Havana Syndrome is a mysterious illness affecting U.S. diplomats working in communist places like Cuba, China, and Russia. Kamala Harris’ recent trip to Vietnam was delayed because of a suspected Havana Syndrome attack. It is generally believed the illness is caused by some kind of microwave or subsonic weapon. Well, it was because now the State Department says it’s crickets. Yeah, f*cking crickets.
Havana Syndrome was first detected in 2017 at the U.S. Embassy in Havana, Cuba, hence its name. Diplomats reported hearing strange grating noises that caused pressure changes in their heads, that lasted from 20 second to 30 minutes. People in rooms next to those affected did not experience the noise, meaning whatever was causing it was from a directed attack.
The victims suffered hearing loss, memory loss, and nausea. The Journal of the American Medical Association found that the victims had suffered brain injuries but couldn’t identify the cause.
In 2018 U.S. diplomats at the Guangzhou consulate in China began experiencing Havana Syndrome attacks as well as employees at the U.S. Embassy in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Other attacks on U.S. personnel happened in Russia, Poland, Colombia, and Kyrgyzstan. There were even reports of attacks in and around Washington D.C., including near the White House in 2020.
The victims who have been studied appear to have been hit with pulsed radiofrequency/microwave radiation. Another theory, based on the symptoms says the victims were bombarded with intermodulation distortion from an inaudible ultrasonic signal.
Either way, based on the locations of the attacks and the nature of the symptoms, it’s pretty clear that this is a targeted communist weapon.
The State Department however has come to a much different conclusion. The department’s JASON Working Group, a team of elite scientists, studied Havana Syndrome and decided it was insects. In a newly declassified report, JASON looked at all the evidence, including a few audio recordings some of the victims in Havana made, and dropped this super-sciencey thing:
We believe the recorded sounds are mechanical or biological in origin, rather than electronic. The most likely source is the Indies short tailed cricket, Anurogrylis celerinictus. The call of this animal matches, in nuanced detail, the spectral properties of the recordings from Cuba once room echoes are taken into account.
But like all government bullshit, this report contradicts itself immediately:
Many of the affected individuals describe hearing unusual sounds, and there are a number of recordings of these sounds. However. in only one instance that we know of (May, 2018 event), does the recorded sound occur simultaneously with reported onset of symptoms. Other instances of the sound were recorded at a different time and/or in a different place, from the reported incident.
They studied 8 of the 21 people initially affected by Havana Syndrome by listening to audio recording they made at times different than when they were attacked and the JASON Working Group concluded it was crickets. That’s worse than the science the CDC is using to force vaccinated people to wear masks.
There are a couple of more problems with this State Department explanation: 1st, the short-tailed Anurogrylis celerinictus is found in Cuba but not any of the other locations of reported Havana Syndrome attacks. 2nd, these crickets have existed in Cuba way before 2017, when the first reported attack occurred.
We can actually go for a third problem: How come these crickets only sonically attack U.S. personnel working in commie zones?
Crickets are responsible for the lack of enthusiasm at a Joe Biden rally but they don’t cause Havana Syndrome. The government is so conditioned to lie that they’ve come out with a report claiming that U.S. diplomats got brain injuries from crickets. Isn’t that basically the plot of the film The Beginning of the End with the giant radioactive crickets?
