Catherine Herridge Drops Bombshell Report Finally Exposing Massive CIA ‘Cover-Up’
A former CIA officer, using the alias “Alice,” has come forward in a gripping interview with Catherine Herridge, alleging a massive government cover-up surrounding mysterious injuries inflicted by directed energy weapons. These attacks, officially referred to as “anomalous health incidents” (AHIs) and colloquially called “Havana Syndrome,” have left hundreds of U.S. intelligence, diplomatic, and military personnel debilitated, both abroad and domestically.
Alice, who now requires a service dog due to her injuries, shared harrowing details of the attack she experienced while serving in Africa. “I heard a weird noise. It was a really weird sound that I’ll never forget it. And after about a second or two, I felt it in my feet, kind of like the reverb from a speaker,” she recounted. The symptoms were immediate and severe: vertigo, head and ear pressure, and ringing in her ears, which evolved into traumatic brain injuries and cognitive difficulties.
Alice’s condition has rendered her medically retired in her 40s, a far cry from her former role managing high-stakes national security missions. “I was paid for my brain. I was paid for my ability to write well and to write for the president,” she said, visibly emotional. “I was paid to meet with foreigners and to get information that would help advance U.S. security objectives. I can’t do that anymore the way I used to.”
The CIA’s response—or lack thereof—has been central to Alice’s claims. When Herridge asked if the intelligence community was deliberately obstructing congressional investigations into these incidents, Alice did not mince words: “It’s a cover-up, and it should be terrifying to all Americans.”
She accused the CIA of gaslighting victims, saying, “It was designed to make us think we’re crazy and question our own injuries.” According to Alice, this deliberate obfuscation has left victims without proper care or acknowledgment, despite evidence suggesting foreign adversaries like Russia or China may be responsible.
A leaked Defense Department letter corroborates these injuries as “real,” contradicting the intelligence community’s controversial position that foreign involvement is “very unlikely.” Alice said this disconnect highlights internal political motivations to downplay the severity of the incidents, possibly to protect recruitment and retention within the CIA.
A recent congressional report found it “increasingly likely” that a foreign adversary orchestrated these attacks. Many of the victims, like Alice, were assigned portfolios involving Russian interests, cybersecurity, or election interference. Herridge referenced intelligence about high-powered microwave weapons, which could target individuals from a distance, potentially explaining the symptoms experienced by victims.
Despite CIA Director William Burns privately acknowledging the likelihood of Russian involvement, Alice criticized the agency for adopting politically palatable conclusions. “If they’re politicizing this, what else are they not telling the president?” she asked, calling the situation “terrifying.”
The fallout for victims extends beyond physical suffering. Alice revealed that seeking medical care has cost her over $100,000 out-of-pocket, as many treatments are experimental and not covered by insurance. She described her condition as a “full-time job” to manage, compounded by bureaucratic hurdles in accessing benefits under the Havana Act.
Adding to the indignity, Alice said the CIA revoked her security clearance after her medical retirement, citing “psychological conditions,” which she and her lawyers view as retaliation. Female officers, she noted, were often dismissed with sexist stereotypes, such as being told their symptoms might be due to hormones or menopause.
Her hope lies in a potential Trump-Vance administration, which she believes might enact meaningful reforms. “The phrase cleaning up the swamp is thrown around a lot in DC, but at a bare minimum, I do not believe that those people that were involved in the earlier report should be allowed to touch this. I think they need to actually recuse themselves or should be replaced.”
