Dr. Sanjay Gupta investigates the mysterious 'Havana Syndrome', exploring potential directed energy causes, microwave weapons, extraterrestrial theories, Russian involvement, and the impact on health. The podcast also delves into the importance of quality sleep for cognitive function and the unsettling health episodes experienced by individuals at high-security government buildings.
Directed energy is a probable cause of Havana Syndrome, identified through deduction and historical examples of similar weaponry.
The incidents raise questions about security vulnerabilities and the need for deeper understanding of how the body interacts with electromagnetic energy.
Deep dives
The Likely Mechanism Behind Havana Syndrome
Neuroscientist James Giordano was contacted by State Department officials to help explain Havana Syndrome. Through a process of deduction, directed energy was identified as a probable cause. Directed energy involves technologies producing concentrated beams of electromagnetic energy, potentially weaponized. Historical examples like Soviet microwave radiation in Moscow show the long-standing existence of such weaponry.
Microwave Auditory Effect and Directed Energy Weapons
Professor James Lin researched microwave auditory effect, where certain microwave energy causes sound in the head. He experimented on himself with pulsed microwaves directed at his brain. Directed energy weapons like the active denial system project millimeter waves inducing a non-lethal burning sensation. This technology has evolved with China and Russia also developing similar weapons.
Concerns and Investigations into Havana Syndrome
Alyssa Faragrifen's health episodes at the Pentagon and White House mirrored Havana Syndrome symptoms. Bill Evanina believes Russia, possibly in cahoots with Cuba, was behind the attacks. Despite CIA and FBI's statements, investigations continue, with uncertainty and secretive aspects surrounding the attacks. The incident raises questions about security vulnerabilities and the need for a deeper understanding of how the human body interacts with electromagnetic energy.
Dr. Sanjay Gupta travels to Cuba to investigate one of the most complex and controversial brain mysteries in recent years known as "Havana Syndrome." First reported by two dozen U.S. officials in Havana, Cuba starting in 2016, these unexplained health incidents have since multiplied to include hundreds of reports of concussion-like injuries around the globe. Despite various government investigations, American officials have yet to make clear what is behind these injuries and whether a directed energy weapon may be to blame. Dr. Gupta sets out to explain the truth behind "Havana Syndrome," the extent of its impact on the brain, and the potential continuing threat facing government officials at home and abroad. This special report originally aired on CNN on September 25, 2022.
