There are literally at least a dozen more likely explanations than microwave or sonic weaponry aimed at an embassy (or at embassy personnel).
Can you please list a dozen more likely explanations than microwave or sonic weaponry?
In no particular order,
- Completely known but suppressed causes, with the report pushing conspiracy theories for political reasons (compare to "Russian bots" now "observed" everywhere on the 'net)
- Completely known but suppressed causes to protect national security (compare to the 2001 antrax attacks, or CIA involvement in drug trafficking; anything illicit related to the actions of the embassy or embassy personnel)
- Alkaloid contamination of consumables (most common cause of mass psychosis like effects)
- Alkaloid contamination of consumables in a small number of individuals, with the high-stress environment causing psychological duplication of symptoms
- Stress-triggered (histamine-triggered) chemical contamination of consumables (slow release from substandard construction materials; compare to prevalence of problems with formaldehyde release from materials)
- Low-level chemical environmental contamination (herbicides etc.)
- Infrasound pollution from natural sources (insects etc), with higher-frequency components filtered out by the environment (building structures)
- Infrasound pollution from accidental human sources (diesel engines, traffic/manufacturing noise transmitted and amplified through concrete structures)
- Exposure to microwave radiation due to malfunctioning equipment
- Long-term exposure to strong magnetic fields due to malfunctioning equipment
- Repeated low-level bacterial infection in the inner ear
- Viral infection in the inner ear, brain, or intestines
The report cited discusses 1. Chemical exposure, 2.Infectious disease and 3. Psychological issues
You treat it as a scientific report, while it clearly is a political one: by a political committee, with the purpose of explaining why the embassy personnel was affected.
Even if there was scientific evidence proving US government culpability, such a report would never, ever admit the culpability. Outrageous claims are simply a political tool.
Note that the fact that this was an US embassy in Cuba is, to me, just a detail, and nothing significant. Feel free to change the countries, and my assessment still stands.
For example, let's consider an imaginary Finnish-Norwegian border incident, where fine refined uranium dust of Russian origin was exchanged in order to facilitate a false flag release of radionuclides by a Russian submarine in the Arctic to curb Russian expansionism in the Northern polar waters, but the container failing and causing an automatically detected radionuclide bloom. Instead of admitting that the incident was caused by sanctioned but secret and politically indefensible activity, the
cover story would most likely involve a claim about
Soviet Russian radionuclide smugglers; but if there was proof only Finnish and Norwegian personnel was present, then the cover story could be anything, even completely ridiculous, like say a cryptid with a radioactive fart, an invisible experimental nuclear-powered air/spacecraft, or even aliens.
This is how politicians work.If any kind of experimental weaponry is involved, there being exactly two countries on this planet having dabbled with experimental weaponry without having a scientific basis on their effects (starting at remote viewing), it is most likely that the embassy personnel were exposed to an US own experiment (i.e., leakage, or a badly run experiment). The only reason this made any news was that the embassy personnel leaked concerns about their health issues to news outlets, before they could be gagged by a court order.
I find it
extremely funny to see people here defend claims about experimental weaponry with zero scientific evidence that the claimed effect on humans even exists, while at the same time the same people get really frustrated in the 5G thread how easily people are misled with horrible rubbish claims.
