This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Of course, if this were the result of some secret Russian beam weapon, "the US intelligence community" would probably want to keep our vulnerability under wraps. So, regardless of whether or not "Havana Syndrome" is the result of an attack, "the US intelligence community" is motivated to say it was not. And they're the adults in the room, they're the only authority on the matter.
This is part of why people are so receptive to conspiracy theories.
