Fox has confirmed two individuals working on the NSC during the Trump administration believe they were targeted in 2019 and in 2020 in the days following the election. One was near the White House and one was walking her dog. The Russians have been working on mobile microwave weapons for years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Griffin reported earlier in the week that indications suggest the attacks could potentially go back all the way to 1996, but they first gained serious attention in 2016 in Cuba when numerous U.S. personnel described experiencing the symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>The New Yorker reported on July 29, 2019, that brain specialists at the University of Pennsylvania, who tested 40 U.S. officials who are victims of these suspected attacks, confirmed that the victims\u2019 brains had suffered \u201ctangible neurological changes\u201d that were \u201cnot like anything we\u2019ve ever seen before,\u201d top officials told the magazine.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/news\/news-desk\/the-mystery-of-what-happened-to-american-diplomats-and-spies-in-havana-deepens\">report<\/a> stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"9\">\n<p><em>According to the first study, the victims appeared to have sustained serious brain injuries that resembled concussions suffered by soldiers struck by roadside bombs in Iraq and Afghanistan. But there were no signs of impact. One of the specialists at the University of Pennsylvania said that it was as if the victims had a \u201cconcussion without concussion.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Advanced neuroimaging machines tested the volume of white matter in the victims\u2019 brains and found that the results were \u201csignificantly\u201d different than in the brains of people who had not experienced the alleged attacks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is clear that something structural in the brain was affected, but we don\u2019t know what that is and what caused the effects,\u201d officials told the magazine. \u201cThe mass-hysteria hypothesis is debunked by very obvious neurological findings that you can\u2019t imitate, you can\u2019t mimic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Griffin reported earlier this week that the weapon that some officials suspect is behind the attacks is similar to the types of energy weapons that are used to take down drones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe U.S. Air Force and tech firm Epirus have developed a mobile high energy microwave weapon to bring down drones, Epirus is also working on a miniature variant of the weapon that can be easily transported on a pick up truck,\u201d Griffin said. \u201cThis is the type of technology that might be targeting American diplomats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Politico <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/russian-military-unit-suspected-to-be-behind-neurological-attacks-on-u-s-officials-on-u-s-soil-report\">reported<\/a> earlier this month that a secret Russian military unit, the GRU, might be behind neurological attacks on U.S. government officials.<\/p>\n<p>While the sources that spoke to the publication said they do not have smoking gun proof, they pointed to several factors that they say makes the GRU the prime suspect. The GRU has a known presence in all of the areas where U.S. officials have gotten sick, it\u2019s the only Russian agency with the technology capable of the attacks, and Russia has stated in the past that it sought to pursue \u201cirregular warfare\u201d against the U.S. because it cannot compete at the same level as the U.S. on the battlefield.<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
