Our own government sprayed St. Louis with radioactive particles--and for years

Wow.

Is it any wonder people don't think our government is or can be against us? I just saw this article online:

Revealed: Army scientists secretly sprayed St Louis with 'radioactive' particles for YEARS to test chemical warfare technology

The United States Military conducted top secret experiments on the citizens of St. Louis, Missouri, for years, exposing them to radioactive compounds, a researcher has claimed.

While it was known that the government sprayed 'harmless' zinc cadmium silfide particles over the general population in St Louis, Professor Lisa Martino-Taylor, a sociologist at St. Louis Community College, claims that a radioactive additive was also mixed with the compound.

She has accrued detailed descriptions as well as photographs of the spraying which exposed the unwitting public, predominantly in low-income and minority communities, to radioactive particles.

It's bad enough the government did it, period, but then to also do it to "low-income and minority communities"?

What the hell are we supposed to think about our own government?

And who's to say what causes cancer in the US?

This is just stunning and extremely disappointing to me. Not completely surprising but still a bit of a shock.

So what are they doing to us now? Nothing? Hopefully? And are we supposed to believe that?

Is it any wonder people think the contrails of jet planes are poisoning us, even now? I just hope the ones who believe that are mistaken.

And then, to add yet more indignation to this whole mess, look where it's coming from. The story here is reported from the UK, not a media source here in the States. That's not to say some national or local news source didn't report it but this is the first I've seen of it.

Check out just this one bit of information from the article:

"...the greatest concentration of spraying in St Louis was at the Pruit-Igoe public housing complex, which was home to 10,000 low income residents. She said that 70 per cent of those residents were children under the age of 12."

How disgusting, how revolting is that?

With a bit of further digging, I found the military and government did this over not just St. Louis, either, but over Corpus Christi, Texas, too. (See 2nd link, below).

What are we to think or trust of our government?

Things we Americans should learn from Germany and Germans

One more thing we could learn from the German people:

Breaking news today:

Germany Rejects Fracking

Yet another great idea and movement from Germany since fracking is so polluting and causes people to get sick and also causes Earthquakes.

We should be so smart.

Other things we could and should learn from Germany:

--how to have workers--labor--and management cooperate for the benefit of labor, management, the companies themselves and so, the nation;

--killing nuclear power is a good idea since it has so many and much extra costs to it, due to the half-life of radioactive uranium and those storage costs and issues;

--working hard on solar energy, specifically photovoltaic cells, makes a lot of sense due to its many benefits not least of which is getting out of the Middle East, turning over so much national treasure for oil until we do thus weakening the nation further, polluting far less, putting less C02 in the air, etc.;

--killing "outsourcing" of manufacturing since it takes jobs out of the country which weakens us as citizens but also the nation, of course.

So much we could learn.

And that's just a short list.

If only we wanted to learn, huh?

What we don't know about Chernobyl--and now Fukushima--and radioactivity

From the video information: "Dr Helen Caldicott spoke to a standing room only crowd at the Faulkner Gallery in Santa Barbara on Friday evening March 23, 2012 on 'The Medical Implications of Fukushima, Nuclear Power and Nuclear Proliferation'". This is so worth the fourteen minutes and 43 seconds it takes to watch this, it's stunning. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Helen_Caldicott

And so it begins...

From CNN today:

Radiation found in food as workers scramble to curb nuclear crisis

Tokyo (CNN) -- The Japanese government halted the sale of all food from farms near a tsunami-affected nuclear plant Saturday after abnormally high levels of radiation were found in milk and spinach.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said levels of radiation exceeding safety limits stipulated by Japanese law were found in some samples of spinach and milk from the Fukushima and Ibaraki prefectures but authorities said the radioactive iodine-contaminated food posed little risk.

(Yeah, right.)

Tainted milk was found 30 kilometers from the plant and spinach was collected as far as 100 kilometers (65 miles) to the south, almost half way to Tokyo.

Waiting for no other shoe to drop

News out today says Iran is injecting fuel into their first nuclear reactor:

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran began loading fuel into the core of its first atomic power plant on Tuesday, moving closer to the start up of a facility that leaders have touted as defying of international efforts to curtail the country's nuclear ambitions.


Hopefully Israel's calmer heads are prevailing and there's no plan to attack Iran because of this.


Don't get me wrong, I'm not on Iran's side or an Iranian supporter of any kind but a war between nations in the Middle East is the last thing the world needs, now or at any time, certainly.


Cross your fingers, folks.  Here's hoping there's no bombing of any kind.
