Microwave weapons?

<< < (8/17) > >>

Hi,

This is probably, if not certainly, fake news. In fact, it microwaves were a problem, then airport staff all over the world would report sickness. I mean, just look at those powerful radars! Microwaves can only cause thermal damage, but that would require a person to be closed inside a metal box with the emitter, just like it happens inside a microwave oven.

Kind regards, Samuel Lourenço

This doesn't appear to be what happened. Staff are complaining of symptoms at their residences, hotel rooms at night when they are sleeping. At least from what I read of the Canadian and some of the US victim reports. One would expect the embassy itself  is hardened and not an easy target. As for motive, if you can disrupt diplomatic staff "extracurricular" activities by causing them to experience brain fog and not have your efforts detected, then the risk threshold is low ( or would be perceived as low).

where are the victim reports?

coppercone2:
The phrase “sonic attack” caught on quickly after employees reported having heard a constant high-pitched, tinny hum emanating from certain corners of the embassy that would become inaudible if a person moved just a few feet away.

however

The victim complained of hearing extremely loud grinding insect-like noises, and a laser-like sound, but also believes other attacks took place silently overnight. This individual says that beyond attacks targeting homes and hotel rooms, one American embassy employee also experienced an attack inside the hulking U.S. compound.

The brain scans argue otherwise!

MRI scans of the U.S. personnel were largely normal, apart from three individuals with nonspecific abnormalities in their white matter—the axons that link nerve cells—that appear to be unrelated to the new syndrome, Smith says. The clear scans are not surprising, he says, because standard MRIs generally don’t reveal signs of a concussion. Rather, damage to the brain’s connections is picked up by a finer-grained MRI technique, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). The UPenn team is planning to conduct DTI scans of the diplomats. Any connectivity damage should still be visible, Smith says, because DTI scans can pick up such abnormalities months or even years after a concussion.
