NEWS ALERT: @MarkSZaidPC reps more than 2 doz federal #AHI victims & family members. Below is our statement in response to IC Assessment findings issued today.

We already have #FOIA litigation to compel release of report & @ODNIgov must update Court by March 20th.

2/Full statement reads:

"My firm represents more than two dozen federal AHI victims from within the Intelligence, Military, Law Enforcement and Diplomatic communities who experienced incidents domestically and overseas....

3/This also includes minor children of our dedicated workforce who are also victims of these AHIs. Our representation started a decade ago.

The latest U.S. intelligence assessment lacks transparency and we continue to question the accuracy of the alleged findings....

4/From the origins of these incidents dating back five decades, AHIs occur in the intelligence shadows that shield them from the view of the public. Until the shrouds of secrecy are lifted and the analysis that led to today's assertions are available ...

5/... and subject to proper challenge, the alleged conclusions are substantively worthless. But the damage it has caused to the morale of the victims, particularly by deflecting from the government's failure to evaluate all the evidence, is real and must be condemned.

6/It is inconceivable based on an overwhelming number of unanswered questions that today's report will serve as the last word. These questions include the need to explain existing evidence of technical anomalies at the time of suspected incidents, reliable evidence ...

7/...of deliberate uninvestigated surveillance and counterintelligence incidents involving AHI intelligence victims and an examination of the high numbers of concerning cancer and other deaths of affected personnel, especially among those who served or worked in Moscow....

8/Today’s intelligence assessment is also at odds with private investigations into known movement of foreign intelligence officers in locations where AHIs contemporaneously occurred.

To be clear, the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

9/Indeed, @NSAGov wrote in 2014 that it was aware of intelligence information that a hostile country had “a high-powered microwave system weapon that may have the ability to weaken, intimidate, or kill an enemy over time and WITHOUT LEAVING EVIDENCE.” (emphasis added).

10/The full intelligence assessment is already the subject of existing #FOIA litigation brought by my firm for @JMadisonProject & @BrianKarem. @ODNIgov is required to inform the Court by March 20, 2023, as to the status of when a copy of the report will be publicly released.

11/To its credit, notwithstanding today's IC assessment, @DeptofDefense & @StateDept have acknowledged its solid support for the victims, and especially their care. We implore all federal agencies with victims to ensure top-of-the line and long-term health care treatment ...

12/...is freely and timely made available to them and their families, as well as award proper compensation for injuries that for some have ended their careers in the line of service."

I, for one, would like to know what this @CIA slide from approx 1971 means.

This tweet thread on why #HavanaSyndrome is NOT the proper term to be used. FACT: these AHI incidents started long before 2016.

END/What is most important to remember is that there are actual victims and USG must ensure their health & well-being are addressed - without question.

We will continue the fight.
