I didn't read it because I don't care. Critical support if true.

My parents watch 60 Minutes because they are old. The whole show tonight was devoted to this story.

Didn't congress already give them a blank check for any medical care they need and stuff? What do they want? Our credulity? Our sympathy?

Didn't they admit that this was made up? Deeply unserious imperialist propaganda

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 37 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Yes lol. The agencies have gone out to say there’s no evidence to indicate foul play. The only people talking about Havana Syndrome is the media lol

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 4 months ago

The absolute state of US propaganda where random internet libs going way further than professional mccarthyists.

How come no one is talking about the elite North Korean assassination Unit 80085 making my wife divorce me and take the kids?

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 40 points 4 months ago

Isn't it just a week or something ago that they released a study that concluded Havana syndrome to be bullshit?

Evil Putler fucked up my brain with a commie sci-fi raygun!

It's amazing they still stick to this QAnon level conspiracy theory. It's ridiculous the moment you give it even the tiniest amount of thought.

[-] Farvana@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 4 months ago

It's projection. The US tried to make one, along with bombs that turn everyone gay and hallucinogenic mind control. We are fucking stupid.

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 4 months ago

along with bombs that turn everyone gay

Damn, that's really taking rainbow imperialism to the extreme.

[-] NPa@hexbear.net 13 points 4 months ago

Feel like they've gone back and forth like five times now.

one time I was doing sex to a woman with big boobs and I was doing it really good when Russian super spies used their brain rays on me and it made me think about my dad's balls and then I shidded and farted all over the back seat of my mom's teal 1992 Ford Escort Wagon.

can't wait for my six figure media "expert" sinecure to start.

[-] TrudeauCastroson@hexbear.net 39 points 4 months ago

My parents were watching the same special lmao.

It was funny when they sprinkled in a couple of sentences about "well there's no real evidence from the medical establishment" and then cutting back to national security guys going "nah it's definitely real even though we have no proof"

It really bothered me they didn't even say the sentence "psychosomatic illness". Also all the glossing over about what exactly the FBI were doing abroad (CIA goes abroad, not FBI supposedly)

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 31 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

One agent interviewee described how it affected her life.

"It felt like there were waves pulsing through my body."

Gosh. I'm really sorry you were mildly uncomfortable. This is a public health issue that needs my attention?

[-] Rojo27@hexbear.net 32 points 4 months ago

Taking COVID seriously geordi-no

Taking fake fed sickness seriously geordi-yes

If I was a Russian or Chinese diplomat I would go to a toy store and buy a space gun with flashing lights that goes "pew-pew". I would bring it to embassy parties and point it at Americans while laughing.

I heard a few minutes of it. They had someone who experienced it, and went on on how they figured it must be some enemy act immediately.

No, honey, you have surprise neurological symptoms, you go to the fucking hospital. Once they've figured out for sure that you're having an active stroke, then you can call the spooks.

It seems like building a billion-rouble Death Ray Lite^TM^ and blasting rays to incapicate embassy staff is an awfully scattershot and Rube Goldberg solution for a problem that could be solved by setting up, say, an "auto accident" or "robbery breakin" to put a vital staffer out of commission.

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 24 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

The whole 60 Minutes piece was full of blatant contradictions and suspect investigative work. Examples:

  1. Some intelligence asshole who's convinced this is a Russian attack (and who they later reveal has started a private company marketing something to Havana Syndrome havers, hmm no bias there) said they're targeting only upper-echelon U.S. personnel. They go on to interview the wife of some DOJ guy in Germany and talk about another "incident" at a NATO conference where Biden and Zelensky were present. So spouses of lawyers are upper-echelon targets now? And they used their undetectable mind ray on some diplomat at this NATO conference, but not Biden or Zelensky?
  2. The lawyer's wife, whose incident occurred around 2014, was given a photo of some Russian teenager 60 Minutes has connected to this. Dude looks like a million other teenagers you can find throughout Europe. She's convinced this is the guy she saw outside her house a decade ago. Just an absurdly unreliable identification.
[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 20 points 4 months ago

some enemy

Some "expert" guest explicitly blamed Russia.

Death to America

My shitty conspiracy theory on Havana syndrome is that some CIA dickhead got super hungover and they had to make bullshit up to cover their ass and some higher up drank the kool aid for funding purposes.

[-] Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 4 months ago

I'm with you on this. Bastards got used to drinking the night away, treating Havana as a resort, then had to justify their slurring state

[-] ashinadash@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago

Simply some fed doing a bit that got carried away!

Oh man! Havana Syndrome is back and its in Pog form!

So excited to see where we go with this.

[-] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 24 points 4 months ago

This is so fucking stupid. I love that in libs minds, cold war geopolitics are unchanged and Russia and Cuba are bffs to the point Cuba will let them experiment with unknown weapons on government officials. Insane.

Having all those blue and red squiggles running through your head can't be good for your health.

Any american working against Cuba deserves it and they get my unmitigated full throated support. If it's a russian weapon I do not care. Why would I give a damn where the weapon comes from? Idiots. There are american weapons being used by cool people elsewhere probably I don't automatically hate them just cause I hate america I just question their judgement in weaponry.

[-] Pisha@hexbear.net 19 points 4 months ago

This website, "The Insider", totally looks like some fed stuff. No masthead, no owners or editors listed anywhere, but an acknowledgement that they are funded by several EU grants. Also, they've literally got an international list of enemies titles "Fakesperts", which is comically incongruent with a serious journalistic outlet both in tone and in its violation of journalistic standards.

[-] disposable_cracker@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago

How does one escape the USA as a naturalized citizen.

Will mexico ever be allowed to join brics or would that become a Cuba situation?

We went to Canada for a bit and omg it's just as bad about Nazis/conservative dribble

[-] edge@hexbear.net 13 points 4 months ago

How does one escape the USA as a naturalized citizen.

Assuming you're still a citizen of your birth country, just go back there.

US citizenship technically requires you to "give up allegiance to any other nation or sovereign", but it's not a legal thing, you're still a citizen of your birth country unless it revokes your citizenship upon getting another or you submit paperwork officially renouncing it.

This is just another "claim" like every other claim. Pure speculation based on feelings. I imagine we'll never hear the end of it. They'll rotate between Cuba, Russia, China, and North Korea as the perpetrators (sometimes claiming they're all involved at once via technology sharing).
