For a CIA operative this guy talks too much. He is probably just trying to get some special pension as a “victim” of mysterious weapon that no one sure exists and body effects of which can’t be detected.

> But in the year since he left, he has become increasingly frustrated by the Agency’s reluctance to give him and the other CIA officers affected with the medical care they need. “It’s incumbent on them to provide the medical help we require, which does not include telling us that we’re all making it up,” he told me. “I want the Agency to treat this as a combat injury.”

Thinking my way through this thing:

A. If there's a directed-energy weapon, we would know about it because we probably have one too.

B. If we have one and we know they're using it, we have two choices:

     B.1 We call them out on it, but then we have to 
     admit we have the thing too, and we've tested it on 
     people so we know it does that.
      

     B.2 We don't call them out on it directly, and we 
     just encourage affected federal employees to go 
     public and shame our friends in Moscow, Havana, 
     Beijing, country X we have some political problem 
     with.
C. If there's not a directed-energy weapon, it's either the pesticide thing or mass hysteria.

D. Normal people won't know what the real answer is until it's FOIA declassified in 60 years.

E. Working for the CIA in unfriendly countries can come with side-effects.

Mass Hysteria.

What's more interesting is, like Covid-19 testing people is finding all strange things.

I'd like to think it's because our tech is catching up and we are finding the body changes in interesting ways.

But I unfortunately I think our diagnostic tools are in part tools of mysticism used to find what we want to find.

Like running CCleaner, we all know deep down the problem is going to be much harder but it's easier to just run the tool often than actually finding the real problems. And eventually the person just gets a new computer or the patient dies.

60 years seems like a stretch to ease my curiosity. I better start working out extra and eating more salads.

I suppose it's still 2020.

There could still something that would reveal the truth, like a coup, revolution, second pandemic, financial-crash, war with China, singularity, mass-extinction event, nuclear holocaust, collapse of some ice shelf. There's always the chance something weird could happen and the government could use them on us, thus we would know about it.

If there's one thing I have genuine faith in, it's that 2020 is the QVC channel on interdimensional cable, and man maybe we'll find out early.
