The report is so shockingly deranged. It's intended to resuscitate a long-debunked conspiracy theory which was a claim that arose from the Trump administration and NBC News that the Russians had somehow developed in secret this like 25th-century technology from the future that allowed them to direct energy waves into the brains of American citizens, specifically diplomats and intelligence officials stationed in Cuba to direct energy waves into their brains through their ears causing catastrophic brain injuries. LOL. And the more the media talked about this, the more people deployed overseas began convinced that they had the symptoms because that's how mass psychosis works. That's how social contagion works. The more people claim that they're experiencing something, the more other people will convince themselves that they're also experiencing that. It happens in many, many instances. The more these people heard it in the State Department, in the CIA and overseas, the more people started claiming that they had similar symptoms and even the U.S. government investigated it for years. The obvious idea was, “Oh, Trump is allowing Russia to attack American service members and intelligence officials and State Department officials attacking their brains, and he refused to do anything about it because he's in bed with Russia.” But then even the U.S. government investigated it and found that the whole thing was fiction. There were no brain injuries, that any of these people had experienced, they gave them MRIs and every other exam known to modern science. They concluded that they were creating these symptoms psychosomatically. It began when a couple of State Department officials heard what they said were very strange, high-pitched noises, and they ended up matching it perfectly to the sounds emitted by crickets that were coming to the Caribbean, in Cuba, and from there it just snowballed.
Even the U.S. government has given up on this. The CIA, the FBI, and the State Department all investigated and all concluded that it was a hoax, and yet, 60 Minutes went back last night as the $60 billion needed to get to Ukraine to fight Russia, but also as the U.S. intelligence agency is gearing up to demanding greater and greater controls over the Internet in the name of Russian disinformation against the 2024 election, both of those goals require high levels of fear on the part of American citizens when it comes to Russia. This 60 Minutes segment, which was in this tone like it had broken some huge story, that they were blowing the lid off of some big cover-up in the United States government that, in reality, this crazy weapon existed and must be Russia because they did some quack research implies it we know everything we're doing and created some super scary secret weapon to fry peoples brains. Utter lunacy how you fall for such pseudoscientific dumb propaganda. Go take your horse dewormer and maybe adjust your tinfoil hat to cover your precious ears before vladimir gets to you!
