The I-Team independently verified that the spraying of zinc cadmium sulfide did take place in St. Louis on thousands of unsuspecting citizens. What is unclear is whether the Army added a radioactive material to the compound as Martino-Taylor's research implies. "The study was secretive for reason. They didn't have volunteers stepping up and saying yeah, I'll breathe zinc cadmium sulfide with radioactive particles," said Martino-Taylor. Army archive pictures show how the tests were done in Corpus Christi, Texas in the 1960s. In Texas, planes were used to drop the chemical. But in St. Louis, the Army placed chemical sprayers on buildings and station wagons.

ffs imagine what they are doing RIGHT NOW.
I won't believe for a second we aren't doing some current heinous experiments that makes these look like a Goebbel's fairytale.
Have we really changed that much since?
Cold war is over sure but I don't think they would just halt these projects because of that..

They halted these projects BEFORE the cold war ended.
And ffs yourself - just 'cos something was done in the past does NOT mean it is being done now - you don't still have chattel slavery do you??edit on 25-9-2012 by Aloysius the Gaul because: (no reason given)
Documents confirmed that city officials were kept in the dark about the tests. The Cold War cover story was that the Army was testing smoke screens to protect cities from a Russian attack. The truth, according to Martino-Taylor was much more sinister. "It was pretty shocking. The level of duplicity and secrecy. Clearly they went to great lengths to deceive people," she said.

I don't believe you for a second.
THOSE projects may have closed, but who says that an even more secretive project didn't manifest?
how can we even trust those people to tell the truth that they closed it in the first place??

I like this part,

so how many people were in on the plan to secretly spray us?
Any old Army guys want to step up tell us the story, my grandfather was Army Air Core and in Saints Louis at the time but I did not hear this one.
I think if the population HAD been asked I think they would ahve readily agreed to them. All sorts of things could be done with a good "red scare".

Reading that was like enduring the sounds of nails sliding across a chalk board.
I was a small child in S.t Louis during the spraying years. I can say with certainty that the population would not have agreed to this and would have called it out as it turns out to have been.... a crime against the citizens of St. Louis.
Approximately a week or two later, there was a knock on my front door at home. My neighbor asked if she could have a minute of my time, and next shared a personal story with me. Ten years prior, she had survived a brain tumor. She explained that she had come to me for a specific reason, however…she had been sprayed as a child while on the playground at school, by “something that the military was doing”, and she had for a decade believed that her brain tumor was caused by that event.
My challenge beyond uncovering how it was that the St. Louis aerosol studies came to be, and all that they entailed, was to also explain how over a long period of time (in this case decades), a large number of rotating personnel- seemingly normal people (defined here as those who don‟t desire to impose harm on others in general) can knowingly come to engage in harmful or criminal actions towards others, or in unethical actions for the benefit of their organization.

The US Army Air Corps (USAAC) ceased to exist as an administrative structure on 9 March 1942, being replaced by the Army Air Force (AAF, but usually referred to as the USAAF), which itself was abolished in favour of the USAF in 1947.
Although abolished as an organization in 1942, the Air Corps (AC) remained as a branch of the Army until 1947.
Minneapolis Called Toxic Test Site in '53
Published: June 11, 1994
In a 1953 cold war experiment, the Army sprayed clouds of toxic material over Minneapolis dozens of times and may have caused miscarriages and stillbirths, a public television station here has reported.
