Havana Syndrome IS Caused by Direct Energy Weapons

In November 2016, the new Trump administration experienced an outbreak, but it wasn’t a disease. Three weeks after Trump was first elected, an American working in the US embassy in Havana, Cuba, heard strange noises outside his home. It was so annoying that he had to close all the windows and doors and turn the TV volume up really loud. In the next few months, more and more people were reporting the noises. And they started to get sick. Some had hearing problems or hearing loss, headaches, and even mental stupor. At that time, over 20 people were eventually evacuated from the embassy and sent for testing and treatment, thus the name “Havana Syndrome” for the disorder.

It is important to note that this embassy was reopened by Barack Obama in July 2015, and CIA agents returned in droves. During his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump vowed to “terminate” the new open-door policy with Cuba.

Regarding Havana Syndrome, the Trump administration insisted they were dealing with something nefarious. Naturally, the mainstream media ignored and ridiculed Trump and team. An acoustic weapon wasn’t out of the realm of possibility, considering that the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) had been working on an arsenal of sound weapons for quite a while. The DARPA weapons were designed to cause excruciating ear pain in order to disperse angry mobs.

Interesting.

The Cuban diplomats experienced the exact same symptoms that the DARPA weapons were designed to create — piercing sounds, pressure in the head, dizziness and nausea, headaches, fatigue, balance issues, and memory loss. The only people affected were US diplomats or military troops — first in Cuba, but then later reported in several countries: Austria, China, Colombia, Russia, Vietnam, Germany, and Five Eyes countries Australia and the UK.

There were even reports in Washington DC; two White House officials serving on the National Security Council experienced similar issues when entering the White House grounds. One person experienced the strange issues the day after the 2020 election, and the other person a few weeks later.

What is the cause?

The government “dramatically ramped up efforts to identify the cause.” Despite investigations by the CDC, NIH, State Department, and several more government entities, the cause of these strange symptoms remains elusive after five years. Medical experts were unsure whether all cases could be attributed to a single cause. The government developed a blood test that pointed to some of the markers for exposure, but the test alone could not offer a clear diagnosis. And the government said it was developing a detection sensor, but that was for detection only, not prevention or treatment.

Likely causes were:

• Mass psychogenic illness

• Environmental factors like pesticides

• Directed energy attacks from microwave weapons

Mass psychogenic attacks:

Many of the victims say the government’s response was frustrating. People were not always believed, and it even took a while for people to take the incidents seriously. The symptoms were so vague, common and broad that there was only one logical conclusion: they’re making it up! Most of the “journalists” who wrote about this put the word attack in quotes to further the point. The conclusion was fueled by “expert” government reports saying all other causes were unlikely, so it must be mass formation psychosis. Given the embassy’s stressful jobs, most victims were thought to have the illness “in their minds” with the stress manifesting physical symptoms. The government-issued report Acoustic Signals and Physiological Effects on U.S. Diplomats in Cuba, written by “a group of specialist scientists who issue advice on matters of national security” concluded this. (The report was made public in September 2021 under the Freedom of Information Act.) A second report produced by the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit also settled on mass psychogenic illness. Interestingly, the report was “leaked” to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Adam Entous. (Knowing what we know now about these types of leaks, that is certainly eye-opening.)

The catalyst for the mass psychosis was apparently a letter sent by Biden Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to nearly 3 million DoD personnel; the letter stated that “attacks” had been happening over the last several years and warned people to be vigilant for any unusual health symptoms. The expert “advisors” said this created a global experiment of the nocebo effect, in which negative expectations bring about negative symptoms. (Think opposite of the placebo effect.)

One journalist concluded that she had sifted through the scientific findings and settled on this as a single unified theory to fully explain the diverse symptoms of the injured diplomats. She called it a cause as “old as civilization itself” – mass formation psychosis. So much for “follow the science.”

Environmental factors:

It’s true. At one point, crickets were seriously considered as a possible explanation for Havana Syndrome. Some victims reported hearing a chirping sound right before symptom onset. Recordings made during the attacks were analyzed and deemed to be the sounds of crickets and cicadas. Researchers even published papers concluding that the recordings and the song of the Indies short-tailed cricket (Anurogryllus celerinictus) were nearly identical.

Yet, the theory only addressed the sound, not the medical symptoms. Still, the experts said the cricket sounds must have triggered anxiety and stress, and therefore psychogenic illness.

Natural causes were refuted early on by State Department medical director Charles Rosenfarb, who ruled out the usual candidates like mold and viruses. He stated that the pattern of injury was most likely from a non-natural source.

Directed Energy Attacks:

As one official put it, five years later, in 2025, we still have no “smoking gun” for the cause of Havana Syndrome. This is not exactly true, because reports that the likely cause was a directed energy (microwave) weapon, were largely ignored. For example, in March 2020, the National Academy of Sciences issued a report stating that the most likely cause of the symptoms was indeed microwave energy: “directed, pulsed radiofrequency energy.” But officials and academics refuted even the NAS – so much for “follow the science.”

Scientists at the University of Michigan and China’s Zhejiang University reverse-engineered the sound recordings and said that the signals could have been produced by intermodulation distortion. This was ignored as well.

It sure sounds like someone or some agency wanted to keep the waters murky on this one. It worked, because they could claim nebulous symptoms, no direct witness of an attack, nor any intelligence to suggest directed energy. As one official put it, “This is what’s been so maddening. It’s based purely on symptoms.”

Yet a 2014 National Security Agency (NSA) report (again, made public recently), stated that as early as 2012, evidence pointed to a “a high-powered microwave system weapon … designed to bathe a target’s living quarters in microwaves, causing numerous physical effects, including a damaged nervous system.” Then NSA would however not definitively confirm the weapon nor name the country that may have produced it. (Note that all of these articles don’t cite named people, only “an insider with direct knowledge of the incident.”)

In 2023, the US intelligence community (17 agencies—why do we have 17 intelligence agencies?) stated it was very unlikely that the attacks came from a foreign power. (Of course, everyone jumped to blame Russia.) Regardless, was the intent to overtly harm Americans, or is Havana Syndrome an unintended side effect of efforts to collect cell phone data and other confidential information from inside the embassies? Either way, how would a foreign entity get such a weapon to nearby the White House? How would it be powered and focused so precisely to only cause brain injury and leave the rest of the body intact?

And does that mean it came from our own country, and was it unleashed on Americans? Apparently, only a few countries have these research capabilities. Yes, Russia is one of them, but so is the US a la DARPA.

Recent Revelations

Many individual government entities are supposedly still looking at this, and the oft-cited “lack of coordination between agencies” is blamed for the inaction. Congress is demanding more information from the intelligence community, and they’re all writing sternly worded letters to each other, but there’s no real action. That’s the playbook. And the sad result is that many individuals injured in the line of duty have had to fight to get adequate medical care, despite being government employees.

Havana Syndrome exploded back on the news scene last week thanks to reporter Catherine Herridge. In her interview with Dr. James Giordano, Director of the Center for Disruptive Technologies and Future Warfare at the Institute for National Strategic Studies, Herridge revealed that the 2016 embassy attack was indeed the first significant use of a directed energy weapon (DEW) against the US.

DEW are real weapons, and Giordano says they are radically changing the nature of combat. Rather than being designed to kill, the DEW leave victims with “lifelong, debilitating illnesses that prevent them from future service.”

Giordano says the weapons use scalable, directable microwaves and the expansion and contraction of a sound wave to disrupt function and structure of various tissues, such as the brain. Herridge says that over 2,000 attacks in a dozen countries have been reported. She interviewed Michael Beck, who was subjected to these weapons. Beck is in his early sixties and is a shadow of his former self. He has slowly deteriorated over time with a Parkinson’s type neurodegeneration, and now lives in an assisted living center because his wife could no longer properly care for him at home.

At this point, we can most likely discount crickets as the culprit. DEW research started over three decades ago when scientists dreamed of developing weapons that could induce “sonic delusions” and “beam spoken words into people’s heads.” Early research was based on the Frey effect. A tiny pulse of microwaves could be aimed at a person’s ear to raise the temperature inside the ear by an amount so small it can’t be measured—around a millionth of a degree. However, this would be enough to create an acoustic effect.

Herridge also interviewed a former CIA officer who said the agency tried to downplay incidents like Beck’s. The whistleblower “Alice” said she also was attacked by an energy weapon in 2021 while serving in Africa. She later had to medically retire from the CIA. She said these weapons have been refined to fit into backpacks or planted in position within the line of sight of a particular person.

Giordano agrees.

It seems that Herridge is helping to lift the veil. Alice and others are finally being heard, despite years of being disregarded by the CIA and made to question their own health issues. Alice says the CIA continues to “deny people’s humanity and their injuries.” Herridge says Beck and others believe they were harmed this way, and they are appealing directly to President Trump to rectify the situation.
