Russian intelligence hit squad behind Havana Syndrome brain injuries of US personnel: report
Newsweek ^ | April 1, 2024 | Snejana Farberov

Posted on 04/01/2024 10:36:40 AM PDT by canuck_conservative

Members of Russian military intelligence unit 29155, who allegedly have access to microwave or ultrasound weapons, had been placed at the scene of reported attacks that resulted in US personnel suffering health problems, according to a year-long investigation by the Latvia-based Insider in collaboration with CBS’s “60 Minutes” and Germany’s Der Spiegel.

Christo Grozev, the head of investigations with The Insider, told “60 Minutes” that he uncovered accounting records that show a 29155 officer received a bonus for work related to the development of “non-lethal acoustic weapons.”

Unit 29155 has reportedly operated around the world since 2008, and is suspected of carrying out acts of sabotage aimed at destabilizing Western European governments and high-profile assassination attempts targeting the Kremlin’s enemies.

The top-secret squad is said to be headquartered in suburban Moscow and led by Major General Andrei Averyanov, according to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.

Operatives have been linked to the attempted poisoning with the nerve agent “Novichok” of former Russian military intelligence officer Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in England in 2018.

The Insider’s investigation allegedly uncovered evidence of Unit 29155’s presence in Tbilisi, Georgia, in the fall of 2021, when multiple American officials and their family members reported suffering unexplained health issues.

The wife of a Justice Department staffer working in Tbilisi told “60 Minutes” she was in her laundry room when she was overwhelmed by a sound that she believed came from the window.

The woman, who asked not to be named, came down with a devastating headache and projectile vomited.

When she later looked at the security footage, she said she spotted an unfamiliar car outside. Nearby was a man she did not know...

"While the caller has not been identified, sources have told the CBS program that the investigation had zeroed in on Russian national Albert Averyanov, who is said to be the son of Unit 29155’s commander — and whose name appeared on travel manifests and call logs alongside known members of the secretive intelligence squad.

When the wife of the DOJ official sickened by the piercing sound in Tbilisi was shown a photo of Averyanov, she said it “absolutely” looked like the man she saw outside her home that day in October 2021."

Russians up to their old dirty tricks ... what a surprise ...

I was agnostic about this “Havana Syndrome” thing, but since you are pushing it now, coincidentally, right along with the MSM, its clearly all Bullsh**.

The US government supposedly determined this was bogus some time ago. Seems the story is only being resurrected now to be used as anti-Russian propaganda.

Mass hysteria. One of the wives actually recorded the sound of the weapon. (Hint, you cannot make an audio recording of microwaves or ultrasound)

And after the HAVANA act, victims of the death beam get medical retirement and a 187,000 lump sum. And suddenly half of the CIA/State female hypochondriacs were victims.

Havana syndrome was disproven years ago by competent engineering firms.

You're right -- FROM YOU AND YOUR FELLOW ZEEPERS!

This is where your lies come to die:

'Havana syndrome' not caused by foreign adversary, U.S. intel finds

The agencies even considered the possibility that extraterrestrials were responsible, but ruled that out, a U.S. intelligence official told reporters in a briefing. "Most IC (intelligence community) agencies have concluded that it is 'very unlikely" a foreign adversary is responsible," the assessment said.

‘Havana syndrome’ not caused by energy weapon or foreign adversary, intelligence review finds (Flashback)

Washington Post ^ | March 1, 2023 | By Shane Harris and John Hudson
Posted on 4/1/2024, 11:00:00 AM by Kazan

The mysterious ailment known as “Havana syndrome” did not result from the actions of a foreign adversary, according to an intelligence report that shatters a long-disputed theory that hundreds of U.S. personnel were targeted and sickened by a clandestine enemy wielding energy waves as a weapon.

I was quoting US intelligence from just last year. Now, when more money for Ukraine is up for discussing, the same intelligence agencies are contradicting themselves.

Nothing has changed in the last 13 months except the agenda of the Biden regime.

You're a joke. Almost everything you post here is a lie.

It’s amazing they weren’t able to tell us who was causing, until there was a war with Russia and it turns out that Russia was causing it.

Just amazing.
