HISTORY OF SECRET EXPERIMENTATION

ON UNITED STATES CITIZENS

In 1977 the United States reached a significant turning point in its history. For the first time, the U.S. Army admitted carrying out hundreds of chemical and biological warfare tests, including at least 25 that targeted civilian populations. Previously classified records show that between 1951 and 1967, on at least 48 occasions, the Army used disease causing microbes in open air tests and, that on at least 31 other occasions, anti‑crop substances were knowingly discharged into the environment.

Of course, all of this was done in the name of National Security. However, a more disturbing element was thrown into the mix with a 1985 U.S. Supreme Court decision. That decision essentially absolved the U.S. military from any liability in cases where the military might be caught experimenting on unknowing and unwilling human subjects. In fact, the Court's decision did not differentiate between the case of a single experiment, which was at the heart of the case under review, and broader actions which military commanders might determine to undertake under the terms of liberally interpreted orders.

In its decision, written by Justice Antonin Scalia, the Court determined that actions against the military would tend to disrupt the military chain of command. This element was the key point of concern rather than any legal foundations which might have been espoused. Thus, anything which military commanders ordered, which might even remotely be covered by the broader umbrella of the scope and authority of the military mission, was not redressable in the courts. In fact, the military was essentially absolved from all past wrongdoing while at the same time being given a green light to undertake new activities so long as such actions did not violate their orders. It was a decision which shocked fellow conservative, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor who, in an impassioned dissent, cited the principles of fundamental human rights, and the concepts formulated after the Nuremberg War Crime Tribunals, as ample reason to hold military commanders culpable for their misdeeds.

We should already know, however, that human experimentation in the United States is not news. The infamous Tuskegee Study, where 400 black men with syphilis were left untreated, some for as long as 40 years, was only discontinued after it became public.

More recently, we have seen that many more people were victims of radiation experiments which were conducted without required disclosure by our own Atomic Energy Commission. However, one of the most disturbing experiments was undertaken during the 1930's where a single pathologist undertook studies in which he knowingly infected his human subjects with cancer.

This physician, Dr. Cornelious Rhoads of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Investigations, undertook his experiments with little concern for his patients.

In fact, Dr. Rhoads' attitude about his subjects was chronicled in a letter which later served as the basis for a criminal investigation. With regard to the subjects and location of his experiments in Puerto Rico, Dr. Rhoads wrote: "What the island needs is not public health work, but a tidal wave or something to totally exterminate the population."

A criminal investigation, however, exonerated Dr. Rhoads in the deaths of his patients. The prosecutor appointed by the North American governor of the island dismissed the case, calling Rhoads merely "a mentally ill person or a man of few scruples." Interestingly enough, Dr. Rhoads went on to direct the establishment of U.S. Army chemical warfare laboratories in Maryland, Utah, and the Panama Canal Zone. This "mentally ill" doctor was subsequently awarded 'The Legion of

Merit,' and was appointed to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.

It was the work and influence of Dr. Cornelius Rhoads which serves as the foundation for the film ENEMIES WITHIN. This suspense/mystery simply takes a look at a similar situation, and updates the time and place. Where some might see great conspiracies rising from governmental abuses, ENEMIES WITHIN examines a system which makes it possible for a few people to have a drastic impact on society. ENEMIES WITHIN looks at a man such as Dr. Rhoads, who with a little power and influence, might be able to spread diseases which target narrow groups. It examines the way in which our own loyalties can be used against us.

In the case of Dr. Rhoads, the man revealing the charges against him later claimed that he was

being subjected to radiation experiments after his arrest during the Puerto Rican Nationalists

insurrection in 1950. Subsequent to his release from prison, the man's health deteriorated, and he

died a short time later. It has only been within the last few years that we've learned that the Atomic

Energy Commission did indeed experiment on unwitting prisoners, hospital patients, and soldiers.

Dr. Rhoads achieved his revenge for the charges made against him. But the question remains, how

many other 'like thinking' individuals do we have defending our National Security? How many others

may have been placed in positions of trust and power without oversight to prevent their abuse of

power? The Supreme Court may have given some a way to fulfill their own visions, just as it

appears Dr. Rhoads was able to do.

1931: Dr. Cornelius Rhoads, under the auspices of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Investigations, infects human subjects with cancer cells. He later goes on to establish the U.S. Army Biological Warfare facilities in Maryland, Utah, and Panama, and is named to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. While there, he begins a series of radiation exposure experiments on American soldiers and civilian hospital patients.

1932 : “The Tuskegee Syphilis Study begins. 200 black men diagnosed with syphilis are never told of their illness, are denied treatment, and instead are used as human guinea pigs in order to follow the progression and symptoms of the disease. They all subsequently die from syphilis, their families never told that they could have been treated.

1935: The Pellagra Incident. After millions of individuals die from Pellagra over a span of two decades, the U.S. Public Health Service finally acts to stem the disease. The director of the agency admits it had known for at least 20 years that Pellagra is caused by a niacin deficiency but failed to act since most of the deaths occured within poverty‑striken black populations.

1940: Four hundred prisoners in Chicago are infected with Malaria in order to study the effects of new and experimental drugs to combat the disease. Nazi doctors later on trial at Nuremberg cite this American study to defend their own actions during the Holocaust.

1942 : Chemical Warfare Services begins mustard gas experiments on approximately 4,000 servicemen. The experiments continue until 1945 and made use of Seventh Day Adventists who chose to become human guinea pigs rather than serve on active duty.

1943: In response to Japan's full‑scale germ warfare program, the U.S. begins research on biological weapons at Fort Detrick, MD.

1944: U.S. Navy uses human subjects to test gas masks and clothing. Individuals were locked in a gas chamber and exposed to mustard gas and lewisite.

1945: Project Paperclip is initiated. The U.S. State Department, Army intelligence, and the CIA recruit Nazi scientists and offer them immunity and secret identities in exchange for work on top secret government projects in the United States.

1945: "Program F" is implemented by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). This is the most extensive U.S. study of the health effects of fluoride, which was the key chemical component in atomic bomb production. One of the most toxic chemicals known to man, fluoride, it is found, causes marked adverse effects to the central nervous system but much of the information is squelched in the name of national security because of fear that lawsuits would undermine full‑scale production of atomic bombs.

1946: Patients in VA hospitals are used as guinea pigs for medical experiments. In order to allay suspicions, the order is given to change the word "experiments" to "investigations" or "observations" whenever reporting a medical study performed in one of the nation's veteran's hospitals.

1947: Colonel E.E. Kirkpatrick of the U.S. Atomic Energy Comission issues a secret document (Document 07075001, January 8, 1947) stating that the agency will begin administering intravenous doses of radioactive substances to human subjects.

1947: The CIA begins its study of LSD as a potential weapon for use by American intelligence. Human subjects (both civilian and military) are used with and without their knowledge.

1950: Department of Defense begins plans to detonate nuclear weapons in desert areas and monitor downwind residents for medical problems and mortality rates.

1950: In an experiment to determine how susceptible an American city would be to biological attack, the U.S. Navy sprays a cloud of bacteria from ships over San Franciso. Monitoring devices are situated throughout the city in order to test the extent of infection. Many residents become ill with pneumonia‑like symptoms.

1951: Department of Defense begins open air tests using disease‑producing bacteria and viruses. Tests last through 1969 and there is concern that people in the surrounding areas have been exposed.

1953: U.S. military releases clouds of zinc cadmium sulfide gas over Winnipeg, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Fort Wayne, the Monocacy River Valley in Maryland, and Leesburg, Virginia. Their intent is to determine how efficiently they could disperse chemical agents.

1953: Joint Army‑Navy‑CIA experiments are conducted in which tens of thousands of people in New York and San Francisco are exposed to the airborne germs Serratia marcescens and Bacillus glogigii.

1953: CIA initiates Project MKULTRA. This is an eleven year research program designed to produce and test drugs and biological agents that would be used for mind control and behavior modification. Six of the subprojects involved testing the agents on unwitting human beings.

1955: The CIA, in an experiment to test its ability to infect human populations with biological agents, releases a bacteria withdrawn from the Army's biological warfare arsenal over Tampa Bay, Fl.

195: Army Chemical Corps continues LSD research, studying its potential use as a chemical incapacitating agent. More than 1,000 Americans participate in the tests, which continue until 1958.

1956: U.S. military releases mosquitoes infected with Yellow Fever over Savannah, Ga and Avon Park, Fl. Following each test, Army agents posing as public health officials test victims for effects.

1958: LSD is tested on 95 volunteers at the Army's Chemical Warfare Laboratories for its effect on intelligence.

1960: The Army Assistant Chief‑of‑Staff for Intelligence (ACSI) authorizes field testing of LSD in Europe and the Far East. Testing of the european population is code named Project THIRD CHANCE; testing of the Asian population is code named Project DERBY HAT.

1965: CIA and Department of Defense begin Project MKSEARCH, a program to develop a capability to manipulate human behavior through the use of mind‑altering drugs.

1965 : Prisoners at the Holmesburg State Prison in Philadelphia are subjected to dioxin, the highly toxic chemical component of Agent Orange used in Viet Nam. The men are later studied for development of cancer, which indicates that Agent Orange had been a suspected carcinogen all along.

1966 : CIA initiates Project MKOFTEN, a program to test the toxicological effects of certain drugs on humans and animals.

1966: U.S. Army dispenses Bacillus subtilis variant niger throughout the New York City subway system. More than a million civilians are exposed when army scientists drop lightbulbs filled with the bacteria onto ventilation grates.

1967: CIA and Department of Defense implement Project MKNAOMI, successor to MKULTRA and designed to maintain, stockpile and test biological and chemical weapons.

1968: CIA experiments with the possibility of poisoning drinking water by injecting chemicals into the water supply of the FDA in Washington, D.C.

1969: Dr. Robert MacMahan of the Department of Defense requests from congress $10 million to develop, within 5 to 10 years, a synthetic biological agent to which no natural immunity exists.

1970 : Funding for the synthetic biological agent is obtained under H.R. 15090. The project, under the supervision of the CIA, is carried out by the Special Operations Division at Fort Detrick, the army's top secret biological weapons facility. Speculation is raised that molecular biology techniques are used to produce AIDS‑like retroviruses.

1970: United States intensifies its development of "ethnic weapons" (Military Review, Nov., 1970), designed to selectively target and eliminate specific ethnic groups who are susceptible due to genetic differences and variations in DNA.

1975: The virus section of Fort Detrick's Center for Biological Warfare Research is renamed the Fredrick Cancer Research Facilities and placed under the supervision of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) . It is here that a special virus cancer program is initiated by the U.S. Navy, purportedly to develop cancer‑causing viruses. It is also here that retrovirologists isolate a virus to which no immunity exists. It is later named HTLV (Human T‑cell Leukemia Virus).

1977: Senate hearings on Health and Scientific Research confirm that 239 populated areas had been contaminated with biological agents between 1949 and 1969. Some of the areas included San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Key West, Panama City, Minneapolis, and St. Louis.

1978: Experimental Hepatitis B vaccine trials, conducted by the CDC, begin in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Ads for research subjects specifically ask for promiscuous homosexual men.

1981: First cases of AIDS are confirmed in homosexual men in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, triggering speculation that AIDS may have been introduced via the Hepatitis B vaccine.

1985: According to the journal Science (227:173‑177), HTLV and VISNA, a fatal sheep virus, are very similar, indicating a close taxonomic and evolutionary relationship.

1986: According to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (83:4007‑4011), HIV and VISNA are highly similar and share all structural elements, except for a small segment which is nearly identical to HTLV. This leads to speculation that HTLV and VISNA may have been linked to produce a new retrovirus to which no natural immunity exists.

1986: A report to Congress reveals that the U.S. Government's current generation of biological agents includes: modified viruses, naturally occurring toxins, and agents that are altered through genetic engineering to change immunological character and prevent treatment by all existing vaccines.

1987: Department of Defense admits that, despite a treaty banning research and development of biological agents, it continues to operate research facilities at 127 facilities and universities around the nation.

1990: More than 1500 six‑month old black and hispanic babies in Los Angeles are given an "experimental" measles vaccine that had never been licensed for use in the United States. CDC later admits that parents were never informed that the vaccine being injected to their children was experimental.

1994: With a technique called "gene tracking," Dr. Garth Nicolson at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX discovers that many returning Desert Storm veterans are infected with an altered strain of Mycoplasma incognitus, a microbe commonly used in the production of biological weapons. Incorporated into its molecular structure is 40 percent of the HIV protein coat, indicating that it had been man‑made.

1994: Senator John D. Rockefeller issues a report revealing that for at least 50 years the Department of Defense has used hundreds of thousands of military personnel in human experiments and for intentional exposure to dangerous substances. Materials included mustard and nerve gas, ionizing radiation, psychochemicals, hallucinogens, and drugs used during the Gulf War.

199: U.S. Government admits that it had offered Japanese war criminals and scientists who had performed human medical experiments salaries and immunity from prosecution in exchange for data on biological warfare research.

1995: Dr. Garth Nicolson, uncovers evidence that the biological agents used during the Gulf War had been manufactured in Houston, TX and Boca Raton, Fl and tested on prisoners in the Texas Department of Corrections.

1996: Department of Defense admits that Desert Storm soldiers were exposed to chemical agents.

1997: Eighty‑eight members of Congress sign a letter demanding an investigation into bioweapons use & Gulf War Syndrome.

The United States has a long history of experimentation, on unwitting human subjects, which goes

back to the beginning of this century. Both private firms and the military have used unknowing

human populations to test various theories. However, the extent to which human experimentation

has been a part of the U.S. Biological Weapons programs will probably never be known. The

following examples are taken from information declassified in 1977, and from other private source

accounts. Several involve incidents which are still of unknown origins and which cannot be fully

explained:

1900:

A U.S. doctor doing research in the Philippines infected of number of prisoners with the Plague. He

continued his research by inducing Beriberi in another 29 prisoners. The experiments resulted in

two known fatalities.

1915:

A doctor in Mississippi produced Pellagra in twelve white Mississippi inmates in an attempt to

discover a cure for the disease.

1931:

The Puerto Rican Cancer Experiment was undertaken by Dr. Cornelius Rhoads. Under the

auspices of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Investigations, Rhoads purposely infected his

subjects with cancer cells. Thirteen of the subjects died. When the experiment was uncovered, and

in spite of Rhoads' written opinions that the Puerto Rican population should be eradicated, Rhoads

went on to establish U.S. Army Biological Warfare facilities in Maryland, Utah, and Panama. He

later was named to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission and was at the heart of the recently

revealed radiation experiments on prisoners, hospital patients, and soldiers.

1932:

The Tuskegee Syphilis Study began. Two hundred (200) poor black men with syphilis began a long

term experiment in which those men were to be studied. They were never told of their illness, and

treatment was denied them. As many as 100 of the original 200 died as a direct or indirect result of

the illness. The wives and children of the subjects also suffered as a result of the disease. (The

government office supervising the study was the predecessor to today's Centers for Disease

Control (CDC)).

1940's:

In a crash program to develop new drugs to fight Malaria during World War II, doctors in the

Chicago area infected nearly 400 prisoners with the disease. Although the Chicago inmates were

given general information that they were helping with the war effort, they were not provided

adequate information in accordance with the later standards set by the Nuremberg War Crimes

Tribunal. Nazi doctors on trial at Nuremberg cited the Chicago studies as precedents to defend

their own behavior in aiding the German war effort.

1950:

The U.S. Navy sprayed a cloud of bacteria over San Francisco. The Navy claimed that the bacteria

was harmless, and used only to track a simulated attack, but many San Francisco residents

became ill with pneumonia‑like symptoms, and one is known to have died.

1950 ‑ 1953:

An array of germ warfare weapons were allegedly used against North Korea. Accounts claim that

there were releases of feathers infected with anthrax, fleas and mosquitoes dosed with Plague and

Yellow Fever, and rodents infected with a variety of diseases. These were precisely the same

techniques used in immunity from prosecution in exchange for the results of that research. The

Eisenhower administration later pressed Sedition Charges against three Americans who published

charges of these activities. However, none of those charged were convicted.

1952 ‑ 1953:

In another series of experiments, the U.S. military released clouds of "harmless" gases over six (6)

U.S. and Canadian cities to observe the potential for similar releases under chemical and germ

warfare scenarios. A follow‑up report by the military noted the occurrence of respiratory problems in

the unwitting civilian populations.

1955:

The Tampa Bay area of Florida experienced a sharp rise in Whooping Cough cases, including 12

deaths, after a CIA test where a bacteria withdrawn from the Army's Chemical and Biological

Warfare arsenal was released into the environment. Details of the test are still classified.

1956 ‑ 1958:

In Savannah, Georgia and Avon Park, Florida, the Army carried out field tests in which mosquitoes

were released into residential neighborhoods from both ground level and from aircraft. Many people

were swarmed by Mosquitoes, and fell ill, some even died. After each test, U.S. Army personnel

posing as public health officials photographed and tested the victims. It is theorized that the

mosquitoes were infected with a strain of Yellow Fever. However, details of the testing remain

classified.

1965:

In a three year study, 70 volunteer prisoners at the Holmesburg State Prison in Philadelphia were

subjected to tests of dioxin, the highly toxic chemical contaminant in Agent Orange. Lesions which

the men developed were not treated and remained for up to seven months. None of the subjects

was informed that they would later be studied for the development of cancer. This was the second

such experiment which Dow Chemical undertook on "volunteers" who did not receive the

information which the world proclaimed was necessary for "informed consent" at Nuremberg.

1966:

The U.S. Army dispensed a bacillus throughout the New York City subway system. Materials

available on the incident noted the Army's justification for the experiment was the fact that there are

many subways in the (former) Soviet Union, Europe, and South America. Although there are no

harmful effects known for this release, details of the experiment are still classified.

1968 ‑ 1969:

The CIA experimented with the possibility of poisoning drinking water by injecting a chemical

substance into the water supply of the Food And Drug Administration in Washington, D.C.. There

were no harmful effects noted from this experiment. However, none of the human subjects in the

building were ever asked for their permission, nor was anyone provided with information on the

nature or effects of the chemical used.

1969:

On June 9, 1969, Dr. D.M. McArtor, then Deputy Director of Research and Technology for the

Department of Defense, appeared before the House Subcommittee on Appropriations to request

funding for a project to produce a synthetic biological agent for which humans have not yet acquired

a natural immunity. Dr. McArtor asked for $10 million dollars to produce this agent over the next

5‑10 years. The Congressional Record reveals that according to the plan for the development of

this germ agent, the most important characteristic of the new disease would be "that it might be

refractory [resistant] to the immunological and therapeutic processes upon which we depend to

maintain our relative freedom from infectious disease". AIDS first appeared as a public health risk

ten years later.

1972:

President Nixon announced a ban on the production and use of biological (but not chemical)

warfare agents. However, as the Army's own experts reveal, this ban is meaningless because the

studies required to protect against biological warfare weapons are generally indistinguishable from

those for chemical weapons.

1977:

Ray Ravenhott, director of the population program of the U.S. Agency for International Development

(AID), publicly announced the agency's goal to sterilize one quarter of the world's women. In reports

by the St Louis Post‑Dispatch, Ravenhott in essence cited the reasoning for this being U.S.

corporate interests in avoiding the threat of revolutions which might be spawned by chronic

unemployment.

1980‑1981:

Within months of their incarceration in detention centers in Miami and Puerto Rico, many male

Haitian refugees developed an unusual condition called "gynecomasia". This is a condition in which

males develop full female breasts. A number of the internees at Ft. Allen in Puerto Rico claimed that

they were forced to undergo a series of injections which they believed to be hormones.

1981:

More than 300,000 Cubans were stricken with dengue hemorrhagic fever. An investigation by the

magazine 'Covert Action Information Bulletin', which tracks the workings of various intelligence

agencies around the world, suggested that this outbreak was the result of a release of mosquitoes

by Cuban counterrevolutionaries. The magazine tracked the activities of one CIA operative from a

facility in Panama to the alleged Cuban connections. During the last 30 years, Cuba has been

subjected to an enormous number of outbreaks of human and crop diseases which are difficult to

attribute purely natural causes.

1982:

El Salvadoran trade unionists claimed that epidemics of many previously unknown diseases had

cropped up in areas immediately after U.S. directed aerial bombings. There is no hard evidence to

support these charges. However, the pattern and types of outbreaks are consistent with the claims.

1985:

An outbreak of Dengue fever strikes Managua Nicaragua shortly after an increase of U.S. aerial

reconnaissance missions. Nearly half of the capital city's population was stricken with the disease,

and several deaths have been attributed to the outbreak. It was the first such epidemic in the country

and the outbreak was nearly identical to that which struck Cuba a few years earlier (1981). Dengue

fever variations were the focus of much experimentation at the Army's Biological Warfare test

facility at Ft. Dietrick, Maryland prior to the 'ban' on such research in 1972.

1985:

In ruling on a case in which a former U.S. Army sergeant attempted to bring a lawsuit against the

Army for using experimental drugs on him, without his knowledge, the U.S. Supreme Court

determined that allowing such an action against the military would disrupt the chain of command.

Thus, nearly all potential actions against the military for past, or future, misdeeds have been barred

as have actions aimed at the release of classified documents on the subject.

1987:

As the result of a lawsuit by a public interest group, the Department of Defense was forced to reveal

the fact that it still operated Chemical and Biological Warfare (CBW) research programs at 127

sites around the United States.

1996:

Under pressure from Congress and the public, after a 60 Minutes segment, the U.S. Department of

Defense finally admits that at least 20,000 U.S. servicemen "may" have been exposed to chemical

weapons during operation 'Desert Storm'. This exposure came as a result of the destruction of a

weapons bunker. Causes of the similar illnesses of other troops, who were not in this area, have not

yet been explained, other than as post traumatic stress syndromes. Veterans groups have released

information that many of the problems may be a result of experimental vaccines and innoculations

which were provided troops during the military buildup.

In Savannah, Georgia and Avon Park, Florida, the Army carried

out field tests in which mosquitoes were released into residential

neighborhoods from both ground level and from aircraft. Many

people were swarmed by Mosquitoes, and fell ill, some even died.

After each test, U.S. Army personnel posing as public health

officials photographed and tested the victims. It is theorized

that the mosquitoes were infected with a strain of Yellow Fever.

However, details of the testing remain classified.

1955:

The Tampa Bay area of Florida experienced a sharp rise in

Whooping Cough cases, including 12 deaths, after a CIA test

where a bacteria withdrawn from the Army's Chemical and

Biological Warfare arsenal was released into the environment.

Details of the test are still classified.

1952 ‑ 1953:

In another series of experiments, the U.S. military released

clouds of "harmless" gases over six (6) U.S. and Canadian

cities to observe the potential for similar releases under

chemical and germ warfare scenarios. A follow‑up report

by the military noted the occurrence of respiratory problems

in the unwitting civilian populations.

1950 ‑ 1953:

An array of germ warfare weapons were allegedly used against

North Korea. Accounts claim that there were releases of feathers

infected with anthrax, fleas and mosquitoes dosed with Plague

and Yellow Fever, and rodents infected with a variety of diseases.

These were precisely the same techniques used in immunity

from prosecution in exchange for the results of that research.

The Eisenhower administration later pressed Sedition Charges

against three Americans who published charges of these

activities. However, none of those charged were convicted.

1950:

The U.S. Navy sprayed a cloud of bacteria over San Francisco.

The Navy claimed that the bacteria was harmless, and used only

to track a simulated attack, but many San Francisco residents

became ill with pneumonia‑like symptoms, and one is known

to have died.

1940's:

In a crash program to develop new drugs to fight Malaria

during World War II, doctors in the Chicago area infected nearly

400 prisoners with the disease. Although the Chicago inmates

were given general information that they were helping with the

war effort, they were not provided adequate information in

accordance with the later standards set by the Nuremberg

War Crimes Tribunal. Nazi doctors on trial at Nuremberg cited

the Chicago studies as precedents to defend their own

behavior in aiding the German war effort.

1932:

The Tuskegee Syphilis Study began. Two hundred (200) poor

black men with syphilis began a long term experiment in which

those men were to be studied. They were never told of their

illness, and treatment was denied them. As many as 100 of the

original 200 died as a direct or indirect result of the illness.

The wives and children of the subjects also suffered as a result

of the disease. (The government office supervising the study

was the predecessor to today's Centers for Disease

Control (CDC)).

1931:

The Puerto Rican Cancer Experiment was undertaken by

Dr. Cornelius Rhoads. Under the auspices of the Rockefeller

Institute for Medical Investigations, Rhoads purposely infected

his subjects with cancer cells. Thirteen of the subjects died.

When the experiment was uncovered, and in spite of Rhoads'

written opinions that the Puerto Rican population should be

eradicated, Rhoads went on to establish U.S. Army Biological

Warfare facilities in Maryland, Utah, and Panama. He later was

named to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission and was at

the heart of the recently revealed radiation experiments

on prisoners, hospital patients, and soldiers.

1915:

A doctor in Mississippi produced Pellagra in twelve

white Mississippi inmates in an attempt to discover

a cure for the disease.

A GOOD QUESTION:

What did the USA find to do with the 4,500 Nazi scientists

who were secretly (Operation Paperclip) escorted out of

Germany towards the end of World War Two and taken

to the USA where they were given new homes and

identities? [The present USA president's grandfather,

reportedly, helped finance Hitler's party in the 1930s]

Don't you think it's time we found out?

Don't you think it's time we found out a LOT of things?
