| CIA whistleblower reveals government 'gaslighting' that Americans should be terrified of |
| 2024-12-31 |
| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A CIA whistleblower has said that Americans should be 'terrified' of alleged government gaslighting of former intelligence employees who believe they have been struck down by 'Havana Syndrome'. The medically-retired CIA officer spoke with investigative journalist Catherine Herridge about her experience with the debilitating mystery disorder, and how the authorities have treated her since. Speaking under the pseudonym Alice, the former CIA employee said she spent two decades in government service and began experiencing 'Havana Syndrome' - also known as Anomalous Health Incidents (AHIs). The syndrome is a disputed medical condition experienced by a cluster of US and Canadian government officials who were based in around a dozen overseas locations, which started among employees in Havana in 2016. Symptoms include dizziness, cognitive problems, insomnia, and headaches. The most prominent theory is that it is caused by pulsed electromagnetic energy and ultrasound emanating from sonic weapons. Alice told Herridge her injuries are so debilitating that she relies on a service dog. She needed several breaks during the interview and wore dark-tinted glasses to shield her eyes from the studio lighting. 'I was serving in Africa and I experienced an anomalous health incident in my home on a Saturday night,' Alice told Herridge. 'I heard a weird noise. It was a really weird sound that I'll never, never forget it… and after about a second or two, I felt it in my feet, kind of like the reverb from a speaker.' Alice said she went to the master bedroom to ask her partner whether he could hear the off-putting noise too. 'I said, "Hey, do you hear that weird noise?" And the first sign that something was off, I should have known, was when he said, "what noise?" Alice went back to where she heard the noise. 'Immediately, as soon as I reentered the space, I heard the noise again,' she said. 'My ear started hurting. I started having vertigo. 'The room was spinning, my head started pulsing. It hurt so badly and I had a ton of pain in my left ear and my ears started ringing and I thought I was going to pass out.' Alice said she believes several different, concealed weapons could be behind the strange symptoms experienced by herself and many of her colleagues, adding that she thinks Moscow is to blame. 'I think there are weapons that can be fit in backpacks, ones that can be fit in the trunks of cars, ones that can be planted at a position with line of sight to people from across the street,' she said. 'I believe the Russian GRU (Russian military intelligence) came to my house late at night and took me off the battlefield,' she added. Asked if her old self died the day she experienced an AHI, Alice responded, 'A little bit. I was paid for my brain. I was paid for my ability to write well and to write for the president. 'I was paid to meet with foreigners and to get information that would help advance US security objectives …and I can't do that anymore the way I used to and it's really, that's one of the hardest parts.' But Alice said the CIA has been gaslighting her and other AHI survivors in the years since by making them 'question our own injuries'. 'We swore this oath and every day I watch them really continue to deny people's humanity and their injuries,' she told Herridge. 'People that put themselves and their families on the line in horrible, horribly dangerous places and situations to protect this country.' Speaking about the intelligence agencies, she added: 'If they're politicizing this, what else are they not telling the president?' 'It's a coverup and it's terrifying and it should be terrifying to all Americans.' Herridge said the Labor Department does list Alice's Traumatic Brain Injury or TBI as a 'work injury', and she qualified for some compensation through the Havana Act - but nowhere near enough to cover her medical expenses. 'It is a full-time job to try to get medical treatment and is another full-time job to try to handle the bureaucracy of trying to access benefits,' she said. 'I've gone over a hundred thousand dollars out of pocket.' |

| #5 You mean the CIA that gaslit America for the last 8 years over Trump? The ones that propagated the lies about where the COVID came from? And then ended anyone that said otherwise forcing all but the rich to lock themselves away? That CIA? The CIA that created the Virus that got out, even though the president had a directive banning weaponization of said viruses? Just making sure the snowflake ICA agent that let us all get gaslit is talking about the right agency... |
