A just-released report by US lawmakers accuses US intelligence agencies of botching their investigation into the illnesses that affected hundreds of American diplomats and intelligence officers — a charge US intelligence officials deny
A series of brain injuries and other serious health ailments that struck hundreds of U.S. diplomats and intelligence officials was almost certainly the work of a U.S. adversary, according to a new report by lawmakers, who accuse U.S. intelligence agencies of trying to hide the truth.
Lmao right, US intelligence agencies are trying to hide the truth, when "the truth" would allow them to scaremonger about foreign adversaries. Makes perfect sense.
It's a good thing we can rely on the totally neutral Voice of America to totally not just be a propaganda rag repeating made up stories that even much of the intelligence community has given up on trying to push.
It's a classic tactic, you have the more "reputable" outlets push the propaganda piece at first, then when the story can't hold up anymore, they quietly drop it, while a more fringe outlet picks it up for the people who still buy in, demanding to know why the mainstream dropped it since it's definitely true and totally real. Somehow, you get people arriving at these absurd conclusions that the government is covering up on behalf of the very foreign enemies they're trying to rile people up against! It's absolutely insane.
But actually, you know what, sure. Cuba has developed a super science weapon that can give people headaches and defies our understanding of physics. How are they so far beyond our technological capabilities, despite the US pouring an obscene amount of money into the military? Clearly, this demonstrates the superiority of the Cuban system. In light of such a devastating victory for socialism, it's clear that we need to abandon everything we're doing and follow their lead.
I would also add that Havana Syndrome is far more widespread than anybody realizes, they're actually targeting our low wage workers en masse - if you go up to anybody working in an Amazon warehouse and tell them that they'll get paid time off and recompense if they report the symptoms of Havana Syndrome, I'm confident that you'll discover that the vast majority of them are suffering from it as we speak.
Ooh! Looks like we can add Havana Syndrome to the list of things you're not allowed to question on .world. Is there anything the US government says that we're allowed to doubt?
Pretty every other comment here is, more or less, agreeing with you that the IC consensus was right, it probably wasn’t a foreign adversary, congress doesn’t know what it’s talking about, and the evidence is that this report and this story is a bunch of crap.
Yours was the only comment that was shouty, condescending, and insulting, in addition to saying that the report is wrong. You were not censored for your content.
"Renewed concerns" seems to mean "House Republicans stirring up anti-russian sentiment" in this case.
VOA is strictly aligned with American interests, enough that you might call it propaganda, but at least they report the facts. Actually reading the article, it tells you that this report is garbage.
