Norwegian Scientist Suffers Brain Damage After Self-Testing Experimental Microwave Weapon
A scientist in Norway has inflicted brain damage upon himself after constructing and testing an experimental weapon designed to disprove the existence of 'Havana Syndrome'. In 2024, as part of a top-secret research project, the unidentified government researcher built a device capable of emitting powerful pulses of microwave radiation. The sceptical scientist tested the device on himself to demonstrate that its effects would be harmless, but according to the Washington Post, he soon developed symptoms of the mysterious condition that has affected diplomats globally.
Government Investigations and International Scrutiny
Reportedly, the Norwegian government informed the CIA about these secretive experiments and their disastrous outcomes. This prompted two visits to Norway from Pentagon and White House officials to inspect the device, which is believed to have been constructed using materials stolen from a foreign government. This development adds further evidence to the theory that so-called 'pulsed energy' devices can impact the human body and may have been deployed against US officials. However, an official familiar with the situation claims that the Norwegian scientist's symptoms do not precisely match a 'classic' case of Havana Syndrome.
Havana Syndrome is an unexplained condition with severe symptoms, including headaches, dizziness, ringing in the ears, and cognitive difficulties. It is named after the first reported cases in 2016 at the US embassy in Havana, Cuba. Since then, it has been reported in over 15 countries, such as Russia, China, India, Colombia, the US, and the UK. Officially, the US government labels these incidents as 'anomalous health incidents' (AHIs), but some speculate they result from deliberate attacks using pulsed energy weapons similar to the one created by the Norwegian scientist.
Theory of Pulsed Energy Weapons and Global Implications
The idea is that these weapons could harness powerful bursts of electromagnetic energy to silently and remotely inflict brain damage on targets. Responsibility for such alleged attacks has often been attributed to Russia, which has a long history of research into 'direct energy weapons', though Moscow denies involvement and there is no evidence of successful Russian deployment. Previously, it was thought that constructing such weapons was impossible or that they would not produce the described symptoms, but the Norwegian research suggests otherwise.
According to the Washington Post, those aware of the test say it does not prove that AHIs are the work of foreign adversaries, but it highlights the potential seriousness of these weapons. In an unrelated development, it recently emerged that the Pentagon spent an eight-figure sum on a pulsed energy weapon in the final days of the Biden administration, purchased from an unknown seller and containing some 'Russian-made' components. Around the same time, a declassified report from the US National Intelligence Council noted that two spy agencies revised their assessments on whether a foreign actor could cause biological effects consistent with Havana Syndrome symptoms.
Ongoing Debates and Speculations
The National Intelligence Council's overall position remains that it is 'very unlikely' a foreign power is behind the reported incidents, but speculation is growing that the US may have acquired its own pulsed energy device. An anomalous account from a raid in Venezuela, shared by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, described a 'sound' that knocked security staff off their feet, with symptoms including bleeding and vomiting. Commenting on the raid, Donald Trump mentioned 'The Discombobulator', though it is unclear if this refers to a pulsed energy weapon or a long-range acoustic device.
Havana Syndrome continues to be a topic of intense debate, with over 200 cases under investigation globally. Symptoms reported by affected individuals include hearing loss, severe headaches, memory issues, dizziness, and brain injury, often requiring extensive medical treatment. The condition has been documented in countries like Cuba, the United States, China, Russia, and many others, underscoring its widespread and puzzling nature.
