Former Spy Alleges Cover-Up In Havana Syndrome Cases

The CIA has been accused of covering up foreign involvement in Havana Syndrome attacks, with a former officer, known as “Alice,” coming forward to share her story. Alice claims directed energy weapons caused the severe symptoms she experienced while serving abroad.

Alice recalled the onset of her symptoms while stationed in Africa. She reported hearing an unusual sound before experiencing sharp ear pain, vertigo, and cognitive difficulties. “My head was pulsing, and it hurt so badly,” she said.

Although over 300 cases of Havana Syndrome have been reported among U.S. personnel, the CIA has denied foreign nations’ involvement. A 2023 intelligence report concluded there was no evidence linking the attacks to adversaries like Russia or China.

The House Intelligence Committee released an interim report earlier this year contradicting the CIA’s findings. The report suggested that foreign adversaries are “increasingly likely” responsible for some of the incidents. Defense officials have also supported this view, acknowledging victims’ experiences as legitimate.

Alice criticized the CIA for ignoring victims and attempting to discredit them. She accused the agency of making victims feel isolated and dismissed, saying, “They want us to question our own injuries.”

Despite the Defense Department’s acknowledgment of her injuries, Alice has struggled to access benefits and medical treatment, describing the process as “exhausting.”
