Crickets came up because some chucklefuck offered a recording of what the personnel were supposedly hearing, a bunch of Cuban scientists were like “this is a recording of crickets”, and later an American entomologist confirmed (because we definitely needed an American’s final say on the subject) “Yeah this is a loving cricket”. That probably wasn’t the impetus of all this though, just State Department trying to cough up shoddy evidence.

turns out that us imperialist diplomats are just kinda dumb actually, who would have guessed that the clutch of state department vilerats and rich kids whose only real job is springing american tourists from cuban drunk tanks aren't the brightest bulbs https://www.sciencenews.org/article/scientists-are-questioning-whether-sonic-attacks-are-real What’s more, in the JAMA study, scores that classified diplomats as having a deficit in brain function fall into humans’ normal variation, says Sergio Della Sala, a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Edinburgh. The University of Pennsylvania researchers gave diplomats a failing grade on the brain tests if their score on at least one test was below the 40th percentile (meaning that 40 percent of people who take the tests have scores that fall at the low end of the scale), an impairment threshold that Della Sala argues is too high. That’s because, statistically speaking, people would get failing marks on at least one of these tests 40 percent of the time, even without an attack.

Goon Danton posted:It's honestly impressive how well they're able to twist things so that obviously the people who aren't screaming about secret commie super weapons are the crazy ones. I remember when this was bring discussed, and a bunch of posters were acting like "it's technically not impossible that Russia could do this" basically means you have to assume they did until proven otherwise. It was always utterly ludicrous, but they enjoy the benefit of being the "default" opinion with mainstream support and it doesn't really matter if they're inevitably proved wrong months later, since they'll have moved on by then. The same thing happens in Venezuela discussions. Maduro being responsible for every bad thing and the opposition being good are always treated as defaults, and by the time individual claims are debunked they've moved on to something else. comedyblissoption posted:1. unleash previously secret high tech supersonic mindray weapon on diplomatic staff The main theory at the time was that it was a side effect of Russian spying technology, so not quite that goofy, but pretty close.
