control situations before they are used on the battlefield.

• 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. Their children suddenly fainted and had massive nose bleeds. The Canadian embassy staff in Havana, Cuba, including their children, experienced the same symptoms. They were relocated to the U.S. and Canada and investigations were started.

• In 2017, a CIA doctor investigating the mysterious Havana syndrome says he got symptoms of the illness himself and is five years later, still struggling with debilitating symptoms.

• In 2020, Spring, from the document 'HIGH POWER MICROWAVE WEAPONS: DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY FOR THE FUTURE': " ... Pulsed-wave HPMs deliver a high power, short-duration pulses of microwave energy, and can provide precise targeting ...".

• In 2020, 1 June, Brooklyn Journal of International Law published an article of Joseph M. Nielsen: Electromagnetic Conflict: The Implications of New Methods of Warfare and the Need for International Action.

• In 2021, Dr. James Giordano said the culprit could be some form of ultrasonic or acoustic device; a rapidly-pulsed microwave; or a laser-based system.
  • Drugs alone: Unlikely
  • Ultrasonics: Very Possible/Probable
  • Electromagnetics: Wholly Possible/Highly Probable
  • Combinatory: Possible with (+) explanatory value

  

• 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'.

• 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 investigative efforts. 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....: ... The latest U.S. intelligence assessment lacks transparency and we continue to question the accuracy of the alleged findings.....
  • On 1 March 2023, NBC News: 'They (US Intelligence Community) really don't have good answers, except that they tell us what did not happen.'.
  • On 2 March 2023, Senator Marco Rubio: "As I have said before, something happened here and just because you don't have the answers, doesn't mean that it didn't happen. I will not accept that all these reported cases were just coincidences and I will continue to work on this issue until we receive real explanations..
  • On 2 March 2023, Dr. James Giordano: ... the report blatantly disregards the accumulated scientific and forensic analysis and evidence of possible, if not probable, cause, specifically specifically for those individuals who are working in Havana ....

Whereas what I’ve been told is that DOD is not on board with this. .
  • 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. Besides the American diplomats at the U.S. embassy in Havana, hundreds more U.S. government personnel have reported similar incidents since then in locations worldwide, including China and Europe. Many victims and experts still believe they result from a directed-energy weapon.

• 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?

  • On 18 March 2024, David A. Relman writes in a response that he is far from convinced that the NIH studies are the end of the story. He decries lack of detailed info on bioeffects of EM & acoustic energy on the brain despite >60 yrs of interest: "... The experience with AHIs provides valuable lessons for clinicians, the scientific and national security communities, and national and international policymakers. We ignore them at our own, collective peril." Neurological Illness and National SecurityLessons to Be Learned.
  • On 18 March 2024, Mark S. Zaid: "... The question must be asked: how can these facts be reconciled with these study conclusions that effectively say 'nothing there'? The USG must declassify what it knows about AHI to ensure accountibility and truthfulness." STATEMENT OF MARK S. ZAID. ESQ.

Bergreen did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Bergreen’s complaint, obtained by the Herald, includes allegations that NIH officials and researchers involved in the study maintained close contact with the CIA and were pressured to “ensure the studies ‘found’ what was asked of them.” The email says that doctors involved in the study made private remarks to patients that they were pressured or were afraid to report a traumatic brain injury diagnosis accurately, and that patients were told verbally of findings that were not later reported in writing in their medical records...."

A stain on the USG. .
  • On 19 March 2024, Nathaniel Dove - Global News: "... He (the lawyer for the Canadian diplomats) said the study took place too long after diplomatic staff and family members reported the onset of symptoms, that examining patients beyond Cuba did not give accurate findings on those who say they began experiencing symptoms in Havana and that the report did not have data on the affected people’s physical baselines before they began experiencing the symptoms..."

I can't reveal it. I wouldn't reveal it. I will tell you that I don't believe it to be the entire story, and I know of information that undermines or contradicts what they are saying publicly . 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.

• In 2024, 1 April, The Insider, 60 Minutes and Der Spiegel obtained a memo distributed to employees of the Tbilisi mission, that included several pages of guidance on how to talk to children about the strange events, offering distinct advice for different age groups. 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. It has been so distressing to see how much effort our government has undertaken to cover up the true details of these attacks , no doubt perpetrated by a foreign adversary.”

    Reacting to Robert Bartholomew:

    • Adam / Patient Zero: It comes from someone that's uninformed, that doesn't understand what we have been through.

    • Marc Polymeropoulos: The idea that it's all in the mind is ludicrous. I have a friend, a colleague, she was affected by this she was injured, she received treatment but so was her six-month-old baby how does a six-month-old, who was diagnosed by doctors with a traumatic brain injury, how does a six-month-old suffer from Mass hysteria, or some kind of psychogenic illness, so that mass hysteria charge really has no validity at all.

• In 2024, 26 April, the director of National Intelligence filed a request seeking a two-business-day extension of time — until April 30, 2024. This in response to a request to make public records that will likely shed light on some of mystery behind Havana Syndrome.

• 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.

    • Mark Zaid: Founding Partner, Mark S. Zaid, PC

  

• 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. While they will likely hide behind classifications in order to avoid offering uncomfortable answers, their inability to answer basic questions supported by now-public reporting will catalyze Congress to take further action.

And then we went down to the SCIF and we got a classified briefing from someone on that panel, and it was one the most, I'm a former Navy SEALS officer, I travelled around the world and haunted bad guys for a long time but I can tell you this, when I went down to that SCIF and that was one of the most terrifying briefs that I ever have been part of .

• In 2024, on 8, 9, 10 May, several news agencies reported on the 8 May 2024 Homeland Security hearing.

  This is a short evaluation of what exactly was, not, written in the mainstream media:

  1. Attacks on U.S. soil.
  2. Impact of attacks on diplomats and service personnel.
  3. Children and pets of diplomats and service personnel attacked.
  4. Probably both Russia and the US have these weapons (and are attacking each other since the 1980s).
  5. Details of weapons mention.
  6. Non-government employed citizens attack claims.

• In 2024, 22 May, Erik Prince on Tucker Carlson, at 1h02m09: EP: This Havana Syndrone is a real thing, It's effectively a microwave weapon that's been used to blast the brains of Americans working at embassies, first in Havana ... lot's of places, ... and the CIA director says: It's all in their minds. 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."

  On 28 May, IntelToday wonders why it took seven years for Dr. Kenneth R. Foster to alter his perspective: Havana Syndrome: The Slow but Complete U-Turn of a Scientist [Kenneth R. Foster — Scientific American].

• In 2024, 5 June, Simone Ledeen in RealClear Defense: "... Ignoring their symptoms exacerbates victims’ suffering and undermines the credibility of institutions responsible for their care. In an era where misinformation often overshadows truth, we must ensure that the Havana Syndrome is properly studied and understood in order to address this threat and support its victims."

• 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, 20 August, Tom Rogan, the Washington Examiner, reported that: The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Mark Green (R-TN), and Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX), the chairman of the Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement, and Intelligence, wrote to national security advisor Jake Sullivan on Tuesday (20 August 2024): "To assist the Committee with its ongoing oversight, and to better understand the administration’s efforts to address the pervasive threats posed by AHIs, we request that you arrange for the National Security Council to provide the Committee with a briefing".

• In 2024, 30 August, Jen Christensen - CNN: NIH cancels ‘Havana syndrome’ research, citing unethical coercion of participants Marc Polymeropoulos: “They wanted us to be a lab rat for a week before we actually got treatment at Walter Reed”.

  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. They are my clients. @CIA told them they had to participate or they wouldn't receive healthcare. #Unethical But @NIH also complicit in mishandling this study & I complained in writing prior to @JAMA_current article.

• In 2024, 3 September, John Schindler wrote: "Here, the leadership of the intelligence community has conspired with the White House and whoever is really running the Biden administration to deny and conceal that hostile intelligence services are attacking and crippling Americans, mostly [intelligence community] personnel, all over the world, including at home" "... how many more American spies must die before our government does something here." “Havana Syndrome” is the Greatest Scandal in the History of American Intelligence

• In 2024, 16 September, Brian Karem - Salon, wrote: "The CIA has consistently lied to the American public about anomalous health incidents (AHI) for the last several years and may be guilty of obstruction of justice, according to documents recently released by the U.S. government." “Active suppression of witnesses”: CIA lied about "Havana Syndrome," whistleblower documents reveal

  In 2024, 16 September, Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq - x.com: "I've read much of the classified info in the report. It's devastating & needs to be public."

  In 2024, 16 September, Marc Polymeropoulos - @Mpolymer - x.com: Devastating indeed. Particularly when a sr official states "we are all going to be sued." It's in the whistleblower complaint! There are receipts. What the IC didn't count on was a hell of a lawyer (see below), and victims who r hell bent on getting truth and accountability.

  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, 16 September, Mark Lenzi, a U.S. State Department security engineer who was among several diplomats evacuated in 2018 from the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou, China: " ... I said I needed to brief him in a suitable location to discuss classified material that State’s Diplomatic Security Service and the Intelligence Community were withholding from Congress and sometimes outright lying to him and Congress about. Since then, the State Department and the Intelligence Community have gone to incredible lengths to try to silence me, to prevent me from briefing McCaul and Congress on classified information about the pulsed microwave attacks that injured my family that Congress should have received more than six years ago." Congress: Please let me give you a classified briefing on Havana Syndrome

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 inujury 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.

• How does it feel when you are attacked and there is no wound.

  • 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.

  • Catherine Werner, while serving in China: Her dogs were throwing up blood.

• This has been going on for two, three decades.

  • Mark Zaid: 'It started long before Havana. It was just those incidents that brought it to light.'

  • Mark 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.

  • Retired Army Lt. Col. Greg Edgreen, who led the Pentagon investigation on the Havana Syndrome, at 3m01: " ... it existed over several administrations ... " .

• Victims, diplomats and security officers, receiving compensation from the US government.

  • Bloomberg Law, 29 March 2023: State Department Will Pay $460K to End Havana Syndrome Lawsuit

  • Mark Zaid, 28 March 2024: "... These diagnoses have enabled many victims to thankfully receive six-figure compensation payments from the U.S. Government for being an AHI victim. ..."

  • Nora Gámez Torres - Miami Herald, 29 March 2024: Despite clashes over reality of Havana Syndrome, CIA agents have been paid for injuries

• 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:

  • Statements from credible medical doctors/specialists:
    • Michael Hoffer
    • Beatrice Alexandra Golomb
    • David A. Relman
  • Statements from credible microwave experts:

    • Marc Polymeropolous
    • Miles Taylor
    • Olivia Troy
    • ...
  • Statements from credible people, politicians, who question the government narrative:
    • Marco Rubio

  During the investigation into the Havana Syndrome, US diplomats and security (CIA) officers were asked to send reports if they believed they were attacked these ways. Over 1000 reports were received. The investigators only looked for visible brain damage, and excluded everything else.

• Dr. James Giordano reveals Human Experimentation with Directed Energy Weapons (DEW).

  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:
  " 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."

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

  • In 1999, January, 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’.
    No action was taken by the EU since then, see: Weapons for manipulating human beings

  • In 2024, 22 April, Mark Zaid on the Secrets & Spies podcast (at 36m10): "We can't defend our people, what are we going to do ... Where I think this needs to go ultimately is we need 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."

• 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.

  • 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.'

  '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.

  Former CIA officer speaks out about "Havana Syndrome"
  CBS News, 14 June 2021

  'I woke up in the middle of the night and I had this incredible case of vertigo almost as if I was in some sort of carnaval ride ... this was the most terrifying experience of my life, I had no control. I have had a headache for three years.'

• 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."

Summary

There are people 'walking around' with EM-weapons (Electromagnetic weapons) attacking other people at least since the 1990s. Of course there is much more information on the internet about EM-weapons but I want to limit this to what has been published in the main stream media the last years.
Note: With 'walking around' I mean that you can be followed by DEW operatives with portable equipment, but you can also be attacked by equipment build into cars, 'surveillance' devices mounted in cities and shops, etc., and you can be attacked from the sky, like drones, aircraft, and perhaps even satellites.

Nobody can deny that there are people 'walking around' with these weapons and attacking other people, and that this has been going on for decades.

"Now look, 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."

From: The Story of the Clearance Holder, the KGB, and Havana Syndrome

"He complained of auditory hallucinations of footsteps, voices, and clicking/popping noises. He also had visual and olfactory hallucinations."
...
"While it cannot be completely eliminated that Applicant was the target of hostile acts by a foreign intelligence, and in that regard, I considered his father’s affidavit. However, it is far more likely that most of his beliefs were delusions. I agree with the psychologist who performed the DoD evaluation and concluded: <...>"
...
"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."

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

From: S8 Ep44: Havana Syndrome from a technological and medical perspective.

[53m56] There have been other efforts, again I 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 can point a microwave at someone, and in the middle of their head they would hear, this weird voice saying, God commands you to put down your arms.
This sort of thing has been doen, it also has been done with pulsed lasers, everything I said about microwaves, is also true for lasers, which is just another form of electromagnetic energy.

At 8m50: Questions to Adam / Patient Zero:
Question: Do you accept that it is hard for people to believe that they do exist when no one has actually seen one of these weapons?
Answer: There's no one in public that seen these weapons.
Question: Are you saying that the government knows that they exist, and knows what they look like and knows what's going on here?
Answer ... after some thinking: That's my belief.

At 19m30: Questions to Robert Bartholomew, medical sociologist at Oakland University:
There is no Tooth Theory, there is no Santa Claus, and there is no Havana Syndrome. It is a myth.
Question: Robert what is going on here?
Answer: Is a grand case of mass deception, human being have deceived themselves. ... This is one of the craziest stories I have ever encountered.

Reacting to Robert Bartholomew:
Adam: It comes from someone that's uninformed, that doesn't understand what we have been through.
Marc Polymeropoulos: The idea that it's all in the mind is ludicrous. I have a friend, a colleague, she was affected by this she was injured, she received treatment but so was her six-month-old baby how does a six-month-old, who was diagnosed by doctors with a traumatic brain injury, how does a six-month-old suffer from Mass hysteria, or some kind of psychogenic illness, so that mass hysteria charge really has no validity at all.

Question to Robert Bartholomew: How do you explain it affecting their families evben six-month-old babies.
Robert Bartholomew: Because people have Anomalous Health Incidents every day. Millions of people, and so when they say a baby was affected, well how do they know the symptoms were caused by some kind of ray gun. ... They went on a search for unicorns when they should have stuck to mundane explanations ...

Mark Zaid:

The biggest problem in all of this case, whether it's identifying who is doing it, identifying the weapon, identifying when it happens, where it happens, is so much of this story is in the classified arena.
That's why it is so easy for the US government to say: There is nothing to see here.
My government, the United States government is lying, absolutely lying, lying 100% to the American people in the world about what it knows.
I am not surprised by this misnomer that this is not a real thing. Too many people have difficulty to understanding things they can't see. But I am convinced that it is not mass hysteria, I find it insulting that anyone would suggest that this is mass hysteria.

Adam / Patient Zero:

FBI agent claims to have been targeted by sonic weaponry
An FBI agent in charge of investigations against Russian espionage in the US has said they believed they experienced Havana syndrome in their home last year.
The law enforcement official, who i is not naming to protect their identity, claimed he believes he and his wife were targeted by sonic weaponry after they experienced severe intense pain in their heads at exactly the same time.
“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.
The FBI agent reported the incident to bosses at the agency but the incident was not escalated, as far as he is aware, he told i.

From: Havana Syndrome mystery continues as a lead military investigator says bar for proof was set impossibly high (transcript)

One of them is Carrie. We're disguising her and not using her last name because she's still an FBI agent working in counterintelligence. She says, in 2021, she was home in Florida when she was hit by a crippling force.
Carrie: And bam, inside my right ear, it was like a dentist drilling on steroids. That feeling when it gets too close to your eardrum? It's like that, you know, times ten. It was like a high pitched, metallic drilling noise, and it knocked me forward at, like, a 45 degree angle this way.
She says she was by a window in her laundry room.
Carrie: My right ear was line-of-sight to that window while this thing was happening in my ear. And when I leaned forward it kind a—it didn't knock me over, but it knocked me forward. I immediately felt pressure, and pressure and pain started coursing from inside my right ear, down my jaw, down my neck and into my chest.
At the same time, FBI agent Carrie told us, the battery in her phone began to swell until it broke the case. Finally she passed out on a couch. Because of chest pain, she was checked by a cardiologist and then returned to duty.

...

Scott Pelley: What do you make of the intelligence community assessment?
Mark Zaid: So I've had access to classified information relating to AHI. I can't reveal it. I wouldn't reveal it. I will tell you that I don't believe it to be the entire story, and I know of information that undermines or contradicts what they are saying publicly.
Scott Pelley: Are you saying that the government wants to cover this up?
Mark Zaid: 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.

From: Unraveling Havana Syndrome: New evidence links the GRU's assassination Unit 29155 to mysterious attacks on U.S. officials and their families

The State Department has walked a knife-edge in addressing that contingency. The Insider, 60 Minutes and Der Spiegel obtained a memo distributed to employees of the Tbilisi mission on December 29, 2021 — over two months after Joy’s attack. It references a task force responsible for coordinating response to AHIs and several pages of guidance on how to talk to children about the strange events, offering distinct advice for different age groups. For young kids who “don’t have enough life experience to understand some of the elements involved in complex, difficult topics like AHI,” the memo advises parents to catch their biases and limit the amount of information their children can access: “Don’t say things like ‘the Russians are trying to hurt or intimidate us’ or ‘if you hear a loud noise, you are probably going to feel dizzy and sick so make sure you get off the X, etc.’”

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.

Still, it remains unclear why it took American officials so long to acknowledge the problem, and why they still show no sign of having a plan to solve it. “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,” says attorney Mark Zaid. “It has been so distressing to see how much effort our government has undertaken to cover up the true details of these attacks, no doubt perpetrated by a foreign adversary.”

New Declassified report suggests "Havana syndrome" could result from energy weapon - 29 March 2023

From the declassified 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.

From [1]:

The document was released pursuant to the following FOIA exemptions: “(…) — (b)(3), which applies to information exempt from disclosure by statute, and, in this case, specifically the National Security Act of 1947, as amended, statutes 50 U.S.C. § 3024(i) and 50 U.S.C. § 3024(m), which protect intelligence sources and methods and identifying information of ODNI personnel, respectively; (..)”. This means more important information may have been removed from this report and still remains classified.

Edl Schamiloglu, University of New Mexico, sides with James Benford.
Adam (Patient Zero): The latest ones I have heard about been DoD cases and those were towards the end of last year.

From [7] '“Havana Syndrome” – A Panel featuring Nicky Woolf, Marc Polymeropoulos, and Mark Zaid':

Mark Zaid: So that's where we're kind of looking at the technology, from the government standpoint, the legislative standpoint. How long has the Executive Branch known this was happening? 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?

From [11] 'EXCLUSIVA: Ex alto oficial de la CIA: Rusia y Cuba están detrás del Síndrome de La Habana':

Marc Polymeropoulos: And looking back just knowing the cases in Havana as well, what was interesting about Havana is, it was happening to different US officials there but they weren't telling each other about it. So there is no mass psychosis there as well. ...

[19:20] Here is what I think. Obviously there is technology, this directed energy technology, that can be used for signals intelligence collection, exactly what you are saying, collect info from your cell phone, maybe they are trying to listen into discussions in a room for examnple.

It is possible that is how this started but I think, is what the Cubans and the Russians eventually learned is, that it also could be used as a weapon. So perhaps it evolved. Perhaps in Havana for example, when they did this the first couple of times, they were trying to collect information, cell phone discussions, you know, verbal discussions, but then they see it injures some US officials and they say, Well wait a second, maybe we can use this as a weapon, and why was this a, and I hate to say this because it happened to me, why this is a brilliant weapon is, it is what we call 'not attributable', nobody can find out about it, it's hard to detect, and what is does is, it is not shooting someone with a pistol, it's a salting mem on a street, what it does is, they're removing American Intelligence officers from the battlefield, which is exactly what the Cuban intelligence service wanted, do you think they wanted American intelligence officers in Havana? Exactly what the Russians want

So it's taking them of the battlefield in a manner, which is hard to detect. It actually is a perfect weapon, if you think about it that way. And so that's my sense, it started off as a signals collection tool they saw what it was doing to people and then they weaponized it. And that is my theory and I have no evidence on this other then that it makes a lot of sense.

And then I throw in the last piece and that is the idea that this technology does not exist, is ridiculous. The US government by the way has this, the Russian government has this, if you look in the open-source world, there is Directed Energy Weapons that people use for riot control for example. And the Department of Defense, we've been testing this stuff and when you look at the open source on the internet, the Russians have been too, so this technology exists. This is not some kind super secret James Bond type ... The reason is why it has never been used on people is because it is unethical, it's immoral, look what's happening to us, so there is an ethical reason not to do it,

...

[24:10] If you look right behind me there is a picture on my wall. It was painted by one of the victims. It's a black canvas with a red splash of paint. And we call that the gunshot. And that is notion that we always wished we had been shot because then people would have believed us, you have a bullet wound. Now in some essence, in some sense, we do have that with some of the doctors and some of the doctors reports but I tell you a lot of more people would have believed us and we would have gotten medical treatment right away if there was a gunshot, if there was a wound. I could say look I am shot, I'm bleeding, I need care, no one would dispute that. And that's so we say that all the time and still to this day, feel that way because, you know when you have a brain injury, you know what does that mean, it means it's silent, nobody can see it, you know there is day I aam feeling ok today and I'm feeling much better. Some days you have a terrible headache, somedays you jave brainbfog, you forget things a bit.

...

From [15] 'The Sound, Chapter 8: Hammers and Nails':

Kenneth Jones (Ken Jones), worked for the FBI from 1989 to 2017. In 2009, Ken was posted to an embassy overseas. He won’t say where. Ken: Yeah, the, the language, business language is Russian. … yeah, I would just say it’s a former Soviet country … One day, when he gets to work …
In 2009, Ken was posted to an embassy overseas. He won’t say where. Ken: Yeah, the, the language, business language is Russian. … yeah, I would just say it’s a former Soviet country … One day, when he gets to work…
As we’ve seen, embassies have different agencies represented within them, operating under diplomatic cover. CIA. NSA. And others.
Ken: I really … didn’t think… at that time, in the end of 2011, to say, like, ‘Hey, are they still out there attacking that with radio frequencies? ’
Ken: … but I can tell you shortly after that, I started experiencing daily migraines…
Ken: It felt like… if, if someone was gonna stick a spike or a nail or something right through the side of my temple … That was the most intense pain or pressure I’ve ever felt… The symptoms worsen. He’s dizzy, fatigued and nauseous. Ringing in his ears. Doctors can’t figure out what’s going on.
Ken: And I started thinking, I’m losing my mind. I’m getting … I just started crying. I’m like, this is insane … For years he doesn’t link the symptoms to the radiofrequency attack. He’d been briefed on security threats before the posting, but they never mentioned anything like this. He’d never heard of RF exposure or its potential effects. It’s only years later, when he hears about Havana Syndrome on the news, that he makes the connection.
Ken is the first, and so far the only, FBI agent to tell his story on the record. But he tells us others have come forward internally. This radio wave attack – the one an intel agency told Ken was happening – was in 2011. Way before the Havana outbreak.

Kevin and Karen Coats – the sound came in a focused beam that they could step in and out of and the sound would start and stop.

Mitchell: … it was, uh, President Trump’s intention to roll back everything that Obama had achieved in bringing the two countries closer together.

Marc: There seems also to be a difference between what was briefed at the DNI and actually what’s in the content of the, the actual assessment. ... Whereas what I’ve been told is that DOD is not on board with this.

Nicky Woolf: ... There are thousands of claimed cases worldwide. It’s just common sense that the vast majority of them are unlikely to be attacks with weapons. Right? I mean, I really hope that’s true.

    House Intelligence Committee, 1 March 2023

New US intelligence community report finds Havana Syndrome not caused by foreign adversary - March 2023

From [5]:

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

Joe Khalil: "So, you know, we talked to some of our sources who basically laid out the the fact they're all weapons that exist that could do these kinds of things But again, the Intelligence agencies saying this was not from a foreign adversary. We heard from the CIA director Bill Burns who said he wants to make clear that whatever this is, we have to remember there are real victims who went through real symptoms.

From [7] NEWS ALERT: @MarkSZaidPC reps more than 2 doz federal #AHI victims & family members. Below is our statement in response to IC Assessment findings issued today:

"My 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. This also includes minor children of our dedicated workforce who are also victims of these AHIs. Our representation started a decade ago.

The latest U.S. intelligence assessment lacks transparency and we continue to question the accuracy of the alleged findings. From the origins of these incidents dating back five decades, AHIs occur in the intelligence shadows that shield them from the view of the public. Until the shrouds of secrecy are lifted and the analysis that led to today's assertions are available and subject to proper challenge, the alleged conclusions are substantively worthless. But the damage it has caused to the morale of the victims, particularly by deflecting from the government's failure to evaluate all the evidence, is real and must be condemned.

It is inconceivable based on an overwhelming number of unanswered questions that today's report will serve as the last word. These questions include the need to explain existing evidence of technical anomalies at the time of suspected incidents, reliable evidence of deliberate uninvestigated surveillance and counterintelligence incidents involving AHI intelligence victims and an examination of the high numbers of concerning cancer and other deaths of affected personnel, especially among those who served or worked in Moscow. Today’s intelligence assessment is also at odds with private investigations into known movement of foreign intelligence officers in locations where AHIs contemporaneously occurred.

To be clear, the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence Indeed, @NSAGov wrote in 2014 that it was aware of intelligence information that a hostile country had “a high-powered microwave system weapon that may have the ability to weaken, intimidate, or kill an enemy over time and without leaving evidence. ” (emphasis added)

The full intelligence assessment is already the subject of existing #FOIA litigation brought by my firm for @JMadisonProject & @BrianKarem. @ODNIgov is required to inform the Court by March 20, 2023, as to the status of when a copy of the report will be publicly released.

To its credit, notwithstanding today's IC assessment, @DeptofDefense & @StateDept have acknowledged its solid support for the victims, and especially their care. We implore all federal agencies with victims to ensure top-of-the line and long-term health care treatment is freely and timely made available to them and their families, as well as award proper compensation for injuries that for some have ended their careers in the line of service."

From [21]:

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.

Chapter 5: The Great British Nuke Off
Nicky Woolf (NW) and James Giordano (JG)
JG: Microwave energy disrupts the electrochemical activity of the communication capacity of the brain cells and thereby disrupts what brain cells do functionally. Thought, emotion, behaviours, motor effects, equilibrium, coordination and so forth.
...
NW: 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?
JG: Yes
...
NW: They wanted a handheld device that could emit pulsed microwaves at a human target. The patent has diagrams of the brain and inner ear. The description reads: “The present invention ... utilizes beamed electromagnetic RF energy ... to interrupt the normal process of human hearing, equilibrium and other senses to produce complete disorientation and confusion.” The head of the company that filed the patent declined a request for a formal interview. But they did tell us they built a prototype and even started tests on animals. And ... they said their funding dried up before they could finish development ... because the Marine Corps moved on to a similar project ... with a bigger company.

From [3]

Nicky Woolf about Havana Syndrome starts at 41m25s.
... the fact that people had heard this sound ironically rules out a sonic weapon ... and one thing that a lot of the Havana Syndrome original cohort described was being able to step in and out almost like it's a beam and the sound stops and starts again ...
... we built one and we were able to project a beam of microwave and sort of detect it ... there are several American defense companies that make devices explicitly to do something like this ... so the devices exist ... we've heard from one source they are being deployed actively by certainly the US and that Russia and China had similar kind of development projects ... and it's actually within the brochures that the American defense companies advertise internally ... loads of countries has have those ... certainly these devices exist and have been deployed ...

From [4]

Dr James Giordano:
The way microwave would need to need to work is it would not have a thermal signature, you want don't to feel heat. And at first, back in 2017 we didn't know that technology was ready, in other words, was it ready for deployable use.
We have learned in fact there are microwave technologies here in the United States and among our economic allies, China and Russia, that are being used for commercial and industrial testing for occupational safety and health, that use very very rapid pulsed lasers to deliver microwave energy without the thermal, without the heat signature.
And what this can do is disrupt a lot of the physiological structures and functions primarily in conductive tissue like nerve.
But it also produces a vibration which is those microwaves literally moving through the substance and in some individuals their physical structures of their inner ear and or the resonances of their bone structures evoke that as perceptible sound.
So yeah, this technology is out there it is at the point of scalable and usable and we think at this point that both an ultrasonic device as well as possibly some form of rapidly pulsed microwave seems to be the responsible entity.

From [7]:

... she started seeing ... some black spots in her vision ... It ... started off being very small, by the next day it was growing ... We started becoming more and more concerned because the spot in her eye was getting larger.
She goes to a doctor the next day.
Cue, Kevin: the ophthalmologist is like ... ‘well your retina’s definitely bleeding.’ And he said ‘I’ve only ever seen this when somebody has a trauma to their head, like a car accident or something ...’

From [14]:

Very informative talk with a big part about pulsed radio frequency with Eric Haseltine, chairman of the Board of the US Technology Leadership Council (USTLC), former NSA employee, even if he cannot say what is still classified. BUT AGAIN, NO WORDS ABOUT CIVILIANS BEING ATTACKED.

[17m35s] It's not at all clear to me that you couldn't if you wanted to come up with virtually undetectable by most normal means way of irradiating people or computers or both using very very very short semi-random pulses, because again the amount of average power would not be above the noise level. but the peak power would be very very high and the way you do that is you cram a lot of power under an extremely short period of time, and again the positive mechanism of damage to brain or to the acoustic medium by which I mean the inner ear is thought to be these thermo- explosion, these little shock waves.

C.I.A. Begins Compensating Victims of Havana Syndrome - August 2022

From [1]:

One victim who has received payments praised the C.I.A. for making the application process easy, but lawyers for other officers have expressed worry that later cases may be harder to adjudicate. Unlike those hurt while serving at the C.I.A. station in Havana, some injured officers have a shorter and potentially less well-documented treatment history, which may make applying for payments more difficult.

From [7]:

'The microwave heating causes spatially varying, rapid thermal expansion, which then induces mechanical waves that propagate through the brain, like ripples in a pond ... if those waves interact in just the right way at the center of the brain, the conditions are ideal to induce a traumatic brain injury ... When applying a small temperature increase over a very short amount of time (microseconds), potentially injurious stress waves are created.'

From [5]:

'The potential of these stress waves to initiate injury mechanisms may warrant further investigation. The thermoelastic stress wave mechanism is exemplified by the well-known microwave auditory effect (MAE)'.

New 'Havana Syndrome' stumps investigators as U.S. officials report injuries on White House grounds - February 2022

This section is about the CBS News 60 Minutes investigative report. This report includes interviews with Havana Syndrome victims and statements of experts.

From [1]:

Olivia Troye, a former Homeland security and counter terrorism advisor to vice-president Mike Pence. In the summer of 2019 when she was inside the White House security perimeter, she felt had been physically struck. '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.' She didn't report the episodes at that time because she didn't want to believe she was seriously ill.

Another person, a senior member of the national security counsel, who asked not to name him, was stricken in November 2020 at the same place as Troye, he described the incident to John Bolton. He told Bolton he had disorientation and ringing in the ears and the inability to function. and that he couldn't speak or think clearly. He was taken to an emergy room. Bolton: 'That was a very debilitating attack and similar to what others reported.'

Another person attacked was Miles Taylor who 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. It was late one night in April 2018 around three in the morning and he woke up to a really strange sound. 'Sort of chirping somewhere between what you would think as a cricket or sort of a digital sound.' He went to the window, opened it, looked at the street and saw a white van, the van's breaklights turned on, it pulled of and drove away. The whole episode lasted seven to ten minutes. The next day he felt sick, not able to work.
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. He was just getting to leave to Israel on a congressional delegation. When he got to the airplane he thought I am already nauseous, I don't know if I can do this flight. Taylor heard of another case his. It was US government official who experience similar episodes at their place of residence. This was an individual at the cabinet level in the Trump administration.

In 2019 during a visit by president Trump to London two members of John Bolton's security staff became ill in a hotel. Bolton says this was a deliberate attack. Months later, one of those staff members was overcome again walking her dog in the Washington area.

Robin Garfield was a commerce department official in China. He, his wife and two children were repeatedly hit in China. His daughter was literally falling down multiple times a day. They were evacuated. His family was hit again during their year of treatment in Philadelphia. My wife catapulted out of bed and sprinted down the hallway to check the children. An extremely loud painfull sound had waken her up. They moved to a hotel and it happened again. They woke up around 2 AM with strange vibrations in our bodies and a sound. He checked his children and saw an extremely eary scene where both were thrashing in their beds, both were asleep but both were kicking and moving agressively. He put his head next to the head of his daughter and heard a very distinct sound, sort of like water rushing. He checked his son, same sound. He reported to the FBI. He personally knows children of eight other parents who had balance issues, trouble with finding their words, stuttering.

One of the first cases of the Havana Syndrome, assigned to the US embassy in Cuba, talks about his experiences in 2016. He is not allowed to say what federal agency he worked for. They and their families were struck frequently in their homes in the night. The first time it happened all the dogs in the neighbourhood started kicking off barking which is very unusual and then this loud sound filled my room like my head was slowly getting to start get crushed. And then severe earpain started, it was very painful. Eventually he started blacking out. He has lost vision of one eye, it is because something is wrong in his brain since that time.

Dr. David Relman, helped lead two panels that investigated the injuries. 'This set of cases experienced an abrupt onset of intense pressure or vibration in the face or head, sometimes with the abrupt onset of sound. Victims mention that the sound or feeling of pressure came from one direction.' Dr. David Relman's committee concluded that the mechanism that caused this was pulsed electromagnetic energy, in other words: a focussed beam of microwaves fired from a distance.

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. And the bigger the device, the longer the range. ... 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.'

New Declassified US intelligence community report says 'pulsed electromagnetic energy' could cause Havana Syndrome - February 2022

From [1]:

Findings

Pulsed electromagnetic energy, particularly in the radiofrequency range, plausibly explains the core characteristics, although information gaps exist.

There are several plausible pathways involving various forms of pulsed electromagnetic energy, each with its own requirements, limitations, and unknowns. For all the pathways, sources exist that could generate the required stimulus, are concealable, and have moderate power requirements. Using nonstandard XXXXX antennas and techniques, the signals could be propagated with low loss through air for tens to hundreds of meters, and with some loss, through most building materials. XXXXX

XXXXX Stimulation and disruption of these biological systems has been credibly demonstrated in cells and tissues, and persons accidentally exposed to radiofrequency signals described XXXXX sensations similar to the core characteristics. However, there is a dearth of systematic research on the effects of the relevant electromagnetic signals on humans.

Ultrasound also plausibly explains the core characteristics, but only in close-access scenarios and with information gaps.

The required energy can be generated by ultrasonic arrays that are XXXXX portable, and produce a tight beam. Ultrasound propagates poorly through air and building materials, restricting its applicability to scenarios in which the source is near the target, XXXXX It could couple to the body through the external auditory canal, interstitial spaces, or the vestibular apparatus of the inner ear. Ultrasound is used to open the blood-brain barrier in medical procedures, and acoustic stimulation of the aforementioned anatomical areas could produce symptoms consistent with AHIs. Studies of “ultrasound sickness” and related audiovestibular symptoms have reached mixed conclusions, but the panel was presented with XXXXX independent, first-hand accounts in which researchers were exposed to high-power ultrasound beams and subsequently experienced some of the core characteristics.

From [5]:

Such sources exist that "are concealable and have moderate power requirements," the report said. "Using non-standard antennas and techniques, the signals could be propagated with low loss" through the air and building materials.

Ultrasound also could account for the symptoms, but only if a victim was in close proximity to the beam because ultrasound "propagates poorly through the air and building materials," it continued.

Psychosocial factors - which include work demands, stress and depression - cannot alone account for the core symptoms of Havana Syndrome, it said.

Peter Mooring note: What they in fact say is that pulsed microwaves are going through walls, people can be attacked through walls. I said this already in 2007 when I created the STOPEG website.

High-ranking Homeland Security officials in the Trump administration say they were overcome with feelings of vertigo, confusion and memory loss while on White House grounds and in their Washington, D.C.-area homes. The incidents and symptoms they describe are similar to the "Havana Syndrome" that has been reported by American diplomats in foreign countries since 2016.

At 18:40. 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. To do what. Well this is where its gets interesting because what may be possibly going on here in terms of the actual effects comes to these conclusions this probably represented most of course based upon our probabilistic inference a non-accidental exposure to some form of directable energy source. Acoustic effects possibly.

43:42. What steps do recommend for civilian patients who've been given diagnoses similar to those of embassy personnel by dr Hoffer and his group in Miami. Yeah, that's a very very good question and I must you I receive a number of emails, a number of correspondences from individuals who have reports in which they're reporting certainly symptoms and in some cases validateable signs. I think what becomes very very important is for them to seek clinical assistance see clinical aid first and foremost. Why. Well clearly they're suffering. Something is wrong. Find out what is wrong that also helps to provide objective evidence that there are dysfunctional parameters and abnomalities which would then be important to feed if you will up the chain so these can then be further evaluated and there are a number of evaluative programs as we know operative right now in the United States into which that information would then be uptaken so the individuals might then progress into the verification validation pipelines.

I (Mark Zaid) filed a federal Freedom of Information Act lawsuit today. In fact access to classified NSA information that they told me about almost a decade ago and members of congress appropriately today criticizing the CIA report saying that it contradicted everything they were being told behind the scenes and now I also have some whistleblowers that I hope will turn into something substansive challenging the very report that was issued.

From [6]:

Mark Zaid, a lawyer for a number of those affected with the disease, told WebMD that the symptoms first originated in Americans not stationed in or around Cuba. 'It started long before Havana,' Mr Zaid told the website. 'It was just those incidents that brought it to light.'

From [7]:

In about two dozen cases, however, the agency can’t rule out foreign involvement, including many of the cases that originated at the U.S. Embassy in Havana beginning in 2016.

Mark Lenzi v. United States Department of State, and Antony J. Blinken - December 2021

Mark Lenzi is a State Department security officer who worked in the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou, China.

From [1]:

Around November 2017, approximately 15 months af ter they arrived in Guangzhou, Mr. Lenzi was injured in the line of duty. Mr. Lenzi and his wife and children began experiencing sudden and unexplained mental and physical symptoms, including headaches, lightheadedness, nausea, nosebleeds, sleeplessness, and memory loss. Mr. Lenzi verbally complained of these symptoms to his superiors in Guangzhou through the Spring of 2018.
...
On or about May 26, 2018, Mr. Lenzi contacted his former neighbor, who had been medevac’d to University Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia. Mr. Lenzi informed her of the numerous symptoms he and his family had been experiencing over the past six months. After Mr. Lenzi described their short-term memory loss, Mr. Lenzi's former neighbor stopped him and said that Mr. Lenzi needed to get himself and his family out of their apartment 'right now .' She went on to say that she had pleaded with the State Department on three different occasions to inform and get her American consulate neighbors out of the Tower 7 Apartment Complex in Guangzhou, but that each time the State Department did nothing. She agreed with Mr. Lenzi that their American diplomatic colleagues should be warned about the potential risk to their health and safety.
...
Mr. Lenzi therefore has the right to 'file a civil action in an appropriate United States District Court in accordance with § 1614.407(b)' with respect to each of the EEO Complaints described above.
...
F. Award Plaintiff financial compensation for emotional distress, pain, and suffering;
...

From [2]:

The government, Mr. Lenzi also said, has readings that show the presence of dangerous levels of microwave energy in China. In an unclassified workers' compensation report he filed with the Labor Department, Mr. Lenzi recounted how his neighbor in China used a commercial detector to record high levels of microwave energy in the apartment next to his.
...
But follow-up tests by the government used a classified device widely known not to be as reliable at detecting directed energy, said Mr. Lenzi, whose work involves countering foreign eavesdropping including by using directed energy. When the government says directed energy is a theory but there is no evidence, 'That is simply not true,' Mr. Lenzi said. 'They have readings, especially in Guangzhou,' he said.

From [4]:

Mark Lenzi believes he was targeted because of his work. He uses top secret equipment to analyze electronic threats to diplomatic missions.
Mark Lenzi: There is no shadow of a doubt in my mind that this was a directed attack against my neighbor and I.
His neighbor was Catherine Werner, who lived one floor up. She's a U.S. Commerce Department trade officer who promoted American business from the Guangzhou Consulate.
Catherine Werner: I woke up in the middle of the night. I could feel this sound in my head. Um, it was intense pressure on both of my temples. At the same time, I heard this low humming sound, and it was oscillating. And I remember looking around for where this sound was coming from, because it was painful.
Scott Pelley: When did you first notice that you weren't feeling well?
Catherine Werner: October of 2017, I started to get hives all over my body. Really bad hives. I woke up with headaches every day. Um, I started to feel tired. The simplest things would just make me very, very tired.
Scott Pelley: Were these symptoms growing worse over time?
Catherine Werner: They were. Yes. My symptoms would get so bad that I would throw up, or I would wake up with nosebleeds.
She says even her dogs were throwing up blood. Werner assumed her illness was connected to China's toxic smog. She didn't know it at the time but her symptoms were the same that American officials in Havana had suffered since 2016. The U.S. Embassy there is all but closed as a result.
Catherine Werner: We hadn't heard about what happened in Cuba. I mean, there were headlines in the news about hearing loss and um, attacks to our diplomats, but we didn't know the details.
Catherine Werner became so ill, her mother traveled from the U.S. to live with her.
Catherine Werner: She spent almost three months with me. During that time she also got very ill. Um, and she and I shared the same symptoms.
Scott Pelley: What sort of symptoms did your mother have?
Catherine Werner: Headaches and um, ringing in our ears. Um, we also started to both um, have difficulty recalling words.
After reporting her experiences, Werner was medically evacuated to the U.S. for treatment. U.S. agencies are investigating, but Mark Lenzi has a theory.
Mark Lenzi: This was a directed standoff attack against my apartment.
Scott Pelley: It was a weapon?
Mark Lenzi: Oh, of course it was a weapon.
Scott Pelley: An energy weapon--
Mark Lenzi: Absolutely.
Scott Pelley: What sort of energy is this that we're talking about?
Mark Lenzi: I believe it's RF, radio frequency energy, in the microwave range.

The former first lady describes arriving in Heiligendamm (the first couple was staying in a villa on the Grand Hotel Heiligendamm compound). But, she writes, 'by the afternoon of [June 7] I could barely stand up. My head inexplicably throbbed; I was horribly dizzy and nauseated. I went to bed, pulled up the covers, and for several hours felt so awful that I might die right there in the hotel room. ' Mrs. Bush continues, 'Over the next day nearly a dozen members of our delegation were stricken, even [former President George W. Bush], who started to feel sick during an early morning staff briefing.' Mrs. Bush's memoir notes that 'for most of us, the primary symptoms were nausea or dizziness, but one of our military aides had difficulty walking and a White House staffer lost all hearing in one ear.' Suspecting a possible poison attack, the Secret Service 'went on full alert.' Noting that former President Bush 'almost never gets sick,' Mrs. Bush recalls that her husband 'felt so ill that he met with [then-French President Nicolas] Sarkozy in his hotel room and did not even stand up to greet him.'

From [1]:

From the video on this page: Fighting an Invisible Enemy: The voices of Havana Syndrome.

• [07:25] There is nothing in the world that is worse than being a victim that everybody doubts.
• [09:40] The Havana Syndrome individuals had brain injuries that were very similar to a concussion.
• [10:10] This is not psychosomatic.
• [14:00] We looked at four possible mechanisms but came up with one we thought most possible and that was pulsed microwave energy.
• [14:20] The National Academy of Sciences report was really helpful and saying yes it is our belief that these are directed energy attacks.

From [2]:

'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.

Ryan Conlon attempted to sue the CIA, DOD, Air Force for attacking him with Direct Energy Weapons citing the Havana Syndrome Act - September 2021

From [1]:

Ryan Conlon shared the recent court decision he received as he attempted to sue the CIA, the DOD, and the Air Force for his injuries. The judge ultimately ruled against him. This was his second attempt. He says he filed last year also with the same result.
What is interesting about his filing this time is that he cited the Havana Syndrome Act of 2021 and microwave and directed energy weapons in his complaint. These were not mentioned in the judge's decision.

From [2]:

Plaintiff Ryan Matthew Conlon asserts that the named defendants are responsible for attacking him 'with a D.E.W. a Direct Energy Weapon, using Microwaves.' ECF No. 1 at 4. He claims that he is a 'non-consensual Test Subject of the C.I.A., the D.O.D., and the U.S. Airforce' and that he has suffered 'Brain Injuries' as evidenced by tinnitus, chronic headaches, nausea, inflammation of the brain, dizziness, and 'ear popping.' ECF No. 1-1 at 2, He states he has 'Havana Syndrome.' Id.

'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.

Havana Syndrome like attacks on Vienna, Austria, US diplomats - July 2021

From [1]:

'Some of the patients described feeling as though they were standing in an invisible beam of energy. Many of them suffered debilitating symptoms, from headaches and vertigo to vision problems.
...
The first possible syndrome case in Vienna was reported a couple of months after Biden's Inauguration. That case and subsequent ones were reported to officials in Washington soon after they occurred. But the Biden Administration decided not to announce the Vienna outbreak—officials were concerned that any public disclosure about the cases would hamper ongoing U.S. intelligence and law-enforcement investigations, which are still under way in Vienna.'

From [2]:

'Vienna has long been a centre for diplomatic activity and has had a reputation as a hotspot for espionage, particularly during the Cold War. ... The city is currently hosting indirect talks between Iran and the US over attempts to resurrect the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. Cases of the condition have been reported elsewhere in the world, but US officials say the numbers in Vienna are greater than in any other city apart from Havana.'

The cases are sometimes collectively referred to as 'Havana syndrome.' But Mark Zaid, a lawyer in Washington, DC, who represents several of those affected, says that is a misnomer because incidents like these had been going on long before the public became aware of the cluster of cases in Havana. One of his clients, a former National Security Agency employee named Michael Beck, was affected while working in a classified hostile country back in 1996.
Beck and a colleague both went on to develop a rare form of Parkinson's disease that Beck attributed to an attack. 'It started long before Havana,' Zaid says. 'It was just those incidents that brought it to light.'

Giordano and Zaid both agree that there is a big psychological component to the phenomenon, especially in the years since the cases in Havana came to light. Each of them gets multiple calls or emails every week from people who think they might have been targeted by the same kind of attack. Most have no plausible connection to any suspected threats. And Giordano has referred only two such cases for further study.

At the end of the day, he left the building and headed toward his car, which was parked a few hundred yards away, along the Ellipse, between the White House and the Washington Monument. As he walked, he 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.”

The majority of US officials, including the intelligence community, believe it's the Russians .. (cut) ...'

'The attacks, which have caused varying symptoms including brain damage, are difficult to track and attribute with confidence due to their nature. The devices involved can be small and portable, and the symptoms can appear similar to other illnesses.'

Peter Mooring note: I often stated that there also must be portable devices, and that symptoms can appear similar to other illnesses.

An Assessment of Illness in U.S. Government Employees and Their Families at Overseas Embassies - 2020

From [1]:

'Military personnel (in Eurasian communist countries) exposed to non-thermal microwave radiation were said to have experienced headache, fatigue, dizziness, irritability, sleeplessness, depression, anxiety, forgetfulness, and lack of concentration, as well as internal sound perception for frequencies between 2.05-2.50 GHz (Adams and Williams, 1976).'

'The areas near the ear were most sensitive to these RF exposures; modulating the RF energy could produce a variety of effects including the perception of "buffeting of the head" or pressure on the face/head without dizziness or nausea, a "pins and needles sensation," and a sound described as a "buzz, clicking, hiss, or knocking" within the head for RF frequencies between 0.4-3 GHz, depending on pulse width, pulse-repetition frequency (PRF), and peak power density (Frey, 1962).'

'The committee finds that many of the acute, sudden-onset, early phase signs, symptoms and observations reported by DOS employees are consistent with RF effects. In addition, many of the chronic, nonspecific symptoms are also consistent with known RF effects, such as dizziness, headache, fatigue, nausea, anxiety, cognitive deficits, and memory loss. It is not necessary for RF energy sources to produce gross structural damage to cause symptoms. Rather, as with the Frey effect or potential thermoelastic pressure waves, RF sources may trigger symptoms by transiently inducing alterations in brain functioning.'

'Recommendation 3-A. If research or assessments support the possibility of radio frequency (RF) energy as a cause of illness experienced by some of its employees, the Department of State should train and equip employees with the capability to measure and characterize their exposure to RF energy in real time should the need arise in the future.'

Peter Mooring note: 'pins and needles sensation'. I wrote this in 2010: 'It started (in 2006) with an electrical shower, that is the way it felt.'

CIA agents suspect they were attacked with microwave weapon in Australia - 2019

From [3]:

'While in their hotel rooms in Australia, both of the Americans felt it: the strange sound, the pressure in their heads, the ringing in their ears. According to these sources, they became nauseous and dizzy. They then traveled on to Taiwan to meet with intelligence officials there. They felt it again while in their hotel rooms on the island.'

Peter Mooring note: 'While in their hotel rooms'. This means that the attacks go through wall and/or through glass and/or through wood (door). It would be incredibly stupid to build such a weapon into the television in their room. This could easily be disassembled.

I couldn't even stand up without falling down. I had tinnitus ringing in my ears." He suspected a bad case of food poisoning and carried on with his 10-day trip. The visit included meetings with senior Russian intelligence officials, a common practice despite the long history of tense relations between the two countries and their spy agencies. But a second bout hit a few days later. Polymeropoulos canceled his remaining meetings and felt fortunate to make it back onto a plane to the U.S.'

Canadian Cuba embassy staff attacks - 2017, 2018

Five Canadian diplomats and members of their families who fell victim to mysterious health complaints while posted to Cuba are suing the Canadian government for $28 million in damages.

From [1]:

'"They downplayed everything," said Diplomat Allen, who said he and his family are still suffering from a range of strange symptoms: his wife and son have developed vision problems; and he suffers from unexplained nausea and dizziness that months of physiotherapy haven’t fixed. One of his sons began blacking out for no identifiable reason while in Cuba, he said, and suffered another fainting episode in 2019 that saw him taken to hospital.'

From [3]:

(1 June 2017) '"That sound lasted 20 to 30 minutes, and I couldn’t find where it was coming from – then it faded, grew slower in pace and lower in frequency, and then I felt like I was going to throw up – I had the most overwhelming nausea," the middle-aged Canadian official said in an interview this week. He got through it, dozed off briefly and then was awoken again when his wife entered the bedroom carrying their oldest child, who was covered in blood. At around the same time his father had been experiencing what he called the loud noises, the child had suffered a "massive" nose bleed – "there was blood everywhere in his room."'

Peter Mooring note: important: 'at around the same time'. In other words, the attacks are synchronized.

'Many of the officers suffered from dizziness, fatigue, headaches, and loss of hearing, memory and balance, and some were forced into permanent retirement.'

From [3]:

'Reported facts appear consistent with pulsed RF/MW as the source of injury in affected diplomats. Nondiplomats citing symptoms from RF/MW, often with an inciting pulsed-RF/MW exposure, report compatible health conditions. Under the RF/MW hypothesis, lessons learned for diplomats and for RF/MW-affected civilians may each aid the other.'

From [6]:

'The Navy sought to paralyze. The Frey effect was to induce sounds powerful enough to cause painful discomfort and, if needed, leave targets unable to move. The weapon, the Navy noted, would have a "low probability of fatalities or permanent injuries."'

'James C. Lin of the University of Illinois, a leading investigator of the Frey effect, described the diplomatic ills as plausibly arising from microwave beams.'

Russia's zombie ray gun program - 2012

From [4]:

Sources in Moscow say Mr Putin has described the guns, which use electromagnetic radiation like that found in microwave ovens, as ‘entirely new instruments for achieving political and strategic goals’.

Mr Putin added: ‘Such high-tech weapons systems will be comparable in effect to nuclear weapons, but will be more acceptable in terms of political and military ideology.’

Plans to introduce the super- weapons were announced quietly last week by Russian defence minister Anatoly Serdyukov, fulfilling a little-noticed election campaign pledge by president-elect Putin.

Mr Serdyukov said: ‘The development of weaponry based on new physics principles – direct-energy weapons, geophysical weapons, wave-energy weapons, genetic weapons, psychotronic weapons, and so on – is part of the state arms procurement programme for 2011-2020.’

Specific proposals on developing the weapons are due to be drawn up before December by a new Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency.

Research into electromagnetic weapons has been secretly carried out in the US and Russia since the Fifties. But now it appears Mr Putin has stolen a march on the Americans. Precise details of the Russian gun have not been revealed. However, previous research has shown that low-frequency waves or beams can affect brain cells, alter psychological states and make it possible to transmit suggestions and commands directly into someone’s thought processes.

High doses of microwaves can damage the functioning of internal organs, control behaviour or even drive victims to suicide. Anatoly Tsyganok, head of the Military Forecasting Centre in Moscow, said: ‘This is a highly serious weapon.

‘When it was used for dispersing a crowd and it was focused on a man, his body temperature went up immediately as if he was thrown into a hot frying pan. Still, we know very little about this weapon and even special forces guys can hardly cope with it.’

The long-term effects are not known, but two years ago a former major in the Russian foreign intelligence agency, the GRU, died in Scotland after making claims about such a weapons programme to MI6. Sergei Serykh, 43, claimed he was a victim of weapons which he said were ‘many times more powerful than in the Matrix films’. Mr Serykh died after falling from a Glasgow tower block with his wife and stepson in March 2010. While his death was assumed to be suicide, his family fear there was foul play. Last night the Ministry of Defence declined to comment

Unclassified - Bioeffects of Selected Nonlethal Weapons - 2006

Through a FOIA request, Donald Friedman received in 2006 the document 'Bioeffects Of Selected Non-Lethal Weapons' from the Department of the Army. This document describes in detail the effects on the human body when applying laser light, radio frequency directed energy, and bio sound effects:

• microwaves:
  • microwave heating
  • microwave hearing
  • disruption of neural control including a sudden loss of consciousness and intense muscle spasms
• acoustic energy:

The film 'Control Factor' (2003)

In January 2003 (!) 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.

My, what a coincidence:

• MEDUSA (Mob Excess Deterrent Using Silent Audio)

  NewScientist, 2008

In the 'Control Factor' film, the important scene starts at minute 40 where Lance shoots his wife Karen because the voices tell him to do this. Then Karen gets up and talks to her watch:

Karen: Control, this is Medusa.
Control: Go ahead Medusa, status update ...
Medusa: Subject has been compromised.
Lance: Karen ...
Medusa: You failed the test.
Few moments later, in the mind control room:
Woman: Sir, the director is on the line for you.
Mind controller: Good evening director.
Director: I trust things are in order?
Mind controller: Yes, the test was a success. It seems that the resolve of a man is no stronger than the neurons firing in his brain.
Director: What is his status?
Mind controller: There is increased signs of stress in his cerebral cortex, some alpha spikes, but otherwise his brain tissue remains healthy.
Director: How about long term side effects, microwaves?
Mind controller: Not that we can see.
Director: And that would hold too for everyone?
Mind controller: Well it should, technology is quite harmless.

A moment later the conversation goes on:

Medusa: When you start phase two, what happens then?
Mind controller: Well, we will expand, from individuals to a larger population.

The technology may also be related to the following patent, mentioned by Giordano and Schamiloglu, filed in 2005. This is through-wall technology and very targeted. Used for 'hearing and equilibrium disruption', which causes all kinds of effects. Perhaps, you can modulate voices as well.

Mike Beck, a former NSA counterintelligence officer suspected he was exposed to microwave attacks - 1999

From [2]:

'Mike Beck, a former National Security Agency counterintelligence officer, who suspected that he was exposed to microwave attacks, while on an overseas assignment with a partner in 1996. Both men later developed Parkinson 's disease.'

From [3]:

'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.'

Peter Mooring note: 'intelligence information ... associating the hostile country ... in the late 1990s with a high-powered microwave system weapon'. This more or less means that these weapons were used already in the 1990's.

Peter Mooring note: 'bathe a target's living quarters in microwaves, causing numerous physical effects'. This means not only that these weapons go through, glass, walls, wood, but that they are powerful enough to cause serious damage to a human.

Wonder Weapons - 1997

In 1997, U.S News and World Report published an article '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
• and more

using lasers, acoustics and microwaves.

From the article:

Weapons already exist that use lasers, which can temporarily or permanently blind enemy soldiers. So-called acoustic or sonic weapons, like the ones in the aforementioned lab, can vibrate the insides of humans to stun them, nauseate them, or even “liquefy their bowels and reduce them to quivering diarrheic messes,” according to a Pentagon briefing. Prototypes of such weapons were recently considered for tryout when U.S. troops intervened in Somalia. Other, stranger effects also have been explored, such as using electromagnetic waves to put human targets to sleep or to heat them up, on the microwave-oven principle. Scientists are also trying to make a sonic cannon that throws a shock wave with enough force to knock down a man. While this and similar weapons may seem far-fetched, scientists say they are natural successors to projects already underway–beams that disable the electronic systems of aircraft, computers, or missiles, for instance. “Once you are into these antimateriel weapons, it is a short jump to antipersonnel weapons,” says Louis Slesin, editor of the trade journal Microwave News. That’s because the human body is essentially an electrochemical system, and devices that disrupt the electrical impulses of the nervous system can affect behavior and body functions. But these programs–particularly those involving antipersonnel research–are so well guarded that details are scarce. “People [in the military] go silent on this issue,” says Slesin, “more than any other issue. People just do not want to talk about this.”
...
The military is looking for something less benign–an acoustic weapon with frequencies tunable all the way up to lethal. Indeed, Huntington Beach-based Scientific Applications & Research Associates Inc. (SARA) has built a device that will make internal organs resonate: The effects can run from discomfort to damage or death. If used to protect an area, its beams would make intruders increasingly uncomfortable the closer they get. “We have built several prototypes,” says Parviz Parhami, SARA’s CEO.
...
In the mid-1940s, the U.S. Navy created a program called Project Squid to study the German vortex technology. The results are unknown. But Guy Obolensky, an American inventor, says he replicated the Nazi device in his laboratory in 1949. Against hard objects the effect was astounding, he says: It could snap a board like a twig. Against soft targets like people, it had a different effect. “I felt like I had been hit by a thick rubber blanket,” says Obolensky, who once stood in its path. The idea seemed to founder for years until recently, when the military was intrigued by its nonlethal possibilities. The Army and Navy now have vortex projects underway. The SARA lab has tested its prototype device at Camp Pendleton, one source says.
...
The Soviets were known to have potent blinding lasers. They were also feared to have developed acoustic and radio-wave weapons. The 1987 issue of Soviet Military Power, a cold war Pentagon publication, warned that the Soviets might be close to “a prototype short-range tactical RF [radio frequency] weapon.” The Washington Post reported that year that the Soviets had used such weapons to kill goats at 1 kilometer’s range. The Pentagon, it turns out, has been pursuing similar devices since the 1960s.
...
“We were looking at electrical activity in the brain and how to influence it,” he says. Byrd, a specialist in medical engineering and bioeffects, funded small research projects, including a paper on vortex weapons by Obolensky. He conducted experiments on animals–and even on himself–to see if brain waves would move into sync with waves impinging on them from the outside.
...
“The work was really outstanding,” he grumbles. “We would have had a weapon in one year.” Byrd says he was told his work would be unclassified, “unless it works.” Because it worked, he suspects that the program “went black.” Other scientists tell similar tales of research on electromagnetic radiation turning top secret once successful results were achieved. There are clues that such work is continuing. In 1995, the annual meeting of four-star U.S. Air Force generals–called CORONA–reviewed more than 1,000 potential projects. One was called “Put the Enemy to Sleep/Keep the Enemy From Sleeping.” It called for exploring “acoustics,” “microwaves,” and “brain-wave manipulation” to alter sleep patterns. It was one of only three projects approved for initial investigation.

Greenham Common women peace activists claim being attacked with microwaves - 1986

From [1], article is not available online:

Doctors are compiling a report on the condition of a number of Greenham Common peace women who have had symptoms which are consistent with the known neurophysiological effects of electromagnetic waves, or low level radiation.

These symptoms range from headache and dizziness to difficulties of concentration or memory. Fears of electronic "zapping" have led peace women at the camp to keep a record of ill-effects reported by their groups over the past year.

Claims that this has revealed a pattern of illness will be presented by the peacewomen at a media briefing in London today. They will report that at least 40 women present at different points around the nine-mile perimeter of the American cruise missile base have experienced similar symptoms, at the same times.

Dr. Stephen farrow, chairman of the Medical Campaign Against Nuclear weapons said yesterday: 'We are now compiling evidence about the claims made by the women. There is obviously a great deal of interest in what they say; it seem feasible, although a lot of it is anecdotal, and we'le very thin on evidence.'

Dr. farrow, who is senior lecturer in epidemiology at the University College of Wales Medical College said that academic research into similar claims was being conducted in Canada.

The symptoms could be related to the powerful and secret electronic microwave satellite communications apparatus used at the missile base. If this is so, it would indicate unhealthy emissions are being radiated into the Berkshire countryside.

On the other hand the American military have an intruder detection system called BISS, Base Installation Security system which operates on a sufficiently high frequency to bounce radar waves off a human body moving in the vicinity of a perimeter fence.

A similar British system has been developed and has been acquired by the Ministry of Defence since April, 1984. Security at Greenham is a British responsibility but it is not known whether equipment of this type has been installed.

Some Greenham women believe that the symptoms are the result of an attempt to drive them away from their protest siege of the missile base.

Other peace women claim they are being assaulted by what the military calls electronic warfare, as part of a 'field trial.'

The Greenham women claim that meter tests outside camp, taken at times when women have experienced the symptoms, have shown a marked increase in background microwave signal levels. they also say the symptoms are more pronounced when cruise missile convoys leave the camp.

The Ministry of Defence denies that any form of electronic signals are being use on the women.

Laws prohibiting attacks with electromagnetic waves

From [1]:

'"Laws against electronic harassment — Electronic harassment is a term referring to the use of electronic devices to harass, torture, and/or physically harm a person, not to be confused with cyberstalking. Laws against electronic harassment:

(1) Michigan — Public act 257 of 2003 makes it a felony for a person to "manufacture, deliver, possess, transport, place, use, or release" a "harmful electronic or electromagnetic device" for "an unlawful purpose"; also made into a felony is the act of causing "an individual to falsely believe that the individual has been exposed to a…harmful electronic or electromagnetic device."

(2) Maine — Public law 264, H.P. 868 — L.D. 1271 criminalizes the knowing, intentional, and/or reckless use of an electronic weapon on another person, defining an electronic weapon as a portable device or weapon emitting an electrical current, impulse, beam, or wave with disabling effects on a human being.

(3) Massachusetts — Chapter 170 of the Acts of 2004, Section 140 of the General Laws, section 131J states: "No person shall possess a portable device or weapon from which an electrical current, impulse, wave or beam may be directed, which current, impulse, wave or beam is designed to incapacitate temporarily, injure or kill, except … Whoever violates this section shall be punished by a fine of not less than $500 nor more than $1,000 or by imprisonment in the house of correction for not less than 6 months nor more than 2 1/2 years, or by both such fine and imprisonment."

• Communicating Via the Microwave Auditory Effect
  1995
  Abstract: In this research program, we plan to investigate a revolutionary new form of communication based on the microwave auditory effect. This proposed communication idea satisfies the requirements for an innovative, natural interface requiring no learning or training for efficient operation and effective communications. The purpose of the program proposed here is to extend the results of a recent feasibility study, performed for the Armstrong Laboratory/OEDR. The study found that voice communications, via the microwave auditory effect, are highly feasible. In Phase I of this SBIR, we propose to investigate the range of potential applications for this radically different form of voice communication and recommend hardware and systems concepts suitable for laboratory and brassboard demonstrations to be built under Phase II.
