    The NIH study into the mysterious illness has only stoked animosity among victims, some of whom claim the CIA made them participate as a prerequisite for obtaining care at Walter Reed.

    “They wanted us to be a lab rat for a week before we actually got treatment at Walter Reed — and at bare minimum that is unethical and immoral,” said Polymeropoulos, who believes that this was “ordered” by senior leadership at the agency.

    No diagnosis! Only treatment! only-throw

    I thought Russia was too poor to have paved roads, but you’re telling me they have a mystery ray gun that the US doesn’t have? Despite the US spending roughly 900 trillion dollars on the MIC?

    We were told that we could help overthrow Russia and collect a nice juicy medical pension early. Instead all we got was public humiliation and a future being unemployable elsewhere and unpromotable here! Waaaaaaaaaaah!

    Somehow a 1950s Catskills comedian does some topical 2024 standup.

    “So a man goes to the doctor with a problem.”

    “Man says 'Ya gotta help me, doc. My head hurts. I’m very frustrated that the CIA isn’t blaming Russia for my symptoms.”

    "Doctor says ‘I’m very familar with that. I’ve got something I can recommend.’ "

    "Man says ‘Thank you so much.’ And the doctor gives him a business card for the Interfaith Help Center.

    “Man says ‘What the heck is this?’ rudely.”

    "Doctor says ‘I’m a doctor. Not a rabbi.’ "
