Declassified report suggests "Havana syndrome" could result from energy weapon [View all]

A newly obtained declassified report prepared for the director of national intelligence by a panel of experts appears to show conclusively that "Havana syndrome" — a cluster of unexplained symptoms experienced by diplomats and government personnel abroad — is not a naturally occurring health problem. It does not reach any conclusions about who or what may be responsible, but suggests that an unknown device or weapon using "pulsed electromagnetic energy" remains a plausible explanation.

The document was declassified after the James Madison Project, a nonprofit dedicated to reducing government secrecy, sued to obtain further information on "Anomalous Health Incidents" or AHIs, the official term used to designate the syndrome.

"The U.S. government is covering up evidence as to what AHIs are," said James Madison Project attorney Mark Zaid, who also represents a number of Havana syndrome patients. "This report differs from the summary released earlier this month and previous statements from the intelligence community. It is becoming apparent that these events were perpetrated either by foreign actors, or it is an experiment gone horribly wrong."


Further: The report says that electronic devices are far more likely to cause the effects and are a plausible cause.
"Sources exist that could generate the required stimulus, are concealable, and have moderate power requirements."


Such electromagnetic signals, the report continues, "could be propagated with low loss through air for tens to hundreds of meters, and with some loss, through most building materials."


So the cause is something NO ONE, especially our own Intel Services, wants to admit exists and has these side effects. We don't need Orlon's magic chipset under our skin because the external listening tools already exist?
