Directed energy attacks? Sonic beams? Psychogenic illness? We explore the set of symptoms that have become a national security & media obsession generating a tenuous theory about a weapon wielded by a foreign power — Russian, Cuban, or possibly Chinese. We take a look at the media's role and the scientific community's reaction with guest Natalie Shure, a columnist for the New Republic who’s also written for The Nation, Jacobin, The Prospect and Buzzfeed. She’s been covering the phenomenon consistently since it first manifested a few years ago. This episode also contains coverage of the Dallas event at which JFK, JFK Jr, and other celebrities like Robin Williams were expected by a group of gematria-obsessed QAnon believers. Finally, the episode contains the origin story of Jake Rockatansky's Flynn character — and why he sounds a whole lot like Sean Connery. ↓↓↓↓ SUBSCRIBE FOR $5 A MONTH SO YOU DON'T MISS THE SECOND WEEKLY EPISODE ↓↓↓↓ https://www.patreon.com/QAnonAnonymous Follow Natalie Shure: http://twitter.com/nataliesurely Our first QAA records release: 'Hikikomori Lake' by Nick Sena is available to listen for free at http://qaarecords.bandcamp.com (12 original tracks) QAA Merch / Join the Discord Community / Find the Lost Episodes / Etc: https://qanonanonymous.com Episode music by Nick Sena (http://nicksenamusic.com) & Lake Radio (https://lakeradio.bandcamp.com)
