    What's more likely?

    1. Some spooks are having stress reactions as a result of the guilty conscience all the evil shit they do give them
    2. Spooks are getting drunk and are having a hangover
    3. Russo-Chinese Cuban agents are shooting spooks in the brain with never before seen low-intensity sci-fi death rays.

    :fedposting: I don't know man. 1 and 2 seems a bit far-fetched. I'll go with 3.

      We're going to eventually find out that there actually is a sci-fi brain beam being used on our diplomats, but it's the CIA shooting it at other Americans

        100% - when the CIA complains of a mysterious affliction and speculates on some strange, uninvented technology as the cause, they're literally just projecting that they're trying to build that technology, failing at it and harming their own agents in the process

      1. I refuse to believe that you can work for the state department and have a conscience like a human.

    My hot take is that this is a disibility scam. "Oh no I got hit by the magic Cuban mind ray, I need 2K a month for PTSD" They let one motherfucking CIA agent get away with that and the flood gates just opened. They have to let everyone get away with it because the alternate is admitting it's clearly bullshit. Also it's government money who gives a shit anyway?

    It's the Americans natural reaction to seeing the Cuban paradise. They can't cope.

    This shit happened in early 2019. It gets investigated all summer. A lot of scientists say it's cicadas or drug withdrawals. Some say it can't be the bugs because of brain swelling. Covid comes and this shit basically goes away. Now covid is over and a year later we're back to this shit. Back to your regularly scheduled programming.
