France’s foreign intelligence service has denied claims that its director pressured Telegram founder Pavel Durov to censor political content on the messaging platform.

Durov claimed on Sunday that the government of a Western European country – which he hinted was France – had asked him to block conservative Romanian content on Telegram ahead of the country’s presidential runoff. After Paris denied involvement, Durov identified Nicolas Lerner, head of the Directorate-General for External Security (DGSE), as the official behind the request.

On Monday, the DGSE told French outlets Agence France-Presse and Le Monde that it had contacted Durov on multiple occasions, but only to “firmly remind him of his company’s responsibilities, and his own personally, in preventing terrorist and child pornography threats.” The agency rejected accusations of political interference.

Durov was arrested in France last August after arriving at Le Bourget Airport and charged with complicity in crimes allegedly carried out by Telegram users, including extremism and child abuse offenses. He was released on €5 million ($5.46 million) bail. The Russian-born entrepreneur, whose company is headquartered in Dubai, left France with official permission in mid-March.

The dispute emerged as Romania held its second attempt at a presidential election. On Sunday, pro-EU candidate Nicusor Dan narrowly defeated Euroskeptic rival George Simion in a runoff. A previous vote last year was annulled after right-wing independent Calin Georgescu unexpectedly won the first round.

Romania’s Constitutional Court invalidated the initial vote, citing alleged Russian interference. Media reports linked Georgescu’s surge in support to a digital campaign orchestrated by a firm with ties to the ruling National Liberal Party, which may have aimed to split the conservative vote.

Romania’s Foreign Ministry has also accused Moscow of meddling in the latest runoff. The Russian government has dismissed the claim.

MANY OF THE COMMENTS ATTACHED TO THIS ARTICLE WERE VERY SCEPTICAL OF THE DGSE "NON-PRESSURE"...

ONE BY Kaela Creighton DID ATTRACT MY ATTENTION:

They don’t care about the children or protecting anyone. They like to play games and other nefarious activities such as Ghost Data, «Embrace Agony.» What about Epstein and other activities that the FBI and CIA had to have know about? The CIA tortured me in Virginia. What about that message on RT, psych ops, with them knowing how to manipulate the brain and cause people to become pedophiles while not fixing the disabled like their excuse to overstep regulations? ha ha ha to you, too. They attack and entrap us simpletons. Enjoy the Oracle. Sorry, as I’ve told you, screen us out. I’ve dealt with being entrapped 4+ plus times. The retard beat you. ha ha ha I have had to go to the psychward over 21 times, as well, as they hunted me, many of those times. It’s a fair game. They’ve sent spooks I’m terrified, right? What am I going to do? They think it’s fun to watch us explode with blood. We get dragged to labels. I must love the doctor? If this is going to be the way the world works, lol, why have my men not put the money in the nightstand? Durov got a good taste of this already. I am schizophrenic, but I’m not always out or psychotic. Research us. Other Lives: The Dust Bowl. That’s what the US did to me.

OUR CHOICES AND OUR PURPOSE ARE MANIPULATED ALL THE TIME. THE LIST OF METHODS IS LONG AND THIS INCLUDE DRUGS AND ADVERTISING.  WITH KAELA WE ENTER THE SUB-WORLD OF BRAIN-WAVE MANIPULATIONS... DOES IT WORK? IS IT USED?

ONE ARTICLE CONCLUDES:

Although some people find the concept of psychotronic torture to be fascinating no strong scientific data and evidence support such claims or the allegations of psychotronic torture. It’s an idea with no strong scientific evidence foundation, and its assertions are usually connected to conspiracy theories and pseudoscience. We may dispel these myths by comprehending the historical background, the limitations of strong evidence, the intricacies of the human mind, and the influence of suggestions. 

In the end, distinguishing reality from fiction is crucial to our effort to create a society that is more knowledgeable and sensible. But we do agree that during the Cold War the Soviets the US, and other countries were conducting human experiments using many kinds of Drugs and electromagnetic radiation to find ways to control the human mind and make it work as they want, but there is not enough evidence that they fully succeeded or not. In modern times no strong scientific data and evidence supports such claims or the allegations of psychotronic torture. Therefore, in a time when information may spread quickly, it is crucial to promote critical and logical thinking, and before accepting any statements and claims we must examine them critically with reliable evidence, logical and critical thinking.

BESIDE THIS, RECENTLY, THERE WAS SOME WORK DONE ON THE "HAVANA SYNDROME"...

American Vice President Kamala Harris’ visit to Vietnam was delayed for a few hours on Tuesday. Officials said two possible cases of “Havana Syndrome” among American workers in the country led to the delay.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday that the cases had not been confirmed and did not involve anyone traveling with Harris.

Havana Syndrome is the name for a series of mysterious health incidents first reported by American diplomats and other government employees in the Cuban capital in late 2016.

Sufferers reported hearing loud noise, loss of balance, intense head pressure, and vision problems. Many continued to experience these or other health problems for some time.

Similar unexplained incidents have since been reported by U.S. officials and family members in other countries, including Germany, Austria, Russia and China. Especially worrying are the discoveries of at least two possible incidents around Washington, D.C. One happened near the White House last November.

What causes the syndrome?

Following the reports from Havana, U.S. officials told the Associated Press and other news organizations that the diplomats had been exposed to a sound device that operated outside the range of normal hearing.

It was not immediately clear if the device was a weapon or had some other purpose. Officials added investigators were looking into the possibilities that the incidents were carried out by a third country such as Russia. Russia denied any involvement.

The University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Brain Injury and Repair did a study in 2018 to compare the brain images of 40 Americans stationed in Havana with other healthy individuals. The study found evidence that American diplomats experienced some form of brain injury in Havana.

Another study, published last December in the National Academy of Sciences, identifies “directed, pulsed radio frequency energy” to be the most probable cause of Havana Syndrome.

James Giordano is a professor at Georgetown University. He has worked with the State Department on investigating the Havana cases. Giordano told the AP last May that there is evidence of brain injuries in several people, suggesting they may have been affected by radio waves. He identified two possible sources. One is a device used to directly target people. Another is a tool that used energy waves for intelligence gathering.

Some scientists, however, disagreed with the findings.

Robert Baloh is a medical doctor from the University of California, Los Angeles. He and Robert Bartholomew of Botany College in New Zealand wrote in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, “the most likely explanation for the recent outbreak of mysterious symptoms in Cuba and elsewhere is mass psychogenic illness.” A mass psychogenic illness is when people learn of sickness among others in their group and begin to feel sick themselves.

In June, lawmakers passed the HAVANA act to provide support to Americans who might have brain injuries “from likely directed energy attacks.” Senator Susan Collins of Maine said those “who have undergone these attacks while serving our country should be treated the same way we would treat a soldier who suffered a traumatic injury on the battlefield.”

William Burns is the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, or CIA. He told NPR in July that Havana Syndrome is “real and it’s serious.” Burns added, "I am absolutely determined — and I've spent a great deal of time and energy on this in the four months that I've been CIA director — to get to the bottom of the question of what and who caused this.”
