Cricket & Pinoccio's nose

For years we have been hearing creepy stories about Russia's propaganda machine, which by means of trolls and bots, Sputnik and RT almost brought our entire culture to collapse, if there weren't heroes who prevented this by sharp analysis. ...so far.
Nevertheless, our astute heroes seem to have simply overlooked an exemplary example of the spread of false news.
There are many parallels to some gas attacks in Syria or even to the #Skripal case. We are talking about Sonic Weapons in Cuba and China!
TIMELINE
Aug 9, 2017: US DOS H. Nauert told reporters that Americans serving in Cuba had returned to US for non life-threatening "medical reasons."

The event was more than half a year ago and already in May two Cuban diplomats were asked to leave the country. So why now?

What was probably new on this day was seemingly only the fact that Cuba had announced its own investigations.

Aug 10, 2017: RUSSIANS
As early as August 10th there was talk of "covert operation", "sonic weapons" and a 3rd country involved. One asked in the heading "Russia?" and on CNN ex-CIA R. Baer triggers probably the first tweet on the subject:
Aug 11-21, CANADIANS TOO:
Already the next day it was clear that Canadian embassy members were also affected. Tillerson went public. And finally John Sipher (Ex-CIA / Just Security) wrote: "Don't Rush to Conclusions!
He had many good arguments why all this is nonsense and...
...therefore suggested a "counterintelligence attack gone wrong".

Aug 23, HEALTH RECORDS:
On August 23rd, CBS somehow got the (secret) medical records. Steve Dirsey publicly stated that the situation regarding the affected diplomats is much worse than previously assumed.

Meanwhile, there was no doubt about a strange sonic weapon and The Hill and Dailymail even had almost the same headline:
Sep 23: ALMOST WAR
One month later there was another bang: CNN reported that it was not just one attack. It was almost 50 !!!!!!! (You see, there is a hidden war going on.)

Sep 29, EXPELLING DIPLOMATS part1:
Tillerson: "...the U.S. Department of State ordered the departure of nonemergency personnel assigned to the U.S.
Embassy in Havana, Cuba, as well as their families, in order to minimize the risk...

Oct 3, EXPELLING DIPLOMATS part2:
US orders 15 Cuban diplomats to leave.
AP: bit.ly/2DofWqR
NYT: nytimes.com/2017/10/03/wor…
AND NOW one heard the first cautious voices of doubt. A neurologist thought a mass hysteria may explain the "sonic attacks" and AP released a sound recording on Soundcloud:

CRICKETS!
Let's just cut to the chase:
Over 20 diplomats from 2 embassies 3 miles apart suffered permanent ears and nerve damage due to a sound but no one between these embassies was injured.

Really?
Doesn't it smell funny?
Oct 19-27: DOUBTS - MORE VICTIMS - CUBAS DEFENCE
After the first cautious doubts, new alleged victims were announced quickly. Two tourists thought they had also fallen victim to the insidious weapon.
Cuba's detailed defence was simply ignored in this insane atmosphere.
Nov 12-28: EXPLODING MOJITOS
The Anti-Cuba League is getting going. Despite the Cuban defense, the obvious cricket noise, the absurd geographical conditions and the reference to mass hysteria, the media now remembers the good old Cold War. politico.com/story/2017/11/…
Canadian victims speak out, again Russia was suspected, but the cracker:
The conspiracy nuts believe that the first of such an attack took place 30 years ago, when the Mojito exploded in the hand of a diplomat.

Dec 1: NO EVIDENCE
The expert who investigated the case finds no evidence. Instead, he finds 10 people who were in the same building at the same time on the same day without any injury. SkyNews pronounces the obvious: Crickets.

But even that is not the end of the mischief. At Towson University, in the Journal of International Affairs, people fantasize about the warfare of the future. bit.ly/2MkB2ZX
Tillerson, dissatisfied, orders a new investigation.

May 2018: CHINA TOO
The extent to which the nonsense spread by the mass media has burned its way into people's heads can be seen in May 2018 at the latest. Now also diplomats in China believe that they are attacked with an acoustic weapon.

Sep 12: NUTS GET'S OFFICAL
The DOJ and the CIA have intercepted extremely secret communications, they say. And they suspect RUSSIA.

Bingo!
nbcnews.com/news/latin-ame…
How is it possible for ~20 people in 2 different places to suffer alleged brain damage, while just as many people next to them have heard a sound at best?
...while thousands of residents between those places have heard nothing unusual? ...while experts find no indication?
There are diplomats expelled on a first suspicion, Russia is accused, crazy weapons are invented, the opinion of experts is wiped off the table by a "new investigation" and finally the CIA comes up with some top secret evidence, which of course nobody is allowed to see.
future weapon Crickets - valveless Cylinders - military grad Novichok

The pattern is the same.
