US And Canadian Diplomats The Victims Of A Purported "Sonic Attack" In Havana, Cuba
"The Cuban Government Said that it has never allowed the island to be used for actions against diplomats and was willing to cooperate to clarify the facts" |
In what Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has referred to as "health attacks", at least 6 US and Canadian diplomats (5 from the US) have been the victims of a nominal "sonic attack", as it has been called by most sources at this point. Diplomats suffered from headaches, nausea, hearing loss, and dizziness, with one report coming back of "a blood disorder". The same New York Times Article reports that these symptoms (particularly hearing loss) began in the fall of 2016.

Although the Cuban government has issued a statement expressing willingness to cooperate with ongoing investigations, and a message of reassurance that the Cuban Government was not responsible for the attack, cable news reports with raised 'brow that "Cuba denies any involvement". BBC hosted their version of the headline likewise, casting rhetorical and hypothetical doubt over the situation. A healthy dose of skepticism, and questioning the information fed to us is always a good thing. Try a source affiliated with the person or place involved, and realize the US "media industrial complex" of 5 parent corporations feed us information in such a way as to affect the way in which we see current affairs.
At this point, those suffering from symptoms have been flown to the Miami University treatment center, and authorities are either amidst silent investigation (no further stories on the matter have been published for almost 48 hours at the time of this article), or concealing the cause of the incident.

They wanted you to feel this way...
But they forgot they still have you fear-mongered from the last "Red Scare"...
