Since 2016, over 1,500 US diplomats and intelligence officers have reported symptoms consistent with directed energy attacks — brain injury, hearing loss, vertigo, and cognitive decline. A 2024 investigation by The Insider, 60 Minutes, and Der Spiegel linked attacks to Russian GRU Unit 29155. Norwegian researchers successfully replicated symptoms using pulsed microwave radiation. Despite this, CIA and State Department investigations concluded 'most cases' could be explained by pre-existing conditions, stress, or environmental factors. Victims accused the government of a cover-up to avoid confrontation with Russia.
