Following the Department of Defense s lead, the State Department, Central Intelligence Agency, and National Security Agency are belatedly moving to support employees who believe they have suffered radio frequency/microwave attacks while serving abroad.
Responding to workforce and congressional concerns on this issue, the
Washington Examiner can report that the CIA will imminently appoint a new chief medical officer. Still, the Senate and House intelligence, foreign relations, and armed services committees are increasingly frustrated by what they believe is a failure to support victims of suspected attacks and to hold accountable those responsible.
The significant majority of those who have investigated this issue, or suffered from it, believe Russian President Vladimir Putin is responsible for the RF/MW attacks.
The US Department of Defense is planning to withdraw most support for CIA counter-terror missions by the beginning of next year, in a move expected to have a broad effect on the scope of the intelligence agency’s paramilitary operations, a senior defense official and former senior administration official with direct knowledge of the move told CNN. Reportedly, Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller informed CIA Director Gina Haspel of the decision in a letter. The same report said Biden will reverse the move.
As this is clearly an unnamed official, we await a formal DOD announcement. But in the meantime take a look at the complexities of the U.S. Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense.
