It looks like the CIA is doing more to fight the information war than banning subreddits and commanding bot farms.

    They actually do have directed microwave weapons that cause severe pain as your skin heats up. Idk about what else they can do but these things do exist. They have actually been a thing the military has been testing for many years now.

    Now as far as causing this Havana Syndrome idk. It could be likely this person is taking things we know are real and making up some crazy shit.

      Those weapons do exist, and there is a non-zero chance of Alexander being right. But I’m worried for his mental health, given that he might be showing symptoms of delusion. I’m not outright saying that, I’m just skeptical and need proof.

      Edit: I’m still skeptical, but after reading his post, I’m fucking terrified.

      I know about those and about some other things militaries have. I do find it hard to believe that this type of gear would be used against what is essentially a single vocal activist, when similar results could be achieved with cheaper shit. You know, paying some junkie a hundred bucks to smash his head with a brick. And the usage of Havana syndrome specifically?

      Basically, this could be a piece aimed to scare other potential vocal activists. You read this and you think “I should be more careful with my words”.
