The truth is in there! After the recent New York Times story (week of Oct. 13th 2021) on the long lasting effects of microwave attacks on our diplomats. The Secret KGB UFO Files and The Secret KGB Paranormal Files should be watched carefully.

The worry was that these weapons were sold around the world after the dramatic changes in the USSR. There is little doubt that Vladimir Putin has these weapons, possibly improved versions.
For the careful viewer (try not to fall asleep) there is much more that is now more relevant. Comments by Stanton Friedman are pointed and very interesting. If the content was all hoax I don't think he would have bothered.
