A History of Secret Human Experimentations
A History of Secret Human Experimentations
This is Compiled from Two
different
sources1931
- 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 - I n
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.
1955 - 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 -
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.
On the 3rd October
1995, President Clinton publicly apologized to
the thousands of people who became victims of MK ULTRA and other mind-control
experimental programs.
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.
Read about the History
of CIA Atrocities
Chapter - In
1947, the Navy conducted the first known post-war mind control program, Project
CHAPTER, which continued the drug experiments. Decades later, journalists and
investigators still haven't uncovered much information about this project - or,
indeed, about any of the military's other excursions into this field. We know
that the Army eventually founded operations THIRD CHANCE and DERBY HAT; other
project names remain mysterious, though the existence of these programs is
unquestionable.Chatter
- 1951 Project CHATTER, a highly classified Navy
program to search for a truth drug, began. They were looking for a way to make
someone talk "fast" in the event of a security emergency. These experiments used
barbiturates, amphetamines, and heroin. The drugs were supplied by the Bureau of
Narcotics and pharmaceutical companies. Some of the experimental subjects
included the scientists themselves, and mostly students. 1953 Project CHATTER
was abandoned by the
Navy.Bluebird
- 1950 Project BLUEBIRD was approved by the
first CIA Director, Roscoe Hillenkoetter. He also approved the use of
unvouchered funds to pay for its sensitive areas. This began the CIA's first
structured behavioral control program. Their goals consisted of "controlling an
individual to the point where he will do our bidding against his will and even
against such fundamental laws of nature as self-preservation." Some of their
experimental subjects included North Korean prisoners of war and suspected
double agents.The newly-formed CIA
plunged into this cesspool in 1950, with Project BLUEBIRD, rechristened
ARTICHOKE in 1951. To establish a "cover story" for this research, the CIA
funded a propaganda effort designed to convince the world that the Communist
Bloc had devised insidious new methods of re-shaping the human will; the CIA's
own efforts could therefore, if exposed, be explained as an attempt to "catch
up" with Soviet and Chinese work. The primary promoter of this "line" was one
Edward Hunter, a CIA contract employee operating undercover as a journalist,
and, later, a prominent member of the John Birch society. (Hunter was an OSS
veteran of the China theatre - the same spawning grounds which produced Richard
Helms, Howard Hunt, Mitch WerBell, Fred Chrisman, Paul Helliwell and a host of
other noteworthies who came to dominate that strange land where the worlds of
intelligence and right-wing extremism
meet.Hunter offered "brainwashing" as
the explanation for the numerous confessions signed by American prisoners of war
during the Korean War and (generally) UN-recanted upon the prisoners'
repatriation. These confessions alleged that the United States used germ warfare
in the Korean conflict, a claim which the American public of the time found
impossible to accept. Many years later, however, investigative reporters
discovered that Japan's germ warfare specialists (who had wreaked incalculable
terror on the conquered Chinese during WWII) had been mustered into the American
national security apparat - and that the knowledge gleaned from Japan's
horrifying germ warfare experiments probably WAS used in Korea, just as the
"brainwashed" soldiers had indicated. Thus, we now know that the entire
brainwashing scare of the 1950s constituted a CIA hoax perpetrated upon the
American public: CIA deputy director Richard Helms admitted as much when, in
1963, he told the Warren Commission that Soviet mind control research
consistently lagged years behind American
effortsArtichoke
1951 Project BLUEBIRD was renamed Project ARTICHOKE. The CIA director
approved a liaison with the Army and Navy who were interested in finding a truth
drug. Another liaison was formed with the Air Force who wanted to study
interrogation techniques. Information was also exchanged with the Canadian and
British governments.Some of Project
ARTICHOKE's experimental subjects included: suspected agents, suspected double
agents, people who "had a known reason for deception," American college students
(supposedly for more benign testing), and foreigners (since the CIA was more
likely to try certain procedures out on them rather than American citizens.)
"Terminal," or "to the death" experiments were usually carried out in other
countries.According to Bowart, the
control method used on two agents involved drugs and hypnosis (narco-hypnosis).
The subjects were hypnotically regressed and made to relive past experiences.
Posthypnotic suggestions were given to induce total amnesia of their
interrogations. The CIA called this experiment "very
successful."Castigate
- 1952 Project CASTIGATE began when the Navy and
the CIA teamed up to test a "secret potion" that consisted of a depressant, a
stimulant, and the active ingredient in marijuana. The drugs were to be
administered over a three-day period. The experiment was carried out in Germany
at a secret CIA base on a military installation. Experimental subjects included
one known double agent, one suspected double agent and three defectors. Project
CASTIGATE was considered a
failure.MKNAOMI
- 1952 MKNAOMI (Pronounced M-K NAOMI with M-K standing for mind control.) TSS's
agreement with the Special Operations Division of the Army's biological research
center at Fort Detrick, Maryland. SOD's job was to produce germ weapons for the
CIA's use.I (Boyd E. Graves, J.D.)have
been asked to give my perspective with regard to the federal program MK-NAOMI .
MK-NAOMI is the code for the development of AIDS. The “MK” portion
stands for the two co-authors of the AIDS virus, Robert Manaker and Paul Kotin.
The “NAOMI” portion stands for “Negroes are Only Momentary
Individuals.” The U.S. government continues to orchestrate silence from
the very top echelons of the Congress and military. At present there is no
accountability. The good people will ultimately create a tsunami of public
outrage. We can not allow the state an autocratic right to govern outside of the
Constitution. Our society is structured to hide crimes committed by the state,
while punishing citizens for minor indiscretions. Their strategy focuses on the
general confusion they can create via manipulation of the media. They are very
good at what they do. We must become more focused in our continued presentation
of the flowchart. The flowchart is the absolute missing link in proving the
existence of a coordinated research program to develop a cancer virus that
depletes the immune system. New diseases do not create old
illnesses.MKULTRA
- 1953 MKULTRA, a CIA program for the covert use
of biological and chemical weapons began. Bowart states, "According to CIA
documents, MKULTRA was 'an umbrella project for funding sensitive projects' and
covered 'policy and procedures for the use of biochemicals in clandestine
operations...' " "MKULTRA was exempted from normal CIA financial controls and
allowed TSS to begin research projects without contracts or written agreements."
TSS stands for Technical Services Staff and was an agency referred to as "the
Gadget Wizards," similar to what "Q" is to James
Bond.As usual, MKDELTA and MKNAOMI had
already been set up prior to the CIA being given official permission for
MKULTRA. MKDELTA became the operational side of
MKULTRA.MKULTRA focused on drugs,
specifically LSD since the CIA had a phobia about LSD ending up in the hands of
the Russians. The CIA wanted to use LSD as a weapon. The Russians and the Cold
War were used as a national security excuse for most of the CIA's actions. The
CIA studied hundreds of other drugs besides LSD, as well as experimenting with:
"radiation, electroshock, psychology, sociology, anthropology, psychiatry,
harassment substances and paramilitary devices and
materials."It appears that the
scientists enjoyed trying these drugs on themselves, but they also used many
hospital patients, volunteers (mostly students), inmates who were usually paid
for their participation with more drugs, and eventually anyone the CIA could
get, without their consent, of course. The CIA "scientists" even reduced
themselves to misting and spraying unwitting American citizens as they walked
down busy city streets. Later they would study how they could manipulate genes,
and develop compounds that could simulate heart attack and
stroke. MK-Ultra: The CIA and

MKSEARCH
1964 MKULTRA became MKSEARCH. Many sub-projects stayed under MKULTRA while the
most sensitive behavioral experiments went to MKSEARCH. These experiments were
conducted on prisoners, terminal cancer patients and people who were described
as mental "defectives." They also used radar waves on monkeys' brains (which
risked "cooking" their brains) and one scientist took the head of one monkey and
tried to attach it to the body of another. Other experiments involved studying
telepathy, radio frequencies and
memory.-MKSEARCH continued into the
early 1970's, and more experiments were performed under ORD, the Office of
Research and Development. Some of these experiments consisted of implanting
electrodes into the brains of cats, dogs, and reptiles and controlling the
animals remotely. Animal experiments were always (and still are) performed first
and heinously, but we don't hear much about these
atrocities.According to Bowart, the
following agencies were involved in behavior modification and behavioral
research projects: the Defense Department, the Department of Labor, the National
Science Foundation, the Veteran's Administration, the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare, the National Institute of Mental Health, the Law
Enforcement Assistance Administration (under the Department of Justice). "All of
the above agencies were named in secret CIA documents as those who provided
research 'cover' for
MKULTRA."Often/ Chickwit
-1967 Or 1968, Project OFTEN/CHICKWIT was
initiated by the Army Chemical Corps and the CIA's Office of Research and
Development to create new drug compounds "that could be used offensively."
Hallucinogens were tested on inmates in Pennsylvania, but very little is known
about the experiments. "CIA documents mention 'several laboratory accidents' in
which a drug designated as EA-3167 produced 'prolonged psychotic effects in
laboratory personnel' "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

drug testing continued throughout the 1970s since, "A CIA memo dated March 8,
1971, indicates that a backlog of more than twenty-six thousand drugs had been
acquired 'for future
screening'Third

Mockingbird
- This unlikely land of enchantment is the
creation of MOCKINGBIRD. It was conceived in the late 1940s, the most frigid
period of the cold war, when the CIA began a systematic infiltration of the
corporate media, a process that often included direct takeover of major news
outlets. In this period, the American
intelligence services competed with communist activists abroad to influence
European labor unions. With or without the cooperation of local governments,
Frank Wisner, an undercover State Department official assigned to the Foreign
Service, rounded up students abroad to enter the cold war underground of covert
operations on behalf of his Office of Policy Coordination. Philip Graham, __a
graduate of the Army Intelligence School in Harrisburg, PA, then publisher of
the Washington Post., was taken under Wisner's wing to direct the program
code-named Operation
MOCKINGBIRDOperation MOCKINGBIRD —
The CIA begins recruiting American news organizations and journalists to become
spies and disseminators of propaganda. The effort is headed by Frank Wisner,
Allan Dulles, Richard Helms and Philip Graham. Graham is publisher of The
Washington Post, which becomes a major CIA player. Eventually, the CIA’s
media assets will include ABC, NBC, CBS, Time, Newsweek, Associated Press,
United Press International, Reuters, Hearst Newspapers, Scripps-Howard, Copley
News Service and more. By the CIA’s own admission, at least 25
organizations and 400 journalists will become CIA
assets."Whispers" is a collection of
case histories of paranoia that Siegel had studied. One of these cases is a man
named Tolman who believes that his mind is being controlled by computers via a
satellite system named POSSE (Personal Orbiting Satellite for Surveillance and
Enforcement). Siegel implies that claims like this are similar to the James
Tilly Matthews case. And indeed they are, but it is clear that Siegel is trying
to dismiss Tolman's claims by implying that similar reports existed two
centuries before this technology could have
existed. Theunjustmedia.com
