Under the current staus quo of capitalism, any public executive office holds no real power. Everything is governed by the logic of capitalism and the boards behind the big banks. Public executives are figureheads whose primary social role is to be a punching bag. Thus, anyone with an ounce of intelligence coupled with an agenda, vision, or will to power avoids these roles like a loving plauge, leaving only the stupid, insane and/or masochistic to fill them.

I feel like if this were the case the worse ones would've come out already. If he's gone radio silent there's no reason to hold back

Of course now that these ghouls got what they want - health care for life - they can admit that "Havana Syndrome" was bullshit. This trick gets pulled all the time and the people who do it always think we're too dumb to notice.

My guess is that Havana Syndrome was real, in certain circumstances, and caused by some sort of highly classified experimental CIA/NSA tech

I'm just riffing too, but there seems to be a huge cluster of autoimmune disorders and poo poo that when you go in to the doctor (especially if you're a woman) the doctor is just like "We can't find anything wrong with you. It's probably in your head." and then that in turns drives you nuts and you wind up a Facebook group for "Toxic Mold Sufferers" who are all convinced their headaches are caused by mold that no one can find or like fibromyalgia or any number of fake diseases.

My guess is that working for the American Schutzstaffel has a negative psychological impact.

Harry Nilsson broke the news on Havana Syndrome decades ago. You put the lime in the coconut, drink them both up until you get a bellyache, then call Congress for free money so you can drink some more, to relieve your bellyache.

i say swears online posted:i think a lot of later cases were people just wanting a free vacation too Also it all started when like 2 people in the Havana office got sick and for some loving reason they gathered everyone together and said "hey look we think we're under attack. If you feel weird, let us know because the Russians might be using energy weapons on us". Which is an outstanding way to get a whole bunch of reports of really common poo poo like hangovers and headaches and ringing in the ears that you can classify as suspicious. Probably could provoke some mass hysteria if you tried hard enough.

You are telling these various CIA people across the globe that someone is using a mysterious weapon that the government doesn't understand and then people start all reporting similar symptoms in different offices outside of Havana, it gets all of this media attention, and it snowballs from there

FlamingLiberal posted:It's almost 100% a mass hysteria event Being stressed, or hypertension, or eyestrain can all manifest as headaches. And if you spend all day inside dark rooms at a desk squinting at monitors and then your boss tells you the Russians (or Cubans or Chinese) have secret energy weapons we don't know about or understand, and then you talk to all the other people in all the other secret bases on Twitter or Facebook or Telegram about this... No poo poo everyone is going to get stressed out and have headaches.

If Havana Syndrome was such an issue, you would think the CIA of all places would already have treatment for it. Oh wait, it’s just Munchausen's syndrome for federal agents lol

I think it was one of the first cases, Chapo might have even read it, where the guy was all hosed up and thought he was dying as he took a cab ride to the ER. And it was like, yeah man, that sounds horrible. It sounds like a nasty migraine or migraine with aura out of nowhere. Sometimes it happens for no reason, and sometimes you just get hosed by the universe and start having migraines  . Probably not an energy beam.

It's kind of amazing how many different ways anxiety can manifest, especially if someone else is experiencing something around you that seems like something you might have some potential of getting yourself. I think even a lot of people without anxiety disorders can relate to hearing a story about a gruesome injury to an eye or something and feeling discomfort around their own eye, so just add in someone more susceptible to anxiety, perhaps already under a lot of other stress, and a story about how they could be affected too, and you have what we saw. Maybe there were some fakers along the way, but I'd bet most people who reported symptoms genuinely thought something bad was happening to them.

I know they did a Tulsa King episode but have the Chapo Boys talked about Yellowstone before? My partner is watching it and it's a deranged window into the deranged anxieties and desires of conservatives/Americans. Like Sons of Anarchy but for boomers and dudes who wish they were dads.

Mayor Eric Adams pales in comparison to what could have been (Mayor Bo Dietl). New York is chock full of weird guys like that. It's an outgrowth of a strong single party machine alongside patronage and caring far more about who isn't elected than who is.
