How come when a government employee talks directed energy weapons they are believable but when a civilian talks about it.. they are completely insane..

[JK-iiel]

This not only happens to diplomats...normal citizens have experienced this as well!

When people deny, obfuscate and want you to doubt your own reality, it’s called gaslighting. It’s a sinister, deceptive way of shutting down the conversation and never having to have any accountability.

My daughter and I experienced exactly this two years ago, for half a year. It was daily. It would happen to us at consistent certain times. We would be in two totally different locations many miles apart when this would strike during the day, but experienced the same things, at the same exact times. We've had to go on strong antidepressants ever since from the horrible anxiety.
I remember that when it started, it would hit at the heart area and then spread to the rest of the body. It was like the energy or life essence was being drained from us. The anxiety would crop up and it felt like something was seriously wrong. Almost like a going crazy feeling. Then pain all over especially areas in the spine behind the heart, and lower back. It's like the nervous system was attacked.
We felt helpless like nothing we did could stop it.
I would wake up in the middle of the night feeling this happen. One time it felt like something was litterally taking my heart out if my body. I woke up and felt so sick to my stomach and so scared. It felt like I was surrounded by a dark icky cloud.
It was very scary.
Eventually it went away. But the trauma of being violated and harmed like this, not knowing what was going on and why will stick with us. Not knowing when and where it may happen again is a constant fear. It's an invisible enemy, tormentor.
I live in USA, Wisconsin and we are not a part of the government.
I need answers.

Thank you to all the victims who appeared in this piece. Seriously thank you.

Bringing awareness to this, one view at a time, will be worth it,

[mikedee]

My heart does go out to these hard-working people who've been treated so terribly in service of their country

[nicolecarnevale]

As someone below stated these attacks are occurring on citizens not associated with the US government. We have all experienced this cowardly, hellish attack together. To all the persons whose lives have been so disastrous impacted by these attacks I wish you all some degree of recovery, a sting emotional support system, a method to replace the meaning you found in tireless service to your government or employment and modalities to recover some sense of safety and peace. Civilians and government employees are in this together now. May we support each other unequivocally.

I believe this is what I have had since late 2014. I was working next to Patrick Air Force base. I’m now on disability. I have horrible vertigo, and chronic migraines. Migraines at least 20-25 days a month. Terrible balance. Spinning, dizziness, nausea. I pray they find something to relieve it. 😭

[mewteuwuuau]

Somebody please help. I am a victim of targeted individuals in the USA and we are suffering all across the world. This is mental oppression and espionage by definition and we need to speak up bring these people to justice. SPEAK UP PEOPLE!!!!

[ashendylan]

Why nobody talks about the harrassers who stalk there victims and Harrass them till they commit suicide...

[spiritchannel]

Research Targeted Individuals. This is happening to many more Americans than the media or Government is telling you!

[lesacagle]

This is happening to normal citizens in the USA.Alot of targeted individuals speak of this happening to them. So these weapons are here in our neighborhoods.such a terrible crime...

[njerinjeri]

i am a kenyan who lives near the army barracks and i have experienced what these people have experienced. Now i live with a dull headache, , sensation of a heavy brain and constant ringing in my ears.I also need help

[elzielewis]

Absolutely can not believe why this abuse of people is allowed and covered up by people in power that truly know what is going on 😢

[kathryncarter]

Just because it happened, doesn't mean the Cubans did it. Someone likely just used Cuba to blame.

[Redwarrior]

I would make the assumption that the US government is well aware of who and what is causing this, but that the diplomatic repercussions are too great to disclose publicly.

[ashendylan]

Targeted Individuals groups being saying these things are happening to them for years now...

[melmo]

So sorry for these good people, receiving barely mediocre care when they deserve the absolute BEST our country has to offer.

[sjones]

I am glad this is getting attention but more needs to be done.
