JUST IN: Catherine Herridge Drops Bombshell Report; ‘Microwave Weapons’ Being Used Against Americans
Michael Beck was serving as a U.S. counterintelligence official when he first encountered what’s been described as a “microwave weapon” used to cook a person’s brain cells while they’re still living.
Now retired, Beck told investigative journalist Catherine Herridge he was in the field when he stumbled upon an operation being conducted by agents from a “hostile nation” who targeted him with a directed energy weapon, or DEW. Today, he has all the hallmarks of Parkinson’s disease, but the U.S. agencies involved “did everything they could” to refuse recognition of his injuries.
Asked by Herridge if he thinks the federal government is covering up the use of DEWs on American service members and contractors, Beck was unequivocal.
“Yes,” he replied without hesitation.
Dr. James Giordano, Director of the Center for Disruptive Technologies and Future Warfare at the Institute for National Strategic Studies, described how DEWs are radically changing the nature of combat. While they don’t always kill, they are designed to leave victims with lifelong, debilitating illnesses that prevent them from future service.
The first significant instance of DEW use against U.S. personnel came in 2016 when nearly two dozen soldiers were mysteriously injured while stationed at the U.S. embassy in Havana, Cuba. Giordano, the specialist brought in to diagnose their condition, later coined the term “Havana Syndrome” to describe what he saw.
“To my experience and from my analysis, essentially three” instances of DEW use against Americans have occurred, he told Herridge.
“We’re looking at two forms of sonic weapon. They both use sound and the expansion and contraction of a sound wave as the mechanism by which it’s going to disrupt function and structure of areas of various tissues, but they do so differently. And the third is something that was really something of a revelation, and this is the use of scalable and directable microwaves,” he said.
More than 2,000 attacks in about a dozen countries have been reported, according to Herridge. Her report brought her to Beck, now in an assisted living center after being hit with some type of microwave weapon.
“It has been a slow deterioration over time,” Beck’s wife said about his worsening condition. “He’s gradually losing his train of thought. He forgets what the next word is so he’ll get stuck and he’ll stop because his brain isn’t processing fast enough.”
Once an incredibly sharp and capable intelligence officer, Beck is now a shadow of his former self, sitting unsteadily and unable to control chronic shaking during his interview, a symptom of Parkinson’s-style neurodegeneration. Herridge said the two took multiple breaks during the interview so Beck could recover.
WATCH:
Incredibly, the existence of DEWs appears to stretch back to the mid-1990s when, during an overseas assignment in 1996, Beck was hit with a microwaves weapon.
“We traveled to a hostile country and we found some pieces of gear that we’d only heard about,” he recalled.
The mission may have saved countless American lives, as the technology under development was believed to be being prepared for weaponization against U.S. citizens.
Despite a 2014 national security memo describing the “high-powered microwave” weapon as having deadly potential to maim or kill, the Becks say they are still fighting for recognition of what he’s been through.
The government “basically wanted the hostile country to say ‘yes, we hit Mike Beck on this date, in this time, in this place,” his wife said.
Asked why the government may be setting the bar so high, she replied ominously, “I think they just want to protect their reputation.”
Beck is currently appealing to President Donald Trump to rectify the plight of himself and countless other unnamed former counterintelligence men and women who suffered a similar fate.
“Clean up the mess that’s been made with all these inaccuracies,” he pleaded.
