I didn't read it because I don't care. Critical support if true.

My parents watch 60 Minutes because they are old. The whole show tonight was devoted to this story.

Didn't congress already give them a blank check for any medical care they need and stuff? What do they want? Our credulity? Our sympathy?

The whole 60 Minutes piece was full of blatant contradictions and suspect investigative work. Examples:

  1. Some intelligence asshole who's convinced this is a Russian attack (and who they later reveal has started a private company marketing something to Havana Syndrome havers, hmm no bias there) said they're targeting only upper-echelon U.S. personnel. They go on to interview the wife of some DOJ guy in Germany and talk about another "incident" at a NATO conference where Biden and Zelensky were present. So spouses of lawyers are upper-echelon targets now? And they used their undetectable mind ray on some diplomat at this NATO conference, but not Biden or Zelensky?
  2. The lawyer's wife, whose incident occurred around 2014, was given a photo of some Russian teenager 60 Minutes has connected to this. Dude looks like a million other teenagers you can find throughout Europe. She's convinced this is the guy she saw outside her house a decade ago. Just an absurdly unreliable identification.

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
