Here’s the original text from the 2018 interview:
Reese Erlich is a journalist, author and syndicated columnist, who returns to update claims that US diplomats in Cuba were sickened by mysterious causes, possibly sonic weapons; and the latest evolution of the Syrian war. Erlich visited Cuba in January, and filed this report. In 2016 and early 2017, American diplomats in Havana reported strange illnesses, and amid speculation about sonic warfare, most of the Americans were withdrawn, and Cubans were sent home from Washington. After investigation by Cuban authorities, the FBI and others, Erlich concludes the story was “bullshit”.
Erlich’s most recent book, Inside Syria, is based on his original reporting from the region. Here, he comments on recent developments, including Israel’s loss of an F-16 after a raid into Syria on February 10, the US attack on Syrian forces near Minjab last week, and the escalating war by Turkey on Kurds along its border with Syria.
