Mystery of sonic weapon attacks

Havana syndrome symptoms are real, but they leave no imprint on the brain​

A new government study involved more than 80 victims of Havana syndrome . Scientists note that their results did not reveal any signs of traumatic brain injury, but found “real symptoms” of the mysterious illness, which the team called “very profound” and “disabling,” reports the Daily Mail.

The results of the study show that among the real symptoms of the disease were constant dizziness and problems with balance – these were observed in 28% of embassy employees and other patients examined. However, not the entire scientific community agrees with the results of the new study.

According to a Georgetown neuroscientist who conducted early research into the syndrome for the Pentagon’s Special Operations Command, the new findings risk creating “the false conclusion that there is nothing going on in people’s brains.”

Dr. James Giordano, who teaches neurology at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, said the new study’s findings are consistent with his own work conducted in 2017-18 for the U.S. Special Operations Command. The team then discovered persistent problems in the functions of the human brain, but not in its structure. In fact, the consequences of the “Havana syndrome” were comparable to the consequences of a “mini-stroke”.

Dr. Giordano believes that Havana syndrome is a disorder of neurological function that results in multiple consequences, including physiological effects that manifest themselves cognitively, motorically, and behaviorally.

The results disprove the theory that the symptoms of Havana syndrome victims are explained by “mass hysteria.” The neurologist compares the findings to a variety of other long-term brain diseases in which physical evidence of damage quickly disappears.

Dr. Giordano notes that some initial changes may be seen during a transient ischemic attack, but they will subside over time. Cases of “decompression sickness,” or bends, he noted, also manifest as mini-strokes or Havana syndrome, causing long-term impairment of brain function that is not accompanied by visible forms of long-term damage.

In the new study, the team performed MRI scans on 81 of 86 State Department employees and their adult family members who reported “abnormal health incidents.” Next, the scientists compared the MRI results of the study participants with the MRI results of 48 recipients from the control group. The results showed no differences between the MRIs of the study participants and the control group, although the scientists noted that they could not rule out the temporary injury described by Dr. Giordano.

At the same time, 24 patients with “Havana syndrome” showed verifiable signs of a condition known as “persistent postural-perceptual vertigo.” This condition can be caused by inner ear problems or stress, and occurs when the brain’s networks are unable to communicate properly. This is a functional problem that occurs without permanent signs of brain damage.

Co-author of the new study, neuropsychologist Dr. Louis French, describes the condition as a form of “maladaptive response.” In simple terms, the scientist compares this condition to what occurs in patients who slouch to relieve back pain. However, even after the pain is eliminated, these people continue to have problems with posture.

Despite the absence of scarring on MRIs, scientists concluded that victims of Havana syndrome actually have real symptoms and are “going through a difficult time.” The team also insists that symptoms can be profound, disabling and difficult to treat.

No brain abnormalities in the test group relative to the control group, suggests ( to me ) that the test group were normal people having a response to external stimuli, rather than an experience resulting from an internal brain disorder.
 

Pentagon paid EIGHT FIGURES for mysterious device believed to be cause of 'Havana Syndrome' that sickened spies, sources say​

The Pentagon shelled out a staggering eight figure sum for a weapon believed to be the cause of the mysterious 'Havana Syndrome', insiders say. The weapon has been blamed for a series of unexplained ailments impacting US spies, diplomats and military servicemembers for the past decade. According to military sources speaking to CNN, the Defense Department has spent more than a year testing the device, which was reportedly purchased in an undercover operation for 'eight figures'.

The device was clandestinely purchased in the final days of the Biden administration and is said to produce pulsed radio waves that penetrate a person's body, according to insiders. It has been linked to so-called 'Havana Syndrome', a controversial disease which is yet to be formally recognized but has been put forward as an explanation for dozens of anomalous ailments hitting US officials. The condition was first documented in 2016, after officials said a localized sound wave caused symptoms including headaches, dizziness, nausea, cognitive impairment, memory lapses, balance issues and insomnia.

The device was purchased by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), a division of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), according to sources. The weapon contains Russian-made components, although it is not clear where or from whom the device was purchased, insiders said. Sources said the mysterious device could fit in a backpack, but details over the exact makeup of the weapon remain unclear.

According to insiders who say they were briefed on the device, investigators have long struggled to understand how the weapon could be so potent and yet still portable, reports CNN.

That's interesting. Manstray of UFO stories is that when EBs feel threatened by humans they pull out pencil like device that immediately incapacitates humans with EM waves. But the effect is always very short term, letting EBs withdraw into safety.
 
Judicial Watch just filed a FOIA lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice and four other federal agencies, seeking records concerning anomalous health incidents, commonly referred to as “Havana Syndrome":



These guys have long been doing a really great job on all accounts, but sadly the essential American people's support and following has been surprisingly insignificant. YT podcasts like "Weaponized" are just in a FAR opposite reality when it comes to support and following, the difference is astronomical, alas.
