    Understandable that a military intelligence investigator would be frustrated at the idea of having to provide evidence for something instead of just writing it down and having it be treated as fact.

    Ok, that’s it.

    I’m gonna go full blown MAGA mode and my main MAGA message will be THE GODDAMN CHINESE COMMUNIST CUBERS ARE GIVING US THE HAVANER VIRUS

    We need to get the most absolutely insane frothers to talk nonstop about it so that the DNC will see it as too fringe to touch

    Risk/reward: high blowback potential. But if I keep hearing them pretending the most fake shit ever is real I’m going to for real start hearing crickets in my brain and I’ll have to shoot those crickets… through my skull

    https://cnn.com/cnn/2024/05/01/politics/havana-syndrome-victims-cia-russia

    Many of them felt ignored, gaslighted and unprotected by the Trump administration’s handling of the phenomenon, known colloquially as Havana syndrome. Burns, victims felt, was going to treat it like a real disease and, they hoped, get to the bottom of what some strongly believe is the result of a new weapon being wielded by Russian agents around the world.

    But three years later, some of those same victims and their advocates say they are once again deeply frustrated by the CIA, which continues to assess that the strange illnesses are unlikely to be the work of a foreign actor. For some victims — some of whom are gravely injured — that is tantamount to a betrayal.

    God damn I wish Russia did attack them and killed them instead of making me suffer by living with these crybabies. Back in my day spies would be shot and a star would be placed on the wall and we call it a day. None of this “boohoo my wittle head hurts!!”

          Archer has to infiltrate a top secret russian lab to find the technology they’re using. Barry finds out and destroys half the lab trying to stop Archer. When he eventually finds the right lab, it’s a kreiger clone working on the device, but he can’t get it to work because they got the idea from the reports of havana syndrome. Back in the US the agency finds out the CIA already know it’s just migraines but are playing up the threat for political reasons, and recall Archer.

          Stinger shows the Kreiger clone is just temporarily standing in for actual Kreiger, who says something about it just being a hobby project when asked if trying to make the device counts as treason.

      The CIA agents who “suffered” from “Havana syndrome” have a grudge against the government because the CIA dismissed their claims of an enemy attack and won’t pay out disability benefits. The agents sued the government for discrimination

        Wait, didn’t congress approve some funding for their imaginary booboos that got slapped into some continued government spending resolution that they were playing chicken with a government shutdown over? I could’ve sworn there was a “lifetime healthcare for hAvAnA sYnDrOmE victims funding added to some bullshit” headline awhile back, did they rescind that or am I misremembering?

    I remember a time when calling democrat supporter “blue MAGA” or “blueANON” was just an hyperbola to make fun of them and not a pertinent comparison.

    This article was originally released in the form of a video on March 31. The article is a direct transcript of the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGNVvOqJ50s

    The article claims that the story is being re-released now because a newly reported incident. The article claims that Russia tried to hit Kamala with Havana device in Vietnam in 2021.

    The article also implies that Russia hit Biden with the Havana device in Lithuania in 2023. This claim was made before the recent debate and is also included in the March 31 video.

    We have learned of an incident at last year’s NATO summit in Lithuania—a meeting that focused largely on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and was attended by President Biden. Multiple sources tell us that a senior official of the Department of Defense was struck by the symptoms and sought medical treatment. We told Greg Edgreen what we had learned.

    Greg Edgreen: It tells me that there are no barriers on what Moscow will do, on who they will attack, and that if we don’t face this head on, the problem is going to get worse.

    We’ve known that Biden has had cognitive problems for most of his presidency and even before the presidency. I am lead to believe that this article was intended to further the narrative Biden’s declining cognitive ability is because of Havana syndrome. CBS wants us to believe that Biden has Havana syndrome.
