US Slashing Embassy Staff In Cuba Because of Apparent Sonic 'Attacks' (qz.com)
PolygamousRanchKid shares a report from The Washington Post (Warning: may be paywalled; alternative source): The United States is yanking more than half its diplomatic personnel from its embassy in Havana and warning Americans not to visit Cuba, saying it is for their own safety after a string of mysterious injuries harmed at least 21 Americans stationed there. "We have no reports that private U.S. citizens have been affected, but the attacks are known to have occurred in U.S. diplomatic residences and hotels frequented by U.S. citizens," Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said in a statement. "The Department does not have definitive answers on the cause or source of the attacks and is unable to recommend a means to mitigate exposure." Investigators are looking into the possibility that they were subjected to some sort of "sonic attack," among other theories, though it is not clear why American diplomats and a handful of Canadian envoys would be the only ones to complain of symptoms. Cuba has denied having anything to do with the injuries. Among the possibilities being explored is that agents acting on behalf of a third country may be responsible.
Hairy and hanging low, the way Buddha intended.
I am baffled why they are unable to pinpoint the source of these attacks. Sonic waves have a point of origin. My understanding is that those waves can be traced.

What a load of false flag horseshit. See if you can spot the direct contradiction in the first two sentences.
Did U Know the Cubans also mind-controlled Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price and forced him to use private jets on the taxpayer's dime while Puerto Rico died? Gotta watch them Cubans. I've been their and let me tell you, their sonic weapons will make you dance uncontrollably.

...to do something about these Sonic attacks?
I bet the Russians did this. They're hacking our Alexas and using them for sonic DoS attacks.
mk ultra v2, probably running experiments at Guantanamo then creating problems for cuba as a side benefit
What's this world coming to?
Seems like this could explain it. While sonic weapon explanation makes no sense. No wargoal can be achieved by causing such symptoms and such weapons would be useless.
"The Department does not have definitive answers on the cause or source of the attacks and is unable to recommend a means to mitigate exposure."
Is the whole DoD, with a massive budget unable to mitigate this thing?
Think about it for a second: The most 'technologically advanced' country in the world brought down to its knees by some third-world operating entity! Really?
I know who to blame: "Those Russians."
Trump needs a quick war he can win, and he needs it yesterday. His string of failures is starting to make the yahoos restless.
There will be a Trump Hotel & Casino in Havana by the end of next year.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Based on the symptoms, it's entirely possible that these attacks are using microwaves, not sound. That probably better explains the after effects that some of the victims have experienced. I believe Cuba because they have nothing to gain and everything to lose by attacking American and Canadian diplomats. I tend to think the attacks are state sponsored, given the apparent sophistication and the number of victims. Cuba probably isn't responsible, but this is precisely the kind of thing Russia would do.
Some Canadians are affected as well.
Ricin umbrellas, polonium sushi...
Hmmm...
Just get a phone line there and call them.
Wasn't there some group or mass hysteria that ran through a girls school a while back? They all got sick or sleepy or something. I can't be bothered to look it up right now but this smells a lot like that. American diplomats have the mental capacities of 12 year-olds so this is what could be happening.
It was a ghetto blaster and a Björk cd. I still have the headache it caused.

The smart thing to do would have been to evacuate the embassy without telling anybody, possibly leaving behind a skeleton crew who understood the risk. They could pack it with sensors and determine what it was and where it was coming from. It seems plausible that Cuba wouldn't do this, and since Canada has had normal relations with them for years that's an obvious mistake. I'm guessing the Canadian embassy is near the US one; but if it isn't then we have to ask ourselves who would want to mess with both countries? We're probably not going to find out though now, because our hand was tipped... unless we actually know who it is and are deciding not to announce *that*, in which case I stand corrected and might applaud them for a smart move... if I'm alive long enough to see it declassified. That takes what, 50 years usually?
For all intensive purposes, "whom" is no longer a word. That begs the question, "who cares"?
In case of Sonic Attack on your district, follow these rules:
If you are making love it is imperative to bring all bodies to orgasm simultaneously.
Do not waste time blocking your ears.
Do not waste time seeking a "sound proofed" shelter.
Try to get as far away from the sonic source as possible
Do not panic
Do not panic
Use your wheels. It is what they are for.
Small babies may be placed inside the special cocoons
and should be left, if possible, in shelters.
Do not attempt to use your own limbs.
If no wheels are available - metal - not organic -
limbs should be employed whenever practical.
Remember:
In the case of sonic attack survival means
"Every man for himself"
Statistically more people survive if they think
only of themselves
Do not attempt to rescue friends, relatives, loved ones
You have only a few seconds to escape
Use those seconds sensibly or you will inevitably die
Think only of yourself
Think only of yourself
Do not panic
Think only of yourself
Think only of yourself
These are the first signs of sonic attack:
You will notice small objects - such as ornaments - oscillating
You will notice vibrations in your diaphragm
You will hear a distand hissing in your ears
You will feel the need to vomit
You will feel dizzy
You will have difficulty focussing
You will need to breathe more rapidly
There will be bleeding from orifices
There will be an ache in the pelvic region
You may be subject to fits of hysterical shouting or even laughter
These are all sign of imminent sonic destruction
Your only protection is flight
If you are less than ten years old
Remain in your shelter and use your cocoon
Remember - you can help no one else
You can help no one else
You can help no one else
Do not panic
Think only of yourself
Think only of yourself
Think only of yourself
Think only of yourself
Think only of yourself
Think only of yourself
None of them can see the clouds; The polished wings don't care.
If and when the truth is ever known, it will turn out to be a CIA operation gone bad.
I'll go with "The Russians" with a "Microwave Listening Device" in "Hotels to Which They Had Access During Construction." The effects on humans are probably unintended consequences of hitting the resonators with too much power. Hey, Ivan, crank it down to 10.
FOLLOW THESE RULES!

How can one know the difference between government agents (think CIA) and administrative personnel?
the whole thing is absurd and hilarious, and the accusations are outrageous. Easy way to do a reality check: consider if the very same allegations came from Russian diplomats, would they be believed or ridiculed? Is something true just because Americans say it is?
Would something like a tin foil hat / helmet help?
Perhaps not tinfoil but something to block RF waves.
Could this be orchestrated by Cuban exiles? Maybe they don't like USA-Cuba getting closer without them getting any benefit from the new status-quo.
From the description, the attack does not sound like super-sophisticated, so it should be possible for a non-state actor to execute it.
