An investigation into so-called “Havana Syndrome,” an affliction giving U.S. diplomats and intelligence agents symptoms similar to “early Alzheimer’s,” has linked the condition to Russian-directed energy weapons.
CBS News’s 60 Minutes, The Insider, and Der Spiegel spoke to intelligence officials claiming to suffer from Havana Syndrome, as well as Greg Edgreen, who led a Pentagon investigation into the “anomalous health incidents.”
“[C]onsistently there was a Russia nexus,” Edgreen said of the FBI agents, CIA officers, and others claiming to have come down with Havana Syndrome.
“There was some angle where they had worked against Russia, focused on Russia, and done extremely well,” he claimed.
One of the people CBS spoke to, identified as ‘Carrie,’ continues to work in counter-intelligence at the FBI, despite claiming she now suffers from Alzheimer’s-like symptoms and sometimes walks into walls and door frames.
“My baseline changed, I was not the same person,” she said, claiming the issues started after she perceived being hit by a “force” in her Florida home.
‘PUTIN’S BIGGEST VICTORY.’
Christo Grozev, a journalist for Latvia-based The Insider, run by anti-government Russian exiles, told CBS the “attacks” are likely linked to “Russian intelligence unit 29155” and are being carried out using acoustic energy beams at long range.
“If this is what we’ve seen with the hundreds of cases of anomalous health incidents, I can assure that this has become probably Putin’s biggest victory,” he said.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has dismissed the Havana Syndrome allegations as “baseless, unfounded accusations.”
“This is not a new topic at all; for many years the topic of the so-called ‘Havana Syndrome’ has been exaggerated in the press, and from the very beginning it was linked to accusations against the Russian side,” he said.
“But no one has ever published or expressed any convincing evidence of these unfounded accusations anywhere.”
