Catherine Herridge: CIA Whistleblower Claims US Government Cover-Up of RUSSIAN Energy-Directed Weapon Causing "Havana Syndrome"

Dozens of US government officials claim symptoms including vertigo, powerful headaches, and debilitating permanent injuries from what they claim must be a directed energy weapon, fired at them by a hostile foreign power, who everyone assumes is Russia.

The US government officially denies these "anomalous health incidents" (AHIs). Specifically, the Director of National Intelligence wrote a letter stating AHIs are all in the victims' heads.

I wrote about "Havana syndrome" earlier this year.

John Schindler claims that "Havana Syndrome" is real, and that everyone in the Deep State knows it's real. In fact, he claims, the Deep State even knows the specifics of the "mystery weapon" Russia is using to attack the brains of its enemies[:]


I'm not going to mince words: that DNI statement is a bald-faced lie. The terrible truth is that, for many years, multiple hostile intelligence services have employed a Russian-designed and built acoustic directed energy weapon against Americans to harm and cripple them. The culprits are Russia's Federal Security Service or FSB (for attacks inside or near Russia), the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff or GRU (for attacks further afield) and Cuba's Dirección de Inteligencia or DI, a close Kremlin spy partner since the 1960s (many of the attacks in the Western Hemisphere, including inside the U.S., are the DI's handiwork).

Our Intelligence Community is well aware of what the mystery weapon is and how it works. American spies have possessed fragmentary information about this clandestine Russian spy program for decades. Now, based on extensive intelligence collection and analysis, the IC has identified a half-dozen variants of this unique weapon, which was initially developed by the KGB during the late Cold War. The variants represent improvements in terms of capability, portability, and range. The top-shelf model is customarily deployed in a van and has an effective range of several hundred meters. The smallest weapon is man-portable in a backpack and is employed against close targets at a hundred meters or less. All variants produce similar symptoms and long-term medical harm.

Our enemies are not concerned in the slightest about "collateral damage." Many IC victims of AHI have been struck at their residences when family members are at home. Spouses, partners, and even children have been attacked, experiencing long-term health impacts. Such attacks have occurred inside the United States too. Again, Biden's IC refuses to do anything about this. Somehow this White House is happy to provide Ukraine with tens of billions of dollars' worth of weapons and munitions, to help Kyiv defend itself against Moscow's aggression, armaments which have been used to kill thousands of Russians -- but doing anything to protect Americans from Russian attacks, even on our own soil, is unthinkable.

...

It gets worse. A core component of the Top Secret conspiracy executed by Biden's IC regarding AHI is denying that anything is happening while suppressing evidence that something awful keeps happening. A few years ago, two FBI senior special agents took a vacation in Turkey with their families. Both agents had served as legal attaches abroad; known as LEGATs, these are FBI representatives stationed in U.S. embassies all over the world, coordinating investigations and information exchange with host-country law enforcement. Both LEGATs were known to Russian intelligence, and one had served at U.S. Embassy Moscow. While on holiday with their families, as they enjoyed an Anatolian beach week, they were attacked by a Russian intelligence operative, believed to be from GRU (specifically its sinister and shadowy wetwork Unit 29155, which has run amok all around the world in recent years), carrying the backpack version of the mystery weapon. The LEGATs and their families were bathed in invisible toxic waves in plain sight of dozens of bystanders.

Moreover, this attack was caught on film. Turkish intelligence, known as MIT, has what can be charitably termed a frenemy relationship with American intelligence agencies, and MIT was surveilling the FBI agents, suspecting they were in Turkey on a secret mission, employing a beach holiday as cover (in fact, this was just a family vacation). MIT caught the Russian operation on video, offering a good look at exactly how GRU and others employ the backpack weapon.

However, MIT refused to hand the video over when American intelligence learned of its existence and requested to see it. NSA hackers from the agency's elite Tailored Access Operations shop got down to work and stole the video by cracking into MIT classified computer networks.

...

No spooks I've spoken with know what happened to that video. I strongly suspect that -- just like the Top Secret intelligence file on Iran's nuclear program displeasing to the Obama administration which I revealed here last week -- it's being analyzed by "top men" at a classified facility somewhere in the Northern Virginia suburbs, if it hasn't been somehow "misplaced" already.

Catherine Herridge interviews a CIA whistleblower describing her injuries and claiming a government cover-up. Herridge calls it "government gaslighting."

91 This is not exactly high technology. Pretty sure subsonics could cause these symptoms, as well as radio waves at the right frequency and power level. There’s a lot of literature on medical technology shielding or power constraint failures causing symptoms similar to this—up to and including death.

92 I believe Russia can build high tech weapons. Whether they have developed and deployed the one described is up for debate.
Posted by: Sebastian Melmoth at January 06, 2025 03:18 PM (D6PGr)



The Russians have dreamed up and designed quite a bit of innovative tech over the years. Their big problem is that they build it with drunken Slavs and the end product always looks like it was built by Studebaker in the early 1930s.

102 So, uh, what *is* "our" offical stance towards Russia? We're aiding Ukraine because they're Totes Badd, but half-heartedly, because we don't want a bigger conflict (and they have nukes), but then they cover this up, which would justify a real war. (And you know the Neocon/NeverTrumpers *want* a hot war, but they don't want one with Russia?)

It's weird. I mean, *yes*, obviously there's many-several levels of graft going on with Ukraine, and no one's actually in charge (since Biden's non compost mentos), but it still doesn't add up.

103 I think Harris is probably ok with all this. She was never really cut out for the power demon lifestyle. She should have just married a power demon and enjoyed the life of demon privilege.

As it stands, she'll be able to do that later in life. The Party will line her up with numerous lucrative prizes and she won't be in the power demon melee anymore.

And much as she might hate Trump, she knows he's in for four years of gridlock, Party treachery, public humiliation, lawfare, and murder attempts.

I bet she's happy today.

110 In terms of the feasibility of the weapon, I'd assume that most advanced armies have or are researching such weapons (see Israel). However, they aren't feasible in most active battlegrounds such as Ukraine. Any Russian there is an enemy and is treated as such. Such devices would really be most useful when there's not open combat.

One other difference in use. Some countries don't give a crap and are not held accountable for noncombatant casualties. Hence, I can see the Chinese, Norks, Russians, and Iranians using crude versions of these weapons indiscriminately, while leaders in Washington refuse to deploy such measures because there's a 3% higher risk of cancer in mice subject to the weapon's exposure.

Bottom line: There's probably a ton of BS about this story. There's also probably quite a bit that's on the money (foreign actors harming U.S. citizens and the U.S. government lying and not giving a crap about it).

When I was ten, I was trying to research "werewolves," and the only book I could find was Guy Endore's Werewolf of Paris in the grown-up section. My mother had to check it out for me. The librarian said in a condescending tone, "Are you sure he's old enough for that?" Grrrr.

Turned out I wasn't, in the sense that my attention kept wandering as I tried to read it. (Read it again decades later. Not bad, but not great.)

International paranoia means we really need the deep state to defend us.

Fake fears discredit the real threats because they sound the same.

At least twice, maybe three times, in the show a hospital is shown to be a dangerous place filled with Thrush minions bent on nefarious schemes. I suspect somebody on the production staff once had a bad experience with a colonoscopy. . . .

The previous thing was that all the other parties were banding together to exclude the Freedom Party that got more votes. But they broke up. DEMOCRACY.

Now they will likely have nobody want to join the Freedom Party or the EU will intervene as has happened a few dozen times before.

254 I understand the lack of sympathy for CIA personnel, but these are Americans and we shouldn't let anyone feck with them, otherwise they might get ideas that they can feck with regular Americans. Nip it in the bud. Under Trump I'm expecting these CIA and State drones to be given America first duties and responsibilities.

Posted by: Chuck Martel at January 06, 2025 03:56 PM (q4AHF)

If there was an organization that is waging war against the American people, should I have sympathy for them just because the organization has Americans waging war against other Americans who just want to be left alone?

257 With regards to the use of these alien brain wave weapons...
I suspect, given how weak the *biden administration appears to our adversaries there was no fear of retribution.

Or

The people who were actually running clandestine ops in Cuba, Turkey, etc. were careless and took unnecessary, perhaps careless risks with foreign agents or intel assets. And somebody had to pay a price.

We've seen how totally incompetent this administration can be... and, alternatively how utterly ruthless it can be. Depending on the targets and situation.

It pretty much went down to them not believing that I was reading the books like it was any of their business. It isn't like anyone else was reading all 50 books on each of the 50 states when they were 5 and everything on paleontology.

[Probably fake but accurate:]

"Today, America would be outraged if UN troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there was an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all people of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the world government." — Henry Kissinger
