Russia accused of employing 'Havana syndrome' attack on George W. Bush

 Tom Rogan:

On June 5, 2007, President George W. Bush arrived at the Grand Hotel in Heiligendamm, Germany. The Baltic Sea resort was hosting that year's G-8 summit.

But this would be no ordinary gathering. Exceptional witness testimony indicates in hindsight that Bush and others in his delegation may have been victims of the so-called "Havana Syndrome." The possible link between ailments suffered by Bush's delegation and Havana Syndrome has not been previously reported.

Havana Syndrome was named when dozens of U.S. government officers assigned to the embassy in Havana, Cuba, began experiencing what the government referred to as "anomalous health incidents." Hundreds of other U.S. personnel have subsequently experienced Havana Syndrome globally since 2016. A 2020 National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report identified common symptoms as "a sensation of intense pressure or vibration in the head, and pain in the ear or more diffusely in the head ... Different numbers of individuals also reported sudden onset of tinnitus, hearing loss, dizziness, unsteady gait and visual disturbances." The report assessed the symptoms to be "consistent with the effects of directed, pulsed radio frequency (RF) energy."

The leading U.S. government suspicion is that Havana Syndrome is a result of Russian GRU-led intelligence services' use of RF/microwave pulsed energy devices against U.S. personnel. Sources tell me that one theory that has recently gained traction within the CIA's Havana Syndrome Task Force is that the Russians are deploying their RF/MW capability via pulsed nanosecond bursts that are near impossible to detect.

...

So far the US has not found a way to block such attacks.  They need to develop a mirror device that turns the assault back on the attackers.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
