THE USE OF HUMAN GUINEA PIGS IN THE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF NUCLEAR, CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL AND ETHNIC WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. The employment of chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction is not new. In the past poisoning well water and giving gifts impregnated with infectious diseases ethnic groups had little or no resistance to were just two of many methods of chemical and biological warfare. Modern research in medicine and science has opened up new possibilities for the manufacture of much more advanced and efficient weapons of mass destruction and there have been many reports of governments using their citizens, without their knowledge or permission, in human Guinea pig experiments in their never ending efforts to keep ahead in the arms race. The writer was first made aware of the possibilities of the research being done into more sophisticated weapons of mass destruction in the 1980’s when helping with medical research into the problems of transplant rejection and cancer research.. Suffering from aplastic anaemia, a condition which is manifest by destruction of the bone marrow and is caused by radiation, toxic chemicals and many prescribed drugs and is a precursor condition to cancer, it was apparent that those suffering from these conditions were not only not being given the information they needed to survive but were being used as human guinea pigs. Nuclear and chemical weapons are documented to cause aplastic anaemia. Although the writer did not have a transplant, whilst helping with research into transplant rejection a member of the team doing the medical research in 1989 admitted to him and his wife (a registered nurse) that the information on transplant rejection and genetics could also be misused for military purposes in developing ethnic weapons. The following are just some of the reports I have collected and have been sent to me on the use of human guinea pigs in military and medical experiments, which have come to light in recent years. 1982 “A Higher Form of Killing – the secret story of chemical weapons” by Jeremy Paxman and Robert Harris. P240 Notes that “it is theoretically possible to develop so-called ‘ethnic chemical’ weapons P241 Notes that as early as 1962 the US Army biological warfare laboratories had forty scientists on full time genetics research. P241 also notes that within 10 to15 years it would probably be possible to develop an infective micro-organism which could destroy the immune system. (aids?) 27.10.1986Daily Express newspaper reported a claim by an aids expert Dr. John Seale that there was a conspiracy of silence over his claims that the aids virus was artificially created. Many other reports since have noted the possibility that aids was man-made. Note. Myxomatosis was man made to kill rabbits. 5.10.1990 “The European” newspaper Romanian government allowing children between the ages of 1 and 5 who had aids to be used as human guinea pigs by Western medical researchers. 3.4.1996 “Independent” newspaper.

P136 In 1945 The US nuclear installation at Hanford secretly released 340,000 curies of radioactive iodine, the official figures for the accident at Three Mile Island was 15 curies. P137 In one planned experiment in December 1949 5,500 curies of radioactive iodine was released over eastern Washington and Oregon with no attempt to warn civilians. P219 In 1958 John Dunster who designed Windscale’s discharge programme in the UK said the intention had been to discharge fairly substantial amount of radioacivity as part of an organised and deliberate scientific experiment.Since 1952 Windscale (Sellafield) has discherged over a quarter of a ton of plutonium into the Irish Sea. 1926 Anti-malarial Drug Panaquine introduced.

Letter in “The Guardian” from 3 doctors at Hammersmith Hospital, London, warning of the side-effects of using neutron treatment for cancer.

It describes how the elderly, children and mentally infirm have been used as guinea pigs in medical experiments, without the permission of their legal guardians, according to the countries main government watchdog. Surprising really, and particularly sensitive in Israel because of the horrors inflicted on Jewish Prisoners of Auschwitz by its Nazi camp doctor, Josef Mengele. Having been used in numerous such experiments myself, in the UK, which caused my disability, I still find this still upsets me nearly 20 years on! Edward Priestley 16.7.2005. (Will the UK Government ever apologise to its citizens for experiments it carried out on them?) Comments of writer in brackets. The above is by no means all the references I have on the above subjects but it shows clearly that civilians and servicemen have been and are still being used in thousands in human guinea pig experiments to keep their governments ahead in the arms race and that there is a strong element of racism in many of the experiments. There have been numerous other reports of governments using their own citizens as human Guinea pigs since I wrote this in 200 and one is worth adding to the list. BBC RADIO 4 documentary programme 30.8.04 6pm U.K. time. This was a programme exposing that 1000’s of children and babies in orphanages (Catholic) have been used in the U.S.A. Northern Ireland and the U.K with everyone’s knowledge and consent being used in drug trials done by international drug companies. The programme interviewed nuns and others who were present at the trials. It was stated in the programme by one doctor that although these trials have now stopped children and babies from third world countries were now being used in drug trials and this was cheaper than using animals. |
