The United States military has been testing pulsed energy on animals in an attempt to recreate the mysterious “Havana Syndrome” symptoms that have afflicted U.S. diplomats and intelligence officers in Cuba and other countries.

The symptoms, which include headaches, dizziness, and nausea, first emerged in late 2016 and have since affected hundreds of U.S. personnel around the world.

According to a report by The New York Times, the Pentagon’s research into pulsed energy involves exposing animals to high-intensity electromagnetic waves that are believed to be similar to the ones that caused the Havana Syndrome.

The research, which is being conducted at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland, is part of a broader effort to understand the origins of the syndrome and develop effective treatments for those affected by it.

The military’s use of animals in this research has sparked controversy among animal rights groups, who argue that such experiments are cruel and unnecessary. In response, the Pentagon has defended its research, saying that it is necessary to better understand the Havana Syndrome and develop treatments for those who have been affected by it.

The Havana Syndrome has been a major concern for U.S. officials in recent years, with many believing that it is the result of a deliberate attack by a foreign power. In response, the U.S. government has taken a number of steps to protect its personnel, including issuing new safety protocols and evacuating personnel from affected areas.

Despite these efforts, however, the cause of the Havana Syndrome remains a mystery. Some researchers believe that it may be the result of a previously unknown weapon or technology, while others have suggested that it may be a psychological phenomenon caused by the stress of working in high-risk environments.

Regardless of the cause, the military’s research into pulsed energy is an important step in understanding the Havana Syndrome and developing effective treatments for those affected by it. While some may disagree with the use of animals in this research, the importance of finding a solution to this ongoing problem cannot be overstated.
