Unexplained injuries similar to previous
[CBSNews] High-ranking Homeland Security officials in the Trump administration say they were overcome with feelings of vertigo, confusion and memory loss while on White House grounds and in their Washington, D.C.-area homes. The incidents and symptoms they describe are similar to the "Havana Syndrome" that has been reported by American diplomats in foreign countries since 2016.

The officials spoke to 60 Minutes for a new report airing Sunday. Other stories of officials being stricken were corroborated by former National Security Adviser John Bolton, who fears there is a threat to the highest levels of the U.S. government.

"If we were at war and an adversary could disable the president and his top advisers, or commanders in the field, it could render us extraordinarily vulnerable," Bolton told correspondent Scott Pelley. "We don't know that that's the threat we're facing. But I would much rather focus on finding out the answer now, rather than finding out later when it may be too late."
I strongly suspect the ultimate cause is a US based undercover op gone wrong. It's already common knowledge the CIA and the FBI went rogue a long time ago.

#5 Seems to me I read about a new 'secret' high-power wireless area security system that the Feds began fielding within the last 4-5 years might also be a suspect.

#6 US Government acknowledgement of the long-term effects of Agent Orange only took a half-century.

They've only just started investigating the Havana Syndrome.

#7 Anyone done a correlation analysis with the duration and frequency of SCIF access with the severity of symptoms? Just spitballing here...
