Doctors and scientists say that microwave weapons are the main suspect behind the mysterious ailments of dozens of American diplomats and family members in Cuba and China.
Douglas Smith, director of the Center for Brain Injury and Repair at the University of Pennsylvania, told The New York Times that microwaves were likely behind the health incidents, some of which likely resulted in brain injury.
Smith was the lead author of a study that examined 21 affected U.S. diplomats from Cuba. The study, published in The Journal of the American Medical Association in March, did not mention microwaves.
“Everybody was relatively skeptical at first, and everyone now agrees there’s something there,” Smith told the Times.
Experts told the Times that microwave strikes likely explain why some Americans in Cuba and China reported hearing painful sounds, loss of hearing, vertigo and other ailments. Investigators previously speculated that the attacks were caused by sonic waves or viral infections.
The Times reported that some analysts cited the "Frey effect" as a possible explanation behind the reported illnesses. The phenomenon is named for American scientist Allan Frey, who discovered that microwaves can cause the brain to perceive what appear to be ordinary sounds, such as loud noises like ringing or buzzing, the paper noted.
It is still unclear who is responsible for the attacks.
"The health and well-being of our personnel remains our top priority," a State Department official said in a statement to The Hill. "The investigation into the origin of these symptoms continues. The inter-agency community is working diligently to determine the cause of the symptoms, as well as to develop mitigation strategies.”
The attacks at the U.S. embassy in Havana resulted in a diplomatic row in which Washington late last year. At the time, the Trump administration announced it would drastically reduce its diplomatic staff in Cuba and expel more than a dozen Cuban diplomats over months of alleged "health attacks" directed at U.S. personnel.
The Cuban government, which is conducting an individual investigation into the matter, has denied any role in the incidents and has accused the U.S. of playing politics with the cases.

Really?
Memo to self:
Don’t live in a Microwave.
How long before the deep state try this on the Trump family....PRACTICALLY ALL of the D.C. macabre establishment would approve...scary shit!!! No way to protect the first family!!

I wonder if it is the brain in general or if this is a direct effect on the cochlea.
Scary!!
So in this case, it might actually be good to have your tinfoil hat on
Isn’t there a way to detect such microwaves?
PING
NEWS RELEASE:
Doctors, scientists say microwave strikes may have caused mysterious ailments of US embassy workers
Saturday evening of a three day holiday weekend...
Really?/
Probably. Of course not knowing of the threat, I doubt any sensors were set up previously. Perhaps now they will be?
Paper wrapped chocolate bar in your shirt pocket
*That is the reported way man made microwaves were discovered...melted in guy's shirt pocket.
Perfectly practical weapon. Mobile High Power Transmitter and a reasonable gain antenna, in a cargo Truck. It would work well at close range.
But ...
Easy to defend against:
1. Install broadband RF radiation detectors.
2. Install an audible and computer connected alarm system.
3. Any RF detection above a predefined level triggers the alarm.
4. All computers show an Evacuate messsage.
5. A loudspeaker blasts out the same message.
“No way to protect the first family!!”
The Secret Service monitors all frequencies for comm and threat including microwave bands.
Would this not be an "attack" on our personnel?
As a gas company service technician, I once had a leak order at the upper floor of a high rise building. Workers there were complaining of lightheadedness and nausea and they assumed it was from our gas, even though their building had no gas supplied to it! I did a thorough investigation which included my climbing a ladder into the false ceiling to probe for methane. As I climbed upward, I,too, got lightheaded!
That’s when I noticed that the phone company building next door had a rooftop microwave array.
It was aimed right over the top of the building we were in. As I decended the ladder,my head effects cleared up. I’m sure that those people were exposed to stray MW beams but only on the upper floors!
Looks like long-known microwave theory is being released to coincide with the China tariffs.
“One suspects (but does not know) that the microwave assaults may have somehow been for spying purposes, and that the ailments are the result.”

Here is a question? Quality exterior paint made before the 1970s had lead in it. I wonder if lead paint would stop the microwaves. If so, then we have a partial solution.
Should we be concerned about 5G ?
