They've been described as "sonic attacks" -- bizarre, unexplained head injuries that spurred the United States to bring home diplomatic staff from China and Cuba. Now scientists are saying the ailments could have been caused by microwave weapons.

González, held by Donato Dalrymple, right, was taken by federal agents from his Miami relatives April 22, 2000, to return to his father in Cuba. Díaz died on July 3, 2018. Credit: Alan Díaz/Associated Press Eighteen years ago, veteran Associated Press photographer Alan Díaz won a Pulitzer Prize for an image that marked a new era in Cuban American history. Authorities put González in the custody of Brotons Rodríguez’s extended family in Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood, but the boy’s father and the Cuban government protested. He talked about trying to win the trust of the family while still maintaining his objectivity. It was 4 a.m. when a colleague gave him the signal that federal authorities were on their way to retrieve González. He quickly jumped from some bushes in the yard, ran through the front door and into the bedroom where Dalrymple and González were hiding in a closet. But not all journalists had Díaz’s sensitivity. That was a different cry and it really gets to you.” Painful, awkward, haunting as the photo was, it served as a symbol for a new era says Joe Garcia, who served as a US representative for Florida’s 26th District from 2013 to 2015. A boy should be with his father.” Related: Here's why US-Cuban relations are so important to all of us The perspectives and politics of Florida’s Cuban Americans have never been the same.

Cuba’s leader Raul Castro is making plans to step aside and for the first time in nearly 60 years, Cuba’s new leader is not from the Castro family. Here’s a look at Cuba's next president, Miguel Díaz-Canel. FOX News Channel…

The Associated Press has obtained a recording of what some U.S. Embassy workers heard in Havana, part of the series of unnerving incidents later deemed to be deliberate attacks. The recording, released Thursday by the AP, is the first disseminated publicly of the many taken in Cuba of sounds that led investigators initially to suspect a sonic weapon. The recordings from Havana have been sent for analysis to the U.S. Navy, which has advanced capabilities for analyzing acoustic signals, and to the intelligence services, the AP has learned. The Navy and the State Department did not respond to requests for comment on the recording. Not all Americans injured in Cuba heard sounds. Individuals who have heard the noise in Havana confirm the recordings are generally consistent with what they heard. Then there would be silence for a second, or 13 seconds, or four seconds, before the sound abruptly started again. All these peaks correspond to a different frequency," said Kausik Sarkar, an acoustics expert and engineering professor at The George Washington University who reviewed the recording with the AP. The recordings have been played for workers at the U.S. Embassy to teach them what to listen for, said several individuals with knowledge of the situation in Havana. The broad array of symptoms reported, including those not easily explained by sound waves, had led to questions of a possible microwave or radio wave device frying body tissue from afar.

CBS Lies Through Their Teeth About Cuba’s Hurricane Irma Preparedness. “Cuba normally gears up quickly for storms with constant advisories on TV and radio urging people to prepare. Alarmed by the forecasts at mid-week, these U.S.-based friends called their Cuba-based relatives to ask about their preparations for the hurricane… “What hurricane?” came the responses from Cuba. They hadn’t heard a thing about the looming catastrophe! Two months after enabling Matthews' visit to Castro, the same Castro agents planted in New York contacted CBS, who quickly dispatched their ace anchorman, Robert Taber, and a camera crew to Castro's camp in Cuba's Sierra Maestra Mountains. Regarding Castro's heart-warming and eye-misting plans for Cuba--nary a rebuttal was to be heard on this blockbuster CBS "investigative report." This time the already sainted Edward Murrow interviewed Fidel Castro on his CBS show "See it Now" from Havana. An (uncharacteristically) smiling Murrow tells Fidel’s son as the “interview” commences. For the record, Castro had no "home" to speak of at the time. Every night during the week that Murrow interviewed him, Fidel, Raul and Che repaired to their respective stolen mansions and met with Soviet GRU agents to button down the Stalinization of Cuba.

“Regarding the Arpaio pardon, I would have preferred that the President honor the judicial process and let it take its course,” Jeff Flake on Twitter. Well, this very judicial process also convicted a Cuban terrorist/spy named Gerardo Hernandez for –among other crimes--conspiracy to murder U.S. citizens. In fact, these convictions were upheld all the way to the Supreme Court. Yet Sen. Jeff Flake was a gleeful accessory to Obama’s pardon (by any other name) of this communist spy/murderer/terrorist and his release back to Cuba as a conquering hero. You see, amigos: among Castro’s demands for the privilege of being allowed to inflict brain damage, permanent hearing loss, and lord knows what else on U.S. diplomats while sheltering the FBI’s most-wanted cop-killers and while being deluged with $BILLIONS upon $BILLIONS of U.S. dollars by Obama--among the snickering Castro’s demands for enjoying this financial and propaganda windfall from Obama was Obama’s immediate release of his KGB-trained spy/terrorist/murderer Gerardo Hernandez—“and plenty pronto!” Needless to add, Obama granted every one of Castro’s demands with a smile, bow, and curtsy-- but frantically tried to keep his pathetic capitulations to Castro from the American people. And needless to add, the FAKE NEWS media did everything in their power to conceal his miserable grovelings to Castro from the American people. In February 1996, Castro agent Gerardo Hernandez fulfilled his spy-mission by passing the flight plan to Castro for one of the Brothers’ humanitarian flights. MiGs against Cessnas, cannons and rockets against flowers. An especially repulsive aspect of Obama’s appeasement of Castro is that for months prior to the release of the Castroite murderer, the families of the Americans he murdered were repeatedly assured by Obama’s State Dept. with their bald-faced lies and relentless treachery against U.S. citizens.
