In a stunning revelation, a former CIA officer has accused the Biden administration of concealing evidence that a foreign-directed energy weapon is being used to target intelligence officials worldwide. Speaking on the record with investigative journalist Catherine Herridge, the whistleblower—using the alias “Alice”—shared her story of debilitating injuries and alleged government gaslighting.
Alice, whose career in intelligence was allegedly cut short by injuries caused by a directed energy weapon wielded by Russian military intelligence, described her experience as a cover-up that should alarm all Americans. “It’s a cover-up,” she told Herridge. “It should be terrifying for all Americans.” Her comments come as newly leaked documents support her claims.

Former Intelligence Officer Claims Career Ending Injuries Caused By Foreign Directed Energy Weapon
Leaked Defense Department Letter Acknowledges Injuries and Experiences “Are Real”

A leaked Defense Department letter from March 2024 acknowledges the symptoms reported by disabled analysts and diplomats, stating unequivocally that their injuries and experiences “are real.” This marks a stark contrast to continued dismissals by intelligence officials, who attribute the symptoms to environmental factors, psychosomatic issues or even hormonal changes.
The symptoms, often referred to under the umbrella term Havana Syndrome, first appeared in 2016 among U.S. embassy personnel in Havana, Cuba. They initially include severe headaches, memory loss, nausea, light sensitivity and other neurological issues. Cases have since emerged globally.
For years, the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC), including Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Avril Haines, dismissed the idea that a directed energy weapon was behind these incidents. In March 2023, Haines labeled the theory as “highly unlikely,” citing environmental or conventional health explanations. Alternative hypotheses from the IC ranged from mass hysteria to abnormally loud crickets, fueling distress and indignation among gravely injured and dying victims.
However, a recently declassified report from the Intelligence Community Experts Panel on Anomalous Health Incidents (AHIs), the formal name for Havana Syndrome, challenges those earlier assessments. The report, obtained through a lawsuit filed by the transparency-focused James Madison Project, concludes that “pulsed electromagnetic energy” is a plausible explanation for the syndrome’s core characteristics.
The report dismisses other natural explanations as insufficient and describes Havana Syndrome as a “unique neurosensory syndrome” with no precedent in medical literature. While some gaps in data remain, the findings lend weight to victims’ claims and contradict prior government narratives.
The disclosures have led to heightened scrutiny of how the government handled Havana Syndrome cases. Victims have long alleged inadequate medical support and even retaliation. In one notable case, an engineer named Mark Lenzi reached a $460,000 settlement with the State Department over claims of discrimination “against him over his Havana Syndrome diagnosis and his public advocacy for victims of the condition.”
As part of the agreement, Bloomberg Law noted that Lenzi withdrew all claims against the State Department, which denied any liability.
Despite public denials of foreign involvement, some officials have privately pointed to Russia as a likely perpetrator. Herridge’s reporting found that CIA Director William Burns blamed Moscow in confidential discussions.
With mounting evidence of a cover-up, the incoming Trump administration faces increasing pressure to act. For now, all victims like Alice can do is persist in demanding answers—and justice.
