Havana Syndrome: Officials stricken with illness on White House grounds
- dv_dt 5y agoSo now I really wonder if it's some EMI from security equipment we run ourselves.
- ggm 5y agoBelieved this for a long time. ELINT has been a part of US embassies and the WH since forever. I think the overwhelmingly most likely reason is an own-goal side effect of counter measures.
- toomuchtodo 5y agoOverly aggressive sweeper designed to energize passive only surveillance devices?
- dv_dt 5y agoSmart (or dumb) equipment that dynamically mis/targets jamming signal to specific locations?
- ggm 5y agoBeam forming comms, guess which people carry the new beam forming devices it's trying to optimise signal path to. (this was part of the OG 5G spec, to do agile tunable antenna stuff so you got diverse high bandwidth paths to specific devices in a "cell")
- cyounkins 5y agoI'm having a really hard time wrapping my head around this one. In foreign countries is one thing, but inside the White House? Options in my head: 1. Large, long-range directed energy weapon off the White House grounds that would need some advanced mechanism for aiming. 2. Smaller, shorter-range directed energy weapon that was snuck into the White House. 3. Not a malicious directed-energy weapon
- remarkEon 5y agoI have to think there’s quite an advanced suite of sensors in and around the White House. Wouldn’t something like this be easily detectable? What am I missing?
- dehrmann 5y agoIt could be directional (MASERs are a thing). You have to be looking for it. You also have to disclose if you find something.

- readonthegoapp 5y agoI used to think it was real Big elaborate stories in newspapers and magazines It's like a professional disinformation campaign run by ??? to convince ??? to ???. And it was absurd the whole time I guess But I'm still not convinced that anything is real here except growing evidence of an extremely compliant mass media
- adsteel_ 5y agoSomatic Symptom Disorder, sometimes called Psychosomatic Disorder, is defined in the DSM V and does not mean the symptoms are "all in your head". It refers to patients with a compulsive-to-the-point-of-self-damaging focus on their condition, even if that condition is a diagnosed medical condition. In other words, it's not a blank check to ignore these people.

- idontwantthis 5y agoNot a joke, I seriously would expect lots of Trump admin people to have panic attacks.
- throwawayffffas 5y agoNot an expert in any way, but from what I have read the symptoms of Havana syndrome pretty closely match panic attacks.I think this is likely the security/intelligence community refusing to acknowledge the mental toll of their job and attributing these problems to their enemies. It doesn't help that speculating what kind of technology could cause these issues is much more interesting than "it's stress"
- ehvatum 5y agoGet your tinfoil hat ready: The Ring Entities are allergic to US diplomatic activity. What is a secure phone call to a US diplomat is a megaton warhead detonation in the conformal De Sitter space occupied by the Ring Entities. The White House has gone as far as setting up Fake White House https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/the-white-house-theater-you-never-knew-existed%3F_amp%3Dtrue https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonexaminer.com/poli... in the hope of dodging the headache rays, but they don’t understand the salient implication of higher dimensional conformity, which is that it’s conformal everywhere. So we basically stopped making diplomatic secure calls, and Putin gets to do whatever he wants, as a result. Edit: the trucker protest are REALLY ABOUT trucks vanishing during transits
