Independent investigative journalist Catherine Herridge\u2019s latest reporting makes that dismissiveness harder to sustain, because the pattern she lays out is not what psychosomatic illness looks like. It\u2019s what targeting looks like.<\/p>\n<p>Herridge, reporting on NewsNation, says more than two dozen suspected directed-energy incidents have now been reported on American soil \u2014 including a significant cluster at an off-site U.S. government intelligence and research facility in Northern Virginia. Read that location again. Not Havana, not Guangzhou, not some far-off embassy. A government research site inside the United States:<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\"><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><em>More than two dozen suspected directed energy attacks have been reported inside the US including a significant cluster of cases at an off-site U.S. government intelligence and research facility in Northern Virginia.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Multiple incidents reported in 2021 involving U.S. government personnelinvestigating directed-energy weapon technology, as well as efforts to reverse-engineer a directed-energy device.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>CIA, ODNI, DoW, DHS did not respond to questions seeking comment.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"2010591\" data-uid=\"18190\">\n<div id=\"mgw2010591_18190\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"mgbox card-media\" data-template-type=\"container\">\n<div class=\"mgheader\" data-template-type=\"header\" data-template-placed=\"before\">\n<p>The detail that should stop anyone cold is which people got hit. According to Herridge, some of the 2021 incidents struck U.S. personnel who were themselves investigating directed-energy technology \u2014 including individuals working to reverse-engineer a device. If accurate, that is not random and it is not stress. Whoever was behind it knew who was getting close to understanding the weapon and appears to have gone after exactly those people. Illness doesn\u2019t select for the investigators studying its cause. An adversary does.<\/p>\n<p>She also interviewed a Space Force veteran she calls \u201cChris,\u201d who says he was hit five times in his own home outside Washington and showed her medical records documenting multiple conditions, including a service-connected traumatic brain injury. Whatever one concludes about the broader phenomenon, a decorated veteran with documented brain injury describing repeated attacks in his own house is not a man to be waved off with a shrug about anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>Herridge describes the suspected device in unsettlingly practical terms: portable, programmable, easily concealed, and not requiring much power. That profile matters. It means this isn\u2019t necessarily the province of a superpower with exotic infrastructure \u2014 it\u2019s something that can be moved, hidden, and operated quietly, on American streets, against Americans in their homes.<\/p>\n<p>These remain \u201csuspected\u201d attacks; the U.S. government has pointedly stopped short of assigning blame, and prior intelligence assessments have been divided on whether a foreign weapon is even involved. Herridge is careful with her language, and so should anyone repeating her. This is reporting on an open question, not a closed case, and the mechanism is still genuinely disputed among serious people.<\/p>\n<p>But notice who wasn\u2019t talking. The CIA, the ODNI, the Department of War, and DHS all declined to respond to her requests for comment. On a question this grave \u2014 whether Americans are being attacked with a covert weapon inside their own country \u2014 silence from every relevant agency is its own kind of answer, and not a reassuring one.<\/p>\n<p>The people describing these injuries served their country. The least their country owes them is a serious investigation and a straight answer, rather than another decade of treating them as an embarrassment to be managed. Herridge is asking the question. Someone in government should be made to answer it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\">\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"2010588\" data-uid=\"17ac5\">\n<div id=\"mgw2010588_17ac5\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"mgbox\">\n<div class=\"mgheader\" data-template-type=\"header\" data-template-placed=\"before\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-567 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/morningpost.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/grok-image-ab9c7459-bc3f-4209-b00c-108051d68e58-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"902\" height=\"508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/morningpost.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/grok-image-ab9c7459-bc3f-4209-b00c-108051d68e58-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/morningpost.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/grok-image-ab9c7459-bc3f-4209-b00c-108051d68e58-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/morningpost.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/grok-image-ab9c7459-bc3f-4209-b00c-108051d68e58-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/morningpost.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/grok-image-ab9c7459-bc3f-4209-b00c-108051d68e58-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/morningpost.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/grok-image-ab9c7459-bc3f-4209-b00c-108051d68e58.jpg 1792w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 902px) 100vw, 902px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For years, \u201cHavana Syndrome\u201d was treated by much of the establishment press as a punchline \u2014 mass hysteria, anxiety, crickets, anything but what the victims described.
