RETHINKING - MARCH 22, 2023 - HAVANA SYNDROME

 Several days ago, the Wall Street Journal posted a story titled “Havana Syndrome Revisited” written by Mary Anastasia O’Grady. (March 19, 2023)

The story starts with the following paragraph: “Cuban intelligence opposed warming U.S. relations. Did it send a message?”

The WSJ’s columnist about Latin American’s issues explained that Avril Haines, the director of national intelligence, in the beginning of this month put down all the government's concerns about the famous “Havana Syndrome”.

The report explains that “preexisting conditions, conventional illnesses, and environmental factors” are more probable causes of the sickness that some members of our foreign services in Cuba felt since President Obama opened the Havana Embassy.

During years, officers and employees of embassies like Cuba, Russia, Serbia, China and Vietnam returned to the U.S. sick with headaches and brain problems due to an apparent “directed-energy technology” that they received when they were working in the foreign offices. 

In particular, the officers working in Havana since the U.S. embassy was reopened,  in frequent opportunities commented that the building is under special electrical vibrations that affect the normal performance of the members of the office.

After the document was issued by the director of national security, some former members of the foreign relations came to the press objecting to the official report.

The case remains open and the provisional conclusion of some observers is that the U.S. government doesn’t want to close embassies in rival or enemy countries, and for this reason, the intelligence services try to put down the complaints of American officers.

My comment posted in the blog section of the WSJ Online page was: When we travel to countries that have a high animosity against America, we cannot expect a friendly attitude with us.
