This was indistinguishable from parody. The self-admitted war criminal (“I did some very interesting things for the US government”) who then says “The CIA was supposed to be about putting people first” is going to live in my head for a long time lol
Love that the narrator literally says 10 times that they have not actually been shown any evidence and yet the comments are full of “now this is journalism”

The DoD microwaving rats with some shit they bought on the dark web
Bari Weiss is just trying her best, y’all!
Went to Havana once. I got Havana Syndrome.
I noticed it acutely when drinking from bottles labeled “Havana Club”. Maybe the CIA should look into it.
Havana was actually great tho

I don’t want to 60 minutes someone give me the 60 seconds summary.
CIA is usually putting people first but is covering this up.
The Havana syndrome is a Russian weapon, that might have escaped containment.
Havana syndrome victims should get the purple heart.
brb, Getting a hangover and getting too close to some very loud and horny crickets so i can be honored by the US government.

I think you mean cicadas
bugs is bugs
i can easily imagine that the US chose the shittiest contractor for some building maintenance or pest control stuff and ended up mildly poisoning random people, and is then covering it up by reheating this stale cold war soviet ray weapon meme.
pest control stuff
That is 100% what it started as, the US Embassy in Havana was spraying its grounds to control mosquitos during the zika outbreak.
Then it became a psychosomatic thing where every hangover, bit of jetlag, or any sort of minor “not feeling so great for some reason” malady made them start psyching themselves out until they manifested the additional symptoms they’d heard they should have.
Then it became a good excuse for why State Department flunkies were having heroin withdrawal after the CIA lost the poppy fields in Afghanistan (either the CIA itself was trafficking heroin through embassies, or this was some good old fashioned entrepreneurial spirit from some CIA agents who wanted to do a bit of graft and international drug smuggling as a side gig since they had the opportunity).
any sort of minor “not feeling so great for some reason” malady
That’s called Covid.
Do they have more evidence than UFO and aliens coverup conspiracies or nah?
Nothing cool or funny

I guess the highlight was that the team responsible for investigating the Havana syndrome would make jokes about getting themselves Havana syndrome by drinking.
Same old story that has been done on the same old program already. Except now with some extra sauce, government coverup conspiracy
Alright, nonsense then? Getting a bunch of “ex government employees” to say “this is being covered up” is the same level of evidence that alien coverup conspiracies have.
The narrator repeatedly says they have not been shown any evidence, but they have been told that it’s totally real by the same people who have said Havana Syndrome was real years ago. Sooo…
I’m still half convinced that Havana Syndrome is just mass hysteria among the US intelligence ghouls.
I speculate that it was made up by the CIA or similar and they got surprised to what extend it caught on and they are now struggling to stay on top of the narrative.
I’m tired, anxious, depressed, nauseated, with loose bowels and an ill temperment, it has nothing to do with my chronic alcohol abuse which gets worse when I’m sent abroad with nothing but crimes against humanity to do, it’s actually the dang ruskies again
Havana Syndrome is basically the CIA’s 3rd attempt at reproducing the Dancing plague of 1518.
I agree “when you get older you feel like shit” and “US doesn’t have universal healthcare” are both a massive CIA cover-up.
