summarize key points

there's a sound that the CIA doesn't want you to know exists we've obtained 
recently Declassified whistleblower documents that alleg that the CIA has been lying to Congress and the president 
of the United States to hide the sound the allegations claim that the CIA 
suppressed Witnesses and created a misinformation campaign against the US public the whole intelligence community 
of the United States has publicly denied this ever happening if you hear the sound it'll change the way your brain 
works it changes your life it turns it upside down since 2014 there have been 
over 1,500 reported cases of the sound the sound has claimed victims on every 
continent besides Antarctica the FBI the dod and the CIA have dedicated millions 
of dollars in countless investigations to try to figure out where this sound is coming from and supposedly nobody knows 
what you all are saying is there's a government cover up the public statements that the executive branch is 
making is inconsistent with the classified record many months ago I decided to look into it and what I found 
was a cryptic maze a story that the media got wrong and then right and then 
wrong over and over again this is a story about government coverups 
whistleblowers top secret documents Cold War era technology can you give us some details about how high this this goes in 
our government I've been kneed deep in countless academic articles clinical 
studies and official press briefings I talked to the experts advisers for DARPA the dod and The Joint Chiefs of Staff I 
had been contacted by some colleagues from the Department of State we have a set of cases we'd like to take a look at 
this story was swept under the rug and the case was closed too early this is the story of Havana syndrome the Biden 
Administration is under pressure from Congress to investigate a growing number of mysterious attacks it's called Havana 
syndrome hav syndrome Havana syndrome the bizarre ill has reported over the years but no clear source of it all 
these debilitating medical ailments the overwhelming majority of evidence is hidden behind classified walls I have to 
be careful what I say here so let me say this I know where the bodies are buried I know the cabinets to look in the 
questions to ask and the people to subpoena give me 20 minutes in a skiff and I'll convince all of 
you all right mysterious sound where do I 
[Music] start in the fall of 2016 workers at the 
US Embassy in Havana started sending reports up the chain of command some of them were at home some of them were at a 
hotel room it happened during the day and it happened during the night but all of them heard a sound an intense 
high-pitched focused noise coming from a specific direction if they walk away 
they don't hear it but if they walk back they do here's here's what the sound does pressure first in the head and then 
in the body it sharpens becoming unbearable their Vision becomes blurry the world starts spinning and their 
balance falters lights starting to hurt and then 
they collapse they wake up and go back to normal life though the sound is gone 
their symptoms start to get worse fatigue chronic headaches vision problems and balance issues they can't 
concentrate they can't work they have hard time sleeping their memory isn't the same both long and short term it's 
all jumbled time itself becomes [Music] 
confusing what the CIA FBI and state department 
all agree to keep the incidents in Havana highly confidential internally it causes a mess a big one a geopolitical 
tension level of mess the US government removes a large amount 
of staff from the Cuban Embassy then expels some Cuban diplomats from DC 
after they issue travel restrictions it's a big deal but at this point it's 
all happening behind closed doors the big question of course is what is this 
the state department reaches out to the world's leading experts who secretly spend months reviewing the victim's 
Medical Data brain Rin scans environmental factors living quarters everything they were told very 
specifically look for a cause but don't try to figure out who's behind 
it 9 months after the sound claimed its first victims us intelligence agencies 
are still keeping all of this from the public until August 2017 the story 
breaks to the masses reads like a cold war spy no there's new concerns about 
the health and safety of us diplomats and government workers in Havana Anonymous us officials leaked to the 
Associated Press the sound comes from an advanced device that operated outside 
the range of audible sound sending the state department scrambling 2016 you 
don't know what this incident is the US government is investigating this I'm just I'm not going to get into it we don't have any definitive answers about 
the source or the cause of what we consider to be incidents what I thought it was a device wasn't it confirmed some 
some one's not telling the truth either the anonymous source or the state department but these do not match up us 
doctors who evaluated American and Canadian diplomats working in Nana diagnos them with conditions as serious 
as mild traumatic brain injury and likely damage to their central nervous system more sources come forward and the 
contradictions grow have you anything further to suggest brain damage I can't confirm any of that can you say whether 
or not the attacks are ongoing still a source familiar with the incident says more attacks affecting US Embassy 
workers on the island continue I was told that the that the incidents uh are 
not ongoing at this point this is so much more dangerous than what they're telling 
us behind closed doors intelligence agencies learn that whatever is causing this has claimed another victim in China 
the sound its effects and its mystery has escaped Cuba whatever it 
is it's spreading absolutely [ __ ] no one knows what's 
going on the state Department's being all hush hush while medical records confirm that the victims have 
concussion-like symptoms there's objective evidence of brain injuries and 
damage to their central nervous system insiders are saying that there's some Secret Sound weapon which I'm 
sorry sound weapon am MIT acoustic experts come forward and they say that 
an acoustic device couldn't have done this if you've heard of Havana syndrome this is likely where you stopped paying 
attention it got political and cryptic really really cryptic well 
you're going to see what's happening in Cuba but some bad they did some bad things in with no leading theory on the table 
politicians raced to control the narrative I do believe Cuba is responsible I do believe that and it's a 
very unusual attack as you know before any of this happened Trump had campaigned rolling back ties with Cuba 
it's part of that whole xenophobia thing he's got going on and if you're only reading the headlines this looks like a 
fake story a manufactured excuse for Trump to fulfill his promise roughly 35 
diplomats reported the mysterious injury starting in late 2016 Maring us diplomatic relations with Cuba for much of the Trump Administration here there 
you go can't do diplomacy with them when we do it they're just giving us heart attack guns with a distracted public 
what happens next is at best a well-intentioned scramble to find an answer but at worst a massive scale 
coverup by us intelligence agencies but one thing is for sure if this is a 
coverup this is how they did [Music] 
it late 2017 a medical sociologist suggests a theory the sound isn't real 
it's Mass hysteria also known as a mass psychogenic illness these weren't attacks it's the placebo effect in 
reverse the theory gains some traction until 2018 when researchers at the University of Pennsylvania published 
their findings these victims have all the signs of a concussion but never had a head injury the immaculate concussion 
this baffles the scientific community so they start calling Havana syndrome anomalous Health incidents or ahis with 
Hands-On data from Advanced Imaging techniques they're able to rule out Mass psychogenic illness environmental 
factors and pre-existing conditions the study's lead author had a new suspect 
microwaves then a report from the nationaly of science the most plausible 
cause is directed pulsed radio frequency energy I don't know what a microwave 
weapon is but at this point the number of victims has jumped to over a thousand 
globally and in January of 2022 the CIA issues a report not microwaves but 
environmental causes undiagnosed medical conditions and 
[Music] stress 
stress two dozen Cases left unexplained 11 days later a report 
commissioned by the intelligence Community is released and the report directly contradicts the CIA this all 
comes to a head in March of 2023 when the intelligence Community releases the 
report of all reports a multi-year investigation and the final answer to 
the Havana syndrome mystery and what they found was 
nothing environmental causes undiagnosed medical conditions and stress to the 
masses the story ended here Havana syndrome isn't real um are either of you 
aware of any individuals who have Ahi symptoms have passed away from their 
ailments I do I do do we do we know how many that 
you're aware of we need to discuss that somewhere else Mr chairman are we going to be able to move into a classified 
setting at some point or at another time I I think I think that possibility will exist at at a later time thank you Mr 
chairman the details that the intelligence Community gave seemed to have referenced a study that they were involved in at the National Institute of 
Health and on September 1st of 2024 the month that I'm filming in right now it 
was reported that the NIH cancels Havana syndrome study citing unethical coercion 
of participants the NIH didn't say who it was the victim said it was the 
CIA and the CIA declined to comment having had authorized access to 
classified information on this topic it is my view that the executive branch particularly at the behest of and 
manipulation by officials within CIA is not truthfully reporting what it knows 
but during the time these studies were taking place Congress passed a bill The Havana act it provides health benefits 
and compensation to victims of the sound and the Secret Service forced kamla Harris to delay her trip to Vietnam 
hours long delay of Vice President kamla Harris's flight to Vietnam as the US 
Embassy dealt with two new cases of that mystery illness known as Havana syndrome a possible case of Havana syndrome hit 
the US mission in Vietnam keeping Harris from Hanoi for several hours this was very unusual sure sounds like a lot for 
a sound that the CIA and its sister intelligence agencies all agree is in 
their head on the issue of the um the health incidents and we call them 
anomalous um I will tell you that we're looking into it and um I'm not able to share much 
more at this time I'm <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON> former CIA officer at Jerry ranan asks 
aren't all diplomats spies by definition some spies can be considered to be 
diplomats for cover purposes it turns out most of the victims work under the 
Pentagon or for an intelligence 
agency microwaves and other radio frequencies are known to affect the human body I'm hearing a microwave pulse 
like a click pulses of microwave energy are being generated and fired at him from behind the energy of the absorbed 
microwaves causes brain tissue to very slightly heat up and expand causing a 
pressure wave to be picked up by the hearing mechanism in the inner ear during the Cold War beamed microwaves 
were detected at the US Embassy in Moscow the beams were used to transmit an audio signal from a covert listening 
device hidden in the Great Seal of the US Embassy the United States was aware that this was happening a secret 
telegram from Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to the Embassy in Moscow says 
employees need need not have any concern for their health and that confidentiality is essential at this 
point in order to prevent press speculation then an ambassador came down with mysterious symptoms Secretary of 
State Henry Kissinger linked the illness of the ambassador to the microwaves admitting we are trying to keep the 
thing [Music] quiet look at this poll from 2023 it 
concluded that 55% of Americans have never even heard of Havana syndrome and 33% have heard 
about it but only a little I really don't blame them with today's news landscape big media conglomerates have a 
huge influence over what stories get prioritized and which ones barely make it to your feed that's why I use a tool 
called Ground news it's an app and a website that Aggregates news sources from around the globe giving you a 
comprehensive view of how different sources report the same story with ground news you don't just get the news 
you get the context they break down each source's political bias credibility and ownership so you can see where the 
information is coming from and how it's being shaped they're also graciously sponsoring this part of today's video 
look at this the Intel community's final report on Havana syndrome was covered by more than 
183 Outlets if you scroll down you can compare headlines from sources on the left the right and in the center this 
one mentions aliens this one says that it's unlikely whereas this one has a 
definitive they say it's not my absolute favorite feature is this little button 
up here their blind spot page highlights stories that are being underreported or completely ignored by either side of the 
political Spectrum their blind spot page shows me stories that I would otherwise be completely missing out on so sweet if

news/ chule or you can scan the QR code thank you to our friends at Ground news for sponsoring this portion of today's 
video we really appreciate it back to the story good evening from Washington and Merry Christmas and while much of 
the world was distracted today by the business of celebrating Christmas Mikel glov signed himself and the Soviet Union 
out of business without Ruffles or flourishes the Russian flag has replaced the hammer and sickle over the Kremlin 
the technological race between the US and the USSR is one of the most famous features of the Cold War after the fall 
of the Soviet Union many of the best scientists on both sides teamed up to innovate technology together but in a 
small corner of that collaboration Americans and Russians teamed up to innovate an upand cominging technology 
called pulsed power both militaries saw the promise of pulsed power a weapon 
that doesn't shoot bullets but energy but when Putin Rose to power that collaboration slowed down and eventually 
stopped altogether today this technology is used in different ways the elrad or sound Cannon shoots sound to break up 
protests Thor shoots microwaves to take drones out of the sky but one of these 
weapons lives in the Horror Hall of Fame right next to MK Ultra it's called Medusa if used on a human would have a 
temporary incapacitation effect caused by a strong sound ation in the human 
head Medusa did this by shooting pulsed microwave radiation it was made for 
crowd control but it was discontinued in 2008 because it may have been shown to permanently damage brain tissue 
understanding The Source Duty remains a a real challenge CIA analyzed what device could exist that could possibly 
recreate some of these symptoms they also had a review or a scrub of all intelligence current and former of any 
foreign entity talking about or deploying any of this kind of technology and it came up 
[Music] empty the tech exists the weapon exists 
both Americans and Russians know how to build it and many of the victims are intelligence 
assets oh my God this crosses a real conspiracy theorist threshold that I am 
just not used to at all what if it is all made up what if the CIA and its 
sister agencies all right I got to take another look at this final intelligence Community 
report whoa what Intel community's Havana syndrome report and its flawed 
assumptions I believe that the conclusions offered in this report are inconsistent with over 5 years of 
evidence the report is inconsistent with the scientific technological and medical 
evidence okay directed energy another conspiracy theorist game recogniz his 
game who wrote this James gordano who is this 
guy Dr James gordano I'm the pelo Center professor in the Departments of Neurology and biochemistry at Georgetown 
University Medical Center where I'm also a chief of the neuroethics studies program and chair of the subprogram of 
military medical ethics I also serve as the chief executive officer and executive director of The Institute for 
biod defense studies which is a nationally funded think tank in the Washington DC Metro area that's devoted 
to looking at Key areas of biod defense and biocurity on the war world stage that's not a conspiracy 
theorist would you mind telling me about when you first learned about Havana syndrome yeah yeah so this was back in 
late 2016 I had been contacted by some colleagues from the Department of State Dr Gano was one of the first people that 
the state department reached out to to crack the code this is when everything was still top secret almost a whole year 
before the story was leaked to the Press he also had access to the hard data not 
only the data of these individuals in their clinical case and their reports the objective information certain 
subjective findings as well but a host of environmental ecological architectural circumstantial information 
as well as the metadata of these individuals in terms of their prior medical history that could have been contributory if there's anyone to listen 
to It's him and according to what he saw the CIA and other intelligence agencies 
got this wrong you have individuals who had evidence objective evidence that something happened to them 
neurologically then the question becomes what is it that could do this there was nothing in these individuals medical 
records that would be indicative of a PRI injury insult or disease there was no indication they had anything ongoing 
certainly examined the possibility of could this be something psychogenic sociogenic but it didn't fit the pattern 
so where do you end up I mean this is a long intense study the basis of the 
conclusory evidence in 2017 and 18 with these individuals are exposed to some form of energy at that time it was 
thought most likely to be some form of acoustic energy we considered that there may be other forms of energy that these 
individuals may have been exposed to along the electromagnetic spectrum microwaves was certainly among 
them however remember that state department leak the first time that the public public found out that any of this 
was going on the conclusion was an acoustic device but microwaves were also a main culprit they ruled out microwaves 
because the technology wasn't possible it was my understanding at the time that the overall technological Readiness 
level of scalable microwaves it would be able to retain microwave energy and yet 
be portable was not yet at that point that rendered it operationalizable 
interestingly what we know is that much of the development leading to these types of pulsatile microwaves was 
actually initially conducted in the former Soviet Union but then has been reinitiated and essentially reinitiated 
a fairly robust Pace in contemporary Russia so to say that these devices do 
not exist which is what we thought at the time or did not exist at that level that would allow their viability in use 
we were wrong what a series of attacks with microwave weapon is the latest theory of what could have sickened or distressed roughly two dozen people 
associated with the US Embassy in Cuba over the past few years like the fact that there's a silent radio frequency 
that can you know impact you in this way is silly as [ __ ] uh I see where you're coming from 
for sure but is it I was provided an unclassified 
memorandum by NSA in October 2014 two years before Havana that revealed the 
existence of intelligence information concerning a foreign adversary quote with a high-powered microwave system 
weapon that may have the ability to weaken intimidate or kill an enemy over time and without leaving evidence the 
2012 intelligence information indicated that this weapon is designed to bathe a targets living quarters and microwaves 
causing numerous physical effects including a damaged nervous 
system the Cold War happened at a time when Humanity was ready for a global 
economy whoever won would be able to rig the system the fight over ideologies was 
really the fight for what superpower would be able to control moderate and make the rules for the new 
interconnected system he established the ultimate aim of Communism as World 
Revolution the Americans were able to write the rules but there's one thing I know about rules where there's rules 
there's a game you either win or you 
lose the countries and the economies that matter most to the G game that the superpowers are playing are still in the 
Cold War Cuba is one of those places allied with the Russians and for a variety of other issues the United 
States put Cuba on a blacklist in 1961 in 2009 Obama said that he would lift 
the Embargo if Cuba underwent political change the invite was sent out join our 
side and in 2015 today I can announce that the United States has agreed to 
formally reestablish diplomatic Rel relations with the Republic of Cuba and reopen embassies in our respective 
countries the opening of the embassy in Havana was a recent one and it was also 
a huge middle finger to Russia Today the superpowers don't fight each other with their militaries the advancement of 
nuclear weapons scares all sides so instead they fight on an invisible and 
secret Battleground called The gry Zone here the world powers spy on each other and they fight with new and 
unconventional technology [Music] 
oh of South Carolina's Coast the so-called China spy balloon shot from 
the sky a fourth leak in the nordstream pipelines in the Baltic Sea the virus is called stuck net but there's rules to 
the gry zone to avoid escalation you need to hide everything from the public 
China has expressed its strong dissatisfaction and opposition holy they 
actually did it they blew her up warning it could take further action when you do strike your enemy do it with precision 
and leave no trace this is almost impossible to figure out this is one of 
the most sophisticated pieces of malware they've ever seen moving through the system it hides its tracks the article 
dawn of the ebom outlines the perfect weapon for the gray Zone it would strike 
with Precision in an instant and leave behind no trace of where it came from in fact it almost certainly is already here 
in the form of high power microwave 
weapons it's June 16th 2020 a police officer in Key West Florida flashes its 
lights at a speeding white Mustang the white Mustang takes off pull over pull 
over the officer doesn't know it but inside that Mustang is the missing puzzle piece to a decade long 
International conspiracy Friday Night Live everybody Ariana Green bat of Ariana's Restaurant and so behind the 
wheel and talking on the phone is Michelin star Chef Vitali kovalev as the speedometer climbs to 110 
M hour Florida Highway Patrol and US border patrol join the pursuit and 15 M 
down the road deputies throw spike [Music] 
[Music] strips in his bag police found a device that can erase a car's GPS data they 
also found various notes with bank account numbers and the amount of money in them City Bank discover savings 
75,000 why did you run let me be honest with me you didn't know why you ran I don't know Vitali kovalev would go on to 
spend 80 hours in intense FBI interrogation and soon after that FBI 
agent heard a sound while the authorities were going 
through Vitali kovalev's bag a camera in the cop car caught something that I can't stop thinking 
about for nearly 45 minutes kovalev has a conversation with himself he takes 
conversational pauses almost as if he's waiting on somebody to respond speaking in both English and Russian he says yes 
because this one he drove here too because it's necessary to needs 20 mistakes are unknown 16 is a [ __ ] lot 
yes five he could hold five if weaker four four an agreement is an agreement 
an agreement is an agreement an agreement is an agreement I didn't kill anyone I never I never killed I never no 
here I'll be very sad then I'll go to Russia his glasses Loosely hanging over 
his mouth fall to the floor and in that moment the conversation 
stops I did some digging and I was able to find Vitali kovalev's 
Instagram he really doesn't seem to be a glasses 
guy Vitali kovalev his car chase and the subsequent anomalous Health incident 
that happened to his FBI interrogator was uncovered by worldclass journalists 
at 60 Minutes Dar Spiegel and The Insider the injured include White House staff CIA officers FBI agents Military 
Officers and their families Crystal grev led the investigation for The Insider he's known for uncovering some of the 
biggest mysteries in geopolitics like who poisoned Putin's opponent Alexi 
navali for years he's been tracking down a top secret Russian hit squad called 
Gru unit 29155 he watches their movements and tracks their phone records we asked him 
to trace Vitali kovalev he studied in a Military Institute he studed Radio 
Electronics with a particular focus on use within the military of U of micro 
Electronics he had all the technology knowhow that would be required for somebody to be assisting an operation 
that requires high technology and then all of a sudden after working for two years in a Military Institute he up and 
decides to become a chef they were able to confirm that at 
least one member of the gru unit was present at the Havana syndrome attack in 
2014 in Germany in 2016 in China and in 2021 in Georgia a Us official their 
spouse and child were hit we have also learned of a phone call that was 
intercepted nearby a man says in Russian is it supposed to have blinking green 
lights and should I leave it on all 
night the totality of the evidence uncovered by our team has proven that Russia has the motive the means and the 
opportunity to have developed and used non-lethal acoustic or electromagnetic wave of weapons what was the 
government's response CIA doubled down that there is nothing to see and that it knew of and had already ruled out the 
same evidence that is a blatant falsehood that has infuriated many serving members of the intelligence 
Community because so much of the evidence to the contrary is available to them in reports briefings and cable 
traffic of course this evidence is classified since 2010 the number of counterintelligence incidents began to 
rise and so did Russian grey Zone activities Nikolai pip the Secretary of 
Russia's Security Council wrote in September 2023 and I quote in recent years hundreds of employees of foreign 
intelligence Services involved in organizing intelligence and subversive activities against our country have been 
neutralized this isn't just anyone his name is Lieutenant Gregory Ed green and 
he was a defense intelligence agency officer who is in charge of leading the investigation into Havana syndrome for 
the Pentagon I have to be careful what I say here so let me say this I know where the bodies are buried I know the 
cabinets to look in the questions to ask and the people to subpena give me 20 minutes in a skiff and I'll convince all 
of you it had gotten to a point where I I quite literally wasn't functioning as 
a person Stith who now uses hearing aids and takes up to 20 pills a day faces an 
uncertain future I mean I've lost everything my daughter 
who's very athletic went for a run she lost all of her right side eyesight 
there's nothing in the world that's worse than being a victim that everybody 
doubts this isn't some Red Scare esque Russia bad story all superpowers 
including the United States fight in the gry zone 
[Music] whether or not Havana syndrome is a peak 
behind the curtain into the gray Zone doesn't really matter the CIA allegedly 
lied to the public they lied to Congress and they lied to the president and if that's true they did it to publicly 
Gaslight and hide the injuries of many Americans i' very very least recognize 
something happened to these individuals and perhaps others ongoing discussion if not debate 
controversy as to who done it and what it is that they done should not be a factor that impedes these individuals 
from receiving the care they need cuz something's wrong with them they're in The Hurt Locker I believe that we have 
enough evidence to wipe the record clean and I think we have an obligation to look at Havana syndrome with fresh eyes 
I mean these were comprehensive neurovestibular examinations the aberration of which could not be faked so something happened 
to these individuals something physical happened to these individuals we need to conduct new investigations with 
appropriate oversight the news media missed the story on that CIA assessment they said they looked at more than a 
thousand cases and they concluded the vast majority could be explained otherwise but there are at least two 
dozen cases that even the CIA acknowledges they can't explain away we need to erase that two dozen number and 
revisit the thousands of Americans that alleg ly the CIA just wrote off that to 
me is the story that should have been in the New York Times And The Washington Post Wall Street Journal that there are 
two dozen cases the CIA can't even explain away when Dr Galloway told me that I couldn't make my eyes work 
together it was the first time that someone had said you know that this is sort of The Smoking Gun this is your 
your proof Havana syndrome the immaculate concussion ahis whatever you 
want to call it it's real and regardless of who doesn't want you to know about it now you 
do if you want to learn more we've attached The Whistleblower complaints and other Declassified documents down 
below but do be warned some of them can be a tough read what would you say 
Havana syndrome [Music] is so what I think it is is there's 
some magical electronic black Master thing 
that gave people headaches it's a stress based or 
psychosomatic issue that doesn't actually have any cause like people just experience it because other people have 
experienced it and people are impressionable they can't like prove that it's like even real or it's really 
happening like is it just like a giant like Placebo thing happening it's just 
like scientifically it's like what the hell is going on here a lot of these people are working in high stress environment 
um working long hours they're probably not getting a lot of sleep I mean even the intelligence agencies a whole bunch 
of them came out and said we do not believe that the majority of these cases are due to some sort of foreign adversary I started to hear people who 
were just kind of making these basic attacks on the idea of this technology 
existing and so that sort of muddied it and that kind of dulled my interest in it too a little bit I did ended up not 
following it after that because it seemed like okay maybe this isn't a thing 
okay I want to take a second and say thank you thank you not only for watching this video but for all the 
support you've given us over the past year it's really like really meant the world and we've got some exciting news
