What you need to know about directed-energy attacks
Going back to 2017, POLITICO has been reporting on government agency officials, spies and diplomats affected by a series of mysterious illnesses. The victims say they suffered from tinnitus, blurry vision, loss of balance and headaches. First documented in employees at the U.S. Embassy in Cuba, symptoms related to these incidents have come to be known as "Havana Syndrome."
While experts have yet to conclusively identify the cause of these symptoms, some scientists believe they could be the result of microwave pulse weapons — a so-called "directed-energy attack" — by a foreign actor.
Some victims — including former CIA officer Marc Polymeropoulos, who was working in Moscow at the time of his incident — reported a sudden onset of dizziness, headaches and disorientation followed by long-term neurological issues.
Officials have been hesitant to label these mysterious incidents as "attacks." The White House refers to these reported illnesses in government officials as “unexplained health incidents.”
In this video, POLITICO reporter Lara Seligman and Polymeropoulos explain what you need to know about this invisible threat — including who might be behind these attacks and how the Biden administration and Congress are responding.

I will state I do remember the Lame Stream Media whores mentioning vertigo attacks on American embassy staff.... a few years ago to maybe a decade ago.
So, is this directed energy weapon real or is this another attempt for an election steal? It's sad we have to ask these questions...
they have had audio devices that can kill for quite a long time...
same for radio signals...
