People are blaming Russia for 'Havana Syndrome,' but do the accusations have merit?



A new investigation released this week suggests that an elite Russian military unit is behind the so-called Havana Syndrome attacks on U.S. officials over the last few years.

The attacks consist of a range of neurological symptoms that include intense headaches, loss of balance, memory problems, and numerous hearing issues.

In a segment on “60 Minutes,” ex-government investigator Ed Greene claims to have run the investigation for the Defense Intelligence Agency.

“We were collecting a large body of data ranging from signals intelligence, human intelligence, open-source reporting — anything regarding internet, travel records, financial records — you name it. Unfortunately, I can’t get into specifics based on the classification, but I can tell you at a very early stage, I started to focus on Moscow,” Greene told "60 Minutes."

Greene then said the officers affected were “being neutralized.”

While the story is compelling, Glenn Beck isn’t buying it 100%, as not too long ago, it was reported that it was unlikely a foreign actor was at fault.

“One would have to ask the government, were you lying then or are you lying now? Is it that these are just people within these investigations who are disagreeing with the final conclusion of the government report?” Glenn says.

Another question Glenn has is why the supposed weapon isn’t being used against Zelenskyy and Ukraine.

“Is it perhaps because the House is set to vote on both the massive seizing of Russian assets and the infusion of cash for the war in Ukraine?” Glenn asks, noting that many people involved in the story have been very vocally anti-Trump and pro-Hunter Biden.

“It doesn’t make sense to me,” he says, adding, “what does make sense is that you’re being set up and lied to cause you were either being lied to last year or you’re being lied to now.”

REPORT: Mysterious ‘Havana Syndrome’ Has US Diplomats Avoiding Jobs Abroad

'Directed-energy attacks'

At least 200 Americans around the globe have reported possible symptoms of 'Havana Syndrome': Report



At least 200 American citizens have reportedly come forward to describe what NBC News reports are "possible symptoms of directed energy attacks," otherwise known as Havana Syndrome, from around the world.

A 2020 report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine explains that those believed to be afflicted with the so-called Havana Syndrome reported hearing a loud sound and felt pressure in their heads before experiencing vertigo, dizziness, unsteady gait, visual disturbances, and more.

The report noted that some of the observed brain injuries were reportedly consistent with effects of "directed microwave energy," which the report stated Russia has extensively studied. There is no conclusive evidence to support the theory that Russia may be involved in directed energy attacks on any U.S. diplomats or officials.

What are the details?

The outlet reported that a U.S. official with purported knowledge of new possible cases said that a "steady drumbeat of cables has been coming in from overseas posts reporting new incidents — often multiple times each week."

"A recent and previously unreported incident in Berlin cut short at least one diplomat's term in Germany, U.S. officials and others briefed about the matter said," the report noted. "Another person who was briefed this month about recent incidents said, 'It is global — but there seems to be an awful lot going on in Europe.''

The report noted that there are now potential cases on every continent across the globe save for Antarctica.

Almost half of the possible cases involve CIA officers or their relatives, the report noted, citing two officials with knowledge of the symptoms, while about 60 cases involved Defense Department employees or relatives. About 50 cases were said to involve State Department employees or relatives.

One person afflicted with bizarre symptoms even reportedly included a baby.

A spokesperson for the Defense Department told the outlet, "The Department is heavily engaged on this issue as part of the [National Security Council]-led interagency process across the federal government to address anomalous health incidents, and is fully committed to determining both the causes and source. The safety, health, and welfare of our personnel remains a top priority for the Department."

In a statement on the matter, a spokesperson for the FBI said, "In keeping with DOJ policy, the FBI can neither confirm nor deny the existence of specific investigations. However, we will direct you to recent statements made by Director Wray in testimony before Congress where he underscored the protection, health, and well-being of U.S. government personnel is the highest priority; we view all U.S. government personnel who have these symptoms as potential victims and will treat them as such; and we care deeply about our colleagues in the federal government."

Anything else?

The outlet reported that Biden administration officials said that those government employees experiencing concerning symptoms ought to come forward with their symptoms to be examined.

Officials added that not all people who have done so "will end up being considered Havana Syndrome cases."

In a statement on the matter, a senior administration official told the outlet, "In certain cases, these incidents have upended the lives of U.S. personnel who have devoted their careers to serving our country. Our government recognizes how important it is to make sure they get the care they deserve and that we get to the bottom of this as quickly as possible."

US investigating possible directed energy attack near White House that caused mysterious neurological illness



There are media reports of a pair of possible directed energy attacks in the United States, one of which occurred near the White House. Several federal agencies are reportedly investigating the potential directed microwave energy that likely caused a mysterious illness in a National Security Council official.

CNN reported there was a suspected directed energy attack last November near the Ellipse, the oval-shaped park between the Mall and the south side of the White House. A National Security Council official allegedly became ill during the purported energy attack.

There was another possible directed energy attack in 2019 in a Virginia suburb.

"According to three sources familiar with the incident, a White House staffer was hit while walking her dog in Arlington, Virginia," GQ reported last October. "Her dog started seizing up. Then she felt it too: a high-pitched ringing in her ears, an intense headache, and a tingling on the side of her face."

The two possible directed energy attacks on U.S. soil appear similar to incidents American personnel experienced in Cuba, China, and Russia. U.S. diplomatic and intelligence personnel first reported suffering from a mysterious illness while stationed in Cuba, which has been named a "Havana syndrome."

Overall, there are as many as 40 U.S. employees who may have suffered from unexplained neurological problems linked to possible directed energy attacks.

"Many reported hearing a loud sound and feeling pressure in their heads, and then experienced dizziness, unsteady gait and visual disturbances," NBC News reported. "Many suffered longstanding, debilitating effects."

The National Academies of Sciences released a report on the strange sickness last year:

For some of these patients, their case began with the sudden onset of a loud noise, perceived to have directional features, and accompanied by pain in one or both ears or across a broad region of the head, and in some cases, a sensation of head pressure or vibration, dizziness, followed in some cases by tinnitus, visual problems, vertigo, and cognitive difficulties. Other personnel attached to the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou, China, reported similar symptoms and signs to varying degrees, beginning in the following year. As of June 2020, many of these personnel continue to suffer from these and/or other health problems. that cites medical evidence to support the long-held conviction of American intelligence officials.

The State Department-sponsored study stated that the mysterious illness is likely the result of "directed, pulsed radiofrequency energy." Authorities are not certain if these incidents were coordinated attacks and are not sure of who is behind them.

Marc Polymeropoulos, a former senior CIA official, believes he was the victim of a directed energy attack while he was in Russia in 2017.

"The feeling of nausea was overwhelming. Food poisoning, he thought, and decided to head for the bathroom," GQ reported last year. "But when he tried to get out of bed, he fell over. He tried to stand up and fell again. It was the early morning hours of December 5, 2017, and his Moscow hotel room was spinning around him. His ears were ringing. He felt, he recalled, "like I was going to both throw up and pass out at the same time."

"It is absolutely critical that we find out who did this," Polymeropoulos told Politico. "The idea of dismissing it outright is just not acceptable anymore."

Polymeropoulos suffered through three years of constant headaches, which forced him to retire from the CIA.

"More importantly, my life as a husband and a father suffered, as I was dealing with incessant chronic pain – the severity of which I hid from most of my friends and acquaintances – which caused me mounting physical and emotional distress," he wrote last month.

Last week, the Pentagon warned lawmakers about the growing threat of American troops stationed in the Middle East and South America being targeted by directed energy attacks, according to Politico.

"The health and well being of American public services is a paramount priority for the Biden administration," White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters aboard Air Force One on Thursday. "We cannot provide or confirm specific details."
