Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

What do they have secret jail in the secret police station? Or do they just go around writing unenforceable tickets?
There are a lot of ways to fuck up people's lives and control them through a combination of manipulation, intimidation, and character assassination. Havana syndrome is also a real thing, and you don't have to be in Cuba to experience it, but good luck getting a doctor or anybody to take you seriously if you say you're having symptoms.
It doesn't necessarily involve going to secret jail, but if your name winds up on a list of "people whose lives to make hell," then you'd better get used to people thinking you're psychotic whenever you mention people who are stalking/spying on you.
No, its not, Cuba does not have a secret death laser.
That's not even what it is. Are you being facetious?
Yes I am being facetious, do you believe everything the state department says about its enemies, with zero evidence?
btw, it'd be cool if there was a Cuban Space Microwave defrosting CIA agents brains, other than ICE agents, I can't think of someone more deserving.
Not at all, but I do believe the USSR developed technologies that could simultaneously record people in secret while also dosing them with enough radiation and/or hypersonic/infrasonic interference to mess with their biological systems and give them headaches, nausea, vertigo, confusion, fatigue, and other symptoms, and bugged the walls of the US embassy in Havana with said devices.
I also believe the CIA developed a radiation gun that can give someone a heart attack/migraines/psychosis at a distance while leaving no audible or visible traces.
Just because "USSR = Bad" doesn't mean "CIA = Good." Not everybody has the cognitive development level of a cro magnon to where they think the world is so simple that they can divide everything into neat little categories such as "good vs. bad" or "if one side bad then the other good."
