 ====== Human Experimentation ======
 **Human experimentation** can be controversial, even in cases of [[informed consent]].
+=====Tufts University’s Fraudulent China Golden Rice “Experiment”=====
+Tufts and the USDA might have escaped with their duplicity and deceit, but for Greenpeace who noticed an article published in August of 2012 in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, which claimed that GM Golden Rice had been used in an experimental test on Chinese children in Hengyang City in China's Hunan Province. Greenpeace informed China's CDC of the tests, claiming "the parents likely were completely unaware or misinformed" of the fact and/or purpose of the study, an accusation that proved to be true. Questioning the trial’s legitimacy, and condemning the research as exposing the children to health risks, Greenpeace said the trial contravened a Chinese Ministry of Agriculture decision in 2008 to abort plans for the project, was a breach of scientific and medical ethics, and asked the government to launch an investigation. Fang Lifeng at Greenpeace said it was "incredibly disturbing" to think that an American institution had used Chinese children as the subjects of its experiment. "Chinese agriculture authorities stopped the same trial four years ago. How did the research come to be revived after that emphatic ban?"

-The most notorious part of this project involves giving LSD and other drugs to American subjects without their knowledge or against their will, causing several to commit suicide. However, the operation involves far more than this. Funded in part by the Rockefeller and Ford foundations, research includes [[propaganda]], brainwashing, public relations, advertising, hypnosis, and other forms of suggestion.

+==== Bioweapons Testing ====
+{{ ::ft_detrick_org_chart_lyme_human_experiments.png?400|}}
+On June 6, 1966, an invisible man, a man who looked like everyone and no one, stepped onto a crowded subway car at the 14th Street Station in Manhattan.
+He was of average height and build. His thinning hair was combed over his cue-ball head. He wore a cheap suit and dark sunglasses. What looked like a photographic light meter hung off his belt, and he carried a plastic briefcase that emitted a faint whirring sound.
+The man was [[:Charles Senseney]], a [[:CIA]] weapons developer from the [[:Special Operations Division]] at [[:Fort Detrick]] and the leader of a 21-person team running a covert operation to see how vulnerable New Yorkers might be to a bioweapon attack.
+As he rode on the subway car, one of his operatives stood at street level over a subway ventilation grate and opened the brown paper bag he was carrying. As an approaching train rumbled beneath his feet, he pulled out a lightbulb and shattered it over the grate. Upon shattering, it released an invisible, odorless cloud of bacteria that was sucked into the tunnel by the passing train and rapidly disseminated throughout the whole network of tunnels. The cloud held approximately 87 trillion spores of [[:Bacillus subtilis]], a bacterium thought to be harmless. It had been freeze-dried and processed into particles that mimicked the physical properties of weaponized anthrax.
+For the next few hours, Senseney’s team rode around the subway system carrying bacterial “sniffers” disguised as briefcases and purses. Senseney’s “photographic light meter” was actually a device that tracked temperature and humidity. At the end of the day, one of the sensors, at the 23rd Street station, showed “calculated respiratory exposure to be 100,000 spores-a-breath five minutes after the light bulbs broke.”
+“By June 10, a million New Yorkers were hatching spores in the wet warmth of their lungs,” said Senseney. Had it been [[:anthrax]] in the lightbulbs, the spores would’ve “put New York out of commission.”
+This was one of many open-air tests conducted in the 1960s and ’70s by the CIA, the U.S. Army, and the [[:Department of Defense]]. The coastal tests were conducted by personnel in Project [[:Shipboard Hazard and Defense]] (SHAD), who sprayed simulated and live biological and chemical warfare agents over the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans near the Marshall Islands, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the California coast. Land-based tests took place domestically in Alaska, Hawaii, Maryland, Florida, Utah, and Georgia, and internationally in Panama, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
+In 1964 and 1965, they used Bacillus subtilis to simulate the physical characteristics of the [[:smallpox]] virus in airborne tests in Washington, DC’s, National Airport and the Greyhound bus terminal.
+Some of these human experiments were revealed through the Senate’s 1976 [[:Church Committee]] Report, an independent [[:Church of Scientology]] investigation, and a 2003 class-action lawsuit led against the U.S. government on behalf of test subjects and veterans involved in SHAD projects. But a few of these open-air tests are still classified, the records have been destroyed, or the details of the operations were never put in writing.
+In its 1966 budget report, the [[:Pentagon]] noted that 57 U.S. universities and affiliated research institutions were among the top 500 defense research contractors.((https://disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/book-excerpt-bitten-the-secret-history?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email))
