What and who are behind the attacks on US diplomats and others that causes headaches and worse? This story theorizes that President Bush was himself a victim. The leading U.S. government suspicion is that Havana Syndrome is a result of Russian GRU-led intelligence services' use of RF/microwave pulsed energy devices against U.S. personnel. Sources tell me that one theory that has recently gained traction within the CIA's Havana Syndrome Task Force is that the Russians are deploying their RF/MW capability via pulsed nanosecond bursts that are near impossible to detect. Regardless, Russia is known to have employed RF/MW capabilities since the Cold War. Within the U.S. intelligence community, there is suspicion that a high-power density RF/MW weapon was used against National Security Agency officers Mike Beck and Charles Gubete as they visited Russia in 1996. Both men suffered early onset Parkinson's disease, with Gubete dying in 2013. The Kremlin isn't always shy about advertising its interest in RF/MW capabilities. A 2012 Russian government gazette recorded how its intelligence services had capabilities "that influence the psycho-physical state of an individual with their fields and rays" and bragged, "in a number of areas not long ago our specialists were far ahead of the Americans." A 2019 Russian army report claimed that RF/MW weapons "have significantly decreased in size and can be installed on a tank turret and even at the head of a tactical missile ... The [target] begins to hear non-existent noises and whistles ... When exposed to low frequency electromagnetic radiation, the human brain releases chemicals that regulate its behavior. [The RF/MW devices] can cause symptoms of various diseases..." This context makes former first lady Laura Bush's 2010 book, Spoken from the Heart, deserving of new attention. While I understand that the CIA-led Havana Syndrome Task Force is not considering Mrs. Bush's testimony or relevant Secret Service reports from the incident, more than five active and former U.S. government personnel with knowledge of Havana Syndrome tell me that the 2007 G-8 summit deserves new attention. The former first lady describes arriving in Heiligendamm (the first couple was staying in a villa on the Grand Hotel Heiligendamm compound). But, she writes , "by the afternoon of [June 7] I could barely stand up. My head inexplicably throbbed; I was horribly dizzy and nauseated. I went to bed, pulled up the covers, and for several hours felt so awful that I might die right there in the hotel room." Mrs. Bush continues, "Over the next day nearly a dozen members of our delegation were stricken, even [former President George W. Bush], who started to feel sick during an early morning staff briefing." Mrs. Bush's memoir notes that "for most of us, the primary symptoms were nausea or dizziness, but one of our military aides had difficulty walking and a White House staffer lost all hearing in one ear." Suspecting a possible poison attack, the Secret Service "went on full alert."
This reminded me of my work in a Bangkok high-rise building a few decades ago. I was there for 2 weeks. The moment I stepped into the building, I had this terrible fainting spell. And I had it for 2 long weeks. That was the high-rise building / sick building syndrome. It could be due to - building swaying here and there - central aircon system where the air is 100% recycled (ie no fresh air introduced into the system). You'd save lots of electricity with 100% recycled air. All the windows were sealed so - fresh air could not enter the building - you couldn't jump down - 'toxic' freshener pumped into the air in the central aircon system ____________________
