The United States government is evil to it's core.

The Human Radiation Experiments

This book describes, in fascinating detail, a variety of experiments sponsored by the U.S. government in which people were exposed to radiation without their knowledge. After reviewing hundreds of thousands of documents from the Atomic Energy Commission and other agencies, the Advisory Committee appointed by President Clinton in January 1994 found that nearly 4,000 human radiation experiments--most involving very low doses of radioactive tracers--were sponsored by the federal government between 1944-1974. This book documents these findings to provide a fascinating if not disturbing reminder of both the shocking standards for human experimentation and the practice of government secrecy in recent history.

Carried out at the height of the Cold War, experiments included feeding radioactive cereal to teenagers at a school for the mentally retarded, irradiating the testicles of prison inmates, injecting plutonium into hospital patients, and intentional releases of radiation into the environment. The book places these experiments within their historical context, and a review of the relevant government policies and ethics standards at the time is included. The analysis is then applied to contemporary research on human subjects. The book concludes with a discussion of the Committee's key findings and a set of recommendations for changes in institutional review boards, the interpretation of ethics rules and policies, the conduct of research involving military personnel, the oversight and accountability for ethical violations, compensation for research injuries, and balancing national securities interests with the rights of the public. This compelling volume will prove to be a landmark in the development of standards for human experimentation. Ethicists, public health professionals and those interested in the history of medicine and Cold War history will be intrigued by the findings in this volume.

the bombs... I completely agree with you.

Was EVERYTHING we were taught a LIE???!! :mad:

FORMERLY SECRET FILES in London and Washington now reveal that Japan was trying to surrender, and had put out the most serious peace messages, three weeks before the atomic bombs were dropped; and that Joseph Stalin, Winston Churchill, and the other Allied leaders were aware of this.

In December 1946 a Liberal Member of Parliament challenged the British government to admit it. Internal documents of the Foreign Office show that they deduced that the M.P. knew the truth, but although the F.O. felt it was time to come clean ("it would be unwise to continue unofficially to conceal the fact") prime minister Clement Attlee fobbed off the M.P. with evasive answers, out of deference to the feelings of U.S. President Harry S Truman.

Some think it's still up for debate, but frankly... I've become so disgusted at the thing that we have done that are proven, I don't doubt it. Perhaps I'm jaded.

Was Hiroshima Necessary?


Sep. 5, 1960
Did the U.S. have to drop the atom bombs on Japan in 1945? The raids on Hiroshima and Nagasaki are justified by ex-President Harry Truman on the ground that "it was my responsibility to force the Japanese warlords to come to terms as quickly as possible with the minimum loss of lives." Most U.S. military men, bent on unconditional surrender, backed him up. Last week the old question got a new airing in the wake of a report by Cowles newspaper Correspondents Fletcher Knebel and Charles Bailey, who were permitted to read still-secret State Department records of the Potsdam Conference...

Excellent Article:

HIROSHIMA and Nagasaki claimed yet another victim in May.
This time it was Martin Harwit, director of the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum, the most popular museum in the United States. Harwit resigned to defuse criticism by conservatives in Congress over the museum's initial plan for exhibiting the Enola Gay, the Boeing B-29 that bombed Hiroshima, Japan.
The Air Force Association that led the attack on the Smithsonian wanted an exhibit commemorating the knockout punch that ended the war.
Smithsonian curators wanted a broader exhibit, one that recounted the horrors of the two bombings and the dawning of a terrible new age.
"When people look at the Enola Gay, they bring lots of messages with them," said Thomas Crouch, a curator for the exhibit. "The controversy started before the first script was completed. This one was just enormously difficult. These issues are enormously complex."
And sometimes surprising. Consider, as examples, the feelings of Ken Nakano, a Boeing engineer who lives in Kirkland and who was a victim of the Hiroshima bombing, and Edward Teller, the famed hydrogen-bomb physicist and Cold Warrior.
Nakano thinks the Hiroshima bombing was necessary.
Teller regrets that scientists didn't push for a demonstration explosion as an alternative.

you think it is.... it is actually much much worse than you can imagine.

figure out how bad you think it could be from what you been taught.
multiply it by 10 , then double it.

pessimist ... realist, who knows? But the truth is stranger than fiction

'plausible deniability'

one CAPTIVE victim actually won a settlement against the fricking Mengele who tortured her with LSD, among other 'stimuli'

by Pulitizer prize winning journalist Eileen Welsome who uncovered this stuff quite by accident.

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0385314027.01._BO2,204,203,200_PIlitb-dp-500-arrow,TopRight,32,-59_AA240_SH20_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

One of the nastiest secrets was an experiment designed to determine how much plutonium a human could safely handle. In that experiment, conducted in the mid-1940s, 18 people -- 17 American adults and one Australian child -- were injected with plutonium without their knowledge or consent. Although the scientists defended it as necessary to ensure the safety of workers in the nuclear-weapons program, they also realized that it could create a public-relations nightmare if the story ever leaked.

When a congressional committee uncovered evidence of the experiment in the 1980s, there was indeed public outrage and disbelief that our government could conduct an experiment that seemed akin to what the Nazis did in World War II. Yet the outrage never translated to action, and the experiment slowly faded from the public consciousness. Then, six years ago, reporter Eileen Welsome unearthed one new, vital fact about the experiment -- the names of the people injected with plutonium -- and struck a national nerve.

In November 1993, The Albuquerque Tribune published her series, giving names and faces to people known until then only by numbers assigned them by the government. With that simple step of transforming bureaucratic numbers into flesh and blood -- a step that took her years of research to accomplish -- Welsome touched off a firestorm of protest and activity that finally penetrated the cloak of secrecy surrounding the experiments.

Now Welsome, who won a Pulitzer Prize for her reporting, has used that information to tell a cautionary tale of secrecy run amok. Welsome piles on detail to show how doctors used their patients as guinea pigs. The result is a remarkably detailed history of a hitherto hidden world.

Plutonium Files: How the U.S. Secretly Fed Radioactivity to Thousands of Americans

In a Massachusetts school, seventy-three disabled children were spoon-fed oatmeal laced with radioactive isotopes. In an upstate New York hospital, an eighteen-year-old woman believing she was being treated for a pituitary disorder, was injected with plutonium. At a Tennessee clinic, 829 pregnant women were served "vitamin cocktails" containing radioactive iron, as part of their regular treatment.

No these are not acts of terrorism by common criminals.

These are just some of the secret human radiation experiments that the U.S. government conducted on unsuspecting Americans for decades as part of its atom bomb program. In a gruesome plot that spanned 30 years, doctors and scientists working with the US atomic weapons program, exposed thousands of unwilling and unknowing Americans to radiation poisoning to study its effects.

For years, the experiments by the U.S. government and the identities of their human guinea pigs were covered up. Then after a six-year investigation, investigative reporter Eileen Welsome uncovered the names of 18 people who were injected with plutonium in the 1940s without their knowledge by federal government scientists. In 1993, she published her finding in The Albuquerque Tribune and later received the Pulitzer Prize for her work.
