The Spin

Narrative A

The government has failed victims and the public by burying this evidence of Russian microwave attacks on American officials, dismissing victims as delusional, while these revelations about a classified weapon prove that these injuries are real. CIA leadership mocked the wounded, prioritized avoiding confrontation with Russia over protecting personnel and covered up what amounts to acts of war on U.S. soil. Hopefully, as this story has been broken wide open, justice will finally be administered and victims will be protected, not shunned.

Narrative B

These ongoing claims of systematic foreign attacks are highly suspect because successfully targeting over 1,500 elite intelligence officers would require impossible levels of penetration into classified U.S. systems. If Russia or other bad actors really had moles identifying top performers and their home addresses, the proxy war would have unfolded completely differently. The intelligence community already assessed foreign involvement as very unlikely, making this an unfounded and frequently recycled narrative.
