Havana Syndrome victims react to new analysis that it could be caused by a foreign actor

Some U.S. intelligence agencies are now suggesting that a foreign entity may be linked to the mysterious brain injuries known as the “Havana Syndrome” experienced by American diplomats and government personnel abroad. While the general consensus in the intelligence community remains that it is highly unlikely for the syndrome to be intentionally caused by a foreign party, recent reports indicate that two out of seven U.S. intelligence agencies are open to the possibility that a foreign adversary could have created a weapon capable of inflicting such brain injuries.

Adam, a former government worker whose real name is being kept confidential by Fox News, is believed to be the first person affected by the Havana Syndrome, having been targeted in December 2016 during his time in Havana. He was subjected to multiple attacks that resulted in symptoms like dizziness, ringing in the ears, and cognitive difficulties due to the pressure exerted on his brain.

Adam and other victims have been urging the U.S. government to identify the source behind these incidents. With the recent acknowledgment from two U.S. intelligence agencies that a foreign adversary, possibly Russia, could possess a weapon capable of causing the neurological damage observed in individuals affected by Havana Syndrome, Adam is beginning to feel optimistic about the prospects of uncovering the truth.

“This has been an eight-year fight. I don’t know if I would say I feel vindicated yet. We will get there. The truth will come out. And when that’s fully exposed, I think that’s when I will say that I’m vindicated… I’m hoping the new administration can pay that debt and we can hold those responsible that have covered this up and partaken in some egregious behavior, frankly, because we all deserve better. The American people deserve better than to be lied to like this,” Adam told Fox News.

“No one expected the CIA to change their assessment. They stopped their investigation basically three years ago,” Adam alleged.

Attorney Mark Zaid who represents some of the victims said the new assessment, “disgracefully continues to hide the truth behind a cloak of secrecy. While the sought-after headline is that it is “very unlikely” a foreign adversary is responsible for AHI attacks, that conclusion has to be placed into context as it no doubt creates confusion to the general public as to what it means.” 

 The Republican-led CIA Subcommittee Chairman Rick Crawford (R-Ark.) released an interim report on the committee’s separate investigation into Havana Syndrome. The report concluded that it is “increasingly likely” that a foreign adversary is responsible for “some portion” of the incidents.

The subcommittee accused the intelligence community of withholding valuable information from them in the interim report.

“The IC’s inconsistent approach has had detrimental effects on IC personnel, trust in the IC by policymakers, the understanding of the American public, and perceptions of the IC by both foreign allies and adversaries,” the report said.

Crawford vowed to work with the incoming Trump administration to get answers for affected federal employees and the public.

Adam hopes the Trump administration will keep pressing for answers on Havana Syndrome and what caused hundreds of workers brain injuries.  

“Now there is also new information that’s in play, and it’s so irrefutable that even they can’t stand by and watch this coverup continue… we’re hoping that we’re going to have a more amenable administration that cares about its workforce and cares about the truth,” Adam said.
