  2. Ah, “The Cricket on the Hearth”…I was always given to believe a cricket in your house meant luck.

  4. if anyone believes the crickets were the actual source for the diplomats’ headaches, nausea and hearing loss , I’ve got a bridge to sell you for a great price.

    1. ^That. I’m really curious as to why these crickets only caused harm to people in a few specific ( – and specifically, hostile to Cuba – ) embassies – cricketocide? And I seem to recall the USSR doing something like this to the U.S. embassy in Moscow, thirty-odd years ago; anybody else remember the specifics?

    2. If you had read the entire article you would have also read that doctors don’t believe the diplomats’ suffered any brain injuries at all.

      “serious doubt has been cast on whether U.S. “diplomats” in Cuba even suffered brain injuries at all. As the Guardian’s Science Editor, Ian Sample, reported in August: “Claims that US diplomats suffered mysterious brain injuries after being targeted with a secret weapon in Cuba have been challenged by neurologists and other brain specialists.”

      1. Cuban neurologists, or Russian?

        Like the Skripal case; “No we can PROVE that the Russians had NOTHING to do with it – it’s a British hatchet-job!” Maybe; but it’s precisely the sort of thing the Russians have done often before, so why would I believe they had nothing to do with it THIS time? “By their actions shall ye know them…”

    4. For Crissakes, these days people piss their pants at an “offensive” headlines.

      Their headaches are induced by their own effete silliness and the power of suggestion.

    5. yeah blaming the crickets is what sounds like a poorly fabricated lie in that long article.

      the article makes me now wonder if there is a new weapon but to make sure we do not know about it they are now saying it was only crickets

      kind of like when they say the men screaming “aluah akbar” while murdering innocents have nothing to do with islam or terror but were simply depressed or lonely sad men

      the cricket story seems to be the fake story to hide something else

      I am not saying I am 100% sure of it

      I am saying it seems like it could be the case

      1. or like when they invade a country to destroy weapons of massive destruction only to find there are none…

  5. Trudeau is very sure of winning another term the way he is outfitting the Harrington Lake “cottage”……sauna and heliport…what next will be on his list of goodies the middle class and those wishing to join it could never afford?
    When will the cost of these upgrades be divulged to those of us who are paying the tab?
    Has there been an environmental study done ?

  7. Once upon a time, CNN was a reasonably responsible news outlet. Sure they had Nancy Grace, who liked to leap to damning conclusions based on an unassailable belief in her ability to separate the good guys from the bad from scant evidence, but if you ignored her, CNN was okay.

    Now the entire network is starting to resemble Nancy Grace.

    1. What do you mean by starting? CNN has been off the deep end for over 3 years, competing with PMSNBC in its race to the far left, pushing viewers away. If one didn’t know better, CBC is exporting its vile message south

      1. Did you catch CNN’s report on how witches were offended by trumps use of the term”whitch hunt”.I guess goose chase would have offended geese.And how do we know those crickets weren’t planted by the Russians.Come on CNN get on it.

  8. Pete — There are thousands of young girls and boys that, in the last few years, have suddenly decided they have a new gender and are physically mutilating their bodies to achieve it … and you don’t think that an unusual sound could persuade a psychologically primed embassy staff and intelligence agents it’s the product of sinister motives?

    1. Kate, when speaking to the intellectually challenged and uncurious…………………………………………………

  9. Measuring microwave radiation is straightforward. You can buy microwave leakage detectors from Radio Shack. I’m sure there are much more sophisticated devices available.

    Was such detection carried out? If so, what were the results?

  11. I guess this gives new meaning to the phrase “That’s not cricket.”

  12. I love it.
    When asked for proof of their assertions, the CIA ; ” crickets”.
    Mass hysteria abounds.
    Figure our media heroes have ever done the whisper circle experiment?
    As for the 5Ws, not in their world.
    Assertions of brain damage amongst federal government employees…
    Um how would we know the difference?

  13. I suspect that, given another 10-20 years, the lifecycle of the AGW story will be substantially similar.

    “We see X happening, and we don’t know what it is…but we are afraid it could be really bad.”
    “We see X still happening, and we suspect it’s rooted in something very evil….” (for AGW, capitalism)
    “Oh….It’s a natural process.” (Switch focus of panic to another issue…)

    The weather may change, but human nature (esp. on the Left) never does.

  15. from the link:
    ” into believing Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz’s fairy tales about Iraqi WMDs and”

    uhuh. *and guess which blog with a roadkill logo was rife with praise and adoration and
    lockstep belief in these two LIARS*.

    1. Iraq WMD were never a fairy tale, they had them and used them. How many they had destroyed vs hidden was in question, and it was a question Hans Blitz also was skeptical of when he scorched Iraq for their non-compliance and evasiveness in his December 2002 report to the UN.

      That he included a Bush admin drive-by in a story about an embassy in Cuba is just standard operating procedure. Which you should have figured out for yourself, given it’s Glenn Greenwald.

      1. Every Iraqi the invading Americans encountered swore there were WMD’s. Farmers swore their livestock and crops were affected because they were buried in the fields.

      2. Kate, when Bagdad fell there a report of finding Sadam, then retracted, and it was a room under the river next to one of Sadam’s “palaces. That was actually a fully function nuke lab. They also found yellow cake. There were 5000 old chem war heads. And truck loads of shit when to Syria. In 2003 the Norks had started to build that nuke plant in Syria, the one Israel bombed in 2007 . Sounds like Iraq and Syria had a joint effort going!

        And a hgrman company was building chem plants in Syria and Iraq, fertilizer plants, which are dual use

      3. I may still have the links in my old PC

        There were WMDs

        I have links to articles in 2 or 3 different media ( if memory serves even the New York Times admited there were WMDs ) where they say England and the USA will destroy remaining WMDs

        those articles were published about 4 – 5 years AFTER everyone was saying there were no WMDs

        There were probably less than was initially believed but there wee some, that is a total complete certainty

        1. – And didn’t “Chemical Ali” stretch hemp after they caught him? Something about 5,000+ dead Kurds in Halabja, along with a whole bunch of others, wasn’t it?

          – or was that just “winners writing history books” again?

      4. I think there were 500 tons of yellow cake shipped through Montreal for disposal. I do not recall just where it was disposed of.
