11: Havana Syndrome - It’s All In Your Head .... Or Is It?

What this episode covers

In 2016, a number of staff at the US Embassy in Havana, Cuba suddenly and simultaneously experienced a strange onset of symptoms, some of which were long-term and extreme. Since then, thousands of intelligence workers and other government officials across the globe have suffered eerily similar experiences and symptoms. Was this the work of a nefarious foreign government, a covert clandestine operation, a happenstance of environmental factors, or was it just all in their heads? Join us as we dive deep into the history, science, headlines, and theories behind the mysterious conspiracy known as Havana Syndrome.   Very special thanks to Mr. Tim Leavy @ timleavy.comfor writing us the greatest theme song in the paranormal realms.   References are listed in order of usage, in case you want to follow along: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/what-is-havana-syndrome-symptoms-causes.html   https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/02/02/external-energy-source-may-explain-havana-syndrome-panel-finds-renewing-questions-about-possible-foreign-attack/   https://spyscape.com/article/havana-syndrome-7-bizarre-facts-about-the-mysterious-brain-illness   https://www.washingtonpost.com/podcasts/post-reports/what-we-know-about-havana-syndrome/   https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/what-is-havana-syndrome-symptoms-causes.html   https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-59986297   https://www.politico.com/news/2023/03/06/havana-syndrome-pentagon-research-00085686#:~:text=The%20group%20concluded%20that%20the,in%20these%20forms%2C%20he%20said.   https://spyscape.com/article/havana-syndrome-7-bizarre-facts-about-the-mysterious-brain-illness   https://ndupress.ndu.edu/Portals/68/Documents/prism/prism_8-3/prism_8-3_Obering_36-46.pdf   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_auditory_effect   https://braincontrolhedge.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/human-auditory-system-response-to-modulated-electromagnetic-energy.pdf   https://www.navair.navy.mil/foia/documents   https://braincontrolhedge.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/human-auditory-system-response-to-modulated-electromagnetic-energy.pdf   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_auditory_effect   https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/AheadoftheCurve/story?id=5305386&page=1   https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/understanding-the-lrad-the-sound-cannon-police-are-using-at-protests-and-how-to-protect-yourself-from-it/#:~:text=If%20the%20police%20begin%20using,rather%20than%20just%20backing%20up.   https://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-politics-protests/russia-buys-crowd-control-vehicles-that-emit-sonic-waves-and-light-idUSKCN1NR1Q1   https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=Theoretical+Analysis+of+Transcranial+Magneto-Acoustical+Stimulation+with+Hodgkin-Huxley+Neuron+Model&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart   https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/2/3/directed-energy-may-cause-havana-syndrome-us-intelligence   https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/06/23/united-states-havana-syndrome-payments/   https://spyscape.com/article/havana-syndrome-7-bizarre-facts-about-the-mysterious-brain-illness   https://www.politico.com/news/2023/03/06/havana-syndrome-pentagon-research-00085686#:~:text=A%202020%20National%20Academies%20of,experts%20also%20found%20that%20this
