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...

I guess you did not watch the really scary 60 Minutes broadcast last night. It documented a number of people in the upper levels of our government who were affected by similar symptoms who were involved with Russia matters. In the case of the women with severe symptoms, her ears were later examined in detail and significant structural damage was discovered. THey are already well known for poisoning people with radioactive and other unusual toxic substances. And I thought women were the main users of poison.

Is this why Joe Biden walks around with one thumb in his nose and the other one up his ass? Just asking for a friend.

Putin is a murderous thug, but in the present political environment, I’m skeptical about blaming this on them. It’s “evil Russia propaganda all the time, saintly Ukraine, and don’t touch China”, now. The alphabets and their lackey media are all in on it. I believe very little of what they say.

The main aspect of this story is the sorry sorry state of U.S. intelligence, which only just one month ago reported that “Havana syndrome not caused by a foreign adversary”.

If we were talking about weapons we’d say they are the gang that can’t shoot straight.

The money shot for me was, It also found "no credible evidence" that any American foe possessed "a weapon or collection device," including an emitter of electromagnetic energy pulses, that could cause the symptoms.

They knew of no device that could theoretically do what was alleged.

And also no surprise that the pro-Kremlin crowd around here are reacting as they usually do.

You should know me by now.   I am one of those that think Zelenskyy is the worst flim-flam man the world has ever seen, but I was the first on this thread to reveal that The Russians have used microwaves for espionage since the end of WWII.

I don't lie or even exaggerate like most Zeepers do.
