One would assume by now that the State Department's protection people have already taken measurements of both ultrasonics and RF. It can't be hard to detect. Why so much speculation after a month?
I’m fairly sure that whatever they did was an accidental side effect of the surveillance they were doing and they stopped when they realized they were hurting people.
I think that's likely. If it was microwaves, and they were still transmitting at high enough power to injure people, you couldn't miss it if you looked.
Even if that is true the media will want to demonize them to rile people up, and then politicians can further use Cuba as debate point for distraction for more serious issues going on domestically.
Part of me is now wondering if this was even nefarious as I'm picturing over zealous Cuban pest control specialists, without strong regulation or laws, simply using termite microwaves with people around.
I think they've mostly been developed and sold in the US but given the creativity of the Cuban people when it comes to reuse, it's not hard to imagine a few have converted old microwaves. It's also not hard to imagine that higher-end accommodations, in order to control termites with the least amount of 'impact' to customers in terms of smell or possibly even as a result of lack of access to pesticides are using exterminators who use termite microwaves.
The health effects described are also similar to what you can get with a severe black mold infestation. Although if they've already taken apart the walls looking for electronic devices then presumably they would have noticed that.
(Specifically I'm taking about things like immediate and unexplained brain damage, bleeding, hearing and vision loss, confusion, pain, lethargy, etc.)
I think it's good if people read about the supposed "voice to skull" phenomenon. But in my experience, someone who says they are experiencing voice to skull (a.k.a. "V2K") are actually experiencing schizophrenia, the disease that convinces the patient that they don't have it.
> Even Julian Assange has weighed in, stating “The diversity of symptoms suggests that this is a pathogen combined with paranoia in an isolated diplomatic corps.”
No, it's just plain and simple paranoia.
A common disease they all caught is a bit convoluted, perhaps if it was cold season I might believe a few general illness might have amplified the paranoia.
My personal belief on this is that there is no upside for the Cubans to be involved in this. I believe there was something but I would look at the Russians or the North Koreans for this. They benefit from allowing the Trump administration to have an outlet for theirs need to dismantle our Cuban engagement.
You want democracy in Cuba, given them Starbucks and Amazon. Our policy has been a complete failure.

I'd look elsewhere.

What countries is this popular in?
