The Nation Speaks (May 8): Havana Syndrome Mystery; Anti-Racism in Your Workplace; Free Speech vs Snitching
The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence wants answers about the mysterious “Havana Syndrome” a neurological sickness that hit U.S. embassy workers in Cuba and elsewhere. Was it a weapon? Who’s responsible? And how to treat dozens of sufferers?
We talk to Dr. Linda Birnbaum, former director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, who was appointed to a State Department-commissioned committee to investigate the phenomenon. She discusses what her committee did, and didn’t, find out.
We also talk to Gary Miliefsky, a founding member of the Department of Homeland Security and publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine. Miliefsky doesn’t think it’s mysterious at all and explains why he’s sure U.S. diplomats were targets of an ultrasonic weapon attack and why Cuba must be held accountable.

South Dakota farmer Arlen Foster continues to fight for a review of NRCS s wetlands determination for this puddle created from a tree belt s snow melt. NRCS determined a puddle resulting from tree line snowmelt constitutes a wetland.
Suggested Event
Jun 15, 2021 to Jun 17, 2021
A third-generation farmer filed a lawsuit against the USDA, saying the agency is unlawfully preventing him from farming one of his fields. In 2011, the Natural Resources Conservation Service ruled that a seasonal mud puddle on Arlen Foster’s farm is protected by federal law as a wetland.
Foster requested that the government revisit its designation of his mud puddle as a protected wetland in 2020. Despite new evidence to the contrary, the NRCS refused to reconsider the determination. Now Foster is suing over the unconstitutional conditions he says the agency is attaching to his participation in crop insurance and other federal programs.
(The Center Square) â A federal judge Wednesday vacated a national moratorium on evictions imposed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, following a trend of rulings issued by other federal judges in other states.
U.S. District Court Judge Dabney Friedrich ruled in an Alabama case that the CDC exceeded its authority by issuing a moratorium on evictions, first implemented in March 2020 and recently extended through June 30. The CDC claims the moratorium has helped millions of renters who lost their jobs due to state and economic shutdowns. Those who have filed suit argue the moratorium is unconstitutional and judges across the country agree.
