THE THREAT FROM WITHIN

BBC: "Fifty years ago, American scientists were in a frantic race to counter what they saw as the Soviet threat from germ warfare. Biological pathogens they developed were tested on volunteers from a pacifist church and were also released in public places.
But America's Institute of Medicine is conducting a study of more than 6,000 veterans who say their health has been compromised by secret tests in the Cold War years.
Some of these were veteran sailors who were involved in tests known as SHAD - Shipborne Hazard and Defense - which involved spraying lethal chemicals such as sarin and nerve gases in the open sea.
But it wasn't just the white coat volunteers and sailors who were subject to experiments. Scientists used what they thought was a harmless simulant in major bio-weapon tests across US cities and on public transport."

I still remember when I was young, that there was much talk about the Russians and Chinese doing 'brainwashing'. Well, it appears that was a CIA fabrication to justify their own experiments.
Earthops: "Beginning in the early 1950s, CIA engaged in an extensive program of human experimentation, using drugs, psychological, and other means in search of techniques to control human behavior.
CIA documents and a 1963 CIA Inspector General (IG) report state quite clearly that MKULTRA was a program 'concerned with research and development of chemical, biological, and radiological materials capable of employment in clandestine operations to control human behavior'.
It began under the code name BLUEBIRD (and was later known as ARTICHOKE) and was operated by the Office of Security and OSI with support from other offices."

Frank Olson, one of the first scientists to work at Fort Detrick in the U.S. Army's biowarfare facility, founded in 1943, had a role in preparing anthrax and other biological weapons.
The fact that Frank Olson had died shortly after being given LSD in a CIA experiment came out in 1975 as a consequence of President Ford's Rockefeller Commission investigation into the CIA's domestic activities.
Cheney and Rumsfeld were given the task of covering up the details of Frank Olson's death. At the time, Rumsfeld was White House Chief of Staff to President Gerald Ford. Dick Cheney was a senior White House assistant."
A documentary film was made about the whole affair.

The threat doesn't usually come from the outside but from within the nation. Fabricating enemies and anticipating imagined threats poses grave health risks.
