Two American diplomats stationed in China were reportedly evacuated from the region after being sickened by a mysterious ailment linked to odd sounds.
The two Americans evacuated worked at the American Consulate in the southern city of Guangzhou, the New York Times reported Wednesday, adding that their colleagues and relatives are also being tested by a State Department medical team.
American officials have been worried for months that American diplomats and their families in Cuba -- and now China -- have been subjected to a "sonic attack," leading to symptoms similar to those "following concussion or minor traumatic brain injury," the State Department said in a statement Tuesday.
The new cases broaden a medical mystery that began affecting American diplomats and their families in Cuba in 2016. Since then, 24 Americans stationed in Havana have experienced dizziness, headaches, fatigue, hearing loss and cognitive issues, the State Department said.
[...] The nature of the injury, and whether a common cause exists, hasn't been established yet, the department said.

That is an impressive display of a crypto-conservative stream of consciousness.
The State Department is the last bastion of the White Man's Burden, its diplomats being nearly all horrible white people and horrible WASP blue-bloods at that. They game the numbers by hiring mainly black and brown people to be the support staff. They are also globalists to the core. They have scarcely deviated an inch from Bretton Woods.
So it makes sense that having to answer to a guy like Trump would drive them insane. I, for one, am glad they are. State should be gutted from stem to stern and replaced with actual Americans instead of weird antediluvian dinosaurs who could have come straight out of Central Casting.
Washington DC delenda est.
