“In World War I, the U.S. produced its own munitions as well as deploying weapons produced by the French. The U.S. produced 5,770 metric tons of these weapons, including 1,400 metric tons of phosgene and 175 metric tons of mustard gas.”-Wikipedia
“Agent Orange or Herbicide Orange (HO) is one of the herbicides and defoliants used by the U.S. military as part of its chemical warfare program, Operation Ranch Hand, during the Vietnam War from 1961 to 1971. Vietnam estimates 400,000 people were killed or maimed, and 500,000 children born with birth defects as a result of its use. The Red Cross of Vietnam estimates that up to 1 million people are disabled or have health problems due to Agent Orange.”-Wikipedia
Recently a study out of New Zealand revealed that an incredibly high number of Australian and New Zealand Vietnam veterans died from all kinds of nasty cancers. Those Digger and Kiwi troops served in Vietnam in the same area that U.S. forces sprayed Agent Orange.
“A review of thousands of declassified government documents and interviews with former policymakers shows that U.S. intelligence and logistical support played a crucial role in shoring up Iraqi defenses against the ‘human wave’ attacks by suicidal Iranian troops. The administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush authorized the sale to Iraq of numerous items that had both military and civilian applications, including poisonous chemicals and deadly biological viruses, such as anthrax and bubonic plague.”–Michael Dobbs, Washington Post
“The United States offensive biological weapons program was instigated by President Franklin Roosevelt……The U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, located in Fort Detrick, Maryland, produces small quantities of biological agents, for use in biological weapons….”-Wikipedia

“In 1779, George Washington sent orders to General John Sullivan concerning the need to attack and destroy the Iroquois Nations. ‘The immediate objects are total destruction of their settlements, and capture of as many prisoners of every age and sex possible.’ Washington was also an advocate of germ warfare, first introduced by Sir Jeffery Amherst after whom the town of Amherst, Massachusetts, and Amherst College are named. The idea of germ warfare with smallpox was suggested to Colonel Henry Bouquet, after which Colonel Bouquet wrote back: ‘I will try to inoculate the [Indians] with some blankets that may fall into their hands, and take care not to get the disease myself. As it is pity to expose good men against then, I wish we could make use of the Spanish method, to hunt them with English dogs, supported by rangers and some light horse, who would, I think, effectually extirpate or remove the vermin.’ About 60 years later, Andrew Jackson took Colonel Bouquet’s advice in his war against the Seminoles.”– Kurt Kaltreider, American Indian Prophecies
“During the Seminole War the Federal Soldiers used germ warfare weapons, such as leaving small pox infected blankets for the Seminole to take and catch the disease.…..At Yorktown, the National Park Service explains the role of Slaves as germ warfare weapons in the plaque reproduced here.”-?
“Mighty Chief Billy Bowlegs died from the scourge that felled tens of thousands of Native Americans following the arrival of European settlers on the continent. Between 1837 and 1870, at least four different epidemics struck the Plains tribes. Chief Billy Bowlegs was deported by the U.S. Army right into the teeth of one of those small pox epidemics.”–Examiner
“The Chickasaw tribe probably had the easiest removal because there were fewer of them. Nonetheless, 500 died of smallpox alone. It has been said that the Cherokees suffered the most. The Georgia militia invaded the nation destroying crops, burning homes, and scattering families. Federal Troops rounded up the remaining tribe and herded them into concentration camps. Disease spread and eventually one quarter of the tribe perished. Lastly, the Seminoles who were deceived by the government agents into signing the treaty, and they fought when authorities tried to enforce it. The result was the second Seminole War in 1835 as the U.S. army moved to Florida to remove them. The last band of the Seminoles were force westward in chains in 1859.”–Trail of Tears: 1830-1858
“…two nuclear weapons were used by the United States against Japan in World War II in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Altogether, the two bombings killed [initially] an estimated 200,000 Japanese citizens [including children] and injured another 130,000.”-Wikipedia
“Conducted in 1946 at Bikini, CROSSROADS [nuclear weapons test] involved approximately 42,000 [U.S. military] personnel, 251 ships, and 156 aircraft. The series consisted of an airdrop detonated at a height of 520 feet and an underwater shot conducted at a depth of 90 feet….”-Trinity Atomic Web site
“The Navy had provided most of the personnel for the earlier Pacific nuclear test series. It contributed the largest number to GREENHOUSE, too, but the Army and Air Force were also well represented…..Film badges were issued to individuals who might be exposed to radiation while performing their duties. In addition, over 75 film badges for each test were distributed among the six participating ships, to be worn from the day of the test to 7 days thereafter. Among the men in the test area during all or part of the testing operations, 2,416 were badged one or more times.”-Trinity Atomic Web site
“Operation BUSTER-JANGLE involved an estimated 7,800 DOD personnel….SWC sampling pilots and crews were authorized to receive up to 3.9 rem because their mission required them to penetrate the clouds resulting from the detonations…..”-Trinity Atomic Web Site
“…..8,700 DOD participants in Operation TUMBLER-SNAPPER…..The tactical maneuvers were designed in part to provide realistic training for ground units when supported by tactical atomic weapons and to determine the psychological reactions of troops participating in the exercise. The DOG tactical maneuver was the first Marine Corps maneuver of the CONUS tests….[in other words, U.S. Army and Marines were ordered to march about in an area hat had just been subject to nuclear explosion]“-Trinity Atomic Web Site
“IVY engaged nearly 11,650 participants, of whom approximately 9,350 were military and about 2,300 were civilians. Most of the civilians and over 6,600 of the military personnel operated from Enewetak Atoll and from task force ships based there……operations were marred by an accident when a cloud-sampling pilot was lost at sea after his aircraft ran out of fuel. A seven-man rescue crew flew their aircraft over a fallout zone to reach the area of the downed airplane as soon as possible. In the process, the crewmembers received radiation doses ranging from 10 to 17.8 rem. These levels considerably exceeded the maximum permissible limit of 3.9 rem of gamma radiation established for Operation IVY participants……A crew of 12 in a second aircraft was overexposed when caught in fallout debris while on a photographic mission….”-Trinity Atomic Web site
“Operation UPSHOTKNOTHOLE consisted of 11 nuclear tests, a number exceeding that of any previous nuclear test series….The Government wanted to show the American public that nuclear weapons could be used defensively, without destroying large urban centers and populations….An estimated 18,000 DOD personnel participated…..staff officers calculated [guesstimated] the effects of a nuclear detonation to determine a minimum safe distance for observing the blast; they later watched the detonation from the calculated position. Among the other activities, the operational helicopter tests performed by the Marine Corps were designed to investigate the capability of helicopters and their crews to withstand a nuclear burst and its effects.”-Trinity Atomic Web Site
“…Shot BRAVO, had a yield of 15 megatons and was the largest device ever detonated by the U.S. Government….approximately 12,700 DOD participants in this series had duty stations at the AEC design laboratories or were members of units performing separate experiments or various support roles. Almost all of the Navy support personnel…..personnel exceeded the maximum permissible limit of 3.9 rem of gamma radiation within any 13-week period of the operation. BRAVO fallout on some Navy ships resulted in personnel who had doses approaching or exceeding this limit. To allow for completion of the CASTLE tests, it became necessary to issue a number of waiver authorizations permitting doses of as much as 7.8 rem. In a limited number of shipboard cases, even this level was exceeded. Substantial overdoses from BRAVO, the highest for any test series, were accrued by the 28 Air Force and Army personnel on Rongerik Atoll and the 92 crew members of USS Patapsco, a Navy gasoline tanker that was overtaken by the nuclear cloud on the day following the shot while en route from Enewetak Atoll to Pearl Harbor…21 individuals on the USS Philip and 16 on the USS Bairoko sustained lesions that were classified as beta burns…”-Trinity Atomic web Site
“Operation TEAPOT was the fifth series of CONUS tests….troops [about 8-thousand] observing the ESS detonation….were positioned approximately 8 kilometers [4.9 miles] from the shot site……the Marine Brigade Exercise….involved about 300 officers and 1,950 enlisted men. The objective….to test the tactics and techniques employed if a nuclear detonation were used to support an air-ground task force. The troop test at APPLE 2, involving about 1,000 troops, was designed to demonstrate the capability of a reinforced tank battalion to seize an objective immediately after a nuclear detonation.”-Atomic trinity Web Site

“The U.S. invasion of Iraq has left behind a legacy of cancer and birth defects suspected of being caused by the U.S. military’s extensive use of depleted uranium and white phosphorus…….we are seeing a rate of congenital malformations in the city of Fallujah that has surpassed even that in the wake of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that nuclear bombs were dropped on at the end of World War 2!”-Dahr Jamail, DemocracyNow interview
“Gulf War syndrome (GWS), also known as Gulf War illness (GWI), is a chronic multisymptom disorder affecting returning military veterans and civilian workers of the Gulf War. A wide range of acute and chronic symptoms have been linked to it, including fatigue, muscle pain, cognitive problems, rashes and diarrhea. Approximately 250,000 of the 697,000 veterans who served in the 1991 Gulf War are afflicted with enduring chronic multi-symptom illness, a condition with serious consequences. From 1995 to 2005, the health of combat veterans worsened in comparison with nondeployed veterans, with the onset of more new chronic diseases, functional impairment, repeated clinic visits and hospitalizations, chronic fatigue syndrome-like illness, posttraumatic stress disorder, and greater persistence of adverse health incidents. According to a report by the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, it showed that veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan may also suffer from the syndrome. Suggested causes have included depleted uranium, sarin gas, smoke from burning oil wells, vaccinations, combat stress and psychological factors, though only pyridostigmine (an antitoxin for nerve agents) and organophosphate pesticides have been conclusively linked.”-Wikipedia
