Unit 731, US's Illegal Bioweapons Testing and Covid - Part 2

Illegal Bioweapons Testing within the US and The War Crimes That Were Kept Secret

Part 1 of this article is here.

The Rockefeller Foundation Connection

If you remember anything about Operation Paperclip, you might also remember that the Rockefeller Foundation was also involved in bringing European (mainly German) scientists over to the United States through its Special Research Aid Fund for Deposed Scholars.

Was Unit 731's Research Ever Shut Down?

One could say that the last few years has been one giant field test of biological and surgical research on the United States and the world. You could read Bioclandestine's sub-stack on gain of function research and Ukraine Lab's to see that the research is still ongoing... but just rebranded under a different name. But what about here in the United States?

"The U.S. General Accounting Office issued a report on September 28, 1994, which stated that between 1940 and 1974, DOD and other national security agencies studied hundreds of thousands of human subjects in tests and experiments involving hazardous substances."

Note that in a few short hours I found hundreds of examples of human experimentation tied in to these organizations and events. I was shocked. How could something that has been going on for decades, of which there are MANY news articles written about it, just pass by unnoticed? The connections were all there and they all pointed to the research going on at Ft. Detrick under the US Army.

These experiments were not limited to volunteers. They included prisoners, mental patients, military personnel, and American citizens just living out their lives.

Vanderbilt Radioactive Experiments

During the 1940s, 800 pregnant women, the poor patrons of a prenatal clinic at Vanderbilt University, were given a "cocktail" including a tracer dose of radioactive iron. The object of the experiment was to determine the iron requirements of pregnant women.

This experiment was sponsored by the federal government.

The Guatemala Experiment

Between 1945 and 1956 the government, along with the Rockefeller Foundation, John Hopkins University, and Bristol-Myers Squibb, played a huge role in conducting an experiment where they infected hundreds of Guatemalans with sexually transmitted diseases. The people infected were prison inmates, psychiatric patients, prostitutes, and soldiers. The diseases they were infected with included gonorrhea, syphilis, and chancroid.

During World War II, STDs became a scourge for American troops. Dr. Joseph Earle Moore, chairman of the Subcommittee on Venereal Diseases for the National Research Council, estimated that gonorrhea could account for seven million lost days of work a year for the war effort, according to correspondence notes pored over by the Bioethics Commission. Army and Navy leaders, as well as prominent figures in public health agencies, agreed that the prevalence of STDs among American soldiers and the resulting lost manpower required serious attention; substantial resources, they argued, should be committed to STD research and prevention.

In addition to cotton swabs and intracutaneous injection, researchers began scarifying male subjects' penises before swabbing them with syphilis emulsions, hoping to increase transmission rates.

[Dr. John C. Cutler] would not begin intentionally infecting Guatemalans with STDs until about six months later, in February of 1947. His first major study group would be the Guatemalan Army—the same army Cutler had, in the preceding months, treated with penicillin—scarce and coveted in the city—and drew up an STD prevention plan for.

In total, 446 psychiatric patients were intentionally exposed to syphilis between May of 1947 and October of 1948; 71 patients in the psychiatric hospital died during the experiments.

Shortly before the Guatemala proposal, the NIH Research Grants Office was created.

In 2011 a lawsuit against the US government regarding these actions was dismissed against the US government on the grounds that "the US government cannot be held liable for actions committed outside of the US." There is still a $1 billion lawsuit ongoing against the Rockefeller Foundation, John Hopkins University, and Bristol-Myers Squibb.

The Guatemala Experiments

Dr. John C. Cutler was a prominent figure in human experimentation. He conducted the Terre Haute prison experiments in the 1940's, the Sing Sing prison vaccine experiments in 1954, and the Tuskegee syphilis experiments in the 1960's to 1970's.

Plutonium Experiments

In 1946 through 1947…

18 patients, most of them terminally ill, were injected with plutonium in an effort to determine how the radioactive chemical would spread through the body. In some cases, plutonium was injected into limbs which were amputated post-mortem for study. One of the subjects was a four-year-old boy.

This experiment was sponsored by the federal government.

1949 Pentagon Biological Weapons Experiment

"The US biological weapons program started during World War II. But the first real public test didn’t happen until 1949, when scientists put harmless bacteria in the air conditioning system at the Pentagon to see what a biological weapon might look like."

Fernald School Science Club Experiments

During the 1950s, in experiments conducted in part by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, mentally retarded boys in the school's "science club" were fed radioactive calcium and iron with their breakfast cereal. Boys who agreed to participate received club privileges, including extra milk and trips to baseball games and the beach.

St. Louis Cold War Chemical Tests

In the mid-1950s, and again a decade later, the Army used motorized blowers atop a low income housing high-rise, at schools and from the backs of station wagons to send a potentially dangerous compound into the already-hazy air in predominantly black areas of St. Louis.

Local officials were told at the time that the government was testing a smoke screen that could shield St. Louis from aerial observation in case the Russians attacked.

But in 1994, the government said the tests were part of a biological-weapons program and St. Louis was chosen because it bore some resemblance to Russian cities that the U.S. might attack. The material being sprayed was zinc cadmium sulfide, a fine fluorescent powder.

Secret Cold War Chemical Tests in St. Louis Raise Concerns

Operation Sea-Spray: San Francisco Bacteria Spray

What ensued was a series of terrifying revelations: for two decades, the United States government had intentionally doused 293 populated areas with bacteria. They’d done this with secrecy. They’d done this without informing citizens of potentially dangerous exposure. They’d done this without taking precautions to protect the public’s health and safety, and with no medical follow-up

And it had all started in 1950, with the spraying of San Francisco.

A confidential government report written in 1951 — 'Special Report No. 142: Biological Warfare Trials at San Francisco, California, 20-27 September 1950' — maps out the details of the city’s top-secret bacteria bombing. Through the tests, officials sought to accomplish three objectives: to study the 'offensive possibilities of attacking a seaport city with a biological warfare aerosol,' to highlight the vulnerability of the country’s defense against such attacks, and to gain data on how bacteria affected a population.

Nowhere in the report was the welfare of San Franciscans mentioned; the tests proceeded without knowledge or consent from the public.

How the US Government Tested Biological Warfare on America

On September 20, 1950, a US Navy ship just off the coast of San Francisco used a giant hose to spray a cloud of microbes into the air and into the city's famous fog. The military was testing how a biological weapon attack would affect the 800,000 residents of the city.
Over and Over Again, the Military Has Conducted Dangerous Biowarfare Experiments on Americans

The coast of San Francisco in California was sprayed with two types of bacteria, Bacillus globigii and Serratia marcesens. These bacteria are supposed to be safe, but Bacillus globigii is now listed as a pathogen, causes food poisoning, and can hurt anyone with a weak immune system. As for Serratia marcesens, 11 people were admitted to hospital with serious bacterial infections after the San Francisco test. One of them – Edward Nevin – died three weeks later.

New York Subway Bacteria Experiment

In the 1950s and sixties, scientists from the Fort Detrick biological weapons program ran a series of tests to determine how easy it would be to expose large numbers of people to a lethal bacteria. Containers of nontoxic bacteria were planted in the New York subway, bacteria was secretly pumped into the Pentagon ventilation system and clouds of bacteria were released in San Francisco. And germs that were meant to sicken but not kill humans were tested on conscientious objectors in the military.

This experiment was sanctioned by the US government.

Norfolk Navy Supply Center Fungal Experiment

In 1951, tests were also carried out at the Norfolk Naval Supply Center in Virginia – a massive base that equips the US Navy. Fungal spores were dispersed to see how they would infect workers unpacking crates there. Most of the workers were African-American and the scientists wanted to test a theory that they were more susceptible to fungal disease than Caucasians.

Operation Big Itch

In 1954, for example, scientists carried out Operation Big Itch. The test was designed to find out if fleas could be loaded into bombs (they could). The tests happened just a few years after the Soviets accused the US of dropping canisters full of insects infected with chorea and the plague in Korea and China during the Korean War. This is something the US military denies as a 'disinformation campaign'.

Operation Whitecoat

"Operation Whitecoat was a biodefense medical research program carried out by the United States Army at Fort Detrick, Maryland between 1954 and 1973. The program pursued medical research using volunteer enlisted personnel who were eventually nicknamed 'Whitecoats'. These volunteers, all conscientious objectors, including many members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, were informed of the purpose and goals of each project before providing consent to participate in any project."

A Consent Statement (1955) for one of the Operation Whitecoat experiments at Fort Detrick

They turned people from a Christian religious group into human subjects because they didn't want to go to war.

Nerve Gas Tests

The United States secretly tested chemical and biological weapons on American soil during the 1960s, newly declassified Pentagon reports show.

The tests included releasing deadly nerve agents in Alaska and spraying bacteria over Hawaii.

This was carried out in Maryland and Florida as well as Canada and Britain.

Project 112

There was a massive increase in testing in 1962 when then US Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara, authorized Project 112. The project expanded bio-weapons testing and pumped new funds into research.

In 2008, the US Government Accountability Office acknowledged that tens of thousands of civilians might have been exposed to biological agents thanks to Project 112 and other tests.
