BEAM ATTACK STRIKES AT HEART OF NATIONS CAPITAL, NATION TREMBLES IN FEAR

quote:

At least two US government officials in the Washington, DC, area have experienced mysterious health incidents that are strikingly similar to the brain-damaging “health attacks” that plagued US diplomats in Cuba beginning in 2016.

Last November, a National Security Council official reported being sickened while near the Ellipse, the White House’s large, oval-shaped southern lawn, according to a report by CNN. In a separate 2019 incident, a White House staff member said she also experienced something akin to a health attack while walking her dog in Arlington, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, DC. The 2019 incident, which occurred just after Thanksgiving, was first reported by GQ last year. The magazine wrote at the time:

According to a government source familiar with the incident, the staffer passed a parked van. A man got out and walked past her. Her dog started seizing up. Then she felt it too: a high-pitched ringing in her ears, an intense headache, and a tingling on the side of her face.

The staffer also said she had experienced a similar incident just a few months earlier, in August of 2019, while she was traveling in London with then-National Security Adviser John Bolton. According to GQ, the staffer reported again feeling a tingling in the side of her head, which was facing the window of her hotel room, as well as intense pressure and ringing in her ears. All of those symptoms stopped when she left the room.

The other dumb thing about the whole "invisible lasers" thing is that it's not even remotely clear what the supposed point of it would be. It's not like it's killing these people; it's just making them feel bad.

Like Russia/China's nefarious plan, that they're willing to risk directly attacking US government personnel on US soil for, is to make a few random government bureaucrats feel sick.

this is why i guess if it is real it has to be either surveillance equipment or count-surveillance equipment. lots of good reasons to be shooting fancy beams and lots of rationals that side effects would be either acceptable or at least plausibly deniable.
