'It can fit in a backpack' US bought mystery weapon linked to Havana Syndrome



On today's edition of The Trump Report, Fergus Macphee is joined by the investigative journalist and editor of The Insider Michael Weiss to discuss a slightly different topic. Michael has been reporting on anomalous health incidents (AHIs), Havana Syndrome and its links to possible devices for years and this week a CNN report revealed the US bought a mystery device in the last days of the Biden administration that may be linked to these incidents. He explains what the symptoms are and what this new revelation means for wider global security and weapons development.

Haven’t seen a good Havana syndrome post in a while. You used to see them roughly every two weeks when whoever was pushing it was determined to make it stick or whatever.

two, you know nothing about the topic; three, you can’t make the connection to directed ray weapons which have been in deployment for several decades as well as the use of Soviet directed rays against the US embassy in Moscow in the 1970s; and four, it’s easier to feign a cynical savior faire than make an effort to expand your knowledge.
