| Now about those TBIs... [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] United States diplomats and intelligence officers suffering from the mysterious Havana Syndrome will receive six-figure payouts from the federal government. The payouts for the stricken officials, ordered by the Biden Administration, will range between $100,000 and $200,000 to each recipient, according to a Washington Post report that outlined the compensation plan. Symptoms for the mysterious condition - which first surfaced among staffers at the US embassy in Havana in 2016 and has since afflicted hundreds of Americans around the world - include headaches, tinnitus, memory loss and nausea. The payments will reportedly go to those determined to have suffered the most significant setbacks, such as job loss or career derailment, as a result of the illness. The news likely comes as a welcome reprieve for sufferers like Tina Onefur, Kate Husband, and Husband's partner Doug Ferguson, all former workers at the US embassy in Havana - and some of the earliest known victims of the condition. The vast majority of those stricken have been US diplomats, spies, and others employed by the government - spurring many to believe the disease is the work of a foreign entity, such as Russia. The theory has put further pressure on the government - which largely ignored the rash of cases under former President Trump - to address the surge. |

| #8 Time for us all to carry burners and trade them around with strangers. Some sort of system would need to be devised, but I'm sure it could be done. Call them HunterPhones. |

| #7 Thatlittle electronic SOB we all carry around with us is not our friend.--Besoeker IMO carrying around a device that is controlled by (potentially hackable) software that can clandestinely listen to you is hardly 'secure'. Faraday Cage or assume it could be listening you if you are trying to have a confidential conversation... |

| #6 Surely under the cloak of confidentiality. Hmmmm. Now, are any apologies to the Cubans forthcoming? |

| #5 One must wonder if the payment was contingent upon the signing of a NDS (Non-Disclosure Statement) by the injured party ? |

| #4 Magpie, there are articles (and some photos of odd new antennas/projectors mounted on sensitive buildings) out there regarding a new 'surveillance deterrent system' implemented around 2016. Yes Besoeker, that form of a one-time payout is very odd indeed. |

| #2 I always wondered if there was some sort of active (sonic? microwave?) anti-surveillance system that (a) combined (heterodyned) with some other US system, (b) combined with some other Soviet / Cuban active spy system, or (c) both happened to some degree? I wonder if we will ever know... |
