So, what the fuck should I think? Imaginary? A real weapon? Time for the USG to pony up and have the last word on this.

It also makes clear that the causes are real.

The declassified report even outlines one possible method of causing AHIs, using small devices that consist of "commercial off-the-shelf technology, use mature technology, are easily portable and concealable, and can be powered by standard electricity or batteries. Parametric acoustic arrays — also referred to as directional loudspeakers or acoustic lasers — are the most plausible technology, although other ultrasound technology may be at play."

No line of sight would be necessary, according to the report:

For radio frequency, no direct air pathway or line of sight is required. The strongest factors affecting the power received at a given location are the power transmitted, the antenna gain, the distance between the transmitter and the location, and what kinds of materials are in between. A number of different biological effects may occur, as a function of the frequencies and power densities on target. Any one specific transmitter type may have controllable power and variable pulsing.

Not sure I want to believe the reporting from any source other than the USG to validate. OTOH, if the Trump WH/State had made this assertion, would I believe that? Jesus, it's getting really hard to know who to believe....

Perfectly fits the thread, too.

Some days are better than others.

no, yes, no.

But thank you for posting anyway. It's just frustrating.

The report says the hardware that could cause this is off the shelf tech, not some star wars mystery.

unintended consequence that's being kept under wraps?

The report we weren’t supposed to know about.

That report.

Points to some kind of spy beam for sure.
Not necessarily the Cubans of course, I suspect the Russians who probably have free access in Havana for spying

Some 1,500 cases among U.S. government staffers have now been reported worldwide. The vast majority of those cases have been resolved and were linked to causes such as existing medical conditions.

And the evidence points towards high energy electromagnetic radiation of some type

the other camp says, "we just simply don't know - haven't been able identify anything definitively - " And rather than speculate ...

in some towns in Oregon experienced the same thing years ago. Of course they said it was all in their heads. The US has done its share of weapons testing on the US population.

and has a vested financial interest. Moreover, directly contradicts statements from the 'intelligence' community issued just weeks ago.

I suppose you can conclude just about anything you wish to ... Be be aware that that is what you are doing.

I've seen the USG cover up many things since agent orange and also just plain get them wrong out of no ill intent. I can't speak for all of the cases but the descriptions of the initial ones didn't seem to flag with organic causes of one kind or another. I have seen what radio waves can do when applied with the appropriate focus.

I doubt this was an intentional effect. I also see the possibility that someone has something to hide. The conflicting reports make it difficult to be sure. The government has been vague and doubtful that there was actual damage initially which begs the question of whether they were telling us the whole truth 3 weeks ago.
