    More reporting on mysterious Havana syndrome

    This reporting from DNYUZ:

    President Biden’s top aides were told on Friday that experts studying the mysterious illnesses affecting scores of diplomats, spies and their family members were still struggling to find evidence to back up the leading theory, that microwave attacks are being launched by Russian agents.

    The report came in an unusual, classified meeting called by the director of national intelligence, Avril D. Haines, according to several senior administration officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The purpose of the meeting was to assess the investigations and efforts to treat victims of the so-called Havana syndrome — the unexplained headaches, dizziness and memory loss reported by scores of State Department officials, C.I.A. officers and their families.

    A screenshot for the record:

    At this point the Biden administration is not saying very much publicly, but somewhere privately leaking out information that they are “shocked“ at how disorganized the intelligence operation was during the previous four years.

    The president did speak at least once on the Havana syndrome topic, but despite media attention in some circles the story is being largely unreported.

    Some speculate that this was an espionage act that turned into a health act, with high reaching consequences if this mystery is not unlocked..

    What weapon is being used, what maneuvers are being performed to make people have the strange health anomalies that they do, dating back to at least 2016 in Cuba.

    Mystery Surrounds Metal Towers Popping Up In Tunnels & Bridges

    Mystery Surrounds Metal Towers Popping Up In Tunnels & Bridges:

    It’s a $100 million MTA project shrouded in secrecy, with 18 of them for tunnels and bridges. So what are they exactly?

    The MTA’s man in charge of the bridges and tunnels, Cedrick Fulton, dodged Carlin’s questions Wednesday.

    “I said no comment,” he said.

    Some MTA board members, including New York City Transportation Commissioner Polly Trottenberg, say they know too little about the towers – even with half the money already spent and some of the towers already up.

    “A lot of the board members felt they didn’t have all the details they would have wanted, myself included,” she said.

  • The odd ‘invisible wall’ attack in Cuba

    The odd ‘invisible wall’ attack in Cuba

    This may be one the strangest AP news dispatches I have ever read..

    I cannot add more to it..

    The blaring, grinding noise jolted the American diplomat from his bed in a Havana hotel. He moved just a few feet, and there was silence. He climbed back into bed. Inexplicably, the agonizing sound hit him again. It was as if he’d walked through some invisible wall cutting straight through his room.
    Soon came the hearing loss, and the speech problems, symptoms both similar and altogether different from others among at least 21 U.S. victims in an astonishing international mystery still unfolding in Cuba. The top U.S. diplomat has called them “health attacks.” New details learned by The Associated Press indicate at least some of the incidents were confined to specific rooms or even parts of rooms with laser-like specificity, baffling U.S. officials who say the facts and the physics don’t add up.
    “None of this has a reasonable explanation,” said Fulton Armstrong, a former CIA official who served in Havana long before America re-opened an embassy there. “It’s just mystery after mystery after mystery.”

    In several episodes recounted by U.S. officials, victims knew it was happening in real time, and there were strong indications of a sonic attack.
    Some felt vibrations, and heard sounds — loud ringing or a high-pitch chirping similar to crickets or cicadas. Others heard the grinding noise. Some victims awoke with ringing in their ears and fumbled for their alarm clocks, only to discover the ringing stopped when they moved away from their beds.
    The attacks seemed to come at night. Several victims reported they came in minute-long bursts.
