New Russia Hoax: Report Blames Kremlin For ‘Havana Syndrome,’ But Evidence Suggests Otherwise | Truth Over News

Twenty years ago, the CBS show “60 Minutes” tried to pull off one of the most memorable and outrageous election-year hoaxes of all time. It was the 2004 election between President George W. Bush and John Kerry, and “60 Minutes” claimed to have found documents showing that President Bush disobeyed orders while serving in the National Guard, and that undue influence was used to enhance Mr. Bush’s military record. The problem was that the documents were totally fake. They hadn’t been typed on a 1970s typewriter, but in Microsoft Word.

That hoax became known as Rathergate, because the reporter was Dan Rather. Well, it’s an election year again, and “60 Minutes” has decided to push a new hoax. The latest story is that Russia is targeting U.S. officials with secret microwave weapons that cause brain injuries.
