AJ is a former CIA operative and Naval Academy physics graduate who served as chief of station in Southeast Asia before experiencing what he describes as a deliberate directed energy weapon attack in fall 2021. A Marine officer for five years before joining CIA, AJ had an elite career spanning Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and headquarters assignments, with fluency in Russian and Czech.

The interview covers the historical context of directed energy weapons, from the 1953-1979 Moscow Signal that targeted the U.S. Embassy for 25 years to Russian research on the Frey effect and DIA reports on stopping frog hearts with microwaves. AJ's account reveals not just the physical attack but the institutional betrayal that followed, as CIA's analytical cell systematically denied benefits, altered medical records, and threatened to lie to Congress to protect the organization.

Drawing wisdom from First Peter about finding hope through trials and referencing The Merchant of Venice that 'the truth doth out,' AJ's testimony exposes a pattern of cover-up spanning multiple administrations while revealing the devastating personal cost of serving in America's shadow wars.

Historical Context: Decades of Directed Energy Research

Moscow Signal operated for 25 years (1953-1979), radiating U.S. Embassy with microwaves while Projects Bazaar and Pandora secretly studied biological effects on monkeys and embassy personnel without their knowledge.

Ambassador Stossel experienced 'blood out of his eyes' from radiation exposure, and three ambassadors died of leukemia along with multiple officers developing rare blood disorders.

Russian scientist in 2003 presented research at European symposium on using microwaves to disrupt autonomic nervous system - the exact condition AJ was later diagnosed with.

U.S. developed weapon systems in 1990s termed 'hello, goodbye, and good night' based on intended effects, while Project Medusa worked on voice-to-skull technology until discontinued in 2008 due to brain damage concerns.

The Attack: Southeast Asia, Fall 2021

At 0455, AJ woke to crushing sensation and heard mechanical slide whistle sound shooting through his head: 'It sounded like a mechanical slide whistle... started low and went high' followed by soft pop and overpressure wave.

Complete muscle paralysis occurred with eyes open: 'I felt every single muscle in my body lock up... all of the air in my lungs was pushed out' - attack felt like being electrocuted.

Second attack at 0138 caused chemical burn sensation from wrists to elbows, followed by scraping sounds behind bedroom wall and furniture moving above.

Another U.S. personnel experienced identical symptoms one week prior at different hotel, describing mixture of 'Dyson vacuum cleaner and jet engine getting ready for takeoff' before complete balance loss.

U.S. security found non-sourced ionizing radiation in affected rooms - radiation present but no identifiable source, mirroring historical incidents at Moscow's Spasso House.

Medical Devastation: From Elite Operator to Third-Grade Function

Blood drawn 8.5 hours post-attack showed brain injury biomarkers elevated 3x normal levels - 'Those biomarkers tend to reach their peak 24 hours post-injury and are removed from your body 48 hours after.'

Cognitive testing revealed 19th percentile neurological function, reading at third-grade level six months post-attack, unable to complete simple 200-piece puzzle despite methodical effort.

Physical symptoms included complete loss of night vision, eyes fighting each other vertically and horizontally, inability to drive for 1.5 years, and balance issues requiring wall support in hallways.

Diagnosed with dysautonomia (POTS) - autonomic nervous system malfunction causing 30-50 beat heart rate elevation and blood pressure irregularities, with 1-in-3 people at his severity level housebound.

Complete emotional flatness and inability to recognize emotions in others: 'This person would be crying, and I'd say they're happy' - lost connection to wife despite intact memories.

Institutional Betrayal: CIA's Systematic Cover-Up

Analytical cell member warned AJ: 'We're going to be pushing out an interim report... there's a good chance we're going to cover this up... I'm being asked to choose between the building and the people.'

CIA forced AJ to book own medevac travel while non-functional, with friends stepping in unofficially to arrange transportation and medical care when organization failed to provide support.

After six months, given four choices: return full-time, part-time with no benefits, personal leave, or quit - despite being unable to drive or attend meetings safely.

Analytical cell refused workers' compensation stating 'we'll never support it because you won't hit two out of the five criteria... we won't tie this to a work-related incident.'

Security officers interrogated AJ after heated meeting, admitting their purpose: 'people were concerned that you were upset enough to go to... Congress oversight... or go to the press. And we just want to remind you that you can't do any of those.'

Medical Records Manipulation and Threats

CIA analytical cell called Walter Reed demanding all medical records including mental health files, threatening to 'send security to my house' if hospital didn't comply.

Walter Reed physician admitted being 'scared' and 'frightened' of pressure from CIA: 'I'm afraid to write down what needs to be written down in your report.'

CIA held meetings with Walter Reed every other week, with hospital admitting to 'receiving guidance from the agency on what to say and what to write in our medical records.'

CIA explained AJ's case to White House as 'very rare and debilitating preexisting condition that was discovered at Walter Reed' - a complete fabrication with no prior medical history.

Multiple analytical cell members stated they would 'willingly lie directly to Congress in order to protect the organization because the organization must be protected at all costs.'

Government Reports and Timeline of Deception

2020 National Academy of Sciences concluded 'directed energy pulse microwave was a most likely cause' for Havana syndrome cases, but 2022 CIA interim report claimed 'not the result of a foreign adversary's global campaign.'

IC experts panel reaffirmed 2020 findings just 10 days after CIA report, stating 'pulsed electromagnetic energy, particularly in the radio frequency range, plausibly explains the core characteristics.'

NIH study published in JAMA claiming no evidence was later canceled due to 'coercion of participants' found by internal review board, yet article remains published.

Pentagon purchased backpack-sized directed energy device with Russian components for eight figures in late 2024, yet January 2025 ICA still claimed no foreign adversary involvement.

House Intelligence Committee found CIA's ICA 'lacked analytical integrity' and 'obstructed HIPSCI's investigation,' concluding 'a foreign adversary was likely behind some of the incidents.'

Recovery and Alternative Treatments

AJ spent one-third to half of annual retirement on out-of-pocket treatments including Equascope, Neurogen Brain Balancing, V-cell stem cells, and frequency-specific modulation.

Chicago clinic revealed AJ was reading at third-grade level and was 90-180 degrees off in spatial orientation tests, but could produce exceptional visual representations of verbal descriptions.

After first Equascope treatment, AJ experienced dramatic improvement: 'everybody's faces were different... I could actually recognize faces and a little bit of emotion... it was like, oh my goodness, you're people.'

Current assessment places AJ at 70-75% cognitive function on good days for 1-2 hours, dropping with engagement, and 30-35% physical capacity compared to pre-attack baseline.

Faith and Finding Purpose Through Trials

At lowest point with 'nothing left to give,' AJ realized 'the one thing you should have been doing... You give thanks' - transforming his perspective on suffering and loss.

Drawing from First Peter, AJ explains trials serve to 'refine some of our weak points so that we're complete' and 'strip away any connections we have to worldly kind of distractions.'

Referencing The Merchant of Venice, AJ maintains hope that truth will emerge: 'if our Shakespeare has taught us anything, the truth doth out' despite institutional cover-ups.

AJ distinguishes biblical hope from worldly hope: 'You put your hope in the living hope, which is the gospel and Christ and the salvation that's being held for us.'
