Workplace injuries.
It's a lot cheaper to blame 'adversaries' than to admit liability and be on the hook for millions (billions?) in Workers' Compensation claims..
- dgrin91 5y agoSo a bunch of government employees all somehow trip and fell on the job and got the same exact injury, but only in specific geographic locations, mostly in Cuba. Got it, makes perfect sense </sarcasm>
- simonblack 5y agoonly in specific geographic locations, mostly in Cuba. As well as Washington DC, Australia, China, Austria and possibly other places I'm not aware of. Occam's Razor.
- rdtsc 5y agoOne trips and falls, maybe a few more. The rest are not stupid and realize they too can claim they heard sounds, felt dizzy, had weakness and difficulty concentrating. Especially, if they watched their highly sought after post in Havana now possibly shutting down with the new administration at the time. They get to retire early and get extra benefits for being injured on the job by the “enemy”. </totes-serious>
- rdtsc 5y agoAh interesting. I’ve been wondering if the victims could have at the time expected any extra compensation, early retirement or monetary for being injured on the job. Does the State Department or CIA make that public? I can believe some were injured by one of the methods discussed. But I can also believe many noticed they could also claim to have been affected too.
