Why in the world has our government, until now and until @C__Herridge's latest report, been able to obfuscate and hide the true nature of the attacks on our US officials overseas?
In one of my reports from 2017, I quoted an article by Eugent Poteat, a decorated, longtime former CIA officer, electrical engineer, and physicist, saying that he thought they were "microwave" attacks and that adversarial governments were carrying them out.
From my 12/17
@FreeBeacon article:
The Association of Retired Intelligence Officers (ARIO) in October published an article on the acoustic attacks in its fall journal [by Poteat].
Poteat suggested in the article that a microwave weapon rather than a sonic weapon could have been used in the attacks on Americans.
"A microwave weapon can be miniaturized, be highly directed, and produce many of the medical problems seen in the Cuban attacks," he wrote.
"Microwave weaponization is well known by America's adversaries," he added. "Since the invention of radar, there have been extensive studies and research into the possible effects on humans exposed to radar's microwaves—and many of the symptoms are similar to those reportedly caused by a sonic weapon."
Poteat also recounted an incident in "the early days of the Cold War," which he said was "remarkably similar" to the Havana attacks in which "Russians flooded the American embassy with microwaves, from 1953 to 1976, leaving analysts to puzzle over the purpose of the attacks and the effects, if any, on personnel."
"While the microwaves were of relatively low level and thus not considered a serious or imminent danger at the time, it's hard to understand why the U.S. put up with it for so long and failed to demand it be stopped since it was deliberately targeted against the embassy," he wrote.
