Dear friends,

Below is a comprehensive list of the use of humans as guinea pigs in biological experiments. Unfortunately, there are no links to confirm the information presented presented. However, having researched this subject quite thoroughly, I can tell you that I have read about almost all of these experiments in reliable books with footnotes providing information on how to verify these facts.

The three books mentioned in the mind control section of our resources list at www.WantToKnow.info/resources#mindcontrol contain most of this information, which you can verify using the relevant footnotes.

Many in the government and military sadly feel no compulsion to inform us of when they use us in experiments. Note that a number of these experiments specifically targeted minorities and those in poor areas. By exposing this information, we can help to build the critical mass necessary to put a stop to all of this. Please help to spread the word.

With very best wishes, Fred Burks for the WantToKnow.info team

History of Experimentation on Human Guinea Pigs

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 occurred within poverty-stricken 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 Commission 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 Francisco. 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.

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.

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 - Project 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.

1995 - 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.

Exposed: the great GM crops myth

Published on Sunday, May 04, 2008.

Source: The Independent

Genetic modification actually cuts the productivity of crops, an authoritative new study shows, undermining repeated claims that a switch to the controversial technology is needed to solve the growing world food crisis.

The study – carried out over the past three years at the University of Kansas in the US grain belt – has found that GM soya produces about 10 per cent less food than its conventional equivalent, contradicting assertions by advocates of the technology that it increases yields.

Professor Barney Gordon, of the university's department of agronomy, said he started the research – reported in the journal Better Crops – because many farmers who had changed over to the GM crop had "noticed that yields are not as high as expected even under optimal conditions". He added: "People were asking the question 'how come I don't get as high a yield as I used to?'"

He grew a Monsanto GM soybean and an almost identical conventional variety in the same field. The modified crop produced only 70 bushels of grain per acre, compared with 77 bushels from the non-GM one.

The GM crop – engineered to resist Monsanto's own weedkiller, Roundup – recovered only when he added extra manganese, leading to suggestions that the modification hindered the crop's take-up of the essential element from the soil. Even with the addition it brought the GM soya's yield to equal that of the conventional one, rather than surpassing it.

The new study confirms earlier research at the University of Nebraska, which found that another Monsanto GM soya produced 6 per cent less than its closest conventional relative, and 11 per cent less than the best non-GM soya available.

The Nebraska study suggested that two factors are at work. First, it takes time to modify a plant and, while this is being done, better conventional ones are being developed. This is acknowledged even by the fervently pro-GM US Department of Agriculture, which has admitted that the time lag could lead to a "decrease" in yields.

But the fact that GM crops did worse than their near-identical non-GM counterparts suggest that a second factor is also at work, and that the very process of modification depresses productivity. The new Kansas study both confirms this and suggests how it is happening.

A similar situation seems to have happened with GM cotton in the US, where the total US crop declined even as GM technology took over. (See graphic above.)

Monsanto said yesterday that it was surprised by the extent of the decline found by the Kansas study, but not by the fact that the yields had dropped. It said that the soya had not been engineered to increase yields, and that it was now developing one that would.

Critics doubt whether the company will achieve this, saying that it requires more complex modification. And Lester Brown, president of the Earth Policy Institute in Washington – and who was one of the first to predict the current food crisis – said that the physiology of plants was now reaching the limits of the productivity that could be achieved.

A former champion crop grower himself, he drew the comparison with human runners. Since Roger Bannister ran the first four-minute mile more than 50 years ago, the best time has improved only modestly . "Despite all the advances in training, no one contemplates a three-minute mile."

Andrew Fox

Last week the biggest study of its kind ever conducted - the International Assessment of Agricultural Science and Technology for Development - concluded that GM was not the answer to world hunger

Professor Bob Watson, the director of the study and chief scientist at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when asked if GM could solve world hunger, said: "The simple answer is no."

food is medicine.

simple.

its primary purpose(s) is/are to ideally enhance, and at least preserve our physical->mental->spiritual well being.

after taking x billion years to arrive at her current state, man seeks to circumvent nature, by removing the key ingredients that preserve sound biological functioning. ie; the ability to germinate/recreate, which is at the root of all life, inhalation/intake, exhalation/excretion processes.

puhlease!

other realities provide monsanto et al current agenda for food production. ie: the rest of the world is waking up, no longer in slumber. the need to control their basic needs is at the root of their 'cause'

There will always be a trade off between a good trait that reduces the cost of production and or chemical input, and ultimate yield. But in the presence of that disease on a conventional variety, the yield would be significantly reduced to below the cost of production.
Wageningen University in the Netherlands has isolated a gene in rice that allows the plant to continue to grow when under drought stress. Not only that, but these plants also grew and prospered in saline conditions. In a world that is undergoing climatic shift, and the resulting pressure on fresh water, these are desirable traits to help feed the worlds increasing population.
That is what GM crops can do, not “just” increase yield

David Rockefeller (CFR founder), page 405 of his 2002 book Memoirs: "Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it." ISBN-13: 978-0812969733

This article is so dumb!

Of course a plant designed to resist a herbicide will produce less under the same conditions!

Otherwise it is manipulating the laws of physics!

The plant is having to produce extra proteins to deal with the Chemical, thus it has less enery for growth.

I had always suspected that the "real" advantage of GM crops was that the growers would always have to go back to the "rights owner" e.g. Monsanto, for more seed and supplies for each new crop. If this were true could there be some "connection" between the US government support of GM development, and lobbyists for Monsanto and "friends"?
Am I being too cynical, or forgetting any other beneficiaries?

Hey two words SONIC BLOOM. Dan Carlson created it years ago and there are now hundreds of world records being broken with NON-GMO plants. Its organic and it works. Try 15 ft tall corn with 3-5 ears per stalk (most over 12" long) and nutritious to boot. I agree there should be arrests made of these MONSATAN people. Arrests and trials

It has been pointed out that the aim of the genetic modification in this case was not to increase yields. But this prompts the question: Why not? That's the most obvious thing to increase for a positive economic impact. I think the answer is that Monsanto were not able to achieve this so far and won't necessarily do so in the future.

This chapter from an excellent book called Natural Capitalism will put you in a good mindset to see the massive flaws in genetic engineering of crops.

In the U.S.A, the GM producer lobbied very strongly to prevent mention on food content labels. They won and effectively took over the entire food production chain, without too much notice, beyond their incessant P.R. declaration about how "We're feeding the world!"

Most Americans don't know they're on a GM diet now every day. Not just fruit and vegetables... poultry and cattle are fattened on GM sugar corn and other grains. You can not avoid eating GM anywhere in the States now unless you do considerable research and make an enormous effort to buy normal unadulterated food.

The GM producer now wants the entire European market, but fortunately we do have the European Union. Monsanto, in tandem with American trade origansations, fight hard and dirty to cram it down our throats. Especially to prevent us, European consumers, the right to be informed on a package label. Or require further study of long range effects.

This by the same company which brought the world Agent Orange...

In these people's quest for money and power they're f%^$ing up the whole world and the balance of nature that has slowly evolved to perfection over millions of years. Yeah, you're smarter than God. Idiots. These educated fools, with their big degrees and their learned intelligence are an absolute danger to mankind. And it's a shame they didn't learn squat about ethics or humanity.
You dummies missed the point of it all.
It's too bad we can't genetically modify stupid people. If we could just cross half these people with a rock we'd be doing a LOT better. You GM jenioushes should try to figure that one out instead.

When the bees are gone these dummies might just get a clue.

Yes, I agree to this fully. Thank God now we have found GM is bad The Hibrid and GM produced seeds cant be sown again, and the Farmers are made slaves of the Multi nationals who produce Cross bred seeds and saplings.
The real Prosperity & Sufficency comes from the law of God
from the Bible.
GEN 1:11 Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

GE 1:29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.

Note the word "Seed" how many times it is repeated. Here seed means " Natural Reproduction System" Let us come back to our senses. In God's Economy Seeds are free with the fruit

"Early in 1998, with permission from the Rowett Research Institute, Árpád Pusztai agreed to be interviewed about his research for a television news program. In the short clip aired on the program he said that his findings led him to believe that more research was needed on the health impacts of foods from genetically modified crops and that he would be reluctant to eat GM foods until more was known. Within days, Pusztai was suspended from his job and forbidden to speak about his work to anyone in the press. A few months later he was fired, and not long after his wife and co-researcher was also forced out of her senior position at the research institute. The other study collaborator, Dr. Stanley W. B. Ewen, retained his position at the University of Aberdeen until 2001, when he retired. In Andrew Rowell’s book Don’t Worry (It’s Safe to Eat) Ewen says that the climate in his department became cool after publication of the study results and influenced his choice to retire early."

I can't wait to have Prof. Pusztai's research corroborated by some courageous researcher, as well. Monsanto has lied and lied and lied.

This article appeared the same day, who is writing all the propaganda and paying for it?

Why would politicians and giant corporations spend so much money on propaganda in less it was to control the world's food Supply and that is exactly what this is about an attempt to control production of food.

You must buy the seed from them and they will control every aspect of food growth and production.

Very interesting story. Nice to see the biotech industry propaganda exposed. Keith says it's "not a secret" "that many first generation GM crops have reduced yields." On the contrary, the biotech companies and their front groups have invested millions to promote the "increased yield" myth and it's been almost universally accepted. For one of Dr. Gordon's papers, see: http://www.ppi-ppic.org/ppiweb/bcrops.nsf/$webindex/70ABDB50A75463F085257394001B157F/$file/07-4p12.pdf.
Another biotech industry myth (i.e. lie) that needs exposing relates to pesticide use. 81% of global GM crop area is planted to pesticide-promoting herbicide-tolerant crops, chiefly the Roundup Ready crops that Dr. Gordon studied. This has led to an INCREASE in herbicide use. See http://www.centerforfoodsafety.org/WhoBenefitsPR2_13_08.cfm which provides a link to a report that proves this, based on USDA data.
