CHR - Directed Energy Weapons: Credible, Crippling And Complex

TOP LINE

Exclusive records and interviews obtained by our investigation validate reports of Directed Energy Weapon attacks on US government spies, diplomats and military operatives. 

These findings challenge the intelligence community assessment by the Biden Administration that it was “unlikely” a foreign adversary or a ‘novel’ weapon was responsible.

These debilitating brain injuries and neurological symptoms take their name from a cluster of attacks in 2016 at the US embassy in Havana, Cuba. Our reporting shows the attacks go back decades.

In response to our investigation, the nation’s top intelligence official, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has committed to initiating a new intelligence assessment into the causes of ‘Havana Syndrome’ or ‘Anomalous Health Incidents.’

DEEP DIVE

I recently interviewed retired counterintelligence officer, 63-year-old Mike Beck. He was on assignment in a hostile country (location remains classified) for the National Security Agency in 1996 when Beck and his partner were attacked.

While Beck has spoken before to the media, this was his first interview since he moved into assisted living because his wife of 40 years, Rita Cicala, can no longer care for him at home.  

Thirty years after the attack, Beck’s brain injury has progressed in severity.  In 2006, he received a Parkinson’s diagnosis and more recently, a diagnosis of dementia.  Beck’s case shows that the damage to the brain did not end with a directed energy weapon attack.  Rather, the initial insult to the brain disrupts its networks. This impairs the brain’s ability to compensate. Overtime, the damage accumulates and can lead to brain cell death and atrophy.

Beck also provided new details about the 1996 attack.  He explained that he and his partner were hit by a microwave energy weapon after they “walked in on an operation that the hostile country was doing” against the United States.

Exclusive records obtained by our team leave no doubt Beck was hit by a directed energy weapon, likely at the hands of a foreign adversary.  One of the country’s top Parkinson’s experts wrote on Beck’s behalf to help secure his workers’ compensation. 

The letter states, “Mr. Beck has a much more clearly documented exposure to a microwave weapon as well as a much more clearly documented brain injury than those patients described in either the literature or the media…Mr. Beck clearly merits the recognition that his Parkinson's disease and its associated symptoms are due to his government service.”

Beck was one of nearly a dozen people who came forward after our December investigation called  ”Government Gaslighting”  that investigated Havana Syndrome.  The new witnesses described previously unknown attacks. They provided personal medical records, including brain scans that showed damage from a traumatic event, not a naturally occuring neurological disease.

In our December/January newsletters, we profiled a medically retired CIA officer who we agreed to call “Alice” to shield her identity.  She also described the fallout of a directed energy weapon attack targeting her in Africa in 2021.  Alice’s attack was 25 years after Beck’s.

“We're basically ticking time bombs. Catherine, I have already started having to go to funerals,” Alice explained. “I have friends in nursing homes. I have friends with dementia and Parkinson's. In some ways, people have a heart attack and if you don't die of it, we know how to fix a heart attack. We don't know how to fix this.”

Like the CIA Whistleblower, the documents we reviewed show the Labor Department acknowledged Beck’s brain injury as the result of his government service. The Labor Department only acknowledged his Parkinson’s Disease after a leading Parkinson’s specialist intervened.
