## Resource

This episode of Fear & Wine dives deep into Havana Syndrome, the mysterious illness that has affected hundreds of U.S. diplomats and intelligence officers since 2016. What the government once dismissed as stress, overwork, or even crickets has now been confirmed by independent scientists and government officials in 2025–2026 to be the result of a real, portable directed-energy weapon using pulsed microwave radiation. Kristin walks through the confirmed physics, the documented biology behind Havana Syndrome, and the weapon’s escalation ladder, its chain of historical development, and the disturbing pattern of who is being targeted and why. The Science Behind Havana Syndrome and How Microwave Weapons Damage the Brain. For bonus episodes, sneak peeks, and group chats, join our Patreon!
