The State Department Is Set For A Massive Withdrawal Of Staff From The Cuban Embassy
The Daily Mail ^ | 09/28/17 | Ariel Zilber

The United States will remove most diplomatic staff from its embassy in Cuba as part of a major withdrawal of personnel following mysterious ‘sonic’ attacks, it was reported on Thursday.

The Trump administration decided to undertake preparations for a large-scale withdrawal after Washington did not come away convinced that the Cuban government was doing everything it could to protect American diplomats in Havana, CBS News reported.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson met this week with his Cuban counterpart, Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez at the State Department in Washington.

The meeting apparently did little to sway the administration from its original plan to call back most of its diplomatic staff after 21 reported incidents of diplomats and their families experiencing symptoms ranging from headaches, nausea, hearing loss, balance issues, and cognitive impairment.

The Cuban government apparently asked for the meeting between Tillerson and Rodriguez.

A statement released by the Cuban government about the meeting includes a denial that the attacks even took place.

We really don’t have technology that will pinpoint the source? We should announce that it will be hit with a hellfire if it doesn’t immediately cease.

I'd announce why, after the strike.

Well, we realize it was just an accident when our staff was hurt. We actually intended for this missile to wind up 75 miles east of Nassau. This was just an accident too. Hey, mistakes happen.

Swap'em out for the Deep State folks. Nobody would notice the difference.

when did Cuba get so sophisticated? If the damage is irreversible, imagine those it was tested on and where they are buried. Korea? Siberia?

Did Obama build the embassy? He is responsible.

Is there a theme here with the Obama administration?

Benghazi and now Cuba — the Left seem to happily put American embassy officials in harms way.

So, at what point does this become an act of war?

There is something about this story that doesn't make sense to me... and in one of the articles, it says that some have brain damage. So here is the question... if what is going on is so serious, why is anyone left behind at all? It would be silly to think they are immune... do they believe the cause of the problem has stopped? Or have they moved the remaining ones to a different building? Something doesn't make sense....

Cuba is a proxy for advanced Russian technology...IMHO...and remember, there have been demonstrations of similar technologies on American soil some time ago.

The brain white matter is glial cells or fat that acts as insulation between the neurons. Here is a T Wave chart showing absorption rates and reflection rates of fat tissue. This should explain what the Dr's are finding.

Tissue characterization using THz spectroscopy. A: Mean absorption coefficients of kidney, liver and abdominal fat; B: Mean refractive indices of all the tissue samples. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals.
