Sez who?

By nessie


I have noticed that when I say, Such and such, people say, Sez who? When I say, Sez me, people say, So what? When I say, Such and such, and people say, Sez who? and I say (instead), Sez him, people more often than not believe me. Near as I can tell, this is the height of folly.

But if that's what you want ...

Here's what some other folks say about bio-war and the nonconsensual experimentation on unknowing human guinea pigs. It's fairly representational of official dis-information in general.

Clue: Look at the dates.

(1.) New York Times 9/13/45

NO RADIOACTIVITY IN HIROSHIMA RUIN

Brig. Gen. T. F. Farrell, chief of the War Department's atomic bomb mission ... denied categorically that it produced a dangerous, lingering radioactivity ...

(2.) New York Times, 11/17/45

88 GERMAN SCIENTISTS REACH HERE, REPUTEDLY WITH TOP WAR SECRETS

Carefully guarded by military intelligence officers, a secret party of eighty eight Germans, said to be in possession of the Nazi's best secrets, arrived here yesterday on the American transport Argentina. ... Army officers in civilian clothes ... whisked them away in a convoy of motor buses ...

(3.) New York Times, 1/5/46

DEATH LADEN MISTS DEVELOPED BY NAVY

Secret Study in Mass Killing With Germs of Unidentified Lethal Disease Revealed ... The Navy tonight said that thirty-three months of 'hazardous and painstaking study' by a small band of naval officers and enlisted men had established ... Laboratory and field data have been gathered ...

(4.) New York Times, 5/24/46

U.S HAS WEAPON FAR MORE DEADLY THAN ATOMIC BOMB, HOUSE TOLD

... A "combination of interests" developed the weapon ...

(5.) New York Times, 5/28/46

'BIOLOGICAL' AND 'FISSION-PRODUCT' WARFARE ADDED TO ATOM BOMB AS SECRET WEAPONS

There are "at least two major secret weapons in existence which scientists believe are potentially as dangerous to mankind as the atomic bomb itself," W. A. Higinbotham, chairman of the Federation of Atomic Scientists, declared today.

In a speech before an organization meeting of the National Committee on Atomic Information, he said that Congress should ask the War Department to release more information on biological (germ) warfare and on "fission-product warfare" sometimes termed "atomic poison gas."

The Army and Navy have revealed that they conducted extensive experiments in this field ...

There is a passive defense for the atomic bomb. Cities and industries might be dispersed ... But bacteriological warfare could be used to cut off the food supplies, radioactive materials could be used to trap people in bomb shelters and caves.

(6.) New York Times, 2/8/82

EX-MEDIC SAYS ARMY KEPT FALSE RECORDS ON RADIATION

A former Army medic, breaking 25 years of silence, said today that he was ordered to enter false data ...

... he was warned that if he told anyone of his experiences, "I could be charged with treason" ...

Mr. Brandon ... said he was denied veterans benefits because the top secret medical unit he says he served with "never existed."

"We were instructed to keep two sets of books..."

(7.) Los Angeles Times, 4/28/82

In the fall of 1958, intense levels of radioactive particles hovered over Los Angeles, threatening the health of the unborn and small children for several months. That secret, however, remained well-kept until the spring of 1982.

... The winds blew continuously from the Nevada (nuclear) test site toward Los Angeles. Despite the ... weather conditions, the tests continued ...

(8.) The Oregonian, 3/13/86

HANFORD RELEASED HIGH IODINE LEVELS IN '46

(9.) The Oregonian, 3/14/86

1949 HANFORD RELEASE CALLED INTENTIONAL

"The purpose of the 1949 experiment was related to the development of a monitoring methodology for intelligence efforts regarding the emerging Soviet nuclear program," the five congressmen said in a one-sentence statement after the hour long briefing ...

(10.) The Oregonian, 3/14/86

45 RELEASE AT HANFORD SET RECORD

Human health consequences cannot be determined without first learning whether there were ways for significant amounts ... to reach humans through air or foodstuffs ...

Now for my own two cents worth:

"... field data have been gathered ..." is a euphemism for cold blooded mass murder. This is not the first time it was used, nor is it the last.

Forty years after the fact, we have recently been informed that the United States government conducted a series of tests on unwitting human guinea pigs, (euphemism for victims) which included the intentional introduction of plutonium into their bodies. The very news media which informed us of this heinous criminal atrocity, conveniently neglected to point out its own complicity by way of gross misfeasance. Their job was to find out about it and tell us 40 years ago. This is what we paid them to do. They didn't do it. We were cheated out of our money. Had we been paying sufficient attention to what they did report, we would have not been surprised when the truth finally became glaringly apparent.

An honest investigation of these crimes (in the highly unlikely event that one were to occur) would uncover both policy architects and hands-on practitioners with war crimes in their backgrounds. There is a reason that this scandal has the stench of Buchenwald and Camp 751 about it. The wholesale import of fascist scientists at the close of WWII out did even the wholesale import of fascist intelligence agents. They were as influential in their respective fields as the intelligence agents were in theirs. In short, they shaped history. Our world today is, in a large part, the creation of these fascist war criminals.

Gehlen created the Cold War when we could have had detante in 1945. Borman, Barbie and Mengele created the modern cocaine industry with more than ample help from their kommeraden within our own intelligence community, who enabled them to freely cross our border. Von Braun created a cozy refuge from the English hangman's noose for his friend Dornberger, the Butcher of Dora. Dornberger was not alone. Von Bolschwing created an intelligence-gathering and covert-action apparatus par excellence for the Fourth Reich to use in America. His work was in no way impeded by his personal friendship with Richard Nixon or his business partnership with Contragate figures Richard Secord and (Iranian Jew) Albert Hakim.

The Japanese Mengele Shiro Ishii and his crew (presumably with help from friends like the German Mengele) created the culture of America's postwar bio-war research institutions. Bio-war researchers hang out together. They brag in public about their parties. For example, there is sufficient evidence, including court transcripts, that the staff at the U. S. bio-war center at Fort Deitrich took LSD together on a number of occasions. What do you suppose they talked about? Pretty colors? Well, maybe at first.

Though fascist refugees made many converts in America, they also found many kindred spirits here that they did not need to convert. They were after all, invited guests. Fascism is as American as baseball.

Among the customs these fascist scientists brought from with them from the old country was the secret dosing of institutionalized retarded and disabled people with poison, just to see what would happen as a result. The most important thing that happened as a result here was that the study was concealed from us for forty years by our own government. That is the real scandal, second in weight only to our steadfast and scandalous refusal to learn from the past. The very first victims of the Holocaust were exactly the same kinds of people targeted in this later American study. Their story can be found in:

By Trust Betrayed: Patients, Physicians, and the License to kill in the Third Reich by Hugh Gregory Gallagher, Henry Holt and Company, New York, 1990, ISBN 0-8050-0749-0.

They died ten years before the Jews. Their status as a class was codified by the infamous Nuremberg Laws of 1933, which were themselves based on the world's first eugenics legislation, the 1907 Indiana Plan. One thing does indeed lead to another. Such things as Holocausts do not emerge from a historical vacuum. Nothing emerges from a historical vacuum. The Holocaust had American roots. This is not the least bit surprising, given America's history. Holocaust is the foundation on which America is built. America is not about freedom and opportunity. America is about dead Native Americans

The experiments in question were not carried out by nuclear physicists. They were carried out by physicians. Fascist physicians (and their research data) were welcomed with open arms too, and not just by the Atomic Energy Commission. The Air Force, in particular, was especially friendly to experts in high-altitude medicine. How does one go about becoming an expert in high-altitude medicine? Well, first you place a Jew in a vacuum chamber. Then you stand outside with a stop watch and a clipboard, observing. Later, you emigrate. Expect a hearty welcome on America's sheltering shore.

Science, as an institution, does not exist in a vacuum, be it moral, economic or whatever. Neither do any of our other institutions. What has to be confronted here is society as a whole. This scandal is but a recurring symptom of a systemic ailment. It can be effectively treated only systemicly. I recommend regular, strong doses of fact. An affliction of lies can not survive such medication. Uncover the root source of the symptom and real treatment becomes possible. Diagnosis is half the cure.

We as a people can not allow our society's deep seated and pervasive sickness to go untreated without succumbing to moral bankruptcy. We have a moral duty to heal the body politic which is as strong as our pragmatic imperative to avoid, as individuals, the suffering that its sickness brings. It is not enough to personally escape the symptoms for the present. It is not all that easy either. How do you honestly know that you yourself are not now at this very moment a glorified lab rat in some sinister but secret experiment that, if you are very lucky, your grandchildren my hear confessed on the news 40 years from now, long after your own hideous suffering has been mercifully ended by an untimely death?

Were you fed some ghastly poison in your school lunch, or your workplace cafeteria? Does it sit somewhere inside you now waiting to erupt into your unsuspecting life at some unknown future date? You don't know, do you? You can't know until the source of the lies that conceal it has been cut away so we can see our sickness for what it is and treat it accordingly.

Fascists are a cancer in the body politic. They must excised with the utmost in thorough precision. They were not excised by Allied bayonets. The treatment failed. They metastasized and, scattered, thrive. And now we see they threaten our very lives themselves. It would be foolhardy to ignore the tell tale symptoms until it is to late. When those around sicken and die we must find out why and stop it simply to survive. But even if our own survival were not an issue, still we must act. Justice demands we not let the deaths of all these innocents go unpunished. We know what must be done.

We are not, despite all appearances, a morally bankrupt people. All but a tiny psychopathic minority wish, deep in our hearts, to do the right thing. We try very hard, but on the whole we fail, because we simply don't know what the right thing is. We don't know, because we have been systematically lied to all our lives. We have put our trust in morally bankrupt institutions. This is folly. It could well prove to be fatal folly. We have trusted long enough. We have gained nothing from trust but lies, ignorance, torture and murder.

We have lost a great deal more than our innocence. We have lost lives. We can expect to lose more even if we act now. But it is still not too late to act. The time has come to stop trusting. The time has come to start asking questions. Do we wish to have our institutions serve us, or we to serve them? Like it or not, the choice really is ours, whether we choose to exercise it or not. To choose not to choose is to choose to serve. Now we know how they treat their loyal servant's trust. It's decades late in coming, but we finally got the news.

San Jose Mercury News 12/20/81

PANEL WANTS TO KNOW HOW MANY HUMAN "GUINEA PIGS" THERE ARE

A presidential commission has decided to recommend that steps be taken to find out how many Americans serve (sic) as subjects of medical and behavioral research and what adverse effects result from such studies... .

... The commission will recommend that scientists who use humans as subjects of federally financed research be required to report the number of such people involved and the number of injuries or other adverse effects that occur in the studies...

... No such federal rules now exist. As a result, the commission has found, some research workers have continued to receive federal funds from one agency after being severely reprimanded by another ...

Dixie Ray Lee, former head of the Atomic Energy Commission, and one time governor of Washington state (home of Hanford) died not long after the radiation test scandal first broke. What a convenient coincidence. What a great scapegoat for these excesses of the past. Though the bulk of the tests in question predated her tenures at the AEC, the cover-up took place, at least in part, on her watch. She was definitely an accomplice. Shall we blame her for this mess, and get on with life, pretending that those in power now are different? We have a long history of doing things exactly like that. This is what it got us.

What about Seborg? The way I figure, he's guilty as Eichmann. Does the buck stops on his desk? It has to stop somewhere. What about the individual physicians who administered the fatal poison? They murdered with premeditation. They conspired in the RICO sense. Will they hang? I don't think so. Perhaps some will succumb to the street justice of vengeance-bent loved ones, fed up with waiting for law enforcement to do its duty. One can always hope.

For that matter, what about Gallo and Fauci? Either they're lying, or Koch's Postulates are wrong. Consider all that that implies. Whose lie are they telling? Is it merely their own, told to line their pockets with test kit royalties? In part, perhaps, but what about their superiors? Are we to trust men like that to dictate the parameters of our real life risk assessment? They both work for the same institution that perpetrated the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, and to this day injects the children of poor people with I shudder to think what, and calls it free vaccination. The buck hasn't stopped yet.

Why are you not better informed? It's not your fault. How were you to know there was a need? You've been lied to all your life about what you really need.

Read up. Start today. Lives depend on it, maybe yours. The future belongs to those who live long enough. The informed have a much better chance at survival than the ignorant.

Ignorance = death.

Become informed. It can be done, but only if you try. The truth is out there. Find it for yourself. Read. I recommend you begin with:

Blowback: America's Recruitment of Nazis and Its Effect on the Cold War, by Christopher Simpson, Collier Books, Macmillan Publishing Company, New York, 1988, ISBN 1-55502-216-2

A Higher Form of Killing: The Secret Story of Gas and Germ Warfare, by Robert Harris and Jeremy Paxman, Hill and Wang, New York, 1982, ISBN o-8090-1507-2

Mass Murderers in White Coats, by Lennie Lapon, Psychiatric Genocide Research Institute, P.O. Box 80071, Springfield, MA 01138-0071, 1986

Peace or Pestilence: Biological Warfare and How to Avoid it, by Theodor Rosebury, Whittlesey House, McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc. New York, 1949

Then ask yourself these questions:

If that's what they were they doing to us 40 years ago, and just now admit today, what are they doing to us today that they'll admit in another 40 years?

For whom will that be 40 years to late?

And of course, the key question, do we really have to wait?
