I’ve been following the investigation into Havana Syndrome since 2016 when the illness first came to the attention of the U.S. government. At that time, the general consensus of opinion was that our diplomats in Havana, where the sickness first manifested itself, were victims of an “attack” by some sort of “sonic waves” by […]
This week’s TDS Meltdown focus was inspired by something that one person wrote, but really addresses an aspect of “reporting” on Donald Trump that is both ridiculous and insidious. The primary inspiration came from Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell, who wrote an Op-Ed titled, “This might be Trump’s most […]

Last month US Intelligence Agencies concluded that what the government now calls Anomalous Health Incidents were not the result of a secret energy weapon.

The mystery about what caused severe symptoms to appear in diplomats serving in several parts of the world has deepened. An extensive study by the National Institutes of Health has found no brain injuries in repeated scans of 80 people complaining of Havana Syndrome-related symptoms. The 80 diplomats were […]
