  • Secret US Human Biological Experimentation
    Secret US Human Biological Experimentation http://www.apfn.org/apfn/experiment.htm 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.

Think again: This timeline, originally put together by Dani Veracity (a NaturalNews reporter), has been edited and updated with recent vaccination experimentation programs in Maryland and New Jersey. Here's what's really happening in the United States when it comes to exploiting the public for medical experimentation: (1845 - 1849) J. Marion Sims, later hailed as the "father of gynecology," performs medical experiments on enslaved African women without anesthesia . These women would usually die of infection soon after surgery. Based on his belief that the movement of newborns' skull bones during protracted births causes trismus, he also uses a shoemaker's awl, a pointed tool shoemakers use to make holes in leather, to practice moving the skull bones of babies born to enslaved mothers ( Brinker ). (1895) New York pediatrician Henry Heiman infects a 4-year-old boy whom he calls "an idiot with chronic epilepsy" with gonorrhea as part of a medical experiment ( "Human Experimentation: Before the Nazi Era and After" ).

  • SIPRI Yearbook 2004: Armaments, Disarmament and International
    16. Chemical and biological warfare developments and arms control RICHARD GUTHRIE, JOHN HART, FRIDA KUHLAU and JACQUELINE SIMON I. Introduction A new form of annual meetings for states parties to the 1972 Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC)1 and the First Review Conference of the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) were held in 2003,2 and a new ad hoc cooperative mechanism aimed at stopping the spread of chemical and biological methods of warfare, the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI), was established.3 In 2003 the military occupation of Iraq also occurred, and Libya unilaterally renounced chemical and biological weapons. The first of the annual series of expert and political meetings of states par- ties to the BTWC was held in accordance with the decision of the reconvened 2002 Fifth BTWC Review Conference. These are scheduled to continue until the Sixth Review Conference in 2006. The focus of the meetings in 2003 was on ensuring that the parties adopt the necessary national measures to imple- ment the convention’s prohibitions, including through the enactment of penal legislation, and on establishing and effectively implementing national mechan- isms to maintain the security and oversight of pathogenic organisms and toxins. The First Review Conference of the CWC agreed two documents: a political declaration and a consolidated review document that identifies implementation areas requiring attention and recommends measures for improvement. A special conference of the parties to the CWC, held during the review confer- ence, took a final decision to implement a policy that limits the tenure of employees in the Technical Secretariat (TS) of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to seven years.
