Titolo: 1953 U.S. military releases clouds of zinc cadmium sulfide gas

:
 
A Partial History of Secret U.S. Government Programs
 
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.
 
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.
 
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populations with biological agents, releases a bacteria withdrawn from the 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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.

Open Air Testing with Simulated Biological and Chemical Warfare Agents by 
Leonard A. Cole, Ph.D.
 
May 6, 1994:
 
"As described in Leonard Cole's book, Clouds of Secrecy, the army began a 
program in 1949 to assess the nation's vulnerability to attack with 
biological weapons. During the next 20 years, the army released simulant 
agents over hundreds of populated areas around the country. Targets included 
portions of Hawaii and Alaska, San Francisco, St. Louis, Minneapolis, New 
York City, Washington, D.C., Key West, and many other cities. The purpose 
was to see how the bacteria spread and survived as people went about their 
normal activities.
 
"In fact, during 45 years of open air testing, from time to time the army 
has stopped using certain simulants for reasons of safety. In each instance 
the army belatedly recognized they could be causing disease and death, 
although such information had long been available in the medical literature. 
This was the case in the 1950s when it ceased using the fungus Aspergillus 
fumigatus as a simulant. The fungus had long been known to cause 
aspergillosis, a disease that can be fatal. Similarly, in the 1960s the army 
stopped using zinc cadmium sulfide, a chemical that had been known for years 
to cause cancer.
 
"In the 1970s, the bacterium Serratia marcescens, a source of infections 
that can lead to death, was taken out of service as a simulant. And in the 
1980s, dimethyl methylphosphonate, a chemical known as DPP, was removed from 
use as a simulant because of its carcinogenic and other toxic potential. I 
understand that one of today's witnesses, Earl Davenport, was exposed to 
DMMP at Dugway in 1984 and may still be suffering health problems as a 
result.
 
"Indeed, simulants now used at Dugway continue to pose risks. The chemical 
ethylene oxide, which is present in some of the mixtures used in outdoor 
spraying, is a known carcinogen. The bacterium Bacillus subtilis, while not 
generally seen as dangerous, is cited in medical textbooks as able to cause 
serious infections. In truth any microorganism that seems harmless under 
some circumstances may cause illness under others.
 
"Exposure to high concentrations of any microorganism can be critically 
dangerous to people in weakened conditions. The elderly, the very young, 
people with AIDS and others who have weakened immune systems are more 
susceptible to life threatening infections. Nevertheless, the army has not 
monitored the health of citizens who may have been exposed during its tests 
while maintaining that its bacterial agents cause no harm."

Subj: CHEMTRAILS FACs
Date: 3/9/1999
From:

 (William Thomas)
 
CHEMTRAILS OR CONTRAILS?
 
FACs: FREQUENTLY AIRED CRITICISMS
 
FAC 1: You paranoid chemtrail conspiratorialists are seeing normal sky spoor 
from a marked increase in commercial air traffic. Combined with changing 
atmospheric conditions, these wetter and denser air masses are leading to 
lingering contrails and the artificial formation of cirrus-type clouds from 
ice-crystal condensation left by "rush hour" jet traffic.
 
Ans: There is no question that air traffic is up sharply throughout the 
world. (See "Jets" under "Investigations" 
www.islandnet.com/~wilco
). Also 
that atmospheric change (including increased moisture) is contributing to 
increased natural and artificial cloud formation.
 
But not all sightings are of normal contrails. Experienced pilots, military 
personnel and other qualified observers note that: 1. Normal contrails 
dissipate less than one minute after formation. Many long-lingering 
"chemtrails" being reported across North America are being made at altitudes 
between 10,000 and 15,000 feet - well below the stratosphere where 
ice-crystal cloud condensation forms. Indeed, commercial aircraft entering 
spray zones often emit no contrails alongside "chemtrail" spraying aircraft. 
At higher altitudes and around airports, commercial jets have also been seen 
to leave pencil-thin contrails that quickly dissipate alongside fatter, 
billowing "chemtrails" that linger and spread out at the same altitude for 
hours.
 
2. Commercial aircraft do not cross each other's flight paths in Xs and 
grid-patterns at the same altitude. Concerned with making efficient point A 
to point B passages, airliners also do not fly back-and-forth in formation 
across the same patch of clear sky, laying long-lasting chemtrails for hours 
at a time.
 
3. Commercial aircraft prominently display their airline logo, "colors" and 
registration numbers. While configured after commercial aircraft, observed 
KC-135 and KC-10 spray aircraft are usually painted white and carry no 
identification markings.
 
4. Normal contrails come from the engines and wingtips of high-flying 
aircraft. They do not stream from the tails of airplanes equipped with 
wing-mounted engines. Chemtrails, on the other hand, have been observed 
through high-power telescopes and binoculars to be streaming from tanker 
tailbooms pointing downward at a 60-degree angle - the normal configuration 
for deployed refueling tailbooms. Chemtrails have also been observed 
streaming in thick white streams inboard of the wingtips but outboard of 
wing-mounted jet engines, where aerial tanker refueling probes are also 
deployed.
 
4. Contrails do not make people sick. Hundreds of eye-witnesses have become 
ill within hours of watching chemtrails woven over their heads. Many have 
tasted and smelled something metallic or corrosive in the air. Check the 
dates and locations of peak hospital admissions alongside sightings of heavy 
"spray days". They match.
 
5. Contrails do no rain cobweb-like material and jello-like "goo" over 
porches, powerlines and police cruisers. Most likely caused by misadjusted 
or malfunctioning spray nozzles, this material has been tentatively 
identified by a microbiologist as a "bio-matrix" for hosting and dispersing 
pathogens. Uncontaminated, fully-documented samples of this aerial fallout 
are being analyzed now. Previous (though inconclusive) samples tested in 
Washington state, Ohio and Wyoming have revealed the presence of highly 
toxic ethylene dibromide (a component of JP8 jet fuel) and Psuedomonas 
Flourescens (a genetically modified bacteria that is extremely antibiotic 
resistant). Among other severe symptoms, both of these agents cause severe 
upper respiratory distress.
 
FAC 2: You are unfairly casting aspersions on the US military, accusing them 
of poisoning their own people.
 
Ans: The US military has conducted "Open air" biowarfare testing involving 
dangerous pathogens and carcinogens and resulting in illness and fatalities 
over hundreds of American cities without the informed consent of residents 
since 1949. However, because these spray aircraft are unmarked it is not 
possible to assert at this time that the US government and/or US military 
are responsible. These agencies are accountable, however, for allowing these 
overflights to continue.
 
FAC 3: You have absolutely no proof that these "contrails" are causing 
illness on the ground. Have you forgotten that it is the height of a 
particularly severe flu and asthma season?
 
Ans: Even at the height of the flu season, hospitals and doctors' offices 
across the USA, as well as in Canada and England are typically operating at 
twice their usual winter influx of respiratory patients, with Emergency 
Rooms jammed and some hospitals closed to new admissions. While outbreaks of 
the Sydney (A) strain and Beijing (B) strain of influenza have been 
identified in major North American cities (along with Respiratory Syntytial 
Virus causing only mild cold symptoms in adults) - the acute and recurring 
bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma, sinusitis and unidentified viruses reported 
by worried doctors and nurses do not fit this "flu" designation.
 
Why an epidemic of pneumonia, bronchitis and unknown respiratory viruses is 
afflicting many thousands of adults and children coast-to-coast is unknown 
at this time. But it is suggestive that almost all outdoor observers of 
spraying have become sick with extreme respiratory symptoms within 24 hours 
of witnessing "contrails" unusual enough to excite comment and cause cameras 
and camcorders to be aimed skyward. Usually associated with damp, wet 
climates, outbreaks of bronchitis across the American southwest are 
unprecedented.
 
It is also suggestive that when two American veterans went to Veterans 
Administration hospitals for their annual flu shots several months ago, they 
were advised to get the pneumonia vaccine as well, because "pneumonia is 
going to be very big this year."
 
It is also suggestive that a nationwide 1-800-I-GOT-FLU tracking program is 
open only to participants who "qualify" by exhibiting specific symptoms 
after being exposed within 32-miles of known outbreaks within a specified 
time period.
 
It is also disturbing that on each of the three occasions that Washington 
state resident William Wallace has complained to the media of spraying over 
his remote mountain cabin, he and his wife Ann were attacked by jet and 
propeller aircraft diving in at treetop height to release spray within their 
property line. William and Ann Wallace remain sick, with William exhibiting 
several "marker" symptoms for infectious Mycoplasm Fermentans - the infamous 
Gulf War Illness.
 
After investigating GWI and exposing the origins of Gulf War Illness in my 
book, BRINGING THE WAR HOME. it is the unconfirmed opinion of this writer 
that the outbreaks of Lupus and Fibromyalgia following some spraying 
incidents could actually be the look-alike symptoms of Mycoplasm Fermentans. 
The pneumonia outbreaks being reported across the USA may also be caused by 
Mycoplasm Pneumonia. Sputum and blood tests should be carried out to test 
this hypothesis.
 
Regarding the recent "flesh-eating" staph outbreaks in Delaware and 
Illinois, I also note that this Staph A belongs to the same family (genus) 
as Pseudomonas, strep and anthrax.
 
Until the lab results are in, lack of "proof" should not obscure an 
overwhelming preponderance of pattern and precident. If a thousand people 
crowded around a field are sprayed with an unknown substance by unidentified 
aircraft...and if many of those people fall sick enough to be rushed to 
hospital...what would you conclude?
