I believe it 100%.
I wonder if US/allies also have this technology and have also used it extrajudicially and don’t want to answer those questions.

Except the Pentagon investigation has never come up with any proof that there were any attacks at all. There were multiple studies looking at everything from statistics to evidence of damage in supposedly affected individuals to trying to replicate the effects, and not a single one has come up with anything.
Some diplomats got tinnitus, and they are blaming sci-fi weapons.
They're the Pentagon. What realistic expectation is there for them to be truely candid on a topic like this?
Yeah, it's honestly silly. They've been throwing darts at the wall on this forever. Whatever BS propoganda shit has been blamed going back to the actual office in Havana. Russians, Chinese, UFOs, whatever is currently popular.
Then when they actually put an actual considerable amount of time and money into it, it's just nothing. It was always nothing, it's a stupid distraction.
This has big "we investigated ourselves and found ourselves innocent of any wrongdoing" vibes. There are a million reasons why the pentagon wouldn't be honest about this sort of thing, from PR concerns about failing to defend the country, to doing it themselves and not wanting to risk exposing themselves
I'm not saying it's true. I'm just saying I'd like someone other than a government agency to do the investigating
The 60 Minutes episode had a couple of people with their own theories, ie: if the problem is not acknowledged then Washington doesn't have to deal with it. And that makes sense.
Theories, not evidence
You know what stops ultrasonic LRAD air waves from reaching you and inflicting pain? Benn Jordan knows.
Mattresses will work last I read. Probably anything thick enough would work though
Stuff like foam doesn't do a good job. In the video Benn discovers that shiny poster board works best. Recording studio audio foam didn't do anything.
Huh, last I heard people had successfully used old mattresses to block LRAD devices but I think they were using the older style with internal coils rather than a solid foam mattress. The shiny poster board sounds a lot easier to use though.
