The article details the bio-weapons program's history and it's current state and how it violates many treaties. With bio labs opening up
everywhere, it is also becoming a danger to the general public. Also quite concerning is the secret testing that is done on U.S. and Canadian
citizens. One test was done as recently as this year in Crystal City, VA:
it calls for developmental and operational "field testing of (CBW) full systems," not just simulations, and followed it up in a recent March 2008
test; in Crystal City, VA, it released perflourocarbon tracers and sulfur hexaflouride assuring residents it's safe; it's not and may harm persons
with asthma, emphysema and other respiratory ailments;
Testing on blacks in 1932:
In 1932, the Tuskegee Syphilis Study begins on 200 black men; they're not told of their illness, are denied treatment, and are used as human guinea
pigs to follow their disease symptoms and progression; they all subsequently die; In 1951, African-Americans are exposed to potentially fatal
stimulants as part of a race-specific fungal weapons test in Virginia;
Fluoride as a poison:
in 1945, the US Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) implements "Program F;" it's the most extensive US study of the health effects of fluoride - a key
chemical component in atomic bomb production; it's one of the most toxic chemicals known and causes marked adverse central nervous system effects; in
the interest of national security and not undermining full-scale nuclear weapons production, the information is suppressed; fluoride is found
naturally in low concentration in drinking water and foods; compounds of the substance are also commonly used for cavity-prevention, but few people
understand its toxicity;
The nuclear tests:
in 1950, the DOD begins open-air nuclear weapons detonations in desert areas, then monitors downwind residents for medical problems and mortality
rates;
Testing on the Canadian population too! My Dad still talks about this event:
in 1953, the US military releases clouds of zinc cadium sulfide gas over Winnipeg, Canada, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Fort Wayne, the Monocacy River
Valley in Maryland, and Leesburg, VA - to determine how efficiently chemical agents can be dispersed;
Of course they've also tested experimental vaccines on U.S. soldiers which have killed many of them:
following the Gulf War, reports surface about US forces' health problems - later called Gulf War Syndrome; the likely cause - widespread use of
depleted uranium, other toxic substances, and the illegal use (on nearly 700,000 theater forces) of experimental vaccines in violation of the
Nuremberg Code on medical experimentation; over 12,000 have since died and over 30% are now ill from non-combat-related factors; they've since filed
claims with the VA for medical care, compensation, and pension benefits;
This part on defensive bio-technology is especially scary as it would have required experimental vaccinations during an emergency:
The Bush administration proceeded anyway. Since 9/11, it spent or allocated around $50 billion on bioweapons development through 11 federal
departments and agencies, including DOD and DHS. For FY 2009, it wants an additional $8.1 billion or $2.5 billion more than in FY2008. It calls its
program preventive and defensive and cites Project BioShield as an example. It became law in July 2004 as a 10 year program to develop countermeasures
to biological, chemical, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) agents. It was, in fact, a gift to companies like Gilead Sciences, the company Donald
Rumsfeld led as chairman from 1997 to 2001 (and remains a major shareholder) until he left to become George Bush's Defense Secretary.
