Havana Syndrome bombshell as US intelligence report hints at culprit after ‘intercepted communications’

A new report has hinted that a ‘foreign actor’ may be responsible for the symptoms of ‘Havana Syndrome’ affecting hundreds of US veterans.

The National Intelligence Council announced this on Friday document reveals that a small number of officials now believe there is a 50/50 chance that an adversary is behind the mysterious condition – a significant development from previous investigations.

Overall, the report concludes that it is still “highly unlikely” that a foreign power like Russia is responsible – in line with previous assessments – but two undefined groups within the intelligence community have begun to doubt this previously solid consensus.

Sources said The Atlantic Ocean one group that changed its tune was the National Security Agency, and that their revised assessment was based on “intercepted communications” linked to a “foreign actor.”

It is an important development for people suffering from Havana syndrome, who have felt rejected and under attack by the government for years. Many believe their debilitating symptoms are caused by hidden energy weapons.

The Intelligence Community (IC) report said that overall it “continues to assess that it is ‘highly unlikely’ that a foreign adversary is responsible for the events reported as possible abnormal health incidents (AHIs)” – the official term for the Havana syndrome.

Five groups within the IC have said they do not believe a foreign actor has used “a new weapon or prototype to harm even a subset of USG personnel or dependents who have reported medical or sensory symptoms as AHIs.” .

But one IC group, on the other hand, has said there is “a rough chance” that a foreign actor did exactly this. Another group believes such a weapon may have been developed, but does not think it is related to the AHIs.

“Both IC components have little confidence in these judgments,” the update to the report said. “These shifts are based on reporting that they evaluate to indicate that foreign actors are making progress in scientific research and weapons development.”

Havana syndrome is a controversial medical condition experienced by a cluster of U.S. and Canadian government officials based in a dozen overseas locations that began in 2016 among workers in Havana.

Symptoms include dizziness, cognitive problems, insomnia and headaches. The most prominent theory is that it is caused by pulsed electromagnetic energy and ultrasound from sonic weapons.

At least 200 cases within the government are now being investigated.

It comes after a CIA whistleblower said Americans should be “terrified” about alleged government gaslighting of former intelligence workers who believe they have been affected by the syndrome.

The medically retired CIA officer spoke to an investigative journalist Catherine Herridge about her experience with the debilitating mystery disorder, and how authorities have treated her since.

Using the pseudonym Alice, the former CIA employee said she had spent 20 years in government service and began experiencing the syndrome.

Alice said her injuries are so debilitating that she relies on a service dog. She required several breaks during the interview and wore dark-tinted glasses to protect her eyes from the studio lighting.

“I was serving in Africa and had an abnormal health incident at my home on Saturday evening,” Alice told Herridge.

‘I heard a strange noise. It was a very strange sound that I will never, ever forget… and after about a second or two I felt it in my feet, kind of like the reverb from a loudspeaker.’

Alice said she went to the bedroom to ask her partner if he could hear the unpleasant noise too.

“I said, ‘Hey, you hear that weird noise?’ And the first sign that something was wrong, I should have known, was when he said, “What noise?”

Alice went back to where she heard the noise. “Immediately, as soon as I walked back into the room, I heard the noise again,” she said.

‘My ear started to hurt. I started to get dizzy.

‘The room was spinning, my head started to throb. It hurt so much and I had a lot of pain in my left ear, my ears started ringing and I thought I was going to pass out.”

Alice said she believes various, hidden weapons could be behind the strange symptoms she and many of her colleagues are experiencing, adding that she thinks Moscow is to blame.

“I think there are guns that fit in backpacks, guns that fit in the trunks of cars, guns that can be planted where people can see from across the street,” she said.

“I believe the Russian GRU (Russian Military Intelligence) came to my house late at night and took me from the battlefield,” she added.

When asked if her old self died the day she had an AHI, Alice replied, “A little bit.” I got paid for my brains. I was paid for my ability to write well and write for the president.

“I was paid to meet with foreigners and get information that would help advance U.S. security objectives … and I can’t do that the way I used to, and that’s really one of the hardest parts.”

But Alice said the CIA has tricked her and other AHI survivors in recent years by making them “question our own wounds.”

“We took this oath and every day I see how they continue to deny people’s humanity and their injuries,” she told Herridge.

“People who are risking themselves and their families in terrible, terribly dangerous places and situations to protect this country.”

Speaking about the intelligence community, she added: “If they are politicizing this, what else are they not telling the president?”

“It’s a cover-up and it’s terrifying and it should be terrifying to all Americans.”

There have been several studies on Havana syndrome by government and non-governmental agencies, but none have been able to determine the cause.

They found that foreign adversaries are unlikely to be the cause of AHIs, and considered energy weapons and psychological causes such as stress as possible causes.

A March 2024 letter obtained by Herridge from the former head of the DoD Cross-Functional AHI team, Brigadier General Shannon O’Harren, stated that they believed in Havana Syndrome victims.

“We believe your experiences are real and we are unwaveringly committed to continuing to provide quality care to you and those who qualify,” the letter reads.

“The Department of Defense believes us and has actually gone to war for those of us from across the U.S. government. “I wouldn’t be getting care if it wasn’t for senior leadership from the Department of Defense,” Alice told Herridge.

But she had sterner words for the CIA. When asked why she was speaking out now, Alice said, “Because the CIA is committing treason and not only betraying it, but making my friends and my life hell. I want them to stop hurting my friends.

“I want them to give everyone I care about medical care and Havana Act payments and take care of us in the long run.

“I want them to stop denying what is happening to us so that opportunities can arise to gather the information we need so we can prevent this from happening to more people.”
