The article discusses a lawsuit filed by attorney Gordon Erspamer on behalf of six former US soldiers who claim they were subjects in secret chemical and biological experiments conducted at the Army's Edgewood Arsenal in Maryland between 1950 and 1975. While the government conducted human experiments testing nerve agents, antidotes, and irritants, many details of the tests and the soldiers involved were destroyed. The plaintiffs allege they continue to suffer health effects from the experiments but are seeking access to healthcare rather than monetary damages due to legal protections for the military. One plaintiff, Frank Rochelle, describes experiencing hallucinations and memory loss after tests exposing him to sedatives in gas chambers without proper consent or knowledge of risks.
During the 1910 trial of Dr. Hawley Crippen for the murder of his wife Cora, forensic pathology evidence supported the prosecution's argument. A scar and traces of poison matched Cora and were linked to Crippen. Over a century later, DNA testing of remains and histological evidence revealed the remains did not belong to Cora, indicating Crippen may have been innocent after all. Advanced forensic techniques were able to uncover truth that came too late to save Crippen from execution.
Killing Our Own: The Disaster of America’s Experience with Atomic RadiationElisaMendelsohn
This book provides a summary of America's experience with atomic radiation and the resulting disasters. It details the health impacts of nuclear weapon testing on atomic veterans and civilians downwind, the effects of radiation exposure in nuclear workplaces and medical settings, problems with nuclear waste and accidents like Three Mile Island and Church Rock, and the ongoing risks of the nuclear industry. The introduction emphasizes that the book seeks to inform citizens about the health risks of nuclear technology and radiation exposures that have already harmed many Americans.
The letter questions CAC's credibility for supporting Dr. Beter's claims about Russians replacing US leaders with organic robotoids. The writer finds Beter's and related organizations' views too extreme and lacking credibility. The letter asks CAC to provide further explanation on the robotoid claims to address concerns about its judgment and alignment with "right-wing political insanity."
The document summarizes key events and developments from Michael Jackson's 2005 trial on charges of child molestation. It discusses the selection of the jury, delays in the process, and some of the central issues being debated including the credibility of the accuser and his family versus claims of a conspiracy against Jackson. It also provides an overview of some of the witness testimony and forensic evidence presented by both the prosecution and defense, with neither side presenting completely conclusive proof.
This document discusses the start of recruitment for the National Children's Study, which will track the health and development of over 100,000 children from before birth to age 21. The study aims to understand how genes and environment impact children's health. Recruitment will begin in two locations - Duplin County, NC and Queens, NY. Over the next 18 months, each of the initial 7 study centers will recruit approximately 375 volunteers to participate. The study will provide insights into birth disorders and conditions across childhood. It is intended to yield information that could help develop prevention strategies and treatments.
The document alleges that serial killer Boyden Gray has infiltrated and used the American Federation of Teachers to advance eugenic goals and disguised killings. It claims Gray orchestrated the killings of JFK and MLK and is now using the AFT and its president Adam Urbanski to organize disguised killings of children. It provides links to AFT websites about AIDS in Africa as evidence of exploiting deadly pathogens. It warns that former AFT president Saundra Feldman was killed through a disguised induced breast cancer as part of this criminal effort to advance eugenic aims.
The document discusses allegations against Regional Killer Boyden Gray regarding criminal conspiracies to murder through dissemination of infectious diseases and vaccines. It claims Gray is using medical facilities and their air quality control systems to carry out disguised murder attempts, including infecting the author's father with MRSA bacteria via vaccine. Concerns are raised about the isolated room's air quality potentially being used to kill the father under Gray's influence on hospital administration and energy policy.

The document discusses the legacy of Agent Orange use during the Vietnam War and the ongoing health issues faced by veterans. It describes a cancelled $43 million CDC study on Agent Orange exposure and allegations of a government cover-up to avoid paying disability claims. The origins of Agent Orange are outlined, from its development by a University of Chicago professor to its use by the U.S. military as a defoliant during the Vietnam War, with little understanding of its toxicity and dioxin contamination. Workers at chemical plants that produced Agent Orange experienced health issues, though the government and chemical companies denied adverse health effects for years.
This document summarizes a book titled "Killing Our Own" about the health impacts of atomic radiation exposure in the United States. It describes how US soldiers were exposed to radiation after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki without warnings. It also discusses how over 300,000 US troops were exposed to radiation from US nuclear bomb tests and suffered increased rates of rare cancers and birth defects in their children. Civilians downwind of tests also experienced increased disease and death that the government denied. The book examines health issues for those living near nuclear facilities, mining and waste sites, and power reactors and questions the government's response minimizing health risks.
1) Veterans groups filed a lawsuit alleging that a federally mandated study on Agent Orange was canceled due to White House pressure, costing $43 million.
2) Workers at chemical plants that produced Agent Orange in the 1960s reported health issues like skin diseases and liver damage from exposure.
3) Memos from the 1960s/70s show that Agent Orange spraying in Vietnam provided little military benefit and had negative environmental and psychological impacts by destroying civilian crops, but the defoliation program continued.
AZT: How an abandoned drug found new life as an important AIDS/HIV treatmentFirhan Malik
In the 1960's, a drug that inhibited the replication of viruses was discovered. Researchers hoped this could be a therapy for cancer caused by retroviruses. Unfortunately, the drug failed in animal models, and was abandoned. In the early 1980's, the HIV virus was found to be the cause of AIDS, a devastating and fatal disease. This document by Mark Yarchoan explains how the abandoned drug AZT found new life as an important treatment for patients with AIDS. AZT changed the very nature of the diagnosis and health of these patients.

In many situations, finding information about the method(s) used to collect data can help you evaluate its credibility. For instance, trade associations may be an excellent source of data, since many trade associations collect information about their indus- tries. However, this data may be either highly reliable—when it comes from those associations that are careful and objective in their research—or highly unreliable— when, for example, an association uses data for political or marketing purposes. When assessing the quality of data, look for:
GOOD SIGNS Data was collected by an independent research firm Large sample size Large percentage of those polled responded Objective, neutral questions were asked
BAD SIGNS Study was funded by a private company or association with a political agenda Small sample size Small percentage responding Questions were skewed to elicit particular responses Data with an Agenda Be particularly cautious when evaluating data from certain types of sources. This can include: Statistics from individual companies, which may have manipulated data to increase sales Data from politically or economically motivated organizations, which may have had a special agenda and used research techniques that support the message they want to send Data from studies with very small samples, which may not represent reality

This document summarizes concerns about the FDA's approval of food irradiation without adequate safety testing. It finds that since 1983, the FDA has ignored regulations and its own testing protocols to legalize irradiation of various foods based on studies that its own scientists had deemed "deficient." None of the key studies used to approve irradiation in 1986 met modern standards. The FDA has also dismissed evidence suggesting irradiation can cause toxicity and genetic damage. Officials from the FDA and other agencies have misled Congress about potential hazards and failed demonstrations that irradiated food is safe. In short, the FDA approved high-dose radiation of several foods without evidence the underlying studies met scientific standards.

This document provides a summary of several unethical human and animal experimentation projects throughout history. It describes experiments conducted by the Nazis, Japanese Unit 731, Soviets, Americans and others. Many involved deliberately infecting or injuring prisoners and concentration camp inmates without consent. The goal of many was to study disease progression, test weapons/toxins, or advance racial ideology. Notable projects included Nazi twin and hypothermia experiments, Japanese plague dispersal tests, US syphilis studies and more. Overall, the document outlines some of the worst violations of medical ethics in history.
The document summarizes the unethical Tuskegee Syphilis Study conducted from 1932 to 1972 by the U.S. Public Health Service to study the natural progression of untreated syphilis in African American men in Alabama. Over 400 men with syphilis were never informed and were denied treatment even after penicillin was found to be an effective treatment. The study was exposed in 1972 and led to major reforms in human subject research ethics and regulations to protect participants, including the 1979 Belmont Report.
Forensic dentistry has a long history dating back to at least 49 AD when a woman identified a decapitated head by inspecting its teeth. Several notable cases throughout history demonstrated the use of dental evidence, including identifying battlefield remains and solving murders. In the late 19th century, dental identification became more accepted in courts, and the first textbook on the subject was published in 1897. The field continued to advance through the 20th century with the development of bite mark analysis, dental record databases, and computer software for identification.

Your DNA, Decoded
MARK ANDERSON
Ten years ago, it cost billions of dollars to map a single human genome. Today, it's about $20,000 and likely to get even cheaper. If the average consumer can afford to have her own genetic map drawn up, what will it mean for medicine and how we approach our health care?
I
n early 2008, Henry Louis Gates Jr. stepped off his flight at LaGuardia Airport and began the process of having an elaborate set of blueprints drawn up: the map of himself, his entire human genome.
The Harvard professor of African American studies had at the time just hosted PBS' successful miniseries,
African American Lives 1 & 2.
The miniseries, which Gates jokingly calls “Roots in a Test Tube,” traced the genealogical and genetic heritage of prominent figures and celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Morgan Freeman, Tina Turner and Chris Rock.
Also on Gates' flight were officials from the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based genetics company Knome, who told Gates they were interested in working with him on other projects involving DNA testing. Already prompted by the mini-series' fans to do a show about all Americans, Gates told the Knome representatives that this time he wanted to make a PBS series based on testing the full DNA (or “genome”) of some of his guests.
Every living thing on Earth is built from instruction manuals—an organism's genes—found inside its cells. The complete set of instruction manuals is called a genome. For humans, the complete set is 6 billion characters long. We all inherit half of our body's instruction manual (3 billion characters) from our mother and half from our father. When these strands bond together, the connections create units of information called “base-pairs.” Base-pairs can take on one of four values, signified by the names of the molecules from which they're made: A, C, G or T.
Sequencing a person's genome means discovering the value of all 3 billion DNA base-pairs—every A, C, G and T—in your body's instruction manual. It's the full host of biological blueprints that encodes uniquely who you are.
In 2003, only one human genome had been sequenced in the world, and it cost 50 cents per character. Today, just seven years later, the price has dropped to an astonishing 1/300,000 of a dollar per character. Within two to four years, because of rapidly advancing technology and economies of scale, the price is expected to fall by another factor of 10 or more—bringing the total cost of a full genome down to about $2,000.
The era of affordable genomes hasn't yet arrived, but it isn't far off—and mapping personal genomes at the price point of a laptop computer will change the face of medicine and, in a sense, the world.

The document discusses what was known about radiation effects from nuclear weapons before and after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It describes General Groves' efforts to downplay reports of radiation sickness in Japan, and uncertainty over how much U.S. scientists and leaders understood about lingering radiation effects when authorizing the bombings. Understanding American knowledge of these effects is important for assessing the morality of the bombings and nuclear policy decisions during the early Cold War period.

This article discusses the decreasing cost of genome sequencing and its implications. It provides examples of individuals who have had their genomes sequenced, such as Henry Louis Gates Jr. and his father. The article explores what can be learned from genomic sequencing, such as susceptibility to diseases, and challenges of interpreting results. It also discusses issues around regulation and counseling for genomic testing.
The representation of Michael Jackson report jasaloma
The document discusses an investigation into Michael Jackson's representation in the media before and after his death, and the legal and ethical constraints. It describes conducting secondary research analyzing 12 media sources and primary research including a focus group, content analysis, and questionnaire. It finds Jackson's representation varied, with more balanced coverage of his death but biased coverage of allegations. It analyzes how court documents and evidence were published, sometimes inappropriately, and how Conrad Murray used media to shift blame onto Jackson. The focus group found some media sources inappropriately invaded Jackson's privacy and breached ethics.
The document summarizes four cases from "The Plutonium Files" where individuals violated Protocol 10 of the Nuremberg Code in human radiation experiments. It analyzes how each case failed to meet the standards of "probable cause", "good faith", "superior skill", and "careful judgement" by knowingly exposing subjects to unsafe radiation doses and conducting experiments without medical justification or consent. The individuals in these cases warranted prosecution as war criminals for intentionally endangering human lives through non-therapeutic experimentation.
1) Television shows like CSI portray forensic science as glamorous and capable of solving every case quickly using advanced technology, but reality is very different.
2) Real forensic laboratories have large backlogs and limited resources compared to what is shown on television.
3) The popularity of these shows may have led jurors to have unrealistic expectations of the level of evidence in criminal cases, though studies on this "CSI effect" are inconclusive.
The Evolution of the Clinical Trials Process – A Brief History LessonPradeep H
The clinical trials process has evolved over centuries as researchers have sought to more rigorously test medical interventions. Some key events include:
1) Early examples from the Bible and 10th century physician Ibn Sina established basic principles like testing on animals first, but trials lacked control groups.
2) In the 18th century, James Lind introduced the use of control groups by comparing scurvy treatments.
3) Randomization was gradually introduced starting in the early 20th century to reduce bias.
4) Post-WWII atrocities led to regulations like the Nuremberg Code to protect human subjects.
5) Government agencies like the FDA were formed to oversee drug development and approval

The miniseries, which Gates jokingly calls “Roots in a Test Tube,” traced the genealogical and genetic heritage of prominent figures and celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Morgan Freeman, Tina Turner and Chris Rock.
Also on Gates' flight were officials from the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based genetics company Knome, who told Gates they were interested in working with him on other projects involving DNA testing. Already prompted by the mini-series' fans to do a show about all Americans, Gates told the Knome representatives that this time he wanted to make a PBS series based on testing the full DNA (or “genome”) of some of his guests.
Every living thing on Earth is built from instruction manuals—an organism's genes—found inside its cells. The complete set of instruction manuals is called a genome. For humans, the complete set is 6 billion characters long. We all inherit half of our body's instruction manual (3 billion characters) from our mother and half from our father. When these strands bond together, the connections create units of information called “base-pairs.” Base-pairs can take on one of four values, signified by the names of the molecules from which they're made: A, C, G or T.
Sequencing a person's genome means discovering the value of all 3 billion DNA base-pairs—every A, C, G and T—in your body's instruction manual. It's the full host of biological blueprints that encodes uniquely who you are.
In 2003, only one human genome had been sequenced in the world, and it cost 50 cents per character. Today, just seven years later, the price has dropped to an astonishing 1/300,000 of a dollar per character. Within two to four years, because of rapidly advancing technology and economies of scale, the price is expected to fall by another factor of 10 or more—bringing the total cost of a full genome down to about $2,000.
The era of affordable genomes hasn't yet arrived, but it isn't far off—and mapping personal genomes at the price point of a laptop computer will change the face of medicine and, in a sense, the world.

Thread 1 Modernism, Neoliberalism, and Infrastructureフォームの始まり.docxherthalearmont
The document discusses what was known about radiation effects from nuclear weapons before and after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It describes General Groves' efforts to downplay reports of radiation sickness in Japan, and uncertainty over how much U.S. scientists and leaders understood about lingering radiation effects when authorizing the bombings. Understanding American knowledge of these effects is important for assessing the morality of the bombings and nuclear policy decisions during the early Cold War period.

This article discusses the decreasing cost of genome sequencing and its implications. It provides examples of individuals who have had their genomes sequenced, such as Henry Louis Gates Jr. and his father. The article explores what can be learned from genomic sequencing, such as susceptibility to diseases, and challenges of interpreting results. It also discusses issues around regulation and counseling for genomic testing.
The representation of Michael Jackson report jasaloma
The document discusses an investigation into Michael Jackson's representation in the media before and after his death, and the legal and ethical constraints. It describes conducting secondary research analyzing 12 media sources and primary research including a focus group, content analysis, and questionnaire. It finds Jackson's representation varied, with more balanced coverage of his death but biased coverage of allegations. It analyzes how court documents and evidence were published, sometimes inappropriately, and how Conrad Murray used media to shift blame onto Jackson. The focus group found some media sources inappropriately invaded Jackson's privacy and breached ethics.
The document summarizes four cases from "The Plutonium Files" where individuals violated Protocol 10 of the Nuremberg Code in human radiation experiments. It analyzes how each case failed to meet the standards of "probable cause", "good faith", "superior skill", and "careful judgement" by knowingly exposing subjects to unsafe radiation doses and conducting experiments without medical justification or consent. The individuals in these cases warranted prosecution as war criminals for intentionally endangering human lives through non-therapeutic experimentation.
1) Television shows like CSI portray forensic science as glamorous and capable of solving every case quickly using advanced technology, but reality is very different.
2) Real forensic laboratories have large backlogs and limited resources compared to what is shown on television.
3) The popularity of these shows may have led jurors to have unrealistic expectations of the level of evidence in criminal cases, though studies on this "CSI effect" are inconclusive.
The Evolution of the Clinical Trials Process – A Brief History LessonPradeep H
The clinical trials process has evolved over centuries as researchers have sought to more rigorously test medical interventions. Some key events include:
1) Early examples from the Bible and 10th century physician Ibn Sina established basic principles like testing on animals first, but trials lacked control groups.
2) In the 18th century, James Lind introduced the use of control groups by comparing scurvy treatments.
3) Randomization was gradually introduced starting in the early 20th century to reduce bias.
4) Post-WWII atrocities led to regulations like the Nuremberg Code to protect human subjects.
5) Government agencies like the FDA were formed to oversee drug development and approval

The document describes a series of incidents that the author alleges were criminal acts of retaliation committed by Jonathan Lippman involving NYPD officers and the Visiting Nurse Service of New York. The author provides links to audio recordings and affidavits describing police officers coming to their home unannounced and a man impersonating an NYPD investigator who was actually from Visiting Nurse Service, in an attempt to coerce them into opening their door. The author argues this was part of a scripted effort to set them up medically as retaliation for requesting records from the Office of Court Administration.

The document describes a series of incidents that the author alleges were criminal acts of retaliation committed by Jonathan Lippman involving NYPD officers and the Visiting Nurse Service of New York. The author provides links to audio recordings and affidavits documenting two incidents on April 13, 2010 where NYPD officers came to their home without reason and later a man impersonating an NYPD investigator came to their home from the Visiting Nurse Service. The author alleges these were attempts to coerce them and create a false association with law enforcement and medical services to set up an involuntary medical situation. The author urges the police to thoroughly investigate the officers and medical workers involved and warns of Satanic infiltration within law enforcement and medical fields.
This document discusses the criminal use of electromagnetic weapons and cell phone stun guns to torture innocent people. It claims that such weapons are unregulated, like bio-weapons and infectious disease injections. It warns that Satanists are using cell phones as electromagnetic weapons and disguising stun guns as mobile phones to harm others. Various web links are provided purportedly about these topics.
The document discusses excerpts from PDF files about deadly brain research conducted by Boyden Gray. It describes how Gray engaged in criminal medical research that partially blinded a Senator and coerced a Governor into an operation. It provides links to pages advertising Gray's brain tumor vaccine pipeline and money laundering frauds. The document warns about Gray's homemade deadly brain tumor treatments through the American Brain Tumor Association.
Serial killer Boyden Gray is allegedly sabotaging the management of a website called Cabanova that the author has a paid account with. The author's door was also found unlocked again, and they believe Gray is responsible for harassing and trying to kill them. They call for the laws and officials to do more to stop Gray's "continued insanity and infliction" on their life.
Regional Killer Boyden Gray is disguising deadly green projects in New York City and elsewhere that spread viruses, contaminate water supplies, and release air toxins. These projects are described as being amazingly well-funded but provide no education benefits. Documents listed raise concerns about Gray's projects involving gene-sensitive toxins in buildings and the contamination of potable water supplies.
The document makes various accusations against Boyden Gray, claiming he created deadly viruses by mixing bird, animal, and human samples. It provides links to New York health department pages about West Nile virus and avian influenza research, and argues this research was done to develop vaccines for profit rather than safety. Overall, the document takes a conspiratorial tone in alleging Gray's virus research was for harmful not health purposes.
The document alleges that Jonathan Lippman, the nominee for New York State Chief Justice, has a deadly dual life involving children and pathogens. It claims he is listed as an administrator for deadly children's research at the University of Rochester Medical Center and for programs that killed over 13 million people at the World Health Organization. It lists many criminal statutes and alleges Lippman will enable continued satanic ritual abuse, pedophilia, conspiracies to murder, and more through his position. Contact information is provided for government officials and media outlets.
This document discusses the beginning of recruitment for the National Children's Study. It will track over 100,000 children from before birth to age 21 to study how genes and environment impact health. Recruitment is starting in Duplin County, NC and Queens, NY. The study aims to provide insights into birth disorders and later health issues. It will be one of the largest long-term studies of children's health.
This document appears to discuss projects and organizations related to cleft lip and palate repair led by Boyden Gray that some find concerning or criminal. It provides numerous web links related to cleft lip research, treatment guidelines, and an organization called The Smile Train that has offices worldwide and conducts free cleft surgery for children. The document alleges the work induces subsequent diseases and human experimentation without consent.
Michael Jackson's death may have been caused by prescription drugs, specifically Demerol injections administered by his doctor just before his death. Family members say Jackson typically received daily Demerol shots and his dosage on the day of his death was "too much." Jackson's sister Janet holds Dr. Conrad Murray responsible, saying the doctor was feeding Jackson the anesthetic Propofol. Dr. Murray is scheduled to appear in court regarding reduced child support payments while unable to work since Jackson's death.
The document reports on a criminal attempt on the author's life by Regional Killer Boyden Gray on November 7, 2009 involving a dental procedure and prescription of altered antibiotics. It alleges Gray uses the New York healthcare system to administer deadly bioweapons through criminal organizations and money laundering. The author was also informed Gray targeted their elderly father with bioweapons in a nursing home. It calls for investigation of Gray's criminal activities and corruption within the New York judiciary.
The document discusses research being conducted by Boyden Gray involving inducing brain injuries, malignant tumors, and diseases through deadly brain research. It provides links to other documents and websites containing further information about Gray's alleged criminal activities, including disguised attempted murder of Senator Kennedy and deadly medical experiments. The tone is one of warning readers about Gray's purported serial killing and criminal medical research.
Gov. David Paterson of New York was hospitalized for acute glaucoma in his left eye. He received an outpatient laser procedure called an iridotomy to relieve pressure. His eye doctor, Dr. John Danias, said the procedure was successful and Paterson could resume his duties within a few days. However, Paterson remained at risk for glaucoma in his right eye and may need future treatment to prevent complications.

Regional Killer Boyden Gray's criminal activities are outlined in the document, including:
1) Name-aligned attempted murders and stalking through poisonings, sabotage, and organized stalking.
2) Obstruction of justice through falsified letters and documents meant to conceal criminal reports filed about Gray's attempted murders.
3) Deadly conflicts of interest around infectious disease vaccines and MRSA outbreaks linked to Gray's name and activities at a school and hospitals.
The document calls for an end to Gray's unregulated criminal insanity and deadly actions.
The document discusses the opening of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative's new Vaccine Design and Development Laboratory in New York City, the first facility dedicated solely to developing an AIDS vaccine. New York City Mayor Bloomberg and others will speak at the opening ceremony. The laboratory will work with partners to design and advance promising AIDS vaccine candidates with the goal of ending the AIDS epidemic through an effective and accessible vaccine. The new laboratory is located at the Brooklyn Army Terminal.
This document appears to discuss criminal plans and activities, including:
1) Regional killer Boyden Gray's name aligned poisoning/gassings and induced hospitalizations.
2) Plans for bombings and disseminating infectious diseases at schools.
3) Attempted disguise killings through induced medical issues and vaccinations.
The document provides web links to additional reports and exhibits on criminal usurpations, murder conspiracies, and other alleged illegal activities.

Uncle Sam's Human Lab Rats
By Bruce Falconer | Mon May 18, 2009 5:00 AM PST
Their stories are a staple of conspiracy culture: broken men, suffering hallucinations
and near-total amnesia, who say they are victims of secret government mind-control
experiments. Think Liev Schreiber in The Manchurian Candidate or Mel Gibson
in Conspiracy Theory. Journalists are a favorite target for the paranoid delusions of this
population. So is Gordon Erspamer—and the San Francisco lawyer's latest case isn't
helping him to fend off the tinfoil-hat crowd. He has filed suit against the CIA and the
US Army on behalf of the Vietnam Veterans of America and six former American soldiers
who claim they are the real thing: survivors of classified government tests conducted at
the Army's Edgewood Arsenal in Maryland between 1950 and 1975. "I get a lot of calls,"
he says. "There are a lot of crazy people out there who think that somebody from Mars
is controlling their behavior via radio waves." But when it comes to Edgewood, "I'm
finding that more and more of those stories are true!"
That government scientists conducted human experiments at Edgewood is not in
question. "The program involved testing of nerve agents, nerve agent antidotes,
psychochemicals, and irritants," according to a 1994 General Accounting Office (now
the Government Accountability Office) report (PDF). At least 7,800 US servicemen
served "as laboratory rats or guinea pigs" at Edgewood, alleges Erspamer's complaint,
filed in January in a federal district court in California. The Department of Veterans
Affairs has reported that military scientists tested hundreds of chemical and biological
substances on them, including VX, tabun, soman, sarin, cyanide, LSD, PCP, and World
War I-era blister agents like phosgene and mustard. The full scope of the tests,
however, may never be known. As a CIA official explained to the GAO, referring to the
agency's infamous MKULTRA mind-control experiments, "The names of those involved
in the tests are not available because names were not recorded or the records were
subsequently destroyed." Besides, said the official, some of the tests involving LSD and
other psychochemical drugs "were administered to an undetermined number of people
without their knowledge."
Erspamer's plaintiffs claim that, although they volunteered for the Edgewood program,
they were never adequately informed of the potential risks and continue to suffer
debilitating health effects as a result of the experiments. They hope to force the CIA and
the Army to admit wrongdoing, inform them of the specific substances they were
exposed to, and provide access to subsidized health care to treat their Edgewood-
related ailments. Despite what they describe as decades of suffering resulting from
their Edgewood experiences, the former soldiers are not seeking monetary damages; a
1950 Supreme Court decision, the Feres case, precludes military personnel from suing
the federal government for personal injuries sustained in the line of duty. The CIA's
decision to use military personnel as test subjects followed the court's decision and is
an issue Erspamer plans to raise at trial.
"Suddenly, they stopped using civilian subjects and said, 'Oh, we can get these military
guys for free,'" he says. "The government could do whatever it wanted to them without
liability. We want to bring that to the attention of the public, because I don't think most
people understand that." (Asked about Erspamer's suit, CIA spokeswoman Marie Harf
2. would say only that the agency's human testing program has "been thoroughly
investigated, and the CIA fully cooperated with each of the investigations.")
Erspamer's involvement in the case is deeply personal. His father was a government
scientist during Operation Crossroads, a series of nuclear tests conducted at Bikini Atoll
in the Pacific in the summer of 1946; he was present aboard a research vessel for the
"Baker" test, during which a 21-kiloton thermonuclear bomb was detonated 90 feet
below water. The blast resulted in massive radioactive contamination. Erspamer's
father and the rest of the ship's crew, he says, all died in middle age from radiogenic
diseases. Erspamer makes his living in the field of energy litigation, but has twice
before argued class action suits for veterans—one for soldiers who, like his father, were
exposed to radiation during nuclear tests (a case he ultimately lost in a 1992 appellate
decision) and more recently one on behalf of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans denied
treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. The case is on appeal in California's 9th
Circuit.
"Nobody out there is doing these types of cases," he says. "It's really sad because the
veterans are left holding the bag, and it's not a very pretty bag."
One of those vets is Frank Rochelle. Unlike those of other test veterans, portions of his
heavily redacted medical records have survived, providing a rare, if incomplete, account
of his experiences. In 1968, while posted at Virginia's Fort Lee as a 20-year-old Army
draftee, he saw a notice calling for volunteers for the Edgewood program. Among the
promised incentives were relief from guard duty, the freedom to wear civilian clothes,
three-day weekends, and, upon completion, a medal of commendation—all for
participation in experiments that, according to the notice, would help the military test a
new generation of equipment, clothing, and gas masks. Upon his arrival at the testing
facility in Maryland, he says he was asked to sign a series of documents, including a
release form and a secrecy agreement. The tests would be risk free, he says he was
told, and any drugs given would not exceed normal dosage. Over the next two months,
however, he was subjected to three rounds of experiments that, Rochelle says, left him
permanently damaged. His medical records indicate that he was exposed to nonlethal
incapacitating agents like DHMP and glycolate, both of which act as sedatives that
produce hallucinations. In the latter case, Rochelle says he was taken into a gas
chamber and strapped to a chair by two men in white lab coats, who affixed a mask to
his face and told him to breathe normally. He quickly lost consciousness. According to
Erspamer's complaint, "Over the next two to three days, Frank was hallucinating and
high: he thought he was three feet tall, saw animals on the walls, thought he was being
pursued by a 6-foot-tall white rabbit, heard people calling his name, thought that all his
freckles were bugs under his skin, and used a razor to try to cut these bugs out. No one
from the clinical staff intervened on his behalf…"
Medical records indicate that Rochelle went through a third round of testing, but he has
no memory of it. For years he's been having nightmares about the Edgewood tests and
now suffers from anxiety, memory loss, sleep apnea, tinnitus, and loss of vision, all of
which he claims are direct results of the experiments. Still, he didn't inform his doctor
of the tests until 2006, believing that he was still bound by the oath of secrecy he swore
in 1968. (The government finally released human test subjects to speak to their
physicians about the tests in June 2006, under the condition that they not "discuss
anything that relates to operational information that might reveal chemical or biological
warfare vulnerabilities or capabilities.")
Rochelle's story is similar to those of Erspamer's other plaintiffs, all of whom claim to
be suffering debilitating health effects stemming from the experiments. Of course,
substantiating these claims is a challenge, given that most of the medical records were
3. destroyed upon completion of the program. Rochelle's records remain intact, but for
"others we have less information," says Erspamer. "We spent a great deal of time on
that topic, and we are confident that the plaintiffs are who they say they are, were
where they said they were, and got what they said they got," in terms of exposure to
experimental chemicals. "Who bears the burden on that issue when the defendants
destroyed the evidence?" Erspamer asks. "They've put all that stuff through the
shredder."
Compensation for injuries sustained during human testing of chemical and biological
agents is not unprecedented. Last year, more than 350 servicemen who served as test
subjects at Porton Down, a secret military research facility where the British
government conducted its own series of mind-control experiments, were granted nearly
$6 million in compensation in an out-of-court settlement with the UK's Ministry of
Defence. Likewise, in 2004, the Canadian government began offering $18,000 payments
to eligible veterans of experiments at its testing facilities.
Nevertheless, says Erspamer, "No American soldiers have ever been compensated." The
CIA and the Army "just hope they're all gonna die off, and they will unless somebody
does something."

May 2009,
Dear Friends,
4. We appreciate all of the support and we trust that you will find this news flash of use. We
have been covering both sides of the Mind Effects controversy for the last fifteen years. As
this issue has evolved much has been revealed that continues to cause great concerns on
the side of abuse of human subjects rather than seeking to enhance human mental
performance. Just a few years ago the Navy announced their new requirements for work on
human subjects including the below statement which you can see in its entirety at our
website www.earthpulse.com under the Mind/ Brain Effects section.
DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY
SECNAVINST 3900.39D
3 November 2006
Taken from page 9.
"(2) The Under Secretary of the Navy (UNSECNAV) is the Approval Authority for research
involving: (a) Severe or unusual intrusions, either physical or psychological, on human
subjects (such as consciousness-altering drugs or mind-control techniques)."
Published May 14, 2009 in Wired Magazine a very important article:
Danger Room What's Next in National Security
Pentagon Preps Soldier Telepathy Push
"Forget the battlefield radios, the combat PDAs or even infantry hand signals. When the
soldiers of the future want to communicate, they'll read each other's minds.
At least, that's the hope of researchers at the Pentagon's mad-science division Darpa. The
agency's budget for the next fiscal year includes $4 million to start up a program called
Silent Talk. The goal is to "allow user-to-user communication on the battlefield without the
use of vocalized speech through analysis of neural signals." That's on top of the $4 million
the Army handed out last year to the University of California to investigate the potential for
computer-mediated telepathy.
Before being vocalized, speech exists as word-specific neural signals in the mind. Darpa
wants to develop technology that would detect these signals of "pre-speech," analyze them,
and then transmit the statement to an intended interlocutor. Darpa plans to use EEG to read
the brain waves. It's a technique they're also testing in a project to devise mind-reading
binoculars that alert soldiers to threats faster the conscious mind can process them.
The project has three major goals, according to Darpa. First, try to map a person's EEG
patterns to his or her individual words. Then, see if those patterns are generalizable - if
everyone has similar patterns. Last, "construct a fieldable pre-prototype that would decode
the signal and transmit over a limited range."
The military has been funding a handful of mind-tapping technology recently, and already
have monkeys capable of telepathic limb control. Telepathy may also have advantages
beyond covert battlefield chatter. Last year, the National Research Council and the Defense
Intelligence Agency released a report suggesting that neuroscience might also be useful to
"make the enemy obey our commands." The first step, though, may be getting a grunt to
obey his officer's remotely-transmitted thoughts."
This information and the related technology we have reported on in the past in well
documented materials. Now is the time and the urgency on increasing the public debate can
not be greater than it is today. We encourage readers of our materials to pass them on to
5. political leaders, radio hosts and others who can help get the word out. The last decade has
been a struggle for us to stay involved in this work and we need your help to continue.
Please consider purchasing some of our books, videos or health supplements and improve
your lives and keep our work moving forward.
The most documented book on the subject of Mind
Control yet published. We are scheduled to discuss this topic in conjunction with the recent
report of military efforts in electronic telepathy on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory on
Thursday May 28th. This show is subject to change by the producers so watch the Coast to
Coast website for more information. This book has over 250 sources quoted and provides
the needed references to take the issue head-on to the public. We also produced a
companion video on the subject that can be used in presentations and informational
broadcasts. We need help to produce new material and are no longer sponsored by the Lay
Institute on Technology which in the past assisted us greatly in getting these issues in front
of each of you.
This video is based on the book Controlling the Human Mind by Dr. Nick Begich,
Mind Control - A Brave New World goes beyond where others dare to go. Well documented
and presented this material will open your eyes to the possibilities and the concerns of this
double edged sword of 21st century warriors and intellectuals. Now is the time for action.
6. Play This HAARP is where it started for me in 1994 when we
first began bringing to the public these controversial matters. Over fifteen years my wife
and I spent $2.5 million dollars publicizing these issues in the hope that it would be enough
to create real change. We worked to the point of bankruptcy in 2002 after spending several
years recovering only to be hit with this economic downturn. We are now split between our
public efforts, consulting work for indigenous peoples and trying to rebuild our publishing
work. I need underwriters who are willing to support additional video production, articles
and our general communications efforts. Are you one of those people? If you are interested
in helping us in this way let us know by contacting us at the address at the end of this new
letter.
On the other side of these issues are mind enhancing potentials. These are the most
exciting areas yet for the average person to gain greater access to our mind's hidden
powers. These are not beyond our reach but in front of us now. Take a look at our website
and explore your potentials and together we will change the world and the way we move
the planet as created human souls. Thank you again for your continued support.
The material below was taken from our book Earth Rising the Revolution - Toward a
Thousand Years of Peace. It was a pre 9-11 expose on what was to come and it is now here!
In "a dramatic demonstration of mind reading, neuroscientists have created videos of what
a cat sees by using electrodes implanted in the animal's brain. 'Trying to understand how
the brain codes information leads to the possibility of replacing parts of the nervous system
with an artificial device,' he said." The scientist commenting on this technology saw the
future possibility of brain activity mapping being used in creating electronic components to
replace damaged parts of the system. The use of mind mapping had other possibilities as
well. Similar research was pursued by Dr. José Delgado at one of the country's leading
research institutions in controlling the behavior of humans and animals. Actual testing of
certain systems proved "that movements, sensations, emotions, desires, ideas, and a
variety of psychological phenomena may be induced, inhibited, or modified by electrical
stimulation of specific areas of the brain." By 1985, Dr. Delgado was able to create these
effects using only a radio signal sent to the brain remotely, using energy concentrations of
less than 1/50th of what the Earth naturally produces. This discovery implied that
frequency, waveform and pulse rate (modulation) were the important factors rather than
the amount of energy being used. In considering this it makes sense because the human
7. body does not require high electromagnetic power concentration to regulate its normal
functioning - the key was in finding the "tuning" mechanisms for locating the right
"receiving station" in the brain.
By 1998, publicly released information was being discussed as a result of information
openly flowing out of Russia. A meeting was held to assess the threat: the "main purpose of
the March meetings was described in the Psychotechnologies memo as to 'determine
whether psycho-correction technologies represent a present or future threat to U.S. national
security in situations where inaudible commands might be used to alter behavior.'" The
threat assessment was likely to begin to condition Americans for the pubic
acknowledgement of one of the government's long held secrets - the human mind and body
could be controlled remotely without a trace of evidence being left behind. In another
quote, one of the leading researchers in this area began to announce his findings: "But
psychological-warfare experts on all sides still dream that they will one day control the
enemy's mind. And in a tiny, dungeon like lab in the basement of Moscow's ominously
named Institute of Psycho-Correction, Smirnov and other Russian psychiatrists are already
working on schizophrenics, drug addicts and cancer patients." The results of this research
have been investigated and demonstrated to members of the intelligence community in the
United States and have even been demonstrated on a Canadian television documentary by
Dr. Smirnov.
"Fantasies are thought processes involving internal monologues and imaginative sequences
which can motivate healthy people to constructive behavior; likewise, they can inspire
unbalanced individuals to destructive or dangerous behavior. One conclusion from that
research was that fantasy played a major role among violent criminals. Researchers learned
that criminals often daydreamed their fantasies, and then practiced elements of those
fantasies before committing their crime. FBI agents determined that violent criminals often
exhibit telltale signs as children and as adults. Hence, disturbed employees or students may
demonstrate signs of violent fantasies to close observers. Troubled individuals may be
obsessively interested in music with violent lyrics, or may have a drug or alcohol problem.
When these signs reveal themselves, they should be reported to a threat management
team, which can then neutralize the threat, either by therapy, if rehabilitation is possible, or
by firing the employee. Workplace and school violence is usually preceded by warning
signs." This issue is also an interesting one as the next chapter will show. The ability to
determine a "predisposition" for a behavior does not mean that a person will make the
