And this dive also dug up Havana syndrome (which we talked about briefly the other day) and Garry Nolan lol.

The official excuses put out to explain the Havanna syndrome have been just pathetic so far.

"It was loud crickets" was a great one, and checking the latest NPR article

quote:

For example, a faulty air conditioning or heating system can cause changes in room pressure that can cause headaches, they said.

and people think the UFO community is shamefully credulous...

Havana Syndrome has always seemed very in the same realm as the UAP stuff. Both unexplained phenomena directly admitted to by the US Gov't. Would not be surprised at all if there ended up being some kind of connection between them.

i recommend reading this article if people haven't already. reading it was in my top 3 "oh gently caress it's real" moments (besides the 2017 article, and the chinese spy ballon nonsense)

quote:

Did the people who claimed that they'd had an encounter, especially the pilots, describe any perceivable decrease in neurological capacity?

Of the 100 or so patients that we looked at, about a quarter of them died from their injuries. The majority of these patients had symptomology that's basically identical to what's now called Havana syndrome. We think amongst this bucket list of cases, we had the first Havana syndrome patients. Once this turned into a national security problem with the Havana syndrome I was locked out of all of the access to the files because it's now a serious potential international incident if they ever figured out who's been doing it.

That was when we realized that these people were not damaged, but had an over-connection of neurons between the head of the caudate and the putamen [The caudate nucleus plays a critical role in various higher neurological functions; the putamen influences motor planning, learning, and execution]. If you looked at 100 average people, you wouldn’t see this kind of density. But these individuals had it. An open question is: did coming in contact with whatever it was cause it or not?

Havana syndrome is a psychosomatic illness that the US government psyop'd their own spooks and diplomats into thinking they had, to create cover for the real symptoms experienced by the tiny cadre who got hosed up by coming into contact with UFOs

I always found the “it’s just made up bs to cover for hangovers” explanation to be…wanting.

people have been making up poo poo at work to cover for poor decisions since time immemorial. there are myriad tried and true excuses that don’t involve directed energy weapons or whatever the gently caress, which are guaranteed to arouse less suspicion than pulling out some “debilitating mind ray” poo poo.

it makes no sense. however, if you begin from the position that all extra-ordinary explanations are impossible, then any given banal explanation is plausible, relatively speaking, regardless of the evidence.

That also ignores the fact that quite a few young children of gov employees have also experienced it.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

the us government is a historically uniquely evil entity which can only lie, at every level, about everything, and everyone employed within is an actual ghoul, or perhaps vampire, who lives only to commit acts of great evil against innocents

i think, for me, there’s no likeable ufo characters. they all are slimy fucks with ulterior motives

i would love to be wrong though
