Supervisors of Navy Yard Gunman Were Told of Issues



The Hewlett-Packard investigation provided new details about episodes in early Augustwhere Mr. Alexis claimed that he was being followed and was hearing voices sent by a “microwave machine.”
The episodes began on Aug. 4 at an airport in Norfolk, Va., where Mr. Alexis got into an argument with a family that he thought was mocking him. According to the Hewlett-Packard investigation, Mr. Alexis called a project coordinator at the Experts and told her that he was becoming angry because people were making fun of him. She tried to calm him down and told him to get away from the people, the investigation found.
After he reached his destination, Newport, R.I., Mr. Alexis continued to complain that the family was following him. He complained of hearing loud voices in his hotel room, though hotel employees could not hear them, knocked on doors in search of the noise and changed hotels. He called the Newport police and told them he was being followed. On Aug. 7, an employee of the Experts called the hotel and said they were bringing Mr. Alexis home because he was “unstable,” hotel logs show.
On Aug. 9, the director of human resources for the Experts spoke to Mr. Alexis’ mother, who told the director of his previous paranoid behavior, the person with knowledge of the investigation said. His mother told the director that Mr. Alexis’ paranoia tended to subside with time, but that “he likely needed to see a therapist.”
That same day, the director convened a meeting of “senior-level personnel” at the Experts who concluded that he could be sent back to work. The Hewlett-Packard investigation found that the Experts did not attempt to get Mr. Alexis to seek mental health care, a finding that the Experts has not disputed.
...
Mr. Alexis did visit a Department of Veterans Affairs medical center in Providence, R.I., on Aug. 23, the veterans department said, but he did not mention hearing voices and complained only of having trouble sleeping. He did not receive mental health counseling, the department said. 

Mike Nova comments: 
Investigate the investigators!
IMVHAPO: A.A. was definitely under FBI surveillance due to the nature of his job. The description of the above episode sounds as the "behavioral provocation" technique (possibly combined with "psychopharmacological provocation", e.g. "truth serum" and other substances, e.g. amphetamines, which might by themselves cause brief psychotic episodes) that FBI apparently practices. Ask them to release all their records on A.A. in their entirety. The problem is that they do not keep or they destroy the records! Investigate this episode in depth and find out if any FBI agents were involved in performing this "behavioral provocation" and interview them. The largest part of the problem is that the FBI's subjects of "behavioral provocations" which might by themselves cause brief psychotic episodes and reactive psychosis (!), may become in turn the targets of foreign intelligence services which pursue and develop these situations for their own purposes, using the FBI as "cat paws", with or without the moles involved. 
This, of course, is a very serious issue which is in want of sophisticated investigation beyond the scope or in addition to the FBI's own investigation. And we do remember that the Navy does conduct its own. 
The same line of thought might apply to the subsequent episodes: M. Carey was most likely under the FBI surveillance because she had some overvalued or delusional thoughts about "Obama communicating  with her" and the "behavioral provocation" could have been practiced with her also. 
With the self-immolation episode, we simply do not have enough information at this point. 
By the way, the little Snow White was also most definitely under the FBI surveillance, and we do not know how aggressive it was. Was she driven to her inexcusable and treacherous act by the same type of "behavioral provocations" which went overboard and enraged her; with this situation instigated, provoked and "cat pawed" by her today handlers? 
All this does open the general issue: what is the scientific or at least some "evidence based" foundation of these "techniques" and are they not, in fact counterproductive, vicious, malicious and "double crossing"? Who was the author(s) of these "techniques", how were they developed, how are they used and/or misused, why the proper records were not and are not kept on them, how broadly are they used these days and what are the degrees of risks and dangers that they pose to the national security? 
My Dear Sirs! With all the most sincere and due respect: putting aside for the moment all the ethical and moral issues, please present at least one scientifically based (for example some outcome studies, large scale or small scale; well processed statistically) piece or shred of evidence that these techniques work. I doubt that you will be able to do this. And unless you are able to do this, it means that you are practicing witchcraft and witch hunts,  in addition to practicing medicine or anti-medicine, so to speak, without a license. In addition, besides the issue of efficiency, there is an issue of cost-efficiency, and I did have a chance to write about it in one of my previous posts: I suspect that these "procedures", in addition to being simply inefficient, are also very and unduly, unjustifiably expensive, which, especially in today's climate, is definitely quite an important consideration. And last, but most definitely not least, the considerations of vulnerability in counterintelligence matters, as was described above, and also mentioned above ethical and moral aspects are also very much a part of the picture. 
Open up all the records in their entirety  that still exist and/or were not destroyed yet on this subject, FBI; share them with the public and come clean; this is too serious to sweep it under the rug. Apparently, for some obvious "self preservation" reasons you are not capable of dealing with this in honest and in depth. Let American public and society help you with it. You are not the KGB, but one of this country's most venerable and great institutions.
We cannot escape to face and to deal with these issues. This is not the question of "sharing the pie"; it would be very primitive, selfish and self-serving way of looking at this problem. This is the question of finding out and establishing the truth, not for the sake of a pretty phrase, but for the sake of its healing and "orthopedic" value.

Substance-Induced Psychotic Disorder

Specific Substances
Psychotic Disorders can occur in association with intoxication with the following classes of substances: alcohol; amphetamine and related substances; cannabis; cocaine; hallucinogens; inhalants; opioids (meperidine); phencyclidine and related substances; sedatives, hypnotics, and anxiolytics; and other or unknown substances.

There is clear evidence from these studies that, irrespective of the individual’s mental state, a large enough dose of a stimulant drug can produce a brief psychotic reaction, usually lasting only hours and being self-limiting in the majority of individuals.
... 
The findings of this review indicate that stimulant use can result in a short-lived psychotic reaction, more pronounced in those with pre-existing psychotic symptoms. This reaction is unaffected by antipsychotic medication.

A "truth serum" is a colloquial name for any of a range of psychoactive medications used to obtain information from subjects who are unable or unwilling to provide it otherwise. Wikipedia

Radios that failed in Navy Yard shooting used in Cumberland County

September 28, 2013 7:15 am  •  































In the wake of the shooting incident at the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 16, issues with the Cumberland County radio system, which Carlisle borough recently voted to transfer to, and is manufactured by the same company as the ones used in Washington, have started to come to light.
Greg Russell, the president of the union that represents civilian Navy firefighters in the Washington, D.C., region, said during the shooting incident faulty radios hindered communication.
Former Navy reservist Aaron Alexis killed 12 people at the Navy Yard before being slain in a police shootout.
Russell said the problems prevented firefighters inside Building 197, where the shooting occurred, from communicating with each other and were so bad that the department had to send one of its officials outside the building to transmit messages and commands.
The portable radios used in that incident were Harris Corp. M/A-COM P7100 and P7200’s, he said, which are manufactured by the same company that Cumberland County uses for their radio communications.
While they are the same manufacturer, Cumberland County Public Information Officer, Megan Silverstrim, said comparing the two systems would be like comparing apples and oranges.
While the system in Washington is a P25 operating systems, Cumberland County uses an Open Sky System, she said. Both are manufactured by the Harris Corp. but operate on different wavelengths. The counties Open Sky system operates on 800 megahertz, which allows interoperability between agencies, which Silverstrim said would be an issue with the P25 system, which operates on 380 megahertz.
“To compare the two, yeah it is the same company, but it is like having AT&T as your cellphone provider and the difference between using an iPhone versus an Android,” she said.
The systems may be different, but the portable radios themselves are the same, both officials confirmed. Currently the county uses the P7200 models, amongst others, for several agencies. With the transition from the Carlisle dispatch center to county services, she said Carlisle Police would most likely be buying a newer model radio manufactured by the same company.
“It is hard for us to compare the two systems and how that would impact us here since it is a completely different system. The portable may be the same, but the portable isn’t what is going to cause a radio failure, it is going to be the system. When you can’t get cellphone service, it is not your cellphone’s fault, it is your carrier’s fault. The portable itself can be used on various systems ... We do use the same portable but we operate on a completely different system,” she said.
Russell said he would not recommend the system for any responders, including fire and police, because the issues with communication, issues with the mayday or distress buttons and failures with batteries, which were identified since they began using the radios in 2007.
“What we identified many years ago, you would be in a building and not be able to transmit to the outside of the building, or you could be on two sides of the same building, on the exterior and sometimes you could not transmit or receive from party to party,” he said. “I’ve been asked by several agencies in the last two weeks if I would recommend this radio and I would not recommend these for a dog catcher. Anybody in public safety I would urge them to stay away from it. If law enforcement is using it, a police officer does not have time to go back and forth to an exterior door, they aren’t there in the same conditions the firefighters are. They are combatants a lot of times. And when you are in a building and you are getting the snot whipped out of you and you can’t get a tower, you can’t get a signal, the game is over, you’ve already lost.”
He said the potential loss of life is high with the system.
The firefighters were ultimately able to use the radio system of local first responders, Russell said. He said the problems caused unnecessary delays, though it was not clear what effect those delays may have had.
Silverstrim said the county has been using the system for fire and EMS agencies for years with no major issues.
“We have had major incidents in the county, not as catastrophic as the shooting at the Navy Yard, but we have had incidents where there have been lots of radio communication and it has performed very well. A radio system does not exist that is 100 percent,” she said. “We are always looking to make sure that our radio system is secure. We have all sorts of redundancies in place to make sure that there aren’t any catastrophic failures.”
The FBI is still investigating why Alexis, a 34-year-old former Navy reservist and an information technology contractor with a history of mental health problems, entered the building Monday morning with a bag, emerged from a bathroom with a sawed-off shotgun and opened fire on workers. The shooting has prompted reviews into military security and employee screening programs.
Carlisle Police did not return a call for comment on the new proposed radio system for the agency.

Russian Foreign Ministry Criticizes Viktor Bout's U.S. Court Decision

TEXT SIZE 
The Russian Foreign Ministry has criticized the decision by a U.S. appeals court on September 27 to uphold the conviction and prison sentence of Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout.

In a statement issued on September 28, the ministry said that the U.S. "legal machine once again rubber-stamped an obvious political stitch-up job despite the obvious weakness of the body of evidence."

Bout was convicted in 2011 of conspiracy to kill Americans and sentenced to 25 years in prison.

He was arrested in 2008 in Thailand in an international sting operation after he agreed to sell arms to U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents, whom he believed were members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), to use against U.S. forces.

Washington has designated FARC a terrorist organization.

Bout's case has strained relations between Washington and Moscow.

"Also on Thursday, a spokeswoman for the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office in Washington, D.C., confirmed to NBC News that an autopsy had been completed on Alexis' body and his remains had been released. She declined, however, to say who claimed the body or provide the results of the autopsy. "
Mike Nova: Autopsy results might provide info on: 1. Toxicology: illicit or prescribed drugs 2. Any "gross" (detectable on autopsy) physical, organs and tissue pathology. The subtle ones, especially related to mental illness might be undetectable. The results of autopsy should be released or provided as soon as they are available and hopefully should be high quality: performed by experienced pathologist. 
The questions  and issues recorded by me, at least partially,  in Part 1 of this review remain. I will try to summarise them: 
1. Psychological Autopsy: all available records and info from the interviews should be reviewed and summarised. 
2. Blank spots should be filled, e.g. events and connections around August 8, 2013 stay in a Newport Marriott hotel. 

3. Prevention measures, including screenings and various testings, designed empirically and specifically for this purpose, on a large scale; with continuous assessments of their practical validity and efficiency.
If I can be of any help, feel free to contact me.

Ex-Soldier Became Contract Killer, Authorities Say



His nickname was Rambo. He was a sergeant in the Army, and he trained soldiers to be snipers. But after leaving the military in 2004, the authorities say, he put his skills to work in a less honorable way: earning a living as a contract killer.
This past spring, the onetime sergeant, Joseph Hunter, 48, and two other former soldiers agreed to murder an agent of the United States Drug Enforcement Administration and one of that agency’s confidential informers, both in Liberia, for a total of $800,000, federal prosecutors said on Friday in Manhattan.
The plot had been proposed by men who held themselves out as Colombian drug traffickers, an indictment says.
“My guys will handle it,” Mr. Hunter wrote in an e-mail on May 30, responding to a question as to whether his team would be willing to carry out the killings, the indictment charges.
In fact, the authorities said, the purported drug traffickers were confidential sources for the D.E.A. and part of an undercover sting operation that ultimately led to the arrests of Mr. Hunter and two others: another former American Army sergeant, Timothy Vamvakias, 42, and a former German corporal, Dennis Gogel, 27. All three were charged with conspiracy to murder the agent and the informer, as well as conspiring to import cocaine into the United States.
Two other men, Michael Filter, 29, and Slawomir Soborski, 40, who served in the German and Polish militaries, respectively, have also been arrested and charged in the drug trafficking conspiracy, prosecutors said. They are awaiting extradition from Estonia, the authorities said.
“The charges tell a tale of an international band of mercenary marksmen who enlisted their elite military training to serve as hired guns for evil ends,” Preet Bharara, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York, said at a news conference on Friday.
Mr. Bharara described the charges with Derek Maltz, who heads the D.E.A.’s special operations division.
Mr. Hunter referred to contract assassinations euphemistically as “bonus work” or “bonus jobs,” the indictment says, adding that he told the confidential informers that he had done such work before. Mr. Bharara said Mr. Hunter had successfully arranged for the murders “of numerous people,” though he did not name them.
The indictment says that Mr. Hunter began collecting résumés for prospective members of his so-called security team, which had planned to use pistols and submachine guns, with silencers, to carry out the murders. Mr. Gogel told one of the drug agency informers that the murders could be made to resemble an ordinary street crime, “like a bad robbery or anything, you know,” the indictment says.
Mr. Hunter told co-conspirators that they would be working for a Colombian cartel and that they could expect to “see tons of cocaine and millions of dollars,” the indictment says. They would also have the opportunity to participate in assassinations, he told them, according to the indictment. “Most of the bonus work is up close ... because in the cities ... you don’t get long-range shots,” the indictment quotes him as saying.
Part of an escape plan involved the use of sophisticated latex face masks that would make the wearer appear to be of another race, the indictment said.
Mr. Vamvakias, describing the proposed murders of the D.E.A. agent and the informer, was quoted in the indictment as saying, “You know, we gotta do this, hit it hard, hit it fast, make sure it’s done,” and then leave.
“That’s the biggest headache,” he added. “The job’s not the headache; it’s getting in and out.”
Mr. Hunter was taken into custody in Thailand, Mr. Bharara said, and was to be arraigned in Manhattan on Saturday. Mr. Vamvakias and Mr. Gogel were each sent to the United States from Liberia and arraigned on Thursday, when they were ordered detained and entered not guilty pleas, the authorities said.
Mr. Vamvakias’s lawyer, Bobbi C. Sternheim, said, “We are prepared to vigorously defend” against the charges. Mr. Gogel’s lawyer, Edward D. Wilford, declined to comment.
The case, with its use of confidential informers posing as drug traffickers, had echoes of other D.E.A. international sting operations, like the one in 2008 that ensnared the Russian arms trafficker Viktor Bout, who was brought to the United States and tried and convicted in 2011.
Mr. Bharara and Mr. Maltz made it clear that the drug agency had had its eye on Mr. Hunter for some time. After learning about him through a different investigation, Mr. Bharara said, the agency decided “to do something to incapacitate him.”
Mr. Maltz said the operation had lasted close to a year. He said the goal was to “be able to take these threats out before something bad happens.”

Documents released by the government on Wednesday detail search warrants obtained as part of the investigation. In a backpack Mr. Alexis carried into the navy yard, he had a flash drive, an external hard drive and several compact discs. At his hotel, the authorities found a laptop in his room.
At the Pentagon on Wednesday, Ashton B. Carter, the deputy defense secretary, told reporters that the military had started three reviews of its security procedures in response to the shooting. The reviews will examine potential flaws in base security, background investigations and other areas that could have allowed the navy yard shooting to occur. Mr. Alexis was granted a midlevel security clearance in 2007 while he was a reservist that allowed him to obtain a special card giving him access to military bases for The Experts.
“The bottom line is, we need to know how an employee was able to bring a weapon and ammunition onto a D.O.D. installation and how warning flags were either missed, ignored or not addressed in a timely manner,” Mr. Carter said.

Автора книги "Американский снайпер", одного из самых опасных снайперов в истории США, Криса Кайла застрелили в тире в маленьком техасском городке.
Четыре раза он побывал в Ираке, где принимал участие в боевых операциях и получил множество правительственных наград.
"Я отправился на войну не для того, чтобы рассматривать свои мишени как людей. Мне не интересно было знать, есть ли у них семьи или дети", - признался в 2012 году Кайл в интервью журналу Time.
Первой его жертвой была иракская женщина, в одиночку вышедшая с гранатой в руке навстречу американским морпехам.

Только в одной Фаллудже он убил 40 человек.Официально на его счету 160 застреленных иракцев, хотя сам он утверждал, что убил не менее 255 человек.

Ни об одном совершенном убийстве Кайл в итоге не жалел, и в отвечал в интервью, что "все убитые были плохими людьми".

Иракское сопротивление прозвало его "Дьяволом".

Криса "Дьявола" застрелил бывший сослуживец, такой же бессовестный наёмник, как и сам Кайл...

"A puzzle inside of an enigma wrapped in a mystery"


Eddie Ray Routh, Accused of Killing Chris Kyle, ‘American Sniper,’ Had Troubled Past

Eddie Ray Routh, accused of killing Chris Kyle, the author of “American Sniper,” had been released from a hospital over his parents’ objections just days before the shooting, his lawyers said.

On the morning of Monday, September 16, 2013, shooter Aaron Alexis arrived at the Washington Navy Yard in Southeast, Washington, D.C. Alexis had legitimate access to the Navy Yard as a result of his work as a contractor and he utilized a valid pass to gain entry to Building #197.
Shortly after his arrival in the building and over the course of approximately one hour, Alexis used the Remington 870 shotgun and a Beretta handgun he obtained during the course of his shooting to kill 12 victims and wound four surviving victims before he was shot and killed by law enforcement officers. Investigation to date has determined that Alexis acted alone.

Through information and evidence gathered in interviews, searches, and other investigative activity, investigators and analysts have gained a greater understanding of the recent movements and activities of deceased Washington Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis. Details

Law Enforcement Shares Findings of the Investigation into the Washington Navy Yard Shootings 

FBI WashingtonSeptember 25, 2013
  • Public Information Office(202) 278-3519
WASHINGTON—Today, law enforcement officials shared findings to date of the investigation into the shootings that occurred at the Washington Navy Yard on Monday, September 16, 2013.
The developments were announced by Valerie Parlave, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office; Cathy L. Lanier, Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department; Michael Monroe, Special Agent in Charge of the Washington Field Office of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service; Ronald C. Machen Jr., U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia; Carl Vasilko, Special Agent in Charge of the Washington Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; and Teresa Chambers, Chief of the U.S. Park Police.
Through information and evidence gathered in interviews, searches, and other investigative activity, investigators and analysts have gained a greater understanding of the recent movements and activities of deceased shooter Aaron Alexis, 34.
Alexis was employed as a contractor for a private information technology firm. Pursuant to his employment, Alexis was assigned to a project at the Washington Navy Yard and he arrived in the Washington, D.C., area on August 25, 2013. From August 25 to August 31, 2013, Alexis stayed at a hotel in Bethesda, Maryland. From August 31 to September 7, 2013, Alexis stayed at a hotel in the Pentagon City area of Arlington, Virginia. On September 7, Alexis moved to the Residence Inn in Southwest Washington, D.C., where he remained through September 16, 2013. Alexis began working at the Washington Navy Yard on September 9, 2013.
On Saturday, September 14, 2013, Alexis purchased a Remington 870 shotgun and ammunition at a gun shop in Northern Virginia. On the same day, Alexis also purchased a hacksaw, among other items, at a home improvement store in Northern Virginia.
On the morning of Monday, September 16, 2013, Alexis arrived at the Washington Navy Yard. Alexis had legitimate access to the Navy Yard as a result of his work as a contractor and he utilized a valid pass to gain entry to Building #197. Shortly after his arrival in the building and over the course of approximately one hour, Alexis used the Remington 870 shotgun and a Beretta handgun he obtained during the course of his shooting to kill 12 victims and wound four surviving victims before he was shot and killed by law enforcement officers. Investigation to date has determined that Alexis acted alone.
The following timeline details Alexis’ activity during the morning of September 16, 2013:
  • 7:53 a.m. - Alexis’ rental car, a blue Toyota Prius with New York plates, entered Parking Garage #28 at the Washington Navy Yard, located directly across from Building #197.
  • 8:08 a.m. - Alexis exited Parking Garage #28 on foot carrying a backpack. Alexis entered Building #197 and proceeded to the elevator.
  • 8:09 a.m. - Alexis exited the elevator on the fourth floor and entered the men’s bathroom carrying a backpack and a clipboard.
  • 8:15 a.m. - Alexis crossed the hallway into the 4 West area of Building #197 with shotgun, but without the backpack or a clipboard.
  • 8:16 a.m. - Alexis shot the first victim in the 4 West area of Building #197.
  • 8:17 a.m. - First 911 call is received from the fourth floor of Building #197.
  • 8:20 a.m. - Alexis left the fourth floor using the stairs and entered the third floor.
  • 8:28 a.m. - Alexis appeared on the first floor.
  • 8:57 a.m. - Alexis returned to the third floor.
  • 9:25 a.m. - Law enforcement shoot and kill Alexis on the third floor.
Both weapons used by Alexis were recovered at the scene and have been submitted to the FBI Laboratory for forensic analysis. The Remington 870 shotgun had been altered with a sawed-off barrel and stock. Purple duct tape covered the end of the stock and handwritten etchings were present on various parts of the shotgun.

Etched into the barrel of the shotgun were the words “End to the torment!” Etched into the right side of the shotgun receiver were the words “Not what yall say!” and etched into the left side of the receiver were the phrases “Better off this way!” and “My ELF weapon!”
Alexis’ backpack was located in the fourth floor men’s bathroom, hanging on the back of a stall door. Contents of the backpack included a roll of purple duct tape and electronic media. Searches were conducted of Alexis’ blue Toyota Prius rental car, located in Parking Garage #28, and his hotel room in Southwest Washington, D.C. Additional electronic media was located in the hotel room.
Analysis of the electronic media recovered from Alexis’ belongings revealed several relevant communications. While analysis of these communications is ongoing in conjunction with other information and evidence determined through investigation, preliminary analysis has yielded clues to his intentions and issues of importance to him.

There are indicators that Alexis was prepared to die during the attack and that he accepted death as the inevitable consequence of his actions. There is no indication to date that Alexis was targeting specific individuals.
There are multiple indicators that Alexis held a delusional belief that he was being controlled or influenced by extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic waves. The etching of “My ELF weapon!” on the left side of the receiver of the Remington 870 shotgun is believed to reference these electromagnetic waves. In addition, a document retrieved from his electronic media stated, “Ultra low frequency attack is what I’ve been subject to for the last 3 months, and to be perfectly honest that is what has driven me to this.”
ELF technology was a legitimate program for naval sub-tonal submarine communications; however, conspiracy theories exist which misinterpret its application as the weaponization of remote neural frequencies for government monitoring and manipulation of unsuspecting citizens.
While announcing these developments in this ongoing joint investigation, Assistant Director Parlave, Chief Lanier, Special Agent in Charge Monroe, U.S. Attorney Machen, Special Agent in Charge Vasilko, and Chief Chambers commended the work of investigators and analysts who continue to conduct a complete and thorough investigation into the tragic events at the Washington Navy Yard.

About half an hour ago (and also at times earlier in the day today) I noticed a strange quality of air again. When I looked out of the window I noticed a group of three persons, a woman and two men, as pictured on these photographs below. Two men were apparently hiding behind a tree and were pointing some devices, probably with assistance of flash lights right into my window. After I noticed them these two men got out of their hiding place and the group stood together for some time, as pictured, probably in some state of confusion, as if they felt been caught. After I photographed them and after hearing some clapping from a separate group of people on the beach (probably signalling a support for my actions) the group of three rode away on their bicycles. 

Mr. Comey, could you please kindly investigate this episode? I wonder what kind of devices these people employed (if any, to safeguard against any possible excessive and unfounded paranoia, which I doubt) and I am really curious about how they (both these devices and their operators) work. I would appreciate if you share this information with me (eventually). 
Thank you very much, M.N. 

P.S. By the way, I do feel some scratchy sensations in my throat but I do not think that it is something serious. Some time ago, when the laser light was beamed into my eyes I did feel pain in them for several weeks. By the way it happened soon after I published this post in which certain problems with vision and hearing were mentioned:  "The blind leaders of the blind, the deaf leaders of the deaf!" 
I understand that you are not a physician (ophthalmologist or ENT), but since FBI people are (or should be) very curious by nature (or by their professional requirements), I thought it would be good for you to know about this. I am sure that your investigation will be prompt and efficient. 
Thank you again, Michael 

P.P.S. I also have to mention that this type of quasi correspondence with you, Sir (despite being very interesting and pleasant in all respects), does take a lot of my time which I would prefer to devote to some other projects of mine. Therefore, methinks, the final, besides the prompt and efficient resolution of these issues would desirable for both of us since I suspect that you value your time also, Sir; and no less than I. 
M.N.

Update on 10.2.13 at 10 AM: 

During the very brief and superficial examination of this device and its owner, the claim was made by him (the owner) that it is "just an antenna" (very strange and unusual looking, I must say). However, being very busy with many really important things, I must delegate the further investigation of this occurrence (and it: the input of some toxic substances through my window definitely took place and was confirmed by some subsequent observations) to our most beloved and skillful Good Big Brother, relying (hopefully) on his infinite knowledge and wisdom, even if he is one of the pranksters; I will watch him very carefully, have no doubts about it. By the way, after the little hullabaloo scandal I created, the input of substances in their smelly form did cease promptly and immediately, however the other, smell-less forms cannot be ruled out by any means. 
I also do announce that I intend to start my regular column of questions and requests for answers in my blog "Puerto Rico Newslinks" titled: "My Dear Governor" and the answers will be expected, with the focus not on my personal issues of course, which are not that important, but on the real, big and important issues for this country and for this island. So, get ready, Governor. 

Further Updates on this subject (various hypothetical toxic substances) will follow, if the need be. 

I also want to congratulate our most beloved, gracious and wise Good Big Brother FBI on having a new chief with the most unusual and interesting last name of "Mr. Comey"; I think it is a new, good, objective, fearless, progressive and truly American trend: to divorce words and sounds from their true meanings and essences. Although, I do have somewhat of a difficult time imagining how people communicate and report to him, e.g.: "Yes, Mr. Comey; you are absolutely correct, Mr. Comey; we will do exactly as you wish, Mr. Comey!", etc., etc. 
As for me, I do not have any problems saying it: Hello, Mr. Comey. Nice to meet you, Mr. Comey! 
And I do mean it sincerely, continuous and watchful but hopeful further observation of Dear Good Big Brother notwithstanding. Goodbye for now and I hope that no new updates will be needed. But if they are needed, I will not have any problems with that either.

Mike Nova: After I wrote an update to my page about the FBI: 



I was sneezing continuously today the whole morning. I could not understand what is going on; apparently some toxic substance was getting in through my window. 

Finally I looked out the window and saw that some device, apparently a sprayer operated on remote control, was installed in the window next to mine. You can see it on these photos very clearly. Most likely it was some type of the pepper spray, but who knows what else was there. 

Thank you very much, my dear FBI friends. This is a lovely revenge from you. And when are you going to learn how to relate to me?! 

I called the police about 7 or 8 times to make a police report but they did not show up, 
although a lot of police cars were passing by. 

Thank you very much, my dear friends from PRPD. 

And thank you, my dear friend, the Octopus man for your lovely sprayer too. 

Ain't life exciting and enjoyable in our beautiful Puerto Rico?! 

And if they do it to me simply because I criticise them in my blog, what would they do to other people? 

AAAEEEYYY???!!!
