neitherconfirmnordeny.substack.comLittle-known FBI unit ruled Havana Syndrome not caused by acoustic weaponA 2017 report from the FBI’s Audio Surveillance Unit states there is “no supporting evidence” to connect Havana Syndrome to acoustic attacks.

In 2017, claims of "sonic attacks" targeting U.S. Embassy staff emerged from Cuba. The FBI conducted an investigation, finding no evidence of acoustic attacks, and it's now refusing to release its report in full. neitherconfirmnordeny.substack.com/p/little-kno...

This is important because, as recently as 2024, journalists have claimed acoustic weapons could be one of the plausible mechanisms for Havana Syndrome. theins.press/en/politics/...

For more about the ASU report and the spooky history of Havana Syndrome 👇👇 neitherconfirmnordeny.substack.com/p/little-kno...

Via FOIA, I obtained a copy of a report issued by the FBI's Audio Surveillance Unit. Although nearly fully redacted, the report states ASU concluded there was "no supporting evidence" to link acoustic weapons to Havana Syndrome.

Unlike the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, which largely handles criminal investigations, ASU is housed in the Operational Technology Division. OTD, according to the FBI, collaborates on "intelligence, national security, and law enforcement operations."

theguardian.com‘Like a drill going into my eye’: why the mystery over Havana syndrome refuses to dieDozens of CIA officers have been afflicted by debilitating symptoms over the past decade. Are they the result of ‘mass hysteria’? Or are they from attacks with an energy weapon and, if so, who is responsible? And has there been a cover-up?

Really shoddy reporting from The Guardian here. The piece, a thinly-veiled press release for Michael Rey's and Oriana Zill de Granados's new book, repeats uncritically the preferred narrative of a Russia Lobby operating within the Intelligence Community.

‘Like a drill going into my eye’: why the mystery over Havana syndrome refuses to die

This reflects a persistent problem with Havana Syndrome coverage: media largely ignores alternative explanations while devoting significant space to repeating specious claims. Why no mention of recent news regarding a joint US/Canadian covert intelligence operation in Cuba? archive.is/UvyTC

x.comRobert Skvarla (@RobertSkvarla) on XThe reason they're pushing this so hard is because a segment of the natsec community wants war with Russia. Here's a "CIA whistleblower" saying it outright:

Or the fact that there's very obviously a Russia Lobby within the Intelligence Community using Havana Syndrome to promote war with Russia? x.com/RobertSkvarl...

‘Like a drill going into my eye’: why the mystery over Havana syndrome refuses to die

The article concludes with the claim that we secured some kind of "device" from "a complex Russian illicit network." Despite noting that this device has no actual relevance to the Havana Syndrome investigation, because it wasn't used in Cuba, it's still presented as evidence.

There are at least three conflicting accounts of how this "device" was supposedly obtained. I detailed the problems with those stories in a thread on X earlier this year: x.com/RobertSkvarl...

Giordano has financial ties to organizations that have received AHI contracts, and he heads a federally-funded think tank, the Institute for Biodefense Research. Financial disclosures should be made with any comments from him, if any deeper ties exist. geopoliticaleconomy.com/2023/03/16/u...

The assumption of impartiality seems to be a recurring problem in the article. It's never mentioned that Christo Grozev, one of the Insider journalists, worked with Ukrainian intelligence while still ostensibly functioning as a journalist.

Walker also misrepresents Dr. James Giordano as an impartial critic of the mass psychogenic illness theory.

Walker makes no mention of Giordano's evangelical-like fervor in promoting claims of microwave weapons. He's the go-to talking head used by the media when they need someone to promote Havana Syndrome:

The author, Shaun Walker, doesn't identify that his claim of the "first known AHIs" in Germany comes from a highly speculative investigative piece produced by 60 Minutes and The Insider. I've detailed the flaws there in posts over on X: x.com/RobertSkvarl...

Did you know the GOAT, Robert Skvarla, started a blog and a podcast? Here he ties CIA mind control programs to the most seminal work of scientific racism of my lifetime.

What do a CIA animal training program and the controversial 1994 book The Bell Curve have in common? Harvard psychologist Richard Herrnstein. Join me for part two of my deep-dive into the history of the CIA's animal training research:

Herrnstein, of course, would go on to co-author the controversial 1994 book The Bell Curve. As I've mentioned on X, his writing partner, Charles Murray, was also a recipient of CIA funding in the late 1960s.

api.omarshehata.meBirds Are Real, and They’re Watching You: The Secret History Behind the Government’s Pigeon Drone, Pt. 2Bird Drones, The Bell Curve, and MKULTRA

If you're interesting in learning more about these connections, or the spooky history of CIA behavioral research, check out my new article: api.omarshehata.me/substack-pro...

The CIA and ARPA jointly funded animal programs in this same period. Bird research was classified under a program name of AXIOLITE. www.cia.gov/readingroom/...

More troubling is an apparent connection to MKULTRA. The CIA carried out animal studies as part of the program, and a 1969 memo from project head Sid Gottlieb discusses bird and cat programs (after Acoustic Kitty was allegedly terminated). www.cia.gov/readingroom/...

Donald Loveland, Herrnstein's co-author, may have been been aware of agency interest. A memo in the CIA's Reading Room named "General Atronics," sent two months earlier, indicates someone at the company was "witting" regarding a contract under review: www.cia.gov/readingroom/...

Records I found at the National Archives definitively connect General Atronics to a contract with ARPA, predecessor to DARPA, for work on a "Bird Penetration System" in the late 1960s. api.omarshehata.me/substack-pro...

Where things become interesting is that Robert Bailey, a CIA contractor who claims to have worked on the agency's notorious cat project Acoustic Kitty, states his company provided support for one phase of the bird program. www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-...

Herrnstein and Loveland appear to have working covertly for the CIA, as reflected in a memo from January of 1965 where agency officials discuss a "Limited Warfare Laboratory bird program." www.cia.gov/readingroom/...

During the 1960s, researchers Richard Herrnstein and Donald Loveland conducted work on pattern-recognition in pigeons. Their study was funded by the Limited Warfare Laboratory, a spooky R&D outfit sometimes compared to spy series The Man from UNCLE. api.omarshehata.me/substack-pro...

The LWL's motives weren't benign. According to New York Times Magazine, it was training pigeons in this same period to act as organic tracking systems (i.e. drones) in Vietnam.

einstürzende neubauten sound exactly the way you’d think just from hearing the name

It's not clear when it started but at some point people began claiming Alex Jones predicted 9/11. Back in 2023, an InfoWars employee even posted audio from March 2001 of Jones talking about remote controlling a 747 into the WTC. But Alex Jones lied—and I can prove it!

was skeptical. The clip is only 10 seconds long and doesn't refer to anything specific. The bigger problem? It aired two days after the pilot episode of X-Files spin-off the Lone Gunmen where something identical happens. x.com/RobertSkvarl...

Neither Jones nor Geiser have provided a longer clip, for context, so we can confirm what Jones was talking about. That's fine. I found the episode myself. Join me on my new Substack as I prove once and for all that Alex Jones is a liar. neitherconfirmnordeny.substack.com/p/alex-jones...

On December 6, 2023, an InfoWars employee posted audio he claimed was evidence of Jones predicting 9/11. In the clip, taken from a March 6, 2001 episode of The Alex Jones Show, Jones mentions a war games scenario where a plane will crash into the WTC. x.com/realchasegei...
