U.S. embassy workers in Cuba found to have brain abnormalities

"U.S. embassy workers in Cuba found to have brain abnormalities"

Brain abnormalities have been found in the U.S. diplomats who were victims of suspected attacks at the U.S. Embassy in Cuba, according to a new report.

Doctors discovered that white matter in the brains of Embassy workers had “developed changes,” The Associated Press reported. White matter allows different areas of the brain to communicate.

At least 24 U.S. Embassy officials in Cuba had reported hearing loud, grating noises before experiencing ear issues, hearing loss, dizziness, headache, fatigue, cognitive issues and difficulty sleeping.

Some victims knew immediately that the attack was affecting their bodies, while some developed physical symptoms within 24 hours.

Other Americans who were not working but were traveling in Cuba had also reported experiencing weird symptoms similar to those that the U.S. officials reported, the State Department said.

While investigators had initially suspected what personnel were expecting as “sonic attacks,” officials are now avoiding that term.

That corrupt form of communism that occurred in Cuba even to this date is not what the left-wing really wants.

Even so, I am overall a centrist so I'm not offended by this and I would agree, almost the entirety of pure communism advocates are of very strange brain chemistry.

It might be the same fuck that makes you think you're on the left.

Hello bront:

So, you're just finding out about it?? DUDE!!

The question is WHY can't our superior technology tell WHAT it is, WHO'S doing it, and from WHERE???

Oh, oh... Wait a minute.. Are you ASSUMING it's Castro because it's happening IN Cuba??? DUDE!!

Look.. I have my own theory.. I think it's the Russians sending coded messages to Trump..

The chance of a randomly selected USAian having brain abnormalities are quite high anyway. I don't think we can jump to any conclusions here.

It's too early to say what's going on. It's fascinating - we're getting into uncharted territory in physics (sound not behaving like we understand it should) and medicine (the effects on the white matter of the brain) and don't really understand what's happening. I wouldn't rule attacks out, but simply making assumptions when you don't understand, is poor science, at best.
