#5 - On The Wings Of Jackie Pfau


Listen Later

Today's episode is about Jack Pfau a dear friend of mine and a local Bitterroot hero, or as Papa would say, “Jackie P-fau.”

This morning as I was prying my eyes open and the doggies yawned and gave me blurry-eyed stares, I caught up.  Remember when someone or thing zapped diplomats' in Cuba causing concussions?  Well, according to GQ, “ In June 2018, the U.S. State Department evacuated nearly a dozen people from Guangzhou, China, where American diplomats and trade representatives reported feeling symptoms eerily similar to those their colleagues had experienced in Cuba.”  Which it seems may have been microwave weapons, causing what is now called the Havana Syndrome.

Figuring out what to do about this one is pretty overwhelming.  It completely changes the game globally.  How countries lead, manage their own citizenry, and navigate International diplomacy and policy.  Not to mention, how it bellies Russia up to the global bar without any other reason.

Given what I know about Jack Pfau, and how that he might look at this, as well as what he gave his life exposing to help others, his story seems particularly needed today.
